Sermons from June 2025
All About Praise: Psalm 103 | Stewart Karpiuk
Our focus is to praise Him. In the trials, in the disappointments of life, in the exciting times, in bad times and in trying times.
The Return of the King: Matthew 28:1-20 | Brent Smith
The Resurrection of Jesus was the single greatest event in history. This chapter highlights the witnesses at the resurrection (1-8), the wonder accompanying the resurrection (9-15), and the way after the resurrection (16-20).
The Selection of Saul: 1 Samuel 9-10 | Brent Smith
We left off last time with Israel demanding a king to rule over them, that they may be like all the other nations. They wanted a king to go out before them and fight their battles for them. This is not God’s will for them at this time, but He’s going to give them what they want, and it’s going to be to their detriment and judgment. In our study today we look at the selection of Israel’s first king.
The Darkness Before the Dawn: Matthew 27:45-66 | Brent Smith
The events surrounding the crucifixion of Jesus were profound and purposeful. They depict for us what was being accomplished in the redemptive plan of God. We see in our passage the reason for the cross, the results from the cross, and the response after the cross.
The King on the Cross: Matthew 27:27-44 | Brent Smith
Even in the depths of humiliation, God orchestrates redemption. Though Jesus was mocked, suffered, and rejected, He demonstrates that the real work of the Lord lies in grace and sacrifice.
The Demand for a King: 1 Samuel 7-8 | Brent Smith
In 1 Samuel 7-8, the Israelites, after years of oppression, repent and turn back to God, seeking His help against the Philistines. Samuel, a prophet and judge, leads them in prayer and sacrifice, and God answers with a resounding victory. However, the people then demand a human king, rejecting God’s rule, a request Samuel reluctantly fulfills, but warns them of the consequences of their choice.
The Storms of Life: John 6:15-21 | Mike Vincent
John 6:15-21 describes the disciples’ struggle on the Sea of Galilee after Jesus sent them ahead. They were caught in a storm and were rowing with difficulty when they saw Jesus walking on the water. Terrified, they initially thought he was a ghost, but he reassured them, saying “It is I; don’t be afraid.” The disciples then took Jesus into the boat, and it immediately reached their destination.
