Sermons on Living Our Faith
Embracing Individuality in Relationships
In a world that often emphasizes conformity and societal norms, it’s easy to overlook the beauty and significance of each person’s unique identity, including within the context of marriage and relationships. In this sermon, we will discover that individuality is a gift from God, designed to enhance and enrich our relationships. Sermon Text: 1 Corinthians 7:7-8 Preacher: Pastor Bill Limmer
The Miracle of Preserving Life
Jesus not only is the author of life; he also is the preserver of life. The preservation of life is a fundamental value that reflects God’s love for His creation. The Bible teaches us that human life is sacred and should be protected at all costs. This means not only refraining from actions that may harm others, but also actively seeking to preserve and promote life in all its forms. In this sermon, we will understand how Jesus preserves our…
The Miracle of Life
Life has to come from somewhere. Life is a precious gift from God, and it is truly a miracle that we exist in this world. From the moment of conception to the final breath, every moment of our lives is a wonder to behold. As we reflect on the miracle of life, we will explore the beauty of creation and the power of God’s love for us. In this sermon, we will learn how Paul explains how the miracle of…
How do I know Jesus rose from the dead? (Easter)
Have you ever heard of Doubting Thomas? He was one of Jesus’ disciples and was known to doubt aspects of Jesus ministry and resurrection. When Jesus rose from the grave, Thomas stated he would not believe without seeing Jesus and touching his wounds from the cross. He needed to see to believe. Jesus states, “Blessed are those who have not seen, yet believe.” In this sermon we will learn about the countless promises fulfilled, proofs of the resurrection, and God’s…
Will God work for Me?
We easily get confused on what we want and need. Jesus performed many miracles including healing a crippled man and enabling him to walk. However, the more important miracle was forgiving that man’s sins and opening heaven’s door for him to walk in. In this sermon we will learn how to pursue the greater work of God and pursue His promises. Sermon Text: Mark 2:1-12 Preacher: Pastor Bill Limmer
Can God use Me?
The Lord uses us in our weakness to show his glory and to do things we could never do on our own. God provided Aaron to help Moses. God parted the Red Sea as Moses stretched out his hand. In this sermon, we will explore the different instances where God used Moses to let His glory shine though. Sermon Text: Exodus 4:10-12 Preacher: Pastor Ben Sadler
Not “Selfies”, But Self-Forgetfulness
Instead of making a name for himself, John the Baptist wanted to glorify God and make people followers of Jesus. He believed that Jesus and His name must increase, and John’s name decrease. Sermon Text: John 3: 22-36 Preacher: Pastor Ben Sadler
Not First, But Last
Instead of working so hard to be the greatest, Jesus calls us to work hard at being last and the servant of all. He showed his disciples how to serve by taking on the role of a servant and washing their feet. Sermon Text: John 13: 1-17 Preacher: Pastor Ben Sadler
Faith Prays for Blessing
As it says in James 1:16, every good and perfect gift comes from God. Therefore, God wants us to call on him in prayer. We pray a prayer of thanksgiving in times of blessing, and we call out to God for help in times of trial. James 5 tells us that prayer that flows from faith is powerful and effective. Sermon Text: James 5:13-20 Preacher: Pastor Ben Sadler
Faith Speaks Wisely
Our tongue is one of the smallest parts of our bodies, and yet it can cause the most trouble. The first two chapters of James teach us about growth through trials, putting knowledge into action, and letting go of worldly biases. James 3 adds another level to understanding Christian maturity as it teaches us the importance of speaking wisely with our words. Our words ought to flow from faith. Out of the same mouth should not come praising and cursing.…
Faith does Good Works
We believe that we are saved by faith in Jesus Christ apart from works. But true faith in Jesus will lead to good works. Our faith in not just some intellectual knowledge of God but the action of living it out. James 2 teaches us that it is the work of the Holy Spirit leading us to know that we are loved so that we can love. Sermon Text: James 2:14-26 Preacher: Pastor Bill Limmer
The Origin of Corruption
Not only are there individuals who are wicked, but we can see systems and institutions that conspire together in their corruption. Wickedness and evil permeate so much of society that we can’t even so our own contribution. Genesis 6 tells the story of how a whole group of people can be led off into evil, and more importantly, what we can do to remain faithful to the Lord. Sermon Text: Genesis 6-9 Preacher: Pastor Bill Limmer
