Sermons on The Gospel
Genesis 3:15 Grace on Repeat explores the repeated biblical pattern found throughout Genesis: God blesses, humanity sins, humanity reaps the consequences, and yet God always provides a glimmer of hope. From Adam and Eve to Joseph, Lot, Hagar, Abraham, Babel, and Noah, the sermon traces how each narrative reveals God’s unchanging grace in the face of human failure. The message concludes by…
This sermon traces the Passover narrative and shows how God used it as a shadow of the greater deliverance found in Jesus Christ. Just as Israel was enslaved in Egypt, humanity is enslaved to sin, yet God moves with purpose to free His people. Jesus is revealed as the true Passover Lamb—foreknown, spotless, and offered for our salvation—whose blood rescues us from…
Romans 2 In this lesson, we are reminded that our own righteousness is never enough to earn salvation. Instead, we must rely on God’s grace and the transformative power of the Gospel.

Amid the confusion sown by…
1 John 4:1-21 In this sermon from 1 John 4, we explore what it truly means for a Christian to “abide in God.” John teaches that abiding requires both discernment—testing the spirits to ensure they align with Christ’s truth—and love, especially for fellow believers. Just as God demonstrated His love by sending His Son, we are called to reflect that love in…
1 John 1:1-4 This year, the Bible Bowl team will be looking at the General Epistles (with Revelation). These books tend to be rarely focused upon in our churches. The focus of these letters was helping tell truth from counterfeit—the real thing. To the inspired writers of the New Testament, who were very familiar with Christ, they could tell the difference at…
1 Samuel 15
