In this message, Pastor Andrew Coleman unpacks what the Bible says about persecution—what it is, why it happens, and how believers are called to respond. From social rejection and slander to imprisonment and even martyrdom, Scripture shows us that suffering for Christ is not a surprise—it's part of our calling. Drawing from 1 Peter and church history, this sermon encourages believers to face trials with courage, hope, and unwavering faith in God's grace and glory. “If anyone suffers as a Christi...

Who are we in a world that rejects us? In this message from 1 Peter 1:1–2, Pastor Andrew Coleman unpacks the identity of believers as elect exiles—chosen by God, set apart by the Spirit, and called to follow Christ even in suffering. Far from being random or forgotten, God’s people are part of His eternal plan, scattered yet secure in His love. This sermon explores the profound doctrine of divine election—not as a puzzle to solve, but as a promise to rejoice in. _________________________________...

In this first of many sermons in the books of 1 and 2 Peter, Pastor Andrew emphasizes the important theme of Peter's first letter: Take Heart! Because of the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, those who persevere in Him can have true hope amidst their own suffering and hardships, knowing that God's saving promises will be delivered both now and forever. This message also introduces the historical background of the Apostle Peter—his identity, relationship with Jesus, role in the ...

In this sermon on Acts 2, Pastor Andrew Coleman examines the arrival of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and its profound implications for the church. He explains how the outpouring of the Spirit fulfills Old Testament prophecy, empowers ordinary believers to boldly proclaim Christ, and marks a shift in redemptive history as God’s presence moves from the temple to His people. The sermon highlights how the Spirit’s arrival is both a theological event and a practical turning point—equipping believers ...

In this sermon on Ephesians 5:15–21, Pastor Ben Nistor explores what it means to “be filled by the Spirit”—not just indwelt at salvation, but continually influenced and controlled by the Holy Spirit in daily life. Paul contrasts this Spirit-filling with drunkenness, urging believers to surrender their will, emotions, and desires to God so the Spirit can lead them in wisdom, worship, and obedience. Unlike the indwelling of the Spirit (which happens once at salvation), being filled is a repeated, ...

Christians today can dangerously emphasize the extraordinary signs of the Holy Spirit to the woeful neglect of the Spirit's ordinary signs. In this sermon, The Ordinary Signs of the Spirit, Pastor Ben Nistor unpacks John 16:4–15 to reveal how the Spirit works in ordinary, yet powerful ways. While some today focus on dramatic, miraculous experiences, the Bible emphasizes the Spirit’s ongoing ministry—convicting the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, guiding believers into truth, glorifyin...

Pentecost is more than a historical event—it’s a powerful reminder of the Holy Spirit’s ongoing presence and work in the lives of believers. In this sermon, Pastor Andrew Coleman explores why the coming of the Holy Spirit is essential to God's plan of salvation. While we rightly celebrate Jesus’ birth, death, and resurrection, Pentecost highlights the often-overlooked work of the Spirit, who empowers, convicts, comforts, and guides us into all truth. From the Old Testament's promises to Jesus’ o...

Pastor Andrew Coleman continues his sermon series, "After the Resurrection," by preaching from John 21:9–17. In this powerful message, we revisit Jesus' restorative encounter with Peter after the resurrection. Around a charcoal fire—echoing the place of Peter’s denial—Jesus extends forgiveness, grace, and a renewed calling. Rather than condemning Peter, Jesus meets him in his shame and gently restores him with the question, “Do you love me?” This sermon explores the depth of Christ’s mercy and h...

In today’s sermon, Pastor Andrew Coleman preaches from John 21: 1-14 and looks at the 40 day period between Christ’s ascension and resurrection. Through this passage, we can see several key truths. First, Without Christ, we can do nothing that is eternal. Second, God’s people are incredibly diverse—all for his glory and purposes. Third, God’s people must learn to recognize, trust, and obey him. When we do this, there will be miraculous results and blessing. Ultimately, it is only the power of Ch...

Luke 24 retells the account of Jesus's resurrection. From this passage we learn that the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ was all part of God's plan for Jesus. Even though the disciples did not initially believe, Jesus walks with them in their sorrow, struggle, and doubt. Sometimes we hope for the wrong things, like the disciples hoped for Jesus to redeem them from Rome's oppression. And yet, Jesus does redeem his disciples from their own sin. In the end, God is the one who opens the minds...

In today's sermon, Pastor Andrew Coleman continues a sermon series on God's great generosity, preaching from 2 Corinthians 8: 1-7. In this passage, Paul writes to the Corinthian church and commends to them the Macedonian believers, who have demonstrated immense generosity with both their lives AND their finances. In this passage, several qualities in the Macedonian believers should impact US as we seek to live for Christ. Even in the midst of deep affliction and poverty, the Macedonians demonstr...

In today's sermon, Pastor Andrew Coleman continues a series on God's amazing generosity by preaching on what OUR response should be to God's generosity. In this sermon, we look at 2 Corinthians 9: 6-15 and see several key truths to guide our own response. Here we see that true Christians are called to give GENEROUSLY, with the right EMOTION (cheerfulness & faithfulness), with the right MOTIVATION (gratitude & thankfulness), while remembering God's inexpressible gift to US--the gift of Je...

In today's sermon, Pastor Andrew Coleman preaches on select passages from Scripture which show us God's amazing generosity. We see that God’s love means that God generously gives of himself to us. We also see that God CAN give all because he made all and owns all. God's amazing love displayed through his generosity is apparent from eternity past into present time and will continue into eternity future (see Sermon Notes for Scripture passages). Revelation 21:6 sums up the beauty and hope of God's...

Pastor Andrew preaches on Psalm 97, and as we dig into this passage, we see the Lord as the Reigning One and the Righteous One. God is the King over all creation--all nature and all nations--therefore, we can have joy and gladness! He has the victory over all things. God is victorious over evil and idolatry (the root of sin). God is victorious in delivering His people from the wicked. God is victorious in securing His holy place of Zion. God is victorious in securing JOY for all who trust in Him...

Pastor Andrew examines the Parable of the Prodigal Son, not just as a story of one wayward child but of two rebellious sons and a gracious father. It first highlights the burdens of being lost—shamelessness, desperation, and selfish envy—before revealing the joy of redemption. True joy begins when a sinner recognizes their desperate state, repents, and returns to God, mirroring the theme of joy in Jesus' parables of the Lost Sheep and Lost Coin. God delights in redeeming sinners, purchasing them...

In Jesus' parable of the prodigal son, we see several important truths in regards to the human heart and the need for salvation through Jesus Christ. Ultimately, there is only ONE SOLUTION to our wicked, miserable hearts… we need a new one! And a new heart can ONlY come through Jesus Christ! 2 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers...

In Zechariah 13:1–9, the LORD lovingly shows his people three layers of his salvation plan. The 'timeline' layer shows that God is working in and throughout history to bring about his plan of salvation. In the 'story-line-of-the-Bible' layer, God is showing how the narrative reaches its peak in Jesus Christ and goes beyond to the final day of judgment. And finally, in the 'Who is God?' layer, God shows rich truths to His people about who He is. Just like life is filled with layers of complexity ...

Zechariah 12 is all about how God’s kingdom will come at great cost to God’s people and their king, BUT the results will be GLORIOUS. God’s people will be saved and cleansed from sin! Israel will experience turmoil and pain, but God will powerfully act to bring salvation. Israel's enemies will attack Jerusalem but God will deliver the city and its inhabitants. Furthermore, God will make his people fiercely victorious, and they will defeat their enemies. And finally, God will cause his people to...

We continue our study in Zechariah by looking at Zechariah 11:1-17. In this passage, we see several prominent themes. Some of the important themes are that God rules supreme over the wicked and the righteous of every age. God reveals His will and fulfills His purpose to His true people. Everyone is responsible for their own actions in response to God’s Word. Whenever people persist in rebellion they pay a very heavy price. Generally speaking, a nation’s leaders reflect a nation’s people. Ultimat...

Ephesians 4:11–16 is all about growing in maturity. Each verse contains a statement about the importance of the church's growth. Without growth, a church is vulnerable and susceptible to errant teaching, bad leaders, and immaturity. God gave the church shepherds and teachers to guard and protect its maturity. Christian service and ministry work contributes directly to spiritual maturity. Pastor Andrew called the church to start serving, learning and praying. Only when a church is working hard...

In this sermon, Pastor Andrew Coleman encourages us from Ephesians 5: 15-21. We see the admonition to "Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise" (Eph. 5:15). What does it mean to walk in wisdom? Ephesians 5:17 answers that question by telling us it is to "understand what the will of the Lord is". This passage continues to outline several specific ways for believers to walk in wisdom toward the Lord, both in their private lives and also their public witness. ___________________...

International Mission Board president, Dr. Paul Chitwood, shares the World's greatest problem. In Romans 3:9–18, Paul explains that lostness is the World's biggest problem, because all have sinned against God. Lostness is an eternal problem and a universal one. The only solution to lostness is the gospel of Jesus Christ. From the beginning of time, each person is marked by the sting of the serpent, the sting of death. Jesus Christ reverses the sting of death when he was lifted up on the cross. ...

As a wrap up to the year, Pastor Jason reminds us of the importance of living between grace and glory. After defining saving grace, he proceeds to make observations from Titus 2:11-3:8. Paul instructs Titus on the power of grace, he reminds him of grace in salvation, and he insists on grace in all of Titus' teaching. For Christians, grace is foundational to living rightly for God's glory. Without grace, each person is deserving of eternal separation from God. But with grace, Christians experienc...

The birth of Jesus Christ was not without its family drama! In this sermon, Pastor Andrew shows how the Gospel writers, Matthew and Luke, recount the events surrounding Joseph and Mary and the birth of Christ. The background details of Joseph and Mary's lives reveal that God is sovereign in choosing them and that he is gracious to enter into our messy lives. As the Gospel writers unfold the story, we see the importance of the virgin birth, God's power and holiness, Mary's humility, and Joseph's ...

In this passage, we see that the people of Israel and Judah are destitute and afflicted because they have followed false gods and bad human leaders. Yet despite the people's sin and disobedience, the Lord yet again shows his immense kindness and compassion. The Lord promises restoration and redemption to his people. He offers words of comfort and hope, promising to once again deliver them fr...
