What Did You Expect?
What should the Christian expect life to look like as he awaits Christ’s return? Jesus prepares his disciples for this time in John 15:18-16:4a, teaching them and us to expect to be hated for Christ’s sake, and remember His words as you endure it.
A Fruitful Branch
Jesus is the true vine; his followers are the branches. What does that mean? Listen to Pastor Adam preach on John 15:1-17 as he explores the nature and results of abiding in Jesus, ultimately encouraging us to abide in Jesus Christ.
Better This Way
The night before the cross, Jesus assured His disciples that He will come back to take them to His Father’s house. But what will life look like between His departure and His return? In John 14:12-31, Jesus gives 7 benefits to His departure for his disciples, showing us that Jesus has provided His disciples with everything we need as we await His return.
Love One Another
As Jesus anticipates the cross, he shares one last evening with his disciples. In that conversation that begins with this passage, he prepares his disciples for his departure, and his first command to them in his absence is that they love one another.
Wash
The night before Jesus’ crucifixion, he washed his disciples’ feet. What is the significance of this surprising act of humble service? In this sermon, Pastor Adam reintroduces our series through the Gospel of John and shows us from Jesus’ foot-washing followed by Judas’ betrayal that the unwashed must be washed, the washed must wash, and even the unwashed must obey.
Up to Snuff
What a house is built on is the most important part of its construction. In Matthew 7:24-27, Jesus uses an illustration of two different types of foundations that a person can build their life on. Listen to this special message on Cross of Grace’s 1-year anniversary and its first morning service as Jesus shows us that when the storm comes, the house built on Christ will stand, while all others will fall.
Pervasive Praise
What type of praise does God deserve? Listen to Pastor Adam wrap up our Psalms of David series as he preaches Psalm 145, showing us that the incomprehensibly great God deserves comprehensive praise.
How to Be Happy
Are you happy? Do you think it’s possible to be truly happy? In Psalm 32, David teaches us the way of true happiness, showing us that to cover your sin leads to misery, but to have it covered brings joy.
The Sinner’s Prayer
What needs to happen for you to be forgiven of your sin against God? David instructs us by example in Psalm 51 how a sin-stained man can go to God to receive mercy and cleansing from his sin, showing us that if we want to be forgiven, God Himself must cleanse us.
Two Camps: Unworthy, Worthy
Do you think of yourself as worthy or unworthy in relation to God? Listen to Mike Nixon preach from Psalm 21, showing us that the unbeliever is worthy of judgment, while the believer is unworthy of blessing, but receives it by God’s grace in Christ.
Soul Satisfaction
Is there a type of satisfaction that isn’t dependent on your circumstances? Listen to Aaron Eaton preach on Psalm 63, where David shows us that God satisfies us in the wilderness.
Are You Needy?
What do you need most? The evidence of our lives may give many different answers, but our Good Shepherd gives us the right perspective. Listen to Jesse Doss preach on Psalm 23 to show us that Yahweh is the good shepherd and He is all the flock needs.
Do I Matter?
Do you matter? If so, why do you matter? Psalm 8 shows us who we are and why we matter as the crown of God’s creation, reminding us that man’s dignity can only be grounded in God’s glory.
Called to Worship
In Psalm 103, David commands himself and others to bless the Lord. What is the basis for our worship of God? Guest preacher, Caleb Hancock, shows us that because of who God is and what He’s done for us in Christ, we worship Him.
How to See God
Can we see God? In Jesus’ final address to the public in John 12:20-50, Jesus shows us how the world will see, why some won’t see, and what the world will see when they see Christ on the cross, leading us to behold Christ crucified.
The Worthy King
What type of King is King Jesus? And how should we respond to Him? In John 12:1-19, we see varying responses to this King and are encouraged to bow the knee to the worthy King.
Do You Believe This?
Is there any way the seemingly unstoppable force of death can be stopped? In John 11, the Apostle John tells the story of Lazarus and shows us that Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life, encouraging us to trust in the One who came to undo everything that sin has done.
When Doubt Meet Jesus
Have you ever doubted God? You are not alone. Even one of Jesus’ disciples, Thomas, wrestled with his own doubts. Pastor Jace Hudson of Covenant of Grace Church in Copley, OH shows us in this sermon from John 20:24-31 that when we doubt, Jesus comes to us in our doubts with his wounds.
Death, Taxes, & John 10
Is there anything certain in life? In John 10:22-42, Jesus presents us with three glorious inevitabilities of the Christian life, leading us to take confidence in the Good Shepherd, who will accomplish everything he set out to do.
