Sermons from August 2025
15 Visible Love and Proven Integrity in Gospel Ministry 2 Corinthians 8:16–24
AM Service, 31 August 2025 Brothers and sisters, we live in a time when trust is in short supply. News of fraud, scandal, and betrayal has made people cynical—especially when it comes to money and religion. But long before our day, the apostle Paul understood that gospel ministry must be adorned not only with truth, but with visible trustworthiness. In 2 Corinthians 8, Paul has been urging the Corinthians to complete their promised offering for the poor saints in Jerusalem.…
Psalm 25 Life Your Soul to the Lord
PM Service, 24 August 2025 When was the last time you truly lifted up your soul to the Lord? Not merely whispered a quick prayer before a meal, nor offered polite words in a moment of crisis, but actually laid bare your heart — fears, regrets, sins, hopes — and entrusted it entirely to the faithful covenant God? Psalm 25 invites us into such an act of worship and trust. It is one of King David’s deeply personal prayers, yet…
14 The Grace of Giving – 2 Corinthians 8:1-15
AM Service, 24 August 2025 When we think of generosity, we often think of the wealthy giving to the needy, or of church fundraisers and stewardship campaigns. But in this passage—2 Corinthians 8—we encounter something far deeper, more beautiful, and more powerful than any of those worldly ideas. Here, the Apostle Paul speaks of giving as grace. Not merely charity. Not obligation. But grace—a visible outworking of the gospel of Jesus Christ in the hearts of His people. The background…
Psalm 24 – Who May Ascend the Hill Of The Lord?
PM Service, 17 August 2025 Have you ever stood at the gates of a great building—maybe a palace, a temple, or a fortress—and felt a sense of awe? Not everyone may pass through such gates. Only those who belong. Only those who are worthy. Psalm 24 invites us to such a scene. It is a psalm about access—about coming into the presence of the living God. But it’s also a psalm about ownership and authority, about who reigns over this…
13 Godly Grief and Gospel Joy – 2 Corinthians 7:2-16
AM Worship Service, 17 August 2025 We’ve all experienced the pain of broken relationships—especially those within the church. A word spoken in haste, a rebuke misunderstood, a silence that grows into distance. Few things weigh more heavily on a pastor’s heart—or a believer’s conscience—than strained fellowship among the people of God. The Apostle Paul knew that pain. His relationship with the Corinthian church had been wounded by conflict, confusion, and rebuke. But in this passage—2 Corinthians 7:2 to 16—we are…
Psalm 23 – The victory of our Shepherd King
PM Worship Service, 10 August 2025 Psalm 23 is one of the most beloved passages in all of Scripture. Its words have comforted the dying, steadied the anxious, and guided the faithful for centuries. But too often, it is read as nothing more than sentimental poetry—soothing, yes, but detached from the deeper, grittier realities of the Christian life. In truth, Psalm 23 is a psalm of warfare and triumph. It is not written from the safety of peaceful times, but…
12 Perfecting Holiness In The Fear Of God – 2 Corinthians 6:11-&:1
AM Sermon, 10 August 2025 One of the great dangers for Christians—especially in a world filled with distractions, pressures, and competing loyalties—is the slow drift toward compromise. We rarely wake up one morning and say, “Today, I will walk away from wholehearted devotion to Christ.” No—the drift is subtle. Our hearts grow comfortable with sin in small doses. We keep certain relationships, habits, or ambitions that quietly pull us away from undivided fellowship with God. This was happening in Corinth.…
Psalm 22:21b-31 The Triumph and Global Praise of Messiah
PM Worship Service, 03 August 2025 Psalm 22 began in darkness. The first cry we heard was not one of confidence, but of abandonment:“My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?” (v. 1)It was the cry of the righteous sufferer, overwhelmed, surrounded, and unheard — and ultimately fulfilled in the suffering of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. Verses 1–21a carried us through lament, mockery, weakness, and even the grave’s shadow. We heard the cry for help, but…
11 Do not Recieve the Grace of God in Vain – 2 Corinthians 6:1-10
AM Worship Service, 03 August 2025 Introduction: Do Not Waste Grace Brothers and sisters, the gospel of Jesus Christ is the most precious gift ever offered to humanity. It is a message of reconciliation from God to sinners—a message of grace freely given, not because we deserved it, but because Christ bore what we deserved. And yet, not everyone who hears this gospel receives it as they should. Some grow up hearing the Word but never repent. Others profess faith…
