A sermon from Zach Higgins. No text available.
Genuine Love (Romans 12:9-10)
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. We have been talking about how to live life on the altar. Romans 12:1 teaches that because of the mercies of God we are to become living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to him. In Romans 12:2 we learned that we must not allow our thoughts and actions to be conformed to this world but to […]
REWIND: The Encouragement To Forgive (Philemon)
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. In our previous lesson we looked at a man named Philemon who had a runaway slave named Onesimus. Paul’s message to Philemon was the need for forgiveness. But the way Paul speaks to the need for reconciliation and forgiveness was not through command or obligation but out of love. In this lesson we are going […]
REWIND: The Need For Forgiveness (Philemon)
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. The book of Philemon is a personal letter written to a slave owner named Philemon who has a runaway slave named Onesimus, whom Paul is sending back to Philemon. Because this is the purpose of the book, Philemon is an often skipped book. A letter to a slave owner about a runaway slave. Does this […]

A sermon from Zach Higgins. No text available.
Humble Service (Romans 12:3-8)
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. The first word in Romans 12:3 is the word “for.” This tells us that we are continuing the discussion that began in Romans 12:1-2. Remember that in Romans 12:2 that we were told that being living sacrifices means that we must not be conformed to this world but transformed by the renewing of our minds […]

Be Transformed (Romans 12:2)
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. We kicked off our new series Life on the Altar by carefully looking at Romans 12:1 where Paul urges us to look at the mercies of God so that we will be living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to him. But how are we to become a living sacrifice? What does it look like to live […]

2 Chronicles 25, When Faith Goes Missing
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. I want to begin our study by reading the first two verses of 2 Chronicles 25. You will read that Amaziah was 25 years old when he began to reign. He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but not wholeheartedly. At the very beginning of the account of Amaziah’s reign, the […]
A Living Sacrifice (Romans 12:1)
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. The Basis We have been looking at eleven chapters in Romans over the past few months. But it is important to notice that Paul does not start in chapter 12. We must know the first eleven chapters to appreciate what Paul is going to tell us that we must do. So how should we sum […]
Romans 11, The Inclusion of the Gospel
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. The message of Romans 9-11 is that the mercy of God is here. The mercy of God is available to all who will receive it. In Romans 9 we observed Paul asking us to consider what we are doing with God’s mercy. Is God’s mercy moving us to serve him or to resist him? In […]
Ruled By Power (Judges 3)
A sermon from Zach Higgins. No text available.
Romans 10, The Hearing of the Gospel
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. Have you ever considered something to be too hard to do so that you do not even try to do it? There have been things that I have looked at, maybe did a little research on it, and then decided that it was too hard for me to do. This has been particularly true when […]
2 Chronicles 21-24, The Power of Influence
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. There is great power in influence. We even have a term today for a special group of people that we call influencers. An influencer is someone that people listen to and, because of that, are able to use their good will to encourage people to do or not do things. Businesses understand the power of […]
Romans 9:30-10:4, The Righteousness of the Gospel
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. In our last lesson we looked at the mercy of the gospel. God’s mercy generates two outcomes: either people will respond to his mercy and be saved or people will reject his mercy and remain lost. God’s patient mercy brought about Pharaoh’s hardening of his heart. Further, God’s patient mercy toward Israel only brought about […]
Ruled By Our Own Eyes (Judges 1-3)
A sermon from Zach Higgins. No text available.
Romans 9, The Mercy of the Gospel
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. In our study of Romans we now come to Romans 9-11. These three chapters are considered the more difficult parts of this book. Volumes have been written about the meaning of these chapters. But are these chapters just deep theology and hard teachings that are reserved for intellectual academic studies? I think sometimes we can […]
Romans 8:31-39, The Love of the Gospel
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. “What then shall we say to these things?” (Romans 8:31). Romans 8 is a glorious chapter that has wrestled with the conflict between being children of God and experiencing suffering. The defining mark of the Christian is being led by the Spirit and no longer being led by the flesh. If we live according to […]
More In Readiness (1 Thessalonians 5:1-11)
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. Every year we are told to begin preparations because we live in south Florida. When June 1 rolls around we are told that we need to stock up on hurricane supplies. We need to have extra water on hand. We need to make sure we have batteries for flashlights and radios. Make sure your generator […]
Jonah: A Prophet Without Love

More In Future Hope (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. The apostle Paul is writing to Christians to encourage their faith to grow further and deeper. While the Christians in Thessalonica are doing well, he is urging them to excel still more (1 Thessalonians 4:1). We have noticed that Paul is looking at areas in the Christian life that might be easily overlooked when trying […]
Romans 8:17-30, The Glory of the Gospel
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. We left off in Romans 8 with a powerful proclamation about who we are in Christ. If we are living according to the Spirit, putting to death the deeds of the flesh, then the Spirit testifies that we are sons of God (cf. Romans 8:12-16). We have received the spirit of adoption so that we […]
More In Love (1 Thessalonians 4:9-12)
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. We are in a series in which we are looking at how we have been called to more. In 1 Thessalonians 4:1 that these Christians in Thessalonica know how to walk and are living in a way that is pleasing to the Lord. But Paul instructs them to excel even more in being pleasing to […]

More In Holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:3-8)
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. Paul is writing to the Thessalonian Christians asking them and urging them to excel even more in living a life that is pleasing to God. Paul does not want these Christians to become spiritually stagnant. Paul does not want these Christians to experience a spiritual regression. He urges them to grow and to keep on […]
Romans 8:12-17, Adopted Through the Gospel
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. We are in Romans 8 where Paul is teaching us how we can have the good life, the transformed life, because there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (cf. Romans 8:1). We have been set free from the law of sin and death and have been enabled to obey Christ. We […]
Excel Even More (1 Thessalonians 4:1-2)
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. There has never been a sport in which a successful athlete has ever said that he or she does not need to practice any longer. Michael Jordan is considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Yet he did not proclaim that he is such a great player that he did not need […]
Crumbs from the Master’s Table
A sermon from Zach Higgins. No text available.
Romans 8:5-11, The Mind of the Gospel
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. Romans 7 has proclaimed an important truth which is summarized in Romans 8:2. You have been set free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. The glorious words of hope are proclaimed in Romans 8:1. “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” But the message of […]
Job 42, Vindication After Suffering
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. Job 42 might be the most confusing part of the book. You will notice that Job 42:10 reveals that the Lord restored the fortunes of Job and the Lord gave him twice as much as he had before. What are we supposed to make of this ending? Is the message that, after your trials, everything […]
Job 40-41, Seeing God’s Sovereignty When Suffering
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. The book of Job has now come to its conclusion where the Lord is now giving the final word about how he runs the world and the reason for Job’s suffering.

Job 38-39, The Humility to See God When Suffering
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. The book of Job reveals everyone’s opinions about the reason for suffering and how God runs the world. Job has challenged that God has not treated him fairly. He does not think that God has not been right toward him because Job has been blameless and upright. Job’s friends have an opinion that Job must […]
Romans 7, The Freedom of the Gospel
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. We have taken a break in our study of the gospel through the lens of the book of Romans. But we are returning to this wonderful book and we are going to see in Romans 7-8 the good life that God has promised to those who belong to Christ Jesus. Romans 7 is considered a […]
Job 36-37, God Is Not Powerless When Suffering
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. Job has said many words that need to be addressed. Elihu is in the process of challenging Job on the words Job has said against God. Elihu has been defending God from what Job has said during the time of this trial. Elihu is speaking on God’s behalf (Job 36:2). Further, Elihu declares that he […]
Encountering Grace (Luke 10:25-37)
A sermon from Zach Higgins. No text available.
Job 35, God Is Not Uncaring When Suffering
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. Does God care when we are suffering? Does it matter to God when are going through severe trials? When we are going through trials we can be tempted to wonder if God cares about what we are experiencing. We can look around and think that God simply has no concern about what is happening to […]
2 Chronicles 19-20, The Battle Is The Lord’s… Remember?
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. Jehoshaphat was king over the nation of Judah. He walked in the footsteps of David, seeking the Lord and being his commands. But his association with Ahab, the king of Israel, has caused him to compromise. His faithfulness to the Lord was negatively impacted because he wanted to be connected to Ahab. Jehoshaphat was condemned […]
Job 34, God Is Not Unjust When Suffering
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. Job has said many words that need to be addressed. In Job 32-33 Elihu responds to Job who has contended that God was silent throughout his suffering. God is not silent in suffering but is speaking through suffering. Trials are protective and corrective, not punitive, transforming us and moving us closer to the image of […]
2 Chronicles 17-18, Strong Start, Subtle Drift
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. Have you ever had a strong start at doing something, only to give out a little bit later? Maybe you started a project and you were excited to accomplish the task. But then the project, for whatever reason, remains unfinished. Maybe you started something but then found yourself in over your head. So you stopped […]
Job 32-33, God Is Not Silent When Suffering
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. For thirty-one chapters we have read about a lot of questions about suffering and the way God runs the world. The friends of Job have insisted that the way God runs the world is that the wicked suffer and the righteous do not suffering. Therefore, Job must have sinned. However, we know this is wrong […]

Lamentations 5, Restoration After Grief
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. We are going to look at the final lament of this book. Please open your copies of God’s word to Lamentations 5. As you are turning to the final lamentation, I want to remind of us the grief journey Jeremiah has taken his people through. Lamentations 1 encouraged the people to honestly express to the […]
Job 28, Wisdom When Suffering
A sermon from Brent Kercheville. There is a section in the book of Job in which we see Job moving away from arguing with his friends. We might falsely over summarize the book and think that the middle is just Job and his friends arguing with each other. But the discourses with each other end in chapter 27. Each of […]
