Sermons

On a weekly basis our ministers deliver sermons based in God’s Word that seek to encourage, challenge, and edify the church. Check out the Waterview livestream to watch our services as they happen.

A Church Changed by Christ

This lesson begins a new series focused on the book of Colossians. While written to a local church, the focus of Paul seems to be on the Christ of the church. If you take Christ out of the church you are no longer the church! In this lesson, we examine Paul's greeting which reads like a prayer of thanksgiving for them (1:3-12). But in these words, Paul really documents how Christ changed them.

Spiritual Success

There’s nothing wrong with aiming for success. However, in our culture success can become an idol and that’s a problem! In this lesson we take a look at the familiar parable of the talents and we allow Jesus to remind us our real goal should be spiritual success.

The Essence of Christianity

If Christianity had a user agreement it would probably be Matt. 22:37-39. The very essence of Christianity is to love God and love others. In this lesson we analyze the context, consider the question asked by the lawyer and, of course, we consider the importance of the answer Jesus gives.

After the Resurrection

As the book of Acts begins, Luke reminds us Jesus wasn't raised to rest. In Acts 1:3-11 we are reminded of the things Jesus did after his resurrection. As for us, we are reminded a resurrected Lord requires a resurrected life. So the resurrection requires our response, which we observe in this lesson.

Hope in the Resurrection

In the beginning, God gave life and the story of Scripture ends with God giving life again. This is best understood in the hope of the resurrection. In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul devotes the whole chapter to this fundamental of Scripture. He makes important points, he answers important questions, but most importantly he tells us of the great hope we enjoy as we look forward to the resurrection from the dead.

Hope in the Cross

Man's greatest question is "How can I be right with God?" I'm thankful that Paul answers that question in one of the greatest passages in the Bible: Romans 3:21-26. In this lesson, we consider how we can be right with God, despite our sin, because of God's righteousness that is manifested in the hope of the cross!

Hope for the Future

"Hope for the Future" - Even if you don't know much about the Bible, you probably know about Jeremiah 29:11. This verse has exploded in popularity in the 21st century. The reason people like this verse is because it talks about the hope of God blessing people. The problem with that is it is often thought to mean something it really doesn't mean. In this lesson, we look at what this verse doesn't mean (how it's often taken out of context) and then we try to learn some practical lesson we can take away from it about hope for the future.
