A Christ-Centered Church
Sermons by Stephen Weaver
This Sunday, we continue our series in the gospel of Matthew, looking at chapter 4 verses 12-17. In this passage we see Jesus, again our example, now becoming more public in His teaching and evangelism. Jesus hears about John’s arrest and then moves on to Galilee due to several reasons which I will explain on…
This Sunday, on our communion Sunday, we continue our series in the gospel of Matthew, looking at chapter 3 verses 13-17. In this passage we see Jesus come on the scene in His first public appearing, and His first time meeting, John the Baptist. It’s interesting that the text makes clear that Jesus comes to John for…
This Sunday we continue our series in the gospel of Matthew, looking at chapter 3 verses 7-12. In this passage we find that some Pharisees and Sadducees come to John the Baptist’s baptism, presumedly to be baptized! Here John sees their hypocrisy and fake faith and calls them out on it. He had to call…
This Sunday we continue our series in the gospel of Matthew, where we now come to chapter 3 verses 1-6. In this passage we are introduced to John the Baptist who is unusual, preaching and baptizing in the wilderness down by the river Jordan. Everything about him is unique: his lifestyle, his birth, his calling,…
This Sunday we return (it has been a while) to our series in the gospel of Matthew. We preached through the Sermon on the Mount several years ago and then did a couple of Christmas messages on chapter 1 and part of chapter 2 back in 2023. So now we return to chapter 2 of…
This Sunday we are finishing our series in the book of 1 Samuel. This week we are in chapter 31. In this short chapter, we have the tragic end of Saul who exemplifies where wrong choices lead in a person’s life. Less than 24 hours later, Samuel’s haunting words come true as Saul, his family…
This Sunday we continue and are nearly finishing up our series in the book of 1 Samuel. This week we are in chapter 30. Here in this chapter, we have David and his men returning to Ziklag after God delivered them, so they didn’t have to fight against their own countrymen. To their horror Ziklag…
This Sunday we return to our series in the book of 1 Samuel. This week we are studying chapter 28 verses 3-25. Here we have a panicked Saul because the Philistines have come up against him and have now advanced pretty far north (encamped at Shunem, just SE of the Sea of Galilee) into Israelite territory.…
This Sunday is the day after Independence Day, our country’s 250th birthday so we will do a message in honor of our country. I thought this would be a great opportunity to remember why we are privileged to be born in, and to be a part of, this great country. Our text is Ezekiel 22:25-31. In…
This Sunday we continue our series in the book of 1 Samuel. This week we are studying chapter 27 and chapter 29. Here we have David again in sort of a panic mode (due to discouragement), or is it really that? Saul, of course still hasn’t really changed and is still after David to kill…
