Sermon Guides

Sermon guide for December 14, 2025. Revelation 12:7–12 pulls back the curtain to show that Christ’s victory has decisively stripped Satan of his power to accuse God’s people before heaven’s throne. The dragon has been cast down—defeated, dethroned, and disarmed.

Sermon guide for December 7, 2025. Revelation 12:1–6 pulls back the curtain on the Christmas story to show us that God’s purposes are unstoppable, even in the face of intense spiritual opposition. The birth of Jesus was not just a historical event—it was a cosmic victory over evil. God protected the Woman and her Son from the Dragon, ensuring that his redemptive plan would be accomplished. The same God continues to protect and nourish his church today.

Sermon Guide for November 30, 2025. We often assume we know who deserves God’s favor—and who doesn’t. Jonah shows us how easy it is to get it wrong. God’s grace is deeper, wider, and more surprising than we imagine. Jonah reminds us that our response to God’s grace, both when it comes to us and others, reveals the state of our hearts.

This December, we’re diving into “An Apocalyptic Christmas Story”—a three-week sermon series through Revelation 12 that reveals the cosmic battle behind the birth of Jesus.

This sermon explores Jonah’s story as a picture of resisting God’s call. Like Jonah, we often flee from difficult assignments, but God uses consequences, not merely to punish, but to redirect, rescue, and restore. Through storms and challenges, God invites obedience, showing that his mercy and sovereignty guide us. Christ’s sacrifice reverses our disobedience, enabling us to respond faithfully to God’s calls without fear.

Obadiah is the shortest book in the Old Testament, but it carries one of the Bible's biggest messages: God opposes pride. When the nation of Edom built their fortresses high in the mountains and sneered down at their defeated relatives (Israel), they became consumed by arrogance and self-sufficiency. God’s message to them was clear: the higher you soar like an eagle, the harder and faster you will fall.
