Expository Sermon Calendar: Volume 2

A 52-week roadmap through Bible books and passages including Hebrews, Malachi, Matthew, Romans, and more.

Fresh Faith: The Book of Malachi

This four-week series teaches us to love the things that God loves. Through the words of the prophet Malachi, we learn God’s love for his people, his name, his covenant, and his messenger. These same passions are to be present in the lives of his people today.

Hebrews: The Journey Of Faith

This eight-week series charts a course through the book of Hebrews, describing the supremacy of Christ as God’s revelation, high priest, sacrifice, and giver of faith. Rather than looking to other things, people, or feelings to bring us meaning and redemption, we must look to Jesus.

Resurrection Sunday: From Death To Life

This one-week message focuses on what the resurrection means for us today, and the hope it brings for everyone who believes. The grave is defeated!

Flashback: Remembering the Work of the Cross

This six-week series through Romans 12 and 13 examines Paul’s command for us to be a living sacrifice and to live our lives in light of what God has done for us through Christ. In each message we will “flash back” to the life of Jesus to see how we are to live in the present—no longer being conformed to the world but instead being transformed into the likeness of Jesus.

Guest Speaker

God And Justice

These days, the secular world is deeply interested in the topic of justice. All too often, however, God’s people can lag behind. And yet, we have the greatest resource on the topic of justice: God’s Word. God is just and justice matters to God. This four-week series focuses on how God addresses oppression, judges with fairness, and emboldens the believer to advocate for the vulnerable in an unjust world. We must seek justice in the lives of others because our God is a justice-seeking God, and he commands us to advocate for those who are made in his image.

God And Country

Are we seeking the kingdom of God or the kingdom of the United States of America? With elaborate patriotic worship services and flags flying, it can become confusing to discern which kingdom we are truly living for. This one-week adult message helps the believer understand that it takes humility, honesty, and a heart turned toward God to maintain a healthy perspective of our earthly purposes. This message can be used immediately following the “God and Justice” series and/or prior to Independence Day.

Sermon On The Mount: A Kingdom Upside Down

This seven-week series will encourage the Christian to go beyond the superficial and search deep into their heart to see themselves as Christ sees them. Christ’s bold Sermon on the Mount challenged his hearers to understand that God was seeking internal righteousness from them, not just external acts. This is only possible through God’s work to bring new life in us.

Guest Speaker

The King: The Rise and Fall of Solomon

This four-week series covers the life of Solomon, including his rise to kingship over Israel and his horrible demise. His story reminds us of God’s requirement of loyalty in heart. While Solomon began his kingship full of God’s great blessings, the king’s disobedient choices eventually revealed that God is true to his word to punish those who serve idols.

Disciple: Hope in the Book of Mark

Mark was written to a group of Roman Christians who were suffering under persecution. This eight-part series looks at the Gospel of Mark through the lens of living as a disciple of Christ in a world filled with persecution and crisis. Yet, even in such a world, the hope found in Jesus brings encouragement and peace to the believer.

Advent: A Season of Preparation

Advent is a time of preparation for an encounter with the God who came in the flesh. In a similar way, liturgy builds toward and prepares the congregation for the proclamation of the Word. As we prepare for Christmas, we eagerly celebrate the coming king, while looking forward to his soon return. This four-week Advent series references the riches of a traditional Advent liturgy and incorporates important elements of worship into the series itself.
