Expository Sermon Calendar - Volume 3

Expository Sermon Calendar: Volume 3

A 52-week roadmap through Bible books and passages including Acts, Exodus, 2 Peter, and more.

Second Chances

This stand-alone sermon for the New Year grounds the hearers in the firmest footing for the future: the grace of God that brings salvation to everyone and gives us the ability to grow in faith and holiness.

New Mercies

This four-week series explores the difficulties of change in the Christian life. Through understanding procrastination, sanctification, and the power of cultivating spiritual habits, we see the life-giving process of change in the Christian life.

Heart For The House

This two-week series can be used together or as two independent messages. Both messages are meant to help the congregation move forward together in vision or on a mission to raise funds for the church.

Lent: The Power of the Gospel

This six-week series for Ash Wednesday and the Sundays in Lent celebrates the power of the gospel by lifting up some of the key ways Jesus demonstrated his power during his lifetime. By healing, forgiving, raising a child from the dead, walking on water, and exorcising a demon, Jesus declares himself the Son of God and prepares us to witness with fresh eyes his greatest power on Easter morning: his power over life and death for all time and all people. Our own power to believe and thrive in faith grows as we tap into the power he repeatedly demonstrates.

Resurrection Sunday

Christ the Lord is risen! Christ’s death and resurrection has freed us from sin and condemnation, and we are called in this freedom to live in the light of his resurrection glory.

Proclaim: The Gospel Has Come

This seven-week series examines seven sermons in the book of Acts. What did the early church’s first proclamations of Jesus look like? We will discover in them a consistent message of sin, grace, and salvation in the name of Jesus.

Ten: A Look at God's Unwavering Commands

This ten-week series looks at the Ten Commandments that God has given to all who love him. As we look each week at a different commandment, we see how there is a corresponding passage in the New Testament; this will remind us that God’s way of living for us is still valid and relevant today.

Grow In Grace: A Study of 2 Peter

The body of Christ, the church, must be diligent in recognizing false teachers and doctrine while trusting the Scriptures and recognizing true ministers of the Word. By learning to recognize false teachers, Christians will also be able to identify those who teach truth and by living into that truth they can grow in the grace of God and Christian virtue.

Help My Unbelief: Dealing With Doubt

This four-week series examines doubt in the life of a Christian. The experiences of biblical characters show us that doubt pushes believers toward a deeper understanding of faith. God desires that we walk with him in our seasons of doubt.

Guest Speaker

Exile: The Power of Repentance

Returning to God in worship can be challenging. The weight of having been absent and the struggle to make sure it is done right is palpable. When the Hebrew people returned from exile, they had to relearn how to worship God as he expected. This five-week series will take passages from the postexilic period that show how God led his people back to the worship of the one true God.

Guest Speaker

Advent

This four-week series will focus on how the arrival of Jesus answers our deepest longings in life: our longing for Jesus to come anew into our lives (hope); his arrival in Bethlehem answering our longing for God to move in our lives (joy); our longing for a Savior (peace); and finally, the return of Jesus to make all things new (love). We will see how the longings themselves are God’s gifts to us. The four-week series will call us to celebrate Jesus’s arrival and eventual return by considering the many ways he has fulfilled our deepest needs of peace, joy, hope, and love.

Looking Back, Looking Forward

This one-week, end-of-the-year series leads us to reflect on all that God has done over the last twelve months. We will remember God’s work in our community, as well as how we have responded to him in baptism, discipleship, and more.
