Topical Sermon Calendar - Volume 6

Topical Sermon Calendar: Volume 6

A 52-week roadmap through topics like the holiness of God, discipleship, Christian love, and spiritual formation.

Out With The Old

While the new year is typically about adding new things—new goals, new habits, and new routines—this series challenges us to let go. To let go of things that weigh us down, regrets that hold us back, and destructive mindsets that are grounded in lies instead of in God’s truth.

The Holiness of God

This four-week series for adults calls us to meditate deeply on the holiness of God. This series asks: What does it mean that God is holy? What does God’s holiness say about his character? How can we come close to a holy God?

Mourn Again

This series invites us into the Lenten season, a time of repentance and mourning over our sin. In mourning for our sin, we are reminded what it was like to come to Christ for the very first time. This Lent, we will remember what it means to encounter Christ with afresh, taking nothing for granted—neither our wrongdoings nor our salvation. We come face to face once more with our ungodly behavior, open our hearts to remorse, and receive forgiveness and our hope in Jesus, who is the Christ.

The Gift of Easter

This Easter sermon is anchored in Paul’s words about the wages of sin and helps us understand how Christ’s life, death, and resurrection have provided the incomprehensible gift that he purchased and prepared for us.

You Will Be My Witnesses

This four-week series examines the idea of being witnesses for Christ. Through understanding the text of Acts 1 we see the call for all believers to witness and testify about the good news of Christ, the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, witness as living life every day, and the importance of the corporate witness of the church to the world.

Summer Vactation

This four-week series takes summer vacation themes and asks what we might learn about God from them. We will look at nature, frustrating vacation moments, and habits that show us more of God and how we are formed in his image.

Kids These Days: Discipling the Next Generation

This sermon series seeks to help adults better understand what challenges children and youth are facing today in an effort to encourage greater empathy and equip adults for greater discipleship of the next generation. Each week we will look at a unique challenge “kids these days” are facing, not just as individuals but as Christians, too.

The Patterns of Jesus

This four-part series challenges us to follow the patterns of Jesus. To do so, we must learn to adopt the spiritual disciplines Jesus practiced. Each week focuses on a different discipline from the life of Jesus.

Questions We're Afraid to Ask

This four-week series challenges us to face some of the questions we’re afraid to ask God, each other, and ourselves.

Guest Speaker

You Belong

This four-week series looks at the great invitation of the gospel: to join the household of faith and become a child of God. Over the course of this series, congregants will be inspired not only to go deeper into their relationship with God but also to go and proclaim the good news to others.

In Good Faith

This series calls Christians to relate to neighbors, strangers, and enemies alike with kindness, sincerity, and Christian love. Showing good faith is a humble but powerful way to live out our faith.

Hunger and Thirst

In anticipation of the Christmas season of feasting, this four-week series examines the concept of food in relationship to the Christian walk. The Bible teaches us to hunger after the things of God and taste and see that God is good. Through examining key texts, we can see the relationship between physical nourishment and spiritual nourishment. Jesus is the Bread of Life, and we partake with others in Christian community and should be aware of false teaching (fake food) that provide no growth or nourishment.

Guest Speaker

O Come Let Us Adore Him

This Christmas series looks at prophetic songs of worship and adoration of Christ in the Old Testament, and songs and prayers sung in the wake of the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies in the New Testament.
