Sermons by Matt Round (Page 19)
The Once & Future King
As we move through the summer, we will encounter several different kinds of Psalms. We began with Psalm 1, which is a wisdom Psalm. Last week, we studied Psalm 2 which is a messianic Psalm. These Psalms have meaning and context in the time that they were written, but they ultimately point to Jesus Christ for their fulfillment. This week we will look at another messianic…
Who is God & What is Man?
When we studied Psalm 19, we were confronted with the fact that God has revealed to us what He is like. His creation speaks to His power and glory, and His word reveals His character, His ways, and His plan of redemption through Jesus Christ. This week, we are going to work through Psalm 8. When we understand God, even in the limited way that our finite minds can…
The Testimony of God
We hope that as you worship with us you are encouraged in your faith, challenged in your walk, and ministered to by the Body of Christ. As we continue our summer series on the Psalms, we are going to be looking at another “wisdom” Psalm. Psalm 19 is famous for its content as well as for its beauty. And that is such an appropriate thing since it highlights the wonder…
Which Way?
We have come to the end of another school year, and we have come to the end of our study in the Book of Colossians. For the next few months, we will be working through the Psalms on Sunday mornings. As we study the praise songs of God’s people, we are going to be reminded of why they are so relevant, instructive, and comforting even today. The Psalms remind us that…
The Gospel as a Group Effort
It is a wonderful thing when the body of Christ comes together. It’s a reminder that God brings people who have every reason to be separated together through the work of the Spirit. It is powerful to see people bring their various gifts and talents together for the building up of the body. Those blessings of doing ministry together are exactly how Paul closes his…
The Call to Prayer & Proclaim
As we move into the last chapter of Colossians, we are going to see Paul revisit a topic that he brought up earlier in the letter. In Colossians 1, Paul told the believers in Colossae that he was praying for them, and that his highest hopes were for their spiritual growth. Now, as he closes the letter, he will ask for their prayers on his behalf. As we read his request,…
Work to the Glory of God
Over the last month or so, we have looked at God’s design for the family, and how our obedience is an act of worship. This week we move from the home into the workplace. Paul addresses bondservants and masters in Colossians 3:22-4:1. While the social construct is very different, there is great value in thinking through our biblical response to authority. Each of us…
Family for the Glory of God: Part 5 – Divorce & Singleness
We are moving through the Book of Colossians, and we have come to the portion of chapter 3 that deals with families. Over the last 4 weeks we have looked at the ways in which we honor God as wives, husbands, children, and parents. We have seen that in all of these things our primary response is…
Family for the Glory of God: Part 4 – PARENTS
Over the last two weeks, we have enjoyed the time that we spent reflecting on the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ. His sinless life and obedience in death made salvation possible for all those who place their faith in Him. This week we will move back into the book of Colossians, and continue…
The Hope of the Resurrection
This is the time of year when we celebrate the focal point of all human history. That might sound like an overstatement, but I assure that it isn’t. The events of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ stand as the most significant to ever occur. Mankind lives in slavery to sin and death, and we are powerless to free ourselves. This week, we celebrate the…
The Hope of Restoration
The tone of our service today, from the songs that we sing together to the content of the message, is designed to be reflective. There is great joy surrounding this time of year, and that is absolutely appropriate. However, on this day we remember that sin had a high cost. Each one of us has rebelled against the Holy God who create us. And the right consequence of that…
A Hopeful Hosanna
We are so glad that you are worshiping with us today. This week is a special time of preparation. As we look forward to celebrating the resurrection of Christ, it’s essential that we understand who and what we are celebrating. Roughly two thousand years ago, Jesus Christ rode into Jerusalem in what we know as the triumphal entry. The crowds cheered Him, the…
