Stonebridge Bible Church Sermons

What moves someone from secret belief to courageous devotion? In John 19:31–42, the death and burial of Jesus bring Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea out of the shadows. This message explores fulfilled prophecy, Jesus as our Passover Lamb, and the assurance of His finished work. As we follow the account from the pierced side to the garden tomb, we’re invited to trust the Savior who paid our debt, cleanses our sin, and brings us to God.

When Jesus declared, “It is finished,” He proclaimed the completion of His saving work. In this message from John 19:30, we examine how Christ's sacrifice fully satisfied the penalty for sin, fulfilled God's promises, and secured eternal redemption. Because of His finished work, believers can live in freedom, assurance, and victory over death.

God blesses His people for a greater purpose: that His name would be known and worshiped among all nations. In this sermon from Psalm 67, we reflect on God's faithfulness, our responsibility to steward His blessings, and the mission of the church as Stonebridge celebrates its first Sunday in our new facility.

Jesus’ death was no accident. The details of His crucifixion unfolded according to God’s plan and fulfilled His Word.
In this episode, we examine John 19:19–29 alongside Psalm 22 to see Jesus as King, High Priest, loving Son, and suffering Savior. Through the dividing of His garments, His care for His mother, and His thirst, we discover the depth of His love and the sacrifice He offered for sinners.
Listen as we consider how the cross strengthens our confidence in Scripture and calls us to respond to Jesus with faith and a life turned from sin.

In this sermon, we come to the cross - the climax of history and the heart of the Christian faith. Jesus willingly goes to Golgotha as our substitute, bearing the penalty of sin and accomplishing the work of salvation on behalf of sinners.

As Jesus hangs on the cross in agony and shame, we see the heart of God displayed in His prayer, “Father, forgive them.” Even one of the criminals who had mocked Him begins to see the truth: he recognizes his guilt, acknowledges that he deserves judgment, and looks to Jesus as his only Savior.

The thief has nothing to offer - no good works to perform and no opportunity to make up for his past. He simply comes to Christ in humble, dependent faith, and Jesus promises him, “Today you will be with Me in paradise.” His story is a powerful picture of the gospel: salvation is entirely by grace, and that grace is offered to sinners who recognize their need and cling to Christ alone.
