Stonebridge Bible Church Sermons

In this sermon, we walk through John 17 and see what Christ is doing even now—interceding for His people. Throughout Scripture, prophets spoke for God, kings ruled under God, and priests stood before God on behalf of the people. In Jesus, all three find their fulfillment, and here we are given a glimpse into His role as our great High Priest.

As He prepares for the cross, Jesus lifts His eyes to the Father and prays. The hour has come—the moment all of history has been moving toward, the plan of redemption set before the foundation of the world now unfolding.

Key Points:1. His Posture of Humility2. His Prayer for Glory3. His Total Authority

Through this passage, we are invited to see Christ as the One who bears His people on His heart, accomplishes the Father’s will, and continues to intercede on our behalf.

Marriage matters because God designed it to display His wisdom, His grace, and His glory. In this message from 1 Peter 3:1–7, we are reminded that marriage is not merely a private relationship, but a sacred calling that carries eternal significance. Through conviction, submission, honor, and love, husbands and wives are called to reflect the heart of Christ in the way they serve one another.

This sermon explores God’s design for wives to cultivate a gentle, respectful, and hopeful spirit, and for husbands to lead with considerate care, protection, and honor toward their wives. As we follow God’s pattern for marriage, He is honored, homes are strengthened, and lives are impacted.

In this sermon, we examine the closing words of Jesus in John 16:16–33, spoken to disciples overwhelmed with sorrow, perplexity, and fear as His crucifixion draws near. Yet even in His own coming anguish, Christ lovingly strengthens His followers with hope. He reminds them that their sorrow will be transformed into lasting joy, that through His finished work they will have direct access to the Father in prayer, and that though trouble awaits them in this world, they can take courage because He has overcome it.

Jesus does not hide the reality of suffering, confusion, or opposition, but He anchors His people in something greater: His presence, His promises, and His victory. In Him, believers find joy no circumstance can steal, access to the Father through prayer, and peace that stands firm in the midst of tribulation.

Key Points:1. From Sorrow to Joy2. From Anguish to Access3. From Fear to Courage

In this sermon, we step into the final hours of Jesus’ life in John 16:12–15, where He comforts His disciples not by removing their circumstances, but by promising the coming of the Holy Spirit. As they face confusion, fear, and uncertainty, Jesus points them to the One who will guide them into truth and continue His work after His departure.

This sermon highlights the divine origin and authority of Scripture—reminding us that God has spoken clearly and faithfully through His Spirit. The same Spirit who guided the apostles into all truth, bringing to remembrance the words of Christ and revealing what was to come, is the One who ensured that what we have today is not human opinion, but God-breathed revelation.

In a world that constantly distorts and relativizes truth, this passage calls us back to the unchanging, trustworthy Word of God. The Spirit does not speak independently or introduce new revelation, but faithfully declares what is from the Father and the Son—glorifying Christ by making Him known through the truth.

Key Points:
1. The Spirit’s Identity
2. The Spirit’s Work

As we consider the role of the Holy Spirit in revealing and inspiring Scripture, we are invited to trust God’s Word fully, treasure it deeply, and submit to it as the ultimate authority for life and faith.

What does it mean to truly be secure in the love of God?

In Conquering Love, we look at Romans 8:38–39 and the confidence every believer can have in Christ. While many wrestle with doubt, fear, and the question of whether they can lose their salvation, this passage gives a clear and powerful answer.

Paul walks through a series of questions that confront our deepest insecurities—who can stand against us, who can accuse us, who can condemn us, and ultimately, who can separate us from the love of Christ. The answer, grounded in the gospel, is clear: no one.

Because God did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us, our assurance is not based on how we feel or what we experience, but on what Christ has accomplished. His death paid for sin, His resurrection secured victory over death, and even now He intercedes for His people.

This sermon reminds us that even in suffering, opposition, or seasons of doubt, believers are not defeated—they are more than conquerors through Him who loved them.

Nothing in all creation can separate those who are in Christ from the love of God.
