Stonebridge Bible Church Sermons

What compels someone to spend their life making Christ known? In this message, we examine the heart of the Apostle Paul and the biblical principles that shaped his ministry. Beginning with Paul's deep burden for the lost in Romans 9, we then walk through key passages in 2 Corinthians to discover the convictions that fueled his faithfulness.

Whether you serve in ministry or simply desire to live more intentionally for Christ, this sermon offers a clear biblical vision for living on mission—remaining faithful to God's Word, keeping the glory of the gospel at the center, proclaiming Christ above ourselves, walking by faith rather than feelings, and living in a way that removes obstacles to the gospel.

Key Points:
1. Do not peddle the Word of God.
2. Never lose sight of the glory of the message.
3. Proclaim Christ and leave the results in His hands.
4. Walk by faith, not by "feel."
5. Determine to put no obstacle in anyone's way.

The parable of the Good Samaritan is one of Jesus' most familiar teachings, but its primary message reaches far deeper than simply encouraging kindness. In this sermon through Luke 10:25–37, we examine Jesus' encounter with the lawyer who asked, "What must I do to inherit eternal life?" and uncover how Christ exposes the danger of self-righteousness, self-deception, and trusting in our own goodness before God.

As Jesus reveals the true demands of God's law—to love the Lord with all your heart and to love your neighbor as yourself—we are confronted with a standard none of us can meet on our own. Yet rather than leaving us in despair, the passage points us to the only One who perfectly fulfilled the law and offers forgiveness, mercy, and new life through His grace.

Whether you've followed Christ for years or are still wrestling with life's biggest questions, this message is an invitation to examine your heart, abandon self-reliance, and rest in the finished work of Jesus Christ.

On this Father's Day, we turn to God's Word to examine His design for husbands and fathers. In a culture filled with competing voices and opinions about family, Scripture provides clear instruction for what it means to lead, love, and serve in a way that honors Christ.

From Ephesians, we explore the foundational role of being filled with the Spirit and how that shapes every aspect of a man's life—from his marriage to his parenting. This message highlights the daily commitments of a godly husband and father, calling men to yield to God's Spirit, love sacrificially, pursue holiness, care for their families, and faithfully raise their children in the truth.

Whether you're a father, husband, future husband, or simply seeking to understand God's design for the family, this sermon offers both encouragement and challenge as we look to Christ as the ultimate example of servant-hearted leadership and love.

As Jesus approaches the cross, He turns His attention to those who will believe in Him through the message of His disciples. In the closing verses of John 17, we are given the remarkable privilege of listening to Christ pray for His people—not just those gathered with Him in the upper room, but every believer who would follow after them.

This passage reveals the heart of our Savior and His desires for those He came to redeem. It reminds us of the profound relationship believers have with God through Christ, the love that has been set upon them, the hope of dwelling in His presence, and the future that awaits all who belong to Him. As Jesus prepares to accomplish the work of salvation, His prayer offers comfort, assurance, and confidence for every Christian.

Key Points:
1. Unity
2. Love
3. Presence
4. Glory

What does the Bible say about homosexuality? In this message, we examine what Scripture teaches about God's design for marriage, sexuality, and holiness. Looking at key passages throughout both the Old and New Testaments, we consider how God's Word addresses this topic and why it remains important for Christians to understand and respond to with both truth and love.

This sermon also addresses several common questions and objections surrounding homosexuality, while emphasizing the authority of Scripture, the call to repentance, and the hope of the gospel. Ultimately, this is not a message of condemnation but of redemption—pointing to the grace, forgiveness, cleansing, and transformation that are available through Jesus Christ for all who turn to Him in faith.
