Sermons in History

 

The Last Words of David

by David Robinson

August 30, 2020 | 2 Samuel 23:1-7

As David sums up his life in these final words, he doesn’t want to be known as the mighty warrior or the great king, he wants to be remembered as the sweet psalmist.

 

Those Who Are Peaceable and Faithful

by David Robinson

August 9, 2020 | 2 Samuel 19:41-20:26

When the tribes of Israel meet at Gilgal, there is not peace and covenant renewal as with Samuel’s meeting but rather rivalries and dissension. David’s silence allows critical divisions to form.

 

He Comes with Good News

What Do You See?

by David Robinson

I Know My Redeemer Lives

by Joe Boot

April 12, 2020

The Covid-19 crisis is a reminder of how the world lives in the fear of death and in the grip of uncertainty. We who do not fear death or panic in the face of uncertainty must be prepared to display our certain hope wherever and whenever it is needed.

 

Simeon’s and Anna’s Perspective

by Joe Boot

December 15, 2019 | Luke 2:22-38

There is a sense of anticipation for Simeon and Anna as they beheld the infant Christ on his day of dedication in the temple because he was the fulfillment of God's promise both to the world and to them.

 

Mary’s Perspective

by David Robinson

December 8, 2019 | Luke 1:26-56

This sermon considers the Gospel account of the Annunciation and the Magnificat. Luke’s account presents God’s Word to Mary and her response. God’s Word and God’s call has come to each one of us, just as it came to Mary. Each one of us must respond, just as Mary did. She shows us how to respond: we surrender to God’s calling and we glorify him and rejoice in him.

 

Zechariah’s Perspective

by David Robinson

December 1, 2019 | Luke 1:5-25, 57-80

As a priest in the temple; the father of John the Baptist; the husband of Elizabeth, a relative of Mary; and, like Mary, also a recipient of a visit by the angel Gabriel; Zechariah was given a very unique perspective on the coming of the Messiah.

 

The Church of Christ and the Church of Antichrist

The way in which God was with David when he fled from Saul and subsequently escaped from Achish, the king of Gath, is the same way he is with us and working through his people today.
