You Can Trust Jesus (Matthew 26:57-68)

While some people mock Christianity, there are others who initially reject its truths but are willing to think about them. These people struggle to believe in Jesus because they have accepted the lies that Satan has been preaching in our culture for a long time. As Christians, we can affirm is that Jesus is real. He demonstrated by his actions, by his teaching, that he is trustworthy. Today’s sermon encourages us that even though the world tells us the opposite, You Can Trust Jesus. (Matthew 26:57-68)

[02/13/2022 PM] The Gospel of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark. (Mark 8:31)

Speaker: Pastor Matthew Walker

Scripture: Mark 8:31

 

The first eight chapters of The Gospel of Jesus According to Mark answered the question “Who is Jesus?” by introducing the Lord in various ways. Peter’s confession is the high-water mark as he revealed his belief that Jesus is the Messiah promised in the Old Testament. This confession forms the hinge of the Gospel as Jesus transitions to teaching His disciples about His coming death and resurrection.

[02/13/2022 AM] When Satan Stomps On a Church (Acts 8:1-8)

Speaker: Pastor Matthew Walker

Scripture: Acts 8:1-8

Modern life, with all of its innovations and luxuries, has blinded us to the reality that life itself is tenuous. In the Middle Ages, the average life expectancy was somewhere in the mid-40s, provided one actually survived infancy and childhood. Today, we expect to live into our 80’s, and we are surprised when people don’t live that long. Christians have always understood the fragility of life, particularly because of Satanic persecution. The early church suffered in ways that we cannot comprehend.

[02/06/2022 PM] The Gospel of Jesus According to Mark (Mark 1:1)

Speaker: Pastor Matthew Walker

Series: How to Study the Bible Effectively 

 

Studying the Bible is one of the most important things - but can also be one of the most frustrating things - that Christians do. You know that it is important to learn, but God’s Word is so vast and sometimes very complicated. Where should one begin? Tonight’s sermon takes us to the place where many new believers start their journey of faith. The Gospel of Jesus According to Mark. (Mark 1:1)

[02/06/2022 AM] When Satan Attacks Our Resolve (Acts 6:9-7:60)

Speaker: Pastor Matthew Walker

Scripture: Acts 6:9-7:60

One of the concerns that many theologians have expressed recently is their belief that Christians in America are spiritually weak. The concern is that real persecution would result in the church crumbling under the burden of suffering. However, Scripture reveals that Christians have always risen to meet such a crisis with great resolve. This is not because they are so strong, but because they are Spirit-filled. A great example of this is Stephen, who is considered to be the first martyr for Jesus. He showed us how to respond

[1/30/2022 PM] A Fresh Look at the Free Gift of Eternal Life (Romans 6:20-23)

Speaker: Joseph Jo

Scripture: Romans 6:20-23

 

The Romans Road to Salvation has been a helpful system to succinctly present the gospel message. While there is nothing wrong with using this system, it is also important to understand the meaning of each verse used before using it. We will give a fresh look at Romans 6:23 (which is at the core of the RR system and often misunderstood by many) to better grasp what it truly means to receive eternal life in Christ.

Betrayed and Deserted: What Jesus Teaches Us About Dealing with Relationship Disasters (Matthew 26:47-56)

Not every friendship is guaranteed to last. We have all experienced those times when friendships seem to fail. When it is a casual friend, it can be discomforting. But it is life-changing when a close friend walks away from us. In the final hours of Jesus’s life, His reaction to Judas and the other disciples helps us learn how to properly handle friendship failures.

[2022 Missions Conference] The Priority of Preaching (Acts 2)

2020 Missions Conference

Speaker: Bud Steadman

 

[1/9/2022 PM] Understanding the Prophecy of the Old Testament (Obadiah 1:1-21)

Speaker: Matthew Walker

Scripture: Obadiah 1:1-21

One of the most difficult sections of the Bible to read is the section of Old Testament Prophecy. In fact, much of the material in this section is horribly misunderstood. Even the role of the OT prophet is misunderstood. This misunderstanding hinders our ability to comprehend their words and apply them into the context of our modern day.

[1/9/2022 AM] When Satan Attacks Our Primary Purpose (Acts 6:1-7)

Speaker: Pastor Matthew Walker

Scripture: Acts 6:1-7

The main job of a pastor is to faithfully preach God’s word. In 2 Timothy 4:2, the Apostle Paul commanded his son-in-the-faith Timothy to “preach the word!” Unfortunately, some pastors and some churches do not see the importance of this. Other jobs, some of them quite important and necessary, replace the most important task of preaching. Let us never let that happen at College Park.
