First Presbyterian Church (PCA) Sermons

Martin Luther called this section of 1 Peter a difficult but wonderful text. How can we see Christ and His victorious work of salvation in this challenging passage of Scripture?

What is the good life?

What is life like when our eyes are closed to the resurrection of Jesus? What happens when Jesus opens our eyes and how does he do it?

We are celebrating Advent in Revelation 12. This chapter describes the birth of Jesus in light of a cosmic battle between God's people and the great red dragon who is none other than Satan himself.

Rev. Martin Antoon is the RUF campus minister at SCAD. He preaches to us from Luke 10:25-37 about the Good Samaritan.

Elijah is disappointed, discouraged, and depressed, yet the Lord meets him and reveals his abounding grace

Elijah experiences both the triumph and trials of faith. How does God reveal His grace on the mountaintop and in the valley?

Who is the one true and living God? The God who answers by fire!

Elijah returns to the land of Israel in order to confront Ahab. In this section of Elijah's life we learn about how to serve God faithfully in a wicked culture. 1. Obey God even when He calls you into danger. 2. Fear God even when you are...

In dark times, God seeks to strengthen our faith in His Word. As Elijah goes to a widow in Zarephath, we see (1) the sovereign call of faith, (2) the supreme challenge of faith, and (3) the serious crisis of faith.

The Word of God is our hope in the day of darkness. 1. Ahab's Evil Reign, 2. Elijah's Bold Prophecy, and 3. God's Preserving Grace

How can we be more useful for God's kingdom? God's grace propels us to good works!

How should Christians live in society?

God's grace transforms our lives.

We must adorn sound doctrine with holy lives. God calls the men and women, the old and the young, and the slaves and the masters to demonstrate the truthfulness of God's Word in how we live our everyday lives.

False teachers threaten God's purposes for His Church. False teachers must be silenced!

Godliness grows in the garden of the Church. The Church must be governed according to Scripture alone. God's Word tells us about church order and government. Elders must be qualified men according to Scripture.

In the greeting of Paul's epistle to Titus, we observe five features of faithful gospel ministry.

God will restore the fortunes of His people and bring His judgment on the nations.

God will fully restore His people when they repent. He will restore His blessings, pour out His Spirit, and offer His salvation.

God warns of a coming day of judgment and opens a door of hope to the repentant.

God's people have experienced a devastating locust plague as an act of God's judgment. Joel calls upon God's people to wake up, understand the times, and lament. Do we understand the times and lament the sad state of the Church today?

After Paul defends his faith before the Sanhedrin, Jesus stands by him, reassuring him of his presence and reminding him of his purpose. Paul will testify in Rome. Shortly thereafter a group of 40 Jews devise an evil plot to assassinate Paul. But even...

Paul is brought before the Sanhedrin to give his defense. He takes a stand for Jesus with a clean conscience, a clear message, and a courageous heart. When we stand for Jesus, he stands by us.

Paul calls the Ephesian elders to shepherd God's flock. What is a faithful shepherd?

Paul gives his farewell address to the Ephesian elders. What does God require of faithful elders?

Paul and his companions stay in Troas for seven days and they choose "the first day of the week" for their day of worship and fellowship. What did they choose this day? What is so special about Sunday?

Paul's gospel preaching is perceived to be a threat the city of Ephesus and a riot breaks out.

God is performing extraordinary miracles by the hand of Paul, and a group of Jewish exorcists attempt to manipulate God's power by invoking the name of Jesus. Is the power of Jesus real in your life? How can we access this power for our good and...

Apollos ministers in Ephesus. Although he is knowledgeable, gifted, and passionate for the Lord, he is not above correction. Priscilla and Aquila pull him aside in private and explain the truth more accurately. Are you teachable before the Lord?

2019 Advent sermon 3 of 3 on Galatians 4:4-7

God sent His Son to be born under the law to redeem us.

Jesus regains paradise through His death on the cross.

When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son. This sermon explores the perfect timing of the birth of Jesus.

Paul in Athens. How can we reach out to unbelievers without compromising our mission, message, and manner of life?

What does God require of those men who will serve the Church as elders and deacons?

Paul and Silas preach the good news that Jesus is King in Thessalonica and Berea. We learn about the art of gospel persuasion, the act of gospel disruption, and the advantage of gospel discovery. Do we proclaim the Kingship of Jesus?

Paul and Silas embark on the second missionary journey and receive the Lord's call to Macedonia. We learn from them how to proclaim the gospel in cross-cultural situations.

Paul and Barnabas are about to set out on their second missionary journey, but they have a sharp disagreement about John Mark and they part ways. What are we to make of this church conflict and how does it apply to us today?

After the Jerusalem Council convenes, the apostles and elders send a letter to the Gentile believers. When the Gentiles hear about the Council's decision, they rejoice in the truth. Church councils exist for the good of the Church.

How should the Church respond when heresy comes around? In the early Church, they called the Jerusalem Council--the first General Assembly--to refute the false teaching that salvation was by faith plus good works of the law.

The Jews stone Paul and leave him for dead outside Lystra. After waking up, Paul returns to the city and keeps preaching the gospel! He tells the disciples that we must enter the kingdom of God through many tribulations. How should we live in the...

Paul and Barnabas come to Lystra where they heal a crippled man. The miracle backfires when the people of Lystra misunderstand and believe Paul and Barnabas are Zeus and Hermes. Paul then corrects their misunderstanding and tells them how to escape...

Paul and Barnabas travel to Iconium and preach the gospel. When they do, the city is divided. The gospel brings division to the world. Where do you stand?

God's sovereignty inspires missionary and evangelistic zeal. We can proclaim the gospel with confidence because God is sovereign when sinners reject the gospel, when they accept the gospel, and even when they attack the gospel.

Paul and Barnabas bring the good news to the Jews in Antioch of Pisidia. They model for us how to overcome discouraging setbacks, how to clearly communicate the gospel, and how to follow up with those who respond.
