Sermons--Northboro Church of Christ

Self-deception is cautioned against in the scriptures. Whitewashed tombs, hearers but not doers of the word. Outward righteousness, inward death. These are among some of the descriptions given to those who have deceived themselves. Are you one?

Choose. Rehoboam or Samuel? Go with the crowd, or go with your feelings? Get counsel or go it alone? Choices, choices, choices. Is there anything that will help us to make wise choices in Samuel's life? Rehoboams life? Find out in this message given by brother Dennis.

If you were asked, should Christians follow the Ten Commandments, how would you answer? In Exodus 20, God is descending on Mt. Sinai to give Moses His Law for the nation of Israel. There are many valuable lessons to learn from the Ten Commandments but should Christians today follow them? What role do the Ten Commandments play today in the Christian life? In this message we discuss this question.

In Exodus chapter 19, we look at the Israelites as they approach Mount Sinai. God desired them to be a holy nation. He wanted them to listen. Did the people listen to God through Moses? There are parallels between the Israelites in Exodus 19 and Christians today.

In-laws often get a bad rap, but they can be a great blessing. We can learn a great amount about leadership, mentoring, and teamwork from Moses' father-in-law Jethro. This sermon is from Exodus Chapter 18.

Israel had all the signs that should have shown them that God was with them. Instead, we find Israel in Exodus 17 asking "Is God among us or not." It's OK to be thirsty, it's OK to ask for water, it is not Ok to test God in our forgetfulness and refusal to listen. As Christians, we also have evidence enough that shows us that God is present. May we be encouraged to remember what God has already done for us and be willing to LISTEN to Him.

What do the murmurings of Israel, Manna, and the Sabbath have in common? More than you might think. If my rest is in Christ and my sustenance is Him as well, what am I complaining about again? This sermon is based in Exodus chapter 16.

What do you do when you hit the wall? In Exodus chapter 15, God has previously rescued the Israelites from Egypt, and now they have hit the wall again when they have no water while wandering in the wilderness.

Is anything too difficult for God? Have you ever felt overwhelmed, surrounded by Satan, darkness, and chaos? If you have, this video reminds you to consider Israel, with the Red Sea in front of them and Pharaoh's army marching after them. By faith they walked through the Red Sea and saw the salvation of the Lord! This lesson is found in Exodus chapter 14.

In Exodus 13, we find God commanding Israel to redeem their firstborn sons. Have you thought about what it means to be redeemed? Or why we need to be redeemed? In this message we are encouraged to consider our value in to God.

When God delivered the Israelites from Egypt he instituted a feast through Moses called the Passover. What does this seemingly distant feast have to do with us as Christians today? This lesson is based in Exodus chapter 11-12.

As darkness filled the land of Egypt with the ninth plague, the Israelites had light in their dwellings. Without God's Word in this world, we are all in spiritual darkness. His Word is Light. Even more so, Jesus is The Light. Though it is dark in this world, we can have light in our homes -- with Jesus! This message is based on Exodus Chapter 10.

In Exodus chapter 9, we see more of the plagues. God warned Pharaoh before each plague, but he didn't pay attention. He didn't heed the warnings. Pharaoh hardened his heart. Do we harden our hearts and not take God's word seriously? Are we like Pharaoh?

Have you ever denied the Lord? Cracked under pressure? Maybe it was an opportunity to talk to a neighbor about spiritual things, a friend, a relative. Perhaps it was an action that was taken that didn't look anything like Christ in you. Why do we do this? This message intends to help us avoid denying our Lord by looking to scripture and the examples of the Egyptian Magicians and Pharaoh in Exodus chapter 8.

Pharaoh of Egypt had a hard heart and oppressed the people of Israel. For this God destroyed him through Moses. But was his hard heart his choice? Does God predestine some people for destruction? How does he pick who gets to be saved? We will examine these questions in light of Romans Chapter 9 and Exodus Chapter 7.

Do you give up easily? When life throws a curve ball, when things get difficult, do you struggle to go to the Lord and His word? Allow the short term hardship to blind you from the long term goal? Moses and Israel serve as an example of attitudes that we need to avoid and embrace in the midst of trying times. There is never a good time for a Christian to give up! This lesson is from Exodus chapters 5-6.

Have you ever used the Lord's name in vain? Have you ever wondered what God's name is? In Exodus chapter 3, God tells Moses what Hs name is! Please listen and be encouraged to honor the name of the Lord!

400 years and nothing. No prophet, no word from the Lord, no exodus, nothing. What do we do when it seems like God is silent? What do you do? We learn from Exodus 2 that God does hear our cries and does take notice of us. When our faith is tested, what do we do?

This sermon is the first in a series of lessons on the book of Exodus. The Israelites in the book of Exodus waited. They waited for the prophecy to be fulfilled. The prophecy had been 400 years before. They waited. They waited through slavery to get to the Promised Land. This sermon is based on Exodus chapter 1.

What if the good that Paul talks about in Romans 8 benefits other people? What if it benefits the very ones that have caused you pain and suffering? Would you be ok with that? Do you have eyes of faith, can you see beyond the coffin? What do you think Joseph would say if you could ask him if he would do it all over again?

In Genesis 49 Jacob blesses Judah. "The scepter shall not depart from Judah until Shiloh comes." What does this mean? Do you have a king? Who is your king? Are you like the chief priests who said, "We have no king but Caesar."? Are your hopes tied into the kings of this earth or the King of Kings?

What does it mean to have "every spiritual blessing in Christ"? Through the trials and trying times of life, can you still see the blessings? This sermon is based on Genesis chapter 48.
