Sermons on Grace (Page 2)

Who Was That Masked Man?

Pastor Bob delivers a sermon from Matthew 23:1-12. Jesus condemns the Pharisees for being hypocrites – literally ‘masked men’ because they did not practice what they taught. How often on Sunday mornings, do we wear a mask to disguise our Monday through Saturday actions? We need to remove the masks of hypocrisy as they prevent us from growing to be more like…

The Tale of Two Sinners

On this Reformation Sunday, Pastor Bob delivers a sermon from Luke 18:9-14. The self-righteous Pharisee thought of religion as a competition between mortals, but through the mercy-seeking tax collector, we see that it is a competition against the righteousness of God. Jesus shows us that the only way to win is to admit our weakness and receive His grace. May we humble…

Law & Gospel

Pastor Bob delivers a sermon from Galatians 3:23-29 and the ‘fundamentals’ of Christianity. The Law is useful and should drive us into the arms of Jesus – His grace and mercy – where we are co-heirs of the kingdom for eternity. “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slavenor free, there is no male and female, for you are all…

Show Me the Way Home

Pastor Bob delivers a sermon based on 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. Do you have a plan about bridging the gap between you and God? Sin has paralyzed us and immobilized us in terms of reaching God. The Prodigal Son felt he needed to work his way back into his father’s good graces – as does every other world religion. Could it be that…

Telling It Like It Is

Pastor Bob delivers a sermon from Ephesians 2:8-10.  Where are you on the ‘faith / works / grace’ spectrum?  We can’t experience the good news of the New Testament unless we understand the need for grace from the Old Testament.  When you are faced with the opportunity to share that good news with others, are you afraid to ‘tell it like it…

Paul & Martin Luther

Pastor Bob delivers a sermon from Ephesians 2:1-10 on Reformation Sunday. Are we saved by faith or by works?  Both Paul and Martin Luther tried to earn their way to salvation, yet they realized it was impossible.  Pastor Bob explains are saved by grace through faith, and we are to be born again.  We are God’s masterpieces and our lives must exhibit…

An Unforgiving Christian: An Oxymoron

Pastor Bob delivers a sermon from Matthew 18:21-35 where Jesus tells the parable of the forgiven yet unforgiving servant.  Our motivation to forgive should be powerful because a) Jesus commands us to, b) because it’s a gift to our own mental health and c)because it is the only logical response in light of the mercy…

A Tale of Two Sinners

Pastor Bob delivers a sermon from Luke18:9-14 in which Jesus uses the parable of the prayers of the Pharisee and the tax collector.  In Jesus’ time, the Pharisees were considered the spiritual superstars and the tax collectors were the lowest of the low; yet Jesus compares the prayers of each to teach a powerful lesson in…

What Have You Done For Me Lately?

Pastor Bob Zoba delivers a sermon from Luke 17:11-19 where we read of Jesus healing the ten lepers.  Only one of the ten returned to Jesus to give Him thanks and to praise God.  How are we like those nine lepers?  Are we quick to forget the miracles that we have experienced in our lives?…
