This sermon, "Divine Deliverance," emphasizes God's ability to intervene in impossible situations, drawing heavily on the Exodus narrative. Pr. Hastick highlights the importance of patience, faith, and worship, especially during times of waiting and adversity.

The sermon also contrasts societal impatience with God's divine timing and purpose, culminating in a call for a spiritual "reset" and closer communion with God.

The Promise - Pr. Jeff Kern

Pastor Jeff Kern's sermon, "The Promise," from Living Word Church, centers on the unfailing nature of God's promisescompared to often-broken human promises. He emphasizes the importance of seeking Jesus as the ultimate source of solutions and trusting in God's power for miracles, which he asserts have divine purpose rather than being random occurrences. The sermon encourages the congregation to focus on the eternal promise of Jesus's return and the new life offered through Him, rather than being troubled by worldly concerns. Kern illustrates these points with biblical accounts, personal anecdotes, and a call to maintain faith and evangelize.

"We are the World" - Pr. Jeff Kern

Thise sermon emphasize a core Christian belief: that followers of Jesus, though physically present in the world, do not belong to its systems or values. Instead, they are called to live as "ambassadors" for God's kingdom, representing heavenly principles and a different citizenship. The texts highlight the divine purpose of Christians to stand apart and show others their allegiance to God, rather than conforming to worldly norms. This involves a continuous reflection on how one's actions and priorities reflect their identity as a follower of Christ.

Victory in Jesus by Ewell Harmon

This sermon focuses on the concept of sin and the victory over it through faith in Jesus Christ.

Counting the Cost by Todd Jerman

Sermon from the Living Word Church, delivered on a Sabbath, that outlines the meaning and cost of true discipleship in Christianity. The speaker explains that being a disciple goes beyond intellectual agreement, requiring a full surrender of one's life to Christ, prioritizing Him above all else, and being willing to "bear one's cross"—a metaphor for self-denial and a one-way journey of commitment.

The 11th Commandment - Pr. Jeff Kern

This sermon emphasizes the importance of selfless love as the defining characteristic of a Christian, drawing parallels between human acts of sacrifice and Jesus's ultimate love. It suggests that while adherence to rules and rituals is important, the capacity for genuine, unconditional love is the true measure of discipleship and the foundation for spiritual growth, both individually and as a community. Pr. Kern uses various anecdotes and metaphors to illustrate that a church or individual can only grow as much as their minimum supply of love allows, warning against superficiality and the dangers of transactional relationships. Ultimately, the message highlights that love, forgiveness, and unity are paramount in the pursuit of spiritual fulfillment and reaching others.

Go Ask - Because Actions Preach Louder - Pr. Jeff Kern

This sermon explores the biblical account of Jesus healing a man born blind in John chapter nine, using it as a foundational text to discuss the nature of suffering, spiritual blindness, and God's redemptive power. Pr. Kern speaker emphasizes that suffering is not a direct punishment from God for individual sin, but rather a consequence of living in a fallen world under the influence of Satan. The sermon also highlights the contrasting reactions to the miracle, with the formerly blind man gaining spiritual insight while the Pharisees, despite their physical sight, remained spiritually blind due to their rigid adherence to rules over compassion. Ultimately, the speaker calls on the congregation to be representatives of Jesus' love and healing in the world, demonstrating God's grace and transformation through their own lives rather than judging others.

Additionally, the sermon references biblical passages, like Psalms 119 and Numbers 7, and the teachings of Martin Luther King Jr. to support the idea of striving for excellence and continually growing in one's spiritual journey. The core message revolves around understanding and fulfilling one's divine purpose through constant prayer, communication, and obedience to God's word, acknowledging that challenges are temporary and blessings follow perseverance.

Speak Lord - A Call for Generations

The speaker emphasizes the importance of intergenerational relationships and discipleship within the church, highlighting how adults can mentor and guide younger members, just as Eli mentored Samuel, and how young people should be receptive to this guidance. The message underscores that God continues to work and speak through both the old and the young, encouraging everyone to have a listening heart and be prepared to serve and fulfill their God-given purpose. The speaker concludes by affirming their commitment to training the next generation and expressing gratitude for the church's support of youth ministries like the Pathfinders.
