Deep Springs Baptist Church Sermon Series

Acts 2:14-36 "Birth of the Church Part II: The Church's First Sermon"

Continuing in our study of the birth of the Church, we will examine the content of Peter's first sermon on the day of Pentecost.  His introduction from Joel counters the claim that the Apostles were drunk.  He then moves on to the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of the Lord Jesus.  This is a masterful sermon rich with theological content from the Old Testament Scriptures. 

Acts 2:1-13 "The Birth Day of the Church (Part One)"

Today we look at Acts 2 and the birth of the Church.  Luke is careful to explain to us that what he is writing about is the fulfillment of the ancient feast of Weeks (or Pentecost).   We will look at the sounds, sights, and Spirit-inspired speech that followed. 

Hebrews 2:5-18 "Why Did God Become a Man?"

In this 12-22-24 sermon, we look at reasons for the Incarnation.  Why did God have to become a man?  This explains the true meaning of the Nativity. 

Phil 4:4-7 "Don't Worry About Anything, Pray About Everything

In this end of the year sermon, we look at Paul's letter to the Philippians.  He encourages them to rejoice always in the Lord.  He exhorts them to cast all of their anxiety on the Lord and pray instead of worrying.  As we do those things (with thanksgiving!) the peace of God will guard our hearts and minds! 

Matthew 2: "Christmas in Prophecy"

In today's episode we look at four specific prophecies concerning the birth and infancy of Jesus Christ.  His birth in Bethlehem and subsequent flight to Egypt, Herod's slaughter of the infants, and the Royal Family settling in Nazareth were all predicted by the Old Testament prophets.  These are no mere coincidences and all prove that Jesus Christ is indeed the promised Messiah of Israel and the world! 

Luke 2:22-38 : "The Greatest Baby Dedication"

Joseph and Mary bring the infant Jesus into the Temple.  He is obedient to all of the regulations of the Law.  Simeon and Anna are representative of the godly remnant who were looking for the Messiah. 

Judges 16: "Remember Me"

We come to the conclusion of the Samson narrative.  How will he be remembered? What lessons can we glean? 

Veteran's Day 2024: "Soldiers in the Army of the LORD"

Paul's final instructions to Timothy as one called to be a soldier in God's army!  

Judges 15: "Odd Ways of Getting Even"

The Samson narrative continues as God uses him to keep the Philistines at bay.  At last, we finally see Samson calling upon God in prayer and the LORD's gracious response! 

Acts 6: "Growing Pains and Gifted Leaders"

The early church encountered some difficulties along with their exponential growth.  In response to the challenges, God raised up Spirit-empowered leaders to assist those whose primary task was prayer and the ministry of the Word.
