Don’t Just Stand

October 16, 2022Sermon, Testimonydiscipleship, endurance, evangelism, guest speaker, Luke, Matthew, Revelationprairieoakschurch

We enjoyed having Jake and his family share with us their testimony of God’s faithfulness and their mission project in the other “battlefield town.” Plus he preaches to us of the importance of Standing Firm and not falling away in challenging times. But the Word of God calls us to more than standing, we need to be contributing to the kingdom of God.

Luke 19:11-27

Faithful through Persecution

May 1, 2022SermonActs, Church, endurance, John, Matthew, prayer, Revelation, SpiritBrad Harris

Stephen was a faithful witness, even through opposition, persecution, and death. But the seeds of the gospel that he had sown in his death did not produce immediate fruit. Instead, a chief persecutor arose who wreaked havoc on the church, scattering them from Jerusalem. Why would God allow this to happen to His infant church? Instead, Jesus prepared His followers for this eventuality, knowing that what the world had done to Him, the world would do to His followers. And He prepared His followers with great promises that His faithfulness would empower them to be faithful.

Christ is Living

April 17, 2022SermonHoliday, John, Revelation, salvationBrad Harris

Jesus Christ is the Living One who became dead and, behold, is the Living One for all eons of time. As the Lamb who was slain and who lives and reigns, these are His credentials for being Judge of all humanity. We ponder at Easter that the resurrection is an essential part of our salvation, but it is also critical part of the Son of Man’s earning the role as Judge of all the earth. He invites us to get to know Him as Savior before we stand before Him as our Judge.

Trail of the Tree of Life

June 13, 2021SermonGenesis, life, Revelation, worshipBrad Harris

Genesis sets the foundation for understanding the rest of the storyline of the Bible, in particular the first few chapters. The Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil play a significant role throughout that storyline of the Scriptures, but we may not always recognize it when we see it.

Scriptures that I read or reference include… Genesis 2:7-9, 15-17; John 17:3; Genesis 3:22-24; Exodus 3:2; Deuteronomy 21:22-23; Psalm 1:1-3; Jeremiah 17:7-8; 1 Peter 2:24; Isaiah 53; Galatians 3:13; Revelation 2:7; Ezekiel 47:1-12; Revelation 22:14.
There are other Scriptures that develop these ideas, can you find others? 😉

Messiah in Psalms

May 30, 2021SermonDavid, Genesis, God's will, Hebrews, Matthew, obedience, Psalm, Revelation, worshipBrad Harris

David was a prophet in that the Spirit revealed things about David’s superlative descendant as David wrote his poetry for the Psalter. The psalms are rich in messages about the Messiah. Psalm 110 stands above many in the mysteries it reveals about the coming King and Priest and Judge. We spend a few minutes unpacking the treasurers of Jesus placed within Psalm 110.

Set Apart for Glory

January 17, 2021SermonCorinthians, endurance, Paul, Revelation, Romans, salvationBrad Harris

Romans 8 has so much going on that we don’t do it justice. The glorification of the believer in Christ Jesus is so much more than we can do justice. But we examine where Romans 8 touches on our culminating gift of salvation, where we are freed from the presence of sin on the other side of death. And how all of creation eagerly anticipates that revelation.

A Redeemer for us

March 1, 2020SermonRevelation, Ruth, salvationBrad Harris

Boaz and Ruth are such godly examples for us to emulate. Yet both of them humbly trusted God for their salvation. Even Boaz admitted (beyond what he understood) that there was a closer Redeemer than he could be. And so we finish by looking at the Greater Redeemer than Boaz. Jesus purchases our sin debt to God, rescues us from slavery to sin, and reconciles us into the family of God. He is our Greater Redeemer.

Three gifts reveal the Greatest Gift

December 22, 2019SermonJohn, Matthew, Revelation, worshipBrad Harris

There’s more going on in the Christmas carol “We Three Kings” than the title. We find that if we listen to the message woven throughout the carol that we can learn much about the Child in Bethlehem. The wise men traversed so far to behold Him and rejoiced to worship Him, giving such valuable gifts. Indeed the Greatest Gift is the King, God, and Sacrifice revealed throughout the song and, more importantly, in Scripture.

We are still polishing up the audio and appearances of our podcast. We welcome your helpful input that all might be done unto the glory of God.

Christ is Faithful

December 15, 2019SermonChurch, endurance, John, Love, RevelationBrad Harris

Our series in Revelation comes to its conclusion this week. But we discover that last message is a very sobering reminder that we as individuals as well as churches can get far away from what we were created to be. Yet even in the midst of correction from the Faithful and True Witness, Christ is Faithful to His wayward saints in love and righteousness. He invites and even disciplines us back into fellowship with Him. Jesus is the good news.
This is the last in a seven-part sermon series on church revitalization.

I added a short intro before the audio of the sermon audio begins. Let me know in the comments what you think.

Christ opens the door…

December 8, 2019SermonChurch, endurance, John, RevelationBrad Harris

Ever feel like that there are so many obstacles and closed doors slammed in your face? What is one to do? The little church in Philadelphia was feeling weak and excluded. But Christ reminded them that He had opened the most important door unto them, the one into heaven! And they would enter that door victorious as they remained faithful in spite of their weakness. In weakness is where the Lord’s strength is glorified.
This is the sixth in a seven-part sermon series on church revitalization.

I also included a testimony that the audio is difficult to hear (just a minute or so into the message) but if you can hear it, it’s a blessing.
