MissionWay Church Sunday Sermons

Did you know that the Bible tells you how to do your job? The Bible reminds us that work is a good thing that God Himself participates in and so should we as His creatures made in His image. We should approach our jobs with sincerity, diligence, and a sense of purpose beyond just earning a living. This sermon encourages believers to view their work as an extension of their discipleship and a means to honor God and serve others, thereby taking their faith beyond just Sunday worship.

In 2 Corinthians 5:21, Paul reveals the profound exchange that took place on the cross: "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." This sermon will explore the depths of Christ's sacrifice, where He took on our sin and bestowed upon us His righteousness.

On this Sunday, we welcome Matt Owen as our guest speaker to deliver a sermon from Psalm 32. In this Psalm, David reveals the heavy burden of guilt and the profound relief that comes from confessing our sins to God. As we explore this psalm, we'll uncover the path to true forgiveness and the joy that accompanies a heart set free from guilt.

One of our elders preaches on hell where he examines its reality, alternative views, and biblical support from both Testaments. This sermon explores the nature of Hell, its creation, rulership, the experiences within, and its duration. Dave spends time emphasizing God's characteristics, sin, judgment, punishment, the Gospel, a Christian response, a message to non-believers, and call to action.

We have all been affected by trials and grief in some way. And rather than leave us alone and without answers, the Bible actually tells us why trials come, how to deal with them, and what God is doing in the midst of them. In this sermon, we will explore the profound wisdom of James 1:2-4, which encourages us to find joy in trials. We'll delve into how facing challenges with faith can strengthen our perseverance and lead to spiritual maturity, transforming our hardships into stepping stones for growth.

**Please forgive us for the first few minutes of the sermon being cut off as we had issues with our livestream**As we look at the well-known story of David and Goliath from 1 Samuel 17 which is often viewed as a tale of personal triumph, we discover that this story is much more than a motivational tale. This sermon shows us that the story primarily points to Jesus: the true hero who conquers our greatest enemy. By examining David's faith and actions, we are reminded that our ultimate victory comes through Christ, who has already fought and won the decisive battle on our behalf.

The story of Jonah is often only partially told. Maybe because when we look at all four chapters, it causes us to face the uncomfortable truth that we are often far more like Jonah than we would like to admit. This sermon delves deep into the narrative of this reluctant prophet to show us the incredible Redemption that Jesus (the better Jonah) provides for us. This story also challenges us to stop running to our comforts and fears for the sake of boldly proclaiming the Gospel to those around us!

Daniel's unwavering faith and integrity certainly give us an example worth following. Despite facing numerous challenges and opposition, he remained faithful in all aspects of his life. We’ll delve into how his commitment to God and his exemplary conduct serve as a powerful testament to the impact of living out one’s faith boldly. More importantly, we will see that despite all of this, he is not the true hero of this story or even the main character.

As we delve into the powerful story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, we'll explore the cost of following Jesus, even when it demands immense personal sacrifice. This narrative challenges us to examine our own faith and devotion amidst cultural pressures. These three men teach us about the exclusive nature of true worship and the assurance of God's presence in our trials. They show us how to have a "...but even if not..." kind of faith.

This story may seem to be pretty straightforward at first - Jacob wrestles with God and receives a blessing from Him. But as we dig in, we find not only profound lessons for us to draw from in our walk with Christ, but more importantly we see shadows and seeds of the Gospel unfolding right before our eyes. We truly see Jesus in this story and it's one that we had better pay attention to as it carries significance not only in the life of Jacob, but for all of Redemptive history!
