Citizens of Heaven

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Philippians 2:12-30 (incl. supplemental passages)

– Our citizenship is not of this earth. Rather, we are citizens of heaven, and partakers of all that implies. This should manifest itself in our lives in a number of ways which are highlighted in this expository sermon from the second chapter of Philippians.

Be of One Mind

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Philippians 2:1-11

– In an exposition of Philippians 2, Pastor Joe Schloegel shows us the commands for Christians within the Body to be of one mind, having one soul, loving one another unconditionally and serving one another. This is reflected in the example set by Christ when he left His throne in heaven and took on human form. The point is reiterated that having right theology and proclaiming Truth is of the utmost importance in the life of the Church.

To Live is Christ

It’s About God

Consider the Cross

HPBC Deacon: Mike Griego – An exposition of Matthew 27:27-50

– In this sermon, we are reminded that our lives should be dominated by thoughts of the cross, and through an exposition of the Gospel of Matthew, Deacon Mike Griego takes us to the crucifixion and challenges us to remember all that Christ had to endure so that we might be saved.

Rights vs. Responsibility

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of 1 Corinthians 8, 9, & 10

– As we grow in our faith, we come to understand that there are some practices that are amoral (that is, they are not actually sinful), and are therefore not a threat to our sanctification. However, for some who are not as strong in their faith, these practices may become a stumbling block to them because they don’t know better. In an exposition of 1 Corinthians 9-10, we examine whether these amoral issues should be readily practiced because it’s our right, or if we should be willing to give up those rights out of love for a weaker brother.

Waiting on a Faithful God

HPBC Elder: Greg Lynch – An exposition of Psalm 40:1-5 (incl. supplemental passages)

– It’s very easy to become discouraged or impatient while we are waiting on God, but it is of the utmost importance to remember the He is and will always be faithful to do what He has promised. In this sermon, HPBC deacon Greg Lynch provides and expositional look at a number of scriptural passages on God’s faithfulness and provides instruction on how we should pray and wait upon the Lord.

Christ, the Word and the Light

HPBC Elder: Paul Davies – An exposition of 1 John 1:1-10

– Two of the many names Scripture gives for Christ are “The Word” and “The Light”. But why? An expositional examination of 1 John shows us how these names relate to our Lord, and also what it means for those who follow Him.

God’s Church cannot be without these characteristics presented in Acts.
