Living the Life

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Romans 12:14-18 (incl. supplemental passages)

– When we become Christians, the Bible tells us that we can expect to see a radical change in our life as we begin to bear good fruit for God. As for an example of what this change looks like, we are required to look to the Scriptures. The 12th Chapter of Romans gives us a look at the marks of Christianity in our lives.

The Right Look in 2014

Guest Speaker: Pastor Greg Davies – A topical sermon based on James 1:25 (incl. supplemental passages)

– Moving into a new year always results in resolutions and commitments to improve ourselves. However, Pastor Greg Davies challenges us to not look at how we can necessarily improve our worldly lives, but rather how we can improve our spiritual lives as we are instructed in James 1:25.

Knowing and Obeying Jesus

HPBC Elder: Josh Longmore – An exposition of Matthew 7:13-29

– Jesus makes a shocking statement in Matthew 7 when He says, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven.” It then becomes a question of how we know for certain that we know Jesus. An expositional study of these passages and supplemental texts shows us that it is by our obedience to God that we know we belong to Him.

The Incarnation

Guest Speaker: Caleb Abernathy – An exposition of Philippians 2:1-11

– As we prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ our Lord, ministry leader Caleb Abernathy takes us to the book of Philippians for an expositional sermon which shows the ramifications of God taking on flesh, and how it demonstrates the character of our King.

The Lord is My Shepherd

Guest Speaker: Pastor John Richard – An exposition of Psalm 23:1-4

– The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well-known passages in Scripture, but what is the true meaning and context of the words David wrote, and how do they apply to the Christian life when it comes to dealing with trials? Pastor John Richard provides an expositional view of this text to show us.

The Needs of the Saints

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Romans 12:13 (incl. supplemental passages)

– Expositing the book of Romans brings us to a verse that is often times taken out of context and misapplied. However, there is a very important principle to be found within the context of this passage when the verse is properly applied. Said principle has to do with how we care for our brethren in need.

The True Church

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Romans 12:9-12 (incl. supplemental passages)

– When a person puts their faith in Jesus Christ and becomes a Christian, they also become a member of God’s church and a part of the Lord’s family. An examination of Romans 12 and related passages shows us the ramifications of this new identity, and highlights our responsibilities as members of the Body.

Our Gifts and Our Responsibility

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of Romans 12:6-8 (incl. supplemental passages)

– With a proper knowledge and perspective of the grace gifts God gives us for use in service to Him and to each other, we must understand that with these gifts comes a responsibility not just that we use them, but that we use them properly. A deeper study of Romans 12 and supplemental passages informs us in the proper usage of these gifts.

For the Common Good

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of 1 Corinthians 12, 13, & 14 (incl. supplemental passages)

– In this sermon, Professor Joe Schloegel provides an expositional explanation and background of the differences between grace gifts and spiritual gifts within the church. We are given a Biblical perspective on the implementation and use of both types of gifts, and come to an understanding of what the ultimate purpose of these God-granted gifts is.

The Philippian Church

Guest Speaker: Caleb Abernathy – An exposition of Philippians 1 (incl. supplemental passages)

– Paul wrote many letters to many different churches, but he had an especially strong love for the church at Philippi. However, his love for this church is not necessarily based upon the people themselves, but on something else having to do with a Christian’s unique perspective. A study of this love that Paul has for the Philippians reveals an application for the church today.
