Kootenai Church: Special Sermons

On the night of the Savior's Birth, His arrival was announced to Shepherds out in the fields. An exposition of Luke 2:1-20.

In Gabriel's announcement to Mary, we see the themes of Old Testament promises surface once again. The child born to Mary would be both human and divine. The "Seed of the woman" would be conceived apart from the agency of man. He would be a King from David's line who will rule that Kingdom forever. An exposition of Luke 1:26-38.

The Old Testament promised a Messiah Who is Immanuel, "God with us." The origin, names, and reign of the Messiah as promised in the Old Testament reveal His divine nature. An exposition of Micah 5:2; Isaiah 9:6-7; and Psalm 2.

The humanity of the Redeemer is necessary for our salvation. The Old Testament promised a Messiah who would share fully our humanity. We see His humanity in His lineage, His suffering, and His reign. An exposition of selected Scriptures.

This is the first message in a Christmas series for 2023. We begin with the very first promise of a redeemer given to Adam and Even in the garden after their sin. Spoken amid a curse, this promise is filled with hope and mercy. An exposition of Genesis 3:15.

Giving thanks should characterize our relationships, our worship, and our service. It is a grace that should be evident in all aspects of Christian living and church life. An exposition of Colossians 3:15-17.

Though Paul is writing primarily to combat false teachers threatening that congregation, his pastoral care for this flock is clearly evident in this letter. Since believers in Jesus have new life in Him, all aspects of our lives (our "walk") should clearly demonstrate that fact, including our speech—an exposition of Colossians 4:2-6.

Eight reasons to obey the Savior and be baptized. Selected Scriptures.

A survey of John’s Gospel, and its teachings regarding God's election, and the security of His elect. An exposition of John 6, 10, 17.

Both the younger son (the rebellious prodigal) and the older son (the religious prodigal) are more alike than they are different: They are both opposed to receiving the free goodness and grace of the Father. They are essentially anti-grace prodigals. And so, we must remember not to resist or replace God's grace. An exposition of Luke 15.

The distinction between the baptism of the Holy Spirit and being filled with the Holy Spirit. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a unique event associated with the birth of the church, characterized by the filling of the Holy Spirit and the speaking of tongues, and it is not a normative experience for present-day believers–the gift of speaking in tongues ceased after the apostolic era.

The single truth that will most effectively fix your heart, mind, and affections upon Heaven, our eternal home and reward, is the truth of our future bodily resurrection. Reminding us that our citizenship is in Heaven, Paul describes our eventual transformation at the Resurrection by which we will be made fit for our Heavenly Home. An exposition of Philippians 3:20-21.
