Evergreen Bible Chapel Sermons

In the very first chapters of the Bible, God says that it is not good that man should be alone. We have been created for community, and friendships are one of God's ways of fulfilling that need. In this sermon, we look at the importance of friendship, and how to develop deep and lasting ones. 

Everyone wants to be wanted, and everyone wants to be fulfilled. In this famous passage about the Samaritan woman from John 4, we look at how Jesus pursues us, offers us eternal satisfaction, and guides us in how we must respond to him in worship and witness. 

At the end of our life, we want to hear the words well done good and faithful servant. Well how do we live a life that will lead to us hearing those words? What can we do to remain faithful to the end and serve Christ well in the time he has given us?

What does it mean that Jesus is gentle and lowly? And how do we reflect the character and nature of Christ in our own lives. 

In this sermon we look at 6 principles for training up a child in the way he should go. Parenting is a very important, and very difficult task, and yet the Scriptures guide us on how we can do it to the glory of God and lead our children in the proper way! 

In this passages we look at the topic of Conflict Resolution from the book of Proverbs and James. Jesus says, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God". How can we become better peacemakers in the areas of conflict in our lives and others? 

In the sermon we explore what the Proverbs have to say about wise and foolish speech. We are called to put off speech that dishonours our Lord, and put on speech that glorifies him. The tongue can either be a source of great blessing, or a source of great pain. How are you using your words? 

For mother's day, we look at the description of an excellent wife from Proverbs 31. Though the Bible's description of an excellent wife may be very countercultural, it is biblical and comes with many wonderful blessings! 

Today we look at the very "acceptable" sin of sloth and laziness. Our culture is defined by a distaste for work. We are always looking for the most comfortable life we can live, and rarely are desiring to put in the hard work (in all things) that God calls us to. In this sermon we look at the sin of sloth, why it is dangerous, and how to fight it in our lives! 

Paul followed Jesus in willing self-subjection to suffering--so should we.
