The Supremacy of Christ
Passage: Colossians 1:15-19 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Colossians - Complete in Christ Category: Apologetics, Church , Christ , Colossians Summary: One major problem in the Colossian church was bad theology from false teachers. Some argued that Jesus wasn’t fully God, while others taught He was God’s first created being. Paul wrote to set the record straight. In Col. 1:15-19 Paul teaches about the supremacy of Christ in three important ways.

Our thanksgiving should translate into thanks-living. In Col. 1:12-14 Paul wraps up his prayer for the church by mentioning three blessings of salvation that every Christian can be grateful for.

Partners in Prayer
Passage: Colossians 1:9-11 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Colossians - Complete in Christ Category: Prayer , Colossians Summary: Often we may feel burdened to pray for someone, but we may not know how to pray for them. That’s when we resort to generic prayers. In Colossians 1:9-11 Paul prayed specifically in four areas for the believers at Colossae. This prayer is a great model for us to follow as we commit to praying for each other.

A day is coming when the church will defy gravity and meet Christ in the air. That spectacular moment, known as “the Rapture,” could be sooner than we realize!

How Should A Christian Vote?
Passage: Exodus 18:13-23 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: America at a Crossroads Category: America , Politics , Government Summary: Every 4 years, Americans must make a critical decision about who they will select for political leaders. Many Christians feel like it is a choice between the "lesser of two evils." Wouldn't it be helpful if there was a passage in the Bible that would tell us what to look for in a candidate? Well there is--Exodus 18, where Moses is advised by his father-in-law about what qualifications should be considered for selecting judges. This...

The Politics of Pilgrims
Passage: 1 Timothy 2:1-3 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: America at a Crossroads Category: America , Politics , Government Summary: The Bible calls Christ-followers “pilgrims” (1 Pet. 2:11; Heb. 11:13). A vagabond has no home. An ambassador is away from home. But a pilgrim is headed home! We are citizens of America by birth, but citizens of heaven by second birth. That means we must live as dual citizens. In this message, we are going to talk about how the governments of men and God coexist and even clash at times. Let’s learn about “the politics...

America at a Crossroads
Passage: Psalms 80:1-19 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: America at a Crossroads Category: America , Faith, Psalms, Revival Summary: Our nation is at a crossroads. Again, we find ourselves with the decision that will determine our nation’s fate for the next four years. America’s perilous situation today is strikingly similar to ancient Israel at the time Psalm 80 was written. In Psalm 80 we have one of Israel’s patriots imploring God to rescue His people from the brink of national disaster.

In Genesis 35 we have another turning point in the life of this patriarch. Finally, after much delay and disobedience, Jacob goes back to Bethel, the place where Jacob’s walk with God began. For Jacob, going back to Bethel was like going home. In Jacob’s sunset years we are going to see four new things enter his life. For us thi...

Over those years, the Lord had been working on Jacob bringing him to a point of humility and repentance over his scheming ways. In Genesis 33 we finally come to the moment when these estranged brothers meet again and restore their broken relationship. As we study this scene, we will learn important steps in the process of healing hurts from...

Passage: Genesis 32:1-32 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Jacob: Schemer and Dreamer Category: Jacob, Genesis , Surrender Summary: There are two great spiritual landmarks in Jacob’s life. The first was Bethel where God came to him in a dream and reveled the ladder coming down from heaven. The second was on the banks of the Jabbok river when he wrestled with God. At Bethel Jacob first believed and at the Jabbok River he was finally broken. Jacob will emerge from this “dark night of the soul” a changed man both physic...

Battle of the Brides
Passage: Genesis 29:31-30:24 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Jacob: Schemer and Dreamer Category: Jacob, Genesis Summary: Jacob was supposed to be the man of the house, but his attention and affection quickly became the object of a tug-of-war between two battling brides, Rachel and Leah (also sisters mind you). Genesis 29-30 has polygamy, discord, jealousy, competition, infertility and more drama than a Hallmark movie. At the heart of this dysfunctional family are two women struggling for identity.

The School of Sowing and Reaping
Passage: Genesis 29:1-30 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Jacob: Schemer and Dreamer Category: Jacob, Genesis Summary: In Genesis 29 we have the record of how Jacob met and married his wives. The man who weaseled the birthright away from his brother and conned his father needed some serious schooling in the spiritual disciplines. This chapter is an OT illustration of a NT truth, “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap” (Gal. 6:7). Jacob doesn’t know it, but class in is session.

Jacob's Ladder
Passage: Genesis 28:10-22 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Jacob: Schemer and Dreamer Category: Jacob, Genesis Summary: Genesis 28 is probably the most famous scene from Jacob’s life. We know that Jacob was a schemer, but he was also a dreamer and this scene explains why; for here, God reaches down to our prodigal patriarch and gives him an incredible dream of a ladder reaching up to heaven. This is Jacob’s moment of salvation as He experiences the God of his father and grandfather in an unforgettable way. In this mess...

A House Divided
Passage: Genesis 27:1-44 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Jacob: Schemer and Dreamer Category: Jacob, Genesis Summary: If you are looking for a model family, you won’t find one in the Bible. Isaac and Rebekah’s family was a hot mess. Their marriage got off to a promising start, but by the time we open Gen. 27, they have drifted apart. Years of parental favoritism has divided this family. Isaac prefers his athletic, brawny, son of the wild—Esau. While, Rebekah shelters and nurtures her “mama’s boy”—Jacob. In this message, we ar...

Sibling Rivalry
Passage: Genesis 25:19-34 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Jacob: Schemer and Dreamer Category: Jacob, Genesis Summary: The biography of Jacob begins in Gen. 25 and like most of us he’s born in a dysfunctional family. In this iconic passage we learn a lot about Jacob's origin and character flaws. Jacob was a deceiver and trickster. Esau made a foolish bargain choosing the temporal over the physical. These two brothers can teach us much about ourselves and the Gospel.

Paul made the best of his situation and continued to preach the Gospel even while under house arrest. In a way this chapter is both an end and a beginning.

That was certainly true of the Apostle Paul’s life. For several chapters now, Paul has been on his way to Rome, but before Paul arrived there God sent his apostle on a 3-month detour. In Acts 28 we find Paul and company shipwrecked on the island of Malta. This hold-over in Paul’s journey to Rome...

But before he and Dr. Luke arrived in Italy, the ship ran into a terrible storm that waylaid the sailors for 14 days.

Blessings from Bones
Passage: 2 Kings 13:14-21 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Elisha: Miracle Man Category: Elisha, Miracles, 2 Kings Summary: Everyone has influence, no matter how big or small we perceive ourselves. We all influence someone, and God expects us to be good stewards of that influence for the sake of the Gospel. In 2 Kings 13 we have the record of Elisha’s final moments and his last swan song sermon. He was faithful to God to the very end. In Elisha’s death we learn three lessons about what it means to live a life...

Why Sit Here Till We Die?
Passage: 2 Kings 7:1-17 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Elisha: Miracle Man Category: Elisah, Miracles, 2 Kings Summary: The Syrian army had broken the peace treaty with Israel and laid siege to the capital city of Samaria. Under the oppression of the Syrians, famine and starvation besieged God’s people. When Israel’s situation couldn’t get much darker, a ray of hope dawned from the word of the prophet Elisha. But, the hero of this story isn’t the man of God, it was four lepers whom God used to help deliver...

Seeing the Unseen
Passage: 2 Kings 6:8-23 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Elisha: Miracle Man Category: Elisah, Miracles, 2 Kings Summary: Despite being vastly outnumbered, Elisha won a huge military victory for his people against the Assyrians. As the enemies of Israel surrounded the man of God, the heavenly hosts surrounded Israel’s enemies. By faith he was able to see the unseen.

Recovering Your Spiritual Edge
Passage: 2 Kings 6:1-7 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Elisha: Miracle Man Category: Elisah, Miracles, 2 Kings Summary: If we are all honest, there are times when our passion for God wanes. In those down-times, we aren’t excited about prayer, worship or sharing the Gospel as we once were. In 2 Kings 6, we have recorded one of the most unique miracles wrought by the hands of Elisha. It’s a miracle involving a floating axe head and I think it teaches us four steps of how to recover our spiritual edge.

The Leprosy of Pride
Passage: 2 Kings 5:1-16 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Elisha: Miracle Man Category: Elisah, Miracles, 2 Kings Summary: Naaman is the epitome of a self-made military man. But under the brass and badges was a dead man walking. He had been infected with the dreaded disease of leprosy. But that wasn’t even the worst part. Outwardly, leprosy was eating him alive, and inwardly pride was corrupting his soul. Desperate for a cure, he came seeking Elisha. Naaman almost missed a miracle because of his pride.

When Brokenness Becomes a Blessing
Passage: 2 Kings 4:8-37 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Elisha: Miracle Man Category: Elisah, Miracles, 2 Kings Summary: If there were a Bible character who could identify with the pain of dashed hopes it has to be the Shunammite woman that the prophet Elisha encountered. Her story is found in 2 Kings 4 and its roller coaster ride of emotional and spiritual ups and downs. The Shunammite woman struggled through infertility and the death of a child. Even though she couldn’t see it at the time, she’s a great example of how God...

The Miracle of a Moment
Passage: Galatians 4:4-5 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Christmas 2019 Category: Christmas Summary: Timing was everything some 2,000 years ago when God’s Son quietly arrived on planet earth as an infant. But have you ever wondered, “Why did Jesus come to earth when He did? Why did he come then and not now?” Galatians 4:4-5 explains not only why Jesus came, but why He came the way He did and why He came when He did. In this passage, Paul teaches us three important truths about the advent of Christ.

Passage: Matthew 2:1-18 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Christmas 2019 Category: Christmas Summary: Most of the characters in the Nativity drama behaved like heroes; except for one—the wicked King Herod. He is the original “Grinch” and the man who tried to stop Christmas. In this message, we’re going to better understand why the Gospel of Matthew spends so much time telling his sordid story. In the process, we will learn some insightful truths about the meaning of Christmas.

Passage: 2 Kings 4:1-7 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Elisha: Miracle Man Category: Elisah, Miracles, 2 Kings , Faith Summary: Elisha had just saved three armies from dying of thirst in a desert, and now he turns to help a woman who had just been widowed by the unexpected death of her husband. God can move mountains, split seas and crumble walls, but He also feeds the little sparrows. This episode in Elisha’s ministry teaches us at least three principles about God’s provision.

Oddly enough, this miracle involved the armies of Israel and Judah picking up shovels and digging ditches before they could see God’s deliverance. In this message we are going to learn several lessons about how when we are in a desperate situation, God asks us to obey Him in faith.

Creating Spiritual Legacy
Passage: 2 Kings 2:1-15 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Elisha: Miracle Man Summary: It’s been said that, “The Christian faith is only one generation from extinction.” That’s because the Christian life is a like a relay race in which one generation must pass the baton of God’s truth to the next generation. In 2 Kings 2 we have one of the critical “handoff” moments in the Scriptures. In this miraculous transition between Elijah and Elisah, let’s discover 3 principles about leaving a spiritual legacy.

Passage: 1 Kings 19:19-21 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Elisha: Miracle Man Category: Elisah, Calling, Miracles Summary: Elijah was and is regarded by many as the greatest prophet of the Old Testament. Yet as mighty as his ministry was, Elijah’s career would eventually come to a close. In 1 Kings 19 the Lord gave Elijah specific instructions for his next assignment—“You shall anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat as prophet in your place.” Elisha was handpicked by Elijah to be his successor to the prophetic ministry.

Passage: Revelation 22:6-21 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation Summary: The study of prophecy is not about the accumulation of information. It’s about transformation! If Revelation doesn’t change how you live on a day-to-day basis then we’ve missed the point. Just as the news of an impending storm or the birth of a baby would change your behavior in the present, so too the soon and sudden return of Christ should change how we live in the here and now.

If you take all the positive things about those places and combine them into a super metropolis, they would still pale in comparison to the city that God is preparing for those that love Him.

Passage: Revelation 20:11-15 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation, Eternity Detail: Despite what the world may think or feel about hell, it doesn’t change the fact that the Bible teaches its reality. The last verses of Rev. 20 forms one of the central passages in the Bible concerning the doctrine of hell. It paints a grim courtroom scene where sinners are judged and sentenced to a terrible punishment of a Christ-less eternity. You won’t find a more sobering passage in the Bibl...

In Rev. 20, the Bible describes a thousand-year period in which Jesus will rule the Earth in perfect peace, prosperity and justice.

The world is Christ’s by right of creation—for he made it all. The world is Christ’s by right of Calvary—He redeemed it all. The world is Christ’s by right of Conquest—He will retake it all! In Rev. 19 we discover at least four important attributes concerning the return of Christ.

You talk about a match made in heaven—literally that’s what will happen at the end of Tribulation period when the church is united with Christ in a ceremony that will have no equal.

Chapter 17 focuses on God’s judgment of Babylon’s idolatrous religion, while chapter 18 describes how God brings down Babylon’s commercial and financial sector.

Passage: Revelation 17 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation Summary: Some talking heads have declared that religion is all but dead in our modern world. However, the Bible predicts that during the Tribulation that the Antichrist will create a religious system that will captivate the attention of the whole world. In Revelation 17 we see the emergence of this world religion and how it will deceive many. This religious system is pictured symbolically through graphic imagery—a drunk harlot riding a grotesque beast.

The last 7 that are described in Rev. 16 strike the planet with rapid fire succession and ferocity. Chapters 15 & 16 taken together form a split screen view of the action in heaven and on the earth during this terrible time and you’ll notice that the contrast couldn’t be more drastic!

Their half-hearted approach to Christ made Him sick. In fact, a careful study of this letter shows that Jesus had nothing good to say about the Laodiceans. If Ephesus was loveless and Sardis lifeless, then Laodicea was worthless. As we study the letter to Laodicea, we will find it to be both a megaphone and a mirr...

Much like her sister church at Pergamum, the church at Thyatira lacked discernment, had a love affair with the world, tolerated sin and became “The Immoral Church.” Because the Lord wrote more to this carnal church than the others we’d do well to learn its important lesson—sin and false doctrine are not to b...
