Experimental Sermons PodcastThe Virgin’s SilenceWe love the gentle virgin mother at Christmas—yet her pregnancy looked like the result of adultery deserving death. Mary chose courageous silence, trusting God to vindicate her. Joseph learned restraint. We, however, stay shamefully silent while evil festers and innocent blood cries out.But God refuses our quiet compromise. He gives us the sign of the Virgin and the counsel of Emmanuel, calling us to an obedience that may cost us comfort—yet promises hope.This Sunday, hear how the God who reigns over nations offers renewal to a spoiled Connecticut vine and a judg...

Experimental Sermons PodcastThe Season of the AxeAdvent is not a season of sentimental carols; it is a season of the axe and the winnowing fork. Isaiah 11 declares that the same gentle shoot from Jesse’s stump will one day strike the earth with the rod of His mouth and slay the wicked with His breath. The wolf does not yet lie down with the lamb, the nations are still groping in darkness, and the visible Church is riddled with idols and false teachers. Yet right now, in verse 10, the Root of Jesse stands as an ensign—and the nations are supposed to seek Him through a ho...

Experimental Sermons PodcastWake Up, Woodbury!When the second rainbow flag went up on Main Street this year, I stopped walking my dog down that street. I know where that road leads. This Advent 1 sermon (“Wake Up, Woodbury! The Ark on Main Street”) is my plain-spoken plea to a town I have come to love: the same moral rot that brought the flood in Noah’s day is now flying proudly over two of our churches, and most of Woodbury is still asleep. Using Isaiah’s vision, Paul’s wake-up call in Romans 13, and Jesus’ chilling words in Matthew 24, I refuse to let us drift comfortably...

Experimental Sermons PodcastThe Great ReconquestIn this sermon for the Feast of Christ the King, we strip away the comforting lies and face the terrifying truth: sin is only the husk God always planned to tear off at the cross. We discover why the same voice that scares hell out of the unrepentant thief is the voice that lets the repentant one breathe free in Paradise — and why, as long as Christ reigns, neither the Church nor Christian civilization has to die.Stay Connected:Follow Pastor Dell on X at https://x.com/jakedell73.Subscribe to Experimental Sermons at...

Experimental Sermons PodcastWorship, Politics, and the CovenantJesus, the Holy Seed, restores us—dead branches—into His living vine, calling the church to a faith that is not just spiritual but political, public, and covenantal. Today, we explore what happens when that organic unity is threatened, particularly in the political realm, and how our worship must shape both our lives and the world.Download the sermon handout here.Stay Connected:Follow Pastor Jake on X at https://x.com/jakedell73.Subscribe to Experimental Sermons at https://jwdell.substack.com/.Join us for Sunday worship at https://firs...

Experimental Sermons PodcastGlory and Failure in Ministry“The Holy Seed” picks up where “Operation Reconquista” left off. That series ended with two lingering questions: Who is the “holy seed,” the stump of Isaiah 6:13 that God promises to replant? And what about the “dead branches,” the unfruitful wood destined for the fire of judgment? This series will look for answers in Scripture, week by week, starting today with a hard look at ministries that fail.Stay Connected:Follow Pastor Jake on X at https://x.com/jakedell73.Subscribe to Experimental Sermons at https://jwdell.substack.com/.Join us for Sunday worship a...

Experimental Sermons PodcastOperation Reconquista: Part 2Summary:In part two of the "Operation Reconquista" sermon series, Pastor Jake addresses the alarming decline of mainline Protestant churches, particularly the United Church of Christ and the Episcopal Church. The sermon reflects on how this decline, while long-standing, appears to be accelerating. Pastor Jake argues that this collapse is not only a result of demographic shifts but also of God's judgment due to the churches' separation of God from His word. Influenced by man-made interpretations and ideologies, these churches have distorted the truth of Scripture, leading them to invite God's judgment.The sermon explores...

Experimental Sermons PodcastOperation Reconquista: Part 1In the first sermon of the series “Operation Reconquista,” Pastor Jake explores the controversy surrounding the National Day of Prayer Service at the National Cathedral and draws connections to a larger issue within the mainline Protestant churches in America. He introduces the concept of “Reconquista” as a return to biblical roots, drawing parallels to the historical Reconquista of Spain. The sermon touches on the modern movement led by Redeemed Zoomer, who calls for a revival of mainline churches by pushing out progressive ideologies and reclaiming the churches for traditional biblical teachings. Pastor Jake emphasizes that the goal is not to assig...

Experimental Sermons PodcastWhen the Wine Gave OutThe miracle at Cana means two things. First, the wedding feast can continue. Second, the disciples who followed Jesus start to see the “greater things” Jesus promised they would see.Purification is required before sacrifice can take place. At the beginning of His ministry, Jesus blesses the wedding guests with wine of His own making drawn from pure vessels.For Christians today, faith often begins with a blessing, a foretaste of eternal life, followed by a dry spell, a time of testing, followed by consummation, a time of delight.Jesus bestows His glory on t...

Experimental Sermons PodcastRedemptionSince John preached “only” a baptism of repentance, the people were hoping they could “get off easy” with a few superficial changes to their lives. Instead, John assures them that the real judge (the one who “will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire”) is still to come.People are afraid to change, especially when what they need to change has become a sinful habit. The fact of divine redemption requires a real change in us. The fact that Jesus is revealed as the Messiah means that change must happen now.In Luke 3:22, God the Fath...
