Steve Reeves preaches from John 11 on the raising of Lazarus, focusing on Jesus' question to Martha, "Do you believe this?" He explains that believing on Christ means living each day for eternal life, not merely believing in a future resurrection, and applies this through several New Testament examples of faith in action.

Reagan McClenny preaches from Luke 15:11-24 on "the prodigal sequence," tracing the movement from son to sinner to swine to servant and back to son as a picture of mankind's fall and restoration through repentance. He applies the parable both universally, to the redemption story of mankind, and personally, urging hearers to return to God as the father who is watching and waiting to restore them.

Preston Nichols preaches on Psalm 102:1 and other Psalms, teaching why Christians should pray the Psalms—they prepare us to answer God, connect us with God's people, and shape daily prayer rhythms. He then models this by leading the congregation in praying Psalm 6 together before the invitation.

Reagan McClenny preaches from 1 Samuel 28 on Saul's visit to the medium at En Dor, exploring the meanings of Saul's and Samuel's names ("ask" and "asked of God") to teach about truly inquiring of the Lord.

Reagan McClenny preaches from 1 Peter 2:4-10, using the imagery of the Herodian Temple's stones to show how Christians are living stones being built into God's spiritual house. He highlights three parallels: Christians are like Christ the cornerstone, like living stones made alive by God, and part of an ongoing building project meant to grow stronger through trials.

Reagan McClenny preaches from Ephesians 1:20-23 and related texts to clarify the biblical meaning of "church," distinguishing the universal church (the body of Christ, all the saved) from local churches. He uses charts contrasting these with denominational and Catholic models, urging hearers to be certain their names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

Preston Nichols preaches from Ephesians 2:19-22, tracing the biblical theme of the tabernacle/temple as God's dwelling place from Exodus through Revelation.

Reagan McClenny examines the six New Testament passages that explicitly mention baptism of the Holy Spirit, from John's prophecy through its fulfillment in Acts 2 and Acts 10-11. He argues that only the apostles (and later Cornelius's household as a unique confirming sign) received this baptism, distinguishing it from being "filled with the Holy Spirit" and from spiritual baptism into Christ. Speaker: Reagan McClenny · Scripture: Mt 3:11 Video and transcript: https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/baptism-of-the-holy-spirit

Reagan McClenny preaches from Matthew 9 and parallel accounts in Mark 5 and Luke 8, contrasting the fickle, thronging crowds who followed Jesus with individuals like Jairus, the woman with the issue of blood, and the two blind men who came to Him in persistent, helpless faith. He applies this to encourage believers to be persistent and helpless in seeking Christ rather than being swayed by crowd opinion. Speaker: Reagan McClenny · Scripture: Mt 9:18-36 Video and transcript: https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/jesus-and-the-crowds

Brent Moody preaches from Philemon and related passages on preserving fellowship, urging Christians to slow down and discern whether an offense truly needs confrontation. He offers questions—understanding the facts, examining motives, and asking what love requires—to help distinguish "mountains" worth addressing from "molehills" better overlooked. Speaker: Brent Moody · Scripture: Phi 17-19 Video and transcript: https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/preserving-fellowship-mountains-molehills

Brent Moody preaches from Philemon 20, exploring how restoring trust after forgiveness requires ongoing practice of forgiveness, bearing fruit worthy of repentance, and protecting the healing process from gossip and meddling. He draws on Philemon and Onesimus, the prodigal son, and the unforgiving servant to illustrate genuine reconciliation. Speaker: Brent Moody · Scripture: Phi 20 Video and transcript: https://www.timberlandchurch.org/sermons/preserving-fellowship-restoring-trust

Brent Moody preaches from the book of Philemon, focusing on Paul's role as a mediator who reconciles Philemon and Onesimus.
