Outstanding Provision
Sun, Sep 17, 2023
by
Tim Sprankle
Passage:
1 Kings 16:23-17:24
&
Ephesians 3:20-21
Series:
Oustanding Faith: Stories of Elijah and Elisha
Duration:
44 mins 47 secs
When famine comes, feasting ceases. Drought brings desperation. These are the conditions when Elijah the prophet bursts onto the scene. This man of God says and does outstanding things in service of Yahweh. In his premier, he denounces king Ahab, predicts a long drought, manufactures food for a widow, and raises her only son from dead. Each outstanding act showcases the power and provision of our God, who is able to do more than we could ever ask.

Discipleship Panel
Sun, Sep 10, 2023
Series:
All Ears: Responding to the Teachings of Jesus
Duration:
45 mins 4 secs
Instead of a sermon, we hear from three people from Leesburg Grace reflect on their discipleship to Jesus. The panelists will talk about our their salvation story, our recent sermon series, following Jesus in their life phase, and the people and practices that fuel their faith. Hopefully, their responses will both encourage you and prompt self-reflection about your discipleship.

Messy People (Part 2)
Sun, Sep 03, 2023
by
Tim Sprankle
Passage:
Matthew 18:21-35
Series:
All Ears: Responding to the Teachings of Jesus
Duration:
44 mins 34 secs
People are messy. We can try to reform them through structures; however, structures get too strict. We also need grace. One of the greatest acts of grace is forgiveness. This sermon will interact with Jesus's teaching about God's amazing grace and the critical but complex nature of forgiveness.

Messy People (Part 1)
Sun, Aug 27, 2023
by
Tim Sprankle
Passage:
Matthew 18:1-20
Series:
All Ears: Responding to the Teachings of Jesus
Duration:
40 mins 20 secs
People are messy. This applies to the church. God's people are not immune to sin. We think too highly of ourselves. We create stumbling blocks for ourselves and others. We wander. Hence, Jesus envisioned the church as a community of correction and exhortation. We confront others without accusing them. We insist on holiness. This is called church discipline. It has formative and corrective applications. It helps bring structure where messes abound. (NOTE: Around 34:40, the audio dropped out. Part of the sermon was lost. The quality of the last five minutes of the recording is not as good.)

Costly Confession
Sun, Aug 20, 2023
by
Tim Sprankle
Passage:
Matthew 16:13-28
Series:
All Ears: Responding to the Teachings of Jesus
The call to discipleship is costly. Jesus said this clearly. His first followers lived this reality. In the 2000 year history of the church, disciples have lost rights, comforts, and their very lives. Confessing Jesus as the Christ, Son of God, and Lord has consequences. But with this confession comes a spiritual community, mission, and eternal reward. Is it worth it? Absolutely. (NOTE: There is a deliberate break in the sermon. When it resumes, the lapel microphone has cut out, so the quality of the last 10 minutes is poor.)

Dogged Faith
Sun, Aug 13, 2023
by
Tim Sprankle
Passage:
Matthew 15:21-28
Series:
All Ears: Responding to the Teachings of Jesus
Duration:
44 mins 15 secs
Dogged faith is gritty, resilient, and enduring. It pushes through resistance and past prejudice. A profound example of such faith was the Canaanite woman with a demon-possessed child. Her desperate situation drove her to Jesus. She begged him for healing, despite the disciples efforts to dismiss her. Her dogged faith impressed Jesus. In our "age of overwhelm" we need dogged faith to endure.

Better Lives
Sun, Aug 06, 2023
by
Tim Sprankle
Passage:
Matthew 15:1-20
&
Matthew 5:17-48
Series:
All Ears: Responding to the Teachings of Jesus
Duration:
45 mins 1 sec
Religion doesn't make us better. Rules don't make us better. Tradition doesn't make us better. To live better lives, we don't need more laws, we need changed hearts. Jesus taught this principle when responding to the Pharisees' question about handwashing in Matthew 15. This sermon will reflect on that passage.

Passage:
Matthew 13:1-23
&
Isaiah 6:9-10
Series:
All Ears: Responding to the Teachings of Jesus
Duration:
48 mins 39 secs
Jesus has good things to say. He has hard things to say. His teachings provide insight on living as his disciples. A key quality of faithful followers is to listen well. This means sorting through deception, clearing the distractions, and putting his words into action.

Final Destination
Sun, Jul 16, 2023
by
Tim Sprankle
Passage:
Genesis 23:1-21
&
Genesis 25:1-11
Series:
Milestones: Abraham and the Journey of Faith
Duration:
42 mins 46 secs
All good things come to an end. Abraham's journey -- launch, construction zones, dark nights, milestones, and detours -- reaches it final chapters. He buries his beloved bride Sarah. He finds a bride for his beloved son Isaac. He expands his family through a second marriage. Then he dies, and his sons bury him beside Sarah in the family tomb. None of us can escape death. It is the final destination. We can deny it, fear it, or face it with hope knowing it is only the beginning of eternal life with God.
