Coram Deo Church Sermons

Discipleship in the 21st Century: Devotion | Deuteronomy 10:12-20

The mission of every church and every Christian is to make disciples of Jesus. But in a culture where we are told endless choices lead to more freedom, it is easier to be devoted to other things besides Jesus. In this sermon, we consider the simple truth that discipleship to Jesus requires devotion - and only by devoting our whole being to Christ can we experience true freedom.

Discipleship in the 21st Century: Death | Galatians 2:20

The mission of every church and every Christian is to make disciples of Jesus. But in a culture where self-expression is the highest good and building one's own identity is seen as the path to fulfillment, what does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? In this sermon, we consider the simple truth that discipleship to Jesus requires death - and only by dying can we truly live.

Satisfaction Guaranteed | Psalm 63

Human beings seek satisfaction. The only question is: where? In a world where everyone is searching for satisfaction, Psalm 63 gives a vision of what it looks like for our souls to be satisfied in God.

The Waiting is the Hardest Part | Psalm 62

Waiting and hope go together. Hoping in God means waiting on Him - and that can be difficult when God seems absent, distant, or slow to act. But Psalm 62 reminds us that God is a better hope, and that trusting and waiting on Him is worth it.

When My Heart is Overwhelmed | Psalm 61

“When I am overwhelmed," says the text of Psalm 61. When, not if. We WILL be overwhelmed; the question is, where will we go? Psalm 61 invites God's people to turn to him, remembering his presence and his promises and trusting in the King who is "enthroned forever."

Look & Listen | Psalm 60

Rejection. It’s something every human being has experienced (or will). But where do we turn when it seems like God has rejected us? Psalm 60 calls God's people to look to what God has done and to listen to what God has said.

God’s Triumph Changes Everything | Psalm 59

One of the fundamental truths of the Christian faith is that God is triumphant over all. But when you look out at the world, it does not seem like God is triumphant. Psalm 59 invites God’s people to see how God’s triumph changes everything, from how we live to how we suffer.

Pray What’s True | Psalm 58

God is a judge. This is good news and not something Christians should be ashamed of. Psalm 58 highlights the need, longing, and the good news of what it means for God to be judge.

I Will Because God Will | Psalm 57

Discipleship to Jesus requires grit and perseverance. But in our cultural moment, it can be easy to settle for what feels good or is convenient. Psalm 57 challenges God's people to live a life that intentionally chooses and says "I will" to God. Yet at the same time, the only reason we are able to say "I will" is because of God's steadfast love.

Come & See | Psalm 66

Psalm 66 is a song of vibrant praise and reminds God's people of the good things God has done. In a time when it is easy to look to other things besides God and his Word, Psalm 66 reorients the people of God to more resounding praise and honor of God, the thing we need most.
