Sermons by Rev. Lloyd Pierson Ph.D.
God Will Provide
Mark chapter 16. We’re going to start with the traditional Easter text this morning, but the plan is to look back through the Bible to see how all of these dots connect. And as we look to the reading of God’s Word, if you join with me in prayer. Blessed are you, Holy God, in Jesus Christ. Your light shines in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overcome it.…
The King of Glory
Beginning in verse 1. Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, ‘Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you’ll find a donkey tied and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, “The Lord needs…
Providence Lived Out
Revelation chapter 9 and 10. One writer reminds us that Revelation is a picture book and not a puzzle book. It’s not an allegory that must be decoded before we can understand it, but the experience itself tells us what it means. So with that in mind, we’re going to look to the experience of what is being said to us. That we would be able to understand and to…
Breaking the Seals
Revelation 6. We saw last week, the lion of Judah comes forward to take the scroll. To our great surprise, we find that the lion is a lamb, and he alone is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll. God’s redemptive plan for the world, sealed inside, is now released because of Jesus. We look to the reading of God’s word if you join with me in prayer.…
The Diverse Excellencies of Christ
I’ve taken the title of the sermon from Jonathan Edwards, who in 1738, he wrote, There’s an admirable conjunction of diverse excellencies in Jesus Christ. It’s quite a mouthful. In Jesus, there is a coming together, a conjunction of excellent qualities we admire that are different and wonderful. An admirable conjunction of diverse excellencies. We look…
To the Churches
Today, we look at the seven letters or messages to the seven churches. In the future, we are likely going to have a series dedicated to these individual letters. But for now, we’re going to step back and consider them as a whole and how they fit into the overall message of Revelation. We look to the reading of God’s word if you would join with me in prayer.…
The Son of Man
In verses 9 through 20, we look to the reading God’s word if you join with me in prayer. Father of all mercies, in your word, your endless glory shine forth. And we ask them that you would reveal them to us this day, that you would do so through the wonderful working of your spirit, that your words of life would continue to transform us, that we may reflect the…
The Revelation of Jesus Christ
This morning, we start a new series in the Book of Revelation. In the outset, we see that Jesus is both the one who reveals and he is that which is revealed. As we look to the reading of God’s word, if you please join with me in prayer. Most gracious God, our heavenly Father, in you alone, well all the fullness of light and wisdom. We ask then that you would…
Ministry is Messy
The Gospel of Matthew. We’re looking at Chapters 9 and Chapter 11. In two weeks, we start the Book of Revelation. In between here and there, a couple of topical sermons in the meantime. Today, we consider the messiness of ministering to sinners. We look to the reading of God’s word. If you please join with me in prayer. Our most gracious God, our heavenly…
To Know God
From the Greek word for knowledge, epistome, we get the term epistemology, which is one of those very large and intimidating words which just simply means the study or the theory of how we know. It’s the heart of knowing anything. For most of us, we basically just go through life with a rudimentary understanding without without truly knowing the details. Gravity is…
