Sermons from April 2026
One God and Father of All
Ephesians 4:6 God unites Jewish and Gentile believers through the Spirit, guiding how they handle disagreements and “gray areas” with faith and love. Pastor Rod Bunton emphasizes that there is one God and Father of the redeemed who is sovereign over all, works through believers, and dwells in them.
One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism
Ephesians 4:5 Paul teaches the unity and exclusive allegiance that marks Christians: one Lord, one shared faith, and one baptism. Pastor Rod Bunton emphasizes that Jesus Christ alone is Lord, that “the faith” is the common doctrine of salvation, and that baptism signifies belonging to Christ and calls believers to obedience.
The Basis for Unity
Ephesians 4:4 Paul tells us that Christian unity is grounded in the shared realities believers have in Christ: one body, one Spirit, and one certain hope. Pastor Rod Bunton emphasized how this oneness centers on the Trinity and is lived out through the worldwide church as one body, the Spirit’s uniting work in salvation and sanctification, and confidence in Christ’s return.
The First Christian Sermon
Acts 2:22-41 Acts 2:22–41 records Peter’s Pentecost sermon, proclaiming Jesus’ death and resurrection as God’s promised plan and calling hearers to repent and believe. Pastor Rod Bunton highlighted how Peter grounds the message in fulfilled prophecy, eyewitness testimony, and Jesus’ exaltation as Lord and Christ, then presses the response of repentance that led to about three thousand being saved.
