Glendon Thompson Sermons

While some scoff at the concept of faith, most people demonstrate some form of faith in everyday life. While we make many daily decisions on faith, trusting that the desired outcome will occur, we are often reluctant to trust in God. 

A sermon from Mark 1:14–15.

Many of our successes in life can be attributed to the help of others along the way. Where we have arrived, we hardly have done so on our own, but by the sacrifices of others. We are grateful to those parents, teachers, and benefactors, but we must be infinitely more grateful to the Lord Jesus Christ, who made a sacrifice that transcends all others. 

A sermon from Hebrews 10:1–14.

The Odyssey is a tale of a journey of human conquest, persistence, and struggle against great obstacles. But the greatest story of a journey is Israel's 40 years wandering in the wilderness. It is a journey not in which one man or nation receives praise, but in which God is the hero, for it is God who sustains Israel for 40 years in the wilderness and brings them into the promised land. 

A sermon from Numbers 20:1–13.

Most of us have been conditioned to think in material terms. We believe in the tangible, things we can see and touch. And yet there is another dimension to life. An invisible dimension beyond human understanding, that is nevertheless as real as the material world in which we live. 

"And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!" 2 Timothy 1:18

A sermon from 2 Timothy 4:9–22.

Most of us will never have to lose our lives for our faith, but all of us are called upon to be faithful in our witness to Jesus Christ whatever the cost. It is this theme of faithfulness to Christ that drives the final chapter Paul's second epistle to Timothy. 

"But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry." 2 Timothy 4:5

A sermon from 2 Timothy 4:1–7

Continuing with the theme of being clothed with Christ, we look at Galatians 4. The New Testament in its united witness teaches that Jesus is the pattern of life. If we wish to know how to live, the answer is found in Jesus Christ because he is the pattern of our lives. 

A sermon from Galatians 4:4–20.

"But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all."

A sermon from Colossians 3:1–15.

There are a wide range of experts who give us advice on what to wear and what the latest fads are. Fashion comes and goes, but there is one fashion that remains the same: we are to clothe ourselves in the Lord Jesus Christ. 

"But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts."

Romans 13:14

Jesus is a superior High Priest, because he serves in a superior place. He is seated at the right hand of the throne of the majesty in the heavens. Jesus carries out his ministry at the right hand of God, which is the true tabernacle. The tabernacle on earth, in which the Levitical priests served, was a shadow, or a type of the real tabernacle. 

A sermon from Hebrews 8:6–12.

 

 

“For behold, the day is coming,
Burning like an oven,
And all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble.
And the day which is coming shall burn them up,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
“That will leave them neither root nor branch.
But to you who fear My name
The Sun of Righteousness shall arise
With healing in His wings;
And you shall go out
And grow fat like stall-fed calves.
You shall trample the wicked,
For they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet
On the day that I do this,”
Says the Lord of hosts.

A sermon from Malachi 4:1–6.
