    John 3:1–15 – Have You Been Born Again?
    May 3 2026
    In John 3:1–15, Jesus tells Nicodemus that religious knowledge, morality, status, and good works are not enough to enter the kingdom of God. Even this respected Pharisee needed what every sinner needs: to be born again. This sermon explains that the new birth is not self-improvement or outward religious behavior. It is a sovereign work of God where he gives a person a new heart, cleanses them from sin, and brings them from spiritual death to life.

    Luke 9:23-26 – What Jesus Actually Meant by “Disciple”
    Apr 26 2026
    What does it really mean to follow Jesus? In Luke 9:23–26, Jesus makes it clear that discipleship isn’t about adding Him to your life, it’s about surrendering your life completely. This sermon explores the true cost of following Christ: denying yourself, taking up your cross daily, and living in obedience to Him. While the world tells us to chase comfort and success, Jesus presents a paradox, real life is only found when we give ours away.

    John 2:23–25 – Belief That Doesn’t Save
    Apr 19 2026
    Not all belief in Jesus is saving faith. In John 2:23–25, we see a crowd that is impressed by Jesus but not transformed by Him. They believe because of what they see, but their hearts remain unchanged. Jesus is not fooled by outward excitement or religious appearance, He knows what’s truly inside us. Real faith isn’t about being impressed, it’s about being changed. This sermon calls us to move beyond casual belief and come honestly to Christ, asking Him to The post John 2:23–25 – Belief That Doesn’t Save appeared first on Island Pond Baptist Church.

    Luke 6:46-49 – The Dangers of Casual Christianity
    Apr 12 2026
    In this message from Luke 6:46–49, we confront a sobering question from Jesus: Why call Him “Lord” but not obey Him? This sermon exposes the danger of casual Christianity, a faith that hears but does not act. Through vivid illustrations and Jesus’ parable of the two builders, we are challenged to examine whether our lives are built on the solid rock of obedience or the shifting sand of empty profession. Real faith isn’t just knowing, it’s coming, hearing, and doing. The post Luke 6:46-49 – The Dangers of Casual Christianity appeared first on Island Pond Baptist Church.

    John 12:12-19 – The Misunderstood King
    Mar 29 2026
    On Palm Sunday, the crowds celebrated Jesus, but they misunderstood Him. They wanted a political savior, but Jesus came as a humble King to save them from sin. In this message from John 12:12–19, we see how easily people can misinterpret who Jesus is, follow Him for the wrong reasons, or shape Him into their own expectations. This sermon challenges us to worship Jesus for who He truly is, trust Him even when we don’t understand, and follow Him with The post John 12:12-19 – The Misunderstood King appeared first on Island Pond Baptist Church.

    How do you finish the Christian life well? In 2 Timothy 4:1–8, Paul writes his final words before his death and urges believers to live faithfully in light of Christ’s return. Christians are called to live with the awareness that Christ is the judge, to receive God’s truth even when it is difficult, to remain faithful through hardship, and to persevere until the end. The goal of the Christian life is not simply to start strong but to finish well. The post 2 Timothy 4:1-8 – Finish the Race Faithfully appeared first on Island Pond Baptist Church.
