Regeneration: New Life in Christ

In this powerful message from John 3:1–21, Dr. Robert C. Crowder explores Jesus’ nighttime encounter with Nicodemus and the life-altering doctrine of regeneration. More than a moral improvement or a religious reform, regeneration is a supernatural, Spirit-wrought transformation that brings spiritual life to the spiritually dead. Without it, no one can see the kingdom of God. This sermon walks through the necessity, means, object, and result of the new birth, calling every listener to examine their heart and ask: ā€œHave…

The Sounds of That Resurrection Morning

April 20, 2025. Easter. Dr. Crowder reflects on the sounds of the resurrection morning. Silence has a way of settling over a cemetery. If you’ve ever stood at the graveside of a loved one, you know that stillness. The only sounds might be the wind rustling through the trees… maybe the creaking of an old gate… or the soft footsteps of mourners walking away. For the followers of Jesus Christ, early that Sunday morning, the world must have felt painfully…

Propitiation: The Satisfaction of God’s Wrath

This is the third sermon from the series The Work of God in the Believer’s Life.

Drawing from 1 John 2:1-2 and Romans 3:23-25, this message reveals the weight of sin, the justice of God, and the mercy made available through Christ. As we prepare our hearts for the Lord’s Supper, we are reminded that God’s wrath was not…

Condemnation: The Reality of Sin

This message confronts the sobering truth that all have sinned and fall short of God’s glory.

Creation: The Beginning of God’s Plan

March 16th, 2025. Creation is not just the starting point of the Bible—it is the foundation of everything we believe. Genesis 1:1 declares that God created the heavens and the earth, and John 1:1-3 reveals that Christ Himself was present in the beginning, bringing all things into existence. If we remove God as Creator, we lose the very structure that holds the Gospel together. In Creation: The Beginning of God’s Plan, Dr. Robert C. Crowder explores the theological, moral, and…

A New Commandment

In the closing hours before His crucifixion, Jesus imparts a profound and significant commandment to His disciples—one that embodies the essence of His ministry and the centerpiece of His message. Within the verses of John 13:31-35, we find not only a command but a challenge– a call to exemplify the love that Christ demonstrated throughout His earthly ministry. This love, is to serve as a distinctive characteristic of their faith and a testimony to the world.

Come And See the Missionary Calling

John and his disciples were together one day when suddenly John declares, ā€œBehold the Lamb of God!ā€
