    2 Timothy 1:8-18 – I’m Not Ashamed

    Fear makes it easy to stay quiet about our faith, but silence always costs something. In this passage, Paul shows Timothy that believers can respond to pressure in two very different ways: by being ashamed of the gospel or by standing unashamed. Some abandoned Paul because following Jesus had become risky. Others leaned in, suffered with him, and stayed faithful. Paul reminds us that the gospel is worth defending, worth suffering for, and worth living out because Jesus has saved The post 2 Timothy 1:8-18 – I’m Not Ashamed appeared first on Island Pond Baptist Church.

    2 Timothy 1:1-7 – When It’s Out Of Your Control

    When life feels out of control, it’s easy to freeze, despair, or try to fix everything ourselves. In this sermon from 2 Timothy 1:1–7, we look at how Paul responds to overwhelming circumstances while imprisoned and facing death. Rather than giving in to fear or helplessness, Paul models a better way: trusting God’s promises, doing what he can, practicing gratitude, relying on the Spirit, and praying constantly. This message reminds us that even when situations are beyond our control, we The post 2 Timothy 1:1-7 – When It’s Out Of Your Control appeared first on Island Pond Baptist Church.

    Matthew 28:18-20 – Our 2026 Vision

    In this message, we pause to look ahead and clarify where Island Pond Baptist Church is going in 2026. Rooted in Jesus’ command in Matthew 28, the sermon reminds us that our mission never changes: we exist to make disciples. From that unchanging mission flows a practical, flexible vision for the year ahead, centered on three priorities—Gather, Grow, and Go. Together, these guide how we worship, mature spiritually, and engage our community so that more lives are changed by the The post Matthew 28:18-20 – Our 2026 Vision appeared first on Island Pond Baptist Church.

    Luke 2:8-14 – Glory In The Highest

    Christmas often comes with stress, exhaustion, and a sense of spiritual breathlessness, but Luke 2 reminds us that God meets us right in the middle of the mess. Instead of announcing the birth of Jesus to the powerful or impressive, God reveals his glory to lowly shepherds, showing that the gospel is for the weary, the overlooked, and the unworthy. Jesus enters the world humbly in a manger, proving we do not have to clean ourselves up before coming to The post Luke 2:8-14 – Glory In The Highest appeared first on Island Pond Baptist Church.

    Luke 1:46-55 – The Song Of A Praising Heart

    In Luke 1, Mary shows us that real praise is bigger than singing songs. Praise begins with faith in what God has said, not just feelings in the moment. Mary trusts God’s word when it upends her life, rejoices in “God my Savior,” celebrates God’s mercy, strength, justice, and care, and remembers that God keeps his promises all the way back to Abraham. This sermon calls us to respond to Christmas with more than seasonal sentiment, by living a life The post Luke 1:46-55 – The Song Of A Praising Heart appeared first on Island Pond Baptist Church.

    Revelation 5:1-14 – Christmas: Endgame

    Christmas is not just about a baby in a manger, it is the opening move in God’s ultimate endgame. In Revelation 5 we see Jesus as both the Lion of Judah and the slain Lamb who alone is worthy to take the scroll, carry out God’s final plan, judge evil, and redeem His people. This message calls us to see Christmas through the lens of heaven’s worship scene and to respond with deeper repentance, faith, and wholehearted praise.

    Isaiah 9:2-7 – Light Piercing The Darkness

    Isaiah 9 shows a people living in deep spiritual darkness, blind, enslaved, and hopeless, until God shines a great light into their world. That light is a child, a Son, given to us: Jesus Christ, who shatters the darkness and brings joy, freedom, and victory. As the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace, he breaks the chains we cannot break ourselves. This sermon calls us to step out of darkness, embrace the Savior who has come, The post Isaiah 9:2-7 – Light Piercing The Darkness appeared first on Island Pond Baptist Church.

    1 Timothy 6:11-21 – Wartime Living

    Following Paul’s closing words in 1 Timothy 6:11–21, this message reminds us that the Christian life is not peacetime but a real spiritual war. Believers are called to flee sin, actively pursue righteousness and godliness, and “fight the good fight of the faith” by clinging to the eternal life already given in Christ. Paul also warns against trusting in wealth and urges generous, kingdom-minded giving that stores up eternal treasure. Finally, we’re challenged to guard the gospel deposit entrusted to The post 1 Timothy 6:11-21 – Wartime Living appeared first on Island Pond Baptist Church.

    1 Timothy 6:3-10 – The Love of Money

    This message warns how the love of money can quietly pull our hearts away from Jesus and destroy our lives. Using Paul’s words in 1 Timothy 6, we see a profile of false teachers who are driven by pride, controversy, and a desire to use “godliness” as a way to get rich. Paul doesn’t say money itself is evil, but that craving it turns it into an idol that leads to ruin. In contrast, believers are called to the freedom The post 1 Timothy 6:3-10 – The Love of Money appeared first on Island Pond Baptist Church.
