Sermons from Seven Mile Road Church in Waltham Seven Mile Road Church (Waltham)

In the first sermon of our 1 Thessalonians series, Pastor Clint walks us through Acts 17:1-9 and 1 Thessalonians 1:1 drawing out the background of the letter and showing how the church at Thessalonica, just like any true church today, is a COMMUNITY born out of God's MISSION and rooted in the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ.

In our final sermon in the Book of Exodus, Pastor Clint looks at Chapters 35-40 and Ephesians 2:13-22. The Tabernacle served as the earthly dwelling place of God among His people, where His presence dwelled. Through Christ, God's ultimate presence among humanity is realized, as Jesus becomes the mediator between God and humanity, fulfilling the Tabernacle's purpose. Jesus' sacrificial death and resurrection establish a new covenant, where the church becomes 'The household of God', embodying God's presence in the world.

Pastor Kevin walks thru Exodus 34:10-35. After renewing the covenant and coming down from the mountain, Moses' face shines with the brightness of God's glory. It is evident that Moses has been in the presence of God. In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul reflects on this passage, telling us that the ministry of the new covenant is far better than the covenant with Moses (2 Cor. 3:7–11). The incredible reality of the gospel is that we behold the glory of the Lord so that we may be transformed from glory to glory (2 Cor. 3:16–18).

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Exodus 33-34. God promises to guide the Israelites to the Promised Land but warns them of the consequences of disobedience. Because of their idolatry, God will not go with them. Moses intercedes on behalf of the people, seeking God's presence and favor. God agrees to accompany them, revealing His glory to Moses. Here, Moses the intercessor points us to Christ, who ever lives and pleads for us, ensuring God's presence with believers and revealing the glory of God in the gospel.

In this Easter Sunday Sermon Pastor Clint walks us through Exodus 32. This chapter recounts the Israelites' idolatry in the form of a golden calf. Like the Israelites, all of us stray from God's commands and embrace sin. The resurrection of Jesus offers redemption and forgiveness for humanity's disobedience, fulfilling the promise of a new covenant and restoring the relationship between God and humanity through Christ our Mediator. Through Jesus' resurrection, believers find hope for eternal life and reconciliation with God, echoing the theme of redemption amidst human failure seen in Exodus 32

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Exodus 28 & 29. This passage details God's instructions for the design of priestly garments, the consecration of priests, and the construction of the tabernacle. These chapters emphasize the significance of holiness in worship and the importance of the priesthood as mediators between God and the people. Christ's role as the ultimate High Priest is foreshadowed in these instructions, as he offers himself as the perfect sacrifice for our sins and serves as the ultimate mediator between God and humanity.
