Sermons At IBC, the preaching of the word is
foundational to our mission and ministries and central to our worship.
I consider preaching to be the highest calling and my most vital task
as senior pastor of IBC. As a servant of Christ and one "entrusted with
the secret things of God" I seek to be faithful in this overwhelming
task (1 Corinthians 4:1-2). The sermon manuscripts on this page were written in preparation for the delivery of the sermons, which are preached extemporaneously from an outline, which is supplied to the congregation on Sunday mornings. Because of Sunday morning time limitations and the spontaneity of the moment of delivery, these manuscripts contain information not given in the delivered sermons, such as Scripture and secondary source references and perhaps quotes in full that were abridged in the preached sermon. So, in these manuscripts you can read the longer version! Hopefully these manuscripts will be helpful in your personal study, as you reflect on the sermon and are encouraged to do further study of a certain text or topic, or check out a reference or source of special interest to you. Also, I supply these manuscripts for group studies, such as IBC's home fellowships. Particularly for this study group use I have written questions for reflection and discussion at the end of each sermon. My hope is that home groups that choose to utilize these sermons and questions can thereby interest and engage non-members and even non-believers in attending the worship services at IBC when these sermons are preached. I invite you to contact me with any questions about any of these sermons or with a request for our pastoral care ministry at IBC. In the service of the King, Roger Roberts Winter 2009 sermon series: A Christian
Counter-Culture Thirty years ago, well-known English pastor and theologian, John RW Stott, published his commentary on Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) under the title, “Christian Counter-Culture.” Three decades later, followers of Jesus Christ here in Western Europe find ourselves in a post-Christian culture and are aware as perhaps never before that to follow Jesus Christ as Lord demands that we think and live counter-culturally. As the Lord continues to lead, I will preach during much of Year 2009 from Matthew’s account of Jesus’ teachings to his disciples on a counter-cultural life that pleases God and also makes a difference in this fallen world. I pray that you will join me as we together seek to examine what Jesus tells us about such an amazing life. And by the way, a counter-cultural life described in the Sermon on the Mount, depends absolutely on the power of the Holy Spirit. May God enable us to live such a life in 2009!
