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
