    John 15:1-11 – Abiding In Christ
    Jun 14 2026
    In John 15:1-11, Jesus teaches that he is the true vine and his followers are the branches. Real faith is not merely knowing about Jesus, attending church, or being near spiritual things. Real faith abides in Christ. As believers remain connected to Jesus through his Word, obedience, love, and dependence on him, his life begins to produce fruit in them. This sermon calls us to examine what our lives are producing, turn from the bad fruit of sin, and look The post John 15:1-11 – Abiding In Christ appeared first on Island Pond Baptist Church.

  • Romans 12:1-2 – Living A Life Of Worship

    Romans 12:1-2 – Living A Life Of Worship
    May 31 2026
    Real faith does not reduce worship to singing, church attendance, or a Sunday morning feeling. In Romans 12:1-2, Paul shows that true worship is a whole-life response to the mercy God has shown us in Christ. Because Jesus gave himself for us, Christians are called to offer their bodies, minds, habits, choices, and daily lives back to God. This kind of worship requires both renewing our minds with God’s truth and guarding our minds from the patterns of the world.

  • Matthew 4:18-22 – Real Faith Follows

    Matthew 4:18-22 – Real Faith Follows
    May 24 2026
    Real faith is not merely saying the right words, praying a prayer, or attending church occasionally. Real faith produces real evidence because it comes from a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ. In Matthew 4:18–22, Jesus calls his first disciples with the simple command, “Follow me,” showing that true discipleship involves both action and direction. To follow Jesus means obeying what he says, listening to his Word, and loving him above everything else. While Christians will never obey perfectly, there is The post Matthew 4:18-22 – Real Faith Follows appeared first on Island Pond Baptist Church.

  • Hebrews 5:11-6:3 – Why So Many Stay Stuck

    Hebrews 5:11-6:3 – Why So Many Stay Stuck
    May 17 2026
    Spiritual growth does not happen automatically. In Hebrews 5:11–6:3, the author warns believers who had become “dull of hearing.” They had been around God’s Word for a long time, but they were not truly receiving it or growing from it. This sermon challenges us to examine whether we are maturing in Christ or remaining spiritually childish, still needing milk when we should be ready for solid food. Spiritual immaturity shows up when we cannot feed ourselves from Scripture, explain the The post Hebrews 5:11-6:3 – Why So Many Stay Stuck appeared first on Island Pond Baptist Church.

  • John 14:15-24 – Obedience Is The Evidence

    John 14:15-24 – Obedience Is The Evidence
    May 10 2026
    Real faith is not just something we claim with our words. According to Jesus, true love for him shows itself through obedience to his commands. In John 14:15–24, Jesus teaches that obedience does not save us, but it reveals whether we truly love him. A Christian is not someone who merely prayed a prayer in the past, but someone who follows Jesus today. At the same time, Jesus does not leave his people to obey in their own strength. He The post John 14:15-24 – Obedience Is The Evidence appeared first on Island Pond Baptist Church.

    John 3:1–15 – Have You Been Born Again?
    May 3 2026
    In John 3:1–15, Jesus tells Nicodemus that religious knowledge, morality, status, and good works are not enough to enter the kingdom of God. Even this respected Pharisee needed what every sinner needs: to be born again. This sermon explains that the new birth is not self-improvement or outward religious behavior. It is a sovereign work of God where he gives a person a new heart, cleanses them from sin, and brings them from spiritual death to life. Just as Israel The post John 3:1–15 – Have You Been Born Again? appeared first on Island Pond Baptist Church.

  • Luke 9:23-26 – What Jesus Actually Meant by “Disciple”

    Luke 9:23-26 – What Jesus Actually Meant by “Disciple”
    Apr 26 2026
    What does it really mean to follow Jesus? In Luke 9:23–26, Jesus makes it clear that discipleship isn’t about adding Him to your life, it’s about surrendering your life completely. This sermon explores the true cost of following Christ: denying yourself, taking up your cross daily, and living in obedience to Him. While the world tells us to chase comfort and success, Jesus presents a paradox, real life is only found when we give ours away. The message ends with The post Luke 9:23-26 – What Jesus Actually Meant by “Disciple” appeared first on Island Pond Baptist Church.

    John 2:23–25 – Belief That Doesn’t Save
    Apr 19 2026
    Not all belief in Jesus is saving faith. In John 2:23–25, we see a crowd that is impressed by Jesus but not transformed by Him. They believe because of what they see, but their hearts remain unchanged. Jesus is not fooled by outward excitement or religious appearance, He knows what’s truly inside us. Real faith isn’t about being impressed, it’s about being changed. This sermon calls us to move beyond casual belief and come honestly to Christ, asking Him to The post John 2:23–25 – Belief That Doesn’t Save appeared first on Island Pond Baptist Church.
