Christ Church Bentonville

The Call of Ezekiel (Ezekiel 2:1-3:15)

This sermon is by Chris Miller, pastor of Trinity Grace Church, our sending church, that he preached on the occasion of our Particularization we celebrated on October 25, 2020.

Distinctives - Part 4 (Colossians 2:16-3:17)

This is part 2 of our distinctive of Loving Deeply; loving God through worship.  This is a fantastic sermon given by our Ministry Intern, Aaron Raines.  

Distinctives - Part 3 (John 15:12-17)

Jesus didn't simply commanded the disciples to love the way He loved, His command was to love those He had loved.

Distinctives - Part 2 (Romans 14)

Legalistically judging and arrogantly demeaning one another in regard to Christian liberty and our freedom in Christ, are both out of bounds. 

Distinctives - Part 1 (Matthew 16:13-23)

We’re calling the series Distinctives, not because we believe we are or because we are trying to be a unique, one-of-a-kind church, but because we believe there are a few things that distinguish us from many of the other churches in our area; things that communicate who we are and even why we do what we do that differ from those around us.

But You, Beloved (Jude)

Jude's original goal was to expound upon what it meant to be called, loved, and kept.  But, he had to change course.  He felt that it was necessary to make an appeal to them to contend for the foundational truths of the Gospel.

Truth and Love Part 2 (3 John)

Life is as simple as walking in truth and love which involves looking up, looking out not in, and looking around. 

Truth and Love Part 1 (2 John)

Truth and love are inextricably linked.  Truth without love is cold and lifeless; love without truth is detached and empty.

Forgiveness (Philemon)

Paul knew the law and the rights Philemon had as a slave owner.  And yet, he asked him to not exercise those rights and to do something that was difficult and definitively counter-cultural; forgive Onesimus.

"The Gospel According to Obadiah: Destruction and Deliverance”

This is the first of a five-part series on the one chapter books of the Bible.  This is the only one in the Old Testament.  (This sermon was given by Aaron Raines, Ministry Intern.)

The Benediction (Hebrews 13:20-25)

The benediction is a scriptural pronouncement that assures us that not only have we been offered grace but that we have received grace, which enables us to depart and go back out into the world just as boldly and confidently as we came in to approach the throne of grace.

Helpful Do's and Don'ts (Hebrews 13:7-19)

"All those who remained committed to the old Jewish system were excluded from the benefits of Christ’s atoning death.  But his death outside the camp means that he is accessible to anyone in the world who will come to him.  Jesus planted the cross in the world so that the world might have access to Him and He remains permanently available." - R. Kent Hughes
