Dayton Avenue Baptist Church Sermons

Pastor Jon teaches from John 14 and other various scriptures about the return of Christ.

2nd Tim 3:16-17 – One of the foundations of our faith has to do with our daily walk of faith – how do we grow closer to the Lord. Pastor Jon explains sanctification and shares how God uses His Word in that process

Haggai 1:1-9 – Guest speaker Dr. Gary May challenges us about how our fears can cause us to stumble, but how Jesus provides overcoming strength and courage for us.

The greatest paradox of our Christian faith has to do with man’s moral accountability in light of the sovereignty of God. Pastor Jon shares that, though we can’t intellectually solve this paradox, there are really good reasons to affirm it.

1st John 2:1-2 – To think that the God Who created the universe would plead our case individually as our Defense Attorney in heaven… this is the amazing truth of the Atonement.

John 1:1-18 – The doctrine of Christology separates true Christianity from the cults. Pastor Tim overviews what the Bible declares about Who Jesus Christ is.

Pastor Tim continues our series on the Foundations of our faith by showing just how big our sin problem is and how wonderful God’s provision for our salvation through Jesus really is.

God has revealed Himself as one God Who exists eternally in three Persons. Pastor Jon shares how this truth is so fundamental to true Christianity.

Pastor Tim kicks off our summer series “Foundations: Doctrines We Believe” with a study on the centrality of God’s Word, the Bible.

How does God expect “regular Christians” to obey the Great Commission?

In the context of Jesus’ teaching on servanthood and sacrifice, Pastor Jon shares some of the ministry opportunities that God has brought into our path at Dayton Ave.

Moms have a tough job, but they seem to have a supernatural capacity to love. It is supernatural, because it is a reflection of the love of God for us.

How does God view our little ones? Pastor Jon talks about the special place God has for little ones in His heart and what that means for parents.

Easter Sunday: The resurrection of Jesus is *really good news* but only if we understand some really bad news first.

As we prepare our hearts for Communion, Pastor Jon shares how Jesus the King – both the Servant King riding a donkey on Palm Sunday and the Conquering King riding a white horse in Revelation 19 – is reflected in our observation of the Lord’s Table.

Pastor Jon leads us through Genesis 23:1-16 and 25:7-10 to show us Sarah and Abraham's legacy, and to help us to see how and why should build a good and godly legacy day-by-day as we walk with the Lord.

Pastor Tim Cochrell continues our series on Abraham. God tests Abraham by asking him to sacrifice of his son Isaac. Abraham's example of faith teaches us that we should trust in God's provision, and also provides a picture of Christ's ultimate sacrifice for our sin.

After having walked with God for over 60 years, Abraham has learned some tough lessons. There is “more than meets the eye’ going on in Genesis 21, and Abraham has apparently caught a glimpse of it.

The first time the word ‘integrity” is used in the Bible, God used it to describe a pagan king instead of Abraham. We continue to learn from the life of Abraham and Sarah: this week about how important it is that what we Say, what we Believe, and what we Do line up together.

Pastor Jon continues the series on Abraham in Genesis 18:16-23, describing how God always takes the initiative in a relationship with us, even if we don't always recognize Him working in our lives.
