Feb. 7, 2021 - BEYOND SELF-SERVICE
***WARNING: WE HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE MICROPHONE AND THERE IS SOME HIGH-PITCHED RINGING THROUGHOUT THE SERMON. *** |

Drs. Nick and Andrea Mitchell |
|
Jan. 24, 2021 - BEYOND PARALYZING FEAR
As Isaiah continues to address the situation of God’s people exiled in Babylon, he addresses the fear that will certainly threaten them, especially when Persia overtakes Babylon (41:10). Not only does Isaiah call the exiles not to fear, He offers them solid truth that speaks to their (and our) fear. |

Jan. 10, 2020 - BEYOND LIMITS OF OUR UNDERSTANDING
In our journey through Isaiah, we’ll continue to look at God’s amazing prophetic encouragement to His people as they would find themselves in the pain and questions of exile. Last week, we saw God’s posture of love, inviting them (and us) to ultimate restoration. |
|
Jan. 3, 2020 - BEYOND THE FINALITY OF OUR FAILURE
On this first Sunday of the new year, we return to our journey through Isaiah. We’ll move ahead to the latter section of the book that speaks to hope, beginning with today’s passage that prophetically addresses those who would find themselves in exile, lamenting their failure and wondering if their guilt had placed them beyond the restoration of God. (Lam. 1:2; 5:20-22) |
|
Dec. 27, 2020 - One Word
On this last Sunday of 2020, we will take time to look back on the past year and ahead to the new year, considering how God may be asking us to focus our attention as we move forward. A number of our pastoral staff will share a word or concept that God has impressed on their hearts as they enter 2021. |

Christmas Eve 2020
Merry Christmas from McKernan Baptist Church! |
|
Dec. 20, 2020 - BEYOND CHRISTMAS TRUCE
On this fourth Sunday of Advent, we will return to Isaiah’s prophecy about Christ’s coming and focus on what it means to see Jesus as Prince of Peace. When we look at the state of the world and often the state of our own troubled souls, we can be left thinking that this peace is entirely elusive. |
|
Dec. 13, 2020 - BEYOND HEAVINESS
Isaiah 9:3 |
|
Dec. 6, 2020 - BEYOND THE LIMITS OF HUMAN LOVE
On this second Sunday of Advent, we will look at how the prophesied name of Jesus, “Everlasting Father” (Is. 9:6), is a powerful declaration of God’s love for us. |
|
Nov. 29, 2020 - BEYOND THE DARKNESS
On this first Sunday of Advent, we will explore how Isaiah prophesied the coming of hope into a world that was in deep distress and hopelessness. We often look at this familiar prophecy, “For unto us a Child is born…” without seeing the darkness of its context. |
|
Nov. 22, 2020 - BLUE CHRISTMAS
Pastor Mike and the worship band lead us through a blue Christmas service. Just a heads-up, the volume will be much louder for the music, and quieter when Pastor Mike is speaking. |

Oct. 4, 2020 - BEYOND HOPELESSNESS |
|
Sept. 27, 2020 - BEYOND MINDLESS WANDERING
As we continue in our theme “Beyond,” our journey through Isaiah brings us to a passage where the prophet presents a tale of two cities: the current Jerusalem in all its sinful despair and the prophesied, restored Jerusalem in all its majestic[NV1] glory. |
|
Sept. 20, 2020 - Beyond Short-Lived Freedom
As we continue in our theme “Beyond,” we come today to a passage in which Isaiah confronts God’s people to move beyond their empty religious practices toward giving themselves in true surrender to a real relationship with God. |
|
Sept. 13, 2020 - Beyond Short-Lived Freedom
Today we launch our 2020-21 ministry theme, “Beyond.” We’ll focus on the many ways God calls us beyond life as defined by humanity apart from Him. In settling for far less than life as God intends, we give ourselves to pursuits that were never designed to satisfy our souls or build a just and loving society. |
|
Sept. 6, 2020 - THE DISRUPTION OF DISUNITY
Today we conclude a series of sermons looking at examples of “disruption” in the Bible by addressing the issue of disunity. We live in days that are full of conflict that often gets stuck in polarizing disunity. In Acts 15 we are given an example of a conflict with very negative potential that was addressed in a godly manner, with the result being an effective way forward. (vs. 31-33) |
|
Aug. 30, 2020 - WHEN CHALLENGES PERSIST
Today we continue a series of sermons looking at examples of “disruption” in the Bible. Paul faced a lingering disruption in the form of something he referred to as a “thorn in the flesh.” While we don’t know the exact nature of this “thorn,” we do know it was something that plagued him over an extended period of time. |

August 9, 2020 - When Disruption Hits R&R
This very well-known parable has been called The Prodigal Son, The Running Father and even The Apathetic Brother. Today we’ll look at how Jesus uses the story to allow His listeners to evaluate their life and embrace the Jesus way of life. |

July 26, 2020 - When Jesus was “Disrupted”
This week, pastor Daunavan shares about times when Jesus was "disrupted". |
|
July 19, 2020 - Out of The Wilderness
Today we continue a series of sermons looking at examples of “disruption” in the Bible. One such event was the wilderness wandering of God’s people that occupies much of Exodus through Deuteronomy. As the people of Israel were about to emerge from this difficult time, it is significant to recognize God’s challenge to them (v. 10-11) regarding the new test they were about to face in the prosperity that lay ahead. |
|
July 12, 2020 - Faith In The Midst of...
Today we continue a series of sermons looking at examples of “disruption” in the Bible. In a very familiar story, Goliath threatened to radically disrupt the well-being of Israel. His challenge, which needs to be seen as targeted against the purposes of God (v. 45), caused a sense of overwhelming and paralyzing fear until David stepped forward with eyes of faith that saw God’s truth and acted accordingly. |
|
July 5, 2020 - My Failure Need Not Be Final
Before we begin, a quick apology on the quality of the audio today. As many of you know, much is changing as we begin preparing the church for relaunch. Thank you for your patience. A better version of this week's sermon is available in video format on our Vimeo page (https://vimeo.com/event/20515). |

June 27, 2020 - When Life Doesn't Go As Planned
This week, Pastor Dave shares from Mark 4: 35-41 about when life doesn't go as planned. |
|
June 21, 2020 - Partnership With The Father...
Today we will conclude our series through Philippians entitled, “20/20 Vision; Life as God Intends.” In his closing words, Paul expressed his appreciation to his readers for the ways they had partnered with him in his commitment to introduce people far and wide to the good news of the Gospel. One definition of the Gospel is “God’s promise to make right everything wrong in us and in the world.” (Lon Allison) |
|
June 14, 2020 - A JAILBREAK FROM DISCONTENTMENT
Today, as we continue a series of sermons from Philippians entitled, “20/20 Vision, Life as God Intends,” we come a passage where Paul begins to wrap up his letter by giving thanks to the church in Philippi for the gift they had sent him. In doing so, he takes the opportunity to talk about his true source of contentment. |
|
June 7, 2020 - THINKING ABOUT WHAT WE THINK ABOUT
Today we continue a series of sermons from Philippians entitled, “20/20 Vision; Life as God Intends.” In a section of his letter where Paul speaks of experiencing God’s peace, he challenges his readers to pay close attention to their thinking. |
|
May 31, 2020 - Renewing Joy and Peace
Today we continue a series of sermons from Philippians entitled, “20/20 Vision, Life as God Intends.” As we are working through the last chapter Paul has turned his attention to some final exhortations or appeals to the believers. Paul is aware of the difficulties the Philippians are going through and he can appreciate their situation as he too, being in prison, understands the challenges. Paul wants his readers to look beyond their troubles and learn how to live lives of joy and peace. |
|
May 25, 2020 - FROM THE PAGE TO THE PAVEMENT
Today we continue a series of sermons from Philippians entitled, “20/20 Vision, Life as God Intends.” As we come to the last chapter, Paul starts to get very practical. The word “therefore” in Phil. 4:1 shows that Paul is building on what he has stated to this point. In essence, out of his love for his readers, he is urging them to take what he has written “on the page” and live it “on the pavement” where they walked out their everyday lives. |
|
May 17, 2020 - REFOCUSING OUR FIRST ALLEGIANCE
Today we resume a series of sermons from Philippians entitled, “20/20 Vision; Life as God Intends.” The book of Philippians presents a unique perspective on this kind of life, given that it is written by Paul from jail, where his freedom has been taken from him, his financial resources are very thin and any sense of control over his circumstances is gone. Yet, he writes a letter marked by joy. |
|
May 10, 2020 - SPIRITUAL DISTANCING NOT REQUIRED
Welcome to McKernan Baptist Church Online Service! On this Mother’s Day, we want to explore how God grows our faith in the context of intentional relationships with others. While the family certainly provides one such context, the Bible expands our understanding of family to include all followers of Christ. We are not meant to grow in isolation and as such, we can be thankful that there are no restrictions that require spiritual distancing. This morning we will focus on the importance of pursuing mentoring relationships. The following quotes come from people in our own congregation as they reflect on the role mentoring has played in their lives. |
|
May 3, 2020 - Cultivating The Fruit of The Spirit
For the past several weeks, our gatherings have been far different than we had come to expect and experience. This disruption to our “normal” is also an invitation to explore how God may be leading us in a new and different way. This morning, Pastor Daunavan is going to be sharing on how God is leading us to embody the fruit of the Spirit. As we will see, the Fruit of the Spirit is both profoundly counter-cultural (many of the responses that are considered “default” in our culture are the opposite of the fruit as listed in Galatians 5), yet exactly what many are longing for! |
|
April 26, 2020 - The Heart of Worship
For the past several weeks, our gatherings have been far different than we had come to expect and experience. For many of us, the heart of a worship service meant getting together physically to sing, to pray, and to hear a message based on God’s Word. With this forced hiatus from public gathering, we’re presented with a unique opportunity to think intentionally about worship. Is it restricted to something we do on Sunday or might it be something quite a bit bigger? This morning we’ll explore this question by examining the Biblical message of the song, “The Heart of Worship.” |
|
April 19, 2020 - Crown Him With Many Crowns
Last week, we celebrated the Resurrection of Jesus Christ! Rather than quickly move on, it’s important that we take some time to reflect on the true identity of Jesus as Risen King who is “crowned with many crowns.” He is not only alive, but active among His people and in our world. This truth can give us great focus, encouragement and direction in these uncertain times. |
|
Apr. 12, 2020 - It is Well with my Soul
On this Easter Sunday, we will explore how the writer of the hymn “It is Well” was able to know inner peace in the midst of personal tragedy. We will see that the verses of his song point to the Biblical truth of Easter as foundational to the kind of life God created us to experience, even in a broken and hurting world. |

Apr. 5, 2020 - Be Thou My Vision
Our current sermon series, “Seeing Clearly the Songs We Sing,” highlights the Biblical truths we declare when we sing the songs that we do in our worship services. We’ve seen how these songs speak very practically to many of the situations we encounter, including the pandemic we are presently facing. |
|
March 29, 2020 - Christ Is Enough
These last couple of weeks have demonstrated that the ability to remain connected through immense challenges is very possible. As we continue to minister through online opportunities, you’ll notice a revised version of the weekly program that we hand out on Sunday. Within the information it provides, there will be a sermon outline that includes questions for discussion/reflection. Many are creatively utilizing platforms to worship together even while in different homes. As we join with brothers and sisters across this tiny planet, we worship a very awesome God. Today’s message continues our look at the truths we declare when we sing the songs that we sing as part of our worship. This week’s song proclaims that “Christ is Enough”. |

Mar. 15, 2020 - 10,000 Reasons
In this year, as we pursue the theme "20/20 Vision; Life as God Intends," we recognize that we often proclaim God's vision of life in the songs we sing on Sunday morning. However, it is easy to get lost in the tune and not "see clearly" the truth of the songs we are singing. |
|
Mar. 08, 2020 - The Love of God
In this year, as we pursue the theme of "20/20 Vision; Life as God Intends," we recognize that we often proclaim God's vision of life in the songs awe sing on a Sunday morning. However, it is easy to get lost in the tune and not "see clearly" the truth of the songs we are singing. |

In this year as we pursue the theme "20/20 Vision; Life as God Intends," we recognize that we ofter proclaim God's vision of life in the songs we sing on a Sunday morning. However, it is easy to get lost in the tune and not "see clearly" the truth of the songs we are singing. |

Feb. 16, 2020 - OUTREACH
We are currently focusing "up close and personal" on some values that are core to our faith. Today we will explore the value of "OUTREACH." In his letter, Peter challenged his readers to enter into the lives of the people around them, even though their culture was becoming increasingly suspicious and agnostic towards Christianity. |

Feb. 2, 2020 - SERVICE
As we begin out year focusing "up close and personal" on some values that are core to our faith today we will explore the value of "SERVICE." In his letter (1 Peter 4:7011), Peter challenges his readers to intentional service for the cause of Christ, even though they find themselves in difficult times. |
|
Jan. 26, 2020 - Community
During these first weeks of the new year, we are looking at some values that are core to Christianity and, following our "20/20 Vision" theme, attempt to bring these values into focus in a way that is "up close and personal." Today we will explore the value of "community." In Paul's first letter to the corinthians, he challenged the competitiveness among the church by calling them to the more excellent way of love (1 Cor. 130, which is grounded in God's amazing love for us. |
|
Jan 19, 2020 - Worship
During the first few weeks of the new year, we will look at some values that are core to Christianity and following our "20/20 Vision" theme, attempt to bring these values into focus in a way that is "up close and personal." Today we will explore the value of "worship." Psalm 95 is an expression of worship to God that hi lights 3 facets of a biblical understanding of this important value. |
|
Jan. 12, 2020 - Discipleship Up Close & Personal
The beginning of a new year provides an appropriate opportunity to focus on core values and issues. Over the next weeks, we will look at some values that are core to Christianity, and following our "20/20 Vision" theme, attempt to bring these values into focus in a way that is "up close and personal." Today we will explore the value of discipleship. |
|
Jan. 5, 2020 - Up Close and Personal
The beginning of a new year provides an appropriate opportunity to focus on core values and issues. Over the next weeks, we will look at some values that are core to Christianity and follow our “20/20 Vision theme,” attempt to bring these values into focus in a way that is “up close and personal.” |
|
Dec. 29, 2019 - Team Preach
As we are about to enter a new year, we recognize that God often leads in a way that invites us to focus on a particular area at a particular time. This morning, four of our pastoral staff will share their thoughts around the word/ concept they sense God impressing on their hears as they approach 2020. |

Christmas Eve Sermon 2019
Merry Christmas from McKernan Baptist! This is from our 4:00 service. |
|
Dec. 12, 2019 - In Christ, Heaven Meets Earth: A C
On this fourth Sunday of Advent, we light the candle of peace and recall how the angels proclaimed "Peace on Earth" in their announcement of Christ's birth (Luke 2:14). As we look back at the history since that time, however, we notice how there continues to be a lot of outer and inner conflict in our world. We need a renewed vision of the nature of the peace Christ offers and the kind of responses required to experience this peace more deeply. |
|
Dec. 15, 2019 - Joy To The World
On this third Sunday of Advent, we light the candle of joy. While this is a very appropriate day to sing "Joy to the World," the song was actually written more in reference to Christ's Second coming than His first. We'll link today at how the joy anticipated in Christ's return is made possible by His first comping that we celebrate at Christmas. |
|
Dec. 8, 2019 - A Clearer Vision of Christmas Hope
On this second Sunday of Advent , we focus on the hope of Christmas. As we work our way through Philippians, we come to a passage where Paul celebrates the hope-filled truth that he has been "taken hold of" by Christ, not based on anything he has done, but in surrender to what God has done through the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. |
|
Dec. 1, 2019 - A Clearer Vision of Christmas Love
Pastor Lyle |
|
Nov. 24, 2019 - Servants with 20/20 vision
As we journey through the book of Philippians we come to a passage in which Paul shared his future plans to send Timothy and Epaphroditus back to Philippi. While he could have done this in a few short sentences, he instead took the opportunity to describe how these two men reflected the characteristics of selfless service that were needed in the Philippian church, just as they continue to be needed among Christ's followers today. |
|
Nov. 17, 2019 - An Attitude as God Intends
We are currently journeying through Paul's letter to the Philippians church. After urging the church at Philippi to recognize their need for God and respond to God's ongoing work in their lives, Paul addresses an attitude that is threatening the church. If the church listens to Paul's advice, he gives potential outcomes of what a Christ-like attitude provides. |

Nov. 3, 2019 - The Truly Worthy Role Model
We are currently journeying through Paul's letter to the Phillipian church. After extending a strong challenge to the people of the church to live in unity, Paul points them to Jesus as the ultimate role model. In so doing, he paints a picture much different than current role models of his (and our) time do. |
|
Oct. 27, 2019 - Lenses That Bring Us Together
We are currently journeying through Paul's letter to the Philippian church. We come today to a section of the letter where Paul addresses what appears to be a growing division within their ranks. Rather than simply challenging the church to get along, he calls them to see their relationships through the renewed reality of Christ's Vision. |
|
Oct. 20 2019 - Vision to Live Worthy of the Gospel
Today we return to our series 20/20 Vision as we continue through Philippians. |

Oct. 13, 2019 - The Corrective Lens of Gratitude
On this Thanksgiving Sunday, we will walk through a Psalm in which David is careful to thank God for answered prayers. The Psalm us a fitting Reminder of how easy it is for us to focus our prayer on what we need and forget to thank God for all He has given. |

August 4, 2019 - When Life is Hard...
It's not a matter of "if" something hard will happen in our life, but rather "when" will it happen. Our western society views suffering as unacceptable and strives to get rid of it as quickly as possible. Paul offers a different perspective on suffering. |
|
July 28, 2019 - Making Space for God
We live in a world that is filled with clutter, distraction, and misplaced priorities. Following Jesus in a significant way can easily fall onto the back burner when we allow these things to take over . |
|
July 21, 2019 - A Deep and Wide Heart
As Paul was on his way to Jerusalem, fully aware it would lead to life-threatening danger, he gathered the leaders of the church in Ephesus and shared his heart with them in a tearful good-bye. In so doing, we get a powerful glimpse at the inner heart that was beneath the “deep and wide” life Paul lived. |
|
July 14, 2019 - Deep and Wide Together
As Paul begins a difficult journey to Jerusalem, he does so in a context of godly encouragement (Acts 20; 1, 2, 12). True encouragment is much more than expressing human hopes and well-wished to one another. Rather, it involves lifting our eyes upward to the God of encouragement who has been chosen to come alongside us. (Rom. 15:5, John 14:18; 1. Thess. 5:11) |

June 16, 2019 - Prayer as a Plunge
As we continue our journey through the book of Acts, we come to the familiar story of Paul and Silas in a Philippian jail. While at first glance, the focus of the story seems to involve the miraculous earthquake that brought about their release, the passage focuses on the impact of the authentic relationship Paul and Silas had with God and how this was revealed in their prayer lives. Paul and Silas expressed a life of prayer that was not about lists or rituals, but rather about a plunge into the constant presence of God. |
|
June 9, 2019 - Entering the Mystery of Worship
Today we're looking at what it means to enter into the mystery of worship as we look at two different versions of the throne room, written about 850 years apart. As we journey through these visions in Isaiah and Revelation, we'll learn how these windows into heavenly worship should inform how we engage in worship here today. |

May 12, 2019 - Navigating Through Conflict
As the Church expands in its early years, a serious conflict arose regarding a person's need to be circumcised (according to Jewish law) in order to be truly saved (brought into relationship with God). In Acts 15, we find a description of how this conflict was handled with the result of being an encouraged and strengthened church (vs. 30-32). |

April 28, 2019 - Forgiveness
Forgiveness is key to us being the people God created us to be. Jesus' teaching on forgiveness challenges us to face our own inner struggle with pardoning people who may not even be remorseful. Nonetheless, we are to forgive. |
|
April 21, 2019 - The Bakery Is Open!
On the day Jesus rose from the dead, He came up from behind two of His followers as they were walking to their home. These two had heavy hearts, thinking He was still dead. They didn't recognize Jesus until He joined them for a meal and "broke bread" with them. Everything Jesus claimed about Himself was true. |

|
Mar. 31, 2019 - Jesus: The Bread of Life
In these weeks leading up to Easter, we are exploring what it means that Jesus is the Bread of Life (Jn. 6L35), using various ingredients of bread as doorways to deepen our understanding. Today, we will look at how the ingredient of salt can inform and challenge our walk with God. |

Dec. 16, 2018
This morning, we have sung and heard songs about the good news of Christmas. In announcing the birth of Christ, the angels declared that His coming to earth was news of great joy (which can be defined as the experience of gladness or well-being). What is it about the coming of Jesus that offers true joy? |

On this first Sunday of Advent, we focus on the love of Christ displayed in His coming to earth. As Jesus' love caused Him to move outward, today we'll see how His early followers followed His examples (Acts 7:54-8:40) and also moved outward in expressing and extending His love. |

Walking with Jesus through Suburban Neighbourhoods
In telling this story, Luke pays significant attention to the contrast between Jesus' view of Zacchaeus and that of the crowd. Where they saw a man who had grown materially successful without any regard to God, Jesus saw real inner need. This contrast confronts us with some important questions as we find ourselves living among many people who are doing well by culture's standards, yet seem disinterested or even resistant with regard to God. |
