University Church Of Eugene Sermons

In this Sunday sermon (May 19th, 2019), Pastor Kelly Boyd preaches on the authority of God's word in our lives: The fact that he created the universe, the relationships he wants us to have with Him and one another, and the balancing act we all face between instinctually living for ourselves and living by God's will; and in discussing these points, this sermon covers topics such as facing our pet sins and choosing to get back up when they try to claim us, being more open to sharing about these sins and seeking forgiveness and, in effect, making ourselves right with God when we stumble. 

In this emotional, heart-felt Mother's Day Sermon (May 12th, 2019), Pastor Kelly Boyd passes out roses to all of the mothers in the congregation as he preaches on young, twelve year old Jesus' actions in the temple courts in Luke 2: 41-52 and how we, as disciples and followers of Christ, like young Jesus on this earth, have the choice to live a life that places the Father's will for us above our own; our time in this reality spent honoring Him in our sharing of the gospel to wayward souls and in how we are supposed to love one another that also honors our father and mother as God's commandments require of us, and encouraging them to be followers of our creator as well, if not already so.

In this Sunday sermon (May 5th, 2019), Pastor Kelly Boyd preaches on living by God's full, true, spiritual definition of love, rather than by the more minimalistic definitions of love we more instinctually tend to want to live by (ie. lusts, self-desire, etc.), based on our basic, human instincts; and that by doing so, we instead live as ambassadors of Christ, loving and building up one another as Jesus did during his walk on this earth, so that we may seek a relationship with Him that is eternal over what is only temporary in this flesh and blood reality.  

In this small, house church style congregational Sunday sermon, brother Todd Porter preaches on his lessons in learning of God's Grace and how we, as disciples and followers of Christ, seek to not only understand it, but also live by it, in conjunction with our efforts to serve one another and be fruitful with the life dynamics God provides for all of us as neighbors, brothers, sisters, supporters, fathers, mothers, care providers, and so on. 

In this Easter Sunday sermon, Pastor Kelly Boyd discusses Jesus' death and resurrection, highlighting how we, as disciples of Christ, live out the resurrection daily in how we choose to live for Him and one another, in of our free will, rather than by simply following our own self-conceived desires of the heart alone.

In this conclusion to the Life to the Full Sermon Mini Series, Brother Daniel Lauterbach discusses the Parable of the Shrewd Manager in Luke Chapter 16 and how, rather than seeking worldly wealth for personal gain and appealing to vein human interests, we, as disciples, are called to utilize our wealth in this life to help build up the Kingdom: reaching out to others, developing relationships, and bringing each other closer to God.

In this Sunday sermon (April 7th, 2019), brother Joey Hungerford discusses God's love for us through Christ (the transforming power of His sacrifice on the cross; the message of reconciliation): knowing it, accepting it, surrendering to it, believing in it and, in effect, going beyond simply knowing that Jesus loves us.  

In this Sunday sermon (March 31st, 2019), pastor Kelly Boyd deeply discusses the existential nature of God's message in of how, in the book of Jeremiah, the allegory of the Potter's House refers to the understanding that we are like hand-crafted pottery, each uniquely shaped at birth and re-shaped throughout life to serve His will in of our own free will, if and when we choose to seek Him with all of our being.  

In this Sunday sermon on March 24th, 2019, Elder Richard Hackett preaches on the great escape we must make from sin and the ensnaring of the Devil, the king of this world in our day and age and how, like the challenges of an Escape Room, we are called to escape it, in order to live the life that God intended for us. 

For this Sunday's sermon (March 17th, 2019), Pastor Kelly Boyd discusses persecution as a Christian for one's beliefs and choice to follow Jesus, and the challenges of acceptance that come from doing so, such as divides in one's life spiritually between family members, friends, and so on.
