High Desert Presbyterian Church Sermons: Recent Episodes
High Desert Presbyterian Church -- Rev. Dan Rose
Worship defines us as human beings. God made us to worship Him; as the Westminster Catechism reminds us, our primary purpose in life is to ‘Glorify God and enjoy Him forever.’ St. Augustine said of God that ‘our hearts are restless until it rests in Thee.’ In our sin, we look for all kinds of idols to replace God; the gospel shows us the emptiness of these idols and the fullness of God’s grace. To worship God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is to be truly human.
The sermon is the centerpiece of High Desert's service and usually lasts between 20-30 minutes. The message is always based from a passage in the Bible and is usually ‘expository’, meaning that the central theme of the sermon is the central point of the biblical text.
