"Conflict Resolution According to Jesus" - CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH, Niles, Ohio 03242019

March 24, 2019 19:54 - 65.3 MB

Sunday morning, we continued in Luke 9 and talked about how Jesus resolved conflict.  All of us have been through conflict and most of us would rather avoid it yet conflict is a part of life.  Jesus dealt with His fair share of conflict.  Thus, finding a conflict resolution strategy based on the example of Christ is the best way to learn how to deal with conflict.  In Luke 9:51-56, Jesus gives us a three-step approach to handling conflict; THINKàCORRECTàACT.  THINK before you act, CORRECT y...

"Achieving Greatness" - CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH, Niles, Ohio - 03172019

March 17, 2019 19:45 - 25.4 MB

This Sunday morning, we talked about achieving greatness in the eyes of God.  In Luke 9:46-50 we come across an argument that the disciples were having amongst themselves.  They were trying to figure out which one of them would rank the highest when the kingdom of God came upon the earth.  Of course, Christ is the greatest and any attempt to put one’s self above Him is futile.  Yet, Jesus did tell us how we can be considered “great.”  In our text we found that true and genuine greatness, ac...

"Have Faith in God" CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH, Niles, Ohio 03102019

March 10, 2019 17:27

Sunday morning, we continued through the 9th chapter of the Gospel of Luke.  We talked about Jesus casting the demon out of a father’s only son/child.  I pointed out to my congregation that all of us face hardships in life yet we are not alone; we have Jesus and His followers to rely on.  BUT, sometimes, Christians do more harm than good. In the end of it, we need to place all our trust in Jesus Christ.  Trust in the Lord today!  Sermon by Pastor Dan Squezello At Central Baptist Church, ...

"The Transfiguration of Jesus" - CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH, Niles, Ohio 03032019

March 03, 2019 19:10 - 27.1 MB

Sunday morning, I preached about the Transfiguration of Jesus.  This was a very heavy sermon from a theological perspective, yet I ended it with one basic point of application: We all need to open our hearts and minds so that we can see the glory of Christ.  Often, we are distracted from the works of God taking place all around us.  To frequently we focus on the chaos which surrounds our lives and are blind to God’s glory. Stop what you are doing and focus yourself on the work of the Lord. ...

February 25, 2019 14:18 - 21.3 MB

On Sunday nights I have been preaching a follow up sermon to the theme of our Sunday School lesson from earlier in the day.  Sunday morning, we talked about being deceived by false teachings.  John the Apostle has a lot to say about this subject.  His first epistle (1 John) focused quite a bit on combating the false teaching of false prophets.  In 1 John 4:1-6, the Apostle tells us how to combat the false teachings we face?  He tells us to test every teaching (to see if it is from God) and to...

"Following Jesus" - CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH, Niles, Ohio - 02242019

February 24, 2019 19:27

Sunday morning, I preached about following Jesus.  It is easy to say we “follow Christ” but what exactly does it mean to follow Him?  In Luke 9:23-27 Jesus gives the perfect “job description” to anyone who wishes to follow Him.  In the first half of my text, Jesus gave three conditions for following Him (verse 23).  Those who wish to come after Christ (follow Jesus) must deny themselves, commit to following Christ to the point of death and continually follow Him on a regular basis.  Then Je...

"The Spiritual Nourishment of Jesus" - 02102019 CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH, Niles Ohio

February 10, 2019 19:20

Sunday morning, I talked about the only miracle of Jesus that was recorded in all four gospels; Jesus feeding five thousand men (not including the women and children) with just five loaves of bread and two fish.  This story tells so much about how Jesus provides for His followers.  I told my congregation that Jesus gives all Christians spiritual nourishment in the form of (1) rest, (2) comfort and (3) teaching.  When life gets in the way and we feel “off”, it is important to remember how mu...

We began the 9th chapter of the gospel of Luke by looking at the story of Jesus sending His twelve disciples out on their own for the first time.  There is a lot Christians today can learn from this event.  Followers of Christ are equipped to serve God through the Holy Spirit.  We are instructed in our service of the Lord through God’s Word.  And we need to trust and obey God’s calling for us to serve Him. Can you honestly say that you trust and obey God today? Sermon by Pastor Dan Squeze...

"TOn the ob eraininghment of Jesus"The TrueNG SERV - MORNING SERVICE 01272019

January 13, 2019 19:41

Yesterday we finally finished Luke 8.  We took a look at two miracles that Jesus performed in quick succession; the healing of a bleeding woman and the rising from the dead a twelve-year-old girl.  In reading through these two miraculous events, we can find three examples of “power.”  First ,we found that man’s power was useless.  On our own we are powerless.  BUT, with Christ, we can do all things; which was the second power we found in the text.  The power of Jesus is found in the miracle...

"True Worship" - EVENING SERVICE 01062019

January 07, 2019 21:17 - 27 MB

On Sunday Evenings my sermon text comes from the theme of our Sunday School lesson from earlier in the day.  Yesterday morning we finished the unit titled “The Full Picture of Christmas”; which focused on different individuals or groups of people within the Christmas story.  Yesterday we looked at the wisemen and how they worshiped Jesus.  In continuing in the theme of worship, I decided to study through a good portion of the 4th chapter of John and the story of Jesus’ interaction with the ...

"The Miracles of Christ" - MORNING SERVICE 01062019

January 07, 2019 21:16 - 28.6 MB

Yesterday we returned to the Gospel of Luke.  We looked at the story of Jesus casting out the many demons of a demonic man who lived amongst the tombs.  After Christ “cured” the man, we found two completely different reactions to the miraculous power of Christ.  The first was one of fear and rejection.  The people of the area completely rejected what took place (and Jesus) because of fear.  The second reaction was one of faith and obedience.  The formally possessed man wanted to leave with ...

"The Coming Messiah" - EVENING SERVICE 12232018

December 24, 2018 00:14 - 22.9 MB

This Sunday evening, we focused on Micah 5:2, “But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel.  His goings forth are from long ago, from the days of eternity.”  I find it amazing that this passage of scripture was written hundreds of years before Christ yet there is so much in it that applies to us today.  Of course, the most important part, is that the long awaited for Messiah has been born to us.  Pra...

"The Word Among Us" - MORNING SERVICE 12232018

December 23, 2018 19:27 - 20.8 MB

This Sunday morning we took a break from the gospel of Luke to talk about the Christmas story.  I preached from John 1:14, “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.”  Now, to be honest, when we think about Christmas this is not a verse that often comes to mind.  BUT, in reality, this verse sums up the entire Christmas story.  Jesus, the Word, came to earth, dwelt among mankind and put the glo...

"Facing the Storms of Life" - MORNING SERVICE 12162018

December 16, 2018 20:01 - 25.5 MB

Sunday morning we looked at the story, according to Luke, of Jesus calming the storm.  I pointed out that all of us face hardships or “storms” in life.  You are only fooling yourself if you think your life is burden free; we all face trials.  BUT, we do not have to face them alone; Jesus can face them with us!  In my text (Luke 8:22-25) Jesus asked the question, to His disciples, “Where is your faith?”  So that is my question to you; when you face difficulties in life, where is your faith? ...

"Are You Dedicated?" - MORNING SERVICE 12092018

December 10, 2018 20:43 - 25.7 MB

On Sunday morning we continued our study of Luke 8 and responding to the Word of God.  We talked about being part of Jesus’ family and looked at His dedication to us and what a Christian’s dedication to Him should look like.       Sermon by Pastor Dan Squezello At Central Baptist Church, Niles, Ohio Morning Service On December 9, 2018 Series: Preaching through the Gospel of Luke Sermon Title: "Are You Dedicated?"

"Responding to the Word of God" - MORNING SERVICE 12022018

December 03, 2018 18:48 - 31.7 MB

On Sunday morning I preached what could easily be considered a follow up text for last week’s message about “the sower and the seed.”  Jesus’ “parable of the lamp”, from Luke 8:16-18, talks about responding to God’s Word.  I told my congregation that Christians need to respond to God’s Word, and the Gospel message of Jesus’ death and resurrection, by (1) Speaking the Word [evangelism] and (2) Hearing the Word [personal discipleship].  Christians need to constantly grow in their faith by tal...

"Entering the Gates of God" - EVENING SERVICE 11252018

November 26, 2018 00:11 - 22 MB

On Sunday nights I preach a sermon that is a follow up to what we studied in Sunday School earlier in the day.  Sunday morning, we finished up the unit is titled “How to Pray” by talking about thanksgiving and how we need to pray a prayer of thanksgiving to God.  God is the only source of your blessings.  Who else are going to give credit to for all the blessings you have received?  Yourself?  Only God is worthy of your thanksgiving.  But, how should we react when we are in the presence of ...

"Embrace the Gospel" - MORNING SERVICE 11252018

November 26, 2018 00:10 - 31.3 MB

On Sunday morning I preached about one of Jesus’ most well-known parables; the parable of the sower and the seed.  Each soil type, where seed fell, represents a reaction humanity may have to the gospel of Christ.  To sum everything up; you can either react to the gospel message of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ by embracing it or by rejecting it.  If you reject that gospel you are on your own.  The works or fruit of an individual shows where their heart is; so don’t think ...

"Going to Confession" - EVENING SERVICE 11182018

November 19, 2018 14:22 - 20.9 MB

On Sunday nights I preach a sermon that is a good follow up to what we learned in Sunday School earlier in the day.  Our current Sunday School unit is titled “How to Pray.”  Each session of the Sunday School will look at a portion of the Lord’s Prayer from Matthew 6.  This week we talked about Matthew 6:12-13, “And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.  And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil.”  Last night we continued the idea of confessing our si...

"The Christian Church"

November 18, 2018 19:20 - 34.9 MB

On Sunday, November 18, 2018, we continued our way through the Gospel of Luke by looking at a summarization passage that gave us some insight on those who were following Jesus.  We learned that this group was made up of the twelve disciples and “many women.”  I told my congregation that a local church needs to be a (1) Gospel Driven Church, (2) Welcoming and Loving Church and (3) Financially Generous Church.  Sermon by Pastor Dan Squezello At Central Baptist Church, Niles, Ohio Morning S...

"Forgiveness, Salvation and Peace" - MORNING SERVICE 11112018

November 12, 2018 18:27 - 34.2 MB

Sunday morning, I spoke about how all of humanity can receive forgiveness, salvation and peace through Christ.  We looked at the story of a sinful woman anointing Jesus’ feet with an expensive perfume at the home of a Pharisee named Simon.  This woman, who must have been looked at as one of the worst of the worst sinners in the community, was able to find forgiveness, salvation, and peace through Jesus; just like each and every one of us could.  Trust Jesus in all parts of your life today. ...

"Reject or Accept" - MORNING SERVICE 11042018

November 05, 2018 18:35 - 32.5 MB

Yesterday morning we talked about the message of Jesus and John the Baptist and asked ourselves the question: “Are you going to reject Jesus or accept Jesus?”  John the Baptist prepared the way for the Messiah and Jesus is the Messiah.  They both had powerful messages for their listeners and Jesus’s gift of salvation is something that everyone needs.  There is no way to get to heaven on our own; we need Jesus.  Are you going to accept Jesus and the forgiveness He offered You?  Or are you go...
