The Gospel for All | a teaching series through Acts
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor
Sermon Notes:
“It should come as no surprise that the God who supernaturally created the universe should choose at times to supernaturally intervene in it.” — John MacArthur
Miracles are not UNNATURAL but are glimpses of NATURE RESTORED —momentary REVERSALS of the CURSE, revealing how all things will one day be MADE NEW in Christ.
Romans 8:20-21 // Isaiah 35:5-6
1. God allows the gift of HIS POWER to flow through FLAWED MEN in order to magnify His GRACE and GLORY.
Luke 22:31-32 // 2 Corinthians 4:7
2. God SOMETIMES miraculously HEALS at our request simply to demonstrate His FATHERLY CARE.
Matthew 7:7-11 // Psalm 103:13
3. God OFTEN WITHHOLDS miraculous healing because His PLAN is BETTER: for us to EMBRACE SUFFERING in FAITH, knowing that disease and death will soon be VANQUISHED.
2 Corinthians 12:7-10 // 1 Peter 1:3-7
4. WHENEVER God performs a physical miracle, it is ALWAYS for the ultimate purpose of the greatest miracle: SAVING FAITH in Jesus Christ.
Mark 2:1-12 // John 20:30-31

Resurrection Sunday 2025 | The Gospel in a World of Fake News | Matthew 27:62-28:15

Sunday April 20, 2025 at the Hub City Church
The Gospel in a World of Fake News | Matthew 27:62-28:15
Resurrection Sunday 2025 | He is risen!
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor
Sermon Notes:
“If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all he said; if he didn’t rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like [Jesus'] teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead.” — Tim Keller
The phenomenon of ‘fake news’ exists because sometimes, people in power deem the truth to be inconvenient or even detrimental to their preferred narrative.
John 3:19-20
While some would prefer the message of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection to be labeled ‘fake news’, there is a litany of reasons to believe it is true:
- The Empty TOMB
- Many Eyewitness TESTIMONIES
- The Disciples TRANSFORMATION
If Jesus really was raised from the dead, it is actually the best news you’ll ever hear!
John 11:25-26 // Romans 10:9-10

Palm Sunday: Do You Know the Real King Jesus? | Luke 19:28-40 // Acts 9:20-31

Sunday April 13, 2025 at the Hub City Church
Do You Know the Real King Jesus | Luke 19:28-40 // Acts 9:20-31
Palm Sunday 2025
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor
Sermon Notes:
Palm Sunday is not just a day of CELEBRATION — it’s a day of EXAMINATION that begs the question: Do we REALLY KNOW the King we CLAIM to follow?
1. Many people PRAISE Jesus as ‘KING’ under the FALSE ASSUMPTION that He has come to give them the EARTHLY LIFE they’ve always WANTED.
Mark 10:17,22 // John 6:60,66 // Matthew 11:2-3 // Luke 24:21
2. Following the REAL King JESUS often leads to DIFFICULTY, not COMFORT — because the world OPPOSES the message of His ETERNAL Kingdom.
John 15:18-19 // John 16:33
3. King Jesus is WORTH losing EVERYTHING for because He has given us the most VALUABLE thing of all — HIMSELF.
Philippians 3:7-10 // Matthew 13:44
“God always gives us what we would have asked for if we had known everything He knows.” — Tim Keller

Paul's Radical Conversion | Acts 9:1-19 | The Gospel for All

Sunday April 6, 2025 at the Hub City Church
Paul's Radical Conversion | Acts 9:1-19
The Gospel for All | a teaching series through Acts
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor
Sermon Notes:
REGENERATION is the SOVEREIGN work of GOD in which He AWAKENS those who are spiritually DEAD, ENABLING them to BELIEVE in and FOLLOW Jesus.
“Divine grace does not trample on human personality. Rather the reverse, for it enables human beings to be truly human. It is sin which imprisons; it is grace which liberates. The grace of God so frees us from the bondage of our pride, prejudice, and self-centeredness as to enable us to repent and believe.” — John Stott
Titus 3:4-5 // John 6:63,65 // 1 Peter 1:3 // Ephesians 2:4-5
Lessons on Regeneration from the Apostle Paul’s Conversion:
1. EVERY CHRISTIAN, no matter how godly and mature, has a TOTALLY REBELLIOUS ‘BEFORE CHRIST’. 1 Timothy 1:15-16 // Ephesians 2:1-2
2. No one CHOOSES Jesus as Lord in their OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS; He CHOOSES us and OPENS our EYES to His GLORY when we are DEAD in our SIN.
John 15:16 // 2 Corinthians 4:6 // Ephesians 1:3-5 // Galatians 1:15-16
3. Everyone Jesus TAKES as His OWN, He TASKS with a specific ROLE in His mission.
Acts 26:12-18 // Ephesians 2:8-10
4. No one Jesus saves EVER SEES life the SAME, OLD way again.
2 Corinthians 5:17

The Ethiopian Eunuch | Acts 8:26-40 | The Gospel for All

Sunday March 30, 2025 at the Hub City Church
The Ethiopian Eunuch | Acts 8:26-40
The Gospel for All | a teaching series through Acts
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor
Sermon Notes:
In the gospels, Jesus teaches that the MAIN OBJECTIVE for His DISCIPLES is to FIND LOST PEOPLE in their PROXIMITY who NEED to hear the GOOD NEWS!
Luke 19:10 // Matthew 9:13, 37-38 // Mark 16:15-16 // John 20:21
“…Making disciples is fairly easy. You simply bring people along in your spiritual journey. Making disciples is more about intentionality than technique: Discipleship means teaching others to read the Bible the way you read it, pray the way you pray, and tell people about Jesus the way you do. If you have Christian habits in your life worth imitating, you can be a disciple-maker. It doesn’t require years of training. You just teach others to follow Christ as you follow Him.” — J.D. Greear
The Ethiopian Eunuch - Portrait of Newborn Christian:
1. HUNGRY to KNOW GOD
2. HUMBLED to CONFESS the NEED for HELP
3. A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING of the GOSPEL
4. REPENTANT FAITH resulting in BAPTISM and JOY

Simon the Magician | Acts 8:9-25
The Birth of the Church | a teaching series through Acts
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor
Sermon Notes:
In the gospels, JESUS consistently WARNS that there is a kind of ‘NOMINAL’ BELIEF that is NOT the same as GENUINE NEW BIRTH.
Matthew 7:21-23 // John 2:23-25 // Matthew 13:3,5-6, 20-21 // Matthew 13:24-30 // John 6:60-70
“We know, from Jesus Himself, that there are people who can be in the church but not of the church. We know there are unsaved “Christians.” And we know that Jesus will not be fooled, even if the rest of us pretend to be.” — Dean Inserra
Simon Magus: Portrait of an ‘Unsaved Christian’:
1) DESIROUS of the PRAISE of MAN
2) More interested in the BENEFITS of the CHURCH than of CHRIST
3) SKEWED UNDERSTANDING of the GOSPEL
4) Deficient REPENTANCE

Good Things, Bad Things and the Main Thing | Acts 5:12-42 | The Birth of the Church

Sunday March 2, 2025 at the Hub City Church
Good Things, Bad Things and the Main Thing | Acts 5:12-42
The Birth of the Church | a teaching series through Acts
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor
Sermon Notes:
From the beginning, Jesus’ church has been marked by a BLEND of AMAZING things, DIFFICULT things, and an unwavering FOCUS on the MAIN thing.
We praise God when things go well…
When SINNERS BELIEVE the gospel (Luke 15:7)
When TRUE MINISTRY is LIVED OUT among us (1 Thessalonians 1:2-8)
When He DELIVERS us from TRIALS (2 Corinthians 1:10)
We expect to encounter challenging things…
Because PEOPLE will SIN against us (Matthew 6:14-15)
Because the ENEMY will FIGHT against us (1 Peter 5:8)
Because TRIALS will often PERPLEX us (2 Corinthians 4:8-9)
“I have learned to kiss the wave that throws me against the rock of ages.” — Charles Spurgeon
Through it all, we don’t give up on the main thing.
We keep PROCLAIMING the message of CHRIST (Colossians 1:28-29)
We STICK TOGETHER with the body of Christ (Philippians 1:27)
No matter what, we KEEP REJOICING that we BELONG to Christ (Matthew 5:11-12)

The Fearful Example of Barnabas v. Ananias | Acts 4:32-5:11 | The Birth of the Church

Sunday February 23, 2025 at the Hub City Church
The Fearful Example of Barnabas v. Ananias | Acts 4:32-5:11
The Birth of the Church | a teaching series through Acts
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor
Sermon Notes:
The good news of the great GOSPEL EXCHANGE is that while we all DESERVE DEATH and eternal SEPARATION from God, those in Christ receive FORGIVENESS of SIN and eternal LIFE with God INSTEAD!
Romans 1:29-32, 6:23, 8:6-9, 13 // Ephesians 2:4-5
“The Lord Christ comes to convinced sinners with His invitation: “Poor creatures! How sad is your condition! What has become of the beauty and glory of the image of God in which you were created? You are now in the deformed image of Satan and even worse, eternal misery lies before you. Yet look up once more; behold Me! I will put Myself in your place. I will bear that burden of guilt and punishment which would sink you to hell for ever. I will be made temporarily a curse for you, that you may have eternal blessedness.” — John Owen
The gospel radically CHANGES ALL who receive it into people who FREELY OVERFLOW with GENEROSITY to others, especially FELLOW MEMBERS of God’s redeemed FAMILY.
2 Corinthians 8:9, 9:6-8
SOMETIMES, God allows His coming WRATH on UNREPENTANT SINNERS to be poured out SOONER than expected as a fearful REMINDER to others that FAITH really is a matter of LIFE and DEATH.
Ref. Leviticus 10:1-7 // Joshua 7:1 // 2 Samuel 6:6-7
The shocking divine execution of Ananias and Saphira is a reminder to us:
- To SPEAK the TRUTH with one another. (Eph. 4:24-25)
- That salvation is by GRACE through FAITH, NOT by WORKS. (Eph. 2:8-10)
- To CONFESS and REPENT of KNOWN SIN. (Acts 3:19 // 1 Jn. 1:9 // Prov. 28:13)
