World Upside Down | On Guard Against Gospel Drift | Galatians 2:11-14

Sunday May 25, 2025 at the Hub City Church
On Guard Against Gospel Drift | Galatians 2:11-14
World Upside Down
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor
Sermon Notes:
ACCOUNTABILITY is ESSENTIAL in the church because EVERY CHRISTIAN is SUSCEPTIBLE to gospel DRIFT.
“We need accountability. Left to our own devices, we will soon devise or succumb to all kinds of evil. As Christians we know that we need other believers to hold us to the standards of Scripture. Life is far too difficult and we are far too sinful to live in solitude. We need community. We need accountability. And God has anticipated our need by giving us the local church as the primary means of this accountability.” — Tim Challies
- No matter how MATURE in faith, we ALL continue to have indwelling SIN that must be DEALT with.
Romans 7:15,18-19 // 1 John 1:8
- Biblical COMMUNITY affords relational PROXIMITY which affords healthy OPPORTUNITY for others to see our sinful PROCLIVITIES.
Proverbs 18:1 // Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 // Proverbs 27:17
- The Bible presents CORRECTION by those who love CHRIST and love US, not as something we should FEAR but something we should DESIRE.
Proverbs 9:8, 27:6 // Psalm 141:5 // Hebrews 3:13
- While strong, PUBLIC REBUKE is sometimes necessary, ORDINARILY correction should take the form of a GENTLE and relatively PRIVATE APPEAL to BELIEVE the gospel AFRESH.
Matthew 18:15 // Galatians 6:1 // 2 Timothy 2:24-25

God's Sovereignty Over All | Acts 12 | The Gospel for All

Sunday May 18, 2025 at the Hub City Church
God's Sovereignty Over All | Acts 12
The Gospel for All | a teaching series through Acts
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor
Sermon Notes:
"No plan of God’s can be thwarted; when He acts, no one can reverse it; no one can hold back His hand or bring Him to account for His actions. God does as He pleases, only as He pleases, and works out every event to bring about the accomplishment of His will. Such a bare unqualified statement of the sovereignty of God would terrify us if that were all we knew about God. But God is not only sovereign, He is perfect in love and infinite in wisdom.” — Jerry Bridges
God is SOVEREIGN over life and DEATH, the MISSION of His church and EVERYTHING else, therefore, we ought to LIVE BODLY to GLORIFY Him!
Romans 8:28
While no one knows the TIMING or MANNER of their own DEATH, believers can be sure that it won’t happen OUTSIDE of God’s PLAN and that when it does, they will be instantly ‘at HOME with the LORD’.
Hebrews 9:27 // 2 Corinthians 5:8
While the church will face SETBACKS and SEASONS of DIFFICULTY, it is NEVER at RISK of ultimate FAILURE because it is SUSTAINED by God’s INFINITE POWER.
Matthew 16:18 // Hebrews 12:28-29
No matter what, the SUPREMACY of Christ GUARANTEES this: in the end, all who OPPOSE Him will LOSE and all who are WITH Him will WIN.
1 Corinthians 15:20-26 // Philippians 2:9-11

Sunday May 11, 2025 at the Hub City Church
Living Up to Our Label | Acts 11:19-30
The Gospel for All | a teaching series through Acts
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor
Sermon Notes:
“The gospel is not a doctrine of the tongue, but of life. It cannot be grasped by reason and memory only, but it is fully understood when it possesses the whole soul and penetrates to the inner recesses of the heart.” — John Calvin
The ‘Christian’ label was given not just based on belief in Jesus but a lifestyle of discipleship - being told the gospel, taught to obey it, eager to tell others and faithful to teach them as well.
1. Christians never graduate from needing to be told the gospel.
1 Corinthians 15:1 // Philippians 3:1 // 2 Peter 1:12
2. Christians highly prioritize being taught to be faithful to Christ in all of life.
Matthew 28:20 // Colossians 1:28 // Philippians 1:27 // 2 Timothy 3:16-17
3. Christians naturally tell others about the hope available in Jesus.
2 Corinthians 5:20 // 1 Peter 3:15
4. Christian maturity looks like teaching others to follow Christ with us.
2 Timothy 2:2 // 1 Corinthians 11:1

The Purpose of Miracles in the Church | Acts 9:32-43 | The Gospel for All

Sunday April 27, 2025 at the Hub City Church
The Purpose of Miracles in the Church | Acts 9:32-43
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!

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

Sunday March 23, 2025 at the Hub City Church
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
