Weekly messages from Sam Rainer - lead pastor of West Bradenton Baptist Church.
28 OCT 2024 · Pastor Sam Rainer preaches through every verse of Matthew’s gospel. This sermon covers Matthew 23:1-36. Jesus rebukes the religious leaders. The Pharisees and scribes had “crushed people with unbearable religious demands.” Christian hypocrisy occurs when you make yourself the priority over God. Christian legalism is excessive conformity to a moral code or Law with the intent of controlling others. All of us must guard our hearts against the dark religion of legalism.
21 OCT 2024 · Pastor Sam Rainer preaches through every verse of Matthew’s gospel. This sermon covers Matthew 25:31-46 and why the church should serve the “least of these.” An outward focus makes you stronger. An inward focus makes you weaker. Who should you serve? Whoever God puts in front of you!
14 OCT 2024 · After Hurricane Milton, Pastor Sam preaches about finding safety and security in Christ. The text is Psalm 46. Overcoming insecurity is only accomplished through being overcome by God’s security. Only Jesus is strong enough and good enough to save you.

23 SEP 2024 · Pastor Sam Rainer preaches through every verse of Matthew’s gospel. This sermon covers Matthew 21:12-27. The cursing of the fig tree and the cleansing of the temple complex are two interconnected stories with a significant meaning. Jesus condemns the religious system that is all flash and no substance.
16 SEP 2024 · Pastor Sam Rainer preaches through every verse of Matthew’s gospel. This sermon covers Matthew 20:1-34. Is God unfair to people? There are two major ways we complain about God being unfair. First, we see good things happen to undeserving people. Second, we see bad things happen to deserving people. The problem with these perspectives is we become the judge as to who is deserving or undeserving. What is the proper perspective? Matthew 20 reveals God’s answer.

The text is about the rich, young ruler and why he struggled to come to faith in Christ. Who is rich? What makes a person rich? You can’t buy your way into heaven. You can’t work your way into heaven. Salvation never comes on human terms, but salvation is available to everyone on God’s terms.
2 SEP 2024 · Pastor Sam Rainer preaches through every verse of Matthew’s gospel. This sermon covers Matthew 18:12-35 and the difference between reconciliation and forgiveness.

Pastor Sam reveals the four steps to reconciliation and the questions you must ask before pursuing reconciliation.
