BAPTISTS on SermonAudio

As Christians our obligation must first be to obey the Lord.

Barnabas and Saul are sent out by the Holy Spirit and by the church. As we follow them on this first missionary campaign, we simply observe where they went, what they did, who and what they found, what they said, and what the Lord God accomplished. Here is a tale of gospel opportunity and spiritual opposition, of the triumph of the good news of Jesus Christ.

In this Psalm 1 expository sermon, explore The Way of Prosperity & The Way That Perishes Part 1 to discover true spiritual blessing. Psalm 1 serves as the magnificent gateway to the entire book of Psalms. It presents a stark contrast between two types of people and their final destinies before a holy God. True spiritual prosperity is not found in human moralism but is a direct result of God rescuing a sinner by grace. The righteous man is planted by streams of water and nourished entirely by the eternal word of God. This spiritual vitality produces lasting fruit regardless of earthly circumstances or seasons of drought. Meanwhile, those who reject God remain spiritually dead by nature and separated from His covenant blessings. Ultimately, this passage demands a personal response regarding where you stand before the Lord. The impending day of judgment will permanently separate the congregation of the righteous from the wicked. We must look to Christ alone for our salvation and delight fully in His revealed truth. Key Biblical Takeaways: - True blessing is a divine gift of grace rather than the result of human moralism or fleshly effort. - The righteous are firmly planted and nourished by God to bear spiritual fruit in every season of life. - Mankind is naturally dead in sin until God sovereignly acts to regenerate and separate a people for Himself. - A final day of judgment will perfectly and eternally separate the righteous from the unrepentant wicked.

An exposition of 1 Timothy 3:2-3 continuing a survey of the apostolic qualifications for the eldership. The sermon examines the character traits Paul requires of a bishop — blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, gentle, not quarrelsome, and not covetous — treating each as a binding standard for qualified male oversight in the church of God. Main points: - the positive qualifications required of an elder (1 Timothy 3:2) - the negative qualifications — what an elder must not be (1 Timothy 3:3) Scripture references: - 1 Timothy 2:12; 3:1-16 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-1-timothy-3-the-qualifications-for-elders-part-2-2 Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai
