Baptists on SermonAudio

In this passage, we will see the devastating effects of refusing to follow Yahweh's commandment to destroy the wicked people living in the land of Canaan.

Though the last days can be fearfully dark, they are wonderfully bright because in them God is speaking to us by his Son. The opening verses of the letter to the Hebrews provide us with one of the most splendid testimonies to the glory of the Messiah, the Jesus of whom the writer speaks with such delight and reverence. He is the heir of all things, the agent of creation, the revealer of God, the upholder of all, the purger of sin, the ruler on high, and the name over all. Do we trust and adore this Jesus, our Christ, as he set before us in the Scripture?

Each of us must get to the point where we do something because of Calvary. We will NOT reach this point if we are ignorant of what Jesus did when He was crucified. We will not do anything if we do not have internal conviction and a desire to find relief. We will also not do anything if we refuse to repent and follow after Jesus Christ. Although it is sad that many people refuse to get to this point. It is thrilling to see people accept Christ, be baptised, and go on to follow Jesus Christ. We hope that you are among those who have reached the point of doing something because of Calvary. (Acts 2)

The sermon emphasizes the imperative to love the Lord above all else, contrasting the divine power that drives believers toward God with the spiritual forces that entice them to conform to the world. It identifies the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life as primary strategies used by the enemy to divert Christians from their purpose, citing the temptation of Jesus and the departure of Demas as examples. The message defines true love not as a fleeting emotion but as a command to be obeyed, a steadfast commitment that endures hardship, and a dedication of time, particularly in morning prayer and study of the Word. By urging believers to prioritize their relationship with God over worldly pursuits, the sermon calls for a life of obedience and perseverance that remains anchored in divine promises and spiritual strength.
