Baptists on SermonAudio

Chapel | September 11th, 2026 | Bruce Love | What is in Thine Hand?| Exodus 4:1-4

Jesus in Psalm 57:6

The sermon emphasizes that Jesus Christ is the sole Savior and the exclusive focus of the Christian faith, rejecting any addition of works or human effort to salvation. Drawing primarily from Matthew 17:8 and the epistles of Paul, it argues that true preaching must center entirely on Christ crucified rather than legalistic demands. The text highlights that salvation is a gift of grace received through God-given faith, not earned by merit or religious performance. It further illustrates the supremacy of knowing Christ over all worldly knowledge and religious prestige, citing Paul's desire to count everything as loss for the sake of winning Christ. Ultimately, the message calls believers to fix their eyes solely on Jesus as the mediator, refuge, and object of eternal life.

This Bible study continues the study of Stephen's defense before the Sanhedrin by analyzing his historical argument regarding God's pattern of sending deliverers who are rejected by His people. The speaker traces this pattern through the lives of Joseph and Moses, highlighting how both men were initially dismissed by Israel despite being chosen by God for their salvation. By examining Moses' early life in Egypt, his flight to the wilderness, and his commission at the burning bush, the transcript illustrates that the Jewish leadership has consistently opposed those sent to rescue them. The central message connects this historical rejection to the current audience's rejection of Jesus Christ, identifying Him as the ultimate Deliverer. The preacher urges listeners to cease relying on their own righteousness and instead place their complete trust in Jesus for salvation.

Are you a gospel trumpet? That is the dominant image which Spurgeon employs for his sermon from 1 Thessalonians 1:8 about sounding forth the word of the Lord. The sermon builds to some applications which are very specific to the Metropolitan Tabernacle in Spurgeon's time, and we need to take that into account as we reach them. However, they can easily be turned to help us in our own situations, and the principles which lie behind them are broadly true. So, we are urged to consider the trumpeters themselves, the kind of men who make God's word to sound out, with Spurgeon ranging across Paul's description of the Thessalonian believers in his letters to them. This is really a brief study in Christian character. Then we turn to the trumpets, and see how it is that they give forth such a penetrating sound, and here we are in the realm of Christian experience and obedience. Thirdly, Spurgeon insists that there was a pressing present need for just such a trumpet-blast as sounded from the Thessalonian believers, and here the flavour of the hour begins to bleed through, but in a way that I think makes the modern reader add his, "Amen!" to the preacher's assessment. Finally comes the question of whether or not his immediate congregation had an obligation to sound forth that trumpet-note. While some of the qualities and opportunities Spurgeon identifies are very tightly tied to the Tabernacle gathering, they raise questions and challenges for every church and each believer as to how we respond to the need of the present hour.
