If you can believe that God can create a man from the dust of the earth, you can believe that God can resurrect the dead from the grave. You can also believe that God will resurrect every saved believer from the dead and give them eternal life through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Why do Christians observe the Lord's Supper? In this message from 1 Corinthians 11:23–26, Pastor Robb Brunansky continues a four-part study on the meaning of communion by examining the first two reasons Christ gave His church this ordinance. Rather than treating the Lord's Table as an empty ritual or avoiding it out of fear, believers are called to obey Christ's command and remember His sacrificial death with reverence, gratitude, and faith. Drawing connections from the Passover to the Last Supper, this sermon highlights how communion engages both the mind and the heart, helping God's people continually proclaim the gospel through worship. The message concludes by reflecting on Christ's betrayal—revealing both the depth of humanity's sin and the immeasurable love of God, who sovereignly delivered His Son for our salvation.

The Christian is warned to walk circumspectly as his feet carry him through the muck and mire of this dirty world. But, he will need fellow Christians to help him keep his spiritual feet clean from the filth of this world. THE BIBLE Baptist Church of DeLand, Florida Pastor James W. Knox Pastor David A.

The sermon explores the profound request of Greek seekers who desired to see Jesus, using their inquiry as a gateway to reveal His true identity and mission. Jesus responds not with a personal meeting but by declaring that the hour for His glorification has arrived through self-sacrificial death, illustrated by the metaphor of a grain of wheat falling into the ground. This passage establishes a paradoxical principle for believers: those who cling to their earthly lives will lose them, while those who hate their life in this world will preserve it for eternity. Listen along as Pastor Gable outlines a clear pattern for Christian living that begins with discipleship and following Christ, moves to serving Him, and ultimately results in divine honor. The message challenges the audience to embrace the difficult reality of self-denial and suffering as the necessary path to true spiritual fruitfulness and eternal life.

The sermon explores the doctrine of the new birth, defining it as the reproduction of God's life within the believer. It identifies faith in Jesus Christ and the practice of righteousness as the primary evidences of being born again.

By examining the incarnation of Christ, the text argues that believers are called to imitate His holy character through a deep, abiding relationship with God. Ultimately, the message encourages Christians to rely on Christ's advocacy and presence for ongoing sanctification rather than self-determination.

This sermon explores the historical and theological significance of the crucifixion of Christ, detailing the physical components of the cross and the brutal process of Roman execution.

By enduring extreme pain and humiliation, Jesus atoned for sin and accomplished redemption for the elect. The message concludes by urging believers to a deeper appreciation of the cross.
