Christians on SermonAudio

The sermon identifies pride as the foundational sin behind various behavioral disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder and eating disorders, arguing that these issues often stem from a distorted view of God and a lack of intimate relationship with Him. The speaker emphasizes a counseling methodology rooted in Scripture, where individuals must confront false belief systems and spiritual strongholds through the truth of God's Word rather than relying solely on human effort or generic prayers. Specific biblical passages, such as Psalm 23 and John 10, are used to contrast the driving nature of demonic influence with the leading nature of the Good Shepherd, helping counselees recognize spiritual deception. The message highlights the necessity of submitting to God-ordained authorities, such as parental guidance, to break cycles of rebellion and control. Ultimately, the sermon presents freedom as a result of recognizing the spiritual root of suffering and allowing the truth of Scripture to dismantle the lies that sustain it.

After affirming the doctrine of the eternal security of the true believer, that genuine salvation is a gift of God's power that cannot be lost or forfeited, the message then warns that while salvation is secure, unrepentant sin carries severe consequences for the Christian life. The message identifies seven specific losses resulting from persistent disobedience, including the joy of salvation, personal testimony, God's provision, physical health, spiritual understanding, earthly life, and eternal rewards. By contrasting the assurance of eternal life with the tangible costs of sin, the preacher urges believers to flee temptation and maintain holiness. The tone is both comforting regarding salvation and convicting regarding the necessity of repentance to preserve the fullness of God's blessings.

Salvation is God's work from beginning to end. Dave Jenkins explains the biblical teaching of grace alone and calls believers to rest in Christ with humility, gratitude, and worship. For more from Contending for the Word Q&A, visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/contending-for-the-word-qa/

On this Let's Talk Pastor Rocky Stevenson of Benoni Bible Church, is joined with Kevin Swanson from Generations Media Network in the USA, and they emphasise the urgent need for Christian men to embrace spiritual strength and courage in the face of cultural decline. Drawing from the book of Joshua, it calls fathers to lead their households with decisive faith and to actively engage in a worldview battle against secular humanism. The discussion highlights the breakdown of family and society due to a loss of biblical manhood, urging men to reject comfort and instead fight for the kingdom of God. It encourages the raising of the next generation through intentional discipleship and father-son mentorship. Ultimately, the podcast asserts that true strength comes from relying on God's presence to stand firm in truth and love.

Who is good enough to go to heaven? Mark 10:17–31 looks forward to the hearing of God's Word, publicly read, in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In these fifteen verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that Christ's goodness is the only goodness good enough to bring us into the kingdom. This devotional examines the encounter between Jesus and the rich young ruler to distinguish between superficial religious effort and true saving faith. The central argument posits that the man's failure stems not merely from his attachment to wealth, but from a fundamental misunderstanding of Jesus' divinity and the depth of God's law, which requires holiness of the heart rather than merely external compliance. The text contrasts the man's sorrow over losing possessions with the Christian's gratitude for gaining everything in Christ, challenging the common assumption that material prosperity or personal sacrifice constitutes spiritual merit. The message urges hearers to recognize their own spiritual poverty and rely entirely on the sufficiency of Christ. The tone is convicting yet pastoral, emphasizing that true salvation is found in knowing Jesus as Yahweh and resting in the grace that provides all spiritual riches.

Every biblical counselor assumes their approach comes straight from Scripture alone, but what if the underlying architecture came from an apologist rather than a counselor? In this third episode of our MarsCast series on biblical counseling, Dr. Jared Poulton joins Jared and Dr. Alan Strange to reveal the hidden intellectual DNA of the biblical counseling movement: how Cornelius Van Til's presuppositional apologetics (covenantal knowledge, the antithesis, the rejection of "brute facts") became the theological scaffolding Jay Adams built his entire system on. But it's not a simple story of inheritance. Dr. Strange raises a pointed challenge about what gets lost when the antithesis is applied to counseling without its necessary counterweight, common grace, right down to what that means for how Christians assess the insights of secular psychology. If you've ever wondered why biblical counselors are so skeptical of Freud, CBT, or trauma therapy, this episode traces that instinct straight back to its source.

Spewing curses is a useless exercise whether we are on the receiving end or if we pretend to have some sort of ability to invoke God's wrath on others. Also Reference: Ecclesiastes 7:17, Proverbs 10:27, Psalm 62:11, Luke 6:28 https://bbfohio.com
