Christians on SermonAudio

Since Christians walk by faith and not by sight, things are not always as they seem. Such is the case when Jesus stands before the Sanhedrin's kangaroo court. The religious leaders appear to have the upper hand. But Jesus confidently does three things: He calls our their wickedness, remains silent, and then tells them that the tables will soon be turned. Christians are reminded that things are not always as they seem and that Jesus and his followers will have the last word.

Since Jesus Christ is the head of the church, the Christian believer is obligated to obey the commandments of the Lord Jesus and submit to His will just as the Son of God submitted to the will of His Father and obeyed His commandments.

2026-09-13 What Are Sacraments?

Much energy, enthusiasm, and effort are required by the Christian as he takes part in the greatest race of all time.

The sermon addresses common theological confusions within the church by distinguishing between reformation and regeneration, religion and relationship, regret and repentance, reputation and righteousness, and reason and responsibility. It emphasizes that true salvation requires a spiritual rebirth through the Holy Spirit rather than mere moral improvement or adherence to human traditions. The preacher argues that genuine faith involves a personal relationship with Jesus Christ based on God's Word, contrasting this with empty religious rituals and worldly sorrow. Believers are urged to prioritize divine righteousness over public opinion and to fulfill their evangelistic responsibilities without using excuses to avoid witnessing. Ultimately, the message calls for clarity in understanding the gospel to ensure authentic conversion and faithful Christian living.

I Corinthians 3 (Continuation to Coughlin's seron on August 9, 2026)

Why does prayer so often feel lifeless, distracted, or unreal? Why can an hour meant for communion with God become a burden rather than a joy? In *The Still Hour*, Austin Phelps speaks honestly to believers who hunger for God's presence yet struggle to find freedom and delight in prayer. He examines the hidden obstacles that weaken devotion—including cherished sin, unbelief, vague desires, mental laziness, hurried habits, and an excessive focus on self. With searching insight and vivid illustrations, he shows how prayer can become more than a religious obligation: it can be the living communion of a soul with a present and faithful Friend. Phelps calls Christians to approach God with definite desires, confident faith, thoughtful preparation, and sufficient time—to seek not merely the act of prayer, but the reality of God Himself. He also encourages brief, heartfelt prayers throughout the day, joining ordinary life to an ongoing fellowship with heaven.
