Christians on SermonAudio

Romans 1:6–7 is more than Paul's greeting to the church in Rome. It is a rich declaration of the Christian's identity in Christ. Believers are called to belong to Jesus Christ, loved by God, called to be saints, and given grace and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. In this message, Dave Jenkins explains how God's effective call brings sinners into union with Christ and how the gospel gives believers assurance, holiness, and peace with God.

Question 3 of the Gospel Way Catechism: Who does God reveal himself to be? The answer: He is the Lord, the great I AM, one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Spirit. He is the Creator and Ruler of all that is, seen and unseen. In this episode, we explore the identity of the one true God and what it means that he has revealed himself as Father, Son, and Spirit. We discuss how the Christian understanding of God stands in contrast to a world that often views life as meaningless or encourages us to create our own truth and purpose. Because God is our Creator and Ruler, our lives have lasting meaning, purpose, and security in him.

We review a small section of a sermon that makes some claims about the use of the word Easter in the KJV

In an age of AI, podcasts, Bible software, online teachers, and endless access to biblical information, Christians can begin to feel spiritually self-sufficient. Richard Caldwell explains from Hebrews 13 and 1 Thessalonians 5 why God still calls believers to be humble, teachable members of a local church under faithful pastors who teach the Word, model the faith, lead biblically, and keep watch over their souls. Outside resources can be profitable, but if our learning makes us proud, independent, or resistant to godly leadership, we are not applying Scripture rightly.

What does it mean that God is sovereign? Dave Jenkins explains that God reigns perfectly over creation, nations, history, and every detail of life according to His wisdom, power, and purpose. This biblical doctrine gives believers stability in uncertainty, confidence in suffering, and assurance that God is never absent, limited, or out of control.

This sermon explores the practical instructions in James chapter five regarding Christian conduct, focusing heavily on the power of prayer for healing and restoration. The speaker emphasizes that believers should bring their afflictions to God through earnest prayer and praise, trusting in His sovereignty rather than demanding specific outcomes. A significant portion addresses the role of church elders in praying for the sick with oil, clarifying that healing is God's work alone and not dependent on human faith levels or ritualistic formulas. The message warns against misusing scripture to blame victims for their suffering and instead encourages mutual confession and fervent intercession among righteous believers as a means to experience God's power and grace. Questions: What does James 5:14 mean when it says to call for the elders of the church? Should Christians still anoint the sick with oil today? What kind of oil should Christians use for anointing the sick? What does anointing with oil symbolize in James 5? Does God still heal people today? Does James 5 teach that Christians should have healing services? What is the prayer of faith in James 5:15? Does James 5:15 promise that every sick Christian will be healed? Why does James say the prayer of faith "shall save the sick"? How should church elders prepare to pray for someone who is sick? Is it wrong to pray "if it be God's will" when asking for healing? How do God's sovereignty and the power of prayer work together? Can a lack of faith keep someone from being healed? Why wasn't Paul able to heal everyone who was sick? Why did God not remove Paul's thorn in the flesh?
