Christians on SermonAudio

This sermon explores the nature and growth of God's kingdom through three parables in Matthew 13, addressing Christian tendencies toward either excessive optimism or pessimism regarding the church's mission. The preacher explains that the kingdom begins insignificantly but expands inexorably through the gospel, ultimately encompassing all nations. It further clarifies that good and evil coexist in the world until the final harvest, where Christ will separate the righteous from the wicked. This dual reality offers comfort to believers about their future glory while issuing a solemn warning of judgment for those outside of Christ. The message concludes with an urgent call to faith and prayer for the expansion of God's kingdom.

The Holy Bible addresses ten issues of present-day cultural significance which are offensive to God. The Christian is obligated to agree with God on all of these issues and reject our God-hating culture. THE BIBLE Baptist Church of DeLand, Florida Pastor James W. Knox Pastor David A.

Dr. Schmidt examines the life-changing power of God's Word and the necessity of every Christian being biblically literate.

What does victory in Christ mean for believers today? Through His death and resurrection, Jesus Christ has defeated sin, death, and the powers of darkness. The enemy remains active, but the outcome of the battle is no longer uncertain. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains why Christians do not fight to earn victory. Instead, they stand firm in the victory Christ has already secured through His finished work.

2026-08-16 AM Judgment or Mercy?

Ecclesiastes 4 takes an honest look at life in a fallen world. Solomon considers oppression, envy, loneliness, selfish ambition, companionship, and the temporary nature of human success. In this episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, Dave Jenkins explains why ambition driven by comparison cannot satisfy, why isolation leads to misery, and why God designed people for relationships and community. Ecclesiastes 4:9 declares, "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil." Life under the sun can feel lonely, unjust, and heavy, but Christians are not meant to walk alone. Through Christ, believers are reconciled to God and brought into fellowship with His people. God gives His people the local church so they can walk together, bear one another's burdens, and encourage one another in a broken world.
