Christians on SermonAudio

This sermon explores the example of Onesiphorus as a model of Christian care, contrasting his faithful support of Paul with the abandonment by others in Asia. The central message emphasizes the duty, manner, and eternal reward of ministering to fellow believers, particularly during times of adversity and imprisonment. It highlights that true Christian friendship involves practical acts of kindness, spiritual encouragement, and a refusal to be ashamed of a brother's suffering. The preacher urges the congregation to be 'profit bringers' who actively seek to refresh and encourage one another, noting that such service is ultimately a ministry to Christ. The discourse concludes by affirming that while earthly rewards are temporary, God promises eternal mercy and recognition for those who serve His people with love.

This sermon explores the dual application of Job 5:29, addressing both the downcast sinner and the struggling believer. It begins by describing the natural and spiritual condition of sinners who are cast down due to separation from God, guilt, and the emptiness of life, offering the gospel as the definitive message of lifting up through Christ's sacrifice. The tone shifts to pastoral comfort for Christians experiencing tribulation, emphasizing that suffering is a certainty in this life but is not the final word. The preacher highlights sources of hope, including the sovereignty of God, the faithfulness of Christ, the comfort of Scripture, and the fellowship of saints. In conclusion, the message affirms that while believers may be cast down, they are not destroyed, as God provides eternal consolation and ultimate restoration.

The Bible describes a person becoming a Christian as being 'born again'. Our hearts and souls need to be made new by God. In the Bible, the Apostle Peter uses the example of a seed to explain how we can be spiritually born again through the Gospel message, which God communicates to us in the Holy Scriptures.

This sermon examines the theological tension in 1 John 3:18 regarding the relationship between believers and sin, clarifying that while Christians do not practice habitual sin, they are not immune to individual failures. The message emphasizes that the power of sin is broken in the life of a true believer, who is kept safe by the Son of God against the influence of the devil. It challenges the audience to distinguish between the saved and the unsaved, asserting that there is no middle ground or gray area in one's spiritual standing. The preacher warns against the complacency of those who remain content in the grasp of Satan and urges believers to actively guard against idols, defined as anything that takes precedence over God. The tone is pastoral yet convicting, calling for self-examination and a renewed commitment to deny oneself and serve God exclusively.

The sermon examines the inseparable triad of belief, love, and obedience presented in 1 John 5:1-5 as the definitive markers of a genuine Christian life. It argues that true faith is not the cause of salvation but the consequence of being begotten by God, emphasizing that the new birth precedes the capacity to believe. The message insists that authentic agape love for fellow believers is a natural outflow of this new nature, serving as a social test that distinguishes the saved from the unsaved. Furthermore, love is demonstrated through moral obedience to God's commandments, which are described as not grievous but as the evidence of a transformed heart. The sermon concludes by asserting that victory over the world is achieved through this unified testimony of faith, love, and obedience, challenging listeners to examine their own lives against these biblical standards.

Why is it that leaders can be guilty of injustice and oppression for years, only to be finally removed from office or publicly disgraced when a sexual scandal breaks? Why do men like Bill Gothard or Joe Biden spend years openly using their authority and forcing women and children to endure their violations of intimacy through unwanted touches or closeness, and it is accepted? How do we solve these types of problems? How can we protect not just our sons and daughters, but how can we change our culture so such evil is not permitted?In this episode, we want to ask what God's word says about authority and oppression. We know that God says all authorities are appointed by Him, but does that mean we just have to put up with evil leaders? God forbid! But often, as Christians, we forget that God has appointed multiple authorities - not just the church and home, but even other officers in the same government or other levels of government. God cares greatly about oppression, but at times, it seems as if the church does not. We need to change that. Please join us as we discuss this important topic.
