Because Christ strengthens you, you must learn to live content in every condition. 1. For contentment to grow, we must see the sovereign supply that God gives. 2. For contentment to grow, we must submit to the sacred school that God teaches. 3. For contentment to be, we must serve by the sufficient strength of God Himself. Philippians 4:10-13

The sermon contrasts the competing invitations of Wisdom and Folly, using Proverbs 9 to illustrate the critical choice between two paths. It emphasizes that biblical wisdom is not merely intellectual knowledge but a Christ-centered way of life requiring humility and teachability. While Folly offers seductive but empty pleasures that lead to spiritual death, Wisdom provides true life through repentance and trust in Jesus. The message challenges listeners to examine which voices are shaping their decisions and to recognize their personal responsibility to respond to God's call. Ultimately, it urges the audience to abandon sinful ways and follow Christ, who is the embodiment of divine wisdom. View this on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPN4YHiR0Ao

John 12:7 'Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.' The sermon examines the anointing of Jesus by Mary in Bethany, arguing that the accounts in John, Matthew, and Mark describe a single event. It highlights Mary's ministry as sacrificial, humble, and purposeful, contrasting her silent devotion with Judas's hypocritical criticism. The preacher emphasises that Christian service must prioritise spiritual obedience over social responsibilities or public approval. True worship involves setting aside personal glory to honor Christ alone, regardless of external murmuring. Believers are encouraged to serve faithfully by doing what they can for the Lord with a pure heart.

Why don't more people believe? John 12 gives us two reasons.

The sermon exalts the Bible as the greatest book in the world, identifying it through four distinct titles: the Word of God, the Word of Reconciliation, the Word of Truth, and the Word of Life. It argues that this divine text is the sole means by which estranged sinners can be reconciled to God and saved from eternal wrath. The message emphasizes the urgent need for believers to hold firmly to the purity of Scripture while actively sharing its life-giving gospel with a world hostile to spiritual truth. Ultimately, it calls listeners to recognize their sinful nature and respond in faith to Christ, who offers eternal life through the power of His Word.
