Deliverance on SermonAudio

Jesus has overcome the world, so take heart and pray. While you do so... 1. Get low--you're not too good to worry. 2. Stay sharp--you're not too good to fall. 3. Look up--you're not too good to suffer.

The Morning Devotional Season 11 | Edition 71 Psalm 111 Providence Presbyterian Church Evansville, IN Pastor's Website: https://theparchment.net/ This devotional explores Psalm 111 as a call to cultivate a heart of gratitude by reflecting on God's redemptive work and faithful provision. The text highlights the connection between ancient deliverance from Egypt and spiritual redemption, urging believers to recognize God's sovereignty in their daily lives. It emphasizes that true thankfulness requires intentional determination rather than passive observation, extending beyond personal prayer to communal worship and family instruction. The message challenges listeners to teach children contentment and to prioritize praise over petition in their spiritual disciplines. Ultimately, the sermon presents gratitude as a vital response to God's holiness and covenant faithfulness.

This midweek message explores Isaiah 51, focusing on the theme of divine encouragement for the righteous remnant amidst persecution. The message explains that God does not promise immediate temporal relief but offers comfort through prophecy regarding future justice and salvation at the Second Coming. In this passage, we see the promised blessings for the spiritual lineage of Abraham, the certainty of God's eternal righteousness, and the eventual judgment of the wicked. The message contrasts the misery of rebellion with the hope of vindication for those who trust in the Messiah. Ultimately, it calls believers to endure present suffering with confidence in God's ultimate deliverance and reign.

Are monitoring spirits taught in Scripture? In this episode of NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill examines popular deliverance teachings concerning monitoring spirits and compares those claims with the Word of God. She considers teachings from Ryan LeStrange and Tiffany Buckner, including claims that monitoring spirits work through people, jealousy, procrastination, relationships, and other circumstances. Dawn explains why the biblical reality of Satan and spiritual warfare does not establish the modern doctrine of monitoring spirits. She also warns that such teaching can create fear, suspicion, and an unhealthy focus on demonic activity. Rather than demonizing people or interpreting ordinary struggles as evidence of demonic spirits, Christians are called to submit to God, resist the devil, trust God's sovereignty, and rest in the sufficiency of Scripture. Believers in Christ have been delivered from the domain of darkness, sealed by the Holy Spirit, and equipped by God to stand firm in biblical spiritual warfare.

The Morning Devotional Season 11 | Edition 71 August 13, 2026 Psalm 111 This devotional explores Psalm 111 as a call to cultivate a heart of gratitude by reflecting on God's redemptive work and faithful provision. The message highlights the connection between divine sovereignty, covenant faithfulness, and the believer's responsibility to offer thanksgiving with their whole heart. It emphasizes that true wisdom begins with fearing the Lord and recognizing His splendor in both historical acts of deliverance and daily sustenance. The sermon urges individuals and families to consciously practice thankfulness rather than focusing solely on petitions during prayer. Ultimately, it challenges listeners to teach contentment to children and integrate public and private expressions of praise into their spiritual lives.

The sermon presents the gospel of redemption as a divine purchase where Jesus Christ pays the ultimate price for human sin through His sacrificial death. It contrasts the bondage of slavery to Satan and the justice of God against humanity with the freedom found only in trusting Christ's finished work. Using the metaphor of Hosea buying back his unfaithful wife, the message illustrates God's initiative in rescuing sinners from their self-imposed captivity and spiritual death. The preacher emphasizes that salvation is a free gift received by simple faith, not earned by religious effort or human goodness. Ultimately, the text calls listeners to recognize their desperate need for this two-fold deliverance from both divine wrath and demonic power through belief in Jesus.

Working verse by verse through John 1:30-37, the preacher shows how John the Baptist kept pointing away from himself and back to Christ, repeating the same testimony day after day: "This is he." He argues that people search for meaning, purpose and love without knowing what they are looking for, and that Jesus is the answer to every one of those questions, though His first coming addressed a spiritual problem rather than the political deliverance the crowds wanted. Drawing on Luke 1 and Matthew 16, he stresses that it was God the Father, not family or human testimony, who revealed the Son to John, and that the same revelation is what opens any person's eyes. He calls believers to find their purpose in Christ, to get alone with God as John did in the wilderness, and to keep giving out the same gospel message even when no one appears to respond. The passage closes with two disciples finally hearing and following Jesus, which he presents as the reward of faithful, repetitive witness.
