Doubt on SermonAudio

Today Jordan Snedeker continues in chapter 4 of Hebrews. Church folk can go around looking real good on the outside but be a mess inside. We have to hold fast, but to what? There is spiritual power available to everyone. We just have to know where to look. The beauty is what even though we are a mess God still wants a relationship with us. Listen and find out where we can tap into this heavenly resource. God bless you this week!

In Matthew 11, John the Baptist wrestles with doubt, and Jesus points him back to the evidence of who He is and what He has done. Throughout the chapter, we see both the danger of pride and unbelief and the gracious invitation of Jesus to those who know their need for Him. Matthew 11 gives us three simple responses: when in doubt, look to Jesus; when blinded by sin and pride, repent before Jesus; and when weary and heavy laden, humbly rest in Jesus. We cannot save ourselves or carry the weight of life on our own. Jesus invites us to come to Him and find true rest for our souls.

The sermon introduces a new series on the Book of Romans by contrasting the deceptive whispers of Satan with the transformative power of the gospel. It highlights Paul's mission to preach Christ where it has not been heard and his determination to remain unashamed of the message despite cultural pressures. The central theme emphasizes that the gospel is the sole power for salvation, breaking down all social and spiritual barriers through faith in Jesus Christ. Believers are called to recognize their separation unto the gospel and to actively share this truth with others. Ultimately, the message urges the audience to stand firm in biblical authority against doubt and to embrace the confidence found in Christ's redemptive work.

The sermon expounds on Ephesians 2 to establish that salvation is exclusively a gift of God's grace received through faith in Jesus Christ, rather than the result of human works or religious affiliation. It contrasts the death of humanity with the life provided by Christ, emphasizing that no amount of good deeds or church membership can earn redemption. The speaker warns against the danger of relying on personal merit or tradition, citing John 3 and Romans 10 to clarify that belief in Christ is the sole requirement for forgiveness and eternal life. By illustrating the futility of trying to boast in one's own efforts, the message underscores that salvation is a free gift available only through trusting in the finished work of Jesus. The ultimate intent is to urge listeners to resolve any doubts about their spiritual state by placing their complete trust in Christ alone.

The sermon explores the post-resurrection appearances of Jesus, contrasting the disciples' initial fear and supposing with Mary Magdalene's immediate recognition. It highlights how Jesus provided physical proof of His humanity to dispel doubts about His identity as a spirit. The message connects these events to Isaiah 53, demonstrating how Old Testament prophecies were fulfilled in Christ's suffering and death. The preacher emphasizes that true belief requires divine illumination of the mind rather than mere observation or human reasoning. Ultimately, the transcript urges listeners to move from inward reasoning to outward faith by seeking Jesus' revelation for salvation.

The sermon examines the grave sin of unbelief by analyzing God's lament in Numbers 14 regarding Israel's refusal to trust His promises. It highlights how unbelief is an unreasonable rejection of God's truth, driven by fear and a reliance on visible circumstances rather than divine word. The preacher emphasizes that God's patience is extensive but finite, warning that persistent distrust provokes His judgment. While addressing non-Christians with an urgent call to repentance, the message also challenges believers to overcome their own tendencies toward doubt and discontent. Finally, it urges immediate faith in Christ as the only remedy for the hardening heart.
