fear on SermonAudio

Beloved in the Lord Jesus: As Jacob was getting ready to enter his homeland in obedience to God, he thought of his brother who had threatened to kill him. He had to occupy the land and wait for Messiah, but with Laban returning home, there was yet a two-legged, hairy threat before him. He is concerned about the future of his family, his servants, his animals…wondering if his brother, Esau, would attack him for the things he did 20 years earlier. He knew Eastern people could hold grudges for a very long time. Here's how Jacob dealt with this. Our headings are: 1. Jacob's Preparation 2. Jacob's Problem 3. Jacob's Prayer Our goals are: That you will learn to lean upon the Lord for help in all you daily tasks, tasks that contribute the building of the kingdom of Jesus.

Isaiah 7 brings us into a time of political fear and national crisis. King Ahaz must decide whether he will trust the Lord or rely on human solutions. Through Isaiah, God calls His people to stand firm in faith and gives the promise of Immanuel, God with us. In this episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, Dave Jenkins explains the danger of fear and unbelief, the false appearance of religious faith, and the ultimate fulfillment of Isaiah 7:14 in Jesus Christ. Christ is Immanuel, God with us in suffering, uncertainty, and every trial. For more from Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/reading-the-bible-daily-with-dave/

This is perhaps one of the greatest stories in the Bible that shows us the amazing power of God in regeneration. Remember, the 4 kinds of soil here, represents 4 hearts and how they respond to the Gospel of Christ. The first 3 souls are unconverted and not regenerated, however, the 4th soul is considered good soil and the seed is received and germinates in the heart of this person -this is regeneration and is a believer now in the Lord Jesus Christ. This good soil(heart) was prepared by God for Salvation. Only God can change the nature of man from a God hater to a heart that has the Love of God. From an unbeliever to a believer or from a sinner to a saint. To God be the Glory!

CASE 30. What judgment must a person form about his state, or what must he do, if he is in total darkness and cannot see anything of a work of grace in his heart? What difference is there between the hypocrite and the real believer? The one is always full of selfflattery, entertaining the kindest thoughts of his state; the other writes bitter things against himself, ever humble, and afraid lest in entertaining a hope of an interest in Jesus, he would be esteemed presumption. He appears so unworthy in his own eyes, so vile and despicable, that he dares not draw a favourable conclusion concerning himself, but as he knows he has deserved the everlasting indignation of a just and holy God, so he is ready to fear that will be his awful portion, notwithstanding all the promises of Divine grace

Jeremiah 49:8 (KJV) Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I will visit him. Jeremiah 49:30 (KJV) Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.

This sermon examines the sixth petition of the Lord's Prayer, focusing on the plea to be led not into temptation but delivered from evil. The preacher clarifies that while God never tempts anyone to sin, He sovereignly ordains circumstances where believers may face trials, requiring constant reliance on His grace. The text highlights three key aspects: understanding the pervasive nature of spiritual warfare against the world, the devil, and the flesh; fearing the destructive power of sin more than external afflictions; and seeking deliverance through Christ's intercession and the Holy Spirit's strength. In closing, the message urges believers to actively avoid sinful opportunities, support one another in accountability, and look forward to final glorification where sin is entirely removed.

The sermon examines Romans 1:21-23 to explain how humanity suppresses the truth of God's existence despite clear evidence in creation. It identifies four primary reasons for this rejection: spiritual blindness, willful forgetting of creation, ignoring the witness of nature, and the fear of exposure to divine judgment. The central theme is the foolish exchange where people trade the glory of the immortal God for mortal idols due to a hardened heart and total depravity. While unbelief stems from a love of sin and a desire to avoid accountability, the message contrasts this with the sovereign grace that regenerates the elect. Ultimately, it affirms that salvation comes only through Christ, who covers believers with righteousness and rescues them from condemnation.
