Future on SermonAudio

The sermon examines the abuse of the Lord's Supper in the Corinthian church, where social divisions and selfishness undermined the gospel message of unity in Christ. It argues that such factions deny the oneness of believers and defile worship, contrasting the Corinthian behavior with the biblical call to prefer others and maintain scriptural order. The teaching emphasizes that the ordinance is Christ-centered, serving as a remembrance of His sacrifice and a proclamation of His death until He returns. By referencing the regulative principle of worship and the eschatological hope of the future kingdom, the message urges the congregation to receive the Supper with reflection, thanksgiving, and a conscious awareness of their shared identity as the body of Christ.

Series: The Church: God's Masterpiece Message: The Church 44 - The Present & Future of the Church Pt.1 Speaker: Pastor Dale Pearson Pastor Dale Pearson teaches the forty-forth message in The Church: God's Masterpiece Series, with a message titled, "The Church 44 - The Present & Future of the Church Pt.1" reviewing: A. The Key to Understanding the Book of "Revelation". B. The Present Status of the Church.

The sermon centers on the assurance of God's unchanging love and grace toward His people amidst affliction and trial. Drawing primarily from Isaiah 43, the message outlines ten specific promises from God, including redemption, a personal call, and the believer's status as God's precious possession. These promises are presented as a source of comfort that silences fear and provides confidence in God's steadfast presence and power. The teaching emphasizes that while believers may face suffering due to sin or circumstance, God's grace abounds more than sin, securing the believer's future and ultimate glory. The tone is pastoral and encouraging, urging the congregation to find rest and hope in these divine assurances rather than in their own strength.

Beloved in the Lord Jesus: Jacob made the mess he was in and he had to clean it up… and he needed help to clean it up! Because he was afraid of his brother Esau, he sent his servants with 550 animals to bribe his brother back into friendship. In doing this, he endangered himself, his wife, children, and his future work of establishing himself in Canaan and wait for Messiah to come to save the world. But Jacob met with Jesus! At first, he wrestled with Jesus in his own stubbornness, but then when Jesus humbled him, he moved from wrestling to clinging to Jesus. Jacob then pleaded for blessings and Jesus reassured him of help to occupy the land and wait for Messiah. It was a reminder Jacob did not need Esau's help. See today how Jacob had to dig his way out…with help – help from his Covenant God! Our headings are: 1. Jacob's Actions to Pacify Esau 2. Esau's Acceptance of Jacob's family 3. Esau's Acceptance of Jacob's gift Our goals are: That you will be warned not to think you are wiser than God, but you will submit to his guidance as you work to establish Jesus' kingdom throughout the world.

This sermon explores the central role of Jesus Christ as the Deliverer within the overarching narrative of the Bible, tracing the thread of redemption from the Old Testament to the New. It begins by identifying early hints of the Messiah in Genesis, including the serpent-crushing seed, the universal blessing promised to Abraham, and the royal line of Judah. The presentation then confirms Jesus as the fulfillment of these promises, highlighting his dual nature as both the promised human son and the divine Son of God. A significant portion of the message is dedicated to examining 'picture promises' or types in the Old Testament, such as Adam, the Exodus, and the sacrificial system, which serve as sketches pointing to Christ's superior work as the true representative, redeemer, and high priest. The sermon concludes by emphasizing the 'already-not-yet' tension of the gospel, where Christ has accomplished salvation but the full consummation of God's kingdom remains future, inviting believers to find hope in this ongoing story.
