Future on SermonAudio

In Ephesians 1:7–12, Paul reveals that God's saving work in Christ extends far beyond the forgiveness of sins. Through three glorious truths- redemption, revelation, and inheritance- we see how God graciously redeems His people, unfolds His eternal purpose to unite all things in Christ, and secures an everlasting inheritance for His adopted children. Christ's blood has purchased our forgiveness, God's sovereign plan is unfolding according to His perfect will, and our future is secure in Him. These blessings are not earned through human effort but freely given according to the riches of God's grace. This sermon calls believers to rest in Christ's finished work, live under His lordship, and trust His promises amid life's uncertainties. From our redemption to our eternal inheritance, all things are to the praise of God's glory.

Sermon | John 7:39 | Sunday Morning Service, October 25 2026. Preacher: Rocky Stevenson This sermon explores John 7:39, identifying the 'living water' promised by Jesus as the Holy Spirit, who was not yet given because Jesus had not yet been glorified. The exposition clarifies that the Spirit's permanent indwelling of believers is a new covenant blessing secured by Christ's death, resurrection, and ascension, distinguishing this from the temporary empowerment seen in the Old Testament. It emphasizes that the Spirit is a person, not a force, and is received by faith as a seal and down payment on the believer's future inheritance. The message challenges Christians to stop grieving the Spirit through sin and self-reliance, urging them to rely on His presence for daily sanctification and to look forward to the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises in the age to come. #holy #faith #John #water #spirit #livingwater #feast Visit Benoni Bible Church: www.benonibiblechurch.co.za Address: 149 President Brand Rd, Rynfield, Benoni - view on Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/oag383xq3U2b7RQN6 Copyright © 2026, Benoni Bible Church.

Be of Good Cheer I. In the Storm II. Because of Christ III. Into the Future

This sermon explores the narrative of Abraham's test in Genesis 22, framing it as a demonstration of faith that trusts God's future promises even in the face of immediate loss. The central theme is that true faith is not merely intellectual assent but is evidenced by obedient works, as Abraham acts on the conviction that God will provide. The passage is interpreted christologically, identifying the ram as a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ, who serves as the ultimate substitute sacrifice for humanity's sins. The sermon connects this Old Testament event to the New Testament understanding of the new covenant, emphasizing that God's provision in Christ confirms His faithfulness to keep His promises. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to live with confidence in God's provision, allowing their faith to produce active obedience and hope in the midst of life's trials.

This sermon examines the final Passover meal of Jesus with his disciples, presenting it as a pivotal moment in redemption history that connects the Old Testament deliverance from Egypt to the New Testament fulfillment in Christ. The message is structured around three key images: the Lamb, representing Jesus as the true Passover sacrifice who delivers sinners from judgment; the Table, illustrating Jesus' earnest desire for intimate fellowship with his people despite their imperfections; and the Kingdom, pointing to the future glory and hope that surpasses the suffering of the cross. By grounding the narrative in the historical context of Exodus and the theological weight of 1 Corinthians, the sermon emphasizes that salvation is entirely God's provision, not human effort. The tone is both comforting and convicting, urging believers to find rest in the finished work of Christ while maintaining confident hope in the coming kingdom, where suffering will end and believers will dwell eternally with their King.

Sermon | Esther 9:20-10:3 | Sunday Evening Service, October 25 2026. Preacher: Rocky Stevenson This sermon examines the concluding chapters of the book of Esther, identifying three witnesses to God's faithfulness: the feast of Purim, the written letters, and the figure of Mordecai. Ps Rocky argues that these elements testify to God's preservation of Israel during the diaspora, fulfilling promises made in Leviticus and Jeremiah that He would not reject His people even in exile. The message connects this historical deliverance to the broader theological narrative of Romans 9-11, asserting that God's covenants with Israel remain irrevocable and that the church, as grafted-in Gentiles, must maintain humility and pray for Israel's ultimate salvation. The sermon concludes by pointing to the future national turning of Israel to Jesus Christ, presenting Purim as a foreshadowing of the greater redemption and eternal reign of the Messiah. #holy #faith #esther #covenant #israel #faithfulness Visit Benoni Bible Church: www.benonibiblechurch.co.za Address: 149 President Brand Rd, Rynfield, Benoni - view on Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/oag383xq3U2b7RQN6 Copyright © 2026, Benoni Bible Church.

THE DESPISED SERVANT (Isa 53:1-3) 1. Future Israel Confesses Her Unbelief V1 2. Future Israel Confesses the Resons for her Unbelief V2-3

THE MYSTERY OF GILGAL! Joshua 4:19–24; 5:1–12 (KJV) In Lesson 4 of What Mean Ye by These Stones?, We explore the biblical significance of Gilgal, the archaeological discoveries associated with Professor Adam Zertal, and the remarkable spiritual message of the memorial stones. Discover how Gilgal became a place of remembrance, covenant renewal, and preparation for Israel's future. One memorial stood at the place where Israel had arrived. Another marked the place where the priests had stood in the river. ONE REMINDED THEM WHERE GOD BROUGHT THEM THROUGH. THE OTHER REMINDED THEM WHERE GOD BROUGHT THEM TO. Now let me ask you something. What memorials are you leaving for your children? Not necessarily monuments made of stone. I'm talking about spiritual memorials. A Bible filled with handwritten notes. A testimony of salvation. A history of answered prayers. A family that remembers God's faithfulness. Church, don't leave the next generation merely a building. LEAVE THEM A TESTIMONY! This study carefully distinguishes biblical certainty from archaeological interpretation while revealing a powerful truth for believers today: "God never intended His people to forget where He brought them from, what He brought them through, or where He was leading them!" The lesson concludes by connecting the memorial stones at Gilgal with the greatest stone ever rolled away—the stone at the empty tomb of Jesus Christ."

The sermon addresses the human tendency to romanticize the past by contrasting the diminished appearance of the rebuilt temple with the promise of future glory found in Haggai 2. It argues that believers should not fixate on 'glory days' that have passed, but rather find strength in the present reality of God's presence, as emphasized during the Feast of Booths. The text connects this prophetic promise to the New Testament revelation that Christ's death tore the veil, granting direct access to God and initiating a gathering of nations into His house. This perspective shifts the believer's hope from a nostalgic past to a future where God dwells with His people, thereby encouraging perseverance in the ordinary tasks of the present age. The message concludes with an invitation to the Lord's Table, affirming that Christ is currently with His people and that the ultimate glory of God's kingdom is yet to come.
