Future on SermonAudio

The sermon explores the concept of a holy calling and faithful stewardship through the narrative of Ezra transporting sacred vessels to Jerusalem. It argues that a deep understanding of one's separation to God and the weight of spiritual responsibilities motivates believers to live with purpose and avoid the misery of worldly conformity. The text emphasizes that while human effort is necessary, it is insufficient without looking to Jesus for strength and grace to endure the cross of daily discipleship. Additionally, the reality of a future day of accounting before the judgment seat of Christ serves as a powerful secondary motivation for diligence in service. Ultimately, the faithful execution of this calling advances the work of the Lord and brings glory to God through the collective labor of the church.

This study explores the profound reality of believers possessing all spiritual blessings in heavenly places through their union with Christ. It contrasts the transient nature of material prosperity with the eternal security of God's spiritual gifts, emphasizing that these blessings are irrevocable and comprehensive. The exposition highlights the source of these blessings in the Father, the means in the Son, and the application by the Spirit, covering past election, present redemption, and future inheritance. The tone is triumphant and pastoral, encouraging believers to find their identity and sufficiency in Christ rather than in worldly circumstances. The message concludes with an exhortation to respond with praise and to set one's affections on eternal things, recognizing that the Christian's true wealth is secure in glory.

It is important to know the times. Jesus gave us some information on future events.

Today we begin our exploration of the 10th judgment against Egypt. Egypt will bear the weight of the judgment, but the instruction about it is given to Israel surrounding the Lord's Passover. Today we explore those instructions, which lay the foundation Israels' historical future, and the Church's prophetic future.

This sermon examines the death of Jacob in Genesis 49, highlighting how the patriarch concludes his life with profound faith and peace despite a history of struggle. The central message emphasizes that dying well involves setting one's house in order, specifically by making clear arrangements for burial to identify with God's promises and forefathers. The phrase "gathered unto his people" is explored as a theological pointer to the resurrection and the believer's future reunion with the spiritual family in heaven. The tone is pastoral and comforting, encouraging listeners to trust in Christ's provision for forgiveness and eternal life, thereby facing death with the peace that surpasses understanding rather than anxiety.

This sermon provides an introductory study of Acts chapter one, emphasizing the historical value and supernatural evidence supporting Jesus' resurrection. The speaker details the 'infallible proofs' of Christ's physical return from the dead and distinguishes between water baptism and the subsequent baptism with the Holy Spirit. Attention is given to the ascension event and the angels' promise of Jesus' future return, while clarifying that the timing of this event remains solely under God's authority. The narrative concludes by examining the early church's gathering and the selection of Matthias to replace Judas Iscariot among the apostles.

What is the Holy Spirit's role in sharing the gospel? Dr. Robert Dean, senior pastor at West Houston Bible Church, shares that the power in evangelism comes from the Word of God. The Holy Spirit uses that truth to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. Our responsibility is to communicate clearly that salvation is a free gift received by faith alone in Christ alone. We don't have to know every answer to every question we are asked. We only need to share the gospel as clearly as we can and allow the Holy Spirit to do His work, using the Scriptures to bring the unbeliever to the point of decision.
