Hell on SermonAudio

The sermon explores the theological basis for missionary involvement by examining the call of Moses in Exodus 3, arguing that the entire Bible centers on the mission to save the lost. The central message identifies three primary reasons for apathy toward missions: a failure to visualize the affliction of the lost in hell, a failure to hear their cry of anguish, and a failure to recognize the Great Commission as a divine command rather than an optional suggestion. Through vivid illustrations, including the reality of eternal judgment and the accountability of believers at the white throne judgment, listen along as Brother Larry Harrison urges the congregation to see the lost as real people facing real consequences. The tone is convicting and urgent, challenging listeners to move from passive belief to active participation in spreading the gospel, whether by going themselves or supporting those who do.

OUTLINE: Connecting with the previous two sermons: How does Jesus show the sin of adultery to be something deeper than the act of adultery itself (5:27–28)? 1) How Numb We've Become! 2) Guard your Heart! 3) Already Adultery! Christological Conclusion: King David asks in Psalm 24: "Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place?" How do you answer these two questions?? Summary AI Generated....... In this sermon on Matthew 5:27-30, Pastor Geoff explains that Jesus deepens the seventh commandment, teaching that adultery begins not merely with an outward act but with lust in the heart. Just as Jesus previously exposed anger as the root of murder, He now reveals lust as a heart-level sin that leads to adultery and many destructive consequences. The pastor challenges believers to consider how modern culture has normalized and desensitized people to sexual sin, emphasizing that lust is a universal struggle that affects thoughts, desires, and actions. Jesus calls His followers to guard their hearts vigilantly, recognizing that sinful behavior flows from inward desires rather than merely external circumstances. The sermon stresses that God sees every thought and motive, exposing self-deception and reminding believers that outward restraint alone does not equal righteousness. Yet the message ultimately points to hope in Christ, who alone lived without sin, fulfilled God's law perfectly, and offers forgiveness, transformation, and power through the Holy Spirit to help believers fight lust and pursue holiness. Through His grace, Christians can live as new creations, growing in purity and devotion to God.

The sermon explores Ecclesiastes 9 through the lens of a worldly perspective, emphasizing that Solomon's observations reflect a fleshly viewpoint where life appears as vanity. It clarifies that while death is the common event for all, it is not the end of the story, refuting the idea that the grave is hell by pointing to the eternal existence of the soul. The text addresses the concept of 'time and chance,' explaining that life's unpredictability and suffering are not always direct results of personal sin but part of God's sovereign plan. The message encourages believers to live with joy and purpose in the present, recognizing that their true reward lies in eternity rather than in earthly achievements. Finally, it highlights the power of wisdom and individual influence, urging the congregation to be builders of the church rather than destroyers.

In this multi-part series, we journey through Volume II of Jonathan Edwards's Works to explore how one of history's keenest theological minds wielded both the thunder of divine judgment and the blinding beauty of sovereign grace. From the terrifying, Old Testament-anchored metaphors of Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God and Sinners in Zion Tenderly Warned, to the surgical dissection of the self-deceived heart in Hypocrites Deficient in Prayer, Edwards deployed the stark reality of hell not to terrorize for terror's sake, but as a diagnostic hammer to shatter carnal security, strip away false hopes, and drive awakened souls into the means of grace. Yet, as we trace his deep psychological insights through the lens of human inability, duty, and the urgency of seeking, we discover that this dark backdrop of divine justice was intentionally crafted to illuminate its true counterweight: the breathtaking "conjunction of diverse excellencies" in Jesus Christ, whose infinite majesty, tender meekness, and irresistible sweetness offer the only true refuge for a desperate world.

What will heaven actually be like? Is it a faraway place floating somewhere in the clouds, or is there more to the story? Pastor Jim Scudder opens a new mini-series on heaven by answering the questions people really ask, and answering them from Scripture rather than guesswork. In this message from the series Heaven and Hell, Pastor Scudder at Quentin Road Baptist Church begins with where heaven is, then walks through John's glimpse of the throne room in Revelation 4: the rainbow circle, the twenty-four elders, the lightning and thunder. He then turns to the New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven in Revelation 21 and 22, with its twelve gates, twelve foundations, and a river of life. Along the way he asks whether we will miss our old lives and what we will actually do in eternity. It is a taste of heaven for anyone who is hurting, missing someone who knew Jesus, or needs hope for the road ahead. And it ends with the question that matters most: how do you get there?
