I'll Be Honest

The world calls the cross foolish—but God saves through what looks weak. This sermon opens up Paul’s argument that Christ crucified is God’s wisdom and power, cutting down human pride so our faith rests on God, not on man.

Ryan Fullerton | Part 2 | After weeks in Matthew 19 and 1 Corinthians 7, Ryan Fullerton turns to Ephesians 5 and asks how a local church can actively help single Christians who desire marriage to find a godly spouse. This message walks through character, covenant, counsel, and practical wisdom on dating, showing how pastors, parents, and the whole congregation can support singles toward Christ-honoring marriages.

Matthew 19 and 1 Corinthians 7 raise honest questions about marriage, singleness, desire, and calling. In this sermon, Ryan Fullerton walks through Jesus’ words on “it is better not to marry,” the so-called “gift of singleness,” and how the church should love and honor singles, widows, and those who long to be married but are not.

A young man under deep conviction seeks spiritual help, but his uncle gives ruinous counsel—minimizing sin and soothing the very conscience God had awakened. Distressed by this false peace, he returns to his pastor, who warns him that such advice can hinder salvation. Guided back to Scripture and to a true sense of his need for Christ, the young man ultimately finds genuine hope. The sketch warns against comforting a sinner when God is calling him to repentance.

From the woman at the well in John 4 to Jeremiah’s “broken cisterns,” this sermon shows how Jesus alone gives living water that truly satisfies—spiritually, intellectually, and emotionally—so that your soul no longer has to chase the world for peace, purpose, and joy.

Is unforgiveness secretly blocking your prayers? In this message from Mark 11:22–25, we look beyond “Do I have enough faith?” and ask a deeper question: “Am I holding on to offenses?” Drawing from Jesus’ words on prayer and forgiveness, the parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18, and the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6, we see how clinging to bitterness can turn our prayer life into “airplane mode” before God. True grace not only cancels our unpayable debt of sin, it produces a heart that forgives others from the heart. If your prayers feel like they’re hitting a brass ceiling, this sermon will help you examine your heart, let go of offenses, and seek the kind of forgiveness that leads to unhindered fellowship with God.

In this sermon from Mark 11:20–25 (Part 1), the preacher unpacks Jesus’ words about faith that moves mountains, exploring the tension between bold belief and humble submission to God’s will. Through vivid illustrations and honest wrestling with the text, we see how true faith leads to prayer that depends wholly on God, not self-sufficiency.

There is yet another form of backsliding that must be mentioned, especially since many in our present age have been overtaken by it: an eager and consuming involvement in political disputes.

The state of the world in recent times has stirred up the attention and conversation of people in every class of society. As one political party or another has gained success, people’s minds have become deeply affected—some filled with fear that their side will be defeated, others overflowing with excitement, as if a new world of freedom, peace, and universal happiness were about to begin.....
