Marriages on SermonAudio

The sermon addresses the controversial topic of sexual immorality by asserting that believers must align with God's unchanging standards rather than shifting societal norms. It defines marriage strictly as a permanent, monogamous union between one biological man and one biological woman, rooted in the creation account of Genesis and affirmed by Jesus. The preacher warns against compromising biblical truth due to cultural pressure, citing the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah as a warning against unnatural desires and sexual sin. Using 1 Corinthians 6, the text clarifies that while sexual sins are serious and exclude unrepentant practitioners from the kingdom, the gospel offers forgiveness and transformation for all who turn to Christ. The message concludes with an exhortation to glorify God with one's body and rely on the Holy Spirit for victory over sin.

Call: Psalm 39 The sermon interprets Revelation 19 as the culmination of God's covenant judgment against apostate Israel, depicted as the great harlot, and the simultaneous establishment of the new covenant through the bride of Christ. It emphasizes that heaven rejoices because God's judgments are true and righteous, vindicating His people who were falsely accused and persecuted. The text highlights Christ's present reign on the throne of David, asserting that His kingdom is a current reality extending to all nations rather than a future earthly event. Believers are encouraged to find comfort in this sovereignty and to rejoice in being clothed with the alien righteousness of Christ. The preacher concludes by urging Christians to deepen their affection for God through Scripture, recognizing their blessed status as invited guests at the marriage supper of the Lamb.

This sermon explores the theological significance of the Lord's Supper as a symbolic memorial of Christ's sacrificial death, emphasizing that the elements represent rather than transform into His body and blood. The preacher highlights three key aspects of the institution: the visual picture of Jesus' broken body and shed blood, the voluntary procedure of His savage submission to the cross, and the finalized purpose of establishing a new covenant for the remission of sins. By contrasting this ordinance with erroneous views on transubstantiation and salvation by works, the message underscores that the Supper serves as a sobering time for self-examination and rededication rather than a means of earning salvation. The narrative connects the Last Supper to the upcoming Passover, urging believers to remain spiritually prepared for Christ's second coming. Ultimately, the service points backward to Calvary, inward to personal faith, and forward to the future marriage supper of the Lamb.

What does it look like to submit to one another? We've considered what it looks like in our marriages, and then in our parenting. Now, the Apostle Paul shifts his attention to the masters and servants in the church.

This sermon explores the biblical mandates for submission and honor within marriage, drawing primarily from 1 Peter 3. It addresses wives' call to submit through godly conduct rather than external adornment and husbands' responsibility to live with their wives in an understanding way, honoring them as fellow heirs of grace. The preacher clarifies that this structure reflects God's created order but strictly prohibits abuse, emphasizing mutual submission to God and the gospel-centered nature of marital relationships. By examining examples like Sarah and the sacrifice of Christ, the message presents marriage as a covenant designed for the sanctification of both spouses and the glorification of God. Ultimately, the sermon urges believers to rely on Christ's grace to fulfill these high standards, viewing their union as a testimony of divine love to the world.

The inhumanity of man to man is the persistent theme of history and literature. Our text presents one of the most dastardly events ever recorded. For the price of a cheap dance John the Baptist had his head served on a platter to the wife of Herod. Why? John had called out their sin, Herod entered an unlawful marriage. She had a "quarrel" or inner grudge, Mark records.
