Preaching on SermonAudio

Compromise often begins with small departures from God's Word. Dave Jenkins explains how softened doctrine weakens the church's witness, confuses believers, and obscures the gospel. Drawing on Scripture and lessons from church history, he calls Christians to sound doctrine, repentance, faithful preaching, and confidence in the sufficiency of God's Word.

1 Corinthians 1:18 "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." King James Version

13th October.

While Spurgeon is probably typecast as a classic three-pointer, his sermons actually show quite a variety in structure. This is a simple two-headed sermon, reflected in the title itself. How can peace be gained? How can peace be broken? Under the first heading, Spurgeon insists that true peace, the only peace worth having, is God's own gift, spoken to his people who are holy. He celebrates the certainty of it and explores something of the beauty of it. Then he comes down from the heights and considers the loss of our peace. Here the preacher shows himself the pastor. The text emphasises that we can lose our peace by turning back to folly, and while that is a proper consideration, Spurgeon takes a few moments to consider some of the other ways in which peace can be lost, not all of them through the sins and failings of true believers. His intention is not to offer us excuses, but not to lay the wrong burden on the wrong heart. The ground cleared, he asks very bluntly about the kinds of sins which lurk in our souls, and which can be the reason why we lose the peace which the Lord speaks. The probing is painful, the speech being plain, and a sensitive heart will find good reason to lament its own folly. Spurgeon concludes with exhortation, giving us a brief barrage of reasons to turn our backs upon folly once and for all, and not to go back to the paths which, because of grace, we have left.

Jesus, age 12, shares time with the scholars of Israel. The preaching of John the Baptist and his arrest.

Please pray for the Stockton-on-Tees evangelism, Thursdays at 11:30 am on the Stockton High Street near the fountain. Summary: The preacher argues that Jesus, though equal with God, humbled Himself by taking on human nature and dying on the cross to satisfy divine justice for sinners. The message contrasts the futility of human works and self-reliance with the sufficiency of faith in Christ alone, urging listeners to recognize their need for a Saviour. It presents the Gospel as a free gift of grace that offers eternal life and forgiveness, warning of the eternal consequences of rejecting this offer.
