Responsibility on SermonAudio

Sermon | Esther 9:1-16 | Sunday Evening Service, October 18 2026. Preacher: Rocky Stevenson The sermon explores the dual themes of divine reversal and human restraint found in Esther 9, highlighting how God flips the fate of His people from destruction to victory. It connects this event to the historical disobedience of King Saul in 1 Samuel 15, arguing that the Jews' refusal to plunder their enemies, despite having legal right to do so, completes a cycle of obedience that was failed five centuries prior. Ps Rocky emphasizes that God's covenant faithfulness remains irrevocable even amidst Israel's disobedience, using this narrative to illustrate the broader theological truth that God's grace is displayed against the backdrop of human sin. By referencing Romans 11 and 12, the message concludes that the appropriate response to God's mercy is not entitlement or greed, but a transformed life characterized by holy restraint and gratitude. #reversal #restraint #obedience #covenant #grace Visit Benoni Bible Church: www.benonibiblechurch.co.za Address: 149 President Brand Rd, Rynfield, Benoni - view on Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/oag383xq3U2b7RQN6 Copyright © 2026, Benoni Bible Church.

Peter's second sermon in Acts is directed specifically to those who were responsible for the murder of Jesus. A message of both condemnation and of hope.

How the power of Jesus in our lives today is tied directly to the potency of His words and the response His Words deserve from us on a daily basis.

In Genesis 19:12–29, Lot and his family face God's coming judgment upon Sodom and Gomorrah. Through their responses—laughing, lingering, and looking back—we see the dangers of rejecting God's warnings, delaying obedience, and clinging to the world. Yet even in Lot's hesitation, God's extraordinary mercy is revealed. This sermon examines the seriousness of God's judgment, the danger of apostasy, and the call to persevere in faith, finding our only refuge in Jesus Christ.

This sermon explores the comprehensive scope of salvation presented in Ephesians 2, moving from the believer's past state of spiritual death and depravity to their present position of grace and future glory. Using the analogy of the Chilean miners rescued by a capsule, the message illustrates that salvation is a gift of God's grace received through faith, rather than a result of human effort or works. The text emphasizes the theological reality that believers are quickened, raised, and seated with Christ in heavenly places, highlighting the substitutionary atonement of Jesus as the sole basis for redemption. The tone is both convicting regarding the seriousness of sin and comforting regarding the sufficiency of God's mercy, urging listeners to trust in Christ alone. The sermon concludes by affirming that believers are God's workmanship, created for good works as a response to grace, not as a means to earn it.
