Responsibility on SermonAudio

The devotional centers on the transformative power of aligning one's thoughts with God's eternal purposes, drawing from Jeremiah 29:11–14 to affirm that God has plans for peace, hope, and a fulfilled future for His people. It warns against the dangers of prideful thinking, particularly self-comparison and self-deception, as highlighted in Romans 12:3 and 2 Corinthians 10:12, emphasizing that such thinking leads to spiritual distortion. The message calls for a threefold response: accepting one's current circumstances as part of God's sovereign plan, repenting of complaining, and submitting fully to God's will through the renewal of the mind. By rejecting worldly values and embracing divine truth, believers are invited to live as living sacrifices, transformed by God's mercy and freed from the destructive patterns of comparison and pride.

Could you be drifting into spiritual sleep without even realizing it? Discover six biblical warning signs of spiritual complacency in this in-depth, expository sermon on Mark 14:1–9. Spiritual sleep rarely happens overnight. Just as a driver can gradually fall asleep behind the wheel without recognizing the danger, Christians can slowly lose their spiritual alertness. Fear of God diminishes, sin becomes less troubling, worship loses its significance, and the promises of Scripture no longer seem as real as they once did. In this message, we examine Jesus' anointing at Bethany and discover what the contrasting responses of Mary, the disciples, and the religious leaders reveal about the condition of our hearts.

My sermons are the fruit of nearly 30 years of pastoral ministry, biblical counseling, formal seminary training, and a lifelong passion for God's Word. Since childhood, I've been drawn to the beauty and power of expository preaching—opening Scripture verse by verse and applying it to real life. After graduating from Moody Bible Institute, I spent the next 27 years serving as a youth pastor, senior pastor, church planter, and host of the Food For Your Soul radio broadcast. Along the way, I also earned a Master of Sacred Literature and a Doctor of Religious Studies. For more content from D. Richard Ferguson, visit TreasuringGod.com.

The Responses of Three Churches About Global Missions.

Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ: You were saved because God loved you, chose you, and called you to himself through the preaching of Gospel. God did this for your good and for his pleasure…and he gives you the assurance, objectively and subjectively, that you were elected by him! God gave you faith to receive his Gospel truth-to receive that Jesus lived and died for you. But what about those who are not saved? There is a 2nd kind of election–an election to reprobation. Hear about this 2nd election today. Pay careful attention as this doctrine. Many people are confused by it. Our headings are: 1. Reprobation: What is it? 2. Reprobation: Should you panic? Our goals are: That seeing the doctrine of reprobation, you will love your election, you will praise God for it, and you will labor to save those under God's just condemnation.

What does it truly mean to be part of the body of Christ? Is the church simply a place where Christians gather to worship, hear preaching, and receive spiritual encouragement, or has God designed it to be something far greater? In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 12:14–26, Pastor Robb Brunansky examines the Apostle Paul's powerful illustration of the church as one body with many members. While every believer has different gifts, responsibilities, and opportunities for service, each has been intentionally placed within the body of Christ according to God's perfect wisdom. Through this passage, we discover three essential truths about the members of Christ's body: every member is included, every member is indispensable, and every member is interdependent. No Christian is insignificant, no spiritual gift is unnecessary, and no believer is designed to function independently of the rest of the church. Pastor Robb challenges believers to move beyond a consumer-oriented view of church and embrace their God-given responsibility to serve, encourage, and care for one another. When one member suffers, the entire body suffers; when one member is honored, the entire body rejoices. Listen as we consider how understanding our place in the body of Christ transforms our relationships, strengthens our fellowship, and equips the church to accomplish the mission God has entrusted to His people.

This sermon examines John 6 to expose the false motives of those who seek Jesus for temporal benefits rather than eternal life, contrasting the perishable bread of physical sustenance with the true bread of life found in Christ. The central theological argument asserts that belief is not a human achievement or a response to sufficient evidence, but the sovereign work of God, where the Father draws and teaches those He has chosen. By highlighting the crowd's rejection of Christ's divine claims and their demand for signs, the text illustrates the spiritual blindness of the unregenerate heart, which remains dead in sin and incapable of coming to Christ without divine intervention. The preacher emphasizes that salvation is entirely of grace, secured by the Father's eternal election and the effectual call of the Holy Spirit, ensuring that all whom the Father gives to the Son are kept and raised up on the last day. This doctrine of predestination serves to humble the believer, recognizing that their faith is a gift, and calls the church to pursue Christ Himself rather than the comforts of this world.

This sermon explores the biblical theology of shepherding, tracing the imagery from God as the Chief Shepherd in the Old Testament to Jesus as the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep. The central text, Acts 20, presents Paul's farewell charge to the Ephesian elders, emphasizing their responsibility to feed the flock with the Word and protect them from false teachers and external threats. The message clarifies the distinct roles of male pastors as under-shepherds appointed by God, while also affirming the congregation's duty to submit to their leadership and hold them accountable. It addresses the tension between trusting in God's sovereign care and navigating the realities of human fallibility in church leadership. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to follow the voice of the Chief Shepherd, trusting that He has established faithful men to guide them toward spiritual maturity and protection.
