Resurrection on SermonAudio

How can we give to God what is God's? Mark 12:13–37 looks forward to the hearing of God's Word, publicly read, in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In these twenty-five verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that we can know, love, and obey God rightly only in Christ, by His grace. The devotional examines the interactions in Mark 12, moving from questions about civil authority and the nature of the resurrection to the central inquiry regarding the greatest commandment. It reasons that while submission to government and belief in the resurrection are important, the primary theological focus is the scribe's realization that love for God and neighbor surpasses ritual sacrifice. Pastor emphasizes that although the scribe was not far from the kingdom, he lacked the ability to fulfill this on his own, bringing us to our ultimate need: Christ Himself, Who is our perfect righteousness, required for entry into the kingdom.

This sermon examines the significance of Lazarus as living proof of Jesus's authority over death, arguing that his mere existence validated Jesus's claim to be the resurrection and the life. The speaker highlights how this tangible evidence led many to believe in Christ, fulfilling the pattern of signs revealing God's glory throughout the Gospel of John. Conversely, the sermon notes that this same living testimony provoked fierce hostility from religious leaders who preferred to destroy the evidence rather than acknowledge its source. The message extends this principle to the modern believer, asserting that every Christian is a walking advertisement of new life in Christ, which naturally draws both faith and opposition. Ultimately, the sermon calls the audience to examine whether their lives visibly display the fruit of the Spirit and to remain faithful despite the potential for rejection from those who reject the light.

This sermon explores the nature and disposition of angels by examining their role throughout the life of Jesus Christ, from heralding His birth to ministering in the wilderness and protecting Him. It highlights the theological distinction that angels, as created beings, cannot be saved but desire to look into the mysteries of redemption, experiencing the joy of salvation secondhand through the repentance of sinners. The message emphasizes the angels' readiness to serve and their anguish at witnessing the crucifixion, contrasting their power to destroy with their obedience to God's plan for atonement. Ultimately, the sermon points to the resurrection and the subsequent salvation of souls as the moment when the angels' purpose is fulfilled, resulting in eternal joy in heaven over every sinner who repents.

This sermon examines the ministry, death, and resurrection of the two witnesses described in Revelation 11, emphasizing their divine empowerment and prophetic role during the first half of the tribulation. The teaching connects these figures to the imagery of olive trees and candlesticks in Zechariah 4, illustrating that their effectiveness relies entirely on the Holy Spirit rather than human effort. It explores the theological significance of their martyrdom and the subsequent resurrection as a definitive sign of God's sovereignty over evil, while also addressing the likely identities of the witnesses as Elijah and Enoch. The message serves as a pastoral exhortation for believers to depend on God's power to share the gospel, highlighting the urgency of evangelism in a world that often rejects truth and celebrates the silencing of God's messengers.

This sermon defines the gospel as the specific message of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, emphasizing that it is the sole requirement for salvation and distinct from religious rituals or moralistic living. Pastor Friesen argues that because the gospel is of divine origin and received freely, it must be given freely without being tied to financial compensation or human effort. The message highlights the necessity of a personal response to the truth, warning against false teachings that dilute the gospel or suggest that salvation can be lost. It concludes by urging believers to stand firmly in the sufficiency of Christ's work and to actively share this clear, unambiguous message with the lost.

The sermon explores the narrative of the Road to Emmaus in Luke 24 to demonstrate that the Bible is a unified story centered on Jesus Christ. It argues that God's word must be believed rather than merely studied, as the disciples' initial failure to recognize Jesus stemmed from a misunderstanding of the necessity of the cross. The message emphasizes that the Holy Spirit opens the mind to understand scripture, transforming intellectual knowledge into a burning love for Christ. Finally, it calls the church to proclaim this gospel, recognizing that the entire biblical history points to the risen Savior who offers forgiveness and eternal life.

For what purpose did angels appear on the Biblical page? Why did they appear? To satisfy human curiosity? To "show-off?" No. Every time an angel appeared, it was to do God's work and/or deliver God's message.
