This sermon explores seven limitations of Satan, focusing on the first three: his inability to hear human thoughts, his fear of believers, and his reliance on distraction. The speaker uses the narrative of Job to illustrate that while Satan can influence external circumstances and words, he cannot access the heart or overcome the Holy Spirit dwelling within a child of God. Drawing from 1 John and 1 Peter, the message emphasizes that believers have overcome the world and must remain vigilant against distractions such as fear, cultural shifts, and division. The tone is pastoral and urgent, urging the congregation to maintain spiritual discernment, prioritize their relationship with Christ over worldly concerns, and stand firm in faith during the end times.

This sermon explores the transformative power of salvation, using the life of Nicodemus as a primary example of the necessary change from religious observance to genuine faith in Christ. Drawing extensively from 1 John, the message emphasizes that true fellowship with God requires walking in the light, confessing sins, and acknowledging Jesus as the only way to eternal life. The tone is pastoral and convicting, urging believers to move beyond passive faith to active witness and evangelism, while assuring them of the certainty of their salvation through the finished work of Christ. It challenges the congregation to examine their desires and actions, asserting that a saved life is marked by a changed heart, a love for God's Word, and a commitment to sharing the gospel with others.

Sunday School, August 30, 2026 Learning To Do Theology, Lesson 4, Part 27

This discussion explored the free offer of the gospel in Reformed theology, beginning with Bunyan's portrait of the "grave person" in The Pilgrim's Progress, whose posture of pleading with men visualizes the minister's role as a passionate herald of divine mercy. Grounding this stance in historical Reformed orthodoxy, we examined how 17th-century Puritan John Howe and 19th-century theologian R. L. Dabney demonstrated that God's indiscriminate offer of salvation is entirely sincere and fully compatible with His immutable, sovereign decree of election. Furthermore, we examined Arthur W. Pink's defense of human responsibility alongside divine sovereignty, before concluding with the refutation of hyper-Calvinist views (such as those of Herman Hoeksema and the Protestant Reformed Churches) by John Murray and R. L. Dabney, who showed that using doctrines like Divine Simplicity or Impassibility to deny God's genuine compassionate desire for the repentance of all sinners misconstrues confessional definitions, replacing biblical revelation with rationalistic speculation.

The Gospel of God - Message 21 - A Path of Destruction - Romans 3:15-18. John Murray said, "To be destitute of the fear of God is to be godless." And John Calvin wrote, "Wickedness flows from a disregard of God." In our text we continue to follow this progression into depravity by those who suppress the knowledge of the truth and exchange the truth of God for a lie. For them, there is no peace!

Ephesians Series, Message 27 "Living the Communion-Shaped Life According the Recreated Image of God in the Soul" Ephesians 4:17-24 Part 3, Verses 20-24 Psalm 16 Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
