Spirits on SermonAudio

The sermon emphasizes that true revival must begin within the local church through a honest assessment of spiritual condition and the reestablishment of communion with God. By contrasting King Hezekiah's reforms with his father Ahaz's apostasy, the message highlights the danger of complacency and false worship in an increasingly secular society. The preacher argues that believers cannot rely on external appearances but must actively remove personal and corporate impurities to allow the Holy Spirit to work effectively. This process requires a burden for holiness, shared leadership, and a covenant commitment to return to biblical standards. Ultimately, revival is presented as a necessary response to modern apostasy, starting with individual repentance and collective restoration of worship.

"The Spirit-Led Church" Acts 21:1-16 A continuation of our evening sermon series on the book of Acts.

One God, Three Persons (Matthew 3:13-17) The sermon expounds on the doctrine of the Trinity, asserting that one God exists eternally in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Using Matthew 3 as the primary text, it illustrates this mystery through Jesus' baptism, where all three persons are simultaneously present and active. The preacher emphasizes that mere intellectual belief in God is insufficient for salvation, contrasting true faith with the trembling belief of demons. Central to the message is the gospel truth that Christ identifies with sinners to fulfill righteousness and bear their judgment on the cross. Ultimately, the sermon calls listeners to personal repentance and faith, urging them to rely on the triune God's grace rather than their own religious efforts.

The sermon explores the profound spiritual blessings believers receive through God's sovereign choice in Christ before the foundation of the world. It emphasizes that salvation is entirely initiated by God, rejecting human merit or philosophical speculation regarding election. The text highlights three key aspects: the Father's plan, the Son's provision, and the Spirit's work in perfecting salvation. Believers are described as chosen to be holy, adopted as children with full privileges, and accepted in the beloved Jesus. This eternal perspective provides assurance, identity, and a call to live out one's purpose in alignment with God's grace.

This sermon exhorts believers to diligently preserve the spiritual unity given by the Holy Spirit within the body of Christ. The preacher outlines seven theological reasons for this command, including the oneness of the body, spirit, hope, Lord, faith, baptism, and God. Practical application involves walking worthily through humility, gentleness, patience, and forbearance in love. The message emphasizes that unity is a divine gift to be maintained, not manufactured by human effort or programs. Ultimately, the text calls for personal reflection on one's role in fostering harmony and trusting in Jesus as Savior.

Belief in Jesus Christ is to be filled with His eternal Holy Spirit which provides everlasting life-giving satisfaction from within. Drink of Christ's Spirit and Never Ever Thirst for Life.
