Spirits on SermonAudio

This sermon explores the enduring relevance of God's Word as presented in Matthew 5:17-20, emphasising that Jesus fulfilled the Law rather than abolishing it. The preacher outlines three practical applications for believers: to do God's commands through spiritual disciplines and reliance on the Holy Spirit, to disciple others by modeling obedience, and to diagnose one's spiritual state by examining the fruit of their lives. The message warns against mere outward religiosity while encouraging self-examination to ensure genuine faith in Christ. It concludes with an appeal for believers to pursue heartfelt obedience and for unbelievers to seek forgiveness through Jesus.

Why does God write that every other man in Genesis 5 lived and died, and write of Enoch that he walked with God? Read verse 22 and ask what two must have in common before they can walk together. Then find the word after in that verse, and ask when Enoch's walk with God began. And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

Christ paid the price to give us the free gifts of joy and power. 1. Christ's free gift of great joy. (v.1-8) 2. Christ's free gift of Spiritual power cannot be bought. (v.9-20) 3. Without Christ's gift: a heart not right, full of bitterness, captive to sin (v.21-25). Receiving Christ's Gifts: What is the explanation for such joy? Philippians 4:7 How can we test for true spiritual power? 1 John 4:1-6 From what were we lifted? Colossians 1:13-14

Anointing of the Spirit

1 Corinthians 12:4 "Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit." King James Version

This is perhaps one of the greatest stories in the Bible that shows us the amazing power of God in regeneration. Remember, the 4 kinds of soil here, represents 4 hearts and how they respond to the Gospel of Christ. The first 3 souls are unconverted and not regenerated, however, the 4th soul is considered good soil and the seed is received and germinates in the heart of this person -this is regeneration and is a believer now in the Lord Jesus Christ. This good soil(heart) was prepared by God for Salvation. Only God can change the nature of man from a God hater to a heart that has the Love of God. From an unbeliever to a believer or from a sinner to a saint. To God be the Glory!

Question 3: Why did God create the world? The answer: God created everything by his Word, not because he was lonely, but out of the free overflow of divine love, so that all creation would enjoy his glory. In this episode, we consider what creation reveals about God's character and our purpose. God did not make the world because he lacked anything or needed companionship. Father, Son, and Spirit have always existed in perfect love and joy. Creation is therefore not the result of divine need, but the generous overflow of God's goodness and love. Because God created all things, the world—and our lives within it—has meaning, order, and purpose. We were not made to invent our own significance, but to know God, enjoy his glory, and live according to his good design.
