Spirits on SermonAudio

Believers have crucified the flesh. Those who gratify their flesh do not characterize heirs of the kingdom. Walk in the Spirit and you will not gratify your flesh.

"because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus." John 12:11 This sermon explores the public revelation of Jesus as the Messiah and King of Israel during His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, as recorded in John 12. The central message emphasises that Christ's entry was a deliberate fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, specifically Zechariah 9:9, demonstrating that He is the promised Saviour who offers spiritual victory over sin and death. The preacher highlights the symbolism of the palm branches as a sign of this ultimate victory and contrasts the crowd's superficial praise with the sincere devotion required of true believers. Furthermore, the discourse addresses the disciples' initial lack of understanding, noting that their comprehension of these events came only after Christ's glorification and the opening of their minds by the Holy Spirit. The sermon concludes with an exhortation for believers to seek divine illumination to understand Scripture and to submit fully to Christ's authority as both Saviour and King.

This sermon explores the profound connection between belonging to God's kingdom and the pursuit of holiness, using the parable of the Giving Tree to illustrate that true relationship requires sacrifice. The central message argues that while the gospel offers grace, it demands a radical humility that rejects both legalism and lawlessness, calling believers to examine how their sins hinder the spiritual growth of others. Through the work of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit, believers are made holy and empowered to practice deep repentance, viewing their relationships with family and community through the lens of eternal significance. The preacher encourages the congregation to engage in self-examination and mutual accountability, recognizing that every interaction is an opportunity to help others move closer to heaven by embracing the costly yet liberating path of sacrificial love.
