Ten Commandments on SermonAudio

Love does not replace the law - it fulfills it. A modern heresy is sweeping the church, called "Antinomianism". It argues that since the 10 Commandments were included in the Mosaic Covenant, they have been abolished along with the Old Covenant.

This sermon explores the Seventh Commandment, "You shall not commit adultery," by examining its statement, extent, and theological basis. The speaker argues that the commandment upholds the sanctity of marriage as a creation ordinance and a binding covenant agreement between one man and one woman. It extends beyond physical acts to include lustful attitudes, reflecting God's concern for the purity of the heart. Furthermore, the sermon posits that human marriage serves as a profound picture of the ultimate eschatological union between Christ and His Church. The central message emphasizes that preserving marital fidelity is essential because it honors God's original design and reflects the glorious future redemption of believers.

The sermon explores the critical Christian duty of spiritual discernment, urging believers to test all teachings against the standard of Scripture. Drawing primarily from 1 John 4, it outlines three principles for evaluating teachers: refusing to believe every spirit, testing claims by their confession of Jesus Christ's incarnation, and recognizing the opposition of the antichrist spirit. The preacher emphasizes that true faith requires examining its object before placing confidence in it, warning against false teachers who distort the gospel or diminish the person and work of Christ. Ultimately, the message calls for a steadfast commitment to the biblical truth of Jesus alone as the sole foundation for salvation and spiritual assurance. In light of the danger of false teaching and the church's experience with false teachers, John commands believers to exercise discernment by testing everything according to the standard of Scripture, and the truths of Jesus Christ.

Closing Thought: The world may tempt us, pressure us, wound us, and even kill us, but it cannot conquer those who have been born of God. Jesus Christ has overcome the world, and everyone united to Him by faith shares in His victory. Therefore, believe in the Son of God, love His children, obey His commands, and remain faithful to the end. We overcome by the blood of the Lamb, by the word of our testimony, and by treasuring Christ above life itself. This is the victory that has overcome the world, our faith.

"HOW HUSBANDS SHOULD RESPOND TO BAD WIVES" How should a Christian husband respond when his wife is rebellious or contentious? The Bible presents a path between two dangerous extremes: passive tolerance and sinful cruelty. A husband is commanded to love, nourish, cherish, provide for, and protect his wife. But biblical love does not require him to ignore rebellion or enable destructive behavior. In this message, we examine practical examples throughout Scripture of husbands confronting wrongdoing while continuing to love and seek restoration. A practical Bible study on how a husband can remain loving without becoming passive, exercise headship without becoming cruel, confront wrongdoing without bitterness, and continue seeking the good of his wife even when she is disobedient. This message also examines the general role and responsibilities of a husband in providing for, protecting, cherishing, and rejoicing with the wife of his covenant.

The sermon emphasizes the biblical command to forsake all worldly attachments to be saved. Contrasting this hard truth with the comforting but deceptive messages often preached elsewhere. Using the account of the rich young man in Mark 10, the speaker illustrates that even a life of moral righteousness and good works is insufficient for salvation. The message urges listeners to recognize their inherent sinfulness and the fleeting nature of their opportunity for redemption, calling them to actively seek Christ with urgency and humility. It asserts that salvation is entirely by grace through faith in Christ's sacrifice, not by human effort or adherence to the law. The preacher calls the unconcerned to awaken to the reality of hell and the necessity of repentance before it is too late.

Jesus was not a spirit being bringing a philosophic teaching to His disciples. He had brought them into fellowship with Himself as the God-Man. He had really granted to them a participation in divine things. He had brought them into the greatness of the reality of fellowship with the Father as well as with Himself. All of this fellowship with God had become so real to the apostles that they had come to have a fullness of joy in this great salvation. And they desired that every reader of this book would have this same assurance as well. So now John begins to tell us what they had been told by the Lord Jesus, as to the nature of God Himself. It was a message of their declared fellowship with the Father and the Son. And so, now, we want to think about this fellowship more closely. 1st of all – It is a fellowship of Light with no darkness at all. 2nd – The apostle's message declares to us that this fellowship forbids lying about the reality of it. And 3rd – The apostle John then proposes to us this truth: That if we will walk in the light as Christ is in the light, we will have fellowship with one another.

The sermon addresses the pervasive issue of discouragement in ministry and daily life, using the historical context of the Jews rebuilding the temple in Haggai. It highlights how comparison with past glory or others' success often leads to pride or despair, urging believers to avoid measuring their efforts against worldly standards. The central message emphasizes that God commands His people to continue working despite feelings of inadequacy, rather than waiting for emotional motivation. By referencing Jesus Christ's perseverance in Gethsemane and the promise of His presence, the text encourages steadfastness in labor, assuring that faithful service is never in vain even when results are not immediately visible.

The sermon emphasizes that enduring relationships must be founded on a shared reverence for God rather than superficial compatibility or worldly conditions. By examining the loyalty between David and Jonathan, the speaker illustrates how mutual fear of the Lord creates an unconditional bond that mirrors heavenly love. The preacher identifies three key markers of such friendships: rejoicing in the presence of other believers, hoping for Scripture daily, and maintaining a heart devoted to God's commands. This theological foundation protects relationships from the high failure rates seen in modern society where connections are often built on transient circumstances. Ultimately, only bonds rooted in Christ possess the permanence and spiritual depth required for true Christian fellowship.
