Ten Commandments on SermonAudio

The sermon addresses the claim that God commands abortion by examining the Law of Jealousies in Numbers 5. It argues that the text describes a ritual to test a wife's fidelity when a husband suspects adultery, rather than prescribing a chemical termination of pregnancy. The analysis highlights that the woman is not stated to be pregnant, and the outcome depends on divine judgment rather than a consistent chemical reaction. The central theological theme is that this law serves to restrict the wickedness of men, preventing them from arbitrarily accusing and killing innocent wives. By applying hermeneutical tools such as context and cross-referencing, the message demonstrates that the passage protects the innocent and upholds God's character as good.

We see the "overlay with gold" in the making of the Tabernacle and we learn that this pictures the "Hypostatic Union" which simply speaks of the fact that Jesus was Man (wood) and God (gold). Also Reference: Matthew 5:17, Ephesians 2:14-18 https://bbfohio.com

BREAK UP THE HARD GROUND. [WHEN REVIVAL REACHES THE HEART] HOSEA 10:12; JOEL 2:12–13; Galatians 6:7-8 KJV God's command through Hosea is direct: "Break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD." Fallow ground is ground capable of producing a harvest but left uncultivated until it becomes hard and unproductive. The same can happen spiritually when pride, bitterness, complacency, hidden sin, or repeated resistance hardens a believer's heart.Hosea contrasts sowing righteousness and reaping mercy with plowing wickedness and reaping iniquity. The message closes with Hebrews 3:15: "To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts." The revival prayer is: "Lord, break up the hard ground in me. Let Your plow go deep, and when the ground is ready—send the rain."

This sermon addresses the modern struggle with anxiety and worry, using the metaphor of 'fret knots' to describe how concerns about society, finances, and health can entangle a believer's mind. Drawing from Psalm 37, the message identifies three specific commands to 'fret not' and presents a spiritual recipe for resolution: trusting in the Lord, delighting in Him, committing one's way to Him, and resting while waiting patiently. The preacher emphasizes that trust is the foundational element that allows for true surrender, illustrated by the analogy of a child trusting a father to cross a log in the dark. Rather than attempting to untangle life's problems through personal strength or control, which often worsens the situation, believers are encouraged to actively serve and focus on God's plan. The tone is pastoral and encouraging, urging the audience to release their burdens to God, who sees the full picture and provides the grace to navigate through difficult seasons.

This sermon examines the urgent shift in Jude's letter from a planned discussion on common salvation to a necessary warning against infiltrators who have breached the church's perimeter. The central message calls believers to earnestly contend for the faith, defined as the unchanging gospel core of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, rather than engaging in debates over secondary traditions or preferences. The tone is pastoral yet combative, urging the congregation to view themselves as soldiers in a spiritual war who must identify deception while maintaining a winsome and compassionate approach to those who are deceived. The speaker emphasizes that the faith was once delivered to the saints and must be preserved and passed down without alteration, requiring believers to know the genuine truth well enough to spot lies in the current cultural climate. Questions: 1. Why did Jude change his mind about what he originally intended to write to Christians? 2. What does Jude mean when he tells believers to "earnestly contend for the faith"? 3. How can Christians fight for the truth without becoming argumentative or unkind? 4. What does the Bible mean when it speaks of "the faith" rather than simply having faith? 5. How can we tell the difference between essential Christian doctrines and matters of personal preference? 6. Why does Jude warn Christians about enemies who have already entered the church? 7. What does it mean that the faith was "once delivered unto the saints"? Can Christianity change with the times? 8. Is defending the Christian faith the responsibility of pastors and theologians, or does every believer have a part

Remembering the Sabbath day and keeping it holy is probably one of the most debated and neglected of all of the 10 commandments. Join us in our discussion of this commandment as we seek to open up the commandment and hear what it says and see what it requires. God, who made the week, has claimed one whole day in seven as his own; he has fixed that day, since the resurrection, on the first day of the week; and he calls us to keep it holy by a glad rest from our own works and a full use of his worship, excepting only the works of necessity and mercy.

This sermon argues that Christian worship should begin with the explicit words of Scripture, which serve as a divine summons rather than a casual invitation. It emphasizes that believers are commanded to gather before the living God, a reality made possible by the access granted through Jesus Christ as described in Hebrews. The discussion highlights that this assembly is not merely a social meeting but a sacred encounter where God speaks to His people through His Word, prayer, and song. By using biblical texts to initiate the service, the congregation maintains a God-centered focus, fostering an atmosphere of reverence, joy, and mutual encouragement. The ultimate goal is to ensure that the first words spoken in worship are those of God, directing the hearts of believers toward His glory and sustaining their faith.

This sermon explores the central command of John 15:4-5, urging believers to abide in Christ as the essential means for spiritual growth and fruitfulness. The message clarifies that abiding is not a mystical state but a daily practice of perseverance, dependence on God's strength, and intentional discipline. It emphasizes that spiritual maturity requires enduring through challenges and maintaining consistent engagement with the Word, prayer, and fellowship. The preacher contrasts the futility of a life lived apart from Christ with the productive results of remaining connected to Him. Ultimately, the focus is on the believer's role in continuing to practice these disciplines rather than striving to reach a final state of perfection.
