Ten Commandments on SermonAudio

The Almightiness of God. The Promise to Abram. The Command to be Consecrated to God.

Sermon | Matthew 22:34-40 | Sunday Morning Service, October 05 2026. Guest Preacher: Hennie Moolman This sermon explores the theological depth of the greatest commandment, arguing that true love for God is fundamentally a matter of the heart's affections rather than mere intellectual assent or outward behavior. By analyzing the Greek prepositions in the text, the message highlights that the heart is the unique wellspring from which all genuine devotion, joy, and obedience flow. Hennie warns against the danger of religious performance that lacks internal delight, citing Jesus' critique of those who honor God with their lips while their hearts are far away. To cultivate this heart-level love, the sermon offers practical steps including being born again, resisting worldliness and sinful influences, and engaging in daily, intentional communion with God's Word. Ultimately, the central call is for believers to find their supreme satisfaction in God, recognizing that He is most glorified when His people are most delighted in Him.

The profound truth of divine election as presented in John 15, emphasizes that God's choice of believers is rooted in His character and love rather than human merit. The central message highlights that Jesus chose His disciples to be His friends, securing their salvation through His sacrificial death and ensuring their permanent security in Him. The exposition connects this eternal security to the practical command to abide in Christ's love by remaining in His Word and keeping His commandments. It argues that true obedience flows from a heart motivated by love for Jesus, rather than fear of the law, reflecting the intimate relationship He offers. The tone is comforting and pastoral, inviting listeners to rest in the assurance that they are known, loved, and called to share in the fullness of Christ's joy.

Thinkers and Doers of the Word Philippians 4:8-9 -Why is thinking so important in the Christian life? How does the world, the flesh, and the devil war against Christians thinking godly? -Make a quick list of the things your mind has been focusing on over the last 24 hours? How does that compare to what the apostle Paul commands us to focus on? -How can the list in v8 serve as filters for your thoughts? What does it look like to take captive a thought and make it obedient to Christ? -How do you seek to apply the truths you are taught? Why does putting truth into practice bring peace? For further study: Ps 42:5; 19:14; 119:11,15,30,36; Mt 7:24-27; Jn 13:17; Rom 6:11; 12:2; 2 Cor 10:5; Eph 4:17; Col 3:2; Jam 1:22.

The sermon explores the account of Jesus raising the widow of Nain's son, highlighting the profound compassion Jesus displays toward human suffering. It contrasts the crowd of joy following Jesus with the procession of grief, illustrating how Jesus moves from empathy to decisive action by commanding the dead young man to arise. The preacher emphasizes that true compassion is concern in action, pointing to the cross where Jesus bears the weight of human sin and death. This miracle serves as a demonstration of Christ's authority over death and a preview of the eternal life He offers to all who believe. The message concludes with an invitation to find comfort in the Savior who has paid for sin and conquered death.

This sermon explores the central theme of God's grace as the foundation of the Kingdom of God, drawing from Luke 12:31-40. It argues that the Kingdom is not a prize to be earned or found, but a gift freely given by the Father, which liberates believers to hold earthly possessions loosely and live with open hands. The text emphasizes that the command to 'seek' the Kingdom is an active, ongoing pursuit that flows from this gracious gift, rather than a means to secure it. Furthermore, the sermon connects this present faithfulness to the future consummation of the Kingdom, urging believers to watch and wait for the return of Christ with the assurance that He will ultimately serve them. The overall tone is pastoral and comforting, encouraging the congregation to find their identity and security in the King's promise rather than in the fleeting things of this world.
