Ten Commandments on SermonAudio

David's attempt to bring the ark of God to Jerusalem. Though the celebration begins joyfully, Uzzah is struck down for touching the ark, reminding everyone that God is holy and must be approached according to His commands. David initially responds with fear, but later brings the ark properly, with reverence, sacrifice, and glad worship.

This sermon explores Jesus' radical command to love enemies and do good to those who hate us, establishing a standard of love that exceeds worldly transactional norms. The preacher contrasts the self-seeking reciprocity of Roman culture with God's unconditional grace, which is demonstrated by loving the ungrateful and evil without expectation of return. Central to this teaching is the Golden Rule, which calls believers to treat others with the same respect and kindness they desire for themselves, thereby defeating selfishness and pride. By adopting the mindset of Christ found in Philippians 2, Christians are urged to prioritize the good of others above their own rights and status. Ultimately, living out this self-sacrificing love serves as a powerful witness, revealing the merciful nature of God to a world that desperately needs to see His character displayed through believers' actions.

1. The Command 2. The Reasons For It 3. The Blessedness Of Obedience

Since Jesus Christ is the head of the church, the Christian believer is obligated to obey the commandments of the Lord Jesus and submit to His will just as the Son of God submitted to the will of His Father and obeyed His commandments.

TEXT: Philippians 2:12-13 "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling" 1. Fulfil the obligation spelled out in that command 2. Take hold of the promise implied in that command

What happens when there is conflict between two parties? How is it often handled? If your brother sins against you, the Lord commanded that you go and tell him his fault, one on one. This would also apply to groups of people. Let them know that they might be doing something wrong, even though they may not know it. Here, we have a situation where there are two sides, both devoted to the Lord, but there was a misunderstanding and an attributing of ill motive. How do we tend to handle such conflict? First, we must recognize that the body of Christ is One and then, be sure that we are worshiping the Lord in Spirit and in truth.

Bible Reading: Psalm 133 KJV (Blessed Unity of the People of God) [1] Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! [2] It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; [3] As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. 1. The pleasantness of his unity. (v1) (Ephesians 4:30-32) 2. The preciousness of his unity. (v2) 3. The product of his unity. (v3) The sermon explores the biblical concept of glorious unity within the body of Christ, using Psalm 133 as the central text. It contrasts true spiritual harmony, which arises from aligning individually with Christ, with artificial or political forms of agreement that lead to discord. The preacher illustrates this through the imagery of anointing oil and morning dew, emphasizing that genuine unity is a divine gift rather than a human achievement. Key themes include the pleasantness of brotherly fellowship, the preciousness of Christ's anointed ministry, and the resulting blessing of eternal life commanded by God. The message concludes with a call to pursue this Spirit-led unity to effectively witness to the world and maintain the church's spiritual vitality.
