Ten Commandments on SermonAudio

Deuteronomy 15:11 "For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land." King James Version

The sermon examines Joshua's three commands following the fall of Jericho, focusing on the dedication of spoils to God, the preservation of Rahab, and the destruction of the city. It addresses common objections regarding divine judgment by emphasizing God's absolute sovereignty and the Canaanites' willful suppression of general revelation. The speaker highlights Rahab's inclusion as a testament to God's mercy for Gentiles and sinners who exercise faith. Finally, the message applies these historical events to modern believers, urging them to wage spiritual warfare through love and the gospel rather than worldly means.

Whom we worship is settled by the first commandment. How we worship is settled by the second. God is not only jealous against false worship. He is jealous for true worship. He does not want our inventions, our fancies, our customs, or our images. Grab your Bible and join us from the Savannah Mission Bible Training Center as we learn that God wants what He has appointed in His Word, and His command in the second commandment is both a prohibition and a requirement. It tells us what we must not do, and it tells us what we must do. Do you know what He commands? Do you obey?

The command is direct: "Love not the world." The emphasis is not on distance but on desire. A man may be physically removed and still internally attached. Worldliness is not geography. It is affection. John is writing to believers. This is not instruction for the lost. It is correction for those who know truth but are in danger of divided love.

The Devotional explores the biblical command to completely eradicate idolatry by examining Jehu's destruction of Baal's temple in 2 Kings 10. It contrasts Jehu's thorough removal of false worship with his failure to address other sins, warning believers against managing sin rather than eliminating it entirely. Using the metaphor of turning a sacred site into a refuse dump, the message urges Christians to treat personal idols as unclean and irrecoverable. The preacher emphasises that God demands total devotion and will not accept half-measures in the fight against spiritual compromise. Ultimately, the text calls for decisive action to starve sin and preserve the heart's exclusive loyalty to God.

This sermon establishes that parental authority is delegated directly from God, empowering parents to enforce rules with confidence rather than relying on personal preference or societal trends. Drawing primarily from Deuteronomy 6, the text emphasizes the critical duty of teaching children God's commands diligently and proactively across generations. The preacher contrasts reactive discipline with proactive instruction, urging families to integrate biblical principles into daily life through consistent engagement and family devotionals. Ultimately, the message argues that effective parenting must naturally lead children to recognize their need for the gospel, as human effort alone cannot fulfill God's high standards for holiness and obedience. Outline: 1) Who Commands You? 2) What Does He Command? 3) Why Obey His Command?

The sermon contrasts the popular cultural question 'What Would Jesus Do?' with the deeper biblical command to possess the very mindset of Christ. It defines this mindset through the lens of humility and obedience, illustrating how Jesus laid aside His glory to serve humanity. The preacher argues that human effort is insufficient for achieving this Christ-like character due to inherent sinfulness. Instead, believers are encouraged to rely on the Holy Spirit, who actively works within them to produce both the desire and the power to obey God. This divine transformation offers hope for daily growth into the image of Jesus.

The sermon emphasizes that salvation is the most important eternal reality, grounded in faith and inseparable from obedience to Christ's commands. It examines Peter's denial of Jesus during the trials, highlighting how following at a distance leads to spiritual failure and the necessity of genuine repentance. Pastor Bob contrasts the deceptive world system with the believer's union with Christ, urging adherence to the full armor of God. By analyzing the illegal nature of Jesus' trials and His voluntary submission, the message underscores the depth of divine love and the call to remain firmly rooted in truth rather than worldly temptations.
