Ten Commandments on SermonAudio

To love God supremely is the fundamental duty of man, as well as the foundation of true salvation, obedience, and Christian living. From John 15:9 and other scriptures, the Bible teaches that Christ loves His people as the Father loves Him, and He told us to "continue in his love." Real love is not merely emotion, religious zeal, loyalty, or words, but a life that gives itself to God in obedience and sacrifice. Love is not love unless it puts to death the selfish, self-centered heart, and esteems God and others more than ourselves. Do not be deceived by your emotional feelings toward God if you are living in disobedience to his Word. Love lives only in deeds, and the kind of love God commands from us is not feelings and emotion, but recognizing his greatness and goodness and laying down our lives for Him.

Matthew 18:21–35 teaches that those forgiven by God must forgive others. Peter's attempt to limit forgiveness is shattered by Christ's command of boundless mercy. The king's cancellation of an unpayable debt pictures grace alone in Christ, while the servant's refusal to forgive reveals an unchanged heart. Forgiveness does not earn salvation, but it does evidence it. Believers, resting in justification by faith alone, must extend mercy because they have received immeasurable mercy.

This concluding message on 1 Corinthians 14 sets out seven apostolic rules governing tongues in the church: edification, limited speakers, interpretation, self-control, male leadership, submission to Scripture, and orderly worship. It tests modern charismatic practices against these commands and argues that they fail the biblical standard, while reaffirming that tongues were real languages and a temporary sign gift that has now ceased. The message closes by shifting the focus from supernatural experiences to genuine spirituality: believers demonstrate the Spirit's work through obedience to Scripture, disciplined speech, and using the tongue for truth rather than confusion, gossip, or division.

(1) The Command; (2) The Temptation; (3) The Resolve.

The sermon examines James 4:17 to expose the hidden weight of guilt found in sins of omission, arguing that failing to do known good is as serious as actively committing evil. It defines sin through the lens of original and actual transgression, illustrating how neglecting divine commands creates a profound spiritual burden. The preacher outlines three key aspects of this doctrine: the knowledge of God's will, the resulting obligation to obey, and the inherent sinfulness of disobedience. By highlighting specific failures such as lacking love for God or refusing to repent, the text emphasizes that greater revelation leads to greater accountability. Ultimately, the message points believers to Jesus Christ as the only substitute who fulfilled all righteousness, offering hope and forgiveness for those burdened by their own inaction.

Luke 9:51-56 'And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, and sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.' This sermon examines Luke 9:51-56 to highlight four gospel lessons from Jesus' journey to Jerusalem. The preacher emphasises the Saviour's steadfast resolve to fulfill His redemptive mission despite knowing the suffering ahead. It contrasts this determination with the rejection faced by Christ and His messengers, warning of the eternal consequences for those who refuse Him. The message also addresses the disciples' desire for judgment, clarifying that Jesus came to save rather than destroy, marking the current age as one of grace. Ultimately, the sermon serves as an urgent invitation for sinners to accept salvation before the opportunity passes.

The seventh commandment, as well as Jesus's teaching in the Sermon on the Mount, teaches us to be holy and chaste in our thoughts, words, and behavior.

This sermon examines Genesis 8:13-19, focusing on the moment Noah and the animals exit the ark after the flood. The preacher highlights the significance of the specific time markers, which demonstrate that the biblical account is historical rather than mythological. Key themes include the necessity of faith and patience while waiting on God's timing, as illustrated by Noah's obedience to divine commands. The text connects the drying earth back to creation, showing God as the Restorer who renews His original plan for humanity and nature. Finally, the passage points forward to the ultimate hope of a new heaven and earth secured through Jesus Christ.

The sermon examines King Saul's disobedience in 1 Samuel 15, where he partially obeys God's command to destroy the Amalekites by sparing their king and best livestock. This act of partial obedience stems from pride and a desire to please the people rather than submit to divine authority. The preacher emphasizes Samuel's declaration that obedience is superior to sacrifice, warning that rebellion against God is equivalent to idolatry. Saul's attempt to justify his actions through religious ritual highlights the danger of elevating outward worship over genuine faithfulness. Ultimately, Saul's rejection as king demonstrates that true devotion requires complete submission to God's word rather than self-willed compromise.
