TEN COMMANDMENTS on SermonAudio

In Chapter 1 of Heaven on Earth, Thomas Brooks argues that believers can attain a firm, well-grounded assurance of their salvation in this life, basing his claim on ten core biblical arguments. He demonstrates that assurance is built on universal gospel truths rather than private revelations, that scripture's primary purpose and promises are designed to foster certainty, and that God has placed internal "springs" of assurance—such as faith, hope, a good conscience, and love for believers—within every Christian. Furthermore, Brooks highlights that God actively commands the pursuit of assurance, provides practical means (like self-examination and the Lord's Supper) to reach it, and calls believers to constant spiritual joy, which requires knowing one's standing with God. Ultimately, he refutes theological systems that promote perpetual doubt, affirming that God's children can rest securely in His unchangeable love and covenant promises.

This sermon outlines essential guidelines for biblical interpretation, emphasizing the necessity of distinguishing between literal and figurative language based on context. The central argument uses Matthew 3:11-12 to demonstrate that the 'baptism of fire' is a literal judgment rather than a spiritual experience, contrasting this with the figurative language of John 6:53 regarding eating Christ's flesh. The teaching further introduces a three-part framework for applying Scripture: historical, doctrinal, and spiritual contexts. By examining passages such as the Ten Commandments and James 2, the sermon argues that misapplying doctrinal truths across different dispensations leads to error, whereas proper discernment reveals the consistent truth of God's Word. The tone is instructional and corrective, urging believers to rely on the Holy Spirit for accurate understanding rather than human wisdom.

John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments." This sermon examines Christ's command, "If ye love me, keep my commandments." The preacher considers three aspects of this precept: the searching test of genuine salvation, the simple obligation of obedience to Christ, and the special blessings experienced by obedient believers. Emphasising that salvation is by grace alone and not by works, he demonstrates that true saving faith produces a changed heart, a genuine love for Christ and a desire to obey His Word. He also challenges the error of antinomianism, affirming the continuing relevance of God's moral law and the Ten Commandments. The sermon concludes by highlighting the blessings of obedience, including the Father's love, the presence of Christ and the guidance, teaching and peace of the Holy Spirit.

This sermon examines the encounter between Jesus and ten lepers in Luke 17, emphasizing the importance of recognizing God's presence during life's journey. The central message highlights the necessity of active obedience and faith, illustrated by the lepers' healing as they followed Jesus' command to show themselves to the priest. A key theological theme is the distinction between receiving God's blessings and giving Him glory, as demonstrated by the one Samaritan who returned to worship. The preacher encourages believers to prioritize praise and gratitude before enjoying the benefits of their faith, asserting that human effort in obedience unlocks divine power. The tone is pastoral and encouraging, urging the congregation to trust in God's ability to heal and transform their lives through faithful action.

Why do we worship on Sunday if the Sabbath is on Saturday? Throughout the world, the vast majority of Christian denominations hold worship services on Sunday. However, if you ask professing Christians what caused Sabbath worship to move from the last day of the week to the first, most would either say the Sabbath is unrelated to Sunday worship or point to tradition. But there are important biblical reasons why the Sabbath changed from Saturday to Sunday. It's important first of all because Christ said that if you teach someone to disobey one of the least commandments, you will be least in the kingdom of heaven and the Sabbath is one of the ten commandments. But it's important because the Sabbath is about the rest we have in Christ. It is the day our risen Lord provides for his people so that they can be set apart from the world and all its cares, and go forth to do the work that Christ's atonement made possible. Some of the confusion surrounding the Sabbath is related to a misunderstanding of Israel's place in scripture. Israel's whole calendar was built around Passover and Pentecost and their observance and the Sabbaths around them were set every year based on the day of the week , but because Israel and their observances were a type pointing forward to Christ and his fulfillment, all of their Passovers and Pentecosts and their calendar that changed yearly were nothing more than shadows. There has only been one Passover that caused sins to be forgiven. There has been only one Pentecost where the Spirit of God inhabited his people. And their fulfillment caused the Sabbath to be set from that day forth. Please join us as we consider this important topic.

Early voting is over and what matters at this point is who will show up at the polls and vote tomorrow. There is much at stake as it relates to the outcome of this election, not just for today, but for the America that we are passing down to our children and grandchildren. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has indicated in an interview with Newsmax that the total number of noncitizens on the voter rolls could exceed 300,000. People are being influenced by the polls, yet Western Journal reported last week the collapse of the polling industry continues with the total number of fake polls which have been exposed reaching 15. The Ohio Secretary of State, which is the state's top election officer, indicated he's concerned that pollsters are chronically under sampling Republicans as we lead up to election day. Noah Webster in his writing "History of the United States" wrote: "When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers just men who will rule in the fear of God. The preservation of government depends on the faithful discharge of this duty."

What does the Parable of the Ten Virgins mean, and how can you know whether you're truly ready for the return of Jesus Christ? In Matthew 25:1–13, Pastor Casey Lewis continues through the Gospel of Matthew by examining Jesus' parable of the five wise and five foolish virgins. All ten were waiting for the bridegroom, but only five were prepared when he arrived. The others found themselves outside the wedding feast, hearing the sobering words, "I do not know you." Building upon Jesus' warnings in Matthew 24, this sermon examines the difference between professing faith in Christ and genuinely belonging to Him. Pastor Casey explains the distinction between the visible and invisible church, reminding us that outward religious participation does not necessarily demonstrate genuine salvation. The message also addresses the assurance of salvation. We are saved entirely by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by our works. Yet genuine salvation produces a changed heart, a love for Christ, and a growing desire to obey His commands. How, then, should Christians examine themselves and find biblical assurance that they belong to Him? Pastor Casey also identifies three themes that connect the Parable of the Ten Virgins, the Parable of the Talents, and Jesus' teaching about the Final Judgment: Christ's return will be sudden. His return will bring eternal division. Some will be shocked by His judgment. The central warning is clear: the return of Christ will come at an unknown day and hour. Do not mistake outward appearances for genuine faith. Examine your heart, trust in Christ alone for salvation, and live ready for His return.
