- Facing Trials With A Joyful Spirit [Part 1] (James 1:1-4)
Are you missing the point of your suffering? James 1:2 seems to command us to do the impossible. How do Christians smile when our suffering lasts for a while? What divine purposes might God have at play in letting us pass through the fires of life? How can you be at peace with the worst that life seems to offer?
Here’s yet another biblical paradox we need to understand, lest we run from the greatest teaching points in our life: trials.Sermon Outline:00:00 Trailer00:58 Introduction12:08 I.

52 min - Thou Shalt Not Make Graven Images (Exodus 20:4-6)
Does idolatry exist in the 21st century? It might sound primitive for anyone to bow down to a statue of wood or metal. Because of this, the Second Commandment remains one of the most neglected commandments in modern Western society. In how many ways does this commandment apply to us today? Why does it follow closely behind the First Commandment?

44 min - True Confession, Repentance and Restoration [Part 3] (Psalm 51:13-19)
What should a restored Christian strive for?
Having experienced God's great mercy and forgiveness, what should be the believer's next step? Is it enough to move forward "without sinning" yet also remain silent, unable to testify of the God who has saved you? Or rather, is that silence only an indication of a heart that still harbors unconfessed and unrepentant sins? How then can these wicked hearts ever please God?In this final sermon, taken from Psalm 51, Pastor Paul explains what heart condition is required as the basis of any true confession, repentance, and restoration.Follow along with this sermon's transcript: https://www.bethelbpc.com.au/sermon-database/true-confession-repentance-and-restoration-part-3

What does it mean to "put God first"? It's a phrase we hear all the time, and for that reason it's probably one of the most watered down phrases in Christianity. In this sermon, Pastor Paul explains why misunderstanding this commandment is one of the gravest mistakes a person can make, no matter how godly they start out as. To vividly illustrate this point, Solomon serves as a poignant example of both how TO and how NOT TO obey this command.

44 min - Bought With A Price (Hosea 3:1-5)
"If you don't see yourself as worse than Gomer, then you will never understand God's love..."
Like Gomer, all Christians have been bought with a very real and incomprehensible price. Yet, like Gomer, all Christians may also constantly feel pulled towards the world, away from their Saviour. How must we guard against such sinful tendencies? What kind of love is the only kind that can secure and sustain a believer's faithfulness to God?
Today we learn from Rev Jose Trinipil Lagapa, as he unveils a short passage from prophecy of Hosea to illuminate the believer's somewhat unbelievable relationship with God.

37 min - True Confession, Repentance and Restoration [Part 2] (Psalm 51:10-12)
How do you know that your repentance is real? If true, biblical confession always leads a person to a transformed life, what exactly is it? Is your Christian life not the same sincere and victorious one that it used to be? Do you pretend that everything is OK, when deep down you know that something is missing? Perhaps David’s penitential psalm can help you. Here, the famous ‘man after God’s own heart’ asks for God to create in him a new, clean heart. Why? What did he mean by that?

46 min - God Reached Out and Spoke (Exodus 19:16-25)
How does an infinitely holy God connect with finite, unholy people? How is it even possible for you and I to relate to God? Is the blazingly glorious God of the Old Testament any different today, since He seems to remain unseen and unheard in our modern age?
