Truth on SermonAudio

9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God. 10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe: 11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children, 12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. 13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

What was the Passover? Why were the Israelites instructed to mark their doors with blood, eat unleavened bread, and remember that night? This Sunday School study considers those questions alongside Paul's declaration that Christ is our Passover. 1 Corinthians 5:7 (KJB): "Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:" Key themes: The Passover in Egypt; the lamb and the blood; the feast of unleavened bread; Christ our Passover; sincerity and truth.

Because it is the teaching of Christ that brings life and health to the church, we must reject the arrogance of false teachers who stir up controversy and bring division by their attempts to promote themselves and their opinions that are contrary to Christ and His Word I. The Content of False Teaching vv 2b-3 II. The Character of False Teachers vv 4-5a III. The Corruption of False Teaching vv 5-6

The sermon examines the personification of Wisdom in Proverbs 8, highlighting her public invitation to all people, particularly the simple and foolish, to receive her instruction. It contrasts the loud, open call of Wisdom with the hidden nature of folly, emphasizing that God's truth is plain but requires the fear of the Lord to be truly understood. The teaching identifies Christ as the embodiment of divine wisdom, whose humility and obedience stand in stark contrast to human pride and the reliance on personal feelings as moral guides. Listeners are urged to seek God diligently and early in life, trusting that wisdom brings both earthly stability and eternal inheritance. The message concludes with a call to abandon arrogance and embrace the humble, obedient life modeled by Jesus.

This part of the Treatise on The Religious Affections and been converted to a more modern, easier to grasp English. In Section 2 of *A Treatise Concerning Religious Affections*, Jonathan Edwards argues that genuine Christianity consists largely in holy affections, demonstrating that true faith requires vibrant, heartfelt engagement rather than weak, intellectual indifference. Drawing from Scripture, human experience, and the example of Christ, he establishes that the affections—chiefly holy love, from which all other godly emotions like fear, joy, sorrow, and zeal flow—serve as the primary mainspring of all human action and spiritual obedience. Edwards asserts that divine truth only transforms a soul to the extent that it deeply affects the heart, noting that Scripture consistently equates sin with an unaffected "hardness of heart" and true conversion with a tender, responsive spirit. Ultimately, while acknowledging that natural emotions can mingle with spiritual grace, he concludes that without habitual, holy affections, no amount of doctrinal light or outward religious duty is acceptable to God.

Why not just give up? On life, on work, on family, on your many dreams? This is a good question. Here's the God-honest truth: You'll die anyway and no one will remember you. Your life is vain. Beautiful poetry conveys the brevity of our lives in the opening lines of Ecclesiastes in 1:1–11. Our author does not bury the lede. But neither will he bury us … at least entirely. This book about our vain lives is strangely also a breath of fresh air.

Part of the great rediscovery at the Reformation was the truth that all Christians are saints. We see in 1 Corinthians 1:2 the Congregation of the saints, the Consecration of the saints, and the Calling of the saints.

The inclusion of the Gentiles was God's plan from the beginning, let the Gentiles praise and commend Him.

THE DAY THE GRAVEYARD GIVES UP ITS DEAD! 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 (KJV) The cemetery is not the final destination of the child of God. Because Jesus Christ conquered death, every believer has the promise of resurrection and eternal life.Paul's message to the Thessalonian believers teaches us how to walk in a way that pleases God, how to love one another, how to live faithfully in a troubled world, and how to face death with the glorious hope of Christ's return.Drawing upon the old Christian burial tradition of positioning graves so the deceased would symbolically face east, the biblical promises concerning the resurrection of the dead, the return of Jesus Christ, and the glorious hope awaiting every born-again believer.Through three tremendous truths, this message reminds us that death is certain, Jesus Christ has already conquered the grave, and one glorious day the trumpet of God will sound and the dead in Christ shall rise first.The direction of your grave will not determine your resurrection. What matters is whether you belong to Jesus Christ.The grave is not the end. The trumpet is coming. And Jesus Christ is Lord!
