Truth on SermonAudio

How do I keep watch over myself? Simple. You remember what God has done for you. You teach others the truth of what He's done. And you actively follow His commands.

This sermon explores Psalm 85 as a comprehensive prayer for spiritual renewal, structured around the past mercies of God, the present need for turning, and the future promise of restoration. The central message emphasizes that true revival is not merely an external event but a divine work that transforms the hearts of God's people, leading them to rejoice in His presence rather than in material blessings. The exposition highlights the theological foundation of revival in the cross, where mercy and truth meet, and righteousness and peace kiss, demonstrating that God's justice and grace coexist through Christ's atonement. The tone is both convicting and hopeful, urging the congregation to persist in prayer and faithfulness, recognizing that while revival cannot be planned, it is a guaranteed future reality for those who hold fast to God's promises. The sermon concludes with an urgent appeal for the church to seek this blood-bought blessing, trusting that God will revive His people to yield the fruit of righteousness.

"I am the way, the truth, and the life," declared Jesus. Matthew 24 is often referred to as the "Olivet Discourse," where Jesus predicts the destruction of the temple and discusses signs of the end times, including wars, famines, and the abomination of desolation. He emphasizes the need for vigilance and readiness, as the exact timing of these events is unknown, urging his followers to remain faithful and alert. Jesus knows the end times, and He is in control of the end times. We can trust Him as Savior of our souls for now and for eternity. This is the truth of God's word!

When God's Soldiers Forget Who the Enemy Is!. WE'VE GOT THE ARMOUR—BUT WE'RE FIGHTING EACH OTHER! Eph. 6:10–18 KJV My message tells the story of Christians who have studied God's Word, learned about spiritual warfare, and put on the appearance of soldiers—but have forgotten how to love and protect one another. Christians who know their Bibles and can identify every piece of spiritual Armour. Yet a brother has been neglected for years, and a sister sits in church silently carrying her fears. The enemy doesn't have to defeat a church from the outside but insideGod did not give His church spiritual Armour so Christians could destroy one another. He gave us Armour to withstand the devil, stand firm in the faith, and serve together under Jesus Christ.God has provided His people with the whole Armour of God, but what happens when Christians begin fighting one another instead of standing together against the real enemy?This message challenges believers to examine their hearts, restore broken fellowship, encourage the wounded, and remember that our ultimate spiritual battle is not against flesh and blood.Don't leave your brother on the battlefield. Your brother is not your ultimate enemy. Your sister is not your ultimate enemy. The devil is your enemy, and Jesus Christ is your victory!There was a day when every one of us who has been saved was helpless in sin. We could not save ourselves.But Jesus came to rescue us.Above all, it points listeners to Jesus Christ, whose death, burial, and resurrection provide the only way of salvation.Put on the whole Armour of God. Stand firm in His truth. Lift up the wounded. Forgive one another. And stand together for the glory of Jesus Christ!

Is expositional preaching the biblical standard for teaching God's Word? This sermon examines historical and New Testament examples, including Ezra, Jesus, and Paul, to demonstrate that true preaching involves reading, explaining, and applying scripture in context to reveal Christ. The message continues the theme from our AM sermon, contrasting this method with superficial inspirational talks, emphasizing that preachers must be diligent workmen who accurately handle the word of truth. It calls the congregation to value this rigorous approach, which leads to spiritual conviction, understanding, and a deep reliance on the gospel for salvation and daily living.

"Testimonies of Expository Preaching" This unique sermon time defines expository preaching as the faithful explanation of Scripture's original intent. This contrasts with topical or anecdotal messages prioritizing the preacher's ideas over the text! Using Nehemiah 8 as a foundational example, the message outlines a 'preaching ladder' presented at a MacArthur Center for Expository Preaching workshop, moving from personal preparation and textual analysis to the application of eternal truths for the modern believer. Two church members also share testimonies of how this method transformed their understanding of Titus, demonstrating that rigorous study reveals the structure and purpose of God's Word. This time emphasizes that this approach is biblical, instructive, and Christ-exalting, ensuring that the congregation hears from Christ rather than the preacher. Ultimately, the goal is to equip believers to understand and apply Scripture independently themselves, fostering a church community that is grounded in sound doctrine and personal engagement with the Bible. -Livestream: https://lwbcfruita.org/live -Donations: https://www.lwbcfruita.org/give

The sermon explores Psalm 8 to demonstrate how God utilizes the weak and insignificant to display His strength and glory, contrasting the fall of humanity with the exaltation of Jesus Christ. It argues that the gospel, though appearing foolish to the world, is the power of God for salvation, a truth embodied in the humble service of the local church. The message connects this theological principle to the practical ministry of the Slavic Gospel Association, highlighting stories of perseverance and evangelism in Ukraine and Central Asia despite war and persecution. The tone is both pastoral and encouraging, urging believers to remain confident in God's sovereignty and to share the good news with humility. Ultimately, the sermon affirms that through Christ's victory, believers are restored to their purpose of representing God's image in a broken world.
