Wisdom on SermonAudio

God distinguishes true wisdom from the foolish wisdom of man by the preaching of the Cross of Jesus Christ.

The sermon examines the necessity of God's righteousness by analyzing Romans 3:23, asserting that all humanity is under condemnation because there is no difference between individuals in their sinful state. It argues that every person has sinned and consequently fallen short of the glory of God, which is defined by the sinless nature of Christ. The speaker emphasizes that salvation is not achieved through human effort, religious tradition, or water baptism, but solely through faith in Jesus Christ, who serves as the propitiation for sin. This teaching rejects the idea of limited atonement, affirming that Christ's sacrifice is sufficient for the whole world, and clarifies that justification is a legal declaration based on God's grace rather than human works.

1. A Doxology Of The Apostle's Gospel 2. God's Power & Wisdom Through Christ 3. The Glory Due Unto Him

In Daniel 1:8–19, four young men choose faithfulness to God over the privileges of the king's table. God grants them favor, miraculously sustains them, and equips them for service in Babylon. In this message, we explore the deeper desire behind Daniel's resolve: to do God's will. Connecting Daniel's obedience with Jesus' words in John 4:34, this sermon challenges us to examine our loyalties, resist compromise, and trust God with the consequences of faithfulness. Through Christ's grace, we can learn to delight in obedience, whatever the cost.

Through Jesus Christ, you have the privilege of approaching God as your loving Heavenly Father, trusting Him with the confidence of a beloved child. Because He is both perfectly loving and almighty, you can be assured that He knows your needs and has the power to provide for them. Even when His answers are not what you hoped for, you can trust that His wisdom and love are guiding His response. You are called to pray with childlike faith, humble reverence, and confidence that your Heavenly Father always seeks your ultimate good.

Beloved in the Lord Jesus: You saw Jacob's wisdom in dealing with his brother Esau, a known rebel against God, a man destined for perdition. Jacob was friendly with Esau but not too friendly. He kept Esau at bay, using friendliness to disarm him so he would not kill him and hinder his plan to settle Canaan and wait for Messiah. But would Jacob's sons have the same level of wisdom as they interacted with the world and waited for Messiah to come? Or would they make life difficult in the land? Would they know how to live with the Canaanites and preserve their Christian testimony? See today how Jacob and his sons began their stay in Canaan with foolish actions, actions that posed a threat to the coming of Jesus to save sinners from hell and misery. Our headings are: 1. Harming a Covenant Child 2. Hurting a Covenant nation Our goals are: That you will be wise in your actions, knowing the building of Christ's kingdom is at stake.

This sermon examines James 4:1-3 to identify the root cause of conflict among believers as selfish desires and the influence of earthly wisdom. The message explains how unsurrendered desires for pleasure produce strife, envy, covetousness, and self-reliance, contrasting these destructive attitudes with the peaceable and gentle wisdom that comes from above. Through the illustration of the cuckoo bird, the sermon demonstrates how selfish ambitions can consume our attention, harm others, and leave us continually unsatisfied. The text also challenges believers to examine their prayer lives, recognizing that both neglecting prayer and praying with selfish motives reveal a failure to depend upon God. Key themes include walking in the Spirit rather than the flesh, replacing worldly ambitions with godly desires, and approaching God in earnest prayer according to His will. The message concludes by encouraging believers to examine their hearts, turn from sinful desires, and pray boldly with confidence in God's goodness and faithfulness.

This sermon explores how believers can maintain calm and faith when facing unexpected crises, using the account of Daniel in Babylon as a primary example. The central message is that God's sovereignty ensures He is present and in control even before a crisis reaches the individual, providing a foundation for stability. The text contrasts the inability of worldly wisdom and experts to resolve deep spiritual or existential troubles with the assurance that God reveals secrets and provides answers. It emphasises that a godly response to pressure involves seeking God first rather than relying on human intellect or panic, as demonstrated by Daniel's calm and wise approach to the king's decree. The sermon encourages the audience to trust in the God who dwelt in flesh and stands above all circumstances, urging them to respond to life's challenges with prayer, wisdom, and steady faith.
