Wisdom on SermonAudio

God is eternal, uncreated, and self-existent. He existed before creation and depends on nothing outside Himself. In this episode of New Age to Christ, Doreen Virtue examines the self-existence of God and contrasts the biblical Creator with the impersonal concepts of God found in New Age and New Thought spirituality. Doreen explains how beliefs such as non-duality blur the biblical distinction between God and His creation. Scripture instead reveals the eternal God, whose wisdom, knowledge, power, and existence are entirely His own. Because God is self-existent and sovereign, Christians can trust Him when life feels uncertain. We do not need to tell God how to answer our prayers or carry every burden ourselves. His thoughts and ways are higher than ours, and His wisdom and timing are perfect. Drawing from Isaiah 44:6, Psalm 90:2, Isaiah 55:8–9, and Proverbs 3:5, Doreen encourages Christian women to know God through His Word, bring every concern to Him in prayer, and trust the Lord rather than leaning on their own understanding.

In light of the division and quarreling infesting the Corinthian church, Paul reminds them of cornerstone truths about the church. The church belongs to Christ, our superior source of wisdom as His people is found in God, and He has graciously given to us all things through the Lord Jesus Christ. These powerful reminders orient our hearts to be driven to seek His glory in all things!

THE NUMBERS OF GOD. [When Numbers Become Part of the Message] Psalm 90:12 KJV Does God use numbers to communicate truth in His Word? From the seven days of Creation to the twelve tribes of Israel, the forty years in the wilderness, Daniel's seventy weeks, the 144,000, and the repeated sevens of Revelation, Scripture reveals a God of remarkable order and purpose. In this Bible study, we examine biblical numerics and the fascinating numerical patterns found throughout Scripture. We will also consider the work of nineteenth-century Bible scholar F. W. Grant, the five-fold structure of the Psalms, and the intriguing theory connecting certain Psalm numbers with events in modern Jewish history—including the striking relationship sometimes proposed between Psalm 48 and the establishment of modern Israel in 1948. But an important distinction must always be maintained: a biblical pattern is not automatically a biblical prophecy. We must never force Scripture to fit a numerical theory. Our guiding principle is simple: SCRIPTURE CONTROLS THE NUMBER. THE NUMBER NEVER CONTROLS SCRIPTURE.

Christians should be known as people of integrity. When we make commitments, we should do our level best to meet them.

WHEN GOLD ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH. [Heaven's Standard of Value]Matthew 6:19–21; 1 Peter 1:7; Revelation 21:21 KJV Deep beneath Manhattan, hundreds of thousands of gold bars are carefully guarded in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Nations consider gold so valuable that they weigh it, verify its purity, record its ownership, and protect it behind enormous security. Yet the Bible tells us about things far more valuable than gold. Our faith is "much more precious than… gold." God's wisdom is better than gold. God's Word is to be desired "more… than much fine gold." And our salvation wasn't purchased with silver or gold, but with "the precious blood of Christ." Jesus therefore commands us not merely to accumulate earthly treasure, but to "lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven." One day every earthly fortune will be left behind. And when God's children enter the New Jerusalem, we will discover that the substance mankind spent centuries fighting to possess is beneath our feet—the street is "pure gold." What earth treasures, Heaven uses for pavement. The greatest treasure isn't gold at all. The greatest treasure is Jesus Christ. So, ask yourself: Where is my treasure—and where is my heart?

Pastor Jeremiah Gabbard | Gen. 1:20-25 This sermon examines Genesis chapter one to establish that life originated solely through God's intentional design rather than by accident. The preacher outlines three key points: the origin of life as a divine act, the order of life reflecting God's wisdom and authority, and the ordination of life toward a specific purpose. By contrasting biblical truth with evolutionary theories, the text emphasizes that every living creature owes its existence to the Creator. The message underscores the sanctity of life and the importance of accepting Scripture's declarative truths without overcomplicating them. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a faithful reliance on God's word as the foundation for understanding existence and moral order.

This sermon examines Daniel chapter 2 to highlight the supremacy of God over human kingdoms and the call for believers to remain faithful in their daily walk. The preacher contrasts the temporary nature of earthly power with the eternal kingdom established by Christ, emphasizing that human wisdom ultimately fails before divine revelation. Key lessons include spiritual leadership rooted in humility rather than ambition, the futility of false religions, and evangelism as God's work through faithful witness. The message encourages listeners to trust in God's providence during crises and to seek His glory above personal reputation or success. Ultimately, the sermon urges the congregation to live faithfully, knowing that God uses ordinary believers to make a lasting difference for His kingdom.
