Wisdom on SermonAudio

The sermon explores the sovereignty of God by examining the throne room vision in Revelation 4, contrasting human political structures with divine authority. It argues that only God is worthy to hold the offices of judge, protector, and ruler because He perfectly balances justice and mercy, symbolized by the red and white stones of His appearance. The text highlights how God exercises judicial wisdom, provides redemption through the Holy Spirit, and rules over all earthly and heavenly powers through angelic hosts. Ultimately, the preacher asserts that true worship arises from recognizing God's exclusive worthiness to rule both the universe and the human conscience. This recognition leads to the conclusion that Jesus Christ is the only King capable of fulfilling these roles with absolute perfection.

The sermon contrasts worldly wisdom, characterized by bitter jealousy and selfish ambition, with heavenly wisdom that originates from God. It identifies earthly and demonic sources for false wisdom, which leads to disorder and vile practices within the community. True wisdom is described through seven attributes: purity, peaceableness, gentleness, reasonableness, mercy, impartiality, and sincerity. Believers are called to examine their hearts and reject counterfeit motives in favor of a life marked by good fruit and righteousness. The message concludes with an invitation to embrace Christ as the ultimate source of wisdom and to become peacemakers who sow righteousness.

An exposition of Jeremiah 9:23-24 in which God through the prophet forbids boasting in wisdom, might, and riches, and directs the only legitimate ground of human confidence: the knowledge and understanding of the Lord himself. The sermon sets this text within the surrounding context of Judah's desolation and unfaithfulness, showing that true wisdom, true strength, and true wealth are found solely in knowing the God who exercises lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. Main points: - the false grounds of human boasting — wisdom, might, and riches - the one true ground of confidence — understanding and knowing the Lord - the character of the God who is to be known — his lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness Scripture references: - Jeremiah 9:11-26 - 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-jeremiah-9-the-holy-confidence Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

2 Peter 3:10-18 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

The sermon emphasizes the critical importance of controlling one's speech, drawing primarily from James chapter three to illustrate how a small tongue can have a disproportionately large impact on life and relationships. It highlights the responsibility of teachers and believers to seek divine wisdom, prepare carefully, and ensure their words align with God's truth rather than causing harm or division. Bro. Warren uses various illustrations, such as bits in horses' mouths and rudders on ships, to demonstrate that just as small tools guide large forces, our words shape our entire conduct and influence others significantly. Additionally, the message encourages using speech to build up, encourage, and reflect Christ's love, warning against the inconsistency of blessing God while cursing people made in His image. Ultimately, it calls for a life where thoughts, words, and actions are harmonized under God's grace to glorify Him and strengthen the community.
