Preparation on SermonAudio

Welcome to our service at Ardaragh FPC. We hope you will join with us as we meet together to worship God.

May one who doubts of his being in Christ, or of his due preparation, come to the Lord's supper? May any who profess the faith, and desire to come to the Lord's supper, be kept from it?

In Psalm 2, we see that though the world resists Yahweh and His Anointed, it cannot overturn His rule because He has established Christ as King; therefore, the only wise response is to bow before Him and take refuge in Him. I. The world rejects the Lord: A. The nations rebel and plot in vain. (v. 1) B. Their rulers stand against the Lord and His Anointed. (v. 2–3) II. The Lord responds to their ra...

This sermon expounds on Isaiah 53 as the foundational gospel text for the Lord's Supper, presenting the Suffering Servant as the divine deliverer who came in humility to secure eternal salvation. The message is structured around three key actions of Christ: He came to deliver believers from their spiritual condition, He paid the penalty for their sins through substitutionary atonement, and He secu...

Jesus is coming again - "Be ye therefore ready" Be WATCHING.

This sermon explores the communal identity of believers as exiles in the world, drawing from 1 Peter 4 to outline three essential marks of Christian community. The central message emphasizes a mindset prepared for rejection, rooted in the union with Christ's suffering and victory over sin. It further highlights the necessity of a forgiving love that covers a multitude of sins, illustrated through...

There are five things a church body learns, in preparation to fulfill the great commission, each time we gather together: preaching, witnessing, local outreach, individual outreach, public outreach. THE BIBLE Baptist Church of DeLand, Florida Pastor James W. Knox Pastor David A. Brown https://biblebaptistdeland.com For more sermons and Bible study materials, please visit our web store at https://s...

In Mark 6, Jesus looks upon the multitude and has compassion on them, for they are like sheep without a shepherd. In Ezekiel 34, God promised to personally shepherd His scattered and neglected people. Christ came to fulfill this role. He is the Good Shepherd. His compassion for the people is expressed first and foremost through teaching, for God's word is the most essential provision for human lif...

Ephesians 2:8-10 is expounded as Paul's definitive statement on the nature of saving grace: that salvation is entirely the gift of God, received through faith, excluding all human boasting, and issuing in a life of good works prepared by God beforehand. The sermon works through the whole of Ephesians 2 as context before focusing on the doctrines of grace, the instrument of faith, and the purpose o...

Christian love includes correction. 1. Presume upon it. 2. Prepare for it. 3. Protect by it.

Proverbs 7 exposes the counterfeit love offered by sexual temptation and contrasts it with God's design for covenant love—a faithful, knowing, passionate relationship that reflects Christ's love for His church. In The Strange Woman: Counterfeit Love, Solomon's warning shows how sexual sin promises pleasure without consequences, yet ultimately brings brokenness, shame, and destruction. The message...

"Borrowed Bread — We Know a Man Who Can." The message centers on the truth that we know a Man who can—Jesus—and everything we have becomes useful, fruitful, and sufficient when surrendered into His hands. The feeding of the multitude shows that what appears small and ordinary in our hands can become extraordinary when given to Him. The storm reveals His authority over the natural world, and the de...

GOD SPEAKS THROUGH HIS CHURCH.Ephesians 4:11–16, 25–29 KJV God never intended the Christian life to be lived in isolation. He places believers together in the body of Christ, where we worship, grow, serve, encourage one another, and hear His truth proclaimed. In Ephesians 4:11–16, Paul explains that Christ gave leaders to His church "for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry,...

Exodus 12:1-14 The Passover Meal

What makes the Bible the Bible? In this lesson, Pastor Ed Decker takes us back to the foundation of what we believe about the Word of God. The Bible contains 66 books, written by approximately 40 different authors over a period of roughly 1,500–1,600 years, yet these books form ONE BOOK—the Word of God. Pastor Decker looks at the unity of Scripture, the two major divisions of the Bible—the Old Tes...

God uses various trials, afflictions, and persecutions to cause the Christian to bear spiritual fruit and prepare the believer for glory.

Jesus related the Parable of the Great Supper, reclining at a meal in the ruler of Pharisee's table. In the parable a great supper had been prepared with invitations sent out to the special guests. All was prepared. The parable was meant to demonstrate that the Jewish nation was missing God's great invitation to His full provision of salvation. The servants sent into the highways and hedges would...

During this period, Spurgeon is locked in combat, contending for the honour and glory of Christ. This sermon is situated both in the overall battle he is fighting, but also in the context of a pastoral ministry in which he is conscious of the need to feed and encourage the flock of Christ. So, having previously preached on the Lamb in glory (the previous sermon in this volume, number 2095, if you...

Joshua prepares Israel for his soon departure from earth by warning them against idolatry.

FIVE WOMEN WITH NO MAN![But They Still Got Their Inheritance!] Numbers 27:1–7 KJV From Numbers 27:1–7, this message examines the remarkable faith of Zelophehad (zeh-LOF-eh-had)'s five daughters. With no son in their family to receive their father's portion, they refused simply to walk away. They stood before Moses and asked for their inheritance, Moses brought their cause before the Lord, and God...

Are you prepared to give? 2 Corinthians 9 teaches us that biblical giving is not about guilt, obligation, or simply giving money, but about having the right heart and understanding why we give. We give because God first gave to us, and when we give cheerfully, faithfully, and according to His Word, we have the opportunity to see God's power, meet needs, encourage others, and ultimately point back...

You do not need to discover an impressive platform or hidden assignment to live a meaningful Christian life; God calls you first to belong to Christ and faithfully serve Him where He has placed you. In this episode of SheRises, we gently examine the discouragement, comparison, and confusion many women experience when they feel "stuck" or believe God must be calling them to something bigger. Ephesi...
