Death on SermonAudio

Live stream is available Sunday mornings at 11am and Wednesday nights at 7pm.

This week we will be covering the story of Jephthah and his infamous "vow" in Judges 11. There are a few places in Judges that the irony is quite on-the-nose, and Jephthah's vow is one example. Jephthah makes a rash vow, one that harms his daughter (his only child), one that ends his family line, and one that offends God. But consider the gloriously-different example of Christ: the One offered up...

In the sermon today, we learn that Treasured People Live With Hope. How is this possible in our world of Brokenness, Suffering and Death?

This sermon examines the religious trial of Jesus in Matthew 26, contrasting the 'faithful and true witness' of Christ with the false, twisted, self-righteous, and compliant witnesses present in the Sanhedrin. The exposition highlights the corruption of the judicial process, noting how legal requirements were violated to condemn an innocent man, while Jesus maintained a silence of confidence and p...

Part of the Be Joyful series in Philippians. Pastor Robert Rohlin moves from principle to practice: after recapping what it means to work out, not work for, your salvation, he opens Philippians 2:14-15 and Paul's command to "do all things without murmurings and disputings." He traces grumbling back to Israel in the wilderness, delivered through the Red Sea and complaining almost at once, and shows...

Joshua 20:1-9 (KJV) The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying, 2 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses: 3 That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood. 4 And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at...

The question is NOT, When does Christ come but HOW does He come? John tells you how.

Jesus Christ perfectly displays humility and patience. Looking to Philippians 2:3–8, Dave Jenkins considers Christ's willing service, His patience with imperfect disciples, and His obedience to the point of death on a cross. This episode of Contending for the Word Q&A explains how Christ's character shapes our service to others and our response to suffering. We need Jesus as our Savior, and His gr...

The sermon examines the theological reality of spiritual death and total depravity, asserting that unsaved humanity is under the control of Satan and incapable of seeking God without divine intervention. It contrasts this state with the supernatural act of regeneration, where God quickens the dead and raises them to sit in heavenly places with Christ, emphasizing that salvation is entirely a gift...

This passage helps us understand how the Bible affects us when we spend time reading it. We can see how the Bible restores, or gives life to, our soul. We see how it can make the simple wise, and we can also understand the discernment it gives us. We can understand how God's Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, and yes, the Word of God enlightens the eyes of our understanding. This...

The sermon explores the theological realities of the afterlife by examining the parable of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16. It emphasizes that death acts as a permanent separator, leading to either comfort in Abraham's bosom or conscious torment in hell, where individuals retain memory and desire for relief but lack the ability to change their fate. The message highlights that God provides the...

This sermon examines Paul's prayer for the Ephesian church, emphasizing that true theological knowledge and spiritual understanding are gifts of divine wisdom and revelation rather than human achievement. The speaker argues that God's supernatural intervention is necessary for salvation, highlighting the resurrection of Christ as the ultimate demonstration of His power over death and all earthly a...

Matthew provides three instances where the disciples misunderstood the purpose and nature of Christ's impending death and resurrection. First, Peter objected to Jesus' death. Next, the disciples sorrowed at His death. Finally, they expressed their selfish ambition for temporal glory. All these errors stemmed from a failure to grasp the spiritual significance of the cross -- its life-saving power!...

This sermon explores the two absolute certainties of human existence: death and judgment, correcting the common cultural notion that death and taxes are the only sure things. It grounds the certainty of judgment in the historical reality of Jesus Christ's resurrection, which validates his claims to divine authority and the role of final judge. The message contrasts the inevitable end of earthly li...

Baptism by immersion is an act of obedience to Christ's clear command. In the New Testament, it consistently follows a person's hearing of the gospel, repentance, and profession of faith. As a public declaration, it signifies belonging to Jesus and unity with Him in His death and resurrection. It is not a means to earn salvation or a substitute for personal faith. In this study, we consider 12 bib...
