Death on SermonAudio

I. Death II. Life

Brothers in the Lord: You might be satisfied with a 99% accuracy in your midterms. You might be satisfied with your 99% accuracy in typing. You might be satisfied 99% with your wife's cooking. But God is not satisfied with 99% your obedience. He is so holy that he declares death on all who are not 100% perfect in obedience. And the problem is, no one can keep any of God's law perfectly. More, to p...

Pastor Brian's sermon explores the theological weight of the two great commandments, arguing that genuine love for God and neighbor supersedes mere religious ritual or legalistic box-checking. It examines the nature of the scribe who asked Jesus about the greatest commandment, highlighting his insight that love is more significant than sacrifices. The message then shifts to the identity of Christ,...

Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Rom 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

This sermon examines the sixth commandment, 'Thou shalt not kill,' by defining murder as the unlawful, premeditated taking of innocent life and distinguishing it from accidental death through the Old Testament concept of cities of refuge. The central theological argument rests on the belief that human life possesses inherent sanctity because every person is created in the image of God, making the...

Acts 21:37 - 22:2 Paul had arrived in Jerusalem. The false rumors kept circulating. First, he did not regard the law – teaching others the same. The second rumor spread like wildfire through the city – he had defiled the temple – assumed he brought a Gentile (Greek) Trophimus into the temple. The second rumor sparked a riot. A vicious mob drags Paul out of the temple starts beating him to death. T...

This sermon explores the theology of Christian giving by contrasting the natural instinct to hoard resources with the biblical principle that generous sowing leads to spiritual and material harvest. The central argument rests on 2 Corinthians 9, where Paul urges believers to give cheerfully and without compulsion, trusting that God, who supplies seed to the sower, will also provide sufficiency for...

This sermon explores the theological transition from the Old Testament Passover to the New Testament Lord's Supper, identifying Jesus Christ as the ultimate fulfillment of the sacrificial lamb. The central message emphasizes that salvation is accomplished through Christ's death and the shedding of His blood, which must be personally applied to the believer by faith. Drawing from Mark 14 and suppor...

The sermon explores the life of Enoch as a model of unwavering faith and intimate fellowship with God, highlighting his unique status as a man who pleased God and was translated without seeing death. It contrasts Enoch's three-century walk with the Lord against the wickedness of his era, urging believers to maintain a distinct testimony and avoid the influence of a hostile world. The message empha...

The sermon explores the silence of Jesus during his suffering and death, drawing a parallel between the oppressed Israelites in Egypt and the Suffering Servant described in Isaiah 53. It emphasizes that Jesus remained silent not out of weakness, but in perfect obedience to the Father's will, bearing the guilt of humanity's sins without complaint or self-defense. The message contrasts human tendenc...

Folks… the goodness you see at the cross. And…the EVIL of man… that you see at the cross! But… there's one last thing that I want you to see. Last week… we talked about the placing of these two trees. And we also talked about… the purpose of these two trees. But this morning… I want you to see the power of these two trees.

Why do Christians continue to struggle with the same sins, and does God ever grow tired of their failures? In Genesis 20, Abraham repeats a decades-old deception about Sarah, placing his wife and the people of Gerar in danger. Yet despite Abraham's habitual sin and failure to trust God, the Lord intervenes to protect Sarah and preserve His covenant promises. This sermon examines the danger of unre...

The sermon emphasizes that the most critical relationship in a person's life is their standing before God, defined strictly as being either in Christ or out of Christ. Drawing from Ephesians 2, the message outlines three essential truths: the absolute necessity of salvation for all sinners, the exclusive personality of salvation found only in Jesus Christ rather than in human works or church membe...

1- Peace accomplished by Jesus' sacrificial death 2- Much more will be accomplished with His resurrected life

This sermon examines Matthew 16:18 to affirm that Jesus Christ is the sole builder and preserver of His church, refuting the notion that Peter holds a unique papal authority. The exposition highlights that Christ builds His body through the effective work of the Word and the Spirit, as demonstrated in the early church's growth in Acts, rather than through human effort or entertainment. Furthermore...
