Unbelief on SermonAudio

The author of Hebrews reiterates an exhortation from Psalm 95 to bring home the strong need to respond in faith to the voice of God through Scripture, which calls for obedience. What happened at Kadesh Barnea is called "the rebellion" in Hebrews 3:15-16. We point out that in Hebrews and elsewhere in the Bible, unbelief and disobedience are linked. Unbelief leads to failing to heed the call to trus...

Welcome to Liberty Baptist Church.

And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

The sermon explores the inseparable relationship between repentance and faith, describing them as two sides of the same coin in the process of salvation. Using the parable of the fig tree in Luke 13, the teaching illustrates that while God performs the work of conviction and drawing, the individual must respond by turning from unbelief to belief. The message corrects common misconceptions, such as...

Pastor Brian's sermon examines the parable of the wedding feast to illustrate the gravity of human choice and the necessity of responding to God's invitation with appropriate reverence. The central argument posits that while God extends salvation to all, including the 'bad and good,' individuals must accept the righteousness provided by Jesus Christ, symbolized by the wedding garment, rather than...

The sermon explores the declaration in John 4:42 that Jesus is the Christ, the Saviour of the world, using the conversion of the Samaritans in Sychar as a model for divine revival. It argues that the world, depicted by the unbelief of the Samaritans, is inherently in need of a deliverer due to its state of wickedness and spiritual darkness. The message highlights that God appointed Jesus as the Sa...

The narrative unit which begins in Hebrews 3:12 goes through verse 19. This is clear from the use of repeated terms and themes connected to those terms. We are covering verses 12-14 because of the need to explain key theological terms from the Greek which are found in these verses. Those themes include the serious danger of unbelief. Unbelief is *apistia* which is found again in 3:19. It is the op...

Here is the dire state of humanity in unbelief. God's law shows us our guilt, but we are vastly too fallen to earn acceptance with God. Here, then, is God's promises of acceptance and righteousness as a gift, secured through faith in the saving work of Christ.

By rejecting the doctrine of God'...

The sermon examines Isaiah 22, contrasting God's impending judgment on Jerusalem with the promise of a faithful servant who typifies Christ.
