Crucifixion on SermonAudio

Spurgeon hates sin, and rightly so. It is, in part, a reflection of his love to Christ, and his love to Christ only increases as he considers the sinfulness of sin. This is a profoundly insightful sermon, with shades of John Owen's books on temptation and the mortification of sin, a sort of anatomy of sin, at least in the way that it tries to draw us into darkness and wickedness. So first we think...

In Hebrews 9:23–26, we see why Jesus Christ is the one great, glorious sacrifice for sin. While the sacrifices of the old covenant were repeated year after year, Christ offered Himself once for all, entered the true heavenly sanctuary, and accomplished what no animal sacrifice or human effort could ever accomplish: the definitive removal of sin through His atoning death. Stop striving to earn God'...

The way to heal divisions and contentions in the Body of Christ is to preach Christ Crucified. Christ is the wisdom of God who heals all our infirmities.

The Gospel of God - Message 34 - Christ Raised for Our Justification - Romans 4:23-25. Martin Luther wrote, "In these verses the whole of Christianity is comprehended." These verses give us a brief yet thorough summary of the Gospel itself.

This sermon examines Paul's defense of his apostleship in Galatians, arguing that the gospel is a divine revelation rather than a human invention. The preacher highlights that a human-originated gospel would flatter human pride, rely on works for salvation, and feature a heroic, worldly Messiah, whereas the true gospel exposes human sinfulness, offers salvation by grace alone, and centers on a hum...

The distinguishing grace of God is witnessed in this passage where one is taken and the other left.

As Christians, we should all know how to get "saved". It's our faith in what Jesus did for us. His blood paid for all our sins. He was crucified on the cross, died and was buried in a tomb. Three days later He rose from the dead. This is our Gospel for today. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 as revealed to Paul by Jesus Himself. BUT...why did you get saved? What led you to believe? Fear of hell? Desire of hea...

From Colossians 3, the message explains that because believers are risen with Christ and dead to the old life, they must mortify the deeds of the flesh—treating fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness as powerless since the old man was crucified with Christ. Victory comes by faith in what Jesus accomplished, not self-effort, as the flesh no longer has a...

This sermon examines the resurrection account in Mark 16, emphasizing that the crucified Jesus has risen just as He predicted. The message highlights that the resurrection does not erase the cross but vindicates Christ's sacrificial death as the central act of salvation for sinners. It argues that the reliability of Jesus' words is demonstrated by the fulfillment of His promises, even when His dis...

In Ephesians 1:7–12, Paul reveals that God's saving work in Christ extends far beyond the forgiveness of sins. Through three glorious truths- redemption, revelation, and inheritance- we see how God graciously redeems His people, unfolds His eternal purpose to unite all things in Christ, and secures an everlasting inheritance for His adopted children. Christ's blood has purchased our forgiveness, G...

Pastor Josh digs deep in the spiritual goldmine that is found in Mark 15:34

The humble king rode a colt into Jerusalem to be crucified securing lasting peace. How would you have responded to him? What is your response today?

This sermon on John 3:1-16 expounds the necessity of sovereign regeneration. Nicodemus, a Pharisee and Sanhedrin member, approaches Jesus privately by night, acknowledging His divine signs yet treating Him as a mere teacher. Still spiritually blind, he cannot see the kingdom on his own terms. Jesus insists that unless one is born again of water and the Spirit (Ezekiel 36), he cannot enter God's ki...

This sermon was first delivered on a Thursday evening in the March of the previous year, and then repurposed for reading on the first Lord's day of the year 1890. It is a delight to think that Spurgeon would preach something so sweet and substantial at an ordinary midweek service, and no surprise to find such a topic so well suited to the opening of a year. Here he develops the sermon with us, mov...

The intercessory prayer of Christ made on the cross is the very reason why he went to the cross. To obtain the forgiveness of the sins of his people.

"This office the Lord Jesus did most willingly undertake; which that He might discharge, He was made under the law, and did perfectly fulfil it, endured most grievous torments immediately in His soul, and most painful sufferings in His body; was crucified, and died; was buried, and remained under the power of death; yet saw no corruption. On the third day He arose from the dead, with the same body...

This devotional explores the paradox of the cross as presented in 1 Corinthians 1, highlighting how the message of Christ crucified appears as foolishness to the world but stands as the power of God for those who believe. The text contrasts human wisdom and strength with divine wisdom and power, emphasizing that God chose to save believers through the seemingly weak and foolish means of the gospel...

Who are you in Christ, and where does your true identity come from? This week, Pastor Steve continues our The Gospel Shaped Church series with a message from Galatians 2 titled, "Finding Our True Identity." Paul reminds us that we can never earn righteousness through our own efforts or religious accomplishments. We are made right with God through faith in Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice accomplished...

Christian ID "The Mission of Gospel Mystery" Ephesians 3:7-13 The Plan for the Preacher (vv. 7-9) The Purpose for his Preaching (vv. 10-13) 1 Cor. 2:7-9 7 But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But, as it is written, "What...

This sermon examines the contrasting responses of the two criminals crucified alongside Jesus, highlighting the theological significance of the middle cross where Christ serves as the perfect substitute for sinners. The preacher contrasts the unrepentant thief, who seeks only physical relief, with the awakened thief who recognizes his own guilt and Jesus' innocence, demonstrating that salvation is...

Matthew 27:22-23 "Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified." This sermon examines the trial of Jesus in Matthew 27 to illustrate the spiritual realities of damnation, salvation, and compassion. The preacher...

This sermon explores the theological purpose of God's eternal election as presented in Ephesians 1:3-6, arguing that believers were chosen for holiness, adoption, and the praise of God's glory. The message clarifies that salvation is not merely about forgiveness but involves a transformative process where grace produces obedience, countering both legalism and antinomianism. It emphasizes the famil...
