Healthy foods scarcely benefit a person who's already ingested poison. So the Christian who attends a weekly Bible study, hears a sermon every week, and enjoys biblically-sound podcasts hinders spiritual growth if the heart is already poisoned. Poisoned? With what? "Therefore, laying aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander..." 1 Peter 2:1 (LSB). All these toxins can...

This sermon explores the nature and necessity of God's written Word, emphasizing that it is the authoritative record of His creation and will. By contrasting the Bible with other religious texts, the message highlights the unique inspiration of Scripture, where God used human authors to convey His truth without error. The central argument links the veracity of the Bible to the truth of Christ, war...

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 account of the Gerasene demoniac in Mark 5 to illustrate that human effort is insufficient to overcome spiritual bondage, whereas Jesus possesses the exclusive power to deliver and restore. The message highlights the enemy's tactics of isolation and division, contrasting them with the unified front of the demonic forces known as Legion. It emphasizes that Jesus intentional...

5 realities surrounding the extraordinary power Jesus has over the physical struggles of life.

Storms are inevitable—but panic doesn't have to be. In this sermon from Mark 4, Pastor John Deaton walks us straight into the stormy sea with the disciples to remind us that Jesus is not only aware of the storm—He's in the boat with us. When the winds rise and fear grips your heart, remember this: the storm still knows His voice. And when He speaks, peace follows. This is more than a weather story...

Take Heart; It Is I | Mark 6:45–56 Why does obedience to Christ sometimes lead us into suffering? Where is Jesus when we struggle against the winds of difficult providence? And how should Christians respond when fear threatens to overwhelm their faith? In Mark 6:45–56, Jesus sends His disciples into a storm, watches over them in their struggle, and comes to them walking upon the sea. His words, "T...

This sermon defines biblical faith as the absolute assurance and conviction of God's promises, distinguishing it from worldly wishful thinking or vague religious allegiance. It emphasizes that true faith is a reality grounded in the character of God and the reliability of His Word, providing believers with certainty amidst a chaotic and unstable world. The message illustrates this principle throug...

Egypt, the mightiest power on earth (at the time), steps into the ring against God—and no weapon formed against Him shall prosper. Against the backdrop of Israel's 430 years in Egypt, Moses and Aaron reunite and bring God's message and signs to the people, who believe and worship because the Lord has "visited" them: He looks after them and cares for them, as Ruth 1:6 and James 1:27 reveal. Pharaoh...

Today, we delved into Hebrews 4:12, reflecting on the power of God's Word as a living and active force that discerns the thoughts and intentions of our hearts. We connected this truth to the Protestant Reformation, emphasizing how the Scriptures serve as the ultimate authority that transforms lives. Join Pastor Steve as we study God's Word.

Dr. Randall is taking us through a journey to explain in depth what is so significant about the blood of Jesus and how we need to depend on it - for everything! The blood of Jesus is the key to unlocking the supernatural work of God in our lives. So listen to part two of this series as Dr. Randall goes into great detail and insight of this marvelous truth.

Pastor Wade continues his sermon series on the Book of Genesis going over Genesis 15:7-21 with sermon "The Covenant Pathway".

Dan 4:28 All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar. Dan 4:29 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon. Dan 4:30 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty? Dan 4:31 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O...

This sermon explores the first half of Psalm 19, emphasizing that God's creation continuously declares His glory and handiwork to all humanity. The preacher contrasts the modern tendency to live in artificial, confined environments with the biblical design for humans to engage with nature, arguing that the natural world serves as a universal testimony to God's power and presence. By referencing Ro...

1. Why is Paul Eager to Preach the Gospel in Rome? 2. Why is Paul Not Ashamed of the Gospel? 3. Why is the Gospel the Power of God for Salvation? 4. How Do We Get This Righteousness?

We live in a world of war. We live in a world where conquest is king. Ideas and mindsets are not easily changed. Apocalyptic literature tells us the story behind the story. It opens our minds to human greed and power. It challenges us to ask the question: do we have similar traits in ourselves? It may not be on the large scale of wars and rumors of wars but maybe our hearts wage war in a different...

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.

The sermon explores the paradox of the Gospel, arguing that the message of the cross appears as foolishness to the world but serves as the power of God to those who are saved. It contrasts human wisdom, which relies on works and reasoning, with divine wisdom, which offers salvation through faith in Jesus Christ alone. The text emphasizes that God chose the weak and foolish things of the world to c...

The church living to God's glory 1. Witness to the truth of God 2. Wait upon the power of God 3. Worship the Son of God

The sermon examines the account of Jacob wrestling with the divine figure in Genesis 32 as a paradigm for effectual prayer. It contrasts Jacob's initial, unanswered petition with his subsequent intense, personal encounter with God, highlighting the necessity of solitude, perseverance, and the weakening of the flesh to receive spiritual victory. The message emphasizes that true power with God is ac...

As we enter chapter 4 of our study we immediately find ourselves with a rebuke from James regarding internal strife within the body of believers. Back biting and infighting was a problem for this early church, much like the church today. It isn't attacks from the outside that sinks churches, it's the war that is taking place within. The end of chapter 3 leaves off with peace, but we must be aware...
