Debt on SermonAudio

Salvation has always been a gift of God. It cannot be earned. No man is capable of meeting God's righteous demands on his own. Abraham chose to believe God and God rewarded him with His righteousness.

Jonah 3:5–10 shows a city that believed a bare word of overthrow, stopped its violence, and was spared. The sermon presses the difference between cheap repentance, true (imperfect) repentance, and the false demand for perfect repentance, and why greater light after Christ makes refusal heavier than Nineveh's or Sodom's. Nineveh heard five Hebrew words of coming ruin and no promise of pardon. From...

Our third message in this series about salvation is going to deal with redemption. Redemption has the idea of procurement by payment of ransom. The world is a slave, a slave to sin, we are all born in the bondage of sin. In essence we are born dead. Without hope, and without the ability to change our own destiny. In our lost condition we are in bondage to our master, that master is sin. The devil...

The sermon centers on the exhortation in 2 Timothy to stir up the gift of God, identifying this gift as the Holy Spirit and emphasizing the believer's active role in maintaining spiritual vitality. It challenges the notion of passive faith by contrasting mere belief with the trembling of demons, asserting that true salvation is secured by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by cultural associ...

This sermon examines the parable of the unforgiving servant to illustrate the boundless nature of God's grace and the corresponding obligation for believers to extend forgiveness to others. The central argument posits that human sin creates an unpayable debt to God, which is fully forgiven through divine mercy, thereby rendering any human offense against a believer insignificant in comparison. The...

We all accumulate debt in our lives and then comes the time to make the payment for that debt, and the same thing is true spiritually, as we have accumulated sin debt because of our iniquities and only the Lord Jesus Christ can make the payment for that sin debt.

Christian ID "Unity in the Gospel" Ephesians 2:11-16 Separation (vv. 11-12) Ro.9:4-5 to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law (Torah) the worship, and the promises. 5 To them belong the patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ. Reconciliation (vv. 13-16; Jon.4:2-3,11a-b) Col. 2:13-14 13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and...

This sermon explores the theological significance of the three hours of darkness during the crucifixion, interpreting it as the manifestation of God's wrath against sin. The speaker connects this event to the concept of eternal separation from God, often described as outer darkness, and contrasts it with the light of redemption found in Christ. By citing historical records and Scripture, the messa...

In learning to understand how God wants us to love others, Christ is the supreme example to observe and follow. In this message we see the inexpressible debt we owed God and how because of His great love, He has freely forgiven us. We also see that sometimes love actually has to do hard things. This message takes a fresh look at what love is and how to love.

God's justice is satisfied in Christ alone: 1. Our Debt 2. Christ's Payment 3. God's favour

The sermon teaches that because Christians have died and been raised with Christ, they must not return to the slavery of human regulations and counterfeit spirituality from which Christ has freed them. False religion may have an appearance of wisdom through rules, asceticism, religious experiences, and outward displays of holiness, but these are merely imitations that cannot justify sinners or pro...

This sermon examines the contrasting allegiances of David and Saul in 1 Samuel 22, highlighting how David gathers a community of the distressed, indebted, and discontented while Saul relies on self-serving servants. The exposition contrasts David's reliance on God's counsel and protection with Saul's rebellion and violent suppression of the priesthood. By analyzing the specific conditions of those...

Westminster Confession of Faith Chapter 17 Article 2 Is there a way that we can be rightfully declared guilty of the sin of another person? The sermon explores the theological concept of covenantal blood guilt through the lens of 2 Samuel 21, where David addresses a famine caused by Saul's violation of an oath to the Gibeonites. It argues that under the covenantal system, the sins of a representat...

In this sixth lesson on the Lord's Prayer, we consider the fifth petition: "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." We examine the biblical language of sin as debt and the continuing need of justified believers to confess their sins and seek forgiveness from their heavenly Father. Particular attention is given to the distinction between forgiveness in justification, whereby all our s...

The sermon centers on the apostle Paul's declaration in Romans that he is not ashamed of the gospel, identifying three key responsibilities for believers: awareness of their debt to share the message, the willingness to avail themselves for evangelism, and the boldness to proclaim Christ without fear. The speaker illustrates these points with personal testimony from Grenada, including a confrontat...
