Thanksgiving on SermonAudio

What did Isaiah do when he saw the LORD "high and lifted up"? He cried out, "Woe is me! for I am undone." What did John do on Patmos, the same man who had leaned on His breast at supper and asked "Lord, who is it?" He "fell at his feet as dead." Ask what terrible means when it is said of God, and ask how a man will stand when the Lord Jesus Christ comes as the lion and not as the lamb. "For the LO...

The sermon argues against religious traditions that forbid marriage or dictate dietary restrictions, labeling them as doctrines of devils rather than true godliness. It emphasizes that salvation and holiness are inward transformations of the heart, not outward physical exercises or adherence to man-made rules. The preacher contrasts the profitlessness of legalistic rituals with the comprehensive b...

The sermon exhorts believers to live as imitators of God by walking in love, modeled after Christ's sacrificial death on the cross. It emphasizes that sanctification is rooted in grace and requires rejecting sexual immorality, impurity, and covetousness, which are incompatible with the identity of a child of light. The preacher warns against participating in or approving of cultural perversions, u...

Come Unto Me 1. Jesus thanking 2. Jesus inviting 3. Jesus forgiving

The sermon explores the reality of spiritual warfare, identifying the flesh, the world, and the devil as primary enemies facing believers. It argues that worry stems from a lack of trust in God's omniscience and omnipotence, urging Christians to reject anxiety through persistent prayer and supplication. By casting all burdens on the Lord with thanksgiving, believers access a divine peace that guar...

Dave Jenkins continues the Romans series by considering Paul's thanksgiving for the believers in Rome, his continual prayers for them, his desire to strengthen them, and the mutual encouragement found in the body of Christ. Romans 1:8–12 shows that gospel-shaped ministry is marked by thanksgiving, prayerful dependence, faithful strengthening, and shared faith in Jesus Christ.

Wednesday Evening Service 09 Sep 2026 "Prayer: Requests and Thanksgiving" Philippians 4:6-7

Is God one refuge a man runs to after everything else has failed him, or is He the refuge? Ask why the very first word of this Psalm is the name of God, and why a man waits for trouble before he runs there. Read the word "very" set in front of present help, and ask how present that is. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Pastor Mark Hogan teaches on the fourth petition of the Lord's Prayer, 'Give us this day our daily bread' (Matthew 6:11), the first petition that addresses physical, temporal needs. He explains that 'bread' is a synecdoche for all bodily sustenance, citing Genesis 3:19, Psalm 104:15, Psalm 132:15, and the Heidelberg Catechism, and notes the request is deliberately modest—today's necessities, not r...

Timothy's good report brought Paul joy, but Paul kept praying for the Thessalonian believers and wanted help them grow. In 1 Thessalonians 3:6-13, his prayer reaches beyond present trouble to stronger faith, increasing love, and hearts established in holiness before Christ. These requests help us pray thoughtfully for the people we care about, whether they are struggling or doing well. Their walki...

This devotional explores the theological significance of the Lord's Supper as a means of grace where believers spiritually feed on Christ through faith rather than physical consumption. Drawing from the Heidelberg Catechism and passages in 1 Corinthians and John 6, it clarifies that while the sacrament is not essential for salvation, it serves as a vital sign and seal of the believer's union with...

Even though he is in prison and the church is facing various challenges, the themes of joy and thanksgiving are repeated over the letter of Paul to the church in Philippi. The Apostle Paul has joy because he knows the Lord Jesus Christ. We too as believers should have joy and thanksgiving because of Christ and His glorious work that He will bring to completion on the last day!

The sermon explores the biblical concept of peace as a fruit of the Spirit, distinguishing between objective justification and subjective inner rest. It emphasizes that this supernatural peace guards believers against anxiety and fear through trust in Christ rather than circumstances. The preacher highlights Paul's suffering as evidence that divine peace is accessible even amidst profound trials....

We have a love-hate relationships with labor because it is blessing from God, but at the same time the curse of sin has made it difficult and frustrating. The Labor Day holiday is a day for leisure - but leisure can also be a blessing or a curse depending on whether it is used properly.

This sermon examines Genesis 2:1-3 to explore the theological significance of God resting on the seventh day, arguing that this pause represents a shift from miraculous creation to providential sustenance. The speaker clarifies that God's rest is not due to exhaustion but serves as a deliberate moment of reflection on the completed work, establishing a pattern for human gratitude. By analyzing the...

Spiritual deception is real, and false teaching doesn't always look obviously dangerous. In 1 Timothy 4:1–5, Paul warns that some will depart from the faith by following deceptive spirits and false teachers. Their message may sound spiritual, but it contradicts God's Word and distorts the goodness of God's creation and the gospel. How can we recognize the counterfeit? By knowing the genuine articl...

This sermon examines King David's determination to bring the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem, highlighting his desire to place God at the center of his rule rather than on the periphery. The message contrasts David's reverent approach with Israel's historical neglect of the Ark, illustrating the consequences of treating God's presence as a mere object of superstition. By analyzing David's psalm o...
