Righteous Before God I. The Idea II. The Ground III. The Means

This sermon examines the church of Thessalonica as a prototype for the Christian life, emphasizing that the gospel arrives not merely as words but with the sovereign power of the Holy Spirit. The central message highlights five fruits of this divine power: genuine conversion from idolatry, a virtuous life characterized by faith, love, and hope, a Christ-centered devotion, a God-centered trust, and...

God, in His great mercy, saves sinners. He gives us new birth through His living Word. But He does not leave us isolated. Instead, He brings us into His royal family. There as brothers and sisters in the household of God, the local church, as living stones we are being built together into a spiritual house. A people among whom God delights to dwell. Adopted into His royal family, we are called to...

The sermon examines 1 Samuel 13 to illustrate how Saul's self-willed assumption of priestly authority led to his divine rejection and a life characterized by perpetual conflict. By contrasting Saul's lack of peace with the promise in Proverbs 16:7 that those who please the Lord find peace even with enemies, the message highlights the spiritual danger of acting outside of God's appointed order. The...

This sermon explores the assurance of salvation found in 1 Peter 1:2, addressing the instability of modern society by emphasizing the believer's secure position in Christ. The central message defines the term 'elect' not as a mysterious theological abstraction but as a description of those who are in Jesus, thereby sharing in His status as God's chosen one. The exposition breaks down the verse int...

What if the greatest threat to a spiritual awakening isn't secular hostility, but a manufactured fake? Between 1792 and 1838, America witnessed a dramatic tug-of-war for the soul of revival—shifting from the quiet, sovereign, and deeply doctrinal outpourings in New England towns like Somers and Canton to the high-pressure, emotionally charged "New Measures" of the western frontier and Charles Finn...

This sermon explores the call to holiness as pictured in Exodus 13, presenting the believer's identity as a set-apart people belonging to God. The message outlines five dimensions of this holy life: being a redeemed firstborn, enjoying freedom from the bondage of sin, feeding on the spiritual sustenance of Christ, bearing the fruit of a transformed character, and looking forward to a glorious eter...

God reveals how to love Himself and neighbor when theft in various forms occurs.

This sermon examines the emergence of false teachers as the most significant threat to the Christian faith, arguing that they are more dangerous than external persecution because they undermine the authority of God's Word. Pastor Marc Grimaldi analyzes 2 Peter 2:1-3 to demonstrate that these individuals operate with secret, destructive motives, specifically greed and sensuality, which lead them to...

The sermon argues that the debate over Bible translations is fundamentally an issue of authority rather than linguistics, asserting that the Bible must remain the final authority in the believer's life. Drawing from 2 Timothy 3:13-17, the message emphasizes that all Scripture is inspired by God and is necessary for salvation and sanctification, making any alteration or omission a rejection of divi...

This sermon examines the opening verses of 1 Corinthians, highlighting the source of apostolic authority in Jesus Christ rather than human credentials. It emphasises the theological reality of the local church, describing believers as sanctified and called to be saints through the atoning work of Christ, which reorients the Christian life from striving for holiness to living out a given new life....

If our adversary, the devil, is like a roaring lion seeing who he may devour we had better be on guard and know what to expect and how to be protected.

Loving God and loving the world are incompatible because the world's values and ways are contrary to God. Salvation brings a real change in a person's life, separating them from their former way of living and turning their affections toward God, His Word, and His people. The love of the world can keep people from fully yielding to Christ and can draw professing believers away from God's work and t...

The Gospel of Jesus is a gift to be received and lived.

This sermon explores the practical and eternal benefits of godliness, contrasting it with the fleeting profits of bodily exercise and worldly pursuits. It argues that while physical discipline has limited value, godliness is profitable for all things, offering blessings in the present life and assurance for the future. The message emphasizes that true freedom is found not in autonomy or legalism,...

Scripture: Philippians 2:5–11 Sermon: "Make Christ Your Role Model" Speaker: Pastor Denis Gerasimov Date: October 4, 2026

What does a worthy walk look like? What does a life that pleases the Lord look like? In this exposition of Ephesians 4:2-3 pastor Jamie outlines five characteristics of a worthy walk.

We discuss the various implications of Paul's phrase, "a spirit of adoption as sons," which causes believers to speak to God using "Abba Father." This is contrasted with a spirit of slavery. Slavery to sin describes how everyone is born "in Adam." The implications involve the fact that no one comes into the world as "in Christ" by natural generation. Thus, all are in sin and are slaves to sin unti...

After Paul proclaims Justification by Faith Alone in Christ Alone and its guarantee unto glorification in Romans 1-5, he parenthetically deals with the questions of Sanctification that will likely be asked. "If I am justified by Christ's works alone by grace that is greater than my sin, why do I care about sin at all now?" "If Christ has fulfilled the Law of God in my place, why do I care about th...

In this section of Genesis, the concept of clean and unclean animals is first introduced. God makes a distinction to expose our corruption and His redemption.

Continuing his sermon series on Christ's emotional life, Pastor Holland examines the perfect emotional balance of Jesus Christ, arguing that He consistently experienced the right emotions at the right time and to the proper degree. By analyzing passages such as Mark 1, John 11, and Mark 10, he demonstrates how Christ simultaneously expressed deep compassion and holy indignation, challenging the no...
