Rebellion on SermonAudio

At the end of this podcast is the answer to the question: What would John Owen say to the Theocast podcast, "Why I left Lordship" salvation." For John Owen, severing the Lordship of Christ from His saving work is a theological impossibility because saving faith receives the undivided Person of the God-Man, who simultaneously executes the offices of Prophet, Priest, and King. In Christologia and Me...

This sermon explores Psalm 2 as a Messianic psalm that reveals the conflict between the nations' rebellion and God's sovereign response. The message identifies the central tension as the world's futile plotting against the Lord and His anointed, contrasted with the Father's laughter and the installation of Christ as the eternal King on Zion. It affirms the doctrine of Christ's eternal sonship, exp...

Pastor Brian's sermon examines the parable of the wedding feast to illustrate the gravity of human choice and the necessity of responding to God's invitation with appropriate reverence. The central argument posits that while God extends salvation to all, including the 'bad and good,' individuals must accept the righteousness provided by Jesus Christ, symbolized by the wedding garment, rather than...

'holy disposition,' what is this? We need to understand that this is not a natural disposition. Our disposition, as we have already seen, is that of rebellion against God both in our flesh and in our minds. Eph. 2 clearly tells us that we are by nature, that which is natural to us, children of wrath. Our confession tells us that regeneration consists in giving a holy disposition. God must give us...

Unfinished business. God's prophet must deal with the rebellion of the people laid out in chapter 8. Along with this, Samuel demonstrates the continuing nature of the prophetic office despite the changes involved in the setting up of the kingship under the old covenant. This sets forth the prophetic program as long as the covenant continues. God has provided a viceregent for Israel without taking...

This sermon explores Psalm 2 as a divine proclamation of the futility of human rebellion against God's appointed King. It identifies Jesus Christ as the sole fulfillment of the psalm's prophecies, emphasizing his eternal sonship, universal dominion, and the victory achieved through his resurrection.

With Psalm 8:1–9; Hebrews 1:1–14; Revelation 12:7–12, and with Article 12 of the Belgic Confession, we learn God created out of nothing the heavens and earth and all creatures with the purpose of glorifying Himself. Pastor Martijn Heijboer preaches the Earth in service of its Creator, angels in service of their Creator, and demons in rebellion against their Creator.

In this Psalm 1 sermon, Pastor Richard Caldwell preaches The Way of Prosperity & The Way That Perishes Pt. 2 on the righteous and the wicked. The first Psalm serves as a gateway to the Psalter by dividing all of humanity into two distinct categories. God recognizes people by their manner of living, comparing the fruit of a righteous person to a tree firmly planted by streams of water. True believe...

The sermon examines the fourth woe in Isaiah, focusing on Judah's rebellion in seeking political alliances with Egypt rather than relying on God. It contrasts the futility of human schemes and the impending judgment described as a sudden collapse with the divine promise that salvation is found in repentance, rest, and quiet trust. The message highlights the historical context of King Ahaz and the...

Why did Jesus choose the region of Caesarea Philippi, near Mount Hermon and its pagan sanctuaries, to ask His disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" Join Pastor Brandon Holthaus as we examine Peter's confession of Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of the living God, and Christ's declaration: "I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." Explore the region's connections...

Has modern Christianity created a version of God who never gets angry with His own children? In an age when biblical masculinity, fatherly authority, and accountability are increasingly under attack, even our understanding of God's character has been distorted. Modern psychology and feminism have helped undermine the biblical role of fathers, while popular religious teaching often portrays God as...

Pastor Patrick Harrison Persistent Rebellion in the Face of Judgment Amos 4:6-11

This sermon explores the pastoral letter Jeremiah sends to the exiles in Babylon, emphasizing that their displacement is the sovereign hand of God rather than mere historical accident. The central instruction is to settle into their circumstances by building homes, planting gardens, and seeking the welfare of the Babylonian city, thereby rejecting rebellion and embracing a life of obedience in a h...

(AI Generated Summary) This sermon traces the biblical motif of God's people from the Old Testament covenants to the New Testament church, emphasizing that belonging to God is not determined by ethnicity or ancestry but by grace and faith in Jesus Christ. The exposition highlights the failure of human mediators like Moses, Joshua, and the judges to maintain a lasting relationship with a holy God d...

This sermon examines Jude 1:4, warning believers about false teachers who have infiltrated the church and pervert the grace of God into license for sin. The message distinguishes between genuine faith, which produces obedience and holiness, and antinomianism, which rejects Christ's lordship while claiming His salvation. By referencing historical examples of rebellion and the Battle of the Bulge, t...

Sunday Morning, Zechariah 2:5-13 A quick search of the Bible for verses that echo the invitation of the third night vision (Zech. 2:6-7), the call to come out from that place of exile and separation from the place of God's dwelling, turns up an extensive list. By my own count, and it is by no means exhaustive, the verses number in the scores. This is because the central theme of Divine mercy is th...

How did God's people end up in Babylon? Tracing the history behind Daniel's exile, this sermon shows how Israel's and Judah's rebellion brought the covenant judgments God had foretold. The rise and fall of empires reveal the certainty of God's Word in both judgment and mercy. As we look toward Christ, who bore the curse for sinners, we are called to heed God's warnings, trust His promises, and res...

Main Points 1. God judges rebellion with destruction and death. 2. God brings resurrection and life to those who repent and believe in Him. This sermon examines God's judgment against Israel's rebellion and idolatry in Hosea 13, contrasting the nation's former prominence with its spiritual decline and coming destruction. Despite God's faithful provision and repeated warnings, His people forgot Him...

This sermon defines dispensationalism not as a complex system of charts, but as a consistent hermeneutical approach rooted in the concept of stewardship. The speaker argues that believers are stewards of God's mysteries, a role historically held by Israel and now entrusted to the church, requiring a faithful management of divine revelation. By applying grammatical-historical interpretation consist...

We use the word Redeem frequently and almost certainly too casually… It is a word and concept that is worth the time that it take to absorb, for there is a sweep of grandeur we can only faintly grasp on the edges of our spirits holds wonders we can never comprehend, but there is much here which can be understood…
