Teaching on SermonAudio

In this lecture, Jonathan Arnold teaches that the canon of Scripture consists of books inspired by God and providentially preserved, whose authority the church recognises rather than confers. The Protestant canon of sixty-six books reflects this principle, upheld through the early church and Reformation. Scripture's authority rests upon its Divine origin, internal harmony, spiritual power, and the...

In this lecture Jonathan Arnold teaches that the New Testament text must be approached in light of Scripture's Divine inspiration and providential preservation. The Received Text, rooted largely in the Byzantine manuscript tradition and used in Reformation translations, is presented as a faithful witness preserved through the church's continual use. Modern critical texts are challenged for priorit...

This sermon calls the church to engage with courage in the mission of passing the faith to the next generation, as outlined in 2 Timothy 2:2. It emphasizes that this task involves not only proclaiming the gospel and teaching sound doctrine but also equipping and entrusting believers with ministry responsibilities. The message highlights that this work is a form of spiritual warfare, requiring a wa...

The Cost of Grace Jesus did not redeem us so we could keep our old lives—His grace rescues us, owns us, establishes us, and teaches us to live under His rule. The message centers on the truth that the gospel does not merely add Jesus to our lives—it brings us under His light, His rule, and His grace. Drawing from Balaam's prophecy in Numbers 24, Jesus is presented as both the Star who gives light...

The sermon examines Hebrews 7:11-17 to explain why the Levitical priesthood was insufficient for salvation, necessitating a new priest in the order of Melchizedek. It argues that the promise in Psalm 110 points to a Messiah who possesses an indestructible life, enabling him to serve as a priest forever. This eternal priesthood is contrasted with the temporary nature of the Aaronic line, highlighti...

Ecclesiastes 2:12-16

Scripture alone is the final infallible authority for Christian faith and life. Dave Jenkins explains the Reformation's doctrine of sola Scriptura and examines the Passion Translation as a case study in biblical authority. Through five biblical passages, Dave explores the difference between faithful translation and interpretive expansion. He also addresses claims of modern revelation, the sufficie...

The sermon examines the conversion of Saul in Acts 9, emphasizing that while the event was historically unique, the core of salvation remains the simple faith in Jesus Christ's death and resurrection. It argues against the notion that conversion requires a dramatic, experiential encounter, asserting instead that God's work is often invisible and instantaneous, removing the need for human effort or...

The sermon argues that the church can be recovered by embracing the Jewish roots of Scripture through five key practices: Jewish evangelism, understanding Jewish culture and context, recognizing Jewish prophetic expectations, maintaining the distinction between Israel and the church, and engaging with the Hebrew language. The speaker emphasizes that the gospel is to the Jew first, citing Romans 1:...

David stayed behind when it was time to go to battle, and his idleness opened the door to sin and devastation he never thought would happen. This message looks at the danger of neglecting our duty and reminds us that we can be busy with life while being spiritually lazy or idle with the work God has given us to do.

Humility eventually leads to exaltation. (Final in series)

What does Job teach us about ourselves when life suddenly falls apart? We begin examining and reconstructing seven lessons from Job about uncertainty, suffering, faith, and anguish.

In Mark 8:31-33, Jesus plainly teaches that the Son of Man must suffer, be rejected, and rise again, prompting Peter to rebuke Him. The central argument is that the Messiah's suffering was not an accident but a necessary, preordained act of God to satisfy divine justice and provide atonement for sin, contrasting the 'things of man' with the 'things of God.' The preacher highlights that Peter's obj...

Ecclesiastes 2:1-11

We tend to look at the Bible as 66 different books compiled together, but what if we learned to see it as one great story—the story of God's relationship with humanity? In The God of Story, novelist and biblical scholar Dr. Daniel Schwabauer unpacks five essential elements of story—theme, context, characterization, voice, and plot—to reveal the narrative principles woven throughout Scripture. Usin...

WALKING IN REVIVAL The message centers on what it means to walk in revival every day, emphasizing that Jesus does more than save sinners from judgment—He reaches us in our sin, removes us from the throne of our own lives, teaches us His ways, and sends us back into the world as glad-hearted reconcilers. Spiritual growth often comes through "victory by degrees," as God patiently reveals what needs...

Do We Teach Ourselves

It defines worship as a covenant renewal where the church engages in a dialogue with God, moving from the fear of the Old Covenant to the confidence of the New Covenant mediated by Jesus Christ. Pastor Parnell emphasizes that believers ar...
