Affliction on SermonAudio

Sunday School Hour: studying the John Owen book, Rules for Walking in Fellowship, or The Duties of Christian Fellowship. The current section covers our obligations toward other church members: "Praying for the afflicted."

Why does God deliberately choose imperfect and unqualified individuals to serve as His ambassadors? Have you heard how diversely flawed the backgrounds of the twelve apostles were? You do realize that even we, the witnesses today, were assigned this ambassadorship, while are also, a total mess? From the start, how can we fail to recognize the immense privilege Christ has bestowed upon us, to serve...

The sermon identifies thanksgiving as the defining characteristic of an extraordinary Christian life, urging believers to cultivate a consistent attitude of gratitude in all circumstances. Drawing from Ephesians 5:20 and 1 Thessalonians 5:18, the message emphasizes that giving thanks is God's will and serves as a spiritual superpower that distinguishes faithful believers from the world. Through th...

All of us, at one time or another, have experienced a devastating event. It might be the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, or a physical or emotional condition that seems so overwhelming that we do not know where to turn for comfort. This week, as we prepare to worship together as the body of Christ, the Apostle Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 1:1-7 that in our suffering we are co...

The sermon explores Psalm 57, using the example of David hiding from King Saul to illustrate how believers can maintain steadfast faith during times of severe affliction. By seeking refuge in God's sovereign protection rather than relying on personal efforts, individuals find comfort and confidence even when circumstances appear hopeless. The preacher emphasizes that difficult seasons often serve...

What grounds are hearts when the kingdoms and the things we depend on in this world are passing away? Our hope is this we are already being held by iChrist. His finished work has made us right with God. We belong to the living king. And his spirit is changing and preparing us for a kingdom that can never be shaken.

This sermon explores the theological significance of suffering and endurance for believers, drawing primarily from 2 Thessalonians 1. It emphasizes that patience and faith during persecution serve as evident tokens of God's righteous judgment and grace. Brother Brenson argues that trials reveal and refine the hearts of Christians, stripping away worldly dependencies to root identity solely in Chri...

In this sermon, Pastor Linehan considers the joyful refining outcome of trials for the believer.

We often compare our trials to other people's situations and miss the mark that it's the glory of heaven, and it's Maker that we strive to and compare our afflictions to.

In this sermon from Psalm 34, Pastor Rockhill draws the congregation to the goodness of the Lord as experienced by David when he fled from Saul and feigned madness before the Philistine king. Though God's people today do not face David's exact trials, Pastor Rockhill reminds them that every believer wages spiritual warfare against sin, Satan, and temptation, and so may still identify with the psal...

The sermon distinguishes between a vain religion, characterized by mere hearing and unbridled speech, and a pure religion defined by active obedience and moral purity. It emphasizes that true faith is demonstrated through doing the word, visiting the afflicted, and keeping oneself unspotted from the world, rather than through empty ritual or self-deception. The message warns against the danger of...

The sermon explores the theological necessity of weakness and affliction as divine tools to prevent pride and foster humility in believers. Drawing primarily from 2 Corinthians 12, it contrasts the boasting of false teachers in spiritual revelations with Paul's reliance on God's sufficient grace amidst his thorn in the flesh. The preacher illustrates this principle through the biblical examples of...
