Scripture Reading OT Judges 2:10 Scripture Reading NT Ephesians 6

The World's love is like "hollywood love", fleshly, temporal, fake, counterfeit, unrealistic, unholy, unheavenly, ungodly, and it ends! God's Love, by contrast, is radically opposite; it is endless Eternal Spiritual Love. It is Love Personified; Jesus Christ. Thus, Christ's Love, is Heavenly, Truth, Pure, Realistic, Holy, Spiritual, and 100% LOVE! In The Crown-piece of Scripture, The Song of Solom...

This sermon concludes a study of 1 John by examining the five certainties that validate a believer's faith and provide assurance of eternal life.

God severely reproves wicked king A-haz-iah by showing him Who truly has all Power, Authority and Might. This is the Forty Seventh Sermon in the series The Kingdom Divided; an exposition on First Book of the Kings.

This sermon examines the warning in 1 Timothy 4 regarding false teachings that arise in the last days, specifically focusing on the prohibition of marriage and the mandated abstinence from foods. The message argues that such doctrines are demonic in origin because they contradict God's declaration that all creation is good and to be received with thanksgiving. By citing historical examples like th...

The sermon emphasizes the urgent need for believers to give earnest heed to the gospel message to prevent spiritual backsliding or apostasy. It argues that the book of Hebrews serves as a warning to Jewish Christians who were tempted to return to the Old Covenant, highlighting that Christ's divinity and superior status over angels make His message the ultimate authority. The speaker distinguishes...

The central theme is the security of the believer, derived from the past act of new birth through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which provides a lively hope. The text highlights the present reality of an incorruptible, undef...

When the Lord Jesus Christ says "in me" (John 15:2-7) six times in seven verses, does He mean a believer, or a man who only looked like one? Read verse 6 and ask who gathers the withered branch, and where they take him. Then ask whether "the fire" (John 15:6) is some lesser burning, or the same fire the Lord Jesus Christ names in every gospel. "If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branc...

This sermon traces the trajectory of Solomon's reign in 1 Kings, illustrating how righteousness exalts a nation while sin leads to its downfall. It highlights Solomon's initial wisdom and the prosperity of his kingdom as a foreshadowing of Christ's future millennial reign, where peace and knowledge of the Lord will fill the earth. The message contrasts Solomon's early devotion with his later apost...

This sermon explores the structure of the Epistle of Jude, identifying it as a 'battlefield letter' designed to equip believers to contend for the faith. The teaching highlights the chiastic structure of the book, which bookends the central theme of apostasy with the assurance of the Christian's salvation. Drawing parallels to military preparation, the message emphasizes that believers are sanctif...

This devotional addresses the theological question of whether a believer can lose their salvation by examining Hebrews 6:1-8. It distinguishes between true saving faith, which creates an unbreakable union with Christ, and mere profession of faith, which can be lost. Using the analogy of a wedding band versus a body part, the message clarifies that while genuine believers are secure in God's covena...

Jesus warned His disciples that following Him would not exempt them from suffering. They would face persecution, hatred, betrayal, deception, and increasing lawlessness. Yet in the midst of those sobering realities, Christ gave His people a promise: "The one who endures to the end will be saved." In Matthew 24:9–14, Jesus describes the opposition His followers will face while also pointing to the...

Judges 17 is significant because it portrays Israel's spiritual decline when God's people reject His authority and create their own standards for worship and morality. Micah steals money from his mother, returns it, and then uses it to make an idol, establishing a private shrine and even appointing his own priest. Although Micah claims to worship the LORD, his actions demonstrate a mixture of bibl...

There will be no humans in Heaven. There will only be, changed,Transformed, and Renewed humans; there! Gen. 6:6 condemns all of our old human nature. Because of our sin, our natural deadness, and our utter corruption; we must be changed, Made NEW by The Holy Spirit, Born Again, into a New Creature; a Transformed human Creature, in order to enter Heaven! All humans, who retain their old human natur...

What does it mean to abide in the Lord Jesus Christ? Read verse 3 and ask what made the eleven clean, and then ask whether a man abides in Him while His words sit closed on the shelf. Ask, too, whether the Lord Jesus Christ tells a branch what fruit to produce, or only where it must stay. "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more ca...

This sermon examines the warning in 1 Timothy 4:1 regarding the departure from the faith in the latter times, identifying this apostasy as a specific and already clearly identified threat, an internal threat within the church rather than an unknown or knowable future event. The message argues that this danger manifests through unfaithfulness, characterized by seducing spirits and doctrines of devi...

In "Hosea: A Book of Reversals Part 2," Charles Sebold completes his overview of Hosea with chapters 8-14, tracing how Israel's spiritual adultery ripens into judgment and how God's covenant love overturns it. Having rejected God's king and worshiped the calf of Samaria, Israel sows the wind and reaps the whirlwind: paying tribute to foreign lovers, returning to "Egypt" in an Exodus reversed, eati...

It connects current societal and legislative trends in the United Kingdom to the moral and spiritual decline described by Paul, comparing the era to...
