First Baptist Church of Delphi Sermons

Jesus meets human need with compassion and sovereign provision—calling us to bring our needs and insufficiency to him in faith.

The fear of man leads to moral collapse, while the fear of God produces faithful witness—even unto death.

God’s Servant achieves salvation not through worldly triumph, but through obedient suffering that satisfies the justice of God and brings life to the many.

God has given us the Son of David as our great Deliverer from sin, leading us out of darkness into his grand dominion of peace.

Stop trusting in yourself, and trust in Immanuel—God with us in Jesus Christ.

When pressures rise and foes press in, we must cry out for God’s relief— to plead that sinners turn from sin and faithful ones find joy and peace.

When troubles rise and helpers cease, the Lord our Shield grants prayer-born peace, and by his sovereign, saving grace, sustains his saints in every place.

Jesus can be the least appreciated – and even rejected – in the place where he is best known, if unbelief is in the heart.

Jesus teaches us to be good students of the truths of the kingdom of heaven so that we may graciously share the treasures of the kingdom of heaven.

The wicked who reject King Jesus and his rule will, in the end, be separated from the righteous and suffer eternal conscious torment in hell.

Wisdom and folly are revealed not by what we possess, but by how we work, live, and handle what God provides.

The kingdom of God is so valuable that losing everything on earth, but getting the kingdom, is a joyful trade-off.

No matter how small or insignificant it seems in its progress, Christ's kingdom will succeed in encompassing this world.

Jesus’ followers are to be encouraged that, though evil will be found mixed into his kingdom for the present, it will be fully separated from his kingdom at the end of the age.

The fruitfulness of the “word about the kingdom” in someone's life depends on the kind of heart with which it is received.

Although different voices will speak to us during a time of personal and national crisis, believers must confidently take refuge only in the Lord.

Jesus spoke in parables to reveal the kingdom’s secrets to those with eyes to see and to hide them from those who refuse to hear the truth.

To be holy people, we must be focused on Christ's coming, obedient to the Father in all of life, and growing in our personal knowledge of God's holiness.

Jesus' parable teaches us the danger of mere 'moral reformation' without a true saving relationship with Jesus Christ.

When we see Jesus for who he is, we can either repent and receive his salvation, or we can reject him and be condemned to eternal judgment.

Our words reveal our spiritual status before God.

The kingdom of God has come in power through the Son of God by the Spirit of God, and each person must either receive Jesus as their king or reject him.

Jesus is the Spirit-filled Servant of the Lord who perfectly fulfills God’s plans and promises for salvation through judgment.

Jesus declares his superior authority as Lord of the Sabbath and demonstrates his merciful priority of love for sinners.
