Goodness on SermonAudio

Hebrews 10:1–4 reminds us that the sacrifices offered under the Old Testament law were only a shadow of the good things God had promised. The people had to offer sacrifices repeatedly, year after year, because the blood of animals could not completely take away their sins. These sacrifices reminded them of their sins, but they could not bring lasting forgiveness or completely cleanse their hearts....

This week, we took a brief pause from our current series as Elder Kyle Nickerson preached a sermon from Romans 8:22-29 entitled, "The Spirit of Intercession".

Do you ever feel like God is not answering? This sermon addresses the common spiritual struggle of feeling that God is not speaking or answering prayers by exploring five primary reasons for this perceived silence.

Theme: Since Christ has saved us to a new life our lives should reflect this good news in everything we do 1. By Knowing Who You Are 2. By Rejecting What You're Not 3. By Pursuing Your Identity in Christ

Our mission to bring the gospel to the ends of the earth has always involved affliction and persecution, but we don't usually think of that as a good thing. In 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 Paul tells us that we're ordinary jars of clay full of the extraordinary treasure of the gospel. It's definitely a mismatch, and our fragility shows it, but it's when our persecution brings out our weakness that God rev...

The word ignorant is often used to describe annoying people whose actions cause life to become less enjoyable. It could be an ignorant driver who cuts in front of us during our drive to work. It could be a politician who supports policies that do more harm than good. Or it could be someone who talks with confidence without really knowing what they are talking about. Ignorant people will always be...

Is Marriage a Scam? In a culture where marriage is increasingly questioned, redefined and sometimes dismissed altogether, what does Scripture actually say about it? In episode 8 of Insaka Season 3, we consider marriage from a biblical perspective. Marriage is not a human invention, but a good gift instituted by God for His glory and our good. Though affected by sin and marked by real challenges, G...

What is the law of God that must guide our good works as we live a life of gratitude toward God? Join Pastor Jason for Heidelberg Catechism Question #92.

The piece presents a stark theological assessment of human nature, asserting that God's testimony identifies every person as a sinner who is wholly evil, under condemnation, and fundamentally characterized by unbelief. It argues that this divine verdict is inescapable and that no amount of outward goodness can alter the status of a heart that does not love God or believe in His Son. The central me...

This sermon examines the counsel of Eliphaz in Job chapter 4, contrasting his logical, retributive worldview with the biblical truth that the righteous often suffer. The speaker highlights how Eliphaz's advice, while rooted in some biblical principles like sowing and reaping, fails to address the reality of innocent suffering and the mystery of God's sovereignty. By exploring the theological impli...

Hope and expectations are not the same. Expectations are often rooted in self-effort and merit, leading to disappointment and shame. Hope rests in God and in what He has promised, so it does not depend on everything going according to our plans. Paul could rejoice even in prison because his hope was not tied to comfort, success, or being treated fairly, but to Christ being magnified and the gospel...

King Jehoram was not a good king. He did evil in the sight of the Lord. The best that could be said about Him by the Spirit of God is that he wasn't as bad as his parents. It's not that he never did anything good. He took away the image of Baal that his father had set up. However, he never led Israel away from idolatry and back to worship of God alone. (Life of Elisha, Lesson 2, from 2 Kings 3)
