Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Romans 1:24 Scripture identifies marriage as the supreme commitment we make on this earth. Yet in a nation whose new virtue is called “tolerance”, our sense of moral responsibility has been lost. Sexual immorality is socially acceptable, despite the clear instruction in God’s Word to remain pure. It seems our nation is on the last step on the way down, toward the...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Romans 1:18-31 In Romans 1:18-31, the Apostle Paul reveals that this fallen world is without excuse: “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness…” (Romans 1:18). God is a God of love, but He is also righteous; He is the Chief Judge, holy in His wrath. This passage reve...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Romans 1:14-16 In Romans 1, the Apostle Paul describes the heart and mind of someone totally abandoned to the Gospel in three “I am” statements. I am a debtor. Paul said, “I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise” (Romans 1:14). Paul was faithful to the obligations of the Gospel. He first recognized his debt to Jesus Christ, and...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Romans 1:1 There has been no book that has ever influenced or impacted the world like the book of Romans. Some of the fathers of our faith and greatest minds have called it the Constitution of Christianity.

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Hebrews 4:12 Adrian Rogers says, “The Bible is not like any other book: it breathes, sings, and weeps; it is alive in the power that it possesses.” Whether penned by the Apostles, spoken by the mouth of Jesus, or recorded on scrolls by the Old Testament prophets, God calls these inspired utterances the Word of God. The Word of God is absolute perfection; though t...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Proverbs 23:23 In this day, it is not values that we desperately need, but virtue. We must be able to differentiate truth and fact: we acquire facts but learn truth. Facts deal with knowledge, and knowledge can double, but truth never changes and is settled for eternity. We must make a habit of treasuring truth. Proverbs 23:23 says, “Buy the truth, and do not sel...

Sermon Overview Scripture Reference: Joshua 24:11-16 God’s plan for us is not just to have eternal life after death, but to have abundant life, here and now. He has given us daily victory; but it is our responsibility to walk in it.

Sermon Overview Scripture Reference: Luke 2 Luke 2:11 says, “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Who is this child? He is “Christ the Lord.” Jesus Christ is called “Lord” 747 times in the New Testament alone! The question is not if He is Lord…it is if you will submit to His unquestioned lordship. The confession of His lordship secures our salvation...

Sermon Overview Scripture Reference: Matthew 1:20-23 Matthew 1:21-23 says, “She (Mary) shall bring forth a Son, and thou shalt call His name Jesus; for He shall save His people from their sins.’ Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, ‘Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a Son, and they shall call His name Imman...

Sermon Overview Scripture Reference: Luke 2:25-35 Luke 2:25 tells the story of a man named Simeon, a just man, right with God. He was saved, surrendered, spiritual, and sensitive to the Holy Spirit. Through his faith, it was revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Christ. And ultimately, Simeon was greatly anticipating the coming of Jesus Christ into...

Sermon Overview Scripture Reference: Luke 1:30-38; 2:8-14 The Gospel of Luke says that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a virgin when she gave birth to the Son of God. The world laughs at this idea and mocks it as if it were a myth. Even worse, some proclaiming Christians doubt the Virgin Birth; some don’t believe it at all. But the truth is, there is no hope of salvation apart from the Virgin Birth...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: 1 Corinthians 2:1-14 The way to be blessed is to obey God, which requires our trust in Him; and to trust Him is to love Him, and in order to love Him, we must know Him. 1 Corinthians 2:1-14 shows us how to know God through the Bible. “And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, th...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Proverbs 3:5-10 God has not engineered us for failure; rather He has programmed us for success. God has cultivated wonderful plans for our lives. But tragically, few people know the will of God, much less do the will of God for their lives. As children of God, we have been given a wonderful promise of guidance. God has individual instructions for each of us on ho...

Sermon Overview Scripture Reference: Joshua 1:1-2 Victory is God’s gift to every child; He delights in His children’s prosperity. However, we must make certain that we are pursuing success God's way. In the Book of Joshua, Canaan represented victory. This historical narrative reveals how to come out of the wilderness and into the promised land. First, we must visualize our victory. Canaan represen...

Sermon Overview Scripture Reference: Ecclesiastes 11 So many of us are living just to work and working just to live, drawing our breaths and drawing our salaries. But God has a plan for us, and it includes prosperity. While that does not necessarily mean many riches, it does mean financial responsibility and blessing. The eight principles of prosperity, God’s way, are revealed in Ecclesiastes 11....

Sermon Overview Scripture Reference: Malachi 3:7-12 God pays attention to our stewardship—how we obtain, save, invest, spend, and give away our money. Satan, who is also very interested, would love to keep us in financial bondage. Financial bondage is not just debt or poverty. If money increases our worries, or if we have plenty in the bank, but no treasure in Heaven, we are in financial bondage....

Sermon Overview Scripture Reference: James 5:1-3 Stewardship is the area of life that tells how men make money and, more importantly, how God makes men. Adrian Rogers says, “A man’s character, religion and spirituality may be measured by his attitude toward money more than anything else.” Money is a necessary means of exchange; the Bible warns us that though money is not sinful or evil in itself,...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 In simplest terms, the Gospel is the Good News of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The root of the Gospel is found in 1 Corinthians 15:3: “...that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures…” Man’s problem is not what he lacks; it is what he has, which is a sin problem. Sin brings about spiritual debt, defilement...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Ephesians 5:1 Satan wages war against the family because the family is all we have left of the Garden of Eden. We are called to battle—to guard our hearts and protect our homes. We’re not wrestling against flesh and blood. We’re wrestling against principalities and powers of darkness. In preparing for the battle, we must first remember our adversary. Satan is a d...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Psalm 127 Psalm 127 is a psalm for the home. Verses 1-2 say, “Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it. Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows for he giveth his beloved sleep.” The devil is a thief, murderer and destroyer… and he ste...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: John 4:24 The greatest commandment is to love God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strength. (See Mark 12:29-30.) Keeping this commandment is how we find our blessing and give God glory; it is our ultimate priority, supreme duty, and maximum privilege. John 4:24 says, “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” In context, J...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Psalm 119:9-16 Scripture reveals there is only one way to control your thought life, and that is to guard your heart. Psalm 119: 9-16 says, Hebrews 11:24-27 says: “By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a seas...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Hebrews 11:24 There is a spiritual battle for the minds of our children. They are being systematically seduced by the enemy, who wants to destroy our homes. The problem is too pervasive and persuasive to rely on political action. The devil has introduced various substitutes for fixed truth to society. It’s crucial, now more than ever, to instill the truth of the...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Genesis 50:22-26 The fear of death keeps people in bondage. Yet, a child of God can smile at death. That’s what Joseph did; in Genesis 50, we see Joseph practicing God’s presence in his hour of death. If we want to have the assurance that Joseph had, we must first remember the unbreakable promises of God. We will not have peace in the hour of death unless we have...
