Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Genesis 3:1 Satan is a liar and a murderer; he wants to bring death to our happiness, joy, and purity, and he accomplishes this through lies. He wants to destroy us, and he begins by deceiving us. Genesis 3:1 says, “Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field…” Satan cleverly crafts subtle lies about the biggest truths. In the Garden of Eden, he t...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Ephesians 4:27 Ephesians 4:30 says, “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” It is unthinkable that a child of God could give a place in his life to the devil and grieve the Holy Spirit of God. However, there are many of us caught in Satan’s strongholds, and we cannot get out. There are three steps to break Sa...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Mark 1:21-28 Whether we realize it or not, there is a demonic world we cannot avoid. It is real, and we cannot be uninformed or uninterested. We do not fight against flesh and blood, but against spiritual wickedness. We must be aware of the warfare in order to win the battle. The Enemy comes against us in three basic ways: Oppression. The devil knows how to haras...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Isaiah 5:20 Under the clever guise of “choice,” abortion is not only legal, but also societally acceptable in America. Adrian Rogers reminds us of three sure things in regards to choice: “You are free to choose. You are not free not to choose and you are not free to choose the consequences of your choice.” Ultimately, to say you are “pro-choice” means you are “pr...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: 1 Timothy 6:20 Christians believe in special creation, the fact that God created man in His own image, as evident in the Book of Genesis. However, there is another school of thought that contradicts this belief: the theory of Evolution. It is the theory that we are simply creatures of accident; that men have evolved from a speck of protoplasm and green algae, fir...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: 2 Samuel 11 Children of God are just as capable of sinning as they were before they were saved. However, there is a much greater cost to their sin than before. King David was a man above every other man—none more noble, gifted, or humble than David; yet he fell into a deep, dark sin. David committed the sin of adultery with a married woman, and she conceived his...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Acts 19:21-32 If you take a stand for the truth, you are not always going to be popular. We see an example of this in Acts 19, when Paul visits Ephesus and sees that they are engaging in wicked ways of making money. The most vital nerve in the human body is the one that runs from the heart to the wealth, and what Paul does in Ephesus is put his finger directly on...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Genesis 10-11 There is coming a kingdom of Christ, as well as a kingdom of Satan. These two kingdoms have been at war since the Book of Genesis, and we are in the middle of it. If we want to recognize Satan’s kingdom to come and know how it will ultimately face its gruesome demise, we must look at one which was already strategically defeated. In Genesis 10-11, we...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Genesis 1:26 In simplest terms, the belief behind the Animal Rights Movement is that there is no essential, intrinsic, or basic difference between man and animal. But God’s Word says otherwise. According to the Book of Genesis, both man and animal were created by God separately, and neither evolved from the other. Though there are similarities, there is a stark c...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Daniel 9:24-27 It is sometimes difficult to wrap our minds around the blueprints of God’s plan for the world. That is because we approach them from our individual “worlds.” However, God’s Word tells us that Israel is the ultimate epicenter of God’s covenant with His people. Israel is the spiritual center of the world. We often refer to it as the “Holy Land,” beca...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Acts 10:34-48 Jesus Christ is a historical fact. When combing through history, secular historians have proven His existence over and over again. There is no disproving that there walked upon this earth a man known as Jesus Christ. But if He is only a man, then by account of what He said throughout His ministry on earth—that He is the Son of God—He is a liar, a lu...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Genesis 3:1-6 “When a man ceases to believe in God, he doesn’t believe in nothing; he believes in anything,” observed writer G. K. Chesterton. New Age-ism is a melting pot of Eastern philosophy. It’s a cosmic sponge that absorbs all religions, cultures, and governments together. It’s not a new thought at all; it’s simply an age-old heresy repurposed for the moder...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Genesis 13:10-19:29 Pastor, author, and teacher Adrian Rogers said, “We hear a lot about the separation of church and state; we need to hear more about the separation of church and world.” Separation from the world is the first duty of any believer in Jesus. If you are a child of God, you’re going to find yourself in conflict with this world. When we say “world,”...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: 2 Timothy 3:1 These are dark days in which we live. 2 Timothy 3:1 calls them “perilous times.” But as we wait for Jesus’s return to this world, we need to learn how to prepare ourselves not only to survive, but to thrive and be victorious. And to be prepared, we first need to recognize what’s happening around us. 2 Timothy 3:2 tells us, “For men shall be lovers o...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Revelation 1:3 Eternity is only a heartbeat away; at any moment Jesus may return, as Revelation 1:3 warns, “...the time is near.” When Jesus came to this earth the first time, He came with His glory veiled; when He returns, His glory will be unveiled, and we will truly see Him. The Book of Revelation gives insight regarding the soon coming of our Lord, Jesus Chri...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: John 4:23-24 Adrian Rogers says, “Christianity is not a religion; it is a vital relationship with God through Christ. It’ll be a great day in America when people stop enduring religion and start enjoying salvation.” We were created to worship God; it is life’s greatest privilege and highest duty to praise Him. In order to fully enjoy our salvation, we must first...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Exodus 33:1-4 In Exodus 33, God shined His glory upon the prophet Moses’ face; yet, Moses lost the glow over time. As Christians, we are temples of God; the Lord lives and dwells in us. But many of us are not aware of the presence of God in our lives and lose our glow. This passage reveals how to restore the glow, by practicing the presence of God. First, there m...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Malachi 1:6-14 Our highest privilege as Christians is to know and enjoy God’s presence in a personal and exciting way. But what happens when we find ourselves in a spiritual drought? Malachi 1:6-14 reveals three key ways to keep the wonder in our worship and a fire in our faith. First, we must recognize the nature of God, as Father and as Master: “'A son honors h...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Exodus 33:1-3 Our purpose is to know God intimately and to enjoy Him personally; we need nothing more and should settle for nothing else. We must learn how to enjoy the presence of God, and even more importantly, how to stay in it. In Exodus 33, Moses has interceded for the nation of Israel. In response, God promises His protection and provision, but not His pres...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Matthew 5:10 Matthew 5:10 prepares us for persecution as it reveals, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.” According to Scripture, becoming a genuine Christian means becoming the butt of the world’s jokes. It means being ostracized socially and considered inappropriate to society. But no matter what h...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Matthew 5:9 Matthew 5:9 says, "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” Where do wars come from? James 4 claims that men wage war against one another due to the war within ourselves. Furthermore, this inner war is proof of war with God. People are not at peace within themselves; this is why they cannot be at peace with anyone el...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Matthew 5:8 Matthew 5:8 says, "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” It seems every institution nowadays is touched by scandal and problems, and underneath it all is an integrity crisis. This is why it is crucial that we are men and women of integrity, and we dare not leave home without it. The definition of the word “integrity” has to do more w...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Matthew 5:7 Matthew 5:7 says, "Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy." Mercy is not just softness or mere sentiment; it is compassion in action. And the magnificence of mercy is that those who have received it will show it. Mercy is a godly characteristic, one that resides in the hearts and minds of those who have accepted salvation from Jesus Chr...

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Matthew 5:6 The word “blessed” means to be satisfied. In His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus revealed the secret of satisfaction. Matthew 5:6 says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” Many of us think of righteousness as something to do. But in the Bible, righteousness is wrapped up in a person, and His name is Jesus....

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Matthew 5:5 Matthew 5:5 says, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” In His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus revealed that it is not the mighty men who are blessed; it is the mighty meek. Meekness is not weakness. Jesus was meek, yet He was a strong man. To be meek means to be yielded, to have a compliant spirit. Meekness is strength under control. W...
