This sermon explores the doctrine of effectual calling within the Reformed theological framework, arguing that regeneration precedes faith rather than the reverse. It emphasizes that salvation is entirely the work of the Triune God, where the Holy Spirit applies the benefits of Christ's mediation to the elect through the Word.

What if the greatest threat to a spiritual awakening isn't secular hostility, but a manufactured fake? Between 1792 and 1838, America witnessed a dramatic tug-of-war for the soul of revival—shifting from the quiet, sovereign, and deeply doctrinal outpourings in New England towns like Somers and Canton to the high-pressure, emotionally charged "New Measures" of the western frontier and Charles Finn...

The sermon explores the eschatological timeline presented in Daniel 9, specifically focusing on the 70th week of Daniel's prophecy and its relationship to the current church age. It argues that the 70th week, often associated with the seven years of tribulation, is currently suspended because the Holy Spirit, identified as the restrainer, is still calling out the bride of Christ. The message empha...

The sermon presents a five-point framework for maintaining a solid grip on the Christian life, using the analogy of holding an object with all five fingers. It begins by emphasizing the theological significance of the blood of Jesus, which not only cleanses sin but also justifies believers as righteous before God, countering the accusations of Satan. The second point focuses on the necessity of li...

The sermon explores the pivotal moment in Acts 11 where the gospel expands from a Jewish context to the Gentile world, focusing on the dispersion of believers and the establishment of the church in Antioch. It examines the theological controversy surrounding the term 'Hellenists,' arguing that the context implies the initial evangelization of Gentiles rather than just Greek-speaking Jews. The teac...

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)

This sermon explores Psalm 43 as a prayer for vindication and guidance, situating David's distress within the context of exile and opposition from an ungodly nation. The central message emphasizes that while believers may feel forsaken or rejected by God during times of suffering, this perception contradicts the truth of God's sovereign care and the ultimate vindication found in Christ. The text c...

Throughout the Old Testament we are introduced to a figure called - The Angel of Yahweh. Who is this? And what are we meant to learn from mysterious figure?

This sermon addresses the need for the church to recover its clarity, passion, and priority regarding biblical missions. The speaker defines missions as taking the gospel across boundaries to make disciples and plant indigenous churches, arguing that the primacy of evangelism supersedes the goal of church planting alone.

I. FALSE FAITH EXPOSED. (3:2) False faith: (a.) Is outward and man-centered. (b.) Is ritualistic and ceremonial. (c.) Is faith plus works. II. TRUE FAITH EXPOUNDED. (3:3) True faith is realized by: (a.) Spirit enabled worship. (b.) Christ-centered passion. (c.) Renounce human ability.

Do you have freedom to worship in the spirit? Or are you stuck in a rut.

The devotional centers on the spiritual discipline of the 'night watch' in prayer, illustrating how God often awakens believers in the stillness of night to intercede for others in need, even when they are unaware of the urgency. Drawing from personal experiences and biblical insight, it emphasizes that prayer is not confined to formal times or postures, but can be a spontaneous, Spirit-led respon...

Remember Him The message centers on God's call to remember His works and His ways so that we may know and trust His righteousness. Using Balaam and Balak in Numbers alongside Micah 6, it shows that although Balak hired Balaam to curse Israel, God would not allow His people to be cursed and instead turned the intended curse into a blessing. The account reminds believers that no enemy can overturn w...

Addressing claims about fractured souls, spiritual warfare practices, and his defense of Katherine Krick, she explains why experiences, crowds, and claimed miracles must be tested by Scripture. This episode calls Christians to biblical discernment, prayerful dependence on God, and confidence in Chris...

This sermon explores the biblical symbolism of fire as a manifestation of God's presence, glory, and judgment, drawing from Leviticus and 1 Kings. It argues that believers are called to be 'on fire for God,' a state of spiritual zeal and excitement that reflects the Holy Spirit's work within them. The preacher identifies several reasons for spiritual lukewarmness, including past burnout, a lack of...

God's Word makes us wise for salvation through faith in Christ and equips us for godliness and faithful obedience. Dave Jenkins explains the sufficiency of Scripture, how Christians make wise decisions, and why impressions and claims such as "God told me" cannot carry divine authority. He also examines the Holy Spirit's work through Scripture, God's promises in suffering, and the importance of fai...

This sermon examines the pivotal encounter between Peter and Cornelius in Acts 10, highlighting the theological transition from a Jewish-centric church to the inclusion of Gentiles.

The speaker argues that...

This sermon examines the final reconciliation between Joseph and his brothers in Genesis 50, highlighting the transition from their fear of retribution to genuine repentance and forgiveness. The preacher contrasts mere remorse with true repentance, illustrating how the Holy Spirit convicts sinners to seek mercy rather than wallowing in guilt. By analyzing the brothers' plea and Joseph's response,...

In this lecture, Jonathan Arnold teaches that the canon of Scripture consists of books inspired by God and providentially preserved, whose authority the church recognises rather than confers. The Protestant canon of sixty-six books reflects this principle, upheld through the early church and Reformation. Scripture's authority rests upon its Divine origin, internal harmony, spiritual power, and the...

The sermon calls for a return to the 'old paths' of fervent prayer, personal holiness, and genuine conversion, contrasting the superficiality of modern religious practices with the depth of historical revivals. It argues that true revival is not merely an increase in numbers or emotional excitement, but a profound transformation of character evidenced by a life of devotion and separation from worl...
