Warren Wiersbe Sermons

Eternal life is the greatest gift ever offered to man. Every single person ever born is going to live forever, even after their time on Earth is over. The question is where will they end up. Of course, heaven is the most desired location in the afterlife, and all we have to do to get there is accept a gift bought and paid for by Jesus. This message was preached when Dr. Wiersbe was the Sr. Pastor...

In the United States, we experience liberty today because someone died. As Christians, we also experience freedom from death because Jesus died for us. At Passover, the Israelites were protected from death by the blood of a lamb. Christians are protected by the blood of Jesus. Spiritually, we were born into death, bondage, and decay. But the blood of the Lamb changes everything. Is Jesus Christ  a...

Joshua, leading the Israelites from the wilderness into Canaan, foreshadows Jesus and the salvation He offers to the world. Joshua conquered his enemies and claimed his inheritance for Israel. Like him, we, through Christ, can conquer the enemy of death and claim our riches that God has provided for those who believe in Jesus. This message was preached on June 29, 1975 when Dr. Wiersbe was the Sen...

God provides for our every need. Like the Israelites in the desert, God sent us manna in the form of Christ to satisfy our hunger. But this Bread of Life satisfies more than an earthly desire—it fills our spiritual need. Nothing else can satisfy our spiritual hunger. This message was preached on June 22, 1975 when Dr. Wiersbe was the Senior Pastor of The Moody Church in Chicago, IL.

What is the difference between the unsaved and Christians? Christians realize the danger they’re in and run to God for refuge. In the Old Testament, cities of refuge were designated for people to flee to. Today, Christians have only to flee to Jesus as their city of refuge—a place of safety where God gives us righteousness, a shoulder to bear our burden, fellowship, blessing, and a new citizenship...

Jesus explained to Nicodemus the story of the bronze serpent Moses made in the wilderness. By looking at the bronze serpent, the people lived. In the same way, those who look to the Savior are saved. This message was preached by Warren Wiersbe at The Moody Church on June 1, 1975, while Dr. Wiersbe was the Senior Pastor.

The book of Isaiah is like a mini-Bible with 39 chapters of judgment and 27 chapters of salvation.   At the heart of it is Isaiah 53 where we see the voluntary suffering of an innocent man for another person’s sin. Jesus suffered to pay the price for our sin. By His suffering, we were healed—and that’s unbelievable. It is the only way our sins can be forgiven, and the only way God’s demand for jus...

This message was prea...
