Standing in God's Counsel

In this sermon, the persistent issue of people being misled by false prophets is explored, drawing parallels to ancient Israel.

This message emphasizes the stark contrast between God's truth and human fables. It highlights that the word of God, like wheat, will endure, while deceptive words, like chaff, will perish.

Philippians 2:19-30

In this sermon, the concept of faithful ministers is explored through the examples of Timothy, Paul, and Epaphroditus from the book of Philippians.

God's Admonition Towards Us

This message explores the importance of not loving the world or the things within it, as commanded in 1 John 2:15-17.

It discusses the concept of repentance as a deep change of mind leading to a fundamental shift in direction, turning away from sin and towards God. The message warns against being double-minded, emphasizing that a divided loyalty between God and worldly pleasures leads to instability and a lack of genuine discipleship.

The Works of the Flesh Part 2

Further categories discussed include sins of jealousy and violence like envying's and murders, and sins of excess or self-indulgence such as drunkenness and revellings.

God's Promise is Certain

In this sermon, the central theme is the certainty of God's promise, particularly regarding impending judgment. Despite perceived delays, the message emphasizes that these are not cancellations of divine judgment but rather expressions of God's patience and mercy, offering humanity an opportunity for repentance. The sermon warns against the complacency of scoffers who dismiss these warnings, drawing parallels to the days of Noah when people disregarded the impending flood until it was too late. The message highlights that God's desire is for all to come to repentance, not for any to perish, and His prolonged patience serves as a gracious invitation. However, it is also made clear that this patience has a limit. The day of the Lord will come unexpectedly, like a thief in the night, and all will be held accountable for their deeds. This divine delay is a precious window of opportunity, urging listeners to seriously consider their spiritual state before time runs out. Ultimately, the sermon calls for immediate action, stressing that salvation is found in believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. It contrasts the temporary nature of earthly life with the eternal consequences of neglecting God's call. The message serves as a powerful reminder that God's promises, both of judgment for the unrepentant and eternal life for believers, are steadfast and will be fulfilled.
