-
Have you ever paused to wonder why Jesus said that those who seek praise from others will “have their reward”? Could you be performing spiritual acts for applause instead of genuinely honoring God? This sermon dives into Matthew 6:1–8, challenging listeners to examine their motives—asking whether their deeds, prayers, and fasting are truly for God or merely for people’s praise.
-
Could the Feast of Trumpets be more than ancient ceremony—might it be a prophetic alarm for the end times? What if this sacred sound signals not celebration, but a warning that the abomination of desolation is near? This sermon unpacks Leviticus 23 and New Testament prophecy to reveal why the trumpet still matters—and why you can’t afford to ignore its blast.
-
Have you ever paused to wonder why God makes it clear that He doesn’t rejoice when the wicked die? Could it be that this isn’t just about justice—but a deeper expression of His heart for repentance and redemption? This sermon tackles Ezekiel 33 head-on, urging you to consider: is God’s sorrow over sin something we’re truly aware of—and how does that shape your response today?
-
What if the fiercest storms in your life aren’t just disasters—but invitations? Could the “secret place” be more than a quiet moment—but a divine shelter in chaos? This sermon reveals how finding your refuge in God turns hardship into holiness—and asks: where will you hide when the storm hits?
-
What if being God’s child isn’t about status—but about whether you reflect His heart? Can you see if you’re a true son by looking at your obedience, sacrifice, and alignment with His will? This sermon digs deep into what real sonship looks like—and asks: do you carry the mark of a true son?
-
Are women secretly being kept from the pulpit—not because they can’t preach, but because of a human tradition rooted in silence? This sermon confronts the question head-on, asking: Is banning women from pastoring truly biblical—or is it masking fear with formula? Dive in to challenge what you think the Bible “really says.”
-
Are church leaders chosen by popularity—or by God’s pattern? This sermon dives into Acts 20:17–32 to reveal the biblical blueprint for church leadership and structure—challenging churches that have drifted away from elders and deacons toward boards or celebrity pastors.
-
Have you ever wondered how an ordinary mother could become a mighty warrior in God’s story? This sermon dives into Judges 4 to show how a godly woman’s courage and faith can crush the enemy—and asks: will you rise to claim God’s victory in your life?
-
What if honesty and integrity in your speech aren’t just good values—but a spiritual weapon? This sermon confronts the creeping culture of empty words, asking: Is your “Yes” truly a yes—and your “No,” a no—or is your speech costing you credibility, trust, and even blessing? Dive into Matthew 5:33–37 and discover why letting your word be enough could change everything.
-
Ever wondered if the “Sinner’s Prayer” is truly the gateway to salvation—or a spiritual shortcut that can leave hearts empty? This sermon sparks that very question, revealing how repeating a prayer without real faith can leave you calling without truly believing—and challenges you to discover the difference between “praying words” and genuinely trusting in Jesus Christ’s work.
-
Are church offices defined by popularity—or by Scripture alone? This sermon exposes the truth: the New Testament only ordains two offices—pastors (elders) and deacons—and warns that adding roles like “apostle,” “evangelist,” or “prophet” risks distorting God’s clear design.
-
Are you living to please people—or to honor God? This sermon cuts straight to the heart of the matter, asking: Is your fear of man binding you more than your fear of God? It challenges you to consider what you’ll lose when approval becomes more important than obedience.
-
Are you really just thinking something innocent—or are your eyes leading your heart astray? What if a passing thought of lust is actually the beginning of something that could destroy your marriage, your family, your soul? This sermon digs into Jesus’ radical call from Matthew 5 to cut off anything— even small things—that lure you into sin, then asks: are you prepared to wage war in your mind before temptation becomes your downfall?
-
Do you know what really sets a deacon apart—not just a title, but a sacred calling? This sermon dives into the Bible’s definition (1 Timothy 3; Acts 6) to expose just what qualifications matter, why deacons serve rather than rule, and how their faithful example supports the whole church.
-
What if your understanding of church leadership is built on popularity contests and titles—rather than God’s clear blueprint? This sermon exposes how the Bible uses three names—pastor, elder, bishop—but gives just one office, with strict qualifications from 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1. It dares you to ask: are your leaders truly shepherds, or have we traded God’s design for human-made positions?
-
What if boldness wasn’t optional—but essential—for every believer? Could the power of the Holy Spirit be the difference between timid faith and unstoppable courage? This sermon dives into Acts 4:23–31 to unpack how the early church was radicalized by the Spirit’s fire—and asks: will you tap into that same power, or shrink back in fear?
-
Ever caught yourself thinking, “I’ve never killed anyone—so I’m okay,” only to wonder if Jesus sees things differently? This sermon zeroes in on Jesus’ toughest truth in Matthew 5:21–26, exposing how harboring anger or contempt in your heart is more dangerous than you think—and asks: what’s living inside your heart when no one’s watching?
-
Have you ever wondered if every believer carries the Spirit—or only when we feel powerful? What separates being permanently indwelt by the Holy Spirit at salvation from being empowered repeatedly for service and bold witness? This sermon explores six real moments from Acts that illustrate how indwelling is our spiritual position, while filling is the repeated power for mission—then asks: Which one are you relying on today?
-
What if the cup Jesus drank wasn’t just symbolic—but the full weight of God’s wrath? Could the same cup represent both judgment and redemption—depending on who holds it? This sermon asks: which cup are you drinking from—and are you ready for the one to come?
-
What really happened when the grave couldn’t hold Him? Could the resurrection be more than a moment in history—could it be the power that changes everything? This sermon asks: are you living in the reality of His risen life, or still stuck in the shadow of the tomb?
-
What if the resurrection was never an accident—but God’s plan from the very beginning? Could every step—from Eden’s promise, through the cross—be leading to that empty tomb? This sermon lays out the roadmap and asks: will you trace God’s design—or miss the divine journey behind the miracle?
-
What if your “fur baby” isn’t a blessing—but a spiritual distraction, or worse? Could the Bible’s repeated warnings about dogs reveal more than just metaphor—and expose a cultural obsession that’s replacing faith with filth? This sermon doesn’t hold back. It asks: have you welcomed a demon dog into your home—and heart—without even realizing it?
-
What if every choice you make today aligns you with a divine blessing—or plunges you into a curse? This sermon cuts straight to the heart by drawing a clear line through Deuteronomy 28—showing God’s unconditional blessings for obedience and stark warnings of curses for rebellion—and asks: Which path are you walking—and where will it lead your family, church, and nation?
-
What if the biggest crisis in your community isn’t poverty or politics—but the death of honor? Could trash-strewn streets, broken families, and viral filth all trace back to one root: a total loss of respect for God, others, and ourselves? This sermon demands you face the question: will you keep lowering the standard—or finally raise it back where it belongs?
-
What if “religious” people aren’t safe—but spiritually dead? Could the greatest danger be your own self-righteousness—numbering your sins while counting others’? This sermon exposes the hearts of modern Pharisees and asks: are you trusting in your prayers, service, and laws—or do you truly need a Savior?
