Sometimes we talk as if sin is greater than grace. Sin is not greater than grace. We have more faith in sin to send us to hell than faith for grace to send us to heaven. Somehow or another we think sin is more powerful than grace. "Oh, you know [...]

If you are a man, and this may not just be men, it may be everybody. But you found yourself struggling, with sin, and you feel like every time God looks at you, he looks at you and sees the sin in your life. And that's a very interesting thing [...]

I'm going to ask you to turn with me to the third chapter of the book of Genesis. And at the end of that chapter it says this: "And the Lord God said, behold, the man has become as one of us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put [...]

Ephesians 2:8-9 says this: "For by grace you have been saved through faith". And even the faith that saves us, Paul tells us, is not the result of our own works. It's the gift of God. Sometimes people get a funny idea that faith is a [...]

One of the most familiar verses in all the Bible is found in First John, the little epistle toward the back of the Bible. And one of the reasons it is so familiar is because it is something we have to deal with every day. It goes like this: If we [...]

Yeshua said, "You did not choose me, I chose you". To really give a powerful example, think about the Apostle Shaul, we call him in Hebrew, the Apostle Paul. Here he is on his way to Damascus, right, to arrest any Jew that believed in [...]

Now I want to turn the tables on you. I want to ask you the final question. And I won't embarrass you, I really want a response. I'm not trying to draw you out; I just want to know as a matter of interest. The second question was will the [...]

The most important question that I believe you can ever ask is this: if there's a heaven, how can I enter heaven? Today if you notice, modern people, whether you like it or not, have this mindset: life someday will be judged. There will be a [...]

Let's come now to predestination. And it's not surprising because this is probably one of the most difficult areas of Christian truth, fully to understand and rightly to divide. Let me say at the beginning that I don't believe in the [...]

There is no person that God cannot save! There is no promise that God will not keep! There is nothing that our God cannot do! Take your Bibles and turn with me to 1 John, and we'll begin with the fifth chapter. There's a tombstone in [...]

On May 26, 2013, 4:30 p.m., a massive ocean swell slammed into the Jascon-4, a tugboat towing a oil tanker off the coast of Nigeria. The waves sprayed sheets of water across the deck, cracking a piece of the hull and flipping the vessel over on its [...]

So, she takes her son, she lays him in the bed of the prophet. You heard the saying, "You've made your bed now, lie in it". Well, that's what she did. She was so filled with faith because she didn't wait for the tragedy to [...]

Verse 32, "Elisha came into the house, there was the child, lying dead on his bed. He went in therefore, shut the door behind the two of them, and prayed to the Lord. And he went up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, his eyes [...]

In Genesis 7, "The Lord said to Noah, 'Come into the Ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation.'" Now watch this, "'You shall take with you [...]

Baruch Hashem, blessings to you, my beloved friends. Thank you for letting me minister to you today. We're looking at the Gospel of John, two foundational scriptures from John chapter one. Reading the Word of God, chapter one verse three says [...]

Peace be with you. Friends, I'm going to admit something to you. I'm a little bit reluctant to talk about the topic of our Gospel for today, because it's this famously controversial matter of how many will be saved. So someone asks [...]

Well, today on Bible Nerds, we are talking about baptism, that thing where somebody gets dunked underwater by somebody else, and it's all for the name and glory of Jesus, and people go crazy, that's what we're talking about today, [...]

This is an excerpt from: The Cross At The Center - Part 1 I want to give you a number of different reasons why we need the cross at the center, why nothing else must ever be allowed to take the place of the cross in the church in general, and in [...]

Peace be with you. Friends, for this fourth Sunday of Easter, our first reading is from one of the magnificent early kerygmatic sermons of St. Peter. The "kerygma" means the basic proclamation. So here's Peter, in the earliest days, [...]

I began in Romans chapter 9 as I described the urgent prophetic anointing that Paul had to reach Jewish people. I'm continuing today now with Romans 10. 1. Brethren, Paul says, "My heart's desire and my prayer to God for them," [...]

So, Mark chapter 11, if you come around to the fourth verse, "They went their way and found a colt tied by the door", and so forth, just like he said. "Certain of them stood there and said, 'What do we do to loosen the [...]

Today I want to share with you the importance of making choices. Tell me, make good choices. The truth is, whether you like it or not, we make thousands of decisions every day. I was shocked. You Google the internet and you'll find out. In [...]

Beloved, labels have never saved anyone. Labels have never taken anyone to heaven. And our passage for today in Luke 13 beginning at verse 23, some unknown person asked Jesus, "Lord, will those who are saved be few"? Listen carefully to [...]

Take God's Word and find First John, not the Gospel of John, but First John chapter 5 and verse 13. I've been working on my memory work a little bit, so I want you to look at it. I'm using the King James Version of the Scripture. You [...]

Why is it that so many people who've trusted Jesus Christ as their Savior spend their entire Christian life struggling and feeling defeated in their Christian life? Well, probably one of the reasons is, they don't understand what happened [...]

There is a Bible right next to my laptop in my office. I got it back in 2003. So just before I said I do and got married. And if you can somehow page through this Bible after church, you would find some pages that look you know not brand new but [...]

Jesus sat down began to teach. "The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, having set her in the center of the court, they said to Him, 'Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act.' Now in [...]

This is an excerpt from: Complete Salvation And How To Receive It - Part 2 What I've described is what God has done, the provision He's made. I've told you already it's perfectly perfect, it's completely complete. But, it [...]

This is an excerpt from: Complete Salvation And How To Receive It - Part 2 The second side of identification is we identify ourselves with Jesus. This we do by faith. We do it because the Bible says it's true. Here are the five steps of [...]

This is an excerpt from: Complete Salvation And How To Receive It - Part 2 Let's look, first of all, at this glorious two titles that were given to Him in 1 Corinthians 15:45. Now these are often misquoted by Christians. It's important to [...]

This is an excerpt from: Complete Salvation And How To Receive It - Part 1 I want to draw your attention to something which probably is not familiar to most of you because it does not come out in any translation of the Bible that I know. But there [...]

This is an excerpt from: Complete Salvation And How To Receive It - Part 1 Now, our appropriating the benefits of the sacrifice is progressive. I don't believe there's one person here this evening, myself included, who has appropriated as [...]

We're continuing now with the theme 'Complete Salvation and How To Receive It.' In the previous session I explained that salvation is not just having your sins forgiven, though that's marvelous. It's not even just being born [...]

If you were to die today, are you sure you have eternal life? Does that question disturb you a little bit? Does it make you feel sort of restless, maybe a little insecure, uncertain, maybe a little doubtful, maybe a little fearful, maybe even a [...]

Why is it that so many people who have trusted Jesus Christ as their Savior continually live in rebellion against Him? And why is it that so many people who name the name of Jesus as their Savior refuse to serve Him and their church, among other [...]

Does baptism save you? The other day in church I was talking about the blessings of baptism, reading certain Bible passages. And someone texted me the question, I want to get it word for word, they said, "Salvation comes through your [...]

So here's the toughest question I've had to answer in a long time. Can a person lose their salvation? Can someone who's forgiven, saved, adopted into the family of God, like if they took their last breath, boom. They're out of [...]

Why does Jesus' blood and death save us from hell? Why such suffering to save us and how does this allow us to have a relationship with God? Perfect ending. The short answer is, all right, let's pretend for a second that I'm God and [...]

When you study prophecy, you know there's a certain kind of a major outline that holds it all together. If you've been around here very long, you kind of know the next thing that happens is the Rapture. After the Rapture, there's [...]

Would you take your Bibles and turn to Romans chapter 9. Let me ask you a very serious and a very somber question. Has God created, has God predestined, has God ordained that some people are born to go to Hell? That there's nothing they can do [...]

Turn to Romans chapter 8. Have you ever been in a department store and seen a little child, maybe a boy, generally it will be a boy about eight, who is trying to run up the down escalator? The escalator's coming down and he's just trying [...]

I read a story about Ashley Irwin, who was slightly amused and slightly alarmed when her young son, Wyatt, asked her to pull down his Marvel-themed duffel bag, and he told his mom, "I've got a big trip tomorrow". At first Ashley [...]

Does God Predestine People to Hell? Absolutely not. God does not predestine people to hell. As a matter of fact, when people say, "How can a loving God send people to hell"? I say God is not gonna send anybody to hell; they're gonna [...]

You know, some years ago when I was a very young preacher at the age of 26, I used to tell people I was in a very secular culture and I would say to them, "Do you know that all good people are going to hell and all the bad people are going to [...]

My theme this evening is 'Complete Salvation and How To Receive It.' I want to emphasize the word complete because I believe so many Christians who've experienced salvation have experienced only an incomplete salvation. They're [...]

Now we're going on to verses 26–31. This is the fourth passage of warning. I think we need to turn back to our introduction for a moment. Keep your finger there in 10/3, turn back to 0/2. All right. There are five passages containing solemn [...]

You know, I remember before I was a Christian, I thought when you died, you simply ceased to exist, and that freaked me out. Because I thought, "How can I simply no longer exist"? This is actually what I looked like at that stage. I [...]

I am sure that many, most, if not all, particularly if you have lived for a while, know what it is to have lost your dignity, to have done something for which you are ashamed, that you regret. And perhaps it's not only something in the past, [...]

Find God's Word, Mark chapter 10. And in a few moments we're going to begin reading in verse 17. There is a problem, a real problem, and that is that people attend church, they listen to sermons, they join churches, but they are never [...]

Would you take God's Word and be finding Romans chapter 10? As you've found it, let me ask you a question. Of all of the needs that humanity has, what is the greatest need? Is it education? If it were education, when the Lord Jesus came to [...]
