-
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?
-
What if the greatest impact in your church isn’t made from the pulpit—but from the pews? Could your quiet faithfulness, humble service, and unseen labor be what God uses to build something that lasts? This sermon asks: will you show up, step up, and seize the opportunity to make this new church thrive?
-
What if honoring your parents isn’t just a command—but a path to healing even through the pain? Could respect and forgiveness—spoken or unspoken—be the key to breaking generational chains? This sermon challenges you to ask: will you honor even when it hurts—and let God redeem the wounds for His glory?
-
What if grace isn’t a free pass—but a test of your character? Could it be that so-called “liberty” in Christ sometimes masks a license to sin? This sermon takes scripture to the courtroom and asks: when grace is on trial, will it defend your freedom—or expose your sin?
-
What if Jesus didn’t erase the Law—but fulfilled every word for you? Could clinging to good works be keeping you from the very grace the Law was meant to lead you to? This sermon asks: are you trusting in your effort—or in the One who already finished the work?
-
Is God really in you — or are you still looking for Him in buildings and rituals? Jesus changed everything. Discover how the Holy Spirit now dwells within every believer, and what it means for your power, purpose, and walk with God.
-
Did Jesus Purify Heaven—or Us? Was Christ’s blood shed to cleanse heaven itself or to prepare us for it? Dive deep into Hebrews 9:23 and discover the true “heavenly things” that needed purifying.
-
Is there any hope outside of the cross? Was Christ’s sacrifice—**and only His sacrifice—powerful enough to redeem your soul? This sermon confronts the claim that any other way to salvation could exist and demands the question: will you trust in your own efforts—or stand boldly by His blood alone?
-
Are you preserving truth or blending in with the world? Jesus said, “Ye are the salt of the earth” and “Ye are the light of the world.” Are you shining brightly—or hiding your light under a bushel?
-
What does wheat have to do with 3,000 souls getting saved? How does an Old Testament feast connect to the fire of Pentecost? Why did the law kill 3,000, but the Spirit give life to the same number? The Feast of Weeks was more than a tradition—it was a prophecy waiting to be fulfilled. This sermon uncovers how Acts 2 wasn’t just the beginning of the church… it was the continuation of God’s harvest plan. Are you part of it?
