All Sermons: Salvation
True preaching emphasizes Jesus Christ and Him crucified (I Cor 2:2; 3:11). This most important fact is glorious (Gal 6:14; I Tim 1:15; 3:16). The universe exists for the drama of the Son of God securing eternal life for His people. Preaching is not anecdotes, jokes, or stories. It is not about you being healthy, wealthy, and happy – it is about you humbling yourself before Jesus Christ and changing your life to please your Creator God and Saviour, for He is coming soon to judge the world.
7/14/2024 AMGlory of Christ in Romans 8
The breadth, depth, density of this chapter is exceptional. The inspired apostle became a holy orator for God. It has many promises to increase assurance and faith. Its great emphasis from beginning to end is the union of the elect with Christ, proven by minding and walking after the things of the Spirit.
5/5/2024 AMElect to Obedience and Blood
A great summary of the divine plan and work of salvation is I Peter 1:2. Election is the first cause of all that follows, with Jesus Christ's obedience and death the object of God's choice and the Spirit's setting apart of the elect to the effects of His death. These 24 words humble man and glorify God.
4/7/2024 PMJesus Died for Me
The death of Jesus was intentional, loving, personal, specific, and substitutionary. It is far more than a mere doctrine. He knew He came to die and for whom He would die. Your name was written in heaven, when He was assigned to save you. If He thus died for you, then you should live for Him.
4/3/2024 PMRomans 9 Slides
Romans 9:6-24 to review God's electing grace to save men and His dominion to damn rebels. Paul used family examples of Isaac and Jacob. He used scripture about His mercy and Pharaoh. He asked and answered questions. He exalted the Potter over the clay. He summarized it perfectly.
2/4/2024 PMThe Power of Life (2)
No man has power to resist death or retain his spirit at the time of death. But God gave Jesus the power of life and eternal life, so He is the glorious Prince of Life, and He lives forever. Amen! He guarantees life for us; we can prove we have eternal life; and we should celebrate life with all our might.
2/4/2024 AMThe Power of Life (1)
Life is a precious gift, but we threw it away and chose death in Eden. No man can avoid death. Your body is decaying right now. You will die. But God planned life and eternal life for His elect, and He gave the power of life to His Son Jesus. The gift of life and eternal life bythe grace of God is glorious.
1/29/2024 PMDecisional Regeneration

9/17/2023 PMKnow God or Known of God
Paul told the Galatians (4:9) their conversion was knowing God, but their salvation was better understood as Him knowing them. God has known His elect from eternity. He set His love on them then and wrote their names in the book of life. No one else that might know you can do anything for you.
7/2/2023 PMThe Pardon of the Cross (2)
If GOD Jehovah charged us for our sins, not one of us could stand. We are on death row for Adam's sin and for our own sins. God cannot acquit or clear the guilty or wicked. But He does pardon and forgive some. How? Through the substitutionary life and death of Jesus Christ. You are pardoned. Rejoice!

6/4/2023 PMThe Greatest Love of All (2)
God's great love for His Son is glorious to study and consider, but He loves His elect children with equal love. Incredible! The Bible says so, which should move believers to honor the Son to honor the Father through Him. Communion is a special event and action to celebrate God's love for us.
6/4/2023 AMThe Greatest Love of All (1)
The world is insane about love, for they think self-love is the greatest. But the eternal, intentional, intimate love the Creator God Jehovah had for His Son Jesus is the greatest love of all, and it can be seen through the pages of the Bible as God glorified, protected, and avenged His Son.
5/14/2023 AMTwelve Facts for Christians (1)
God saved His elect and empowered them to right thinking. Bible preaching changes how we think to increase faith, hope, and wisdom against the hopeless folly and insanity of the world. We start with the great uncertainly of natural life and contrast it to the guaranteed glory of eternal life.
5/7/2023 PMA Fountain Filled with Blood
Zechariah 13:1 is a prophecy of a fountain for sin and uncleanness. In a context of prophecies about Jesus, the fountain is a metaphor for the blood of Christ washing away our sins. William Cowper wrote the song, "There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood" which guarantees eternal life for all elect.

1/22/2023 AMWrath or Peace (3)
God has revealed His wrath and the coming day of wrath in the gospel, but few will preach it. Few know the God of the Bible. But God is angry with the wicked every day, and He is coming soon with His mighty angels in flaming fire to wreck vengeance on this planet and all disobedient unbelievers.

12/11/2022 AMSin Swallowed Up, O Love, By Thee
Our sins in Eden and since have condemned all men to three horrible deaths. But God set His love on His elect in eternity - a glorious doctrine known by few - and He will always love them and save them from all their sins. Not only has He saved them, but He has also adopted them and promoted them to glory.
11/6/2022 PMKnow God or Known of God
Galatians 4:8-11 corrects over emphasis on knowing God rather than Him knowing you. Paul knew this and put God higher. God and His Son have known and foreknown the elect from eternity, far different from the reprobates that will be cast into hellfire by these terrifying words: I never knew you.
10/5/2022 AMAssurance of Eternal Life #2 Slides

9/4/2022 PMThe Great Gulf Spanned
Luke 16:19-31 is our Lord's lesson about hell and heaven, when He taught that hell was filled with torments and there was no comfort or escape. God has fixed a great gulf between hell and heaven, but Jesus died on the cross to span that gulf to save His elect. The song, At Calvary, was used.
