Title: The Safety of Suffering Christians
Speaker: Pooyan Mehrshahi
Series: 1 Peter
Date: 6 September 2026
Bible: 1 Peter 4:19

The Safety of Suffering Christians (1 Peter 4:19)

This sermon exhorts believers to entrust their souls to God during times of persecution and uncontrollable hardship. It emphasizes that suffering occurs under God's sovereign will, removing the notion of random chance or victimhood. The preacher highlights God as the faithful creator who possesses both the power and the moral character to preserve those who belong to Him. Believers are commanded to continuously commit their lives to His care while actively continuing in good works rather than retreating into passivity. This posture of trust and obedience serves as a powerful witness, demonstrating that the Christian's security rests solely in God's unchanging faithfulness. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/97262254585134

Title: The Living and True God
Speaker: Pooyan Mehrshahi
Series: Catechism for Boys and Girls
Date: 6 September 2026
Bible: Jeremiah 10:1-16

The Living and True God (Jeremiah 10:1-16)

The sermon contrasts the emptiness of human-made idols with the reality of the one living and true God, emphasizing that truth is objective rather than a matter of personal sincerity. It exposes modern idolatry as placing ultimate trust in created things like wealth or reputation, which inevitably fail to sustain life. The message asserts that correct theology alone is insufficient for salvation because sin separates humanity from God. Jesus Christ is presented as the sole mediator who bridges this gap through His sacrificial death and resurrection. True conversion requires turning away from all idols to place complete faith in Christ as Savior. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/97262253416743

Title: Clean Your Conscience
Speaker: Pooyan Mehrshahi
Series: Stroud Christian Mission
Date: 8 September 2026
Bible: Hebrews 9:14

Clean Your Conscience (Hebrews 9:14)

The sermon explores the nature of the human conscience as a God-given moral alarm that testifies to right and wrong, yet warns that this inner witness can become seared or corrupted through denial, rationalization, and habitual sin. It argues that religious rituals, self-improvement, or mere knowledge cannot remove the burden of guilt before a holy God. The central message emphasizes that only the sacrificial blood of Jesus Christ, offered without spot to God, has the power to truly purge the conscience from dead works. This divine cleansing does not merely silence feelings of shame but deals with the objective reality of sin, granting peace and enabling believers to serve the living God with a renewed heart. The preacher urges listeners to stop hiding their guilt and instead trust in Christ's finished work for complete forgiveness and restoration. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/97262326431874

Title: Life After the Thunder
Speaker: Pooyan Mehrshahi
Series: 1 Samuel
Date: 2 September 2026
Bible: 1 Samuel 7:13-17

This sermon explores the aftermath of dramatic spiritual experiences, emphasizing that true victory lies in ordinary faithfulness rather than continued excitement. Drawing from 1 Samuel 7:13-17, it highlights how God restrains enemies without removing them entirely, restores lost spiritual ground, and grants unexpected peace to those who walk faithfully. The text contrasts fleeting emotional highs with the enduring power of consistent service and private devotion, illustrated by Samuel's annual circuit and his return to his altar. It warns against professionalizing ministry or neglecting personal communion with God while pursuing public work. Ultimately, the message calls believers to recover neglected areas of their lives, value seasons of quiet peace, and maintain a deep, private relationship with Christ amidst daily responsibilities. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/9326719432581

Title: Judgement Begins at Home
Speaker: Pooyan Mehrshahi
Series: 1 Peter
Date: 30 August 2026
Bible: 1 Peter 4:17-18

Judgement Begins at Home (1 Peter 4:17-18)

The sermon examines 1 Peter 4:17-18 to explain that God's judgment begins with His own household, serving as a refining fire for believers rather than a condemning sentence. This divine discipline purifies the church by exposing hidden idols and strengthening faith through trials, distinguishing it from the destructive final judgment awaiting those who reject the gospel. The preacher emphasizes that while the righteous are saved with difficulty through God's sovereign grace and preserving power, their salvation is secure because Christ has already borne their penalty. Believers are encouraged to view suffering as a fatherly correction intended for their good, while unbelievers face a terrifying future without a substitute. The message concludes with an urgent call to trust in Jesus Christ before the door of mercy closes. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/830262118581300

Title: God Holds Your Breath
Speaker: Pooyan Mehrshahi
Series: Catechism for Boys and Girls
Date: 30 August 2026
Bible: Daniel 5:23

God Holds Your Breath (Daniel 5:22-30)

The sermon explores the sovereignty of God over human life, emphasizing that every breath and step is held in His hand. It contrasts the fleeting power of worldly rulers with the eternal care of God, who governs all circumstances for His creatures. The preacher highlights how sin involves exalting oneself against God and ignoring the Giver of life's gifts. Through the example of Belshazzar, the text warns that human existence is temporary and subject to divine judgment. Ultimately, it calls listeners to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, who bore the penalty for sin and offers forgiveness to all who trust in Him. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/830262115204438
