Title: Glory to God and Hope for His People
Speaker: Rev. Jason Van Bemmel
Series: Romans
Date: September 6, 2026
Bible: Romans 15:8-13

The sermon explores the dual nature of God as both promise-keeping and merciful, using Romans 15 to demonstrate how Christ fulfills Old Testament prophecies for both Jews and Gentiles. It contrasts the emptiness of worldly substitutes for meaning with the abundant hope, joy, and peace found only in trusting God's unchanging character. The preacher emphasizes that Jesus serves as the ultimate confirmation of God's faithfulness and the source of true satisfaction for the human soul. Believers are encouraged to place their full expectation on God rather than creating idols out of temporary blessings or circumstances. This trust allows Christians to glorify God regardless of their external situation, relying on His steadfast love and integrity. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/9626192349438

Title: Love One Another
Speaker: Kurt Scharping
Series: 1 John
Date: August 30, 2026
Bible: 1 John 3:11-18

The sermon examines 1 John 3 to distinguish true faith from mere profession by highlighting two essential tests: correct doctrine and practical love. It contrasts the hatred of Cain with the sacrificial love of Christ, arguing that genuine justification by faith alone inevitably produces sanctification evidenced by loving the church. The preacher warns against the errors of legalism and antinomianism, asserting that true believers are marked by a desire to obey God and serve their neighbors in deed and truth. This active love serves as the primary evidence that one has passed from death into life and possesses saving faith. Ultimately, the message calls listeners to rest in Christ's righteousness while actively pursuing holiness and unity within the body of believers. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/83026195554100

Title: Know Your Adoption
Speaker: Kurt Scharping
Series: 1 John
Date: August 23, 2026
Bible: 1 John 2:28-3:10

The sermon explores the theological concept of adoption into God's family, distinguishing it from justification while emphasizing that both are acts of grace. It argues that believers can objectively know they are children of God through two primary evidences: a consistent practice of righteousness and a hopeful anticipation of Christ's return. The preacher clarifies that this does not imply sinless perfection but rather a transformed nature that hates sin and strives for holiness by the power of the Holy Spirit. By contrasting true faith with emotionalism or legalism, the message asserts that genuine salvation results in behavioral change and love for others. Ultimately, the hope of future glorification serves as a powerful motivation for present moral purity and endurance in the Christian life. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/823261847222940

Title: Basic Christianity
Speaker: Kurt Scharping
Series: 1 John
Date: August 16, 2026
Bible: 1 John 2:12-14

The sermon examines 1 John 2:12-14 to establish three pillars of assurance for believers: forgiveness of sins, knowledge of the eternal Father, and victory over the evil one. It contrasts true Christian doctrine with heretical views that prioritize emotional experience over biblical truth and moral accountability. The preacher emphasizes the gravity of original sin and the necessity of relying solely on Christ's atoning work for salvation rather than human merit. Additionally, the text highlights the ongoing spiritual battle against the world, flesh, and devil, urging believers to persist in holiness through the power of the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, the message encourages Christians to maintain confidence in their genuine faith by recognizing their forgiven status, their relationship with God, and their progressive sanctification. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/81626191551178

Title: The Fruit of the Spirit
Speaker: Paul J. Foster
Series: The Holy Spirit
Date: August 2, 2026
Bible: Galatians 5:16-26

This sermon explores the nine attributes of the Fruit of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5, emphasizing that these qualities are divinely produced gifts for all believers rather than natural character traits. The preacher contrasts the works of the flesh with the spiritual fruit, urging listeners to identify and root out opposing vices such as bitterness, impatience, and hypocrisy while cultivating virtues like love, joy, peace, and self-control. Using personal anecdotes and biblical examples from Job, David, and Barnabas, the message illustrates how these fruits manifest in daily life and relationships. The tone is pastoral and instructional, encouraging self-examination and reliance on the Holy Spirit to develop a genuine, consistent Christian character. Ultimately, the sermon calls for prayerful dependence on God to grow these specific graces within the heart of every believer. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/832616566854
