  The Old Paths 06.10.2026 1u 52min

  The sermon calls for a return to the 'old paths' of fervent prayer, personal holiness, and genuine conversion, contrasting the superficiality of modern religious practices with the depth of historical revivals. It argues that true revival is not merely an increase in numbers or emotional excitement, but a profound transformation of character evidenced by a life of devotion and separation from worldly influences. Through anecdotes of past revivalists and the failures of contemporary ministries, the message emphasizes that the Holy Spirit's work requires a lifestyle of intercession and obedience rather than programmed events. The speaker urges believers to prioritize the knowledge of God and the fear of judgment over cultural trends, asserting that only a life rooted in the Word and sustained by prayer can withstand the coming judgment and effectively reach the lost.

  Fear to Favour 06.10.2026 29min

  This sermon examines the final reconciliation between Joseph and his brothers in Genesis 50, highlighting the transition from their fear of retribution to genuine repentance and forgiveness. The preacher contrasts mere remorse with true repentance, illustrating how the Holy Spirit convicts sinners to seek mercy rather than wallowing in guilt. By analyzing the brothers' plea and Joseph's response, the message emphasizes that while humans are responsible for their evil deeds, God sovereignly works all things for good, as seen in Joseph's ability to forgive because he recognized God's hand in his life. The exposition connects this narrative to the Christian experience of mediation through Christ, urging believers to trust in God's sovereignty and the promise of restoration despite past failures.

  The Fruit of Fear: What will you do with Jesus 05.10.2026 43min

  This sermon examines the trial of Jesus before Pilate to illustrate how fear of man can distort judgment and lead to sinful choices. The central message argues that fear weakens conviction, causing individuals to abandon truth for the sake of personal comfort or social approval. By analyzing Pilate's hesitation and the religious leaders' manipulation, the text highlights the spiritual danger of allowing external pressure to override God's revealed will. The preacher emphasizes that while humans may be tempted by worldly consequences, they are never forced to sin, and true righteousness requires standing firm on the truth despite the cost. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to pause, pray, and present themselves to God, ensuring their actions reflect holiness rather than selfishness or fear.

Central to the message is the assurance that God's eye is upon those who fear Him, offering deliverance from death and sustenance in times of famine. The sermon concludes with an encouragement for believers to wait on the Lord, trusting in His mercy and holy name as their ultimate help and shield.

  The Trial Before Pilate, Part 1 04.10.2026 43min

  An exposition of John 18:28–32 examining the opening exchange between the Jewish leaders and Pontius Pilate as they deliver Jesus for execution. The sermon traces the bitter irony of the chief priests refusing to enter the praetorium for fear of ceremonial defilement while simultaneously conspiring to put the innocent Son of God to death, and shows how their very actions fulfil Jesus' earlier words concerning the manner of his death. Main points: - the irony of the Jewish leaders' ceremonial scruples at the very moment of their greatest moral corruption - the significance of Roman authority and why the Jews could not execute Jesus themselves - the sovereign fulfilment of Christ's own predictions concerning the kind of death he would die Scripture references: - Numbers 9:6-14 - Psalm 2:1-2 - John 3:14; 8:28; 12:32-33; 18:1-32 - Acts 2:23; 4:27-28 - Romans 8:31-32 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-john-18-the-trial-before-pilate-part-1-2 Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

  The Most High Rules 04.10.2026 32min

  I came to the book of Daniel prepared to preach Christ from the heroic prophetic feats of the title character. Surely he is the great type of Christ in his own book! And indeed, as we will see Daniel consistently acts as prophet and priest throughout his time in Babylon, with parallels to the Son of Man that are not to be taken lightly. But in chs. 2 & 4, much to my surprise, I have discovered that the great type of the Son of Man is not Daniel, but Nebuchadnezzar! The pagan monarch, the Babylonian tyrant, the destroyer of God's temple, the man who surely ought to be a one-dimensional villain — that man is like Christ in numerous ways. We saw in ch. 2 that he is called "kings of kings" and that he is the "head of gold," a description that overlaps the description of the Beloved in Song of Solomon 5. But those parallels are small potatoes compared to the narrative arc of Daniel 4, in which we see humiliation and exaltation, a cosmic tree cut down and then regrown. Yes, clearly Nebuchadnezzar is not Christ. But he is like Him in some key ways, ways that mark out the Babylonian as a foil character whose flaws highlight the perfections of the lion of the tribe of Judah. Particularly in his humiliation and exaltation, Nebuchadnezzar reminds us of the humiliation and exaltation of the Son of Man, and teaches us the lesson he learned: conformity to Christ requires humility.

  Have I Got your Attention yet? - God 04.10.2026 51min

  God does not speak merely to fill the air. He speaks to give wisdom, to correct the simple, and to establish the fear of the LORD in the heart. His calls may come through His provision, His Word, His works, correction, or the hard circumstances that make us stop and listen. From Proverbs 1:1-7 and Proverbs 1:28, Pastor Ed Decker shows that real knowledge does not begin with information. It begins when we stop, listen, and fear the LORD. Isaiah reminds us that there is no God beside Him, that He has declared the end from the beginning, and that He teaches us to profit and leads us in the way we should go. Wisdom is available, but fools despise wisdom and instruction until consequences make the warning plain. Text: Proverbs 1:1-7; Proverbs 1:28; Isaiah 45:5; Isaiah 46:9; Isaiah 48:17 Key truth: "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction." — Proverbs 1:7

  Grieving the Spirit 04.10.2026 38min

  The sermon explores the theological tension between the believer's secure seal in the Holy Spirit and the reality of grieving the Holy Spirit by sinning. It argues that Christianity is not merely about moral performance but about a personal relationship with the indwelling God, where the believer's body serves as the temple of the Holy Spirit. The message emphasizes that sin, whether in thought, word, or deed, causes grief to the Spirit because He is a person who dwells within the believer, knowing every intention and action. The preacher urges the audience to live with a reverential fear of God, defined as an acute awareness of His constant presence, which transforms daily conduct and prevents the gradual loss of spiritual joy and assurance. Ultimately, the call is to acknowledge the Spirit's leading in every aspect of life.

  Ecclesiastes 6 and 7 04.10.2026 29min

  This sermon examines the futility of worldly pursuits by analyzing Solomon's observations in Ecclesiastes regarding wealth, longevity, and human achievement. It argues that material riches and long life do not guarantee satisfaction or happiness, citing examples of wealthy individuals who died without benefit or purpose. The text contrasts the superficial joy of feasting with the profound spiritual insight gained through mourning and sorrow, suggesting that facing mortality leads to a better understanding of life's priorities. Furthermore, it highlights the limitations of human wisdom and the danger of relying on one's own understanding or trusting in others, emphasizing that only God provides true stability and meaning. The central message is that while earthly things are transient and often unsatisfying, fearing God and seeking His wisdom is the only path to a meaningful existence.

  Wisdom for this world 04.10.2026 47min

  Who or what do you want to be? Too often, our eyes and our hearts are fixed on those who seem to be great in this world, but they are far from God. In response we hear wisdom speak. WIsdom gives a warning: do not let your heart envy sinners. Wisdom urges a contrast: we are instead to be zealous for the fear of the Lord all the day. Wisdom offers a promise: surely there is a hereafter and your hope will not be cut off. We need to lift our eyes and our hearts above this world and beyond the sinners who seem to have all this world offers, to the promised hereafter and the glorious hope which Christ provides.

  The Thief on the Cross 04.10.2026 44min

  This sermon examines the conversion of the penitent thief at Calvary, presenting it as a fulfillment of Old Testament typology found in Genesis 40 and Isaiah 53. The central message emphasizes that this transformation was solely the work of the Holy Spirit, who convicted the sinner of his guilt and revealed the sovereignty of God as Creator, Judge, and Savior. The preacher highlights the thief's recognition of Christ's impeccable sinlessness and substitutionary death, arguing that only a sinless Savior can atone for the sins of the ungodly. The tone is urgent and pastoral, calling listeners to fear God, acknowledge their own condemnation, and cry out to Jesus for mercy before it is too late.

  The Return of the King: The Great Ingathering 04.10.2026 53min

  (AI Generated Summary) The sermon explores the eschatological promise in Luke 21:28, contrasting the fear experienced by the world with the joy and anticipation that should characterize the hearts of believers. It argues that the return of Christ is not a source of dread for God's people but the imminent arrival of their redemption and final restoration. By examining parallel passages in Matthew and 1 Thessalonians, the message clarifies that the gathering of the elect by angels signifies a comprehensive rescue that includes both the living and the dead, transcending physical limitations. The tone is pastoral and encouraging, urging the audience to view the end times through the lens of hope, reunion with Christ, and the fulfillment of God's covenant promises.

  Sealed 04.10.2026 38min

  This sermon explores the theological significance of being sealed by the Holy Spirit as described in Ephesians 1, emphasizing that this seal represents the finality of salvation, the security of the believer, and the mark of God's ownership. The teaching distinguishes between the preservation of the saint and the carnal Christian, arguing that eternal security is grounded in Christ's finished work and the indwelling presence of the Spirit rather than human effort or works. By examining the legal and ancient cultural context of a seal, the message assures believers that their identity is defined by their union with Christ, who keeps them secure until the day of redemption. The sermon concludes by encouraging believers to rest in this divine assurance, which empowers them to live a transformed life free from the fear of condemnation and the pressure of self-reliance.

  Proclaiming Glorious Light 04.10.2026 44min

  "Those who have tried to reach Mohammedans with the gospel message and who are in the midst of the work, do not call for retreat, but for reinforcements and advance. They know that in this mighty conflict we have nothing to fear save our own sloth and inactivity." Samuel Zwemer's words echo Paul's own declaration in 2 Corinthians 4:1-6, "having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart." Whether by rejection or affliction, the mission has countless reasons for discouragement. And discouragement can lead to compromise. But we advance, determined to change neither message nor method.

  Fear Not the Enemies of God 04.10.2026 1u 9min

  The sermon explores the assurance of God's presence and provision for His people, drawing primarily from Psalm 46. It contrasts the turmoil of the world with the peace found in the 'city of God,' identifying believers as citizens of heaven who are sustained by the spiritual streams of God's grace. The message emphasizes that true gladness arises not from circumstances but from a deep reliance on Christ, the dwelling of the Holy Spirit within the believer, and the unshakeable security of the church. In the face of societal opposition and personal trials, the preacher encourages believers to walk in courage and to engage in evangelism, trusting that the Lord of Hosts is with them and will ultimately silence the raging of the wicked.
