“ Sermon Overview ” Text: Hebrews 13:1-6
Lesson: In Christ Believers are Declared Virtuous - Stay Virtuous -- Keep Brotherly Love, Keep Honor (in marriage) and Keep content.
This sermon provides insight into the Hebrews' 1st Century situation and makes particular applications for today. The sermon's 2nd point provides extensive input on How to keep Honor in marrage,
and speaks openly to a Sunday congregation about sex, inside and outside of marriage.
The last point, of keeping content, is developed only briefly (due to time constraints).
“ Sweet topic! ” Our brother points us to the truth of God seeing the saints as perfect when he views through the blood of Christ. This is so sweet to our souls, especially when we realise that it is He who drew us to Christ at the first. (John6:44). If you need a bit of uplifting ministry, then this is half an hour well spent.
“ Much Appreciated! ” This was a perfect and timely word for me, it was just what I needed to hear. This is such a comforting and truthful message which has liberated me to truly receive and believe what Jesus declares about His own. I feel confident to accept this by faith and be made whole by its truth. Thank you for this much appreciated message. I trust many others will listen and be blessed!
“ Scriptural, Factual, Helpful ” For those who need encouragement and a place to rest. Presents the facts. Not in your face. Gospel can be found here.
Scriptural and pastoral.
“ The Passion of the Christ: Who Killed Jesus ” A talk based inspired by Gibson's blockbuster movie. Fair, balanced and based on passages from the Bible.
“ Inspirational & User Friendly for seekers & believers ” A 'user-friendly' message for Christians or anyone else. A practical message which communicates an indepth theological understanding of Christ and his gospel. Listeners will likely feel their burdens lifted, and their spirit refreshed. The message is intended to inspire gratitude for Christ's gift and to leave you walking away wanting to be a better person.
“ Thanks for an Encouraging Word from God ” Every congregation wants a good minister, but God has given us the perfect minister, in Christ. This sermon is based on Heb.10:14, and teaches us why Christ is the perfect minister for us: because by one sacrifice he made perfect, forever,those who are being perfected. Because of Christ's perfect sacrifice, God now considers every believer as perfect, forever, even though they struggle against sin. In gratitude for Christ's sacrifice, believers are called to allow Christ to have his perfect way in their lives.
This sermon does not teach perfectionism but it does teach instead, that Christians are to be more like what God declares them to be, -- perfect, in Christ, forever. God will not rest with his children, until they arrive at a state of perfection, which is their destination.
“ Great Sermon! ” Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" has raised the old question, "Who Killed Jesus?" This sermon is loaded with quotations from the Bible to support the speaker's message: "God used sinful men, Jews Gentiles, to kill Jesus, so that, thru faith, we might escape God’s final judgment. Sinful humans intended the crucifixion for evil, but God intended it for good.
We are now faced with a choice:
1. Keep holding to your sin, until you face God’s final judgment; Or
2. Keep holding to Jesus, believing that he was judged in your place.
