Sermons on John Chapter 8 Verses 30 Through 12:

Freedom Through Self-Denial

Contributed by Norayr Hajian on Apr 1, 2008

On the one hand, Jesus says "deny yourself, take up your cross and follow me." On the other hand Jesus says "I have come that they may have life and have it to the full." The message explains how is self-denial is a life "to the fullest".

Today we’re going to look at a topic that is very personal. The scripture is from Luke 9:23 “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” Just hearing these words is difficult. Putting them into practice seems utterly hopeless, unrealistic. We ...read more

Obey - Sermon On Philippians 2:7-12 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Apr 1, 2023

Jesus was fully God and fully man, and the fourth aspect of his example of humility was obedience – to God and to human authorities. So God exalted him by making him Lord and Judge over all. Therefore we should obey – because of his example and because of his supremacy and lordship as judge.

Philippians 2:5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the very form of God, did not consider that equality with God something to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the very form of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in ...read more

Measure Your Faith Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Jan 24, 2016

1) An accurate belief in the nature of God (1 John 1:5), and 2) A genuine belief in the certainty of sin (1 John 1:6, 8, 10)

Ever since the fall, humanity has tried to deny the reality of sin, even though every human being is innately aware of its presence. (cf. Rom. 2:14-16). People today minimize and redefine sin, often alleging that the “failures” of their lives and certain “disorders” exist ...read more

“the Coming Of Christ In John” Series

28. Romans Chapter 6 Verses 19-23 - Messages In Romans – Dead To Sin; Slaves Of Righteousness. Sanctification, Eternal Life And Death – Message 28 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 7, 2025

Chapter 6 ends the contrasts we had been looking at. We must not use our bodies for impurity but slaves for the Lord in righteousness. Paul ends with being freed from sin with sanctification leading to eternal life. BUT for the unsaved he states the wages of sin is death. A rich chapter indeed.

Overcoming Through Suffering In Ministry

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 2, 2021

I’d like to begin with the example of Richard Wurmbrand. His is a famous struggle against true evil. He was born in Armenia in 1909. He was a minister in Romania during the spread of communism across the globe.

We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. -2 Corinthians 4:8-10 ESV I’d like to ...read more
