This sermon defines hypocrisy as a destructive, actor-like duality between one's inner self and outward actions, which is primarily rooted in image management and the deception of the heart. The solution, it argues, is to humbly admit one's own sinfulness while simultaneously accepting the complete forgiveness and acceptance offered by Jesus, which frees a person to live with integrity and vulnerability.

This sermon presents baptism as a spontaneous and urgent act of faith, mirroring the early church's practice of publicly declaring commitment to Jesus. The message urges listeners to move past excuses and a convenient redefinition of Jesus, stressing that true baptism is a profound symbol of dying to oneself, surrendering to Christ's lordship, and confessing him as the sole Savior.

This sermon explores the pivotal question, "Who do you say I am?", asserting that Jesus is more than a good teacher; he is the promised King and the Son of the Living God. The message emphasizes that the correct answer to this question leads to a transformed life of surrender and dependence on God's grace, which makes us His beloved children and empowers us to live out our faith.

This sermon teaches that true discipleship requires three fundamental habits: self-denial, which involves not demanding what one is owed; a deliberate rejection of worldly wisdom in favor of Christ's teachings; and the willingness to die to oneself, mirroring Jesus' sacrifice, as the only path to finding true and eternal life.

This sermon explains that true healing and restoration from sin are rooted in genuine repentance. The message emphasizes that godly repentance involves owning one's sin, uprooting its internal cause, and grieving over it in a way that leads not to self-pity, but to worship and freedom fueled by God's grace.

This sermon contrasts the detached, religious approach of the Pharisee Simon with the passionate devotion of a sinful woman. The core message is that true Christianity is not about being a "good" person but about having a personal, unconditional, and heartfelt relationship with Jesus. The depth of our love for God is directly proportional to our awareness of how much we have been forgiven by His immense and costly sacrifice.

This sermon begins with the theme of God's provision and the need for the current generation to carry forward the gospel message. It then transitions to Jesus' question, "Why are you afraid?", using the story of Jesus calming the storm to demonstrate that His power is real, infinite, and sufficient to overcome any trial, urging believers to replace their fear with faith in His love and control.

This sermon, centered on the parable of the Good Samaritan, argues that true satisfaction and a transformed life come from understanding that we have first been loved by God, not from a futile search for worldly fulfillment. It breaks down the parable to show that the mandate to love God and neighbor is a standard no one can perfectly meet, and that the magnitude of radical, sacrificial love is only possible when we see ourselves as the wounded person on the road who has been saved by Jesus, our ultimate Good Samaritan.

This sermon argues that the church's greatness comes from believers actively making disciples, a mission often hindered by fear. Using the example of the early church, the message encourages believers to confront their fears and pray for boldness to share the gospel, trusting that the Holy Spirit will provide the power and produce the fruit.

This sermon uses the feeding of the 5,000 to illustrate that God's provision is both instinctual and superabundant, and is often "over our heads" or beyond human comprehension. The message argues that Jesus, the Bread of Life, offers ultimate provision and sufficiency through His sacrifice, urging listeners to recognize their complete dependence on Him and live with radical generosity.

This sermon challenges believers to move beyond a performative faith by embracing their calling as the "light of the world," which is a ministry of the Spirit rooted in God's sufficiency, not their own. It emphasizes that this ministry is all about God's glory and calls for the proclamation of the entire gospel, which reveals God's scandalous grace and has the power to bring life to a broken world.

This sermon illuminates the truth that Jesus is the Creator who became creation, the Light who brought enlightenment to a world shrouded in darkness, and the ultimate fulfillment of all the Old Testament's shadows. It argues that Jesus's radical humility and glorious revelation confront humanity's love of darkness, inviting us to find true and lasting satisfaction in Him alone.
