This sermon uses the letter to the Church of Sardis from Revelation to warn against the spiritual danger of being a "reputationally alive but spiritually dead" church. The message emphasizes that the only cure for this complacency is to "wake up" to one's spiritual reality, strengthen gospel conviction in Christ's worthiness alone, and repent of self-righteousness.

This sermon uses the awe-inspiring vision of Jesus in Revelation to emphasize that He is the Alpha and the Omega—the uncreated beginning and the ultimate end for whom all of creation exists. The message highlights that Jesus’s divine power means there will be a coming judgment, and His sacrifice on the cross is the only way believers, who were made for His glory, can be reconciled to Him and live without perishing.

This sermon argues that living an unhurried life is possible when we shift our focus from personal ambition to serving God's purpose and others. The message emphasizes that true freedom from the compulsion to hurry comes from a secure identity as a child of God, rooted in the foundational trust that our Heavenly Father is good and has already demonstrated His love for us through Jesus Christ.

This sermon explains that Jesus's perfect obedience, particularly during his temptations, not only fulfilled the law on our behalf but also freed us from the bondage of sin. The message highlights that a true understanding of Christ's willingness to suffer for us inspires a transformed heart that desires to obey God out of love and gratitude, rather than mere obligation.

This sermon explains that humanity, as image-bearers of God, is meant to reflect His greatness and love, but our inherent self-centeredness prevents us from doing so. The message highlights Jesus as the ultimate model of humility, who, despite being God, willingly emptied himself by becoming a servant and dying on the cross, providing the path to true transformation and the ability to reflect God's image.

This sermon explains that genuine, enduring faith is not achieved by focusing on one's own efforts, but by "beholding the Lamb of God," Jesus Christ, as the ultimate object of our faith. The message highlights that by understanding Jesus's sacrifice as the means to satisfy God's wrath and judgment, we are empowered to live a transformed life of grace, forgiveness, and love.

This sermon demonstrates that enduring faith is a "hyper-standing" against cultural currents and personal crises. The message highlights that Moses's endurance came from considering God's eternal reward, obeying despite the cost, and seeing the invisible God, a reality now made tangible through Jesus Christ, the "greater Moses" who endured far more for our redemption.

This sermon, using the life of Abraham from Hebrews 11, teaches that steadfast faith is not about mastering circumstances but about responding to them with resilience and a focus on God's truth. The message emphasizes that our ability to live with courage and generosity on earth is rooted in the assurance of a future heavenly citizenship and the unwavering faithfulness of God, who fulfills His promises despite our failures.

This sermon encourages parents to abandon worldly goals and instead focus on raising children who love and obey Jesus. It teaches that this is achieved through a gospel-centered method of parenting—shepherding the child's heart, not just correcting behavior—and by parents themselves modeling a secure identity as a child of God.

This sermon explains that an inconsistent, "yo-yo" faith is often caused by prioritizing feelings, choosing diversion, and pleasing people, rather than walking with God in a disciplined manner. The message emphasizes that the foundation for a consistent, God-pleasing walk is not personal effort but the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ, which frees and motivates believers to pursue a vibrant, daily relationship with Him.

This sermon argues that genuine faith is not about self-reliance but about living a life where Jesus, not ourselves, is the hero of our story. Using the example of Cain and Abel, the message highlights that while we are like Cain in our sinfulness, Jesus, the "truer and better Abel," offered a perfect sacrifice to free us from our self-centeredness and empower us to live by faith, trusting God with all that we are.

This sermon introduces a series on faith by defining it through three stages: comprehension, conviction, and commitment, arguing that true, enduring faith culminates in a life lived for God. The message emphasizes that while everyone has faith, its strength and stability depend on its object, and that genuine faith in Jesus Christ should lead to a transformed life of action and obedience.
