2:56 In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus does the rich man have a physical body in the intermediate state? 6:17 How do you suggest that we conduct a men's Bible study? 10:30 What is your opinion of the midterm political elections as a Christian? 24:43 Why in the Millennial Kingdom do the Jews have to adhere to the Old Testament ceremonies? 40:29 How do I know I've been saved? 47:30 Is repentance a condition for salvation and is it considered a work according to dispensationalism?

In Chapter 1 of Heaven on Earth, Thomas Brooks argues that believers can attain a firm, well-grounded assurance of their salvation in this life, basing his claim on ten core biblical arguments. He demonstrates that assurance is built on universal gospel truths rather than private revelations, that scripture's primary purpose and promises are designed to foster certainty, and that God has placed internal "springs" of assurance—such as faith, hope, a good conscience, and love for believers—within every Christian. Furthermore, Brooks highlights that God actively commands the pursuit of assurance, provides practical means (like self-examination and the Lord's Supper) to reach it, and calls believers to constant spiritual joy, which requires knowing one's standing with God. Ultimately, he refutes theological systems that promote perpetual doubt, affirming that God's children can rest securely in His unchangeable love and covenant promises.

Justin Peters offers Todd Bentley an urgent appeal to repent and trust in Jesus Christ alone. Drawing on Hebrews 9:27 and Matthew 7:21–23, he warns against false assurance and addresses Bentley's teaching, claims of supernatural experiences, and public ministry. Justin explains why religious activity and restoration to ministry cannot replace genuine repentance and saving faith. He presents the gospel of Jesus Christ, truly God and truly man, who lived in perfect obedience, died for sinners, and rose bodily from the grave. The episode closes with a call to turn from sin, trust Christ alone, and bear the fruit of genuine repentance.

This message is from the Sovereign Outreach 4 Grace / SO4G 2026 Sunday Morning Messages - Sermon Audio Broadcast Series. This message was delivered by Elder, Brian Helton at the Lakeville Baptist Church in Salyersville, Kentucky. The title of this sermon was 'Behold What Manner of Love', the key text for this message was taken from 1 John 3:1-10, along with several other passages.

This sermon explores the pattern of prayer demonstrated by Daniel in Daniel 2, emphasizing that God's answers to crisis are not hidden but revealed through faithful dependence on Him. The message outlines three movements: a partnership in prayer where believers jointly seek God's mercy, a provision from heaven where God answers specifically and on His perfect timing, and a psalm of praise where believers return to God in gratitude rather than rushing to their next task. The preacher highlights the importance of corporate prayer, specific requests, and the assurance that God is the sovereign revealer of secrets who acts for the benefit of His people. By connecting the historical context of Babylon with the modern experience of the church, the sermon encourages believers to trust in God's sovereignty, share their burdens with the body of Christ, and glorify Him for His timely and precise interventions.

Christ's Suffering Under Pontius Pilate I. The Suffering of the Mediator II. The Suffering Under Pilate III. The Strengthening of Our Assurance Luke 23:1-33; Lord's Day 15

Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. (Hebrews 7:25) ~~~~ This sermon was preached at Providence Chapel East Peckham on a Lord's Day afternoon. ~~~~ *1/ To whom "he is able." 2/ Why "he is able." 3/ What "he is able" to do.* **Sermon summary:** This sermon examines the declaration in Hebrews 7:25 that Christ is able to save those who come to God through Him to the uttermost. The exposition begins by identifying Melchizedek as a type of Christ, highlighting the union of kingly and priestly offices and the eternal, unchangeable nature of His priesthood which supersedes the Levitical law. The message emphasises that this ability is grounded in Christ's incarnation, sinless life, and substitutionary death, which qualified Him to be the perfect advocate for believers. It further explores the practical implications of this truth, assuring believers that Christ is able to succour them in temptation, keep their souls secure, and ultimately resurrect their bodies. The tone is pastoral and encouraging, urging the audience to rely on Christ's sufficiency rather than their own strength, as He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that can be asked or thought.

We need the Father's witness and the Son's and Spirit's to give us assurance of our salvation

This sermon examines the arrest of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, highlighting the stark contrast between human failure and divine faithfulness. It addresses the themes of religious hypocrisy and the tendency of believers to abandon Christ during times of trial, using the flight of the disciples and the young man as illustrations of human weakness. The central message asserts that Jesus willingly submitted to betrayal and abandonment to fulfill God's sovereign plan of redemption, bearing the penalty for sin so that believers might be set free. The preacher emphasizes that while humans are prone to falter and seek comfort in worldly things, Jesus remains the unchanging source of identity and security. The sermon concludes with a call to reject self-reliance and instead find assurance in the finished work of Christ, who never leaves nor forsakes His people.

This sermon argues that eternal life is not merely a future reward or an endless existence, but is intrinsically bound to the person of Jesus Christ. By examining passages such as 1 John 5 and John 14, the message clarifies that to have the Son is to possess life, refuting the worldly view that separates the giver from the gift. The text emphasizes that Christ, who is life itself, willingly entered death to secure redemption, demonstrating that the value of His sacrifice rests on His infinite identity rather than the duration of His suffering. Consequently, believers are assured of their security because they are united to a Savior who lives forever, making their eternal life as secure as Christ Himself. The central intent is to shift the believer's focus from their own performance or future hopes to the present reality of being in Christ, who is the ultimate treasure and the source of all glory.

The people of Judah and Jerusalem were going to be taken into captivity, but the LORD assured them through the prophet Jeremiah that they would return to their country after the captivity.
