This sermon examines the spiritual privileges of the nation of Israel, including their redemption, sustenance, and divine presence, to illustrate that spiritual privilege does not guarantee faithfulness. The central message warns believers against the sinful practices of lust, idolatry, fornication, and murmuring, which led to the judgment of the majority of the Exodus generation. By contrasting Israel's experiences with the completed work of Christ, the text emphasizes that believers are called to a higher standard of obedience and humility. The preacher urges the audience to view Scripture as a pattern for admonition, steering their lives by the light of God's Word rather than their own perceptions. Ultimately, the message calls for vigilance in the Christian race, urging believers to remain faithful and avoid the danger of becoming complacent or spiritually stagnant.

Teniendo los pecados groseros en nuestro pasado, realmente no es un problema para el Cristiano. Pero si es el patrón de nuestra vida presente, es una evidencia del auto engaño.

Who gets to define love for God's children? In Ephesians 5:3–5, Paul exposes the counterfeit forms of love the world offers and calls believers to let the Father define what true love is. Building on the gospel-centered love of Ephesians 5:1–2, this message contrasts Christ's sacrificial love with fornication, uncleanness, covetousness, corrupt speech, and the old identities of those outside Christ. Because believers have already received the true love of God, they are called to reject counterfeit love, walk in purity, and live as a witness of the love they have received.

Verse by verse exposition through the book of Hebrews. (Sermon also includes the reading and exhortation from the Lord's Table liturgy) Heb 13:4 Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. Mal 2:14 Yet you say, "For what reason?" Because the Lord has been witness Between you and the wife of your youth, With whom you have dealt treacherously; Yet she is your companion And your wife by covenant. 15 But did He not make them one, Having a remnant of the Spirit? And why one? He seeks godly offspring. Therefore take heed to your spirit, And let none deal treacherously with the wife of his youth.

I. The Issue II. The Command III. The Motive Read: 1 Corinthians 6:9-7:16 Text: Lord's Day 41

Pastor Ken explores the second commandment of marriage, which is to reject all forms of infidelity, defining fidelity as a strict adherence to the original covenant of marriage. This message unpacks Hebrews 13:4 to establish that marriage must be honorable and the marriage bed undefiled, reflecting God's absolute faithfulness to His people. It distinguishes between fornication and adultery, highlighting the spiritual and relational dangers of sexual immorality, with a specific focus on the pervasive issue of pornography and its impact on brain chemistry and marital intimacy. Pastor Ken urges believers to take a no-tolerance stance by practicing digital transparency, establishing firm boundaries, and relying on the Holy Spirit's power to overcome temptation. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a proactive commitment to purity, urging couples to view their marriage as a sacred reflection of Christ's love for the church.

This sermon examines the theological meaning of delivering a believer to Satan as a form of church discipline, rooted in 1 Corinthians 5. It distinguishes between struggling with sin and persisting in unrepentant, unacknowledged offenses such as fornication, covetousness, and heresy, which require exclusion from the fellowship. The teaching contrasts the spiritual protection found within the church, described as a hedge of God's care, with the domain of Satan, where the excluded individual is left vulnerable to spiritual attack. This discipline is presented not as an act of malice but as a necessary measure to protect the congregation from corruption and to prompt the offender toward repentance and restoration. The sermon emphasizes that the ultimate goal of such severe measures is the salvation of the spirit and the preservation of the church's purity.

This sermon examines the letter to the church in Thyatira, highlighting the tension between their commendable works of charity and service and the severe error of tolerating a false teacher likened to Jezebel. The central theological argument asserts that this 'Jezebel' represents a woman who usurps authority by teaching in the church, violating the biblical mandate for women to learn in silence and not to hold authority over men, as established in 1 Timothy and 1 Corinthians. The preacher identifies her doctrine as promoting fornication and the consumption of food sacrificed to idols, equating these acts with spiritual adultery and fellowship with devils. Drawing on the Old Testament narrative of Jezebel's influence over King Ahab, the message warns that such corruption can destroy a church despite its outward good works. The sermon concludes with a call to repentance, urging believers to hold fast to sound doctrine and reject the 'depths of Satan' to avoid divine judgment.

This sermon examines the sixth trumpet judgment in Revelation, focusing on the release of four bound angels from the Euphrates River to execute divine wrath. The exposition highlights God's sovereign control over historical events and the specific timing of these judgments, contrasting the mercy of the golden altar with the inevitable consequence of rejecting grace. The text describes a massive, fiery army that slays a third of humanity, symbolizing the devastating nature of end-times conflict. Despite this catastrophic loss of life, the remaining population refuses to repent of idolatry, murder, sorcery, fornication, and theft. The message serves as a convicting warning that humanity's persistent rebellion against God leads to severe judgment, urging listeners to secure their salvation through faith in Jesus Christ before it is too late.

Country music is the only genre that talks about getting laid and getting saved in the same song. But isn't that a bit blasphemous – and should we even listen to that kind of thing? Kevin Swanson speaks with Bill Jack about how Americana turned gay…how "Christians" like Dolly Parton and Carrie Underwood helped…and where to draw the line in consuming the sorts of music they helped popularize. What you'll hear: - The 52-year history of glazing fornication and homosexuality as fun and judgment-free (and how Dolly Parton was at the forefront of this back in 2005) - How the female artists have gone from most conservative, to most revolutionary, over the past 20 years - How music lured us into cultural revolution by making it seem attractive and desirable - The difference between excellent art, like John Lennon's "Imagine," and art worthy of immersing yourself in for enjoyment - Practical ways to decide what to listen to (and what not to), including ideas like printing out lyrics to examine them with your kids Got a topic you want us to cover?
