  • What Annihilationism Gets Wrong and Why It Matters

    What Annihilationism Gets Wrong and Why It Matters
    Dec 17 2025
    Part 2 of the series on Eternal Punishment responds to annihilationist claims by examining them through Scripture, language, theology, and church history. It shows that terms like "destroy" and "perish" in context do not imply extinction but conscious ruin, and texts like Matthew 25:46 and Revelation 14 clearly teach eternal, ongoing punishment. The doctrine of conditional immortality is shown to misrepresent both the biblical teaching on the soul and the historic Christian witness. The message concludes with pastoral clarity: hell is real, judgment is just, and Christ is the only sufficient refuge.

  • Whatever It Takes: Help Is on the Way

    Whatever It Takes: Help Is on the Way
    Dec 14 2025
    Hebrews 2 shows us the gospel as God's ultimate "whatever it takes" rescue: the eternal Son took our flesh and blood so He could stand with us in life and die for us in judgment. By His death He shattered the devil's accusing power, broke the lifelong slavery of the fear of death, and opened the way for sinners to be brought near to God as forgiven children. And because He is truly man and truly God, He is a merciful and faithful High Priest who satisfies God's justice for our sins and still helps the weary, the suffering, the tempted, and the fearful today.

  • What Did Jesus Actually Teach About Hell?

    What Did Jesus Actually Teach About Hell?
    Dec 10 2025
    Many today insist that a loving God could never allow eternal conscious punishment, and that the Bible really teaches annihilation instead. In this teaching, we open the key passages on hell and ask a straightforward question: if we just let Jesus and the apostles speak, what do they actually say? If you have ever wrestled with how God's love and God's justice fit together, this is for you.

  • Counted Righteous: Why Imputation Matters

    Counted Righteous: Why Imputation Matters
    Dec 7 2025
    This sermon returns to the courtroom of Romans 3 to show how a holy God can justify the ungodly and still remain just, through the wrath-bearing cross and the imputed righteousness of Christ. It explains why redefining justification as simply "who is in the covenant people" and denying imputation does not just tweak an emphasis but effectively guts the gospel Paul proclaims. And it presses this truth into the heart, showing how Christ's counted righteousness gives trembling believers real assurance in life, in suffering, and at the hour of death.

  • “I Prayed the Prayer.” Am I Really Saved?

    “I Prayed the Prayer.” Am I Really Saved?
    Nov 30 2025
    Many of us were told, "Just pray the prayer and you're in." But what does Scripture say about those who once profess faith and then walk away? In this message from Romans 3, 1 John 2, and John 8, we look at cheap "once saved, always saved" theology, real justification by faith, and how to know whether our assurance is grounded in Christ or in a memory.

  • The Day You Hand God Back His Glory

    The Day You Hand God Back His Glory
    Nov 26 2025
    Paul's habit of thanking God whenever he sees faith, love, and endurance in believers shows that he believes God Himself is the true source, sustainer, and finisher of their salvation.

  • The Awe-Inspiring Creative Glory of God

    The Awe-Inspiring Creative Glory of God
    Nov 23 2025
    In this sermon on Genesis 1:14–19, Warren Smith lifts our eyes from three short words, "and the stars," to the staggering scale of God's universe and the glory that it reveals. Using simple illustrations of distances in space and modern discoveries of galaxies beyond number, he helps us feel how effortless creation was for God and how small we truly are. He then shows from John 1, Colossians 1, Hebrews 1, and Philippians 2 that this entire cosmos was created through, for, and by Jesus Christ, who not only sustains every atom but humbled Himself to take on flesh and die for His people. The message closes with a call to bow the knee to this awe-inspiring Savior in humility, faith, and love, resting in the certainty that those who belong to Him are loved beyond their ability to comprehend.

  • The Parable of the Elephant and the Blind Men

    The Parable of the Elephant and the Blind Men
    Nov 19 2025
    If you have ever felt pressured to keep quiet about Jesus because "everyone has their own truth," this message is for you. We will look at the popular story of the blind men and the elephant, see where it secretly goes wrong, and hear again how God has spoken plainly in His word and in His Son. The aim is to help you breathe easier, love people deeply, and be unashamed of Christ in a culture that treats conviction as the one unforgivable sin.
