Recorded sermons from Direct Baptist Church regarding Jesus, life, culture, scripture, marriage, salvation, and more.
What happens to you when you die? Do you go immediately to heaven? Do you stay in heaven forever? What about the Day of Judgment mentioned in the Bible? What about the fact that we will one day be resurrected like Jesus was? What about the new heaven and new earth that comes at the end of time? How does all this work? If you’ve ever wondered, check out this lesson.
This sermon answers the two most important questions ever. "Who is Jesus?" and "What is the Gospel?" These questions contain the central components of the entire Christian faith. See God's answer in Paul's first letter to the Corinthian church.
Many Christians view God as being disappointed with them or they feel as though they must continually work and strive to keep God's favor. In this sermon we see how God has no more wrath toward believers because that wrath was poured out on Christ.
What is the role of men and women in the Bible? What is feminism and is it biblical? What is sexism and is it biblical? Can a woman be a pastor? Can she serve in the military? Can a guy be a stay at home dad? In this lesson we look at God's command to the church at Corinth regarding gender equality and gender distinction.
Although we had a glitch on the sound recording for this sermon (hence it's rough tone), this lesson talks about how our entire lives are meant to be lived for God's glory and how we can redeem culture for Christ.
Idolatry is not merely bowing down to a statue, it is finding your ultimate satisfaction in something other than Christ. We commit idolatry by loving things more than Jesus, and we do it all the time. Find out how we can identify these idols in our lives and turn back to Jesus in Paul's first letter to the Corinthians
How does the Prince of Darkness operate? In this sermon you'll get to see some ways Satan/demons tempt and attack God's people and how they can be avoided through trusting Jesus.
In this sermon see how Paul engages culture and how Jesus befriends non-Christians so that they may become believers. Also, hear objections to cultural engagement defined and addressed.
The way evangelism is done in contemporary, American culture is far from the way either Paul or Jesus do it. In this sermon, find out how we can live our whole lives on mission for Christ and learn to share our faith in a non-awkward way.
We as Christians have certain liberties that we can partake in as long as they are not sin, they don't become idols, and we don't cause our brother to stumble. See what the Bible says about dancing, beer, tattoos, and more in this sermon.
In this sermon, see the heart and character of Jesus toward those who seek his mercy as he forgives a sinful woman. See her response to Jesus contrasted with the response of the religious leaders of Christ’s day.
Along with the resurrection, Jesus' death stands at the center of the Christian faith. Why did Jesus have to die? What did his death accomplish?
This popular text is often taken to just be about the "prodigal son" who runs off and lives in sin. However, there is a second prodigal and a second son that the story is also about. See how Jesus makes this story about a father who saves both those who are immoral and those who are moral, as both need forgiveness.
In this sermon we examine the book of Hosea. In the book of Hosea God tells a prophet to marry a woman who will cheat on him as it represents what God's people do to him. See God's loving response to his cheating wife.
This sermon is a follow-up to "Predestination 1" which was taught the week before. In this sermon, we try to address questions and misconceptions about this biblical teaching. Does God not predestine people for salvation? Does this teaching hinder evangelism? How do I know that I'm elect? If you have questions like these, tune in.
Did I choose this sermon or did this sermon choose me? Find out what the Bible teaches regarding predestination and stay tuned for "Predestination 2" coming next week. This sermon will provide an introduction to this topic and the second predestination sermon will answer questions left unanswered here.
Is mankind naturally good, bad, or neutral? In this sermon we examine the doctrine of Total Depravity. This text teaches that we were unable and unwilling to choose to follow Christ because of our sinful nature and rather needed God to come and change us so that we might believe in him. It also shows that mankind cannot do anything to merit God's favor and that salvation is a free gift given through faith.

God doesn't hate sex, he hates sin. See what the Bible says about sexually pleasing your spouse in Paul's letter to the Corinthian church.
