It is in our nature to judge others and see how we measure up. We all have our tape measures and yardsticks, but in Matthew 7:1-6, Jesus says that a yardstick will become a boomerang. In this message, Adrian Rogers gives a word of warning to those who judge others harshly and offers insight on how to discern right and wrong through merciful eyes.

There is no fooling anyone. The golden facades and outer appearances we put on cannot hide a decaying spiritual life.

In this message from Matthew 5, Adrian Rogers shows us how Jesus fulfills the Word of God prophetically, practically, and perfectly.

In Matthew 5:13, Jesus calls His followers “salt of the earth.” In this passage, Adrian Rogers explains the importance of salt in Jesus' time and in our own, so we can better understand our role as salt in this desperate world.

In this message, Adrian Rogers reveals who among us could be holding back revival, and how to pray for fire to fall from Heaven again.

Sermon Overview Scripture Reference: Matthew 25:21 God preserves the faithful (see Psalm 31:23). Faithfulness is God's measurement for our blessing. One day, our reward, or lack of it, will be according to our faithfulness. Faithfulness means integrity, loyalty, and steadfastness. In Matthew 23, we see what, why, and how to be faithful men and women of God. Matthew 23:21 says, “His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'” A man of God is faithful to family. He keeps his promises. He is faithful in his finances. He knows that how he handles money is an indication of how he handles spiritual treasure. He gives proportionally, as God prospers him. He is faithful in his friendships. Friends are bound to fail us, stumble, and do us wrong; but a faithful man is a good friend, who gives the benefit of the doubt and overlooks offenses. He is faithful to attend church. The Body of Christ owes each other fearful loyalty; for the Lord's sake, a faithful man does not forsake the assembly (see Hebrews 10:25). He is faithful to the Word of God. To pass truth onto the next generation, a faithful man understands he has to be firmly rooted in Scripture. We ought to be faithful in these areas because Jesus is faithful to us. He is faithful to us in our failure, our temptation, and our falling. He is faithful to us to the very end, so we can be faithful to the end. We must be faithful in the small things because that is where success or failure truly lie. Adrian Rogers says, “Do you know what the big things in life are made up of? Little acts, little words, little thoughts.” We must be faithful in the secret things; Adrian Rogers says, “What you are in secret is what you are, nothing more or nothing less.” And we must be faithful in the sacred things; meet with God daily, fully committed, abiding in Him. Apply it to your life Yield to God, and ask Him to make you faithful in every area of your life. No amount of resolution or gritting your teeth will make you a faithful man of God. It comes from abiding in Jesus and showing up to meet Him every day.

Sermon Overview Scripture Reference: Acts 10:34 Would you be prepared to share the light of the Gospel the moment someone asks about it? In Acts 10, Simon Peter was invited into the home of Cornelius, a Roman officer, to share his faith with him and his household. Acts 10:34-35 says, “Then Peter opened his mouth and said: ‘In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.'” Peter, a Jew, preached the message of salvation to the first Gentile, claiming that the door of salvation is wide: anyone who wants to enter may come. But the way is very narrow: Jesus is the only way to Heaven. If we are not saved by Jesus alone, we are not saved at all. The evidence of Jesus Christ has not changed over time. The same testimony Peter gave to Cornelius is our testimony today. Peter's threefold testimony reveals how we can share the light of Jesus with others. First, Peter gave his personal witness account as a saint. Having walked with Jesus and witnessed Him firsthand, Peter had unmatched confidence in the virtuous life, vicarious death, and victorious resurrection of Christ. Adrian Rogers says, “A Christian with a glowing witness is worth a library full of arguments.” Peter's second line of evidence was the prophetic witness of the Scriptures. Acts 10:43 says, “To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins.” The Old Testament also bore witness that every prophecy about the Messiah—more than 300—was fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ. It is an absolute mathematical impossibility that these Scriptures could be fulfilled apart from divine inspiration and the deity of Jesus Christ. Finally, Peter had the persuasive witness of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit of God anointed Peter, so that his words would convince and convict Cornelius and his family. We are not waiting on the Holy Spirit—as Believers, God has already sent Him to strengthen and empower us to witness to others. Together, Peter's personal witness, Scripture's fulfilled prophecy, and the Spirit's persuasion provoked the Gentile Pentecost, proclaiming that the Gospel was for everyone, even us! Apply it to your life Are you confident to share what Jesus Christ has done in your life? Have you asked God to anoint you with His Spirit, so that He may convict others through your testimony?

Sermon Overview Scripture Reference: 2 Corinthians 5 Our achievements in life are impelled by the drive behind them. If we want to be soul winners for the cause of Christ, the apostle Paul offers six mighty motivations in 2 Corinthians 5. First, we see the soul winner's compulsion: “Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him…” (2 Corinthians 5:9). Our goal is to please God; if we are not bringing souls to Christ, we are not acceptable to God. We also recognize our compensation: “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10). We will be compensated for our soul-winning work at the judgment seat of Christ. And whatever reward He gives us will never see corruption. Third, remember the soul winner's conviction: “Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men...” (2 Corinthians 5:11). Paul reminds us of what it means for a soul to die unredeemed, destined for Hell; he understood the terror of the Lord. We are also motivated by our compassion: “For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; or if we are of sound mind, it is for you...” (2 Corinthians 5:13). Adrian Rogers says, “What motivates me is not my love for people; it is my love for Jesus. Yes, I love people, but the chief motivation of my life is His love for me and, therefore, His love through me.” We remember our confidence: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17). As Christians, we are confident that when we lead a soul to Christ, he will become a new creature. Every person is a potential brother or sister in the faith. Finally, we read of the soul winner's commission: “Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation…” (2 Corinthians 5:18). We are saved to bring others to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. We are ambassadors of the King of kings, appointed and anointed by God Himself. Apply it to your life Are you motivated, today, to win souls for Jesus Christ? Remember these six mighty motivations as you prayerfully and boldly share your faith.

Our nation is in a battle for values; the morals and ethics that made this nation great are eroding before us. In this message, Adrian Rogers shares an eerily similar sad case of vanishing values from Judges 17.

The story of Samson is a bundle of contradictions. His story is not ultimately about his physical, mental, and spiritual strength; rather, it is about the high cost of low living.

The crisis of our nation concerns leadership. We are in desperate need of good, godly leadership. Judges 9:8-15 tells the story of a pitiful politician and a nation in disarray.

America did not just happen; America was a gift from God. However, it seems as though the virtues and values upon which this nation was built have been trampled. In this message, Adrian Rogers uses the clear warning in Psalm 78 to present three ways we can give hope to the generation to come.
