08-24-2025 - Drawing Near by Pastor Adam Bennett

In this study, we explore Jesus' confrontation with the Pharisees. He called them hypocrites, but why? They promoted following the traditions, which is exactly what they did. So where's the hypocrisy? Learning the true meaning of hypocrisy is crucial for learning how to be truly clean before God.

My sermons are the fruit of nearly 30 years of pastoral ministry, biblical counseling, formal seminary training, and a lifelong passion for God's Word. Since childhood, I've been drawn to the beauty and power of expository preaching—opening Scripture verse by verse and applying it to real life. After graduating from Moody Bible Institute, I spent the next 27 years serving as a youth pastor, senior pastor, church planter, and host of the Food For Your Soul radio broadcast. Along the way, I also earned a Master of Sacred Literature and a Doctor of Religious Studies. For more content from D. Richard Ferguson, visit TreasuringGod.com.

The following sermon was chosen as a 'staff-pick' on SermonAudio: Title: Ultimate Good Through Drawing Near to Our Good God Subtitle: 2025 - BJU Bible Conference Speaker: Dr. Mark Minnick Broadcaster: Bob Jones University Event: Special Meeting Date: 2/20/2025 Bible: Psalm 73:28 Length: 40 min.

In this time of worship and reflection, we were reminded that God looks at the heart, not outward appearances. We considered how our perspective on prophecy and eternal judgment impacts the way we live right now. We reflected on the assurance of our identity in Christ, even when we feel unworthy, and we found encouragement to draw near to God in the face of rejection and pain. Through it all, we were led to fix our eyes on God's love, seek intimacy with Him, and live from a place of surrender and confidence in His view of us.

Pastor Kenny Keating teaches from Leviticus 8-10 on the life changing power of moving from casual faith to holy awe, approaching our consuming-fire God who isn't safe-but is always good.

Pastor Paul Schliep teaches from Leviticus 4-5, highlighting the healing power found when Jesus followers confess their sin and bring it to the cross.

Pastor Kenny Keating teaches from Leviticus 2 about how our everyday lives-our work, our routines, even the ordinary moments-can rise like a pleasing aroma to God when we live with gratitude, faithfulness, and devotion.

Doubt is often treated like a dirty word in Christian circles, but Scripture is filled with faithful expressions of it. In Psalm 73, Asaph wrestles with the tension between what he believes about God's goodness and what he sees happening in the world around him. His struggle is honest and raw—but it ultimately leads him not away from God, but toward Him. Small Group Questions1. When have you felt like your “feet had almost slipped” spiritually, as Asaph describes in verse 2? What was the time like?2. Asaph's doubt was fueled by envy of the prosperity of the wicked, what about the prosperity of the wicked tempts you to question God's justice and goodness today?3. Have you walked with anyone through an intense season of doubt? What did you learn about how to do that well and what to avoid?4. What has been a helpful cure for your doubts? Why would going to the sanctuary be a helpful cure? 5. How has God held you fast when your grip has felt weak? Sermon Outline:I. The Rebellion of the Wicked is Futile.II. The Victory of God's Anointed is Certain.III. The Record of God's Faithfulness is Perfect. Sermon Discussion Questions:1. What forms of rebellion against God's rule are most subtle in our culture—and even in our own hearts? 2. Is God's sovereignty the basis for bold, faith-filled action in your life, or a truth you affirm but rarely apply? How might your life look different if you applied this truth to your life each day? How might you feel different?3. What good things are you tempted to trust in instead of trusting in the name of the Lord? Can or should anything be done about that?4. How do Romans 1 and Hebrews 3:12-13 help us understand the progression and danger of unrepentant sin? What role does the church community play in helping one another resist the hardening of the heart?5. How are you intentionally remembering and rehearsing the faithfulness of God in your life? Or, how could you start doing so?

Pastor Kenny Keating teaches from Leviticus 1- showing how God's call to draw near is a call to total surrender, like the burnt offering that was fully consumed with nothing held back, ultimately pointing us to the costly grace of Jesus and a life of wholehearted worship.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“I think we delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment; it is its appointed consummation. It is not out of compliment that lovers keep on telling one another how beautiful they are; the delight is incomplete till it is expressed. It is frustrating to have discovered a new author and not to be able to tell anyone how good he is; to come suddenly, at the turn of the road, upon some mountain valley of unexpected grandeur and then to have to keep silent because the people with you care for it no more than for a tin can in the ditch; to hear a good joke and find no one to share it with. If it were possible for a created soul fully… to ‘appreciate', that is to love and delight in, the worthiest object of all, and simultaneously at every moment to give this delight perfect expression, then that soul would be in supreme beatitude… To see what the doctrine really means, we must suppose ourselves to be in perfect love with God—drunk with, drowned in, dissolved by, that delight which, far from remaining pent up within ourselves as incommunicable, hence hardly tolerable, bliss, flows out from us incessantly again in effortless and perfect expression, our joy no more separable from the praise in which it liberates and utters itself than the brightness a mirror receives is separable from the brightness it sheds. The Scotch catechism says that man's chief end is ‘to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.' But we shall then know that these are the same thing. Fully to enjoy is to glorify. In commanding us to glorify Him, God is inviting us to enjoy Him.”~C. S. Lewis, English theologian and writer, from Reflections on the Psalms“Here are the two best prayers: ‘help me help me help me' and ‘thank you thank you thank you.'”~Anne Lamott, American author, from Traveling Mercies SERMON PASSAGEHebrews 10:19-25 (ESV) 19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Brother Larry's message, "Drawing Near to Christ," emphasizes the importance of a close relationship with God, equating it to wearing the spiritual armor of God and living a "spirit-filled life." He stresses that truly knowing God is the essential element, just as knowing a spouse deepens love. This knowledge, he explains, comes from understanding who God is, what He has done for us, and how He has loved us first. Brother Larry refers to Ephesians 1:18 to highlight Paul's prayer for believers: "That the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints." He explains that once saved, our spiritual eyes are opened to discern God's ways and Satan's tactics, and to understand God's perspective of us. He encourages believers to hunger and thirst after righteousness (Matthew 5:6), mourn over sins, turn to humility, and be poor in spirit to "see God." The study then shifts to a "diagnosis" of what keeps believers from drawing near to God. Brother Larry cites 1 Corinthians 11:28, "But let a man examine himself," and 2 Corinthians 13:5, "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?" as commands to self-examine. He identifies "double-mindedness" as the primary obstacle to drawing near to Christ, referencing James 1:8, "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways." Brother Larry concludes by expressing his prayer that resolving this issue will lead to maturity in Christ, resisting the devil, experiencing joy and peace, and ultimately being victors in the Lord, sensing His presence daily, and dying with a testimony of faith.

Are you ready for the coming of Jesus, evidenced by the oil in your lamp? Listen as Pastor Ray lays out the upcoming events for us on today's Pilgrim's Progress.

Leviticus shaped the community of ancient Israel as they sought to draw near to God and longed for God to draw near to them.

In this Palm Sunday message, Pastor Jason Dunn explores Hebrews 10:19–25, a pivotal passage that transitions from the theological foundations of Christ's priesthood to practical exhortations for the church. Through the imagery of a train journey shared with his twin brother, Pastor Jason illustrates how many of us feel spiritually hesitant—bound by conscience, shame, or fear. Yet, Hebrews reminds us that we have confident access to God through the blood of Jesus and a faithful advocate in Christ.The sermon unfolds around three central imperatives: draw near, hold fast, and stir up. Believers are invited to approach God with assurance because Christ has cleansed their hearts and secured their access. In holding fast to our confession of hope, we are reminded that our endurance does not rest on our strength, but on God's faithfulness. And finally, we are exhorted to stir up one another toward love and good works—something that only happens in the context of regular, intentional Christian community. Pastor Jason closes with a vision of the church as a place of encouragement, a relational home that combats the isolation and spiritual drift of the modern "de-churched" world, and he calls the congregation to reengage in relationships that reflect the love and advocacy of Jesus.

In this sermon, Bro. Steve Lammons shares a heartfelt message about the struggles of life, emphasizing the importance of faith and resilience in the face of adversity. He reflects on personal stories of pain and loss, drawing parallels with biblical figures like Joseph, Moses, and David, who faced their own trials yet found purpose and strength through their faith in God. Sturgis encourages listeners to draw near to God, reminding them of the foundational truths that provide hope and comfort amidst life's challenges.TakeawaysLife can be painful, and many people are hurting.God is still doing great things, even when we don't see it.Sad circumstances can turn around quickly, often for good.The stories of Joseph, Moses, and Daniel illustrate resilience.David's faith in Psalm 63 shows trust amidst trials.Grace is still available at the cross for salvation.The Holy Spirit empowers believers through hardships.Heaven is a promise for those who trust in God.Justice will ultimately prevail in the world.Drawing near to God is essential in difficult times.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Personal Reflections04:24 The Story of Joseph: From Pain to Purpose14:29 Examples of Resilience: Moses and Daniel19:18 David's Faith Amidst Trials27:20 Foundational Truths for Hope31:23 Drawing Near to God in Difficult TimesKeywordsfaith, resilience, hope, God, trials, justice, scripture, personal stories, encouragement, church

A new MP3 sermon from Grace Community Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Are You Drawing Near to God—or Content at a Distance? Subtitle: James Speaker: Tim Conway Broadcaster: Grace Community Church Event: Sunday Service Date: 4/6/2025 Bible: James 4:6-8 Length: 54 min.

Many Christians live content at a distance from God—satisfied with formality, unmoved by His absence, unaware that nearness has been offered. In this sermon, Tim Conway preaches from James 4:8, "Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you," calling us to wake up to the stunning reality of this promise. This is no light invitation. It is a summons into the manifest presence of the living God—a call to approach with humility, honesty, and holy expectation.

Hebrews 10:19-22 — In this sermon, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones explores the topic of prayer and its challenges, focusing on Hebrews 10:19-22. The preacher begins by addressing the context of the epistle to the Hebrews, written to Jewish Christians who were becoming discouraged in their faith. He emphasizes the importance of prayer in the Christian life and highlights the difficulties that can arise when attempting to pray. Dr. Lloyd-Jones outlines three main obstacles to prayer: entering into God's holy presence, dealing with an evil conscience, and overcoming a sense of unworthiness due to sin's pollution. He argues that these difficulties make prayer one of the most challenging aspects of the Christian life. The sermon then presents the solution to these challenges through the "new and living way" provided by Jesus Christ. This way is described as new, living, and based on the foundation of Christ's incarnation, perfect obedience, atoning death, resurrection, and heavenly intercession. Dr. Lloyd-Jones stresses that this doctrinal understanding is essential for effective prayer. He explains how this new way addresses the three main obstacles to prayer: it is God's own appointed method, it satisfies the demands of God's law and our conscience, and it provides cleansing from sin's pollution. Dr Lloyd-Jones also touches on how this approach helps believers overcome accusations from Satan. In conclusion, Dr. Lloyd-Jones exhorts his listeners to rely solely on Jesus Christ and His finished work for access to God in prayer, rather than on human efforts, rituals, or earthly intermediaries. He emphasizes the importance of understanding and embracing this "new and living way" in order to approach God with boldness and assurance, especially in times of uncertainty and potential persecution.
