Sermon Outline: Jude 1:1-2 (The Marks of A True Christian) The CalledIntroductionNew series: walking through the book of Jude (one chapter, but deeply relevant).Warnings: false teachers infiltrating churches with watered-down doctrine.Today's focus: Jude 1:1 — identity, calling, and assurance in Christ.1. Jude's Identity (v.1a)“Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James…”Servant/Bondservant of ChristTerm also used by Paul and James.Means total surrender — either a slave to Christ or a slave to self.Slave to self = never satisfied; slave to Christ = true fulfillment.Brother of JamesJude establishes credibility—linked to James, half-brother of Jesus.Authority matters in warnings against false teachers.Application: Where is your identity rooted? In self or in Christ?2. The Audience (v.1b)“To those who are called…”The Called of GodGod has always called His people (Isaiah 43:1–2).Christians are chosen, redeemed, and set apart to glorify God.Encouragement of SalvationHebrews 7:25 — Jesus lives to intercede for us.Eternal Advocate = eternal security.Application: If you are in Christ, you are called, known, and held by God.3. The Assurance (v.1c)“…beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ.”Loved by God the FatherHis love is the foundation of our calling.Kept for Jesus ChristBelievers are safe and secure in Him.Eternal security isn't man's idea—it's God's promise.Warning: This only applies to true believers.Shallow prayers, church attendance, or “asking Jesus into your heart” ≠ true conversion.True salvation = repentance, faith, and surrender to Christ alone.Application: Don't play church—get serious about eternity.4. The Mission of the Church (Colossians 1:28)Proclaim Christ — the center of all preaching.Warn everyone — judgment for sin is real.Teach maturity — help believers grow into Christlikeness.Application:Assurance flows from maturity.Childlike faith ≠ childish faith.Open your Bible. Read. Obey. Grow.5. The Danger of Neglecting the WordMany avoid Scripture because it confronts sin.Comfortable flesh resists God's truth.True peace and assurance come only by:Making war on sin.Trusting Christ's finished work on the cross.Walking daily in obedience to His Word.ConclusionJude begins with encouragement: called, loved, and kept in Christ.But this only belongs to true believers.Eternity is real—don't play games with your soul.Main Call: Open your Bible. Trust Christ. Live as one who is called, loved, and kept.
Don't Waste Our OpportunityText: 2 Corinthians 5:10–210. The Reality of the Judgment Seat (v. 10)For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.Believers' judgment is not for condemnation (Romans 8:1 makes that clear).This judgment is unto reward—the Bema Seat of Christ.Rewards will vary; greater faithfulness in following Christ will result in greater reward.This reality should fuel urgency in how we live and serve now.1. The Fear of the Lord Fuels Our Mission (v. 11)Right View of God – Most people, even believers, lack a healthy, reverent fear of God.RC Sproul: “A healthy, reverent fear of Christ's displeasure at the choices we often make is a healthy corrective.”Fear leads to wise choices – A balanced, reverential fear inspires holiness and accountability.Persuading Others – Not manipulation, but heartfelt appeal to accept the gospel.2. Why We're Here: Making Disciples (v. 11b, Col. 1:28)Our mission: Proclaim Christ, warn, and teach with wisdom.Goal: Present everyone mature in Christ.God knows our motives—half-hearted service is not hidden from Him.3. Avoid Ministry Pride (v. 12)Not about programs or showing off ministry “success.”John MacArthur: False teachers take pride in outward appearance, not sincere hearts.Our focus: advancing Christ's Kingdom, not our image.4. Willing to Be Called Crazy (v. 13–15)Paul was seen as extreme—so will we be if we truly live for Christ.The love of Christ controls us—His death changes everything.True disciples stop living for themselves and live for the One who died and rose again.Until the cross becomes personal, our lives and loyalties won't change.5. A New Way of Seeing (v. 16–17)Salvation is a total transformation—we are new creations.The old is gone; the new has come.New life means new priorities, new purpose, new mission.6. Entrusted with the Message (v. 18–19)We are reconciled to God through Christ.God has given us the ministry of reconciliation—to tell others they can be forgiven.We are message carriers with eternal news.7. Ambassadors for the King (v. 20–21)Ambassador role: We speak on Christ's behalf—eternal stakes are on the line.This is not a casual invitation—it's a divine summons to be reconciled to God.Our mission field is not just overseas—it's across the street.8. Call to ActionStop wasting time on what doesn't matter eternally.Get serious about evangelism and discipleship.Have a big vision for your church—if you don't, who will?
I Will Build My Church Series
In this podcast Nathan Potts preached on Colossians 1:24-2:5
A study of John 1:35-50
The Church has entered a historic moment—and you, Catholic man, have a mission. In this episode of The Manly Catholic, we reflect on the election of Pope Leo XIV, the first American Pope in the history of the Church, and the profound implications this moment holds for Catholic men across the world. This isn't just a historical event—it's a spiritual challenge.With clarity, conviction, and a deep love for the Bride of Christ, Pope Leo XIV comes out of the gates with power. Drawing from the charism of the Augustinians and inspired by Pope Leo XIII, our new Holy Father is already taking bold, countercultural stands. In just his first week, he infallibly declared that marriage is between one man and one woman and proclaimed the family as the nucleus of civilization. He is not holding back—and neither should we.We are facing our own Industrial Revolution: Artificial Intelligence, the breakdown of the family, confusion about human identity and sexuality, and an increasing rejection of moral truth. But like Pope Leo XIII before him, Leo XIV is standing in the breach—and he's calling us to do the same.Key Takeaway: Live your faith publicly and boldly. Do not hide behind silence or comfort. Proclaim Christ with your life, especially in your home. Begin by strengthening your marriage and leading your family in sacrificial love. That is where the Church is rebuilt.References & Products Mentioned:Pope Leo XIII's encyclicals, especially Rerum NovarumThe St. Michael the Archangel PrayerSt. Augustine's quote: “Our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”The “Room of Tears” tradition in papal historyThe Gospel of John 13:34–35Catechism of the Catholic Church (sections on papal infallibility, marriage, and the Church)Final Charge: Pope Leo XIV isn't waiting around—and neither can you. Catholic man, your home is your mission field. Your vocation is your battlefield. And your courage, forged in love, is the weapon that will rebuild the Church.Send us a text Support the showPlease prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our Buy Me A Coffee page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

This being my 49th year to preach just before Christmas, I've come to think that the most helpful thing we can do for one another as Christians in general, and what I can do as a shepherd to nurture your soul, is to help you think clearly about what you do in your life and your family this time of year.Whatever you choose to do with the holiday, make sure you meditate on what is most important and your interactions all include the message of God sending us a Savior. I'm pointing you to 12 announcements about the appearing of the Son of God, to help you with that. There are lessons for us from each of their examples.1 - Gabriel To Zacharias (1:11-20)2 - Gabriel To Mary (1:26-38)3 - Elizabeth To Mary (1:41-45)4 - Mary To The Universe (1:46-55)5 - Angel To Joseph (Matthew 1:18-23)6 - Angels To The Shepherds (2:8-14)7 - Simeon To Joseph And Mary (2:25-35)8 - Anna To All Believers (2:36-38)9 - Magi To Jesus, Joseph and Mary (Matthew 2:1-11)10 - Teachers To One Another (2:46-48)11 - Jesus To Joseph And Mary (2:49)12 - John To The Crowds (3:7-9)
Luke 2:1–7 (LSB): Now it happened that in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus for a census to be taken of all the inhabited earth. 2 This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And everyone was going to be registered for the census, each to his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, 5 in order to register along with Mary, who was betrothed to him, and was with child. 6 Now it happened that while they were there, the days were fulfilled for her to give birth. 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the guest room.Today and next Lord's Day we will comb through the first three chapters of Luke (with a cross reference here and there) and see The Proclaimers Of The Appearing. Each one emphasizes an aspect of the birth of Christ that we need to know. From them we will learn better how to explain what we are celebrating.1 - Gabriel to Zacharias (1:11-20)2 - Gabriel to Mary (1:26-38)3 - Elizabeth to Mary (1:41-45)4 - Mary to the Universe (1:46-55)5 - Angel to Joseph (Matthew 1:18-23)6 - Angels to the Shepherds (2:8-14)7 - Simeon to Joseph and Mary (2:25-35)
Recorded 11-24-24 Pastors Larry and Jason, Tyler Tate, and Danny Griffin lead the congregation with two songs reminding the church of the importance of pressing on in the faith. "The Meeting in The Air," and "Keep on the Firing Line." Pastor Larry G. Stephens brings the final sermon in the Acts sermon series entitled, "Proclaim Christ with Boldness and Freedom." The two truths Pastor Larry challenged the church are: I. Proclaim Christ with Boldness, Even as You Are Chained to This World II. Proclaim Christ with Boldness and Freedom, Even When You Think People Are Not Listening

Our Eternal King is supreme and preeminent over all things. In the letter to the Colossians, the Apostle Paul states that “For in Him, the fullness of God was pleased to dwell…” which means that Christ was not merely a good moral teacher, but the only one who ever existed as fully God and Fully Man. This reality makes Him the only one who is capable to sympathize with our weaknesses and save our souls! Please join us as we embark on a rich study of the letter to the Colossians entitled “The Supremacy of Christ.” ———————— This week, Pastor Jeff will preach from Colossians 1:24-29. The next message in this series is entitled "Proclaim Christ." The main idea of the sermon is: God has entrusted his people, the church, to proclaim Christ to everyone. ———————— Connect with Us: Website: parkwoodonline.org Facebook: facebook.com/parkwoodonline Instagram: instagram.com/parkwoodonline.org Check out more resources and sermons online at: parkwoodresources.org
Text: Colossians 1:28-29 Proclaim Christ's Message Exclusively (1:28) The content and substance of our message is Christ alone. When Christ is proclaimed, the church will be warned of error and taught in wisdom. When Christ is proclaimed, the church will grow to maturity in Christ. Depend on Christ's Strength Fully (1:29) We work for the sake of Christ through the power of Christ. The power of Christ works mightily in us as we suffer for Christ, steward the Gospel, and proclaim His message.
Third Sunday in Lent, John 2:13-22 The Rev. Anita M. Slovak
We Pursue People in order to Proclaim Christ . . . I. We Pursue People with God's Power: The Holy Spirit! (6-8a) II. We Pursue People with God's Message in Word and Deed: Jesus! (8b) III. We Pursue All People in All Places: Here to the Ends of the Earth! (8c) Practical Implications o How can you practically cultivate missional lens in everyday life? o What are some common ways we dilute the message of Jesus? What is the gospel message? o How have you applied 365/52/12 for 1-2?
Main Idea: Walk in Obedience by the Spirit of ChristText: John 14:15–31Outline: 1) Display God's Love (vv. 15–21)2) Proclaim Christ's Truth (vv. 22–31)
Sermons from Phil Foley on October 22, 2023
I. Be devoted to prayer A. Make prayer essential B. Be aware of prayer needs C. Be thankful D. Pray for gospel opportunities E. For Christ clearly proclaimed II. Be devoted to proclaim Christ A. Show Christ B. Speak Christ
In these verses we find Luke's account of the Great Commission. Here the resurrected Jesus Christ not only commissions his disciples, he also prepares and promises them provision. This preparation and provision will help them and all who follow in their footsteps proclaim Christ and his gospel to all the nations.

The devil is untroubled by moral improvement plans or people becoming more religious. What Satan does not want is Christ being preached. Tony Merida reminds us of the importance of proclaiming Jesus by unpacking the priority, purpose, and power of Christ-centered preaching, which was exemplified by Paul's ministry to the Colossians. Jesus, Merida reminds us, is fully sufficient. He must be the focus of every sermon we preach, as He is the focus of whole of God's Word. Bible passages: Colossians 1:24-29
Galatians 2:10-3:1Andrew and Edwin discuss the center of Paul's preaching in Galatia, in Corinth, in all his preaching: Christ Crucified.Read the written devo that goes along with this episode by clicking here.
