A Call to Die – Originally preached at a substance abuse recovery house, this free MP3 sermon examines Matthew 16: 21-25 in an effort to learn exactly what the call to follow Christ means. It looks into what it means to “pick up our cross”, and why so many people who profess to follow Christ actually don’t follow Him at all (or fail in their efforts). As part of salvation, we abandon our own rights and instead live for Christ. Listen to “A Call to Die” to learn exactly what this means. Click HERE now to listen! Great sermon for Christians fighting addiction and substance abuse. NEW!!
Grace for the Dead – Ephesians 2:1-10 is a passage of Scripture that should sound familiar to every believer. The Lord brings the dead back to life when He saves a person, and this is what Paul is writing about in this part of his letter to the Ephesians. It is a great bit of Scripture for the Christian to review so as to understand and appreciate the work the Lord has accomplished in them. It is also great for the non-christian as well as it explains the deep-down feeling of helplessness, guilt and impending doom that is so often buried in those without Christ. If you feel empty and dead inside, don’t ask a doctor to medicate you, instead, seek the counsel of the one who made you as you consider this passage. Listen HERE now.
The Gospel in the Law – Most of us are familiar with the Ten Commandments found in Exodus chapter 20, but are you aware that this passage contains not only the Law of God, but also the grace of God? This MP3 sermon takes a look at one of the most well-known passages in all of Scripture and examines it to see exactly where it stands in our Lord’s redemptive plan, and what parts of this chapter we may have been inadvertently missing when reading it. Click HERE now to listen.
THEREFORE – Funny how when reading the Bible, we can skip over common words that have significant meaning as though they weren’t even there. The meaning behind the word, “therefore” in Romans 12:1-2 has a profound impact on what the passage is saying. This chapter (and all of the final chapters in Romans) can’t be plucked out and held up as a simple teaching on how to live life. Before reading this section of Scripture, one must know to what the word, “therefore” was referring! Find out today by clicking HERE and listening to this free MP3 sermon.
Judgment Day – With so much debate on what will happen on THE day (and with many modern teachers even denying there is such day) wouldn’t it be wise to carefully inspect the teachings of Jesus Christ on the issue? This sermon takes a close look at Matthew 25:31-46 in an effort to learn exactly what that great day will be like, and how judgment will be made. When examined carefully, there is some material here that will surprise many people! It is so easy to skim over this and walk away thinking that this passage is about doing good and charitable works, when it really isn’t about that at all! Listen HERE while carefully and prayerfully reviewing our Lord’s Word.
What Peter Learned – This sermon takes a look at Peter’s denial of Jesus the night before the crucifixion. Peter learned a lot through this heartbreaking experience, and a lot of what he learned we should take to heart as well. Do you surprise yourself with the sins you commit? Have you denied Christ by putting your comfort ahead of your loyalty to Him? Learn for yourself what Peter learned by clicking HERE to listen or download.
Dead Bones – This sermon was given to an audience full of men in an addiction recovery program, but the truths contained apply to all. What truths? The truth that until our Lord reaches down and saves us, we are all dead men walking! This is simply a biblical fact. Often those with an addiction understand this while many others don’t want to hear it. They often take great pride in their own morality and good deeds, but Scripture tells us that without the Spirit of Christ inside us, we are all simply a pile of dead bones. This sermon is a look into this simple and perhaps disturbing truth found in Ezekiel 37:1-10. The last half of Ezekiel 36 and the first half of Ezekiel 37 holds some of the most hopeful, incredible and illustrative truths to be handed down to mankind.

The Impossible Psalm – Our Lord told us in Luke 24 that He came to fulfill what was spoken in the law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms… and without Christ’s finished work on the Cross Psalm 32:1-7 is completely impossible! This can be seen when it is examined with the knowledge that our God is not only loving, but also just. It is so easy to read the Bible with religious lenses on, and breeze right over comforting Psalms like this one without ever thinking about what they are really saying. This sermon takes a deep look at Psalm 32 and comes to the conclusion that the Psalm is teaching the impossible. But, of course, with Christ all things are possible…Listen or download now (it’s free!) by clicking HERE
Is Jesus on Your Side? – This latest sermon is an extremely short but pointed look into a topic covered in a ChurchSalt blog-post not too long ago (read post Here). If someone asked you right now, “Is Jesus on your side?” How would you answer? Do you feel as though He is your support and has your back in all you do? When you are faced with battles in life, are you comforted knowing He is on your side? If so, you should take a few minutes to listen to this sermon entitled “Is Jesus on Your Side?” This question might be a little deeper than you think! Listen or download HERE.
Lifted Up – “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up” With this understanding of the bronze serpent, this sermon looks at Numbers 21 and how the camp of Israel was saved from certain death. The Old Testament has many teachings of Christ that are worth careful examination, and this is one of them. Listen to “Lifted Up” HERE.
Amazing Adoption – What an absolute jaw-dropping concept! That sinful, rebellious man could be (and would be) adopted into the family of our Holy Lord! Listen as this sermon explores the concept of adoption by looking at an often over-looked passage (John 20:11-18). After being denied and abandoned by His closest followers, one of our Lord’s first statements after the resurrection was to indicate they were now family by calling them “brothers”. This is an encouraging, humbling and challenging text. Listen to Amazing Adoption by clicking HERE now.
That Kind of Faith – This sermon is a message delving into James 2:14-26 and the confusion that often comes when reading this passage. Is James saying we are saved by doing good deeds (works)? Is he saying we are saved by Jesus + works? How can this passage possibly be compatible with Ephesians 2:8-9 where Paul tells us we are saved by grace through faith, and that our works do not in any way save us? This teaching is a short but deep look into an area of the New Testament that can often be confusing. Click HERE to play or download now.
The Rich Young Ruler – This parable may quite possibly one of the most trivialized portions of Scripture in modern-day preaching. This isn’t just a “Don’t love money” lesson Jesus gives out as a side dish. Not at all. Instead it is a generous helping of meaty doctrine touching on sin, the Law, idolatry and the Gospel. This sermon is a quick look at Luke 18:18-23 to reveal its’ riches and examine what it truly teaches (including Jesus’ opening words that are so-often twisted). Please listen to “The Rich Young Ruler” by clicking HERE.
John 3:16 – What verse in Scripture could be more often quoted and publicized than John 3:16? None. It is everywhere. Football games, baseball games, soccer games and in every gospel tract ever printed. Now in my reasoning, if a verse is used THAT much, it should be examined carefully to understand the full meaning! This sermon is far from a tired look at a truth already understood by all. It is an in-depth look at John 3:16 and a few verses around it to try to rightly understand what it is saying, and what it is not saying. Don’t miss a chance to study an incredibly rich portion of Scripture just because it is a familiar portion of Scripture. Click HERE to listen today!
Pharisee Me? – Dive into Luke’s account of the Pharisee and the tax collector! Why? Because the Pharisee isn’t all that different from a whole lot of modern professing Christians attending church every Sunday, and maybe even not all that different from you and I. Pharisee’s have a bad reputation in the eyes of the modern Bible reader, so it is easy to skim over the parables and accounts of their actions without really digging in to see what was going on. Don’t make that mistake today! Learn from the Pharisee by listening to “Pharisee Me”…click HERE.
THE Gospel (made easy) - Taken from the 3rd chapter of Romans, this sermon takes a good (deep but simple) look at what the Bible teaches as the Gospel message. These days, there are many, many messages claiming to be “Gospel”. Can anything be more important than finding out what the Bible actually teaches? The Gospel needs to be heard by all…confused, searching, doubting , saved, unsaved, pastor , sinner and saint alike. Click HERE to listen today.
The Gospel for Modern Ears – There are so many different messages out there being labeled as the Gospel. You often hear it presented as, “Grasp the Adventure” or “Make your life Matter”, even “Live your Best life Now” and “Love God & Love Others”. So what is the true Gospel? The one preached by Jesus, Paul and John? Click HERE to hear an absolutely terrific presentation by Skip Ryan of the Biblical Gospel (the one that brings freedom from sin). Don’t think you can skip this one… you will be glad you didn’t!
Is Salvation Free? - Don’t pass by this sermon thinking you have it already figured out. Maybe, just maybe, Salvation isn’t as free as we always hear it is. What if we have become a little flippant in regards to the idea of being “saved”? This sermon isn’t about earning Salvation, it is about the cost of Salvation as described by Isaiah. Listen to an Old Testament teaching about the Cross HERE. A must listen!
Marriage - This sermon by Voddie Baucham is titled ”Healing for Hurt Marriages” but is absolutely a must-listen for anyone who is married or thinking about marriage. Listen HERE.
Imposters Among Us – Ever hear a congregation laugh when it was suggested that they bring their Bibles to Church? John Legg is the guest speaker delivering this hard-hitting sermon, and not only does the congregation laugh, but even the Pastor and staff members laugh at the idea of clinging to God’s Word as well.

The Preachers Wife - Charo Washer, wife of Preacher & evangelist Paul Washer gives her testimony. After living a christian life and living as a missionary, she came to the realization that she was NOT a Christian. While listening to her husband Paul preach on examining your faith to see if it is real, Charo finally comes to true salvation. Terrific testimony!! Click HERE.
“The motto of all true servants of God must be, “We preach Christ; and him crucified.” A sermon without Christ in it is like a loaf of bread without any flour in it. No Christ in your sermon, sir? Then go home, and never preach again until you have something worth preaching!” – Charles Spurgeon
