Some conflicts in life are petty and meaningless. People argue about preferences, opinions, or traditions—matters that carry no eternal weight. But there is one conflict that transcends all others, one battle every Christian is called to fight, one war worth every ounce of strength and every drop of blood. It is the battle for the faith once delivered unto the saints. There are few subjects in Scripture as weighty, as urgent, and as neglected in our generation as the command to contend for the faith. The servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James, penned this brief but powerful letter to awaken believers to the sobering reality that the faith—once delivered—must be contended for in every generation. The purpose of this message is to walk through ten biblical ways that we are called to contend for the faith. Each principle is rooted in Scripture and exemplified in the lives of early believers. These are not mere ideas; they are marching orders for every believer and every church that seeks to be faithful in a time of apostasy. The sermon emphasizes the vital necessity of earnestly contending for the faith, a body of doctrine revealed in Scripture, particularly in light of encroaching error. Drawing from Jude's exhortation, the message underscores that this struggle requires wisdom, spiritual strength, reasoned persuasion, and a clear demonstration of Jesus Christ as the promised Messiah. It highlights the importance of individual and corporate faithfulness across generations, recognizing that Christianity remains perpetually vulnerable to decline unless believers actively defend and transmit the unadulterated truth, resisting the temptation to compromise.

Without faith, it is impossible to please God. What a dramatic statement! What an absolute edict Faith is central to the Christian life. Without faith, we cannot please God.

Drawing from Hebrews 11:6 and Romans, the message clarifies that human nature is inherently flawed and incapable of pleasing God independently, highlighting the necessity of trusting in God's character and promises. It underscores that genuine faith involves believing in God's existence and recognizing Him as a generous rewarder of those who diligently seek Him, urging listeners to embrace this trust in their daily lives and share the gospel as a tangible expression of their faith.

Beloved, today we come to a topic that troubles many hearts. We live in an age repulsed by slavery—seen rightly now as abhorrent—but the Bible, holy and inspired, records its presence. Does that mean God condoned it? Did He sanction man owning man? Understanding how the Bible treats slavery is essential—not only for historical clarity, but also for Gospel purity. When skeptics charge that Scripture supports vile institutions, we must answer wisely, Biblically, lovingly. The sermon addresses the complex question of whether the Bible justifies slavery, arguing that it does not condone the practice despite its presence in the Old Testament. It clarifies that biblical servitude differed significantly from the chattel slavery prevalent in America, emphasizing that God works with people where they are, progressively revealing moral truths and ultimately offering freedom from sin. The speaker highlights the role of Christian faith in the abolition of slavery and underscores the central message that all individuals are enslaved to sin until they embrace Jesus Christ as their master, finding true liberation through faith and willingly submitting to His guidance.

Marriage is one of God's most beautiful and sacred institutions. Within its covenant walls, a husband and wife become one flesh, reflecting the love of Christ and His church to the world. Yet, in today's culture of shifting values and dissolving commitments, the biblical role of a wife is often misunderstood, diminished, or dismissed altogether. Many women long to honor God in their marriages but lack clear, biblical teaching about what He desires for them. This Bible preaching sermon seeks to illuminate the timeless responsibilities of a godly wife as revealed in Scripture, offering practical applications and warm encouragement for wives who desire to please the Lord and bless their homes. The responsibilities outlined here are not burdens to weigh a woman down but invitations to rise to her God-given calling with grace, dignity, and divine strength. Each responsibility, rooted in the Word of God, builds a marriage that honors Christ and nourishes the heart of her husband and children. Learn the ten duties of a Christian wife.

America has been the most blessed nation on the planet. She rose to become the world's superpower in less than two hundred years, becoming stronger than nations many times her age. Psalm 33:12 is more than poetry — it is prophecy and promise: "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." What was true for ancient Israel is true for any people — nations, families, and individuals alike. When we honor God, He blesses; when we forsake Him, we reap ruin. Today, let's consider what makes a nation blessed — and how we as believers can help secure those blessings for future generations.

When marriages begin to break down, husbands and wives often stop fulfilling their family duties. This increases the speed of marital demise. On the other hand, sometimes a couple gets married without ever knowing their biblical responsibilities to one another. Since God created marriage and family, only He is qualified to explain how it is intended to function. In this Bible message, we learn the God-given duties of a Christian husband.
