The Secret of True Contentment

Delhi Bible Fellowship Dwarka Congregation — Sun, 07 May 2023 13:00:00 +0000

In this sermon we are talking about one of the fruits of Biblical faith – contentment! Contentment is borne out of Biblical faith. Only when you take God at His Word; trusting in His promises, can you be content and happy in life. It is about having a divine view and perspective on things, which we can have through the Word of God.

Just to be clear, contentment does not mean that we can lazy or unplanned. It doesn’t mean that we don’t work hard. The Bible has enough to say about hard work, diligence, laziness etc. Contentment is really about being able to live life joyfully, not matter what the circumstances, because you trust in the Lord.

The Scripture portion for this sermon is Matthew 6:19 – 34.

Biblical Faith

This morning we look at Romans 4:16 – 25 that describes Abraham’s faith for us and defines Biblical faith and what it looks like. This is important, because biblical faith can be such a misunderstood word and concept.

We say biblical faith, because there is an unbiblical kind of faith as well. There is a faith that is a cerebral or mental belief with no resulting action or transformation, which is wrongly called faith! “I believe in God”, is what they say, but they fail to follow him. James talks about that kind of belief when he speaks of how the demons also believe and shudder (James 2:19 - 20).

The other unbiblical faith is just faith in itself without Christ as the object of that faith. People in the world says things like, “You just gotta have faith.” Or they talk about being sincere in your faith with no reference to Christ. Sincerity doesn’t save anyone.

Biblical faith is rooted and grounded in a confidence in God and in the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Heirs of the World

Delhi Bible Fellowship Dwarka Congregation — Sun, 23 Apr 2023 13:00:00 +0000

What is a follower Christ promised beyond this life? Is that even a reasonable question to consider? In Hebrews 11:26 we read of how Moses thought about the promises of God concerning the future. “He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward.” Looking forward gives us courage to live each day for God.

This sermons looks at Romans 4:13 - 16 with a focus on the inheritance of believers. There was a promise made to Abraham and his offspring that they would be heir of the world. Some of the related passages are Galatians 3:29, Romans 8:17, Titus 3:7, Ephesians 3:6.

Faith counted as righteousness

Delhi Bible Fellowship Dwarka Congregation — Sun, 16 Apr 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Romans 4:1 - 12 is all about how we are saved. Are we saved because of our ethnicity or Christian heritage, or because of our good works, or because of our religious practices? The answer is that we are saved or declared righteous before God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Christ is Risen

Delhi Bible Fellowship Dwarka Congregation — Sun, 09 Apr 2023 13:00:00 +0000

The Bible in 1 Corinthians 15:1 - 23 shows us why the resurrection of the Lord Jesus is absolutely crucial to our faith. Not only does it matter for mankind, but for us as believers, it is fundamental to our faith. Throughout history there have been attempts to disprove the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, because if Christ did in fact rise from the dead, then everything else He says is absolutely credible. This sermon takes us through this text in 1 Corinthians showing us how crucial the resurrection of the Lord Jesus is.

Good Friday

Delhi Bible Fellowship Dwarka Congregation — Fri, 07 Apr 2023 13:35:00 +0000

This sermon takes us through the sixth word of the Lord Jesus on cross when He cried out in John 19:30, "It is finished." Why would the Lord Jesus say, "It is finished?" Was he finished? Did his enemies finish him off? Was it a cry of defeat?

In truth, this was a cry of triumph and victory. The Lord Jesus had finished paying the price for sin. He had paid the price that satisfied God's justice. The debt is clear for those who put their faith in Jesus Christ.

Palm Sunday

Delhi Bible Fellowship Dwarka Congregation — Sun, 02 Apr 2023 13:00:00 +0000

What is the significance of the events of Palm Sunday? (Mark 11:1 - 11). This sermon looks how the actions and words of the Lord Jesus Christ on Palm Sunday led to His enemies urgently looking for a way to put Him to death. The Lord intentionally confronts the political and religious establishment of the day, in order to hasten His death. This reminds of His words in John 10 where He speaks of His willingness to die for His people. He says in John 10:17–18, "For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. [18] No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.”

We're also reminded that Christ came with the purpose of offering Himself as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45). When the Lord entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday it was clear public proclamation of Himself as the Messiah. This provoked the religious establishment, who unwittingly fulfilled God's plan in putting Christ to death a few days later on "Good" Friday.

Perils, Patience, and Prayer

This sermon takes us through James 5.

The Perils of an untamed tongue

Delhi Bible Fellowship Dwarka Congregation — Sun, 12 Mar 2023 13:00:00 +0000

This sermon is from James 3. The text talks primarily about the dangers of not controlling our tongue or our words and speech. It is interesting to note that every chapter of James cautions us against giving free reign to our tongues. We are to be careful, thoughtful and wise in the way we speak. In fact, the latter part of chapter 3 speaks of how wisdom is manifest in our actions, even our words.

Listen to this sermon on the importance of wise and thoughtful speech.

Partiality and Dead Faith

Delhi Bible Fellowship Dwarka Congregation — Sun, 05 Mar 2023 13:00:00 +0000

This sermon looks at James 2 where James deals with partiality that oftens rears its ugly head in the church. Christians are to conduct all their relationships according to "the royal law" which is that you shall love your neighbour as yourself.

Moreover, living faith is always manifest in our works because faith without works is dead.

Listen to this sermon from James 2.
