Sermon Manuscripts
The world continually competes for our love, tempting us to devote our time, attention, possessions, and lives to things that cannot last. Although salvation transforms what Christians love, believers must remain watchful against sinful desires, rebellious thoughts, and arrogant pride.
This expository sermon from 1 John 2:15–17 explains what it means not to love the world or the things of the world. John calls believers to give their hearts to what God loves, guard against worldly temptation, and devote their strength to God's eternal will.
How can Christians know that their faith is genuine? False teachers may claim spiritual knowledge while their lives remain marked by disobedience, pride, and hatred. John teaches that genuine salvation produces visible evidence: a growing desire to obey God’s commands, love others as Christ has loved us, and mature in the faith.
This expository sermon from 1 John 2:7–14 explains how Christ gives believers a new understanding of God’s commands, a life that increasingly reflects God’s character, and encouragement toward spiritual growth. These evidences do not earn salvation; they reveal the transforming work of Christ in those who walk in His light.
Christians who understand God’s holiness and recognize their own sin often wrestle with a painful question: How can I know that Christ is truly my advocate and that my sins are forgiven? The gospel neither minimizes sin nor grounds assurance in personal effort. It directs believers to Jesus Christ the righteous, whose atoning sacrifice satisfies God’s wrath and secures forgiveness for His people.
In this expository sermon on 1 John 2:1–6, Ben Smith explains how Christians receive assurance through an abiding relationship with Christ, obedience to God’s Word, and the transforming work of sanctification. The sermon distinguishes gospel obedience from legalism and encourages believers to find peace in what Christ has accomplished for their salvation and what He continues to do in their lives.
Pastor Ben Smith’s notes for preaching 2 Corinthians 1:1-11. Includes pulpit notes and outline handout.
Counterfeit faith is eternally dangerous because it can look genuine while leaving a person in darkness, deception, and destruction. In 1 John 1:5-10, the apostle John writes with pastoral urgency to help believers discern the difference between empty profession and true fellowship with God. Because God is light and in Him is no darkness at all, those who know Him must be transformed by His truth, brought into fellowship with the saints, and led into honest confession of sin.
