The Rick W. Warren Sermon Podcast

Jesus stood up against false teachers because of the extreme damage they did. In this message we will see the sharp rebuke He gives to the Pharisee's by pointing out their sin and hypocrisy. The challenge here in hearing Christ's words is to examine yourself. Are there things that Jesus says here that are present in your life? If so, are you willing to repent and let Christ change you?

When it comes to our salvation, God makes the first move. While we were still sinners, God sent His Son to die on the cross for our sins so that we could be saved. God calls us to repent and believe in Jesus so that we can be saved. Have you accepted God's invitation?

Jesus is Lord over all creation. He is coming again someday and He will rule forever. We want to be part of that kingdom. We yearn for a time when peace will rule forever. Is your heart devoted to Jesus? Are you committed to Him? Are you part of His Kingdom?

God wants us to bear good fruit for Him. Good fruit doesn't save us, rather good fruit is produced because we're saved. The indicator of a true follower of Christ is our fruit. When we let God rule in our lives, we will continue the bear the fruit He desires.

When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey's colt, He was making a statement that He was a king coming in peace. The crowds shouted "Save us!" because they thought He would overthrow Rome. The salvation that Jesus brought, however, wasn't salvation from Rome, but was salvation from their sins. In this message we will see how God's plans are better than the crowd's plans.

There is no greater example of a leader than Jesus Christ. In everything He asked of us to do, He did it as well. He always lead by example and He cared for those who followed Him. In this message we will see how to be as leaders in whatever role of leadership we have through the model of Christ.

As we look toward a new year, we are reminded that all of us have the need to be made new by Jesus. In this message we will look at Jesus' great command to be "born again." There is no greater change in our life than to be changed by Jesus forever and to be forgiven from our sins.

There has been no greater gift given to mankind than the gift of God's Son. John the Baptist called Jesus "The Lamb of God" meaning that He was the sacrifice for our sin. On Christmas we remember how all of this began.

Before the birth of Jesus was the birth of the one who would someday pave the way for His coming. John the Baptist's birth signified that God was going to do amazing things in this world. As we remember Christmastime we should remember that God did some amazing things and we continue to wait for His Second Coming when He will show us things beyond our comprehension.

Gabriel wasn't done with his work. Six months after announcing the coming of John the Baptist, he paid a visit to a young woman named Mary. Mary was told that while she was still a virgin she would be with child and that child would be the Son of God. God always keeps his promises and in this message we see how He kept His promise to save the world.

The world was about to change. After 400 years of prophetic silence, God sent Gabriel to announce 2 significant births: John The Baptist and Jesus. In this message, we will look at the announcement of John's birth and see how God completely changed the lives of his parents and answered their prayers. There is always hope.

God is rich in grace and we truly do not realize all the great things He does. In this message, we look at the time Jesus healed the 10 lepers and yet only 1 came back to thank Him. We are reminded to always be thankful to Jesus for what He has done. He has done more for us than we can imagine.

Faith is vital for the believer and essential for our salvation. The disciples asked Jesus to increase their faith and He responded with a very peculiar answer. To Jesus, the key to faith is also found it humility.

While there are many things in this world to pursue, there is nothing that leads to lasting satisfaction outside of Jesus Christ. In this final message on Philippians, we will see how Paul was able to be content in all situations because the secret of contentment is found in our faith in Jesus.
