Faith Free Presbyterian Church

The sermon emphasizes the critical importance of understanding justification within the Christian faith, asserting it as the foundational doctrine upon which the church stands or falls. It explores the ongoing struggle between the desires of the flesh and the guidance of the Spirit, highlighting the need for believers to actively crucify their affections and lusts, particularly in their relationships with one another. The message warns against complacency and encourages self-examination, reminding the congregation that persistent engagement in the 'works of the flesh'—including relational sins like hatred and division—will ultimately result in exclusion from the kingdom of God, while emphasizing the transformative power of the Spirit to produce the fruit of the Spirit and guide believers toward a life of love, joy, and peace.

The sermon grapples with recent tragedies, including the deaths of Charlie Kirk and a Ukrainian refugee, prompting a reflection on the enduring presence of evil and the need for divine intervention. Drawing from Psalm 7, the preacher emphasizes the importance of praying for the end of wickedness and the establishment of justice, recognizing God's power to change hearts, restrain evil, and ultimately vindicate the righteous. The message encourages believers to remain hopeful, engage with younger generations, and actively seek God's will in a world marked by injustice, trusting in His ability to bring about reformation and establish what is just.
