Exodus 20:1-3
SERIES: Ten Stupid Things People Do to Mess Up Their Lives Worshiping the Wrong Gods SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Introduction: I suppose I should start off today with an apology to Dr. Laura Schlessinger for trading on the name of her two best sellers, Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up their Lives, and Ten Stupid Things Men Do to Mess Up their Lives. A Free Church pastor friend of mine first borrowed the title for a series he was preaching on the…
Exodus 20:4-6
SERIES: Ten Stupid Things People Do to Mess Up Their Lives Worshiping God in the Wrong Way SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Introduction: Please turn with me to the Book of Exodus, chapter 20. We are going to read the first six verses: “And God spoke all these words: ‘I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an…
Judges 17-18
The Book of Judges: Hearts of Iron, Feet of Clay When People Lack Godly Leaders, Spiritual Anarchy Reigns SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Introduction: It’s good to be back with you this morning. I had a very profitable sabbatical and am very grateful for the privilege of being away for a concentrated time of study and rejuvenation. This is our second of two family Sundays in a row. I welcome the children who are not normally here in adult worship. Many of you were here…
Joshua 24
SERIES: Joshua: Victory through Faith Choose You This Day! SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Introduction: Life is saturated with choices. I would suppose that in any given day the average human being must make hundreds, if not thousands, of conscious choices. Most of them are undoubtedly inconsequential, but some of them may affect our lives permanently from that moment on. No decision is more momentous than the question of whom we will serve—the Lord God or some other god. For some this may be a…
Joshua 24:19
SERIES: Joshua: Victory through Faith The Holiness and Jealousy of God SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Note to David: A version of this sermon is posted already in “Joshua” but without audio. It is a sermon I did at Dallas Theological Seminary. It is also posted under the series, “Our Great and Awesome God.” I would leave it under “Our Great…God,” but remove it from “Joshua.” Use this one instead, which does have audio. Introduction: According to Genesis 1-3, God created man in His own image and…
Isaiah 40
The Greatness and Smallness of God TO HEAR THE ENTIRE SERMON CLICK THE LISTEN BUTTON ABOVE There are two sermons published for Isaiah 40. This sermon was preached in Wichita and the second is part of a series Mike presented at Dallas Theological Seminary SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus DATE: December 26, 2021 Introduction: I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas celebration with family and friends. It never gets old, does it? I’ve always loved Christmas, but I recall how it was always a…
Isaiah 40
SERIES: Our Great and Awesome God The Greatness and Smallness of God SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus PLACE: Dallas Theological Seminary DATE: October, 1996 There is no audio available from Mike’s sermon in Dallas. I have attached a sermon on the same scripture preached in Wichita just after Christmas in 2021. Thank you, Dr. Gangel, for that kind introduction. This is an honor I never expected to receive. Preaching at Dallas Seminary is like singing at the Met, playing tennis at Wimbledon, or skiing at Vail. I…
Joshua 24:19
SERIES: Our Great and Awesome God The Holiness and Jealousy of God SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus PLACE: Dallas Theological Seminary DATE: October, 1996 According to Genesis 1-3 God created man in His own image and likeness. According to twentieth century theology, however, it seems that man has created God in his image. The God of many people today is a God concocted from those characteristics man admires most. Thus one hears a great deal about God as a God of love, mercy, compassion, benevolence, grace, forgiveness, patience, and…
Exodus 20:1-21
Ancient Commandments for Modern Living SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Note: There is a full series on the Ten Commandments on the website, which expands greatly on this sermon. Introduction: I grew up in evangelical churches all my life, then attended Bible college and seminary for eight years, but it wasn’t until about ten years ago that I realized a rather startling fact: I had never in my entire life heard a sermon on the Ten Commandments! In trying to understand the reason for that…
2 Kings 17
The Ten Lost Tribes: “They refused to listen…. So the Lord removed them from His presence.” Introduction: For the past several months we have been studying the biographies and the resulting epitaphs of a number of the kings and prophets of Israel and Judah. For the most part these kings have been a discouraging lot. Jehoshaphat and Jotham had a heart for God, and a few like Amaziah and Uzziah, had a half-heart for God, but most had no heart for Him at all. And frankly,…
Romans 1:18-32
When God Gives Up Introduction: Today we have our second Bad News sermon in a row. The Bad News refers not, I trust, to the quality of the sermon, but rather to the subject matter. We’re in one of the darkest, most somber portions of the entire Bible here in Rom. 1:18-3:20, which I have chosen to preach under three main headings: Are the unreached really lost and on their way to Hell? (last Sunday & today) Are “good” people really lost? (next Lord’s Day)…
1 Cor. 10:14-22
The Danger of Mixed Drinks SCRIPTURE: 1 Cor. 10:14-22 DATE: May 6, 2001 Introduction: What’s the highest virtue in America today? Is it honesty, integrity, morality, or sanctity of life? I would say none of these. I think it’s tolerance. Tolerance is so highly valued that it may be the only absolute virtue many Americans recognize. On the university campus just about the only thing that is not tolerated is intolerance, especially on the part of those upholding traditional standards or biblical truth. I say that as a…
