Sermons on Judgment
The Book of Hosea
SERIES: Major Profit from Minor Prophets The Prophet and the Prostitute SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Note: This series, done in the summer of 1999, involved one sermon each on the Twelve Minor Prophets. Obviously, since these books are of varying lengths, from one chapter to fourteen chapters, these sermons are focused on the key message of each prophet, rather than a detailed examination of their words. Introduction: Today we are beginning a new sermon series on the Minor Prophets–one Sunday for each of…
The Book of Joel
SERIES: Major Profit from Minor Prophets The Day of the Lord: Tragedy and Triumph SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Note: This series, done in the summer of 1999, involved one sermon each on the Twelve Minor Prophets. Obviously, since these books are of varying lengths, from one chapter to fourteen chapters, these sermons are focused on the key message of each prophet, rather than a detailed examination of their words. Introduction: Can you imagine a preacher in Oklahoma City ignoring the bombing of the…
The Book of Amos
SERIES: Major Profit from Minor Prophets Amos, the Cowboy Prophet SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Note: This series, done in the summer of 1999, involved one sermon each on the Twelve Minor Prophets. Obviously, since these books are of varying lengths, from one chapter to fourteen chapters, these sermons are focused on the key message of each prophet, rather than a detailed examination of their words. This sermon on Amos was a first-person sermon, the only one I ever preached. I even dressed up…
The Book of Nahum
SERIES: Major Profit from Minor Prophets What Happens When People Repent of their Repentance? SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Note: This series, done in the summer of 1999, involved one sermon each on the Twelve Minor Prophets. Obviously, since these books are of varying lengths, from one chapter to fourteen chapters, these sermons are focused on the key message of each prophet, rather than a detailed examination of their words. Introduction: Two weeks ago Pastor Gene brought a great message on the book of…
The Book of Zephaniah
SERIES: Major Profit from Minor Prophets A Shelter in the Fury SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Note: This series, done in the summer of 1999, involved one sermon each on the Twelve Minor Prophets. Obviously, since these books are of varying lengths, from one chapter to fourteen chapters, these sermons are focused on the key message of each prophet, rather than a detailed examination of their words. Introduction: This morning I want us to turn to the book of Zephaniah, fourth from the end…
Joshua 7
SERIES: Joshua: Victory through Faith Sin in the Camp TO HEAR THE ENTIRE SERMON PRESS THE LISTEN BUTTON ABOVE SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Introduction: Joshua 7 is tied intimately with Joshua 6, and to grasp its significance, one must read it along with chapter 6, the story of the amazing victory God achieved over the Canaanites at Jericho. But in the interest of time this morning we will begin our reading with the last verse of chapter 6: So the Lord was with…
Romans 5:12-21
Ruin and Rescue Introduction: We come this morning to a very profound and difficult portion of Romans. That’s one of the reasons I enjoyed so much last week’s passage. The theme was so clear, the concept so simple—all we had to do was to drink in the truths that … God’s love is without cause. God’s love is without measure. God’s love is without end. Today we are faced with a very different kind of text. Its theme is difficult to understand and perhaps…
1 Cor. 3:5-15
Building the Church Introduction: Did you know that the manner in which you serve in God’s church will determine how you spend eternity? Now some of you are probably saying to yourselves, “Did I hear him right? Is this Pastor Andrus, who has always preached salvation by grace, not works, now telling us that our service in the church will determine how we spend eternity?” Yes, that’s what I’m telling you. But please note, I didn’t say where you spend eternity, but rather how you spend it. The…
Jude 5-11
You Already Know All This, But . . . SCRIPTURE: Jude 5-11 SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Last Lord’s Day we began a four-week study of a small but powerful book of the NT, the book of Jude. It’s so short it’s been called a postcard instead of a letter. It’s not easy reading and it’s certainly not pleasant in its tone. It is what is sometimes called a diatribe, which Webster’s defines as “a thunderous verbal attack,” a strong warning about traitors in the…
Jude 12-16
Sorry Shepherds Who Feed Only Themselves SCRIPTURE: Jude 12-16 SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus I have been chided by a few for planning a sermon about sorry shepherds on Mother’s Day. I guess my only excuse is that Mother’s Day is not a biblical holiday, though respect for mothers is certainly biblical–and not just on the 2nd Sunday in May but every day! Mother’s Day originated in 1908 when a spinster named Anna Jarvis started a letter-writing campaign to set aside a special day to…
Matthew 25:31-46
The Least, the Last, and the Lost Introduction: The Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24-25 concludes with the Judgment of the Sheep and the Goats. Prophecy experts love to debate this passage. In fact, there are almost as many interpretations as there are interpreters. They argue over whether the sheep and goats are individuals or nations, over when this judgment takes place, over the basis for the judgment, and over every other conceivable issue one could imagine. But it seems obvious to me that what…
Luke 3:1-20
A Voice from the Wilderness Introduction: The last time we heard anything about John the Baptizer, he had just been born, named, and blessed. In the last verse of Luke 1 we are told, “And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the desert until he appeared publicly to Israel.” The last we heard about Jesus was his visit to the temple in Jerusalem when he was 12 years old, recorded for us in Luke 2. Twenty years have passed…
