In this sermon we study Luke 16, where Jesus explains how His arrival fulfills the law and prophets and raises the ethical standard for His followers. He confronts the Pharisees about their love of money and calls believers to a transformed heart that trusts God rather than wealth.

The sermon closes with the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, a stark warning about eternal consequences, reversed fortunes, and the importance of listening to Scripture and living with generosity and obedience.

This sermon examines Revelation 20:1–10, offering a bird’s-eye view of the thousand-year earthly reign of Christ: the binding of Satan, the first resurrection, the reign of the saints, and Satan’s final rebellion and judgment.

It also compares premillennial, postmillennial, and amillennial perspectives, emphasizes proper biblical hermeneutics, and encourages listeners to understand the text and be spiritually prepared.

In this sermon, Pastor Jud explores how God declares our identity as His beloved before we perform, using Jesus's baptism and temptation as the model. We are invited to stop striving for approval, stand firm in God's spoken identity, and live from that assurance through spiritual practices like prayer, Scripture, and community.

This sermon walks through Revelation chapter 19, describing the return of Jesus Christ with the heavenly armies, the imagery of the white horses, and the Lord’s rule with a sharp sword and a rod of iron. It explains how Christ alone executes judgment, treads the winepress of God’s wrath, and bears the name "King of kings and Lord of lords."

The message also covers the decisive defeat of the beast and the false prophet, the graphic picture of the birds feasting on the slain, and the call for listeners to repent and live godly lives in light of the coming day of the Lord.

This sermon examines Luke 16:1–15, focusing on the parable of the shrewd manager. It explains the manager’s scheme, the master’s surprising reaction, and why Jesus commends shrewdness rather than dishonesty.

Shrewdly (adverb) means acting with sharp judgment, practical intelligence, and keen awareness, especially in ways that are effective for achieving a desired outcome.

It often implies being astute, perceptive, and strategically wise, sometimes with a sense of clever calculation.

Pastor Jud applies the parable to modern discipleship, urging listeners to use worldly wealth wisely for kingdom purposes, to evaluate where their hearts truly belong, and to practice faithful stewardship.

A clear, concise look at Revelation 19:11–21 covering the return of Jesus as the faithful and true warrior-king, the decisive Battle of Armageddon, divine judgment on the wicked, and the distinction between the rapture and the second coming. The sermon underscores urgency, hope for believers, and the ultimate establishment of Christ’s reign.

This sermon explains the Bible’s teaching that human life begins in the womb and that every person bears God’s image, making abortion and euthanasia inconsistent with Scripture.

Pastor Jud calls Christians to submit to God’s authority, stand for the unborn, offer compassion and forgiveness to those affected, and proclaim the gospel as the ultimate hope.

This sermon walks through Luke 15:11–32, unpacking the story of the younger son who squanders his inheritance, hits rock bottom, and returns home to an unexpectedly lavish welcome from his father. We explore the son’s repentance, the father’s compassionate response, and the radical nature of God’s grace.

We also examine the older brother’s anger and the parable’s challenge to those who trust in self-righteousness: will you rejoice when the lost are found and join the Father’s celebration? The sermon invites listeners to respond in repentance and in joyful pursuit of the lost.
