The First and Great Commandment

Classic

Charles Spurgeon

OUR SAVIOUR said, "This is the first and great commandment." It is "the first" commandment--the first for antiquity, for this is older than even the ten commandments of the written law. Before God said, "Thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal," this law was…

Further In | Acts 19 (Part 2)

Passion City Church DCJul 2026

Using Acts 19 (Ephesus) and Luke's teaching, the sermon shows how the gospel reshapes social and economic life, diagnosing the heart issues behind financial behavior (fear, desire/lust, pride) and giving practical spiritual and tactical guidance for stewardship: start giving, prioritize generosity (give-save-spend), get counsel for debt, and remember that distrust of leaders doesn't excuse failing as stewards.

Sunday, 8/2/2026, Peoples Congregational UCC

Peoples Congregational Church Washington DCAug 2026

A sermon calling believers to embody what it truly means to be Christian: not merely a label but a life of radical compassion, justice, forgiveness, and service that makes Jesus visible in the world.

RCC Atlanta 7.1 | #Blueprints Bible Study | The Culture of Generosity

Reformation Culture ChurchJul 2026

A Bible study teaching that generosity must be a cultivated culture in apostolic churches, rooted first in surrender to Christ. The sermon unpacks 2 Corinthians 8 and Acts to define four dimensions of giving—tithe (firstness), offerings (willingness/sacrifice), benevolence (body-conscious care), and shared resources (internal economic support)—and gives practical safeguards and applications for building a generous, mission-ready church.
