God’s true gospel of free and sovereign grace teaches us the profound, unchanging nature of divine love. Unlike the shallow, emotion-driven notion of love promoted by our culture, God’s love in Christ is steadfast, covenantal, and unfailing. It does not depend on our performance or fluctuating feelings, but flows from His eternal purpose to save His people through the finished work of Christ. In a world of shifting affections, believers rest secure in a love that never ends.
Faith Under Pressure: Waiting for the Lord
This message encourages believers to stand firm amid pressure, to walk in love toward one another, and to anchor their hope in the faithfulness of Christ.
The Sovereign Savior: Rest for the Weary
In Matthew 11:25–30, Jesus invites the weary to find true rest—not in their efforts, but in His finished work. In this sermon from a special Gospel Preaching Service at Gospel of Grace Ministries in Okeana, Ohio, Dr. Jason Boothe of Redeemer Church of Piketon proclaims the glorious truth of God’s sovereignty in salvation and the gentle call of Christ to all who labor and are heavy laden.
Faith That Flows From Wisdom: Taming the Tongue
Jesus said, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” (Matthew 12:34). What we say reveals what’s in our hearts. James reminds us that the tongue has both the power to destroy and the power to bless, and only the wisdom from above can bring our speech under godly control.
The Importance of the Word
We must be willing to let the Word of God confront and even shatter our false assumptions. The danger lies in merely following along the same well-worn “cattle paths” of belief that others have set before us. Instead, we must be like the noble Bereans, who “received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so” (Acts 17:11).
You Will Fall Apart from Sovereign Grace!
Man-centered religion insists you can stand before God by your will and works. But Adam fell before sin entered the world—what chance have we after the fall? Only sovereign grace can save sinners. Salvation is not a joint effort between God and man; it is the work of God alone, from beginning to end.
Christ Jesus: The One Mediator Between God and Man
In this message, Dr. Jason K. Boothe proclaims the glorious truth of the Gospel: there is only one Mediator between God and man—the Lord Jesus Christ. From Paul’s words in 1 Timothy 2, we are reminded that our hope, salvation, and access to God rest in the finished work of Christ alone. Be encouraged as … Continue reading Christ Jesus: The One Mediator Between God and Man
Christ Crucified: God’s Power and Love Revealed
The Cross is not weakness, but the very display of God’s power and love—foolishness to the world, yet the wisdom of God to all who believe.
The Power and Wisdom of the Cross
The message of John 3:16–17 and 1 Corinthians 1:18–24 is one and the same: the love of God and the wisdom of God are revealed supremely in the cross of Christ. The world may see weakness and folly, but to those whom God has called, the crucified Son is salvation, righteousness, and life. Let us therefore hold fast to this gospel, unashamed of Christ crucified. For in Him we behold the very power and wisdom of God.
Christ: Our Reconciliation
Just as Paul pleaded for Onesimus to be received as a brother, so too does the Gospel declare that sinners are welcomed by God through the finished work of Jesus Christ. This passage beautifully reminds us that reconciliation is not found in our efforts but in Christ alone.
