In this sermon entitled "The Inescapable Question" by Skipp Heitzig, the speaker begins by discussing the importance of biblical literacy and understanding the truth of the Bible. He emphasizes the need for personal discovery and not relying on the voices of others. The sermon then shifts to the message conveyed by a billboard depicting Jesus on the cross with the words "Now it's your move." The speaker highlights the significance of Jesus' claims and presents three options: that he was either a lunatic, a liar, or the Son of God. The sermon concludes with the challenge for individuals to confront the claims of Christ and make a decision about who he truly is.

In this sermon, the speaker tells a parable about a man who thought his own dress was good enough to enter the gate of the king. However, the king saw through his pride and arrogance and cast him out. The speaker emphasizes the importance of not just being stirred emotionally by a message, but also allowing it to penetrate the mind and heart. He warns against the deception of thinking that a mere emotional experience with God is enough, and emphasizes the need for true transformation and a focus on the heart. The speaker also criticizes the preaching of the gospel based on fear of hell, and instead advocates for presenting the gospel in a way that is free and inviting, as seen in the example of the early apostles in the book of Acts.

This sermon emphasizes the critical calling on the church in a season of history, urging believers to stand in the gap for mercy and restoration. It highlights the need for intercession, faith, and a deep understanding of God's mercy over judgment, calling for a collective prayer movement to see a miraculous outpouring of God's mercy in New York City and beyond.

J.R. Miller emphasizes the profound challenge of truly loving our neighbors, as illustrated in the parable of the Good Samaritan. He contrasts the actions of the priest and Levite, who passed by a wounded man without offering help, with the Samaritan who showed compassion and took action. Miller argues that love is not merely the absence of harm but the active pursuit of doing good for others, highlighting that neglecting to help those in need is a serious moral failing. He calls on listeners to reflect on their own lives and consider how often they pass by opportunities to show love and kindness. Ultimately, Miller urges that we will be judged not only by our actions but also by our inactions towards those around us.

Raymond Golsworthy preaches on the parable of the Good Samaritan, emphasizing the essence of the gospel message revealed by Jesus in this story. The narrative highlights the plight of the sinner, the impotence of mere religion, and the power of the Lord Jesus Christ to save and heal. Through the Samaritan's compassion, Christ's sacrificial love, cleansing blood, and indwelling Spirit are symbolized, offering a profound illustration of salvation and transformation.

St. Augustine preaches about how man came into captivity through sin, being sold under sin by their own consent. However, redemption comes through faith in righteousness, as innocent blood was shed for the redemption of sinners. The Lord's act of turning back the captivity of Sion symbolizes the joy and comfort believers experience when freed from sin and restored to righteousness. He emphasizes the importance of guarding the heart and sowing good works in tears, knowing that they will reap joy in due time.

Zac Poonen preaches on the distinction between being gifted and being truly spiritual, emphasizing that spiritual maturity is not measured by eloquence, knowledge, or miraculous gifts, but by one's devotion to God, repentance of unChristlikeness, and selfless service to others. He warns against false prophets who may have supernatural abilities but lack genuine fruit in their character, as Jesus Himself warned that many who perform miracles in His name may not truly belong to Him. A spiritual man constantly looks upward in worship, inward in repentance and self-examination, and outward in compassion and service to others, seeking to bless and help those in need without expecting anything in return.

Zac Poonen preaches on what makes a man truly spiritual, emphasizing the importance of looking upward in worship and devotion to God, inward in acknowledging and repenting of unChristlikeness, and outward in seeking to help and bless others. A spiritual man longs for fellowship with God more than anything else, humbles himself constantly, and seeks to do good deeds hidden from man's eyes. He judges himself, keeps his conscience clear, and dies inwardly daily to hindrances. Additionally, a spiritual man forgives readily, is filled with compassion for others, and seeks to serve and bless without expecting anything in return.

Mary Wilder Tileston, preaching on Philemon 19, emphasizes the concept of owing ourselves to others, drawing parallels to the priest and Levite's neglect of their Samaritan neighbor and Dives' disregard for Lazarus. She challenges listeners to consider the manifold debts they owe to those around them - the lonely, misunderstood, and ignorant - urging them to realize and act upon these debts. By treating everyone with courteousness and respect, acknowledging their right to be treated well, individuals can deepen their understanding of humanity and brotherhood, fostering a habit of considerateness and thoughtfulness towards all, especially the weak.

Zac Poonen preaches on various aspects of entering God's Kingdom, emphasizing the importance of good soil for spiritual growth, the need to be properly clothed with Christ's righteousness, and the significance of building our lives on a solid foundation of obedience. He also delves into the concept of paying the price in following Christ, highlighting the effortless growth that comes from following the Spirit's laws and the necessity of valuing Jesus above all else. Poonen addresses the themes of loving God and man, the danger of legalism, the different types of backsliders, spiritual pride, watching and praying, and being faithful with God's gifts.
