Drawing from Hebrews 12, it emphasizes that while salvation rests securely in Christ's unyielding grip—ensuring no true believer will ultimately be lost—faithfulness requires active, patient endurance marked by reliance on the means of grace: Scripture, prayer, sacraments, fellowship, trials, and watchfulness. The preacher warns against complacency and spiritual drift, using biblical examples and historical figures like William Carey and Valiant for the Truth to illustrate that true holiness is not the absence of struggle but the steadfast continuation in faith despite weariness, sin, and temptation. Encouragement is drawn from the 'cloud of witnesses' and Christ's own promise to never let His sheep perish, affirming that perseverance is not self-driven but sustained by divine grace, and that every scar, struggle, and faithful step points to a final, glorious reward. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/33261055351533 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:53:00 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Holiness https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/3326105475625 The War (Romans 5:10) The sermon centers on the profound reality of humanity's inherent enmity toward God, not as a mere moral failing but as a spiritual war that defines the human condition apart from Christ. Drawing from Romans 5:10, it emphasizes that reconciliation with God was not achieved by human effort but through the decisive, substitutionary death of Jesus Christ on Calvary, where divine justice and mercy met in the cross, satisfying God's holiness while offering peace to enemies. The message is both urgent and gracious: the war is not between nations or ideologies, but between the sinner and a holy God, and the only way to end it is through repentance, faith in Christ's finished work, and surrender to His lordship. The sermon calls listeners to abandon the illusion of neutrality, lay down the weapons of self-righteousness, and receive the gift of peace offered freely through Christ, warning that rejection of this reconciliation leads not to mercy but to the unavoidable judgment of a holy God. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/3326105475625 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:38:14 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Evangelistic https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/3326119186712 The Sower of Hearts (Matt. 13:1-9, 18-23) This sermon presents the Parable of the Sower as a profound illustration of the varied responses to the gospel message, emphasizing that true faith involves hearing, understanding, receiving, and bearing spiritual fruit. Rooted in the historical reality of Jesus' ministry at the Sea of Galilee, the message unfolds with sobering clarity: all humanity is tainted by sin, deserving divine judgment, yet God offers salvation through the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The parable reveals four types of responses—those who hear but do not understand, those who receive joyfully but fall away under trial, those whose lives are choked by worldly cares and the deceitfulness of wealth, and those who hear, understand, and produce lasting fruit. The preacher calls listeners to repent and believe, urging a transformed life marked by genuine faith, spiritual growth, love for God and others, and evangelistic witness, all grounded in the hope of Christ's return and eternal reward. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/3326119186712 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Jacob Follett 0:27:55 no Jacob Follett - Stroud Christian Mission https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/22626222858542 Midweek Service The sermon centers on Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane as a profound model for Christian prayer, highlighting the tension between human anguish and divine surrender. It emphasizes that in moments of deep sorrow, believers are called to unburden their souls to God, as Jesus did, expressing raw emotion and vulnerability. The sermon draws out practical lessons: boldly appeal to God's character and promises, persist in prayer even when answers are delayed, and recognize that prayer may not change circumstances but can transform one's heart and perspective. It underscores that true prayer involves a growing submission to God's will, even when it is difficult, as Jesus demonstrated by shifting from pleading for deliverance to embracing the Father's purpose. Ultimately, the passage reveals that authentic prayer is not about manipulating God, but about aligning the heart with His will, finding strength in surrender, and experiencing spiritual transformation through faithful persistence. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/22626222858542 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 25 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Tim Wells 0:30:41 no Tim Wells - Midweek Service https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/22626224521562 WHEN GOD SLAYS YOU (Job 13:15) The sermon centers on Job's profound declaration, 'Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him,' as a paradigm of faith in the midst of incomprehensible suffering. It explores how Job's anguish—loss of family, wealth, health, and understanding—reveals a faith that does not depend on circumstances but on the unchanging character of God, who remains sovereign even in darkness. The message distinguishes between trusting God for blessings and trusting God in spite of their absence, emphasizing that true faith endures in pain, confusion, and even complaint, yet remains anchored in God's person rather than His provision. Drawing from the cross of Christ, the sermon affirms that for believers, suffering is not divine abandonment but fatherly discipline, and Christ's own cry of forsakenness ensures that no believer will ever be truly abandoned. Ultimately, the call is to bring every emotion—anger, grief, despair—to God, trusting in His faithfulness even when His purposes remain hidden. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/22626224521562 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 25 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:06:54 no Pooyan Mehrshahi https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/225261053116311 Pursuit of Holiness in Gods Law (Psalm 119:32) This sermon presents a compelling vision of Christian holiness as a joyful, Spirit-empowered pursuit of Christ-likeness, rooted in the Ten Commandments not as a burdensome code but as a radiant reflection of Jesus Christ's character. It emphasizes that true sanctification is not achieved through human effort or legalistic obedience, but through the transformative work of the Holy Spirit, who enlarges the heart to delight in God's law as a path of freedom and joy. The message calls believers to run eagerly after Christ—motivated by His love, empowered by His Spirit, and guided by His example—rejecting both antinomianism and legalism in favor of a life shaped by grace, truth, and the practical application of the Decalogue in daily living. Ultimately, holiness is not a distant ideal, but a daily race toward Christ, sustained by His finished work and fueled by the Spirit's ongoing renewal of the heart. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/225261053116311 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 22 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:49:26 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Holiness https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/225261050111320 I am wretched but Christ is gracious (Romans 7:24-25) The sermon centers on Romans 7:24–25, revealing the profound tension within the Christian life: a deep awareness of inner spiritual conflict between the desire to obey God and the persistent presence of sin. It portrays the Christian as one who, though justified and reconciled through Christ, still wrestles with indwelling sin, leading to a cry of genuine self-honesty and despair over personal wretchedness. This cry is not despair but the beginning of true faith, as it leads to a desperate question—Who shall deliver me?—pointing beyond self-effort to the necessity of divine rescue. The response is not self-improvement but thanksgiving in Christ, who alone provides deliverance through His perfect obedience, substitutionary death, and ongoing power to sanctify. The message calls all listeners to abandon self-reliance, confront sin seriously, and come to Christ in humility, not as the self-righteous, but as the wretched who find hope only in the Savior. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/225261050111320 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 22 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:33:04 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Evangelistic https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/21926727596182 Finances in Marriage 1 (Luke 12:15-21) The sermon centers on the biblical principle that financial unity in marriage is rooted in shared worship of God, not personal ownership or control. It emphasizes that money is not merely a practical matter but a spiritual one, revealing where true allegiance lies—whether to God or to self, idols, or anxiety. Drawing from Scripture, it calls couples to a foundational truth: all wealth comes from God, and thus, stewardship, not possession, must define their relationship to finances. The message challenges pride, covetousness, and worry as spiritual sins that fracture marriages, urging instead a value reset that prioritizes godliness, contentment, and generosity over material gain. Ultimately, financial harmony is not achieved through compromise or budgeting techniques alone, but through mutual submission to Christ, repentance over idolatry, and a shared commitment to living as stewards of God's resources, where giving, planning, and debt are governed by faith, not fear. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/21926727596182 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 18 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:39:30 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Marriage and Family https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/2162665420518 Backsliding 3: The Healing of the Backslider (Hosea 14:1-4) The sermon, drawn from Hosea 14:1–4, confronts the subtle yet dangerous reality of spiritual backsliding—where believers grow cold in their love for God, normalize spiritual dryness, and risk despair over their perceived unworthiness. It emphasizes that true repentance begins with honest self-diagnosis, acknowledging personal sin without excuse, and turning not to religious routines but directly to God Himself. The message calls for radical honesty in prayer, a complete renunciation of false saviors like self-reliance, comfort, or control, and a reliance on God's grace alone, which is freely offered through Christ's atoning sacrifice. Far from being a mere moral reset, restoration is portrayed as divine healing: God not only forgives but renews the heart, restoring appetite for His Word, joy in worship, and a tender conscience. The sermon concludes with urgent exhortations to return without delay, to seek help, and to find refuge in Christ alone, who is both the source and the guarantee of continual restoration for every returning sinner. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/2162665420518 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 15 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:47:20 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Backslider & Backsliding https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/215261731101890 Left for Dead (Luke 10:30) The Parable of the Good Samaritan, as presented in Luke 10:25–37, confronts the illusion of self-justification and exposes the depth of human sinfulness, portraying humanity as spiritually ruined—stripped, wounded, and half-dead—unable to save itself through religious effort or moral performance. The story dismantles the lawyer's attempt to define 'neighbor' narrowly, revealing that true righteousness is not found in legalistic obedience but in costly, practical compassion that mirrors Christ's own redemptive work. By placing a despised Samaritan as the hero, Jesus subverts religious pride and demonstrates that mercy transcends ethnic and religious boundaries, pointing ultimately to Himself as the only true Savior who comes to the helpless, bears our wounds, pays the cost of redemption, and offers grace to the broken. The parable calls all people—religious or secular, self-righteous or despairing—to abandon self-justification, recognize their spiritual death, and humbly receive salvation through faith in Christ alone. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/215261731101890 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 15 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:34:37 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Evangelistic https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/214261144556634 Where are the men? In a generation of distraction, passivity, and quiet compromise, God is still seeking men who fear Him, rule their own spirit, and lead their homes with courage and tenderness. This message is a sharp wake-up call to shake off spiritual laziness, confront hidden sin, and break the chain of weak manhood by the power of the gospel. If you care about your soul, your marriage, your children, and the future of the church, you need to hear this — and so do the men around you. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/214261144556634 Religion & Spirituality Sat, 14 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:30:12 no Pooyan Mehrshahi https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/21226816251614 Communication 2: Self-control, Charity & Listening (Eph. 4:29-32) The sermon centers on the transformative power of godly communication, rooted in self-control, charitable spirit, and active listening as essential pillars for healthy relationships, particularly in marriage. Drawing from Ephesians 4:29–32 and James 1:19, it emphasizes that uncontrolled speech—whether through explosive anger, manipulative silence, or emotional outbursts—destroys intimacy and trust, while the Holy Spirit empowers believers to replace bitterness, wrath, and slander with kindness, forgiveness, and tender-heartedness. True communication flourishes not in technique but in a sanctified heart that seeks the other's good, listens without interruption, and interprets words charitably, reflecting the gospel's grace. The message calls for humility, repentance, and reliance on the Spirit rather than self-effort, affirming that lasting relational oneness is cultivated through daily surrender to Christ, not human wisdom or performance. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/21226816251614 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 11 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:45:39 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Marriage and Family https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/2826221720800 Backsliding 2: Backsliding Begins on the Knees (Prov 14:14) https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/2826221720800 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 08 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:49:08 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Backslider & Backsliding https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/28262222172367 The Blood of Jesus Christ (1 John 1:7) The sermon centers on the redemptive power of the blood of Jesus Christ as the foundational truth of the entire Bible, emphasizing that salvation is solely through His sacrificial death, which atones for all sin. Drawing from Scripture across both Testaments, it highlights how the Old Testament's sacrificial system foreshadowed Christ's ultimate sacrifice, while the New Testament affirms that His blood provides cleansing, forgiveness, and reconciliation with God. The message is presented with pastoral urgency, underscoring that the cross is not a symbol of shame but of divine love and victory, and that the Holy Spirit uses repetition and vivid imagery to drive home this eternal truth. The sermon calls listeners—both believers and unbelievers—to repent, trust in Christ's finished work, and experience the transformative, cleansing power of His blood, which satisfies God's justice and offers hope, peace, and eternal life to all who come to Him in humility. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/28262222172367 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 08 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:36:18 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Evangelistic https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/2326205639997 Backsliding 1: Love Getting Cold (Revelation 2:1-5) The sermon confronts the subtle yet dangerous reality of spiritual backsliding—where believers, despite outward faithfulness and doctrinal soundness, gradually lose their first love for Christ through a quiet drift marked by coldness in prayer, diminished hunger for Scripture, and a fading sense of divine intimacy. Rooted in Revelation 2:1–5, it emphasizes that Christ, who walks among His churches, sees hidden decay and calls for urgent repentance, not merely reform of behavior, but a return to heartfelt affection for Him. The central danger lies in mistaking external diligence for genuine spiritual life, warning that love for Christ is not replaceable by activity, discernment, or even perseverance, and that the heart's cooling is often caused by worldly comfort, life's cares, neglect of private devotion, or Satan's deceptive lies about grace. Yet the remedy is both clear and hopeful: remember the past joy of salvation, repent sincerely by naming sin as such, return to Christ in humility, and re-engage in the foundational practices of prayer, Scripture, obedience, and fellowship—not as a means to earn favor, but as expressions of renewed love. The message concludes with urgent grace: Christ's blood is sufficient, His intercession is eternal, and He longs to restore even the most distant, with the promise that He will heal backsliding and revive the soul who returns to Him. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/2326205639997 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:44:57 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Backslider & Backsliding https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/212613258200 The Greatest Friend You Will Ever Have (John 15:13-15) The sermon centers on Jesus Christ as the ultimate Friend, defining true friendship not by sentiment or convenience, but by sacrificial love—exemplified in His willing death on the cross for His friends, even while they were enemies. It emphasizes that genuine friendship with Christ is not earned by moral performance or religious ritual, but received through grace, as He first loved sinners who were spiritually broken and unworthy. This relationship is marked by transformative obedience, not as a means to earn favor, but as the natural fruit of a heart renewed by grace, and it is distinguished from mere knowledge about Christ by personal, intimate communion. The sermon warns that indifference to Christ is not neutrality, but a form of rejection with eternal consequences, while affirming the profound blessings of this friendship: eternal forgiveness, peace with God, a new heart, and the promise of everlasting life. Ultimately, it calls listeners to a personal, heartfelt decision—to receive Christ as Friend now, rather than face Him as Judge later. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/212613258200 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:28:11 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Evangelistic https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/12926226427499 Communication 1 (Amos 3:3, Eph. 4:25-27) This sermon presents a biblically grounded call to cultivate honest, open, and loving communication as the foundation of all healthy relationships, particularly marriage, where the union of 'one flesh' depends on mutual transparency and truth. Drawing from Ephesians 4, Amos 3, and 1 John 1, it emphasizes that genuine fellowship requires putting away lying—whether through outright falsehoods, half-truths, or silence—and walking in the light of God's truth, where confession and vulnerability foster healing and unity. The preacher underscores that unresolved irritation, hiddenness, and emotional distance erode intimacy, while consistent, humble dialogue—guided by six discerning questions about truth, profit, timing, attitude, wording, and prayer—enables godly resolution. Practical applications include replacing absolutes with specifics, speaking directly to one another rather than behind their backs, asking questions instead of assuming, and intentionally scheduling time for connection, all rooted in the gospel's pattern of confession, cleansing, and grace, which restores broken relationships and makes true oneness possible. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/12926226427499 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 28 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:48:40 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Marriage and Family https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/125261450598178 What is Your Life? (James 4:14) The sermon explained that Life is uncertain, brief, and passing, like a vapour, and therefore cannot be lived carelessly or for ourselves alone. God created and sustains our lives, and the true purpose of life is to fear Him, obey Him, and live for His glory, yet all of us have failed and sinned. Jesus Christ restores the meaning of life by forgiving sinners, reconciling us to God, and giving true and eternal life to all who repent and believe in Him. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/125261450598178 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 25 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:39:34 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Evangelistic https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/118262214471864 Christ Our Shepherd and Bishop (1 Peter 2:21-25) The sermon centers on the transformative power of Christ's suffering as revealed in 1 Peter 2:21–25, presenting Jesus not only as a sacrificial substitute bearing our sins but also as a personal, willing, and tangible Savior whose death was both judicial and shameful. Peter emphasizes that Christ's atonement is not merely for forgiveness but for a radical reorientation of life—dead to sin and alive to righteousness—calling believers to live out this new identity in the midst of unjust suffering. The cross is portrayed as the foundation of moral renewal, where Christ's wounds are the means of spiritual healing and sanctification, and His role as shepherd and bishop of souls assures believers of divine care and guidance. The message calls both believers and non-believers to a personal encounter with Christ, urging a life of faithful obedience rooted in the reality of His sacrifice, not as abstract doctrine but as the source of daily transformation and enduring hope. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/118262214471864 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 18 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:43:21 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - 1 Peter https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/118261713504769 How to come to God? (Hosea 14) The sermon, drawn from Hosea 14, presents a powerful call to repentance rooted in God's surprising mercy, emphasizing that divine initiative precedes human response. It confronts the honest condition of humanity—spiritually fallen, self-deceived, and burdened by iniquity—highlighting that sin is not merely external failure but a deep, corrupting twist in the heart that no human effort can fully cure. God's appointed way of return is not self-improvement but humble, reverent prayer that acknowledges total dependence on His grace, confessing all iniquity and pleading for mercy through the finished work of Christ. The message affirms that true salvation brings healing, a renewed heart, and a transformed life, not because of human merit, but because Christ bore God's wrath in our place, making it possible for the guilty to be received freely. Ultimately, the sermon calls all people—regardless of past failures or present despair—to turn to the Lord today, not in self-effort, but in faith, trusting that only in Christ can the fatherless find mercy and the fallen be restored. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/118261713504769 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 18 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:36:10 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Evangelistic https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/114262220227054 The Wife 2: Helper (Gen. 2:18-25) The sermon presents a biblically grounded vision of the wife's role as a spiritually motivated, joyful, and active helper—rooted in creation, not the fall—whose primary ministry is to her husband, reflecting God's design for companionship, mutual dignity, and divine purpose. It emphasizes that her identity is first as a disciple of Christ, and her service is marked by prayer, humility, trustworthiness, kindness, and a heart set on doing good, not merely fulfilling duties. Practical applications include fostering a safe home, maintaining a gracious attitude, communicating with honesty and love, practicing contentment, extending forgiveness, showing interest in her husband's burdens, managing resources wisely, offering gentle correction, cultivating inner beauty, nurturing spiritual life, and supporting unified parenting. The message calls wives to self-examination, repentance, and reliance on the Holy Spirit, affirming that godliness and obedience, even in difficult circumstances, are the foundation of a life that honors God and strengthens marriage. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/114262220227054 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 14 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:48:35 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Marriage and Family https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/111262235108128 God's Word to Christian Servants #2 (1 Pet 2:18-25) The sermon centers on the call to patient endurance in unjust suffering, grounded in the sovereignty of God and the example of Christ. Drawing from 1 Peter 2:18–25, it emphasizes that believers are not only called to submit to unjust authority but are empowered by Christ's suffering, who bore sins not for redemption alone, but as a moral and spiritual pattern for His followers. The passage highlights Christ's undeserved suffering, His refusal to retaliate, and His trust in the righteous Judge, offering believers a model of grace, self-control, and peace. The sermon underscores that true Christian living is not self-improvement but a life transformed by Christ's atonement, which breaks sin's power and enables a life of righteousness, witness, and hope. It calls believers to reject revenge, distinguish between suffering for sin and for righteousness, entrust grievances to God, and use trials as opportunities to glorify Christ through holy conduct, ultimately pointing others to the shepherd who restores and oversees every soul. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/111262235108128 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 11 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:47:20 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - 1 Peter https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/11126175255220 What Do You Think of Christ ? (Matt. 22:42) The sermon centers on the pivotal question, 'What think ye of Christ?', challenging every listener to confront the true identity of Jesus as the divine Son of God, not merely a moral teacher or cultural symbol. It argues that Christ's person—His deity, humanity, and substitutionary sacrifice—is the foundation of salvation, and that all other religious or philosophical views are inadequate if they do not acknowledge His lordship. Through a powerful examination of testimonies from enemies, friends, and heaven—ranging from the Pharisees' reluctant admission that He received sinners, to the centurion's confession of His divinity, to the Father's voice declaring Him beloved—the sermon underscores the historical and theological weight of Christ's claims. Ultimately, it calls for a personal, urgent response: not delay, not self-justification, but repentance and faith, recognizing that only in surrender to Christ as Lord and Savior can one find true rest and eternal life. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/11126175255220 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 11 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:34:13 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Evangelistic https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1826106477071 The Wife 1: Submission (Prov. 31:10-31; Eph. 5:22–24, 33) This sermon presents a biblically grounded, holistic vision of marital submission, emphasizing that a wife's submission to her husband is not a sign of inferiority or oppression, but a voluntary, spiritual act of obedience to God that reflects Christ's submission to the Father and promotes unity within marriage. It clarifies that submission is not silence, passivity, or slavery, but an active, joyful, and respectful partnership rooted in mutual humility, where the wife uses her gifts and wisdom to support her husband as a team member, not an adversary. The sermon stresses that submission is continuous, mandatory, and done 'as unto the Lord,' requiring the Holy Spirit's strength, and includes both attitude and action, with reverence and love being essential even when the husband is flawed. It calls for practical application through prayer, self-examination, and a commitment to edifying communication, while urging husbands to lead with love and humility, and young people to choose marriage partners wisely, all grounded in the principle that true oneness comes not from knowledge alone, but from faithful obedience to Scripture. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1826106477071 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 07 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:44:02 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Marriage and Family https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/14262244502407 God's Word to Christian Servants 1 (1 Peter 2:11-25) This passage calls Christian servants to submit willingly and humbly to their masters, not only the kind and gentle but also the harsh and unjust, grounded in a deep reverence for God rather than fear of human authority. The command is not mere outward compliance but a heartfelt, God-centered obedience rooted in the believer's identity as one redeemed by Christ and kept by God's power. The motivation for such submission is not stoic endurance but the gospel itself—suffering for righteousness' sake is acceptable to God, a testimony to the transforming power of Christ's example, who endured injustice without retaliation and entrusted Himself to the righteous Judge. This pattern of patient suffering, far from weakness, reveals spiritual strength and serves as a powerful witness to unbelievers, demonstrating the reality of Christ's redemption and the living hope found in Him. Ultimately, the passage calls all believers—regardless of their station—to live not for human approval but for divine honor, cultivating a life shaped by grace, conscience, and the cross. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/14262244502407 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 04 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:43:10 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - 1 Peter https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/14262246325384 The forgotten Soul (Ps 142:4) This sermon, drawn from Psalm 142, confronts the profound reality of the human soul apart from God—marked by isolation, spiritual captivity, and the failure of all earthly refuge, even when surrounded by people. It exposes the tragic neglect of the soul in a culture obsessed with immediacy, appearance, and material concerns, while affirming the soul's infinite worth as a divine creation destined for eternity. The message pivots on the transformative truth that though no human can care for the soul, Jesus Christ, the suffering Savior, personally and sacrificially cares, having endured abandonment and death to reconcile sinners to God. The sermon culminates in an urgent call to genuine faith: not self-improvement, but honest, desperate prayer to Christ, who alone breaks the chains of guilt, fear, and despair, offering rest and eternal life to the forgotten soul who turns to Him in surrender. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/14262246325384 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 04 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:36:04 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Evangelistic https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/14261748141425 Looking at Calvary (John 19:16-42) The sermon centers on the eyewitness testimony of John in John 19:35–37, emphasizing the historical and theological significance of Jesus' death on the cross. Through a vivid, detailed account of the soldier's spear piercing Jesus' side—yielding blood and water—John calls listeners to look ahead at the undeniable reality of Christ's death, look down at the sacrificial blood fulfilling Old Testament prophecy, look back at God's eternal plan revealed in the Passover and Zechariah, and look forward to Christ's future return when all will see Him whom they pierced. Ultimately, the sermon culminates in a powerful call to look up in faith, not merely to acknowledge facts but to personally believe, repent, and receive Jesus as Savior, trusting in His blood and water as the only means of cleansing and eternal salvation. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/14261748141425 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 04 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Tim Wells 0:25:57 no Tim Wells - Stroud Christian Mission https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/11261211132950 Christ High and Lifted Up (Isaiah 6:1) The sermon centers on the unchanging majesty and sovereign reign of Jesus Christ, revealed in Isaiah 6 as the divine throne remains occupied even amid human instability and personal turmoil. It emphasizes that Christ's glory, holiness, and eternal nature are not diminished by the world's chaos, suffering, or the passing of earthly powers, calling believers to fix their gaze on Him rather than on shifting circumstances. As the year turns, the message urges a reorientation of worship from seeking comfort or control to adoring Christ for who He is—holy, exalted, and unchanging—while confessing dependence on Him and committing the uncertain future to His faithful rule. The call is not for prediction or self-reliance, but for repentance, humility, faith, endurance, and joyful trust in a Savior who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/11261211132950 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 31 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:21:49 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Prayer https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/12292575931562 Lord Revive Us! (2) (Acts 2:37-42) This sermon presents a biblical vision of revival as a sovereign, Spirit-led outpouring of God's power that begins with faithful preaching, produces genuine conviction of sin, and results in repentance, baptism, and a transformed church life rooted in doctrine, prayer, and fellowship. It emphasizes that revival is not manufactured by human methods, emotional manipulation, or religious tradition, but is God's work, initiated by His grace and sustained through the means of grace—especially repentance, prayer, and Christ-centered proclamation. The preacher calls believers to personal repentance, recovery of prayer meetings, and active witness, warning against unbelief, worldliness, pride, and resistance to conviction, which hinder God's work. Ultimately, revival is not a distant dream but a present need, requiring humble dependence on God, a willingness to forsake comfort, and a daily pursuit of Christ as the only source of true spiritual renewal, culminating in the prayer: 'Revive us, O Lord.' https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/12292575931562 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 28 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:48:18 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Revival https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1229258156613 Satan's Great Wrath (Rev 12:12) This sermon centers on the reality of Satan's impending defeat and his resulting fury, as revealed in Revelation 12:12, where the devil's great wrath is fueled by his awareness of his limited time. It portrays Satan not as a mindless force but as a strategic, intelligent adversary who exploits human weakness, delays, and distractions to keep souls in darkness, especially when they begin to seek God. The message warns believers that spiritual progress provokes intense opposition—manifested through temptation, doubt, accusation, and persecution—yet these very attacks are signs of spiritual awakening, not divine rejection. The response is urgent: reject delay, abandon self-effort, and turn immediately to Jesus Christ, whose atoning sacrifice and sovereign grace offer complete salvation and victory over the enemy. The sermon concludes with a call to rejoice in Christ's triumph, knowing that while Satan rages, God's grace is greater and eternal. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1229258156613 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 28 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:42:48 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Evangelistic https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/122325233637105 Husband 2: A Loving Leader (Eph. 5:25-33; 1 Peter. 3:7) In this sermon we learn that God calls the husband to lead his wife not by domination, but by Christlike, sacrificial love. He is to love her as his own body and as Christ loved the church, showing that love through presence, understanding, service, and self denial. Such loving leadership exposes a man's selfishness, drives him to Christ for grace, and builds true oneness and strength in the home. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/122325233637105 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 23 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:43:56 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Marriage and Family https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1221251615382078 Lord Revive Us! (Acts 2:37-42) In this message we see Revival must be defined by Scripture, not by experience or report, and Acts 2 shows us God's own pattern for His work. It is a sovereign act of God, initiated from heaven, yet carried out through the faithful preaching of the Word. When God so works, the preached Word does not merely inform the mind but pierces the heart, producing deep and personal conviction of sin. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1221251615382078 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 21 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:37:53 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Revival https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1221252256293096 The Angel's Message (Luke 2:14) The sermon centers on the angelic proclamation of peace and goodwill at Christ's birth, revealing that Christianity is not a moral code but a divine announcement of salvation. It emphasizes that the gospel begins with God's glory, not human effort, highlighting the incarnation as the ultimate expression of God's holiness, mercy, and love in sending His Son to bear the punishment for human sin. True peace, the sermon teaches, is not global harmony but reconciliation with God through Christ, who forgives guilt and restores the broken relationship between humanity and its Creator. The message of goodwill toward men underscores God's willingness to receive sinners, illustrated by the angels' choice to announce the birth to humble shepherds, not religious elites, calling all to repent, come empty-handed, and receive grace. Ultimately, the sermon calls listeners to personally respond to Christ—not with religious performance, but with honest confession, urgent surrender, and faith in His saving work, so that the angelic song becomes a living reality of worship, peace, and divine grace. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1221252256293096 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 21 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:33:56 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Evangelistic https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/12152598573796 Fear God, Honour the King (1 Pet 2:17) The sermon centers on the imperative to 'fear God and honor the king' as a practical expression of the Christian life, rooted in the believer's identity in Christ and shaped by the tension between divine sovereignty and human authority. It emphasizes that true fear of God—understood as reverential awe and continual dependence on His holiness—forms the foundation for faithful submission to civil authority, even when rulers are unjust, because God ultimately ordains all governing powers. The preacher underscores that honoring the king means recognizing the legitimacy of his office and obeying lawful commands, not endorsing personal wickedness, while clearly affirming that obedience to God supersedes obedience to man when divine commands are violated. This balance is illustrated through biblical examples like Daniel and the apostle Paul, who honored authority without compromising conscience, and it calls believers to live with integrity in private and public, resisting the spirit of rebellion and mockery that characterizes the age. Ultimately, the sermon presents a call to a life marked by consistent godliness, where the fear of God governs all decisions, and where Christian witness is both respectful and unyielding in truth. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/12152598573796 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 14 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:38:49 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - 1 Peter https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1214251629575510 Coming with Clouds (Rev 1:7) The sermon centers on the imminent, visible, and universal return of Jesus Christ, as declared in Revelation 1:7, emphasizing that His coming is not a distant possibility but a certain, decisive event that will expose every heart and end history with divine judgment. It underscores that Christ's return is not a mere moral influence but a literal, bodily manifestation in glory, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies and affirming His divine authority, thereby rejecting any notion of spiritualization or gradualism. The passage confronts the world's indifference with the sobering reality that every person—believer and unbeliever alike—will see Him, yet only the repentant will rejoice while the unrepentant will wail in anguish, realizing too late the finality of their rejection of grace. The sermon calls listeners to respond now, not in fear alone, but in love, recognizing that Christ's coming is rooted in His prior sacrifice and enduring mercy, and that His worthiness demands immediate faith, surrender, and worship before the door of salvation closes forever. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1214251629575510 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 14 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:30:21 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Evangelistic https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1210252322324482 The Husband 1: A Servant-Leader (Eph. 5:23) The sermon presents the biblical model of husbandhood as servant leadership, rooted in Christ's example of selfless love and sacrificial service. Drawing from Ephesians 5:23 and other key passages, it emphasizes that a husband's headship is not domination but a loving, humble responsibility to lead his wife with consistency, presence, and spiritual guidance. True leadership is defined by close association, careful instruction through Scripture, personal example, wise decision-making, and delegation—always with the wife's well-being and spiritual growth in mind. The message calls husbands to examine their hearts, pursue Christlikeness, and rely on divine grace, while urging wives to pray for and support their husbands, and young people to embrace godly character before marriage. Ultimately, genuine marital unity depends on both partners fulfilling their God-ordained roles in faithfulness and humility. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1210252322324482 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 10 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:42:38 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Marriage and Family https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/127252249136179 Love the Brotherhood (1Pet. 2:17) https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/127252249136179 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 07 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:51:05 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - 1 Peter https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1272522569515 The Pride of Life (1 John 2:16) https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1272522569515 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 07 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:36:11 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Evangelistic https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/121325203037848 Broken Hearts (Psalm 34:18) This sermon centers on Psalm 34:18, emphasizing that God draws near to those whose hearts are broken by genuine repentance, not self-pity or worldly sorrow. It distinguishes between superficial regret and a deep, spiritual brokenness that arises from seeing one's sin in light of God's holiness, exemplified by figures like Job, Isaiah, and Peter. The message affirms that such contrite hearts are not rejected but embraced by God, who manifests His nearness through His Word, forgiveness, protection, and the eternal salvation secured by Christ's sacrifice. The preacher urges both the unrepentant—called to recognize their pride—and the despairing—assured that their brokenness is evidence of God's work—to come to Christ without delay, trusting not in their own worthiness but in His boundless mercy, which surpasses all sin and shame. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/121325203037848 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 07 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:30:57 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Stroud Christian Mission https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/123252229455691 God's Purpose in Marriage 2: Being One Flesh (Genesis 2:24) This sermon teaches that "one flesh" begins with the holiness of marital intimacy, but reaches far beyond it into a total sharing of life, purpose, and commitment under God. Sin creates the barriers that break this unity, yet Christ alone restores it by His grace, giving husbands and wives the power to forgive, communicate, and cleave with covenant loyalty. A marriage centred on Christ grows in true unity, because He heals the wounds that separate and gives strength to live as one. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/123252229455691 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 03 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:35:47 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Marriage and Family https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1130252158311597 Christians Call to Honour Everyone (1 Pet. 2:17) Peter's command to "honour all men" calls you to recognise the God-given worth of every person and treat them with dignity. Every human being is an image-bearer with the potential of redemption through Christ, so your attitude, words, and conduct must reflect respect, kindness, and seriousness toward their souls. This humble honouring of all people is part of the well-doing that silences critics and displays the reality of the gospel. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1130252158311597 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 30 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:46:48 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - 1 Peter https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1130251615162699 The Prayer of Jabez (1 Chronicles 4:9-10) Jabez entered life marked by sorrow, yet he did the one thing every sinner must do, he called on the God of Israel for the blessing, help, and deliverance he could not find in himself. His prayer shows our need for God's mercy, Christ's saving power, and the Spirit's keeping hand. God answered him, proving that He delights to hear the cry of the helpless. Jabez's story calls every unconverted soul to seek the Lord now, for the God who heard him still receives all who come through Christ. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1130251615162699 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 30 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:36:25 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Evangelistic https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1126252257293816 God's Purpose in Marriage 1: Leave & Cleave (Genesis 2:24) God's blueprint for marriage is clear: a man must leave his parents, cleave to his wife, and become one flesh. Leaving means changing the parental relationship so your spouse becomes your first earthly priority, not remaining emotionally dependent or shaped by parental expectations. Cleaving means a lifelong covenant, choosing each other daily, working through problems, and rejecting the idea that marriage is temporary or convenient. Such obedience exposes our sin and weakness, but drives us to Christ, who alone gives the grace needed to love, forgive, and persevere in a God-honouring marriage. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1126252257293816 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 26 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:44:36 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Marriage and Family https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1125251637353323 Christian's Call to Submission & Holy Resistance (1 Pet. 2:15-16) This sermon presents a balanced biblical framework for Christian citizenship, rooted in the tension between submission to earthly authorities and ultimate allegiance to God. Drawing from 1 Peter 2:15–16, it emphasizes that obedience to civil rulers is not mere political compliance but a divine mandate driven by the will of God, intended to silence false accusations through a life of honorable conduct. True Christian freedom is not license for rebellion, but the joyful servanthood of those liberated from sin and fear, who willingly submit to authority while remaining bound to God alone. When human laws contradict divine commands—such as in cases of moral evil, false worship, or the suppression of gospel proclamation—Christians must resist with a spirit of quiet courage, respectful dignity, and willing suffering, following the examples of Daniel, the Hebrew midwives, and the apostles. The result is a witness that is both exemplary in obedience and unyielding in faith, demonstrating that true freedom is found not in autonomy, but in faithful slavery to Christ. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1125251637353323 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 23 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:48:13 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - 1 Peter https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1123251651561951 The Gifts That Make Us Complete (James 1:17) The sermon, drawn from James 1:17, centers on the truth that while God graciously bestows good earthly gifts upon all people, these are insufficient and fleeting, leaving humanity fundamentally incomplete without divine grace. It contrasts temporary, imperfect blessings—such as talent, health, and pleasure—with the perfect, eternal gifts only available through faith in Jesus Christ: complete forgiveness, a transformed new nature, continual divine help, and eternal life. The preacher emphasizes that these perfect gifts are not earned but freely given by a God who is unchanging, faithful, and merciful, the Father of lights whose character remains constant despite life's shifting circumstances. Ultimately, the message calls listeners to abandon self-reliance and the pursuit of worldly fulfillment, instead humbly receiving Christ as the only source of true wholeness and eternal hope. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1123251651561951 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 23 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:33:45 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Evangelistic https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/112025937577622 Scandal in the House of God (1 Samuel 2:27-36) This sermon, drawn from 1 Samuel 2:27–36, delivers a sobering yet hopeful message centered on the principle that God honors those who honor Him, while lightly esteeming those who despise Him. It unfolds through a powerful exposition of Eli's failure as a priestly leader, highlighting how his neglect of duty, indulgence of his sons' sin, and prioritization of human approval over divine honor led to divine judgment. The passage reveals that spiritual privilege carries profound responsibility, and that partial obedience is still disobedience—especially when one benefits from the fruits of another's sin. Yet amid the severity of God's judgment on Eli's house, the sermon pivots to the enduring promise of a faithful priest, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who stands as the eternal, unshakable High Priest. The call is clear: honor God in all things, repent quickly, guard against complacency, and fix our eyes on Christ, whose faithfulness secures the eternal hope of His people. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/112025937577622 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 19 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:46:29 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - 1 Samuel https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/111725111351511 The Christians Obedience to Magistrates (1 Pet. 2:13-15) The sermon presents a compelling call for Christians to submit to all human authorities as a matter of obedience to God, grounded in the apostle Peter's instruction to honor civil magistrates for the Lord's sake. It emphasizes that this duty is not rooted in blind allegiance to flawed institutions but in a deeper loyalty to Christ, whose own submission to earthly authority—even under unjust rulers—serves as the ultimate example. The passage underscores that government's God-given role is to uphold justice by punishing evil and protecting the good, and that a Christian's consistent, respectful conduct in everyday life—especially in mundane matters like taxes, traffic laws, and civic duties—can silence the ignorance of critics and serve as a powerful witness to the gospel. While acknowledging the limits of civil authority and the necessity of obeying God over man when conscience is directly challenged, the sermon calls for humility, restraint in speech, and a posture of prayerful respect toward leaders, even when deeply disagreed with, so that the world may see in believers a life transformed by grace and made credible by obedience. Ultimately, this submission is not legalism but the natural expression of a soul redeemed by Christ, living as a pilgrim in a foreign land, whose conduct reflects the worthiness of the King he serves. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/111725111351511 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 16 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:39:45 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - 1 Peter https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1116251716424084 The Only Power That Can Cleanse Your Conscience (Heb 9:14) https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1116251716424084 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 16 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:34:36 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Evangelistic https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1115251448583759 Don't End Your Life A short message for those who are thinking about killing themselves and end their lives.

Rooted in the prophetic vision of Hosea and fulfilled in Christ, this transformation reveals the church as the true, expanded covenant community—no longer defined by ethnicity or law, but by faith in Jesus, the cornerstone who unites all believers into a holy nation and royal priesthood. The message is both pastoral and convicting, urging believers to embrace their identity in Christ with humility and gratitude, to live as living testimonies of God's mercy through forgiveness, love, and worship, and to find hope in the enduring promise that God's people, though often small and persecuted, are never forsaken. Ultimately, the passage calls for a gospel-shaped vision of the church, where every believer—regardless of background—recognizes their belonging, security, and destiny in God's eternal plan to glorify Himself through His redeemed people. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/113252252112859 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 02 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:40:13 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - 1 Peter https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/11325224710690 When Jesus is Revealed (2 Thess 1:7-10) The sermon centers on the imminent, glorious return of Jesus Christ, not as a humble servant but as the sovereign King revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire, a moment when all hidden things will be exposed and every person will stand before Him. It emphasizes that while Christ is currently hidden from sight, His presence is real and active in transforming lives through grace, and His future revelation will bring either eternal destruction for those who reject Him or glorious admiration for believers who have trusted in His atoning sacrifice. The message underscores the urgency of repentance and faith, highlighting the two paths—obedience to the gospel or rebellion against God—and the open door of salvation that remains available now, not as a mere suggestion but as a life-or-death call to surrender to Christ. It affirms that true faith results in radical transformation, where sinners are cleansed, renewed, and glorified in Christ, and calls listeners to respond immediately, before the door closes, trusting in Christ's finished work rather than their own efforts, for only in Him is there eternal safety and joy. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/11325224710690 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 02 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:35:03 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Evangelistic https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/11525638432091 God's Love for Lost Sinners (John 3:16) At the heart of the Christian faith lies the profound truth that God, the eternal and holy Creator, extends His boundless love to a broken world not through human effort but through the sacrificial gift of His Son, Jesus Christ, who bore the punishment for sin on the cross. This divine love, measured not by sentiment but by the ultimate act of giving, offers a free and universal invitation to all—regardless of past failures, present guilt, or self-righteousness—to believe, trust, and receive eternal life. The message is both a solemn warning and a gracious call: to reject this offer is to face eternal separation from God, while to embrace it brings immediate and lasting transformation, a new heart, and the promise of everlasting life that begins the moment faith is placed in Christ. The sermon underscores that salvation is not earned by works or morality, but received by surrendering all to Jesus, who alone is the way, the truth, and the life, and calls every person to respond without delay, for today is the day of salvation. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/11525638432091 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 02 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:30:48 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Stroud Christian Mission https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/111252026497168 Prayers of a Godly Woman (1 Sam. 2:1-10) This sermon presents Hannah's prayer as a profound model of godly praise rooted in the sovereignty, holiness, power, knowledge, and justice of God. Centered on 1 Samuel 2, it unfolds her song as a theological meditation that moves from personal thanksgiving to prophetic vision, revealing God's sovereign reversals—of strength and weakness, wealth and poverty, life and death, status and humility—culminating in a messianic hope fulfilled in Christ. The preacher emphasizes that true worship begins not with blessings received but with adoration of God's unchanging character, calling believers to praise Him daily, expect divine reversals, reject pride, and consecrate their lives and families to His eternal purposes. Ultimately, Hannah's song becomes a lens through which the church sees its place in God's redemptive history, where the lowly are exalted, the faithful are kept, and the kingdom of Christ will triumph over all enemies. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/111252026497168 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 29 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:42:02 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - 1 Samuel https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/10282513573976 This message presents a clear, biblically grounded call for Christian distinctiveness in the face of cultural practices like Halloween, arguing that its pagan origins and celebration of death, darkness, and the occult are incompatible with God's holy standards. Drawing from Deuteronomy, 2 Corinthians, Ephesians, and 1 John, it emphasizes that believers must not participate in or condone activities that glorify what Scripture condemns, as such conformity dulls conscience and erodes moral clarity. The sermon contrasts the spiritual decay of cultures that embrace pagan traditions with the transformative power of Scripture, highlighting how biblical faith has historically produced moral integrity, education, and societal renewal. It redirects attention from Halloween to the Reformation's legacy, urging believers to celebrate the triumph of Christ over death and to live as light in a dark world. Ultimately, the message calls for a conscious, faithful choice to follow Christ alone, to walk in truth, and to bear witness to the gospel's hope in every season. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/10282513573976 Religion & Spirituality Tue, 28 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:06:15 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Pilgrims Help https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1023252215253237 The sermon presents a compelling case for the divinity of Jesus by highlighting key biblical passages where He explicitly claimed deity, such as in John 8:58 with the declaration 'I am' and in John 10:30 when He stated 'I and the Father are one.' These claims were understood by His contemporaries as divine, prompting accusations of blasphemy, which underscores the seriousness of His words. The message emphasizes that Jesus' authority to forgive sins, accept worship, and use divine titles confirms His self-identification as God. Rather than relying on secondary interpretations, the sermon calls listeners to engage directly with the Gospels to encounter Jesus' own claims. The tone is both instructional and urgent, inviting personal conviction through Scripture alone. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1023252215253237 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 23 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:00:35 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Pilgrims Help https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/102025957107881 The True Israelites (1 Pet 2:9) The sermon centers on the profound identity and purpose of the Christian as God's chosen, royal priesthood, holy nation, and peculiar people, drawn from 1 Peter 2:9–10, emphasizing that the church is the fulfillment of Israel's divine calling. It unfolds with a pastoral tone, affirming that believers—regardless of background—are united by faith in Christ, not ethnicity, and are called not for personal gain but to live as living testimonies of God's grace, holiness, and love in a dark world. The preacher underscores that this identity is not for pride but for worship, service, and witness, calling Christians to live as citizens of a heavenly kingdom, embodying holiness in daily life, fostering genuine community, and boldly proclaiming God's praises through both word and deed. Ultimately, the purpose of the Christian life is to reflect God's glory so that the world may see His light and glorify the Father in heaven, with the invitation extended to all, especially the lost, to turn from darkness to the life-giving light of Jesus Christ. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/102025957107881 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 19 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:53:07 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - 1 Peter https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/101925133473449 The God Who Answers by Fire (1 Kings 18:1-22) https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/101925133473449 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 19 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:32:59 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Evangelistic https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1015252212193626 Giving Back to God (1 Sam. 1:19-28) https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/1015252212193626 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 15 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:40:34 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - 1 Samuel https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/10132577137293 Living Stones on the Corner Stone (2) The sermon centers on the identity and calling of believers as living stones built upon Christ, the unshakable cornerstone, emphasizing their role as a holy priesthood offering spiritual sacrifices to God. It unfolds through four key themes: the sovereignty of Christ in building His church, the nature of acceptable worship through self-sacrifice, praise, repentance, generosity, and gospel service, the necessity of corporate unity grounded in love and holiness, and the imperative to stand firm in faith amid worldly opposition by rejecting cultural verdicts, embracing God's Word, and maintaining faithful fellowship. The preacher calls Christians to continual dependence on Christ, to daily repentance and reconciliation, and to live with a posture of readiness for final judgment, urging both believers to persevere in grace and unbelievers to turn in repentance to the only refuge found in Christ, who promises that those who believe shall not be confounded. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/10132577137293 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 12 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:53:34 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - 1 Peter https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/101325623211373 The Greatness of Jesus Christ (Phil 2:9-11) The sermon centers on the exalted greatness of Jesus Christ, drawn from Philippians 2:9, emphasizing that His divine nature was voluntarily humbled through incarnation, suffering, and death on the cross, only to be publicly exalted by God as Lord over all creation. It warns against the ultimate folly of unbelief—refusing Christ's lordship not out of ignorance, but out of pride and self-rule—highlighting that true salvation is not earned but received by grace through faith, which inevitably produces repentance, holiness, and a transformed life. The passage underscores the profound significance of the name 'Jesus,' not as a magical formula but as a declaration of His supreme authority as Savior, Priest, and King, calling all to bow in worship, confess Him openly, and live in faithful obedience. The message is both urgent and hopeful: Christ's victory is certain, His grace sufficient, and His call is for all—sinners, doubters, and weary believers alike—to turn to Him, surrender their lives, and find eternal security in His exaltation. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/101325623211373 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 12 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:42:20 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Evangelistic https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/10925205771468 Pour Out Your Soul to God (1 Samuel 1:9-18) https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/10925205771468 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 08 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:46:05 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - 1 Samuel https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/108251214158123 Living Stones on the Corner Stone 1 (1Pet.2:4-8) The sermon is part one of a two part message which centers on the foundational truth that Christian identity is rooted not in human achievement or societal approval, but in being built upon Jesus Christ as the unshakable cornerstone, a divine reality revealed through Scripture and confirmed by the prophets and apostles. It emphasizes that true faith is not intellectual assent but a living, trusting posture that aligns every aspect of life—thoughts, relationships, and actions—to Christ, who is tried, precious, and unmovable, offering both comfort and holy pressure to live in obedience. The passage confronts the illusion of neutrality, showing that every person must respond to Christ either in repentant faith, which brings honor and security, or in disobedience, which results in stumbling and judgment, as the gospel is not a suggestion but a divine summons. The believer is called to dwell on one another's graces, bear one another's burdens, and live unashamedly in a hostile world, knowing that Christ's victory is certain and that the final judgment will reveal whose life was truly built on the cornerstone. Ultimately, the message calls for a life of continual orientation to Christ, where identity precedes activity, grace fuels obedience, and the Holy Spirit shapes believers into a holy priesthood offering acceptable sacrifices through faith. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/108251214158123 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 05 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:38:06 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - 1 Peter https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/105251548566908 True Conversion (Eph.1:3) True conversion is a divine work of God, not a human effort, rooted in His grace through Jesus Christ, who alone provides salvation, forgiveness, and a new nature. It is a transformative change of status, where the sinner is adopted into God's family, cleansed from guilt by Christ's blood, and freed from sin's dominion. This spiritual rebirth brings enlightenment, a renewed heart, and a new way of life marked by repentance, faith, and obedience to Christ as Lord. Conversion also secures an eternal, incorruptible inheritance and lasting assurance, confirmed by the Holy Spirit, which grows through answered prayer, Scripture's clarity, and the experience of God's providence. The message calls all to examine their hearts, repent of self-reliance, and trust Christ alone, for salvation is not earned but received by grace, and it is too precious to delay. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/105251548566908 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 05 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:35:10 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Evangelistic https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/104252147315145 We are Personally Accountable to God (Open Air Sermon) The sermon centers on the unavoidable reality that every person must give an account to God, emphasizing divine justice and personal responsibility in light of universal sin. It confronts the human condition with the weight of guilt and the futility of self-effort—through religion, self-help, or escapism—while declaring that only Jesus Christ, through His sacrificial death on the cross, offers true forgiveness and inner rest. The message underscores God's grace, not as a reward for human merit, but as a free gift available to all who repent, acknowledge their sin, and trust in Christ's atonement. The tone is both sobering and hopeful, calling listeners to abandon self-reliance and embrace Christ's invitation to find peace with God. Ultimately, the sermon presents the Gospel as the only solution to the deep moral and spiritual crisis of the human conscience. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/104252147315145 Religion & Spirituality Sat, 04 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:10:47 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - Open Air Evangelism https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/10125225715752 God's Grace in a Divided Home (1 Samuel 1:1-8) The sermon centers on the opening chapter of 1 Samuel, using the story of Hannah's barrenness and Elkanah's faithful household to reveal God's sovereign work in ordinary lives marked by sorrow, division, and devotion. It highlights the theme of divine sovereignty—God exalting the humble and using brokenness as the foundation for redemptive history—while drawing connections to Christ as the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises. Through the contrasting figures of Penina's malice and Elkanah's steadfast love, the message calls believers to resist spiritual pride, guard their words, and foster grace in relationships, especially within marriage and community. The sermon emphasizes practical faith: worshiping God despite the church's imperfections, praying with honesty and dependence on His name as Lord of Hosts, surrendering blessings to God's purposes, and persisting in prayer even when grief silences the soul. Ultimately, it affirms that God sees the brokenhearted, counts their tears, and uses their pain as seed for future blessing, pointing forward to Christ, who is infinitely better than any earthly comfort. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/10125225715752 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 01 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Pooyan Mehrshahi 0:39:39 no Pooyan Mehrshahi - 1 Samuel https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/pbc/sermons/92925916116413 The Identity and Character of the Israel of God (1 Pet. 2:4-5) This sermon emphasizes the Christian life as a continual act of coming to Christ, recognizing Him as the living stone chosen by God and rejected by the world. It explores the identity of believers as living stones being built into a spiritual house and a holy priesthood offering spiritual sacrifices through Jesus Christ, highlighting the importance of embracing corporate identity, welcoming God's refining work, and offering sacrifices through Christ.
