Listen "Developing Godliness by God's Word"
Episode Synopsis
This sermon presents a passionate call to cultivate godliness through consistent, intentional engagement with Scripture, drawing from Psalm 119:9–16 as a foundational guide. It emphasizes that God's Word is not merely ancient text but living, authoritative truth that sanctifies, transforms, and protects believers from sin and spiritual drift. The preacher outlines eight practical steps—protecting one's path, pursuing God with wholehearted passion, hiding Scripture in the heart, praising God for His revelation, proclaiming His Word, valuing it above all earthly riches, meditating on it continually, and delighting in it with joy—each rooted in the conviction that Scripture alone is sufficient for spiritual growth and moral direction. With a tone that is both pastoral and urgent, the message warns against substituting God's Word with worldly wisdom, entertainment, or cultural trends, urging the church to return to Scripture as the ultimate source of guidance, identity, and sanctification. Ultimately, the sermon affirms that true Christian maturity is marked by a life anchored in God's Word, where the conscience is captive to its truth and the believer is continually shaped into Christlikeness.
