Audio Sermons by Pastor John Samson:
“The Five Solas of the Gospel”
In this vital teaching, Pastor John introduces the historical context and doctrines of the Five Solas of the Reformation showing their supreme relevance for today. With Scripture alone as the sure foundation, we affirm that justification is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone!

“Divine Election (1)”
The subject of Divine election and predestination is certainly controversial, yet it is something mentioned often in Scripture. What does Scripture actually teach about it? What did Jesus teach about it? What practical use is this doctrine? What comfort does Sovereign election give, if any, when we are praying for lost loved ones? How do we explain John 3:16 in the light of election? Pastor John teaches on this theme and takes calls as he hosts the 1 hour live Andrew Tallman radio show.
“Divine Election (2)”
In this second radio show, Pastor John continues to teach on the subject of Divine election, exposing religious traditions by walking us through key scriptures as they are examined in their biblical context. A very useful study and interchange with callers.
“The Meaning of Life, the Universe and Everything”
Why is there something rather than nothing? Why are we here? What is man’s ultimate purpose? What is God seeking to achieve? Why did God make everything? In this eye opening message, Pastor John answers these ultimate questions and teaches us how it is perfectly right for God to be about the goal of bringing glory to Himself and enjoying Himself forever – and how showing us Himself, is the ultimate expression of His love.
“Rightly Handling the Word of Truth”
In this teaching seminar, Pastor John provides an introduction to the subject of hermeneutics (Bible interpretation). Many have testified to having been greatly helped in their personal study of the Word of God through this message.
“The Golden Chain of Redemption”
Romans 8:29-30 reveal a chain of five links, forged by God Himself – an unbreakable chain starting in eternity past and ending in eternity future, revealing God’s plan to redeem and glorify a people for Himself. This Golden Chain of Redemption is the reason why all things work together for the good of those who are truly His (v. 28). In this powerful message, Pastor John tackles some vital themes that are often misunderstood in our day. God has revealed these things in Scripture, not because He wanted to be controversial, but so that even under the most pressing hardships and trials of life, His people would both understand and be assured of the nature and ultimate triumph of His grace. All He foreknew, He predestined; all He predestined, He called; all He called, He justified; and all He justified will one day be glorified. No one in the chain falls through the cracks. Liberating truth! Highly recommended.
“The Baptism and Temptation of Jesus”
What is the significance of Jesus’ baptism? In what way was Jesus tempted? What application can be made to our lives today? Rich teaching from the Gospel of Matthew, chapters 3 and 4.
“The Truth of the Gospel”
Paul’s letter to the churches at Galatia reveal an apostle incensed that a people would lose sight of the Gospel of grace. Though the book of Galatians is politically incorrect in the extreme, it is fully inspired by the Holy Spirit and has much to say to us in our own day. The Gospel has been clearly revealed and we are responsible both to believe it and preach it (without any addition or adjustment) or face the anathema (eternal curse) of God. In this message, Pastor John outlines the biblical Gospel in no uncertain terms. May God establish your heart in the only gospel that saves.
“Who Is This Jesus?”
A clear presentation concerning what the Bible teaches about Jesus Christ and its implications for each of us.
“Rest and Fight”
Some Scriptures teach us to rest in God’s Sovereignty while others tell us to fight the good fight of faith. Some Christians are therefore “resters” while others are “fighters” but in this insightful message, Pastor John calls on all Christians to both rest and fight. Here’s how.
