Preaching the Truth

When Jesus died, something happened that changed everything. The curtain of the temple—the barrier between God and man—was torn in two, from top to bottom. This wasn’t just a dramatic moment. It was a declaration. The way to God is open. In this Palm Sunday sermon on Matthew 27:50–51, we explore what that torn curtain really means. The temple, the veil, the sacrifices—all of it pointed forward to Christ. And when He gave up His spirit, the shadow gave way to reality. Through His torn flesh and shed blood, Jesus has opened the way into the presence of God. The barrier is gone. Your sins are forgiven. Heaven is not closed to you. This is not symbolism. This is your access to God.

In this Fifth Sunday after Lent sermon on John 8:46–59, Rev. Tyrel Bramwell confronts the truth that those who reject Christ’s Word are not of God. When Jesus speaks the truth and is accused of having a demon, He exposes something deeper than disagreement—He reveals the spiritual reality behind unbelief. This sermon draws a sharp line between hearing and rejecting the Word of God. Through the example of Abraham, who believed against all odds, we see what true faith looks like: trusting God’s promises even when they seem impossible. In contrast, those who harden themselves against Christ show whose voice they are really following. But this is not a message of despair—it’s a proclamation of certainty and comfort. Jesus declares that whoever keeps His Word will never see death. That promise is not symbolic. It is grounded in His identity as the great I AM, His atoning death, and His resurrection.

In a world where AI chatbots claim to connect you to “Jesus,” Rev. Tyrel Bramwell delivers an unflinching sermon on why God still uses real, flesh-and-blood men to preach His Word. Drawing from 1 Kings 17, Romans 10, and Luke 7, this message confronts our discomfort with pastoral authority and reveals the life-giving power of God's rightly distinguished Word: Both His Law and Gospel.

Jesus sent the Spirit of Truth to bring the disciples into all the truth, declaring what He has heard. The pattern of speaking only what the Holy Spirit preserved in the Holy Bible continues today so that you know you are forgiven of your sins. This is Rev.
