Meet Bereans in Action Faith Debate: Sunday, October 4th, 2026 (10/11/26 on 930 WFMD in Frederick, Maryland) Should "Artificial Intelligence" be called Algorithm Processing? Do we know GPT means Generative Pre-trained Transformer; or are we "old man yelling at cloud" with "smart phones" making us dumb? Is AI controlled by populism (majority rules), tyrants (authoritarian rule), conventional wisdom (lowest common denominator), or someone else? Does technocratic central command make feedback loops based on majority input instead of the best input? Was AI made only for a moral/religious people, wholly inadequate to the use of any other? How's the gospel stay central thru authentic Spirit-led study & known sources, not a souped-up Wikipedia? Are sermons/counseling affected by what the Ethernet presents as prevailing wisdom, with posers pretending to know what they don't? In the battle of Christ & culture, people are being trained by simulacra designed by post-moderns believing we can't know anything for sure. So, be suspicious. Trust, but verify. Don't trade God-given intelligence for low-information slop- or jobs will be lost, lives sacrificed, & truth surrendered. Thus ends a final plug for the recent series on this topic. Now, here's part 3 of a 4-part discussion on the topic of spiritual apparitions. Find The Faith Debate at wfmd.com, ChristianPodcastCommunity.org, & podcast platforms like SermonAudio & Odysee.

Is the Old Testament primarily about God's law, while the New Testament is primarily about God's grace? Were Old Testament saints saved by obeying God's law, while New Testament saints are saved by faith in Christ? Is the Old Testament only about Israel, while the New Testament is to do with Christ and His church? No to all. Those conclusions, however common, are far too simplistic. "Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, (Jesus) interpreted to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures," Luke 24:27 (LSB). The Bible in its entirety is God's revelation of His grace toward sinners in Christ. So we do well to read every book in light of God's saving purpose fulfilled in Christ. The story of His grace in salvation unfolds progressively and comes into full view in the life of Jesus. In his field guide for suffering saints, Peter reminds his readers that the prophets of old saw the promise of Christ and searched diligently to know more of God's grace in salvation. The apostles, too, proclaimed the Christ whom God's people had long been expecting, and who had at last come in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. Even holy angels marvel at God's grace in the gospel, peering into the wonder of God restoring fallen image-bearers like you and me. So great is our salvation, Peter exclaims, it encompasses privileges "into which angels long to look," 1 Peter 1:12 (LSB). And the gospel is the good medicine we badly need when life in this fallen world darkens our horizon. This Lord's Day, we'll return to our study of 1 Peter and its doxology in chapter 1, verse 3-12. Join us as we consider, "Homeward Bound: A Wonder of Grace." Prep

This past Sunday, Pastor Trey continued our series on Father Abraham with a sermon from Genesis 19:1-11 entitled "Angels Visit Sodom" in which we dove into the angelic investigation into the wickedness of Sodom. While it starts well with them receiving an invitation of hospitality from Lot, things in Sodom quickly unravel after dark, even for the righteous man, Lot. What can we learn from this chilling tale?

This sermon explores the theological significance of Jesus Christ as the Son of God, challenging the notion that this title implies inferiority to the Father. By examining Hebrews 1 and the Old Testament precedents in Psalm 2 and 2 Samuel 7, the message argues that sonship primarily denotes identity and likeness rather than mere biological origin. The speaker posits that while the term is applied to Adam, Israel, and angels, Christ's sonship is unique and culminates in His resurrection and coronation as the Davidic King. The central argument is that a son always derives identity from the father, and Christ's perfect obedience in the wilderness demonstrates the kind of Son who fulfills the Father's will without failure. The sermon concludes by urging believers to meditate deeply on this truth to experience a profound sense of God's love and presence.

Theme: Zechariah's first vision tells the people of God that, even though the world is at rest while they are hurting, God is still present with them and is determined to send His mercy to them. 1.

Matthew 25:6 "And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him." This sermon examines the state of the visible kingdom of God at the time of Christ's second coming, drawing primarily from the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25. The message highlights that the Bridegroom will find a mixture of sleeping saints and slothful sinners, emphasising the spiritual lethargy and compromise often present in the modern church. It asserts that upon His return, Christ will immediately execute a definitive separation between true believers, who possess the oil of the Holy Spirit, and those with empty professions, a judgment carried out by angels under His direct command. The sermon concludes with the joyous prospect of the marriage supper of the Lamb, where the redeemed will celebrate their eternal union with Christ and their final victory over all enemies.
