In Part 6 of "Calling Out Carnality," Keith Voyles preaches from James 3 about how the tongue exposes the flesh. He warns that teachers are held to greater accountability, that actions must agree with words, and that an uncontrolled tongue spreads hypocrisy, gossip, division, and spiritual damage. Since no man can tame the tongue, victory requires the Holy Ghost and continual dependence upon God. Primary text: James 3:1–8.

In Part 7 of "Calling Out Carnality," Keith Voyles continues in James 3, showing that the tongue reveals the condition of the heart. He warns against using the same mouth to bless God and curse, criticize, or tear down people made in God's image. Since words flow from the heart, a corrupt mouth exposes an unguarded heart. The message calls believers to reject this contradiction and place their speech under the control of the Holy Ghost. Primary text: James 3:9–12.

In Part 4 of "The Day That the Lord Hath Made," Pastor J. Dale Massengale continues examining the prophetic message of Psalm 118 and God's appointed work through the Lord Jesus Christ. The message focuses on Christ as the stone rejected by the builders but chosen and exalted by God as the head stone of the corner. What men rejected, the Lord established as the only sure foundation for salvation. The day described in Psalm 118 is therefore connected with the Lord's marvelous work in the death, resurrection, and exaltation of Christ. The sermon calls the listener to recognize what God has done, receive Christ rather than reject Him, and rejoice in the salvation that is entirely "the LORD'S doing." It emphasizes that God's purpose cannot be defeated by man's unbelief and that every person's relationship to the cornerstone determines his spiritual standing before God. Primary text: Psalm 118:22–24. Supporting passages: Matthew 21:42–44; Acts 4:10–12; 1 Peter 2:4–8.

In Part 9 of "Calling Out Carnality," Keith Voyles preaches from James 5 about fraudulent treasures. He warns against allowing money, possessions, and personal gain to define a person's life. Wealth itself is not sinful, but covetousness, fraud, selfish ambition, and living only to gain reveal carnality. The message calls believers to seek riches in Christ, live contentedly, treat workers honestly, and submit every plan and possession to the will of God. Primary text: James 5:1–6.

The sermon contrasts the apparent power of Pharaoh's Egypt with the spiritual superiority of Jacob, illustrating that true greatness lies in faith rather than worldly wealth. It highlights how God sustains His people through famine, turning a crisis into an opportunity for divine provision and the preservation of the covenant line. The narrative emphasizes the believer's identity as a pilgrim sojourning through a transient world toward an eternal home. By examining Jacob's blessing of Pharaoh and his final request to be buried in Canaan, the message underscores that God's people remain distinct from and superior to earthly kingdoms. Ultimately, the text affirms that while worldly powers may rise and fall, God's faithfulness ensures the flourishing of His church and the fulfillment of His promises.

In Part 10 of "Calling Out Carnality," Keith Voyles concludes the series from James 5. He warns that affliction can expose carnality through impatience, bitterness, careless words, and a damaged testimony. Believers are called to endure patiently, follow the examples of the prophets and Job, guard their integrity, and depend upon prayer. The message closes by showing that unchecked carnality forfeits spiritual power, especially power in prayer. Primary text: James 5:7–20.

In Part 6 of "The Day That the Lord Hath Made," Pastor J. Dale Massengale continues preaching from Psalm 118 concerning the Lord's appointed work through Jesus Christ. The message emphasizes that Christ, though rejected by the religious builders, was chosen and exalted by God as the head stone of the corner. Man's rejection did not prevent God's purpose from being fulfilled. The salvation accomplished through Christ is entirely the Lord's doing and is marvelous to those who believe. The sermon calls the listener to recognize Jesus Christ as the only sure foundation, rejoice in the work God accomplished through Him, and personally receive the Saviour rather than stumble over Him in unbelief. Primary text: Psalm 118:22–24. Supporting passages: Isaiah 28:16; Matthew 21:42–44; Acts 4:10–12; Romans 9:32–33; 1 Peter 2:4–8.
