Whom we worship is settled by the first commandment. How we worship is settled by the second. God is not only jealous against false worship. He is jealous for true worship. He does not want our inventions, our fancies, our customs, or our images. Grab your Bible and join us from the Savannah Mission Bible Training Center as we learn that God wants what He has appointed in His Word, and His command in the second commandment is both a prohibition and a requirement. It tells us what we must not do, and it tells us what we must do. Do you know what He commands? Do you obey?

Deuteronomy 15:11 "For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land." King James Version

God is good and God is in control! Nothing in your life is random or undetermined. Not the hard path you did not want, not the kindness you cannot explain, not the ordinary breath you take while reading this invitation. Join us from the Chatham Transition Ministries weekly Bible study as we asks the question — What are God's works of Providence? — and answers it in plain speech: God is most holy, wise, and powerful in preserving and governing all His creatures and all their actions. Come listen as we open the Scriptures and realize the difference between creation, God's eternal plan, and His present rule. Come join us as we contemplate the hard truths of biblical revelation where sinful hands and a holy purpose meet in God's eternal decree..

The sermon examines Joshua's three commands following the fall of Jericho, focusing on the dedication of spoils to God, the preservation of Rahab, and the destruction of the city. It addresses common objections regarding divine judgment by emphasizing God's absolute sovereignty and the Canaanites' willful suppression of general revelation. The speaker highlights Rahab's inclusion as a testament to God's mercy for Gentiles and sinners who exercise faith. Finally, the message applies these historical events to modern believers, urging them to wage spiritual warfare through love and the gospel rather than worldly means.

This sermon provides a detailed exegesis of Daniel 9, interpreting the prophecy of the seventy weeks as a precise timeline pointing to Jesus Christ. The speaker emphasizes reading the text in its historical and literary context to demonstrate that the Messiah's coming, death, and the subsequent destruction of Jerusalem were fulfilled in the first century. Key themes include God's covenant faithfulness despite Israel's sin, the sufficiency of Christ's atoning sacrifice ending the need for animal offerings, and the unity of Jew and Gentile in the new covenant community. The preacher contrasts this historical fulfillment with dispensationalist views, arguing that the prophecy is entirely centered on Christ rather than a future tribulation period.
