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.

In Part 5 of "The Day That the Lord Hath Made," Pastor J. Dale Massengale continues preaching from Psalm 118 concerning God's appointed work through the Lord Jesus Christ. The message examines the prophetic declaration that the stone rejected by the builders became the head stone of the corner. Although Christ was rejected by men, He was chosen, established, and exalted by God as the only foundation of salvation. The sermon emphasizes that this work is entirely "the LORD'S doing" and is marvelous in the eyes of those who believe. Because God fulfilled His purpose through Christ, His people have reason to rejoice, worship, and place their complete confidence in Him. The message also confronts each listener with his relationship to Jesus Christ. The same cornerstone upon which believers securely rest becomes a stone of stumbling to those who refuse Him. 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.

The sermon examines the encounter between Jesus and Nicodemus to demonstrate that religious credentials and moral effort are insufficient for salvation. It emphasizes that entrance into God's kingdom requires a supernatural regeneration initiated solely by the Holy Spirit, which no human can produce or earn. By referencing the bronze serpent in the wilderness, the message illustrates that eternal life is granted through faith in the lifted-up Son of Man rather than personal merit. The central argument asserts that salvation is entirely God's sovereign work, removing the burden of self-justification from the believer. Ultimately, the text calls listeners to abandon reliance on their own righteousness and look to Christ in faith for eternal life.

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 4 of "Calling Out Carnality," Keith Voyles preaches from James 2:1–13 about how favoritism and respect of persons reveal carnality in a believer's life. Keith explains that Christians may profess faith in the Lord Jesus Christ while behaving in ways that misrepresent His character. One clear example is treating people differently because of wealth, appearance, social position, influence, talent, or personal benefit. The message warns that favoritism always produces two results: someone is idolized while someone else is isolated. One person is welcomed, honored, and included, while another is ignored, pushed aside, or treated as inferior. Keith stresses that this conduct is not merely socially wrong; it damages the testimony of Christ. Christ does not show partiality. Although He is the Lord of glory, He humbled Himself, became a servant, and freely receives whosoever will come to Him. Therefore, believers cannot claim His faith while refusing to display His character toward others. Keith applies the passage directly to conduct within the church. The rich man in good clothing must not receive better treatment than the poor man in vile raiment. Both were souls for whom Christ died. Showing preference because of what someone can provide—money, influence, connections, status, or talent—is carnal and selfish. The sermon also warns against cliques and social divisions among God's people. Christians must not build exclusive circles that welcome those they prefer while shutting out others in the same body. Genuine Christian fellowship requires humility, mercy, equal treatment, and a willingness to serve people regardless of their position. Primary text: James 2:1–13

How should Christians respond when suffering continues and circumstances do not make sense? In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains how Scripture calls believers to respond to suffering with humility, trust, perseverance, and prayer. Christians may not understand everything God is doing, but they can trust His goodness, wisdom, care, and sovereign purposes. Suffering should not drive Christians away from God. It should lead them to humble themselves before Him, depend upon His strength, persevere through trials, and bring their fears and burdens to Him in prayer.

Many men believe strength means never struggling, grieving, or admitting weakness. Scripture presents a better way. Godly men are neither emotionally controlled nor emotionally disconnected. They bring their hearts honestly before God and submit their feelings to the truth of His Word. In this episode of Warriors of Grace, Dave Jenkins examines Psalms 42 and 62 to explain why biblical courage includes emotional honesty. The Psalms teach Christian men to acknowledge sorrow, practice faithful lament, preach truth to their souls, and rest their hope in the character of God. Feelings are real, but they are not ultimate. Strong men are not men who never struggle. They are men who bring their struggles to God and continue trusting Him.
