Because the Christian Husband has been filled with the Spirit, the fruit of that will be seen in lovingly leading his Wife, as a picture of the relationship of Christ and the Church. Preached at RCC 8/23/26

Is the Bible in your hands, and in the hands of those to whom you give it, God's Word? That it is untampered with; no additions; no subtractions. That it is complete and therefore honoured by Him who has caused it to be written in Psalm 138.2, 'thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name'. If this is desirable of a translation which you are to use, and the church to use, must we not think that in earlier times the Greek-speaking Christians whose native language the New Testament was also wanted to know that the Bible in their hands was God's Word? Read this article to learn how we can know that we have the faithfully preserved Word of God.

What does Jesus want Christians to think when wars, earthquakes, famines, persecution, and false teachers dominate the headlines? In Mark 13:5-8, Jesus gives His disciples a crucial warning: "Watch out that no one deceives you," and "do not be alarmed." He describes a period called the "beginning of pains"—a time when His followers will face deception, disasters, and persecution while continuing the mission of preaching the gospel to the nations. In this study of Mark 13:5-8, we examine what Jesus meant by the beginning of pains and whether these events point to the destruction of Jerusalem, the Second Coming, or an unfolding prophetic process that began in the first century and continues until Christ returns.

My sermons are the fruit of nearly 30 years of pastoral ministry, biblical counseling, formal seminary training, and a lifelong passion for God's Word. Since childhood, I've been drawn to the beauty and power of expository preaching—opening Scripture verse by verse and applying it to real life. After graduating from Moody Bible Institute, I spent the next 27 years serving as a youth pastor, senior pastor, church planter, and host of the Food For Your Soul radio broadcast. Along the way, I also earned a Master of Sacred Literature and a Doctor of Religious Studies. For more content from D. Richard Ferguson, visit TreasuringGod.com.

This message addresses the spiritual bondage experienced by individuals recovering from trauma and occult involvement, using the metaphor of hostages to describe their initial state of fear and survival. It highlights what victims have been robbed of, such as innocence, peace, and trust, while emphasizing God's compassionate response to suffering through the lens of the Israelites' deliverance in Exodus. The preacher encourages believers to shift from a defensive posture to one of godly boldness by understanding their union with Christ and His authority over Satan. Practical strategies are offered for overcoming fear, including memorizing scripture, resisting spiritual blackmail, and focusing on God's character rather than the enemy's power. Ultimately, the message asserts that through the cross and the resurrection, Christ has defeated the adversary, allowing believers to live as victorious trophies of grace without fear.

The Morning Devotional Season 11 | Edition 74 August 24, 2026 Psalm 114 This devotional explores Psalm 114, interpreting the historical Exodus as a typological foreshadowing of spiritual redemption through Jesus Christ. The speaker highlights God's sovereign power over nature and His role in judging sin while delivering His people from bondage. By connecting the Passover lamb to Christ, the message emphasizes that believers are freed from slavery to sin and guided toward their ultimate heavenly rest. The sermon underscores the continuity between Israel's journey and the Christian life, portraying Jesus as the greater Moses leading the new Exodus. Ultimately, it calls for gratitude and praise for God's faithfulness in ensuring the believer's arrival at eternal dwelling with Him.

Rome takes over and makes the new "Sabbath" a law which if broken is punishable by excommunication and death.

The sermon examines Colossians 2:1-8 to warn believers against false teachings that compromise the sufficiency of Christ's work. It contrasts the apostle Paul, a true friend who encourages unity and spiritual growth, with potential enemies such as human philosophy, vain deceit, and religious traditions. The preacher emphasizes that Christians must remain rooted in Christ, relying on His finished works rather than man-made rules or empty wisdom. By maintaining steadfast faith and mutual love, believers can withstand spiritual warfare and avoid the disastrous consequences of ignoring divine warnings. Ultimately, the message calls for a return to simple trust in Scripture and gratitude for salvation by grace alone.

This study explores Prince Emmanuel's final address to the city of Mansoul in John Bunyan's The Holy War, focusing on why God allows original sin to remain in the regenerate. Guided by Alexander Whyte's commentary, we see that Christ leaves these internal remnants not out of weakness, but in divine wisdom to foster genuine humility, keep faith active, and demonstrate His long-suffering mercy. Classic commentators like George Burder provide essential historical and doctrinal context for translating Bunyan's military metaphors into daily Christian experience, while John Owen's Indwelling Sin supplies the clinical theological framework distinguishing between sin reigning and sin dwelling. Complemented by the intimate, searching prayers of Philip Doddridge, the discussion ultimately encourages weary believers to maintain constant vigilance, refuse any truce with remaining corruption, and take heart in Emmanuel's ultimate command and promise: "Hold fast till I come."

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1) For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. (1 John 5:7)
