Jesus in Psalm 59:14-15

This sermon explores the theological concept of the effectual call of God, emphasizing that salvation is a purposeful act of divine grace rather than human effort. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 1:26, the message highlights that God often chooses the weak and unwise to demonstrate that power and wisdom belong to Him alone. It contrasts the spiritual blindness of the natural man, who resists the truth, with the enlightenment of the believer, whose eyes are opened by the Holy Spirit to see Christ as the sole source of righteousness. The tone is celebratory and instructional, urging listeners to recognize their total dependence on God's initiative and to rejoice in the truth that they have been called out of darkness into marvelous light.

Sunday morning shouldn't feel like survival. In this episode of Discipleship for Dads, Kevin Swanson, Todd Strawser, Bill Roach, and Danny Craig talk through how to actually help your children engage in corporate worship — not endure it. Their conviction is simple: kids belong in the service, sitting under the preached Word alongside the whole body of Christ. But how do you get a two-year-old through a two-hour service? The men get honest and practical, sharing what's worked (and flopped) in their own families over the years. What you'll hear: • Why worship is a 3-day experience — and how Saturday night sets up Sunday • The dad's heart problem behind every rushed, distracted Sunday morning • Age-by-age tactics: toy bags and tracing sheets for the little ones, note-taking for the older ones • How to teach even a 4-year-old to sing (hint: it starts at bedtime) • "Downloading" the sermon on the way home — without roasting the pastor for lunch • Sending your kids out with a job: someone to encourage, someone to pray for, someone to serve Out of the mouths of babes and nursing infants, You have ordained strength (Psalm 8:2). Let's raise a generation that loves the gathering of God's people. Got a topic you want us to cover?

Episode 7 of Insaka Season 3 is now live! In this episode, we discuss Raising Leaders in the Church, considering the biblical responsibility of the church to identify, equip, mentor and raise faithful leaders for the generations to come. Leadership in the church is not simply about holding a position, but about serving Christ and His people with humility, faithfulness and godly character. Scripture calls the church to faithfully pass on truth, model godliness and prepare others to serve according to God's Word.

This Bible study examines the paradox of persecution in the early church, demonstrating how the stoning of Stephen and the subsequent scattering of believers by Saul inadvertently fulfilled Jesus' command to witness in Judea and Samaria. The narrative shifts focus to Philip, who travels to Samaria to proclaim Christ, performing signs and wonders that result in widespread joy and belief among the Samaritans. The discussion highlights the theological significance of the Holy Spirit's arrival through the apostles' laying on of hands, marking the inclusion of this new group into the body of Christ. A central conflict arises with Simon the Sorcerer, who attempts to purchase the spiritual power he observes, prompting Peter to confront him with a call to repentance from wickedness. The Bible study concludes by emphasizing that the gift of God cannot be bought and that genuine faith requires a right heart before God, contrasting the authentic work of the Spirit with human attempts to manipulate divine power.
