Speaker: Eric Borlaug

In a world of rising skepticism and fading optimism, where can we find real hope? In this sermon, Brother Borlaug contrasts secular visions of progress and the “circle of life” with the Christian hope rooted in Jesus’ victory over death. He shows that only in Christ do we find lasting meaning, final justice, and a true home in God’s presence.

Scripture references: John 10:10; Ecclesiastes 1:15; 1 Corinthians 15:25–26; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; 1 John 3:2

Speaker: Eric Borlaug

In this lesson, Brother Borlaug explores our deep, universal need for meaning and contrasts secular attempts to “create our own purpose” with the biblical vision of being made in the image of God. Drawing on voices like Viktor Frankl, Leo Tolstoy, and modern atheists, he shows the weaknesses of a worldview without objective meaning and how suffering eventually strips away self-assigned purposes. He then unfolds the rich, durable meaning offered in Scripture: bearing God’s image, being refined through trials, and living in light of the final judgment and our future transformation in Christ.

Scripture References: John 7:37; John 10:10; Genesis 1:26–27; 1 Peter 1:6–7; Ecclesiastes 12:13–14

Speaker: Eric Borlaug

Brother Borlaug examines why skepticism is rising in our culture and how Christians can respond with both truth and compassion. From John 10, he contrasts the good shepherd who offers abundant life with the “thief” that steals and destroys, and shows that many doubts are driven by desire, pain, and social pressure more than pure logic. He then introduces the difference between objective evidence for faith and the deep, subjective longings for meaning, hope, love, and belonging that only Christ can truly satisfy.

Speaker: Dan Kingsley

In this lesson, Brother Kingsley asks, “Are you an Eight-Cow Christian?” Using the story of Johnny Lingo’s Eight-Cow Wife, he shows how the value we place on our spouse, our neighbors, and ourselves is transformed by the price Christ paid for us. Recognizing our worth in God’s eyes should change how we love in marriage, treat others, and live daily as disciples.

Speaker: John Gibson

Brother Gibson preaches on God’s command, “Be holy, for I am holy.” He shows how God’s holiness means separation from sin and dedication to Him in every part of life. Through Isaiah 6, Luke 5, and Revelation 4, we see how a true view of God leads to humility, confession, and worship. The lesson emphasizes the fear of God as the beginning of wisdom and a key part of a holy life.

Speaker: Drew Edwards

In this lesson, Drew Edwards continues our series on the hymn “Take Time to Be Holy” by exploring the words, “Be calm in thy soul.” True peace is not the absence of trouble, but a settled trust in God even when life is uncertain. Through the examples of Jesus, Hezekiah, Elijah, and others, we are reminded that calmness and peace are cultivated through prayer, Scripture, obedience, and learning to place what we cannot control into God’s hands.
