Five Wednesday evenings. Serious content. Free entry. All welcome

In Part 9 of "Calling Out Carnality," Keith Voyles preaches from James 5 about fraudulent treasures. He warns against allowing money, possessions, and personal gain to define a person's life. Wealth itself is not sinful, but covetousness, fraud, selfish ambition, and living only to gain reveal carnality. The message calls believers to seek riches in Christ, live contentedly, treat workers honestly, and submit every plan and possession to the will of God. Primary text: James 5:1–6.

Did Jesus intend the widow's offering to be an example of sacrificial giving—or have we misunderstood one of the Bible's most famous stories? We examine the account commonly known as The Widow's Mite in its full biblical context. Rather than isolating these four verses, we'll trace Mark's argument through Jesus' final days in Jerusalem and ask whether Jesus was praising the widow's generosity—or exposing a corrupt religious system that "devoured widows' houses." This verse-by-verse sermon explores: Why the traditional interpretation raises difficult questions The immediate context of Mark 12 and Jesus' condemnation of the Temple leaders Whether the widow is presented as an example to imitate If you enjoy the episode, please consider subscribing to the podcast and leaving a 5-stars rating.

The sermon explores the spiritual lessons derived from Joshua chapter 13, focusing on the concept of remaining land that must still be possessed. It highlights how God continues to use believers in their senior years, emphasizing that service and fruitfulness do not cease with age. The message contrasts the incomplete conquest of the Canaanites with the complete satisfaction found in Christ as the Levite's inheritance. Through this biblical account, the preacher urges listeners to resist sin, remain content in God alone, and actively pursue a deeper walk with Him regardless of their life stage.
