The sermon uses the biblical account of Joshua's curse on Jericho and its fulfillment in the life of Hiel to warn against disregarding God's Word. It argues that modern culture often diminishes the fear of God, leading believers to rebuild spiritual strongholds they or previous generations fought to destroy. The preacher emphasizes that ignoring divine commands results in inevitable loss and consequences, regardless of how much time passes. By contrasting Israel's obedience with Hiel's self-will, the message highlights the danger of allowing worldly influences to override biblical authority. Ultimately, it calls listeners to remain separate from the world and submit fully to Scripture to avoid spiritual ruin.

The sermon analyzes Leviticus 26 to demonstrate that human history is a single narrative driven by God's unwavering covenant faithfulness rather than human performance. It contrasts the blessings of obedience with the severe curses of disobedience, establishing that Israel's exile was a disciplinary measure intended for repentance rather than final abandonment. The preacher argues that while Israel failed to keep the law, God remained faithful to His promises to the patriarchs, ensuring their ultimate restoration. This historical pattern points toward the New Testament fulfillment where Christ bears the curse and secures redemption for all who believe. The message concludes with a call to hope, asserting that God's plan will culminate in the final restoration of all things and the return of Jesus.

Sermon | Galatians 3:13-18 | Sunday Morning Service, August 30, 2026. Preacher: Salbert Mampone The sermon addresses the believer's assurance of salvation by contrasting human performance with God's unchangeable covenant. Using Galatians 3, it explains that Christ redeemed believers from the curse of the law by becoming a curse Himself, securing righteousness through faith alone. Salbert Mampone emphasizes that salvation is guaranteed by God's faithful promise to Abraham and confirmed in Christ, rather than by adherence to legalistic standards. This theological foundation provides believers with a secure identity based on God's character and finished work, not their own fluctuating feelings or deeds. Consequently, Christians are called to rest in this blessed assurance and worship the covenant-keeping God who justifies them.

Adam & Christ: Reversing the Curse of Death (Part 1)

This sermon explores the narrative of the Ark of the Covenant's captivity among the Philistines in 1 Samuel 5, highlighting God's absolute supremacy over false gods like Dagon. The preacher draws a parallel between this event and the Exodus, illustrating how God allows Himself to be exiled to bear the curse of sin, ultimately pointing to Christ's victory on the cross. By tracing the Ark's journey through Ashdod, Gath, and Ekron, the text demonstrates that divine judgment falls upon idolatry while simultaneously revealing the gospel hope. The message warns modern believers against suppressing the truth through idolatry, urging them to fear and worship the sovereign Lord who carries His people.

The sermon teaches that Abram's journey of faith begins not with his own faithfulness, but with God sovereignly calling an idolater to leave his country, family, and former life and trust entirely in Him. God promises to make Abram a great nation, bless him, make his name great, and ultimately bring blessing to all the families of the earth through his seed, showing that God's grace and promises precede Abram's obedience. Abram then demonstrates genuine faith by acting upon God's Word, leaving Haran without knowing exactly where he is going and patiently trusting God even when he discovers that the promised land is still occupied by the Canaanites. When the Lord appears to him in Canaan, Abram responds by building altars, worshiping, and calling upon the name of the LORD, marking the restoration of the faithful line that seeks God's glory rather than its own. The sermon concludes that Abram's pilgrimage points beyond Canaan to the greater inheritance found in Christ: God calls sinners out of their old lives, removes their curse through Christ, gives them faith to follow Him, and calls them to patiently trust His promises even before they can see their fulfillment, because true faith acts when God speaks.
