In this sermon from Exodus 20, Dylan Joyner examines the Second Commandment and explains how the one true God is to be rightly worshiped. While the First Commandment teaches that we must have no other gods, the Second Commandment addresses how God Himself must be worshiped—not according to human imagination, creativity, or preference, but according to what He has commanded in His Word. The sermon explains that God forbids His people from using idols, images, or created things to represent Him in worship. Because God is spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable, nothing in creation can adequately portray who He is. Any attempt to depict God necessarily falls short of His true glory and character. Dylan also explains how the Second Commandment provides the moral foundation for the regulative principle of worship: Christians are called to receive, observe, and preserve the worship and ordinances that God has appointed in Scripture, while rejecting forms of worship that He has not commanded. The sermon also addresses the use of images of Jesus, arguing that because Jesus Christ is truly God and truly man in one person, images of Christ cannot be separated from His divine identity. Instead of knowing God through images, believers are called to know Him through His Word and through Jesus Christ, the true image of the invisible God. Ultimately, the Second Commandment exposes the idolatry of the human heart and drives us to the gospel. Through Christ's perfect life, death, resurrection, and righteousness, believers are enabled to turn from false worship, love God more fully, and worship Him according to His Word.

Bible Reading: John 14:1-14;27-31 (KJV) Sermon Text: John 14:27 (KJV) "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." The Christian should: 1. Always look to Christ for his peace. 2. Never look to the world for its peace. 3. Enjoy the peace that the world gives. The sermon explores the supernatural peace offered by Jesus Christ, contrasting it with the temporary and superficial peace of the world. Drawing primarily from John 14:27 and Romans 5, the message establishes that true peace is a gift secured through Christ's sacrificial death and received by faith, resulting in reconciliation with God. The Holy Spirit serves as the Comforter who indwells believers, enabling them to maintain this peace amidst life's trials and external chaos. The preacher urges listeners to reject worldly anxieties and instead anchor their hearts in the finished work of the cross. Ultimately, the text calls for a continuous reliance on Christ to enjoy and let His peace rule within the believer's heart.

This sermon explores the dual narratives of Jairus and the bleeding woman in Mark chapter five to illustrate the nature of genuine faith. It emphasizes that true belief arises from recognizing one's own desperation and neediness rather than self-sufficiency. The preacher highlights Jesus' power over sickness and death, showing how He restores identity and offers peace to those who trust in Him. The message encourages listeners to move beyond mere proximity to Christ toward a deep, active faith that trusts His mercy even in hopeless situations. Ultimately, the sermon asserts that all things are ultimately healed through faith in Jesus, pointing to the future restoration of God's kingdom.

Title: "What if Jesus was God?" Mark 4:35-41 This passage is probably one of the most exciting sections of the entire New Testament. It basic covers chapters 4&5 of the gospel of Mark. And in this section we see Jesus proving that He has Power over Nature, power over demons , power over physical health(sickness), and power over death itself and they are arranged climactically to prover that He is sovereign over all things because Jesus is God.

This podcast explores the theological and practical implications of Jesus Christ's authority over death, primarily through an analysis of the resurrection of Lazarus in John 11. The podcast outlines how Christ's authority gives purpose to death, removes its inherent fear, and redefines it from a terminal end to a temporary transition. Key takeaways include the distinction between physical and eternal death, the role of divine timing in human suffering, and the ultimate conquest of death as the "last enemy." The analysis demonstrates that under Christ's authority, death is transformed from a meaningless event into a mechanism for divine glory, the strengthening of faith, and the fulfillment of prophetic programs.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
