In this sermon, Pastor Rockhill expounds on Psalm 25, highlighting the multifaceted prayer of David who seeks deliverance, guidance, and forgiveness amid affliction. He identifies with the oppressed, aimless, and sinful man, urging congregants to lift their souls in prayer to the Lord, just as David did. Pastor Rockhill reflects on the various types of enemies and struggles we face, both external and internal, reminding the congregation that like David, they too may feel desolate and afflicted in times of trouble. The sermon draws attention to the need for divine direction in life, emphasizing the importance of seeking God's wisdom through His Word and the Holy Spirit. Pastor Rockhill encourages believers to place their trust in God's character, which is good and upright, and to rely on His promises of justice and mercy. He reassures the congregation that God hears their prayers for deliverance and offers forgiveness through Jesus Christ. Ultimately, the message is one of hope, urging individuals to wait on the Lord and to trust in His perfect timing for guidance and healing in their lives.

This sermon examines the account of the Gerasene demoniac in Mark 5 to illustrate that human effort is insufficient to overcome spiritual bondage, whereas Jesus possesses the exclusive power to deliver and restore. The message highlights the enemy's tactics of isolation and division, contrasting them with the unified front of the demonic forces known as Legion. It emphasizes that Jesus intentionally seeks out the lost individual, crossing barriers to offer compassion and freedom where no other person can succeed. The preacher urges the congregation to recognize the destructive nature of sin and the importance of church unity in the face of spiritual opposition. Ultimately, the text affirms that Jesus remains the only one capable of taming the uncontrollable and saving souls, calling believers to trust in His power over all circumstances.

The sermon examines the spiritual danger of forgetting God's past faithfulness, drawing a parallel between the apostasy of ancient Israel and the modern tendency to attribute blessings to self-effort or secular ideologies. By contrasting the revolutionary ideology of Karl Marx with the evangelistic approach of D.L. Moody, the message argues that societal ills are best addressed through individual salvation and the power of the Gospel rather than political upheaval. The central theological theme, rooted in Jeremiah 2, highlights God's active remembrance of His covenant people's early devotion, contrasting this with humanity's failure to recall His deliverance from Egypt. The preacher emphasizes that while God remains attentive to His promises, His people often forsake the fountain of living waters for broken cisterns of vanity. The sermon concludes with a pastoral invitation to repent and return to God, asserting that national and personal restoration begins with individual faithfulness and reliance on divine grace.

There is nothing too hard for the Lord. Believers can trust in His ability to save the lost, transform sinners into children of blessing, and subdue all iniquities.

This sermon explores the theological significance of the Feast of Unleavened Bread in Exodus 12, connecting the removal of leaven to the believer's sanctification and the burial of Christ. The message emphasizes that while the Passover lamb points to redemption, the unleavened bread illustrates the necessity of removing sin from one's life as a response to that grace. It highlights the importance of ordinances like baptism and the Lord's Supper as visible reminders of God's deliverance, urging believers to maintain a consistent holiness throughout the week rather than observing a superficial, Sunday-only piety. The sermon further interprets the application of blood with hyssop as a picture of faith resting on Christ's finished work, and concludes with a call to preserve the story of redemption for future generations through teaching and worship.
