Deliverance on SermonAudio

This exposition of Psalm 33 highlights the sovereignty of God over all creation and the futility of human pride and power. The sermon contrasts the inability of kings, armies, and human strength to provide salvation with the divine ability to judge the wicked and preserve the righteous. It emphasizes God's omniscience, noting that He sees all the works and hearts of men, which should inspire awe and accountability. Central to the message is the assurance that God's eye is upon those who fear Him, offering deliverance from death and sustenance in times of famine. The sermon concludes with an encouragement for believers to wait on the Lord, trusting in His mercy and holy name as their ultimate help and shield.

This sermon explores the theological assurance that God's covenant promises to the nation of Israel remain irrevocable, centering on the declaration in Romans 11 that all Israel shall be saved. The teaching examines prophetic passages from Isaiah, Jeremiah, and 2 Samuel to illustrate the future national restoration, reunification, and spiritual renewal of Israel, including the fulfillment of the Davidic covenant through the Messiah. It contrasts the current age of grace, where Gentiles have access to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, with the future timeline of Israel's deliverance and the establishment of God's kingdom. The tone is instructional and comforting, emphasizing that God's character is unchanging and His word is trustworthy, urging believers to find their ultimate security and identity in Christ rather than in their own efforts or worldly circumstances.

The sermon examines Exodus 11, focusing on the announcement of the final plague and the impending deliverance of Israel from Egypt. It highlights God's sovereign foreknowledge and the certainty of His promises, contrasting Pharaoh's hardened heart with the favor granted to Moses and the Israelites. The central theological theme is the distinction between judgment and salvation, which is not based on human merit or national identity but solely on the application of blood. This Old Testament narrative is presented as a type of the New Testament gospel, where Jesus Christ, the true Firstborn, offers eternal life to those who believe. The message serves as a convicting warning against spiritual pride and a comforting assurance that the cross has fully satisfied God's justice for believers.

"Borrowed Bread — We Know a Man Who Can." The message centers on the truth that we know a Man who can—Jesus—and everything we have becomes useful, fruitful, and sufficient when surrendered into His hands. The feeding of the multitude shows that what appears small and ordinary in our hands can become extraordinary when given to Him. The storm reveals His authority over the natural world, and the deliverance of the demoniacs demonstrates His authority over the spiritual realm. In every case, the answer is not found in human ability but in the sufficiency of Jesus. From there, the message develops the idea that we are all living on "borrowed bread." None of us truly directs our own steps or produces spiritual light, wisdom, righteousness, or strength from ourselves. Jeremiah 10 reminds us that "it is not in man who walks to direct his own steps," so the proper prayer is not merely, "Lord, fix what I'm going through," but, "Lord, correct me and prepare me for what I'm going through." We need God's light to reveal what is wrong, His grace to remove it, and His goodness to replace it. The message also emphasizes the necessity of a renewed mind and daily surrender. Romans 12 warns against being conformed to the world's blueprint—a way of living that attempts to navigate suffering, decisions, relationships, and hardship without factoring God into the equation. Instead, believers are called to present themselves as living sacrifices and allow the Lord to transform their thinking. This produces a holy "fear of missing out"—not fear of the world, but a reverent desire not to miss what God wants to teach, reveal, or accomplish in us today. A major practical truth is that the fles

This sermon examines 1 Samuel 10 to reveal how God equips, remains faithful, and saves despite human rejection. The preacher highlights the anointing of Saul and the confirming signs as evidence of divine empowerment, contrasting Saul's reluctance with the believer's call to faithful stewardship of God's gifts. The narrative shifts to the public coronation at Mizpah, where Samuel reminds Israel of God's past deliverances and exposes their sin in rejecting Him as King. Despite Israel's unbelief, God remains sovereign, choosing Saul by lot and establishing the kingdom under His rule, demonstrating that human faithlessness does not nullify divine faithfulness. Ultimately, the sermon points beyond earthly kings like Saul and David to Jesus Christ, the true King who alone can save sinners and reign forever.

Who Can This Be? Psalm 107:23-32, Luke 8:22-25 October 4, 2026

This is the third part of Praying the Word of God discussing how to use the Word in our prayer life for deliverance in engaging the powers of darkness. This Spiritual Warfare teaching comes from years of research, personal involvement and commitment to see others released from the grips of the enemy. This is the audio content from the radio program called The Invisible War.

In this evening message from Acts 12:1-17, Pastor Rockhill considers the dramatic deliverance of Peter from Herod's prison and the fervent prayer of the church that surrounded it. He sets the scene against a shifting tide of persecution, as the Roman authorities, in the person of Herod Agrippa I, take up the sword against Christ's people, martyring James and seizing Peter during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Pastor Rockhill's central burden is that God truly hears and answers the fervent prayers of His people. While Peter lay chained between soldiers in a maximum-security cell, the church gathered to pray—not as a last resort, but as their first line of defense. He draws on James 5, that the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much, and on Peter's peaceful sleep as a picture of confidence in a sovereign Lord. The account exposes the believers' own surprise when the answer came: Rhoda's joy, the gathering's disbelief, and their astonishment when Peter stood knocking at the gate. Pastor Rockhill gently rebukes the doubt that so often accompanies even faithful prayer, reminding hearers that the God of the impossible delights to work beyond what we imagine. The application is pointed and pastoral: believers are called to pray persistently, confidently, and without doubt, trusting that God answers according to His holy and perfect will—always for our greatest good and His glory. What a privilege, Pastor Rockhill urges, that we may bring our petitions before a God who hears, cares, and acts.
