Sometimes culture confronts us with what feels like an impossible choice.

Either compromise your faith, or risk looking foolish, irrelevant, or even offensive.

But Jesus faced these same kinds of traps — and He shows us a way forward.

I’m Brian Fenimore with Plumbline Ministries, and today we’re going to explore how Jesus modeled wise reasoning in the face of cultural pressure.

His answer in Matthew 22 isn’t just clever—it’s a model for how we, too, can rise above false dilemmas and live in Kingdom wisdom.

When people think of Jesus, they often picture the compassionate healer, the miracle worker, or the gentle teacher.

But few picture Jesus as a philosopher — a lover of wisdom, one who reasoned with brilliant clarity and challenged people to think deeply.

Yet Scripture presents Him exactly that way.

I’m Brian Fenimore with Plumbline Ministries, and today, we’re going to explore how Jesus modeled truthful thinking as a testimony to the Kingdom of God.

One encounter with Jesus can change everything.

In John 4, we meet a woman whose life was marked by failure, rejection, and shame.

But after meeting Jesus at a well, her story was rewritten — and her testimony sparked revival.

I’m Brian Fenimore with Plumbline Ministries.

Today we’re looking at the profound power of testimony — how God turns broken lives into vessels for awakening.

And as we’ll see, your story — no matter how messy — may be the key God uses to bring others to Himself.

Jesus understood the human heart like no one else. When He taught, He didn’t simply give facts or deliver theological lectures. He spoke in parables—stories that penetrated the soul, stories that unveiled the deeper realities of God’s Kingdom.

One of the most profound is found in Matthew 13 — the Parable of the Sower.

I’m Brian Fenimore with Plumbline Ministries, and today, I want to explore how this parable reveals not only the condition of hearts but the remarkable power of testimony.

Your testimony isn’t just a personal story — it’s a seed that carries the life of God. And as we sow it, we partner with Heaven in advancing His Kingdom.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is not just an Easter sermon.

It’s the foundation of our faith — and the fire that fuels our mission.

Hi, I’m Brian Fenimore with Plumbline Ministries, and today I want to talk to you about what it really means to be a resurrection witness. For the early Church, the resurrection wasn’t just a doctrine to defend. It was a living reality. A Person. A daily power.

So let me ask: What does it look like for you to live as a resurrection witness today?

Every answered prayer… every healing… every breakthrough…

These aren’t just personal victories — they’re invitations from God.

“Come and see what God has done.”

That’s the heart of testimony. It’s not about having a perfect story — it’s about pointing to a perfect Savior.

I’m Brian Fenimore with Plumbline Ministries, and today I want to talk to you about something that is central to advancing the Kingdom of God… your story.

God is not just doing things in your life for your benefit. He’s writing a testimony that builds faith, defeats lies, and glorifies Jesus.

When Jesus walked the earth, He wasn’t just a teacher or prophet. He was, as Revelation 3:14 says, “the faithful and true witness.”

He didn’t just speak truth — He embodied it.

Every word He spoke, every person He touched, every act of power and compassion… all of it revealed the Father.

And now — as His followers — we are called to do the same.

Our lives are meant to bear witness to His Kingdom, His mercy, His power.

I’m Brian Fenimore with Plumbline Ministries, and today, I want to walk with you through how Jesus witnessed to the Father — and how you and I are called to carry on that same testimony in our everyday lives.

What does it mean to be a witness?

In our modern thinking, we often imagine a person—a preacher, a prophet, or a martyr. But in the Old Testament, God used more than people to bear witness. He used stones, songs, altars, laws, and even nations to testify of His covenant, His character, and His faithfulness.

I'm Brian Fenimore from Plumbline Ministries, and today we're going to explore how God embedded sacred reminders into the story of His people. These physical witnesses pointed Israel back to truth, stirred their memory, and anchored their identity in the Lord.

And the same God still places reminders in our lives today.

What does it truly mean to be a witness?

In the New Testament, the word martys—which simply meant witness—evolved into something far deeper. It became synonymous with martyr—someone so committed to Jesus that they would rather die than deny Him.

This wasn’t a linguistic accident.

It revealed the heartbeat of the early Church: radical, uncompromising devotion to Christ, no matter the cost.

I’m Brian Fenimore from Plumbline Ministries. And today, I want to invite you into a sobering yet powerful truth: to follow Jesus is to be a witness—a martys—in life, and if necessary, in death.

Every human heart is searching.

We long for relationship.

We crave security.

We want our lives to mean something.

We chase joy.

We search for truth.

And the beauty of the Gospel is this: all of these desires find their fulfillment in Jesus Christ.

This is Brian Fenimore with Plumbline Ministries.

Today, I want to invite you to take a fresh look at the heart of the Gospel—not just as a message of salvation, but as God’s answer to our deepest longings.

Whether you’ve known the Lord for years or you’re just beginning to ask spiritual questions, this is a moment to reflect on how Jesus meets us—in the very places we hunger most.
