fear on SermonAudio

What would happen if we stopped letting fear, criticism, or shame keep us from sharing the greatest message this world has ever heard? This message challenges us to remember that the Gospel is for anybody, the Gospel has proof, the Gospel was promised, and the Gospel penetrates hearts. So as believers, we have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

The paths of three desperate people converge with Jesus. He transform them with tenderness, willingness and power.

AI Ethical Considerations Faith Debate: Sunday, September 6th, 2026 (09/13/26 on 930 WFMD in Frederick, Maryland) People respond to AI with excitement/fear/everything between. Are the responses theologically sound, or driven by personality & culture? Some embrace "Artificial Intelligence" for productivity in sermon prep/evangelism/Bible study. Others are anxious over deception, loss of human connection, doctrinal dilution, & the erosion of pastoral care. Some treat AI as evidence the End Times are here. Is any of this based on Christian reasoning; or are saints importing secular anxieties/enthusiasms? Excitement/terror about AI can reveal more about a person's view of providence & human depravity than about AI itself. Are fears legit? Which concerns deserve weight? Which are technophobia dressed in piety? This episode is part 4 of a 5-part conversation (piggybacking on a 2-part AI discussion from earlier in 2026).

In this Weekly Watch episode, Dave Jenkins examines four trends shaping a post-truth culture: personal experience as authority, technology as a source of salvation, spirituality without biblical truth, and biblical vocabulary detached from biblical meaning. Christians are called neither to fear nor obsession, but to watchfulness rooted in the sufficient Word of God. This episode equips believers to test every claim, discern the worldview beneath cultural trends, and remain firmly anchored in Jesus Christ.

Without a doubt-this parable should be the most applied scripture into the heart of every pastor who stands in pulpits across America today bringing God Word to thousands weekly. Perhaps we would see less false conversions and no manipulation used to get the numbers up in their news announcements. Because this passage explains to believers the true response of hearts to the Gospel of Jesus Christ . Perhaps we as believers need to understand that only God can plow a heart , it is not a natural thing to love God and that is exactly what God does to a heart, changing a heart of hate to a heart that loves God and truly want to worship Him.

The Stirring of God This message from Haggai 1 centers on the danger of allowing fear, opposition, comfort, and self-focus to replace obedience to God's assignment. Judah had been delivered from Babylon, restored to Jerusalem, given resources, authority, and a clear mandate to rebuild the temple. But when opposition came, they stopped the work and gradually turned their attention toward their own houses, possessions, and comfort. The unfinished temple became a picture of neglected kingdom priorities. God responded through Haggai with the repeated command, "Consider your ways." The people were sowing much but harvesting little, earning wages but never seeming to have enough, and working hard without satisfaction. God explained that their barrenness was not accidental; He was using their circumstances to expose that their priorities had become disordered. The message emphasizes that hardship does not always mean someone is out of fellowship with God, but every believer should regularly examine his or her ways before the Lord and ask whether fear, distraction, or self-interest has displaced what God has clearly given them to do. The turning point came when Zerubbabel, Joshua, and the remnant obeyed the voice of the Lord. Once they returned to the work, God gave them one of the most powerful assurances in the book: "I am with you." The message stresses that their greatest problem was not their past failure but their present commitment. They did not have to recover fifteen wasted years before obeying; they simply needed to turn and respond to God now. The sermon connects this truth with Elisha in 2 Kings 3, Gideon in Judges 6, and Joshua. In each example, God gave people a

The sermon explores the necessity of including God in one's personal equation for spiritual victory, using Caleb as a primary example of unwavering faith amidst overwhelming odds. It contrasts the fearful report of the ten spies with Caleb's confident belief that God enables believers to overcome seemingly insurmountable giants and obstacles. The speaker emphasizes that true faith provides peace, motivates holy passion for action, and secures the certainty of God's promises despite difficult circumstances. By trusting in God rather than relying on human strength or favorable conditions, individuals can access divine power to possess their spiritual inheritance. Ultimately, the message encourages listeners to exercise even a small amount of faith to achieve victory through Christ.

This sermon addresses the profound pain of sudden tragedy, rejecting the notion that suffering is a direct measure of personal sin. It emphasizes that Jesus, as a man of sorrows, intimately understands human grief and draws near to those with broken hearts. The message encourages honest lament and reliance on God's presence amidst anger, guilt, and fear, rather than suppressing emotions. It offers hope through the resurrection, promising that God will ultimately wipe away all tears and end suffering in eternity. Finally, it invites both the grieving and the unsaved to find peace and salvation by calling upon Jesus Christ.
