This message describes the teachings Jesus gave about being faithful and wise as they look for His return for His people. Be challenged and motivated to live a life ready to meet Jesus.

The devotional draws a powerful contrast between generations that remember God's faithfulness and those that do not, using Israel's decline in Judges 2 as a cautionary example. It emphasizes that spiritual legacy is preserved not through passive inheritance but through intentional storytelling—sharing personal testimonies of answered prayer, divine provision, conversion, and the consequences of disobedience. The preacher calls believers to become 'storytellers' in their families, passing down both triumphs and failures to instill a living faith in future generations. By doing so, families can avoid the cycle of spiritual amnesia and the resulting tragedies seen in Israel's history. The message is both urgent and hopeful, urging parents and grandparents to invest in their descendants' spiritual formation through authentic, relational witness.

Shame and guilt are two crippling emotions that everyone has experienced on some level. In this text, Jesus is going to show us that no one is two far gone and no past is greater than the future hope that Christ provides! Outcasts are welcome!

This 44th sermon of Pastor Merson's series on Romans explores Romans Chapter 11 to affirm that God remains faithful to His covenant with Israel despite their current rejection of Jesus as Messiah. It refutes the notion that God has abandoned His people, arguing instead that their stumbling served a divine purpose by opening salvation to the Gentiles. Pastor Merson emphasizes that this inclusion of Gentiles is intended to provoke Israel to jealousy and eventual restoration, rather than to justify boasting against them. Using historical analogies and Old Testament references, this message underscores that God's promises are immutable and will be fully realized in the future. Believers are called to live as visible testimonies of Christ's grace, demonstrating humility and hope while awaiting the ultimate fulfillment of God's redemptive plan.

This sermon recaps a summer study on the life of Abraham, emphasizing that Scripture is designed to transform hearts rather than merely inform minds. The speaker highlights key lessons from Genesis 12, illustrating that true faith begins with a step of obedience even without full knowledge of the future. It addresses the reality that the life of faith includes failure but relies on God's patience and grace for growth. The message encourages believers to surrender control, trust in God's promises over their circumstances, and prioritize communion with Him as the ultimate goal. By anchoring trust in God's character rather than human understanding, individuals can navigate uncertainty with confidence in His direction.

Hebrews 2:10 makes the statement that it was "fitting" for the Creator who is the Son to bring many sons to glory through suffering. We highlight and explain key theological words from the original Greek which profoundly describe the unique role of the Son in His redemptive work. The suffering of Messiah likely offended some Jews since they were expecting a conquering King to vanquish Israel's enemies. Instead, He came to suffer and through His death pay the penalty for sin. This made possible the bringing of mans sons to glory. The verses we cover are rich with allusions to the OT. We cite the pertinent passages and show how they apply. God brough Israel to Himself through the Exodus and revealed His glory at Sinai. Yet they were separated from God because they could not even touch Sinai lest they die. Jesus brings sons to Himself and promises future glory for all who belong to Him. We cite passages in Romans 8 which demonstrate this truth. We also cite Psalm 22 which is referenced here in Hebrews as well as Isaiah 8. Messiah calls believers "brothers" in Psalm 22:22. God gives children to the Son. The glory of salvation is thematic here and we explain the full impact of what it means to be saved.

Ecclesiastes 11 teaches us to live faithfully and courageously while trusting God with the uncertainties of the future. Dave Jenkins explains why wisdom acts without demanding perfect certainty, accepts the limits of human understanding, refuses to be controlled by fear, and receives life as a gift from God. We may not know what tomorrow holds, but through Jesus Christ, we know the One who sovereignly holds our future.

This kids message explores the Seventh Commandment through the lens of faithfulness, using reserved seats as an illustration for marital exclusivity and spiritual devotion. It connects the call for husbands and wives to remain faithful to one another with the broader biblical theme of God's covenant love for His people. The message emphasizes that while humans often fail in their fidelity, Jesus remains perfectly faithful to the church despite human unfaithfulness. This divine constancy serves as both a model for human relationships and a source of comfort and forgiveness for believers. Ultimately, the teaching urges all ages to practice faithfulness in heart, word, and action, reflecting Christ's sacrificial love.
