Christians should learn from the church's history while remaining governed by God's Word. Dave Jenkins explains the final authority of Scripture, the meaning of sola Scriptura, and the proper use of creeds and confessions. Drawing from 2 Timothy 3:16–17, Acts 17:11, and Jude 3, this episode shows how church history can expose blind spots, help believers recognize recurring errors, and deepen gratitude for Christ's faithfulness. Learn from faithful Christians of the past, test every teaching by Scripture, and keep your confidence in Jesus Christ.

What does the Scripture teach about marriage, divorce, and remarriage? What is our calling as the church when it comes to walking into circumstances facing individuals that are challenging and hard? Over 1 Corinthians 7:10-16, we see the Apostle Paul addressing these areas. Ultimately, we as Christians must think biblically so that we can bring Gospel grace and biblical truth to souls in need and for the guidance of our own lives!

The preached gospel is not so I can get life by faith. It is to motivate me to live life by faith. To live by faith is to live my life as one who is truly amazed that God's Son died for me. Really believing such as that changes how I live my life. The just shall live by faith.

Some call the Bible just a book of fairy tales, some call it a bronze age book that cannot be trusted. Some claim that it's a book filled with contradictions, historical inaccuracies and that it conflicts with modern scientific thought. But the Bible says in Psalm 119:160, "Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever." John 17:17 says, "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." And Jesus said, as is recorded in Matthew 5:18, "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." So is it possible to make a compelling case that Christian belief is based in evidential reality and is far from being a blind or naïve leap of faith? The answer to that is yes! Why do people question or even attack the Bible? Does "apologetics" mean Christians are apologizing for the Bible or their faith? What does it mean that the Bible is inspired by God? Is it inerrant, sufficient and complete? What are six of the most compelling lines of evidence related to the Bible? These and other related questions are answered by Todd Hampson.

Prayer is vital communication between us and God. But there can be hinderances to our prayers. Hear Pastor Brian explain some things that can be clogging our communication with God and how to fix those issues.

The sermon explores the multifaceted role of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer, emphasizing the necessity of staying spiritually attuned to His voice. It distinguishes the Holy Spirit's authentic communication, described as an unction or pressure, from the confusion caused by unclean spirits, urging believers to test all spirits against Scripture. The message highlights that the Spirit speaks to believers by guiding them into truth, speaks for them by interceding with unutterable groanings, and speaks with them by directing their actions and witness. Furthermore, it asserts that the Spirit speaks in believers, empowering them to proclaim the gospel and stand firm in confrontation. The overarching intent is to encourage a posture of humble obedience and reliance on the Spirit's leading rather than human understanding or self-reliance.

We return once more to this vital chapter. Here we have the doctrine of God's judicial hardening of Israel. Their table becomes a snare. God's blessings become a curse when people refuse to give Him thanks and instead boast in themselves and disobey God's commands.

This sermon explores the theological and practical implications of Jesus' question regarding the lawfulness of doing good on the Sabbath, using the healing of the man with the withered hand as a central text. The central message argues that saving life is a divine obligation that transcends ritual restrictions, requiring believers to actively preserve the physical and spiritual well-being of others. The exposition details four primary methods of saving life: rescuing those in immediate danger through warnings and intervention, providing necessary resources and sustained care, preventing harm through practical precautions and self-stewardship, and restraining sin through personal holiness and wise counsel. The tone is convicting and instructional, challenging the audience to move beyond passive religious observance to an active pursuit of mercy. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a holistic commitment to gospel witness and intercessory prayer, asserting that the Christian life is defined by a consistent effort to save souls rather than destroy them.
