This week we look at hope spoken from the ruins — Jeremiah, having lost nearly everything, declaring that God's mercies are new every morning and His faithfulness is great. We'll explore what it means to find your portion in God Himself when everything material has been lost, and why this hope doesn't wait for circumstances to improve first.

We may safely conclude that Satan does not know the thoughts of man as God does. But still, as Satan is a spirit, he has a freer and more frequent intercourse with the human mind than many are aware of. I look at the mind as the spring, and thoughts as the streams issuing from it. Satan cannot exactly see or discern the spring head, nor perhaps all the streams. A good man may have many thoughts which Satan cannot be very privy to. I think that in the exercise of faith, love, hope, etc., thoughts must be employed as the mind is enlightened by the Holy Spirit.

Daily #Devotional for Monday 24th August 2026 "The Gospel on the Heart" by Rev. Roger Higginson #lisburnfpc #lisburnfpc

The sermon examines Ezekiel 18 to dismantle the excuse that individuals suffer for the sins of their ancestors, establishing that every soul is personally accountable to God. It highlights the theological truth that righteousness cannot be inherited and guilt cannot be transferred, emphasizing that each person stands alone before divine judgment. The passage reveals God's desire for repentance rather than condemnation, promising a new heart and spirit through the New Covenant. This Old Testament command finds its fulfillment in the New Birth described by Jesus, offering hope beyond human effort. The message concludes with an urgent call to cease blaming others and to actively pursue a life of continuous repentance and faith in Christ.

Pastor Jeremiah Gabbard | Actst 11:19-26 This sermon defines the characteristics of a genuine believer by examining the early church in Antioch as recorded in Acts 11. It argues that a Christ-like Christian must possess a heart grounded in devotion to the Lord, doctrine anchored in biblical truth rather than situational ethics, and a life that visibly reflects Christ to the world. The speaker warns against emotionalism and entertainment-driven worship, emphasizing that sound teaching and faithful obedience are essential for spiritual stability. By contrasting true discipleship with superficial association, the message calls believers to examine their own commitment and ensure their lives serve as evidence of their faith. Ultimately, the goal is for Christians to be conduits for God's work rather than obstacles in a corrupt world.
