Three Secrets of Well Diggers Genesis 26:1–33 Worship • Witness • Wells Revival is not about finding a new fountain but removing whatever hinders the living water of Jesus from flowing through our lives. This message explores the life of Isaac and the example of his father Abraham to reveal three essential characteristics of a revived believer: a life of worship, an authentic witness, and a commitment to helping others experience the life-giving grace of God. Abraham's pattern of building altars, pitching tents, and digging wells illustrates a life devoted to God's presence, lived with the understanding that this world is not our permanent home, and invested in meeting the needs of others. In Genesis 26, Isaac faced a famine while carrying God's extraordinary covenant promises. Yet, despite God's assurance that He would be with him, Isaac allowed fear to influence his decisions, deceiving others about his relationship with Rebekah. His experience demonstrates how believers can possess God's promises and remain in the place He has assigned them while allowing fear, self-preservation, and worldly distractions to compromise their fellowship with Him and weaken their witness. The message identifies three secrets of well diggers: 1. The Altar — Our Worship. Like Abraham, believers must make fellowship with God their highest priority. Worship is more than attending services; it is a surrendered life shaped by God's Word, sustained by His grace, and devoted to His glory. Public service for the Lord must flow from private fellowship with Him. 2. The Tent — Our Witness. Abraham lived as a pilgrim, looking for a city whose builder and maker is God. Likewise, followers of J

God is a God of judgment. No question about it. But what does this mean? What is judgment? Above all, what is God‟s judgment? Is it something for believers to rejoice in, or is it something for them to fear? And when preaching the gospel, is God‟s judgment something they should keep quiet about, or, at least, play down?1 And it surely makes a difference when we talk of God‟s judgment of evil in the abstract – as it were, outside of ourselves – and God‟s judgment of us individually and personally. You remember how David reacted when he was confronted by Nathan: the king was righteously angry with the rich man over his evil treatment of the poor man and his only ewe (2 Sam. 12:5-6), but the moment the sin – which he was rightly condemning in the other – was brought home to himself, to his conscience – when Nathan exclaimed: „You are the man!‟ (2 Sam. 12:7) – David was mortified and repentant (2 Sam. 12:13; Ps. 51).

They Came Home This message explores the true meaning of homecoming through three biblical scenes, revealing that coming home is more than returning to a familiar place or gathering with familiar people. True homecoming is about what God has done in us, what He is doing through us, and what He still desires to do with us. Each scene illustrates the redeeming grace, transforming power, and continuing purpose of God in the lives of those who respond to Him. The first scene, in Luke 15, reveals a son who came home to testify about what God had done in him. The prodigal son left his father's house believing he knew a better way to live. His self-centered decisions led him into reckless living, wasted resources, and eventually the misery of a hog pen. Yet, when he came to himself, he remembered his father's goodness, recognized his own sin, and returned home in repentance. His father received him with compassion and celebrated his restoration. This beautiful picture reminds us that God's grace can reach us in our lowest condition, transform our thinking, and redirect our lives. The scars of yesterday do not have to define tomorrow when God plants His truth in our wounded hearts. The second scene, in Acts 14, reveals missionaries who came home to declare what God had done through them. Paul and Barnabas returned to Antioch after proclaiming the gospel, making disciples, enduring persecution, and witnessing God's marvelous work among the Gentiles. Their testimony wasn't centered on their accomplishments but on God's faithfulness. Their example challenges every believer to live as an everyday missionary, recognizing homes, workplaces, communities, and ordinary circumstances as

This sermon explores the nature of genuine love within the context of Christian marriage, distinguishing it from infatuation and cultural misconceptions. It outlines ten specific characteristics of true love, including responsiveness to the whole person, reverence, self-giving, responsibility, joy in companionship, protection, belonging, mutual understanding, and dynamic growth. The speaker emphasizes that a healthy home environment, characterized by balanced parental roles and open communication, is the primary preparation for a successful marriage. By contrasting these biblical principles with societal trends, the message calls believers to view marriage as a sacred covenant that reflects the character of Christ. The sermon concludes with a practical assignment to measure one's own love against the description of Christ in 1 Corinthians 13, encouraging a deeper, more intentional commitment to one's spouse.

We call the last 24 hours of history "the news," and modern Christians spend a LOT of time on it. But how important is it to God? Does the Bible say something about keeping up with the news? How much does it call us to know what is happening at home, or around the world? Kevin Swanson and Joshua Schwisow go to scripture to find the answers, and discern what matters most to God out of the billions of events in the past day. They discuss… - To what extent we are obliged to know what is going in order to know the signs of the times - What the difference is between news and gossip – and how this affects our use of social media - Why almost EVERYTHING on both Fox and CNN is not worth watching according to biblical principles of news - Why scripture would have us limit our interest in political news – and how much weight we should give it - How to discerning the core lessons and applications in news of disasters (rather than just being emotionally moved or titillated by them) Got a topic you want us to cover?

This sermon addresses parents and grandparents, urging them to prioritize the spiritual formation of their children and grandchildren by capturing their hearts through authentic faith and consistent testimony. Drawing primarily from Proverbs 23:26, the message argues that revival begins in the home rather than the church, challenging believers to move beyond mere religious instruction to a life of genuine devotion that children can observe and emulate. The speaker outlines three principles: establishing a foundation of real, non-hypocritical faith; elevating children to a higher standard rather than lowering oneself to their level; and illuminating their path by sharing compelling stories of God's faithfulness and supernatural intervention. Through personal anecdotes and biblical examples, the preacher emphasizes that children are influenced more by what they see and hear in their family's daily life than by formal teaching, urging families to actively engage in discipleship and share the victories of their spiritual journey.
