Midnight in Egypt. A cry no one had ever heard before, and none like it would be heard again. The tenth plague was the worst of them all, and yet in the middle of the judgment, God wrote out a way of escape that anyone could take: a spotless lamb, a doorway, and blood. In this message from the series Is The Old Testament Obsolete?, Pastor Jim Scudder opens Exodus 11 and 12 at Quentin Road Baptist Church on the Feast of Tabernacles weekend and walks through the night of the first Passover. He shows why the lamb lived in the house for four days before it was killed, why no bone could be broken, and how the hyssop, the roasting, and the unleavened bread all point forward to Jesus. Along the way he traces the seven festivals of Israel from Passover to Tabernacles, and explains the Passover Seder traditions of the three matzahs, the four cups, and the empty seat for Elijah. He also takes up a sharp question: if every firstborn died, why didn't Pharaoh? Pastor Scudder lays out the biblical dating of the Exodus and the Pharaoh who fits the evidence. Then he brings it home. Jesus was examined for four days in Jerusalem and no fault was found in Him, and He died at sunset as the Passover lambs were being killed. When the blood is applied by faith, the second death passes over you.

WHEN THE CHURCH MAKES JESUS HARD TO SEE.[WHAT HAPPENS WHEN OUR WALK DOESN'T MATCH OUR TALK?] TITUS 1:15–16; MATTHEW 5:16 KJV Titus warns of those who "profess that they know God; but in works they deny him." An inconsistent Christian testimony can make it harder for children, co-workers, neighbors, and unbelievers to see Christ clearly. Yet Christianity is not about pretending believers never fail. David confessed, Peter wept, and the prodigal arose and went home. The world doesn't need Christians who pretend they never sin; the world needs Christians who refuse to make peace with their sin. This post-revival message challenges the church to move from profession to practice, from conviction to change, and from merely telling people about Jesus to letting them see Christ reflected through our lives. Revival isn't proved by what happened during the meeting. Revival is proved by what changes after the meeting."LORD, CLEAN THE WINDOW—AND LET THEM SEE JESUS."

Part one of a two-part message on Philippians 2:1-6, and the tenth message in Pastor Robert Rohlin's study of Philippians. Epaphroditus has carried good news and hard news from Philippi to Paul's prison cell - a joyful church with a crack in it, and two faithful women, Euodia and Syntyche, who no longer get along. Rohlin works through the four cords Paul uses to hold a church together: consolation in Christ, the comfort of love, the fellowship of the Spirit, and compassion from the deepest part of a person. He then turns to the mindset that keeps unity - one mind, one love, one accord - and to the two things that kill it, selfish ambition and empty glory. Division inside a church, he says, is more dangerous than any enemy outside it, and it almost always starts over something small. Why listen? Because the little things are what divide people, at church and at home. Rohlin brings in the rowers of Ben Hur pulling to one drumbeat, the church at Ephesus that kept its programs and lost its first love, D. L. Moody quietly shining the shoes of visiting preachers at Northfield, and the man who comforted a young widow by polishing her children's shoes for their father's funeral. You will get a plain definition of humility - not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less - and a test you can put to your own attitude this week. Part two picks up the mind of Christ in verses 5 and 6.

This sermon explores the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15, emphasizing the universal theme of loss, search, and rejoicing found in Jesus' three parables. The speaker highlights the younger son's wasteful departure and subsequent humility, contrasting it with the father's immediate, unconditional restoration of his son's status through the robe, ring, and shoes. A central theological point is that the relationship between God and His people pre-exists their spiritual wandering; believers remain God's children even when they live as prodigals in the lap of His luxury. The message calls for genuine repentance, defined by a change in direction and a return to God's presence, urging the audience to recognize their need for grace and to actively seek reconciliation with the Father who waits on the highway.

This sermon examines the biblical mandate for believers to avoid corrupt communication and instead speak words that edify and minister grace to others. Drawing primarily from Ephesians 4:29, the message contrasts the harmful, self-centered, and often idle speech of the world with the intentional, value-driven language of a child of God. It highlights the connection between the heart and the mouth, urging listeners to control their tongues to prevent decay and sin. The speaker emphasizes that Christian speech should be seasoned with grace, tailored to the specific needs of the listener, and capable of bringing comfort and hope. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a transformation in how believers interact in homes, churches, and workplaces, ensuring that every word contributes to building up the body of Christ.

His ordinary means of spiritual and temporal blessing is through Godly wisdom, through God given authority in the home. Proverbs 3:1-8 1. God's Ordained Authority 2. Content of Godly Direction 3. Blessings for Godly Obedience

This sermon explores Psalm 126 as a reflection on the believer's existence within the tension of past redemption, present suffering, and future hope. It highlights the joy that arises from God's past faithfulness, contrasting it with the current reality of sowing in tears and enduring sorrow. The message emphasizes that while Christians live in a broken world between the two advents of Christ, they are called to trust in God's promise of ultimate restoration. By connecting the act of sowing with the work of the gospel, the sermon encourages believers to persevere in their duties and prayers, knowing that present weeping will eventually give way to eternal shouts of joy.

And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, **I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.** (Genesis 17:1) *1/ Where we are to walk before God. 2/ How we are to walk before God.* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon explores the command to "walk before me and be thou perfect" found in Genesis 17:1, emphasizing that this walk is a continuous, visible reality before an all-seeing God. It distinguishes between walking "with" God and walking "before" Him, illustrating the latter as living under divine observation in all areas of life, from the workplace to the family home. The message argues that true faith is evidenced by consistent conduct rather than mere profession, drawing on examples like Enoch, Noah, and Abraham. The preacher outlines specific markers of this walk, including humility, holiness, love, dependence on God, and obedience to His Word. Ultimately, the sermon encourages believers to find comfort in God's constant presence and to pursue a life of integrity that reflects His glory in a fallen world.
