-Count it all joy.- These are familiar words to most Christians. But what do they mean- In what context were they written- And how do we, as Christians, apply them to our lives- In this sermon, -Tested and Tried,- Pastor Jesse Randolph addresses these and other matters in his verse-by-verse exposition of James 1-2-4.

Hosea, God's prophet to the northern kingdom of Israel, was called and commissioned by God, and then immediately commanded by God to marry a prostitute. But why- And for what purpose- In this sermon, -Marriage Material,- Pastor Jesse Randolph answers these and other questions as he introduces this verse-by-verse series through the Book of Hosea.

Who was James- To whom was he writing- What is the main purpose and idea of this fast-moving book- In this sermon, -Dear Diaspora,- Pastor Jesse Randolph answers these and other questions as he introduces this verse-by-verse series through the Book of James.

Two main ideas developed in the study of these verses include the call for believers to place their bodies and their minds upon the altar in presenting the whole of life in spiritual service dedicated to God.

Two major topics on the subject of the Trinity or triunity of God are discussed in this final study concerning Theology Proper. These include trinitarian relations and trinitarian heresies.

This session is part one of a study of the biblical passages and reasons for understanding the God of the Bible as being one God while being three in essence. The oneness of God and the triunity of God are categorically presented with the Scripture and explanations there of.

The church by name and claim only was called out by the Lord of the church for failing to be and do what was to be the real ministry and activity of the church. Pretenses only made them culpable to the judgment to come and were all the more repulsive to Christ as He walked among this church. In their thinking they were doing well and successful but in reality they were poor not rich or wealthy, miserable and blind to themselves as they carried on their fa-ade of being a church. Nonetheless Christ called them to repent and make the corrections that would still result in them being overcomers with promises for the future with Christ. How patient and gracious is the Lord and yet there is a divinely determined time when the offer is available before the judgment will come. Today the message sounds loudly to many churches who would receive an evaluation and rebuke.

This session presents the biblical argumentation for theodicy, the justification of God in regard to the presence of evil and suffering in the world He has created. Ten points draw the discussion to its conclusion with the final one being that -God has graciously provided salvation from sin.-

Christ's message to the church at Philadelphia was one of commendation and encouragement with promises to those who would be victorious in their stand against the pressures of evil forces and the testing's of the days they were living in. They had remained faithful to Christ and faithful in their witness of Him. Today the calling of every individual believer and each local congregation is to be faithful by keeping His word as it is timeless truth.

The sovereignty of God is the focus of this lesson considering what God has revealed in His word about His sovereignty. There is a helpful consideration of the scope and implications of Him being sovereign.
