1 Samuel 25 - 30

This sermon examines the ministries of Elijah and Elisha within the historical context of 2 Kings, highlighting how God used their miraculous powers to demonstrate His sovereignty over the false gods of Israel. The message emphasizes that these signs served to authenticate the prophets' messages during a time of national apostasy, contrasting the era of divine demonstration with the current age of faith based on the completed canon of Scripture. It explores the theme of spiritual succession, illustrated by Elisha's request for a double portion of Elijah's spirit and his subsequent faithfulness in serving without seeking personal recognition. The preacher draws typological connections between these Old Testament figures and Jesus Christ, noting how their ministries point to the greater works believers are empowered to do through the indwelling Holy Spirit. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a recognition of God's remnant and an embrace of individual calling, urging believers to serve faithfully in their unique capacities rather than mimicking others.

Israel had a weakness for idols for Egypt! Gentiles are warned against them in N.T. Idols give no benefit and blind it's followers.

You prayed for the breakthrough. So why does the answer feel so hard? Pastor Ryan Haifley says the very thing we begged God for can become the thing we complain about. In this message, Pastor Ryan Haifley, head of school at Maranatha Christian Academy in Mattoon, Illinois, speaks at Quentin Road Baptist Church on being blinded by the process. Starting from Philippians 1:6, he follows Israel from the groaning in Egypt to the doorstep of Canaan and shows four blind spots that kept them from seeing what God was doing: they were frustrated with their freedom, forgetful of God's faithfulness, fatigued in their faith, and fearful of the fight ahead. Along the way he shares what God has taught him through five years of leading a Christian school, and he points us back to the God who will finish the good work He began in us. Don't let the wilderness blind you to the promise. Scripture referenced: Philippians 1:6; Exodus 2:23-25; Exodus 14:10-12; Exodus 16:1-3; Exodus 17:1-3; Matthew 6:25-26; Exodus 32:1-6; Isaiah 40:31; Hebrews 11:1; Numbers 14:2-4

Micah 1:5-13 (KJV) For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem? 6 Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof. 7 And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot. 8 Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls. 9 For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem. 10 Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust. 11 Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Beth-ezel; he shall receive of you his standing. 12 For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem. 13 O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.

This sermon examines the central tension in Isaiah chapters 7 through 12, where the nations of Judah and Israel face a critical decision between relying on political alliances with Assyria or trusting in Yahweh. The message highlights that while God permits Assyria to execute judgment on both kingdoms due to their rejection of Him, He simultaneously preserves a faithful remnant who actively turn back to Him in repentance. The preacher emphasizes that this historical context illuminates the prophetic promises of a coming Messiah, specifically referencing the signs of Emmanuel and the Prince of Peace, as the ultimate source of hope. The tone is instructional and pastoral, urging the audience to recognize that true repentance involves a change in behavior, not just attitude, and that God's zeal accomplishes His plan of salvation. Ultimately, the sermon presents the choice to trust God as the only path to escaping judgment and entering into the joy of His salvation.
