Fear Not, Only Believe (Mark 5:21-43) This sermon explores the nature of genuine faith through the biblical account of Jairus and the woman with an issue of blood. It argues that true faith is not confidence in specific outcomes but a steadfast trust in Jesus Christ even when circumstances contradict our expectations. The preacher emphasizes that divine delays are purposeful, serving to deepen reliance on God rather than human resources or timelines. By examining how Jesus responds to both urgent need and apparent impossibility, the message highlights His sovereignty over life, death, and suffering. Ultimately, believers are called to reject fear and anchor their hope in the character of Christ, who remains trustworthy regardless of external conditions.

The coming of Christ to earth brings a heavenly, eternal kingdom for all who trust in Him to come with Him into the new heaven and earth. Jesus is the Way to Heaven.

Did you know that sitting in churches all across the country… are some garbage Charlies and some garbage Marys? There are so many Christians… who have all of the wealth of heaven at their disposal… but they're not using it! Did you know that when the Lord saved you… and put His Holy Spirit in you…He wanted you to live a life with authority and victory? Did you know that the Lord Jesus Christ wants you to reign… not someday in the "sweet by and by" …but right now… in the "nasty now and now"?

If the way that the Lord treated His rebellious people in the time of Jeremiah is to be repeated, then the people of God must batten down the hatches and prepare to be under the yoke of Islam.

Much energy, enthusiasm, and effort are required by the Christian as he takes part in the greatest race of all time.

The sermon explores the distinction between proximate and ultimate causes regarding God's blessing of the godly, using Psalm 18 as the primary text. It establishes that while God generally rewards righteous behavior, this is a secondary principle rather than the foundational reason for His grace. The preacher clarifies that human obedience is never perfectly blameless and cannot earn salvation or blessing on its own merit. Instead, the ultimate cause of all divine favor is the perfect obedience and substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ, who serves as the covenant head for believers. Consequently, believers are motivated to live righteously not by earning God's love, but by responding to the immense grace already provided through Christ.
