By neglecting one simple discipline, you are less able to benefit from the sermons you hear and the Bible passages you read. If that's true, wouldn't you like change? Wouldn't you like to get more out of the thousands of sermons you might hear in your lifetime? Wouldn't you like to remember more vividly what your family read for devotions yesterday? Wouldn't you like to better understand the holy will of God? If so, there's one simple thing you must do.

A most fitting meditation on the topic of FORGIVENESS brought on this SEPT 11.

The sermon emphasizes that true discipleship is defined by a word-centered faith that receives Christ's teachings as the authoritative Word of God. It highlights Jesus' role as mediator and advocate, who commends believers to the Father based on their reception of His message despite their inherent weaknesses. The preacher outlines specific attitudes required for proper reception, including faith, love for truth, meekness, and eagerness to understand Scripture. This faithful reception leads to growing assurance in Christ's identity and results in a life that bears spiritual fruit through meditation and obedience. Ultimately, the text encourages believers to rely on Christ's intercession while remaining steadfast in rejecting any doctrine that diminishes the primacy of God's Word.

Title: Talk About His Precepts Speaker: Creston Thomas Series: Psalm 119 Date: September 6, 2026 Bible: Psalm 119:78 The sermon explores Psalm 119:78, urging believers to trust God's vindication when facing false accusations and persecution from the proud. By analyzing the Hebrew word for 'let' as a humble plea rather than a command, the text emphasizes that it is appropriate to ask God to shame those who oppose His truth. The preacher illustrates this through Joseph's experience in Genesis, showing how he refrained from defending himself against Potiphar's wife and instead relied on God's timing. Believers are encouraged to meditate on God's precepts and silence their own defenses, allowing Scripture to speak for them. Ultimately, the message affirms that God faithfully honors His word and vindicates those who remain faithful amidst trials.
