James 2:8-13 should blast away anyone's desire to categorize some of our sins as small and (actually) no big deal. "Well, at least I'm not a murderer or a rapist..." This convicting message focuses on the sin of choosing people in church to hang out with who have the potential to provide us with something we want, instead of others who seem to have less potential.

Once Jezebel hears of Elijah's victory over the prophets of Baal she is furious, and threatens death to the man of God. This is the Thirty Sixth Sermon in the series The Divided Kingdom; and exposition on First Book of the Kings.

In this evening message from Acts 9:22-31, Pastor Rockhill traces the astonishing transformation of Saul of Tarsus, the church's fiercest enemy, into its boldest witness. Drawing on Galatians 1 to fill in the years of study in Arabia and Damascus, he shows how the man who once breathed threats against the disciples now confounds the Jews by proving from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ. The persecutor has become the persecuted, hunted by the very council that once armed him. Pastor Rockhill highlights the sovereignty and providence of God at every turn. The Lord's own word to Ananias, that Saul was a chosen vessel appointed to suffer for Christ's name, governs the whole account, and it is God who exposes the murderous plots so that Saul escapes over the Damascus wall and later flees Jerusalem for Tarsus. Salvation and calling rest entirely on the Lord's purpose, not on human confirmation. A tender pastoral note falls on Barnabas, the son of encouragement, who dares to embrace and vouch for Saul when the frightened apostles hold back. Pastor Rockhill urges every believer to be, and to seek, such a friend in critical moments of faith. The sermon closes with Luke's summary that the churches, granted peace, were edified and multiplied. The central burden is that the gospel advances under persecution and prosperity alike, prospering wherever God's people remain faithful. Pastor Rockhill calls the congregation to that same boldness, going out into the world to proclaim Christ for the glory of God alone.

Justifying faith has components including, agreement to the truth of the divine revelation, agreement with the authority of God's testimony, heartfelt agreement of the will and, trust in God's character, unreserved surrender of the will to his guidance, and dependence on His merits for salvation. This week we continue with a look at the faith and life of David. A man who demonstrated great faith in the Lord in many ways in his life. We see that even repentance and confession of sin are acts of faith. David is an example of that faith as he confesses his sin to the Lord in Psalms 51, and expressed his relief at forgiveness in Psalms 32.

This sermon examines Jesus' teaching in Matthew 5 on the sixth commandment, revealing that the true spirit of the law addresses the heart's anger and contempt, not merely the physical act of murder. The preacher argues that unresolved conflict compromises worship and demands urgent reconciliation with others before approaching God. By exposing the severity of sinful attitudes, the message drives listeners to recognize their need for Christ's atoning sacrifice rather than relying on self-righteousness. It emphasizes that true righteousness exceeds external observance through a transformed heart empowered by the gospel. Ultimately, believers are called to confess their anger, pursue patience through trials, and rest in the hope of sanctification found in Jesus.
