Pastor Jeremiah Gabbard | John 1:29-34 The sermon challenges listeners to examine their perception of Jesus Christ by asking what they truly see when they look to Him. It outlines three essential truths derived from John chapter one: recognizing sin as God sees it, accepting Jesus as the Lamb who takes away sin, and acknowledging the personal need for salvation. The preacher emphasizes that while the wages of sin is death, eternal life is a free gift received through faith in Christ alone. Urging immediate response, the message calls those who have not yet trusted in Jesus to repent and believe, culminating in an invitation for new believers to be baptized as an act of obedience.

Having established that Israelites are not The Church and that only believing Jews qualify for the promises of Israel, we now discuss the "election" of Israel with the National promises that individual Jews will receive, and that these remain separate from promises to the Church of Jesus Christ. We discuss the Abrahamic Promises, Esau and Jacob and the context of Romans 9:13 compared with the original statement made in Malachi 1:3.

The sermon concludes a series on the Book of Psalms by examining Psalm 150 as the ultimate call to worship. It explores four dimensions of praise: the location, which extends from earthly sanctuaries to heaven and every aspect of daily life; the motivation, rooted in God's mighty acts and His immutable character; the method, involving joyful expression through music and dance; and the participants, encompassing all living beings. The preacher emphasizes that praising God is not merely a ritual but the primary purpose of human existence, surpassing worldly definitions of fulfillment. By reflecting on Christ's redemptive work and God's sovereignty, believers are urged to offer continuous, holistic adoration in spirit and truth.

Brother Matthew Rabb | John 17:1-4 The sermon emphasizes the critical importance of finishing the work God has assigned, using Jesus as the ultimate example in John 17. It contrasts the cultural tendency to start but not complete tasks with the biblical call to persevere and glorify the Father through faithful obedience. The preacher highlights that Jesus completed His redemptive work on the cross, offering believers a finished faith rather than one requiring endless human effort. By citing biblical figures like Moses, Solomon, and Nehemiah, the message encourages Christians to remain committed in their ministries, families, and personal lives. Ultimately, the transcript urges listeners to surrender fully to God's will, trusting that finishing strong brings glory to Him and joy to the believer.

The sermon explores the metaphor of humanity as a ten-stringed instrument, drawing parallels between Psalm 144 and Romans 6:13 to illustrate the call for believers to be yielded vessels for God's use. It details specific aspects of this spiritual instrument, such as feet representing obedience and direction, hands symbolizing consecration and service, and eyes indicating focus on purity rather than worldly corruption. The message emphasizes that while musical instruments can praise God, a surrendered human life is the most pleasing offering to Him. Through various scriptural references, the text urges listeners to examine their own spiritual condition and ensure they are walking in alignment with divine purpose. Ultimately, the preacher encourages the audience to remain focused on Jesus as the ultimate example of a life fully dedicated to God's will.

Some homes raise kids under a list of man-made rules — others let anything go. Both are a form of rebellion against God. The dads discuss how fathers can set biblical standards for movies, music, and modesty in the home without sliding into either ditch, and why the motive behind a standard matters as much as the standard itself.
