(1) Israel Watch 9/27/26: An epidemic of rape and abuse of women in Gaza BY Hamas (while antisemites lie and blame Israel). We play a 2+ minute clip of Netanyahu's UN rebuke of nations who walked out on him. We play a video clip of Donald Trump rejecting Iran's counter-deal offer and review the Gog Magog Watch as Iran-Persia and allies invade Israel, "To take a spoil, and to take a prey". (2) Pres. Trump Did NOT Usher In The Image of the Beast: We refute the OBVIOUS Bible abuse and lies about the "Change A.I. to S.I." speech at the U.N. (3) But the Unholy See of the Beast IS Here: It is the Antichrist Papacy. We watch hundreds of thousands of adoring worshippers of "the man of sin" and review quotes from the last four centuries demonstrating that our position that the final Pope will be the son of perdition (First Beast/Antichrist) was the standard position of Bible believers until recent decades. (4) On A Lighter Note: Finish The Meme. A raccoon comments on "smart cars, phones, etc." A warning from Pfizer about the need for a fourth booster. And a "positive affirmation" quote from none other than Darth Vader! https://bbfohio.com

This sermon explores the apostle Paul's declaration in Romans 1:16-17 that he is not ashamed of the gospel, identifying this statement as the central theme of the entire epistle. The message emphasizes that the gospel is the power of God for salvation to all who believe, distinguishing it from human wisdom or political solutions by highlighting its divine origin and universal scope. It further examines the concept of God's righteousness, which is revealed through faith alone, a truth that transformed Martin Luther and remains the foundation of the Reformation. The preacher encourages believers to overcome the cultural temptation to view the cross as foolishness, reminding them that their weak faith is anchored in a strong Christ who has conquered death. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a bold, unashamed proclamation of this glorious truth in a world that desperately needs the saving power of Jesus Christ.

This sermon explores the biblical mandate for Christians to submit to governing authorities, grounded in the text of 1 Peter 2:13-17. It argues that submission is required because government is an institution ordained by God, and it serves as a powerful witness to the world through honourable conduct and good works. The message distinguishes between general obedience and the necessary civil disobedience when the state commands sin, emphasizing that Christian freedom is best expressed as voluntary service to God rather than a license for vice. By honoring all people, loving the church, and fearing God, believers demonstrate a peace and hope that transcends political allegiance, ultimately pointing others to the sovereignty of Christ.

The LORD now levels his indictment against the political, judicial, and spiritual leaders of his people, Israel. They've committed gross injustice and preached a false gospel in order to line their own pockets and maintain influence and control. But the day is coming when they will cry out to God, and God will not hear them. And even greater day is coming when a good and faithful Shepherd, a true Prophet and a just Judge, will make all things right.

This sermon establishes the biblical mandate for the church to engage in prayer, fasting, and humility for the nation and its leaders, grounded in the command found in 1 Timothy. It argues that Christians hold a unique position as intercessors for a society that is increasingly distant from God, citing historical and contemporary examples of spiritual decline. The message emphasizes that effective intercession requires first examining one's own heart, confessing personal and corporate sin, and rejecting a Pharisaical attitude of self-righteousness. Rather than viewing fasting as a means to compel God's hand, the preacher presents it as a response to God's merciful character and a reminder of human dependence on divine grace. The ultimate hope rests not in political reform or human effort, but in the transformative work of the Holy Spirit to change hearts and bring about true revival.

The sermon draws a theological parallel between the United States and the unnamed man casting out devils in Mark 9, arguing that America is currently acting in alignment with God's will despite opposition from other nations. Bro. Qualls presents ten similarities, asserting that America is anonymous in prophecy, alarmed by global suffering, available to act in Christ's name, and able to execute decisive actions that others cannot. This message serves as a defense of current American foreign policy, particularly regarding Iran and Israel, framing these efforts as spiritual victories rather than mere political maneuvers. The tone is confident and pastoral, encouraging believers to view national events through a biblical lens and to trust that God is rewarding America's unique role in securing freedom and spreading the Gospel.
