This sermon explores the third petition of the Lord's Prayer, urging believers to prioritize God's will above their own desires. The preacher distinguishes between God's secret providential will and His revealed moral will, emphasizing that true prayer involves submitting to both in all circumstances. Key themes include the necessity of obedience to Scripture, the comfort found in trusting God's sovereignty during trials, and the call to live a life of consistent holiness. The message challenges listeners to abandon self-centeredness and align their hearts with Christ's perfect example of submission. Finally, it calls for a wholehearted desire that God's rule be established on earth just as perfectly as it is in heaven.

This message from Ephesians 6:10–20 reminds us that the Christian life is a spiritual battle, but God has not left His people defenseless. We are called to stand firm, not in our own strength, but in the strength of the Lord, clothed with the armor He Himself provides and resting in the victory Christ has already won. A very practical and encouraging message on how believers can face temptation, discouragement, and spiritual attack with truth, faith, prayer, and confidence in Christ.

Iglesia Bíblica Bautista Antioquia

A devotional delivered to the congregation of Emmanuel Reformed Baptist Church (SeaTac, WA) at the Wednesday night prayer meeting.

This sermon explores the theological order of salvation, emphasizing that God's sovereign grace and predestination established the plan for redemption before the foundation of the world. It examines Paul's ministry in Romans 1, highlighting his constant prayer life and deep desire to visit the Roman church as evidence of mutual edification through Christian fellowship. The text underscores the absolute security of believers, anchored in Christ's finished work and God's unchanging purpose rather than human effort. By analyzing passages like Ephesians and Hebrews, the message affirms that salvation is entirely God's initiative, ensuring peace and confidence for the elect. Ultimately, the sermon calls listeners to rest in divine providence, recognizing that all events, including Paul's imprisonment, serve to advance the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Why does life still feel confusing and unsatisfying even when we try to live wisely? In this introduction to Ecclesiastes, Dave Jenkins begins a journey through one of the Bible's most honest and searching books. Ecclesiastes confronts the temporary nature of life, the limits of success and pleasure, and humanity's search for lasting meaning. The Preacher describes life "under the sun" as vanity, a vapor that cannot be grasped or held. Wealth, achievement, pleasure, work, and human wisdom cannot ultimately satisfy the heart. Ecclesiastes forces us to face the reality of life in a fallen world and directs us toward the only One who can give lasting meaning.

The devotional centers on the story of Cornelius, a devout Roman centurion whose prayers and charitable deeds marked him as a seeker of God, though he had not yet embraced salvation through Christ. Highlighting God's awareness of sincere spiritual longing, the message emphasizes that divine encounters often come through human instruments—like Peter—rather than direct angelic intervention, underscoring the vital role of believers in sharing the gospel. The preacher calls the audience to examine their own willingness to be used by God, reminding them that seekers may appear in unexpected forms and that every believer is called to respond to God's invitation with, 'Here am I, send me.' With a pastoral and urgent tone, the sermon challenges listeners to cultivate a heart open to the Holy Spirit's prompting, so they may become instruments in bringing others into a genuine relationship with Christ.
