The Apostle Paul stands before King Agrippa and Governor Festus, shifting his legal defense from personal innocence to the central truth of Christ's death and resurrection. While Festus dismisses the message as madness due to its incompatibility with pagan worldview, Paul asserts that the gospel is rational sober truth. He challenges Agrippa directly regarding belief in the prophets, highlighting the king's evasive response to the call for faith. The sermon emphasizes that the Christian message demands a personal response rather than mere intellectual curiosity or spectatorship. Ultimately, it calls believers to faithfully proclaim this life-giving truth and urgently invite others to believe.

Pride deceives into trusting ourselves, but God will bring everything down that exalts itself against Him.

DON'T OVERLOOK THE LITTLE THINGS. [When Small Things Become Precious] Zechariah 4:10 KJV The wreck of the Civil War blockade runner Georgiana presents an unusual picture. Among military cargo such as rifles, ammunition, and artillery projectiles were thousands of ordinary items—including buttons and pins. During a wartime blockade, however, ordinary necessities could become extraordinarily valuable.Church, sometimes we become so impressed with the rifles that we overlook the buttons. We notice the spectacular. God notices the seemingly insignificant.The candlestick tells me God wants His light to shine. The olive trees tell me God supplies the oil. Zerubbabel tells me God uses ordinary hands. The plummet tells me little tools can be part of a great work. The seven eyes tell me God sees what everybody else overlooks.Don't wait until something is gone to discover what it was worth.]

Why would the promised King, David's Son and David's Lord, end up nailed to a Roman cross? On the road to Emmaus, the risen Jesus asked two shattered disciples, "Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?", and then answered it from Moses and all the Prophets. In this session we stand where those disciples stood, beneath the two great windows onto the cross written centuries before it happened: Psalm 22, which shows the suffering from the inside, and Isaiah 53, which explains it from above. Come hear why the cross did not interrupt the road to the throne, the cross was the road, and why that changes everything for you.

Romans 11:3 "Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life." King James Version

The sermon contrasts the limited, earthly perspective of human opinion with the supreme authority of Jesus Christ, who comes from heaven and speaks with divine certainty. By examining John 3:31-36, the message highlights that while prophets relayed messages given to them, Jesus testifies to what He personally saw and heard in the presence of the Father. This distinction establishes Christ as the only infallible source of truth about God and eternity, rendering all other human traditions or opinions secondary. The preacher emphasizes that accepting this testimony is an act of sealing God as true, while rejecting it constitutes calling God a liar with eternal consequences. Ultimately, the text divides humanity into two groups: those who believe in the Son and possess eternal life now, and those who refuse to obey Him and remain under the abiding wrath of God.
