The Morning Devotional Season 11 | Edition 66 Psalm 99 Providence Presbyterian Church Evansville, IN Pastor's Website: https://theparchment.net/ This devotional explores Psalm 99, emphasizing the absolute holiness and sovereignty of God as the central theme. The speaker highlights that God's holy nature demands justice and requires His people to exalt Him through ordained worship rather than human invention. By referencing biblical mediators like Moses, Aaron, and Samuel, the text illustrates how God reveals Himself and speaks to His congregation. The message urges listeners to recognize their own sinfulness in contrast to God's purity and to turn to Christ for salvation. Ultimately, worship is presented as a necessary response to God's character, designed for the spiritual benefit of believers who approach Him on His terms.

The sermon explores the second major sermon in Deuteronomy, framing it as a renewal of the covenant God established with Israel at Mount Sinai. It highlights Deuteronomy 10:12 as an epitomizing text that calls believers to fear, walk in, love, serve, and obey God. The preacher contrasts the first generation's failure with the second generation's opportunity to embrace covenant loyalty rooted in God's redemptive love. Attention is given to the Ten Commandments as a restoration of creation morality and the Shema as the supreme command to love God with all one's being. The message urges believers to internalize Scripture, teach it diligently to future generations, and live out their faith through daily devotion and obedience.

Open air preaching on the Stockton-on-Tees High Street: This message emphasises the spiritual condition of humanity as dead in trespasses and sins by nature, necessitating a divine intervention for salvation. It highlights God's rich mercy and grace as the sole basis for being made alive in Christ Jesus, independent of human works or merit. The message stresses that faith alone receives the gift of righteousness provided through Jesus Christ's perfect life and atoning death. Believers are called to rest in this finished work, recognizing their union with Christ and their new status seated in heavenly places. The preacher concludes with an urgent appeal to trust in Jesus Christ for forgiveness and eternal life, warning against the futility of self-reliance.

Some defenders of the New Apostolic Reformation deny that it exists or argue that it cannot be identified because it is not a formal organization. However, books written and endorsed by the movement's own leaders openly describe the restoration of modern apostles and prophets, apostolic networks, apostolic centers, dominion theology, and the Seven Mountain Mandate. In this episode of From NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill examines published evidence from C. Peter Wagner and other influential NAR leaders. Their writings demonstrate that the New Apostolic Reformation is a recognizable movement with shared teachings concerning church government, spiritual authority, prophecy, cultural transformation, and modern apostles. Dawn concludes with a plea for Christians to test every teaching according to Scripture, return to the gospel of Jesus Christ, and trust the written Word of God as the final authority for faith and life.

From South Wake Mid-Week Prayer Meeting

The sermon examines the hermeneutical conflict between dispensational and covenantal approaches to Old Testament promises. It argues against the dispensational reliance on original authorial intent and literal ethnic interpretation, asserting that such methods fail because the original audience often misunderstood divine revelation. Instead, the sermon advocates for a focus on a hermeneutics grounded in the divine author's intent, which is found in the New Testament's teaching on the Old Testament. The speaker emphasizes that scripture interprets scripture, allowing the New Testament to define the true identity of the promisee as Christ and his people rather than ethnic Israel.
