Responsibility on SermonAudio

In Part 7 of "Calling Out Carnality," Keith Voyles continues in James 3, showing that the tongue reveals the condition of the heart. He warns against using the same mouth to bless God and curse, criticize, or tear down people made in God's image. Since words flow from the heart, a corrupt mouth exposes an unguarded heart. The message calls believers to reject this contradiction and place their speech under the control of the Holy Ghost. Primary text: James 3:9–12.

In this message, Pastor J. Dale Massengale preaches on the Great White Throne Judgment described in Revelation 20:11–15. The sermon presents the final judgment of the unsaved dead, when every person whose name is not found written in the book of life will stand before God and be judged according to his works. Earthly position, wealth, influence, excuses, and religious profession will carry no weight before the righteous Judge. The message emphasizes the certainty, seriousness, and finality of this judgment. The dead, small and great, will stand before God; the books will be opened; every work will be brought into judgment; and death and hell will be cast into the lake of fire. This is identified as the second death. The sermon warns listeners not to depend upon good works, church membership, baptism, or personal morality for salvation. The only escape from the Great White Throne Judgment is to receive the Lord Jesus Christ and have one's name written in the book of life. Primary text: Revelation 20:11–15. "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." — Revelation 20:15, KJV

In Part 6 of "The Day That the Lord Hath Made," Pastor J. Dale Massengale continues preaching from Psalm 118 concerning the Lord's appointed work through Jesus Christ. The message emphasizes that Christ, though rejected by the religious builders, was chosen and exalted by God as the head stone of the corner. Man's rejection did not prevent God's purpose from being fulfilled. The salvation accomplished through Christ is entirely the Lord's doing and is marvelous to those who believe. The sermon calls the listener to recognize Jesus Christ as the only sure foundation, rejoice in the work God accomplished through Him, and personally receive the Saviour rather than stumble over Him in unbelief. Primary text: Psalm 118:22–24. Supporting passages: Isaiah 28:16; Matthew 21:42–44; Acts 4:10–12; Romans 9:32–33; 1 Peter 2:4–8.

In Part 8 of "Calling Out Carnality," Keith Voyles preaches from James 4 about troubled fellowship caused by unchecked lust, envy, pride, and selfish ambition. He explains that outward wars begin with an inward war in the heart, and that carnal desires can divide homes and churches. The message calls believers to humble themselves, submit to God, resist pride, and depend upon the greater grace God gives to overcome the flesh. Primary text: James 4:1–10.

In Part 9 of "Calling Out Carnality," Keith Voyles preaches from James 5 about fraudulent treasures. He warns against allowing money, possessions, and personal gain to define a person's life. Wealth itself is not sinful, but covetousness, fraud, selfish ambition, and living only to gain reveal carnality. The message calls believers to seek riches in Christ, live contentedly, treat workers honestly, and submit every plan and possession to the will of God. Primary text: James 5:1–6.

In Part 5 of "Calling Out Carnality," Keith Voyles preaches from James 2:14–26 about the difference between professed faith and genuine saving faith. He explains that carnal people resist accountability for whether their faith is real. A person may know correct doctrine, speak religiously, and become emotional, yet still show no obedience, spiritual growth, or changed life. Works do not earn salvation, but they do reveal it. Genuine faith produces fruit, obedience, and transformation. Faith without works is empty and dead. Using the illustration of trusting a chair, Keith shows that belief is proven by action. Saying the chair will hold you means little until you sit down. In the same way, true faith in Christ is demonstrated through obedience. The message calls every listener to examine whether his faith is merely professed or truly possessed. Primary text: James 2:14–26. "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone." — James 2:17, KJV

In Part 4 of "The Day That the Lord Hath Made," Pastor J. Dale Massengale continues examining the prophetic message of Psalm 118 and God's appointed work through the Lord Jesus Christ. The message focuses on Christ as the stone rejected by the builders but chosen and exalted by God as the head stone of the corner. What men rejected, the Lord established as the only sure foundation for salvation. The day described in Psalm 118 is therefore connected with the Lord's marvelous work in the death, resurrection, and exaltation of Christ. The sermon calls the listener to recognize what God has done, receive Christ rather than reject Him, and rejoice in the salvation that is entirely "the LORD'S doing." It emphasizes that God's purpose cannot be defeated by man's unbelief and that every person's relationship to the cornerstone determines his spiritual standing before God. Primary text: Psalm 118:22–24. Supporting passages: Matthew 21:42–44; Acts 4:10–12; 1 Peter 2:4–8.

In Part 10 of "Calling Out Carnality," Keith Voyles concludes the series from James 5. He warns that affliction can expose carnality through impatience, bitterness, careless words, and a damaged testimony. Believers are called to endure patiently, follow the examples of the prophets and Job, guard their integrity, and depend upon prayer. The message closes by showing that unchecked carnality forfeits spiritual power, especially power in prayer. Primary text: James 5:7–20.

In Part 5 of "The Day That the Lord Hath Made," Pastor J. Dale Massengale continues preaching from Psalm 118 concerning God's appointed work through the Lord Jesus Christ. The message examines the prophetic declaration that the stone rejected by the builders became the head stone of the corner. Although Christ was rejected by men, He was chosen, established, and exalted by God as the only foundation of salvation. The sermon emphasizes that this work is entirely "the LORD'S doing" and is marvelous in the eyes of those who believe. Because God fulfilled His purpose through Christ, His people have reason to rejoice, worship, and place their complete confidence in Him. The message also confronts each listener with his relationship to Jesus Christ. The same cornerstone upon which believers securely rest becomes a stone of stumbling to those who refuse Him. Primary text: Psalm 118:22–24. Supporting passages: Isaiah 28:16; Matthew 21:42–44; Acts 4:10–12; Romans 9:32–33; 1 Peter 2:4–8.

In Part 4 of "Calling Out Carnality," Keith Voyles preaches from James 2:1–13 about how favoritism and respect of persons reveal carnality in a believer's life. Keith explains that Christians may profess faith in the Lord Jesus Christ while behaving in ways that misrepresent His character. One clear example is treating people differently because of wealth, appearance, social position, influence, talent, or personal benefit. The message warns that favoritism always produces two results: someone is idolized while someone else is isolated. One person is welcomed, honored, and included, while another is ignored, pushed aside, or treated as inferior. Keith stresses that this conduct is not merely socially wrong; it damages the testimony of Christ. Christ does not show partiality. Although He is the Lord of glory, He humbled Himself, became a servant, and freely receives whosoever will come to Him. Therefore, believers cannot claim His faith while refusing to display His character toward others. Keith applies the passage directly to conduct within the church. The rich man in good clothing must not receive better treatment than the poor man in vile raiment. Both were souls for whom Christ died. Showing preference because of what someone can provide—money, influence, connections, status, or talent—is carnal and selfish. The sermon also warns against cliques and social divisions among God's people. Christians must not build exclusive circles that welcome those they prefer while shutting out others in the same body. Genuine Christian fellowship requires humility, mercy, equal treatment, and a willingness to serve people regardless of their position. Primary text: James 2:1–13
