In Due Season This message centers on Galatians 6:6–10 and the truth that what we sow, nurture, and faithfully continue in will eventually produce a harvest. Using Caleb and Joshua as living examples, the message shows that faithfulness requires endurance. Caleb held to God's promise for decades and, at eighty-five years old, was still ready to possess what God had promised. His life illustrates Galatians 6:9: "Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart." A major emphasis is that weariness can become weakness if we stop believing and obeying what God has said. Israel's failure in the wilderness was not because they lacked information, but because they allowed their own reasoning, fears, and circumstances to carry more weight than God's Word. Caleb had "a different spirit" because he wholly followed the Lord. The message warns that rejecting God does not always look openly rebellious; sometimes it simply looks like deciding that our opinion, priorities, or logic are more important than what He has revealed. Galatians 6 also teaches that we reap according to what we sow. Continually sowing to the flesh—self-centered thinking, fear, worldly reasoning, bitterness, or unbelief—eventually corrupts how we see God, people, and circumstances. But sowing to the Spirit through the Word produces an everlasting way of seeing life. We learn to trust the One who controls what we cannot control and to view temporary troubles through eternal truth. The message also stresses shared responsibility within the body of Christ. Just as Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh could not simply receive their inheritance and abandon their

What is regeneration? Scripture teaches that salvation involves more than forgiveness of sins. Because sinners are spiritually dead, God must give them spiritual life. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains the biblical doctrine of regeneration: the sovereign work of God by which He makes spiritually dead sinners alive, gives them a new heart, and enables them to repent, believe, and follow Christ. In this episode, you will learn: • Why humanity's deepest problem is spiritual death • What it means to be born again • Why regeneration is God's work of grace, not self-improvement • How new desires and growing obedience flow from new life in Christ Key Scriptures: John 3:3–8; Titus 3:4–7; Ephesians 2:1–10.

This sermon examines the narrative of Achan's sin in Joshua 7 to illustrate the theological principle that the collective holiness of God's people is essential for divine presence and victory. It argues that individual disobedience defiles the entire community, causing God to withdraw His favor and resulting in defeat, as seen in Israel's loss at Ai. The message emphasizes the responsibility of the local church to maintain covenant faithfulness and address sin decisively, rather than allowing it to fester. Through Joshua's humble prayer and the subsequent judgment, the text highlights the necessity of genuine repentance and action to restore God's glory. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a life of obedience and humility, recognizing that the church's witness is inextricably linked to the honor of God's name.

God created work as a good gift, but sin can turn work into an idol. Some men avoid responsibility, while others make their careers, success, and productivity the measure of their worth. In this episode, Dave Jenkins calls men to commit their work to the Lord, labor with diligence and integrity, guard against workaholism, and refuse to let ambition replace devotion to Christ. Because believers belong to Christ, they can work faithfully without making achievement their identity.
