This sermon expounds on Psalm 96, urging believers to ascribe glory and strength to Yahweh through daily worship and proclamation. The preacher emphasizes that God's greatness surpasses all false idols, establishing Him as the sole Creator and Sovereign King who reigns over all creation. Believers are called to sing a new song of salvation day by day, recognizing that their lives should serve as a continual testament to His faithfulness and power. The message contrasts the emptiness of worldly gods with the majestic holiness of the true God, who demands both adoration and submission from all peoples. Ultimately, the text highlights the certainty of Christ's future judgment and calls Christians to live in conscious reverence and joyful witness.

This sermon examines Acts 25 to demonstrate how God sovereignly preserves His servants and advances the gospel through ordinary political processes and unjust circumstances. The preacher contrasts the empty religious zeal of Paul's accusers with the wise, lawful actions of Paul, who appeals to Caesar while maintaining a clear conscience. The message encourages believers to trust in God's intimate involvement in daily life rather than seeking only miraculous interventions. It warns against compromising integrity for political favor or human approval, urging instead a steadfast reliance on divine providence. Ultimately, the text affirms that God orchestrates all events, even those driven by corrupt motives, to fulfill His redemptive purposes.

Why do we keep going when serving God gets hard, people disappoint us, and problems seem to pile up? From 2 Corinthians 4, this message gives us four powerful reasons not to quit: be honest in your walk, remember the need for the Gospel, trust God's promises in your problems, and keep your eyes on the eternal reward ahead.

Gathering The Scattered The messag analyzes John 11:48-52, highlighting how the high priest Caiaphas inadvertently prophesied Jesus' sacrificial death while plotting to preserve his own political power. Although Caiaphas intended for Jesus to be a scapegoat to appease Rome, God sovereignly used this evil intent to reveal that Jesus would die not only for the Jewish nation but also to gather all scattered children of God into one. The preacher emphasizes that salvation is entirely dependent on God's initiative and grace, as believers are born of God rather than human lineage or effort. This divine gathering continues throughout history through messengers sent by God to call people to faith. The passage demonstrates God's ability to redeem human schemes for His ultimate glory and the spiritual benefit of the church. But John tells us that Caiaphas said more than Caiaphas understood. John writes: "Now this he did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation." God put a prophetic truth into the mouth of a man who did not even understand the truth he was speaking. Caiaphas had one intention. God had another. Caiaphas intended evil. God was unfolding redemption. Like Joseph's brothers— What he meant for evil, God meant for good. And then comes one of those revelations we ought to underline, circle, remember, rejoice over, and maybe shout about a little bit. "NOT FOR THAT NATION ONLY" John 11:52 says: "And not for that nation only, but also that He would gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad." There we are. That reaches beyond Israel. That reaches beyond Jerusalem.

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.
