Psalm 34 is David's acrostic praise for the Lord's deliverance from fear, trouble, inviting the afflicted to taste and see that the Lord is good, for He is near to the brokenhearted, hears the cries of the righteous, and redeems all who take refuge in Him.

How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

On October 7, 2023, 1,200 people were killed, 251 were taken hostage, and within a day a multi-billion-dollar worldwide propaganda campaign was already accusing the victims of genocide. Where does that kind of hatred come from? Dr. Phil Stringer says it is more than human. In this message on the third anniversary of October 7th, Dr. Stringer at Quentin Road Baptist Church traces the hatred of the Jewish people back to its source. He starts in Genesis, with the rebel Lucifer who hates mankind because man bears the image of the Creator, and shows why Satan especially hates Israel, the nation designed to remind the world of the true God and His laws. From there he walks through the Bible and history: Pharaoh, Haman, the sobering words of Martin Luther, and Hitler's "Final Solution," each an attempt to make Israel a vanishing kingdom. But every one of them failed, and the Bible tells us why. God keeps His promises, and the Messiah came through the Jews to bring salvation to all who believe. Scripture referenced: Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 3:1-5; Exodus 1:8-11; Esther 3:8-11; Luke 1:54-55; John 4:22; Romans 1:16

This sermon explores the first petition of the Lord's Prayer, "Hallowed be your name," arguing that it serves as the foundational lens through which all other requests must be viewed. Drawing on Martin Luther's teachings and Thomas Watson's exposition, the message defines God's name as His essential being and character, emphasizing that to hallow His name is to set it apart from common use to sacred ends. Pastor Jason outlines three practical ways believers hallow God's name: through praise in worship, proclamation of His excellencies, and holy practice in daily life. By contrasting the perfect worship of heaven with the imperfect worship of earth, the sermon calls for a reverent approach to prayer that prioritizes God's glory over personal needs. Ultimately, the message offers comfort in the assurance that God is actively working to vindicate His holy name through the work of Jesus Christ, encouraging believers to align their hearts with this divine purpose.

Psalm 32 declares the blessedness of the one whose transgression is forgiven and whose sin is covered, as David contrasts the crushing misery of concealed guilt with the relief, instruction, and steadfast love that come when sin is confessed and the LORD is trusted.

This sermon examines the identity of the 'man of sin' and the 'great apostasy' described in 2 Thessalonians 2, arguing that these prophetic figures refer specifically to the papal antichrist and the historical fall of the Church of Rome. The speaker supports this interpretation by citing the testimonies of Reformation leaders such as Martin Luther, John Calvin, and John Knox, as well as the Westminster Confession of Faith, to establish the theological consensus that the papacy usurps Christ's headship. The analysis distinguishes this religious apostasy from political or secular decline, linking it to specific doctrinal errors like the prohibition of marriage and dietary restrictions found in 1 Timothy 4. The message serves as a pastoral warning against deception, urging believers to remain grounded in Scripture and to guard their hearts against the gradual compromise that leads to spiritual fall.

This sermon explores the doctrine of Sola Scriptura, asserting that the Bible is the final and infallible authority for Christian faith and practice. The teaching emphasizes the divine inspiration of Scripture, explaining that because the text is God-breathed, it is free from error and possesses supreme authority over human tradition, cultural opinion, and church hierarchy. Historical examples from the Reformation, including the lives of Martin Luther and William Tyndale, illustrate the necessity of submitting to the Word rather than ecclesiastical control. The message concludes by affirming the sufficiency of Scripture for all aspects of the Christian life, from worship and evangelism to personal sanctification, urging believers to rely exclusively on the Bible as the living and active standard for truth.
