Romans 3:24 "Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:" King James Version

The Sunday School lesson explores the doctrine of God's eternal decree as outlined in Chapter 3 of the Westminster Confession of Faith, emphasizing that God sovereignly ordains all that comes to pass according to His wise and holy will. It distinguishes between God's active role in salvation and His passive role in reprobation, clarifying that He is not the author of sin but works through secondary causes to bring about good from evil. The teaching highlights the comfort found in God's unchangeable nature and foreknowledge, contrasting this with the human desire for control and the theological error of middle knowledge. By examining key passages such as Romans 9 and 1 Peter 2, the message asserts that election is solely of grace, while reprobation is a just passing by of those who deserve judgment. The lesson concludes with a pastoral caution to handle these profound truths with humility and care, recognizing the mystery involved in God's unsearchable judgments.

This sermon explores the theological promise that all Israel will be saved, centering on the identity of the Deliverer who will come out of Zion. The speaker connects Romans 11 with numerous Psalms and prophetic books to illustrate that Jesus Christ is the ultimate Deliverer who will return to Jerusalem, specifically standing on the Mount of Olives, to establish His kingdom. The message contrasts the current age of grace, where God does not impute sin, with the future period of judgment and the Great Tribulation, emphasizing that the church is secure in heavenly places while Israel awaits national restoration. A significant portion of the discourse is dedicated to warning against false prophets and self-appointed end-times predictors who have historically failed to correctly identify the timing of Christ's return. The sermon concludes by urging believers to rely solely on the Word of God and the finished work of Christ at Calvary, rather than engaging in speculative date-setting or trusting in human interpretations of signs.

The devotional centers on the transformative power of aligning one's thoughts with God's eternal purposes, drawing from Jeremiah 29:11–14 to affirm that God has plans for peace, hope, and a fulfilled future for His people. It warns against the dangers of prideful thinking, particularly self-comparison and self-deception, as highlighted in Romans 12:3 and 2 Corinthians 10:12, emphasizing that such thinking leads to spiritual distortion. The message calls for a threefold response: accepting one's current circumstances as part of God's sovereign plan, repenting of complaining, and submitting fully to God's will through the renewal of the mind. By rejecting worldly values and embracing divine truth, believers are invited to live as living sacrifices, transformed by God's mercy and freed from the destructive patterns of comparison and pride.

In 2019, the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church altered the English translation of the Lord's Prayer from 'and lead us not into temptation' to 'and do not let us fall into temptation'. Yet his alteration is linguistically indefensible. In doing this, the Pope has evidently not regarded what the Word of God actually says, but instead only to his own notions of God. However, given his stumbling, it may be profitable to inquire concerning their true meaning.

The reading outlines five definitive facts regarding salvation found in Romans 8:29-30, emphasizing that God's foreknowledge, predestination, calling, justification, and glorification of believers were established before the foundation of the world. It argues that these acts are entirely dependent on God's sovereign will rather than human effort or circumstance, ensuring the absolute certainty of the believer's eternal security. The message encourages Christians to verify their calling through spiritual evidence such as a hunger for God's Word and the fruit of the Spirit, rather than relying on feelings or external events. By highlighting the past tense of these actions in Scripture, the text presents salvation as a completed work of grace that spans from eternity past to eternity future. The tone is instructional and comforting, urging believers to rejoice in the assurance that their names are written in heaven and that God's purpose for their redemption is unshakeable.

Three Kinds of People Luke 10:25–37 | Choctaw County Revival 2026 This message examines the parable of the Good Samaritan to reveal three kinds of people we encounter in everyday life: those who beat people up, those who pass people up, and those who help people up. The thieves represent those who take from and wound others, not only through physical actions but also through gossip, criticism, bitterness, and destructive words. The priest and Levite represent those who are too occupied with their own priorities to stop and help people in need. The Samaritan demonstrates the compassion of God through a willingness to give his time, attention, resources, and personal involvement to help someone who is hurting. The message emphasizes that we cannot accidentally obey Jesus or live by faith. Faith requires intentionally hearing, believing, and acting upon what God reveals through His Word. Drawing from Romans 12:1–2, believers are challenged to present themselves daily as living sacrifices, allowing God's light to reveal what is wrong, His grace to remove what is offensive to Him, and His goodness to replace it with His truth and character. This daily transformation prepares us to become everyday missionaries who are ready to share the gospel wherever God places us. Through personal testimony, the illustrations of nails, ducks, pacifiers, and smooth stones, and the encounter with a young boy battling leukemia, the message demonstrates how God uses ordinary opportunities and personal difficulties to develop compassion and open doors for ministry. Rather than continually asking God to remove our problems, we should ask Him to prepare and transform us for the circumstances we
