The sermon analyzes Psalm 10 to expose three core lies told by the godless man: that he is permanent, that God is blind, and that there will be no reckoning. By contrasting the wicked man's internal monologue with the psalmist's direct prayers, the text demonstrates that prosperity without God is an illusion and that hidden sins are fully known to Him. The preacher argues that practical atheism stems from a failure to account for divine judgment, urging listeners to examine their own hearts against this mirror of human depravity. Ultimately, the message finds hope in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who bore the weight of all wickedness on the cross, ensuring justice for the oppressed and salvation for believers.

Trees are associated in Scripture with the gift of life, God's provision for His people, and their worship of Him and dwelling with Him. Man misuses God's good gift for idolatrous purposes, but in the end, Christ, the Author of Life, died on a tree to give His people everlasting life, so that we might live with Him forever in Paradise.

In this final lesson of the **"Members of One Another"** Sunday School series, Matt Sikes examines the biblical meaning of **true forgiveness** and how Christians are called to forgive as they have been forgiven by God in Christ. Using Matthew 18 and the parable of the unforgiving servant as the foundation, Matt explains why forgiveness is central to the gospel and how it must be understood alongside repentance, reconciliation, church discipline, and Christian love. He addresses common misunderstandings about forgiveness and emphasizes that biblical forgiveness is more than a feeling—it is a commitment to put away a repentant person's sin and no longer hold it against them. The lesson also explores how believers should respond when someone refuses to repent: not with bitterness, hatred, or revenge, but with love, prayer, kindness, and a genuine desire for reconciliation. Ultimately, Christians are called to be a forgiving people because they themselves have received immeasurable grace and forgiveness through Jesus Christ.

A Harvard astrophysicist once suggested that the best explanation for our moon is observational error — that the moon simply does not exist. Sometimes the theory is in more trouble than the evidence. In the Sunday school hour at Quentin Road Baptist Church, Dr. Jake Hebert of the Institute for Creation Research takes the class on a tour of the solar system and deep space, and makes a claim that sounds backwards until you hear it out: recent creation is the more reasonable position. Age, he argues, is never measured in a laboratory — it is calculated from assumptions about the past, and those assumptions rule out creation before the evidence is ever examined. Then the tour: comets that should have melted away long ago, propped up by an Oort cloud that Carl Sagan admitted has no direct evidence behind it. Magnetic fields still humming on small bodies that should have gone cold eons ago. Saturn's rings, Titan's methane, volcanic Io, a crater-free plain on Pluto. Earth's own magnetic field losing half its energy every 1,400 years. A creation physicist who read 2 Peter 3:5 and predicted the magnetism of Mercury, Uranus, and Neptune while mainstream models missed at nearly every planet. And the hard one everybody asks about — how we can see starlight from billions of light years away in a universe only thousands of years old. The companion to the morning message "Our Young World," and an entirely different subject: this hour is the sky. Scripture referenced: Psalm 19:1; Genesis 1:5, 8; 2 Peter 3:5; Mark 10:6
