Luke 16:19-31 19 "There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. 20 And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, 21 who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side.6 The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. 24 And he called out, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.' 25 But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is ucomforted here, and you are in anguish. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.' 27 And he said, 'Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house— 28 for I have five brothers—so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.' 29 But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.' 30 And he said, 'No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.' 31 He said to him, v'If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.'"

Romans 4:1-8

What will happen when Jesus Christ returns in glory? In Matthew 24:29–31, Jesus describes one of the most dramatic events in all of human history—the visible and glorious coming of the Son of Man. As Jesus continues His teaching on the Mount of Olives, He reveals extraordinary signs in the heavens, the appearing of the Son of Man with power and great glory, and the gathering of His elect from the four winds. In this sermon, Pastor Todd Fletcher examines Christ's prophetic words in their biblical context, considering what these events reveal about God's sovereign purposes, the certainty of Christ's return, and the hope that belongs to those who trust in Him. The return of Jesus Christ is not merely a subject for theological speculation. It is a glorious promise that should shape how believers live, worship, and eagerly await their Savior.

The sermon centers on the public profession of faith through baptism, highlighting the distinct yet unified testimonies of three individuals who have come to know Jesus Christ. Each testimony illustrates the personal work of the Holy Spirit in convicting sin, granting assurance of salvation, and fostering a deep reliance on Christ's finished work rather than human effort. The narrative emphasizes that baptism is an act of obedience and a visible picture of dying to self and rising to new life in Christ, grounded in the believer's trust in the Gospel. The tone is pastoral and encouraging, reminding the congregation that while individual experiences vary, the source of salvation remains the same. The service concludes with a challenge to believers to examine the genuineness of their current walk with God, using the occasion of baptism as a reminder of divine grace and the secure keeping power of the Holy Spirit.

This sermon explores the command in 1 Peter 5:5 for all believers to be clothed with humility, defining it not as a personality trait but as a deliberate grace worked by the Holy Spirit. The central message contrasts the divine opposition to pride with God's generous provision of grace to the humble, using the example of Christ washing the disciples' feet to illustrate true greatness found in service. The exposition identifies three realities that dismantle pride: recognizing oneself as a creature, a sinner, and a recipient of grace, thereby shifting the focus from self-importance to the glory of God. The tone is pastoral and convicting, urging listeners to examine their motives in service and relationships, and to view lowly positions as fertile ground for spiritual growth. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a daily, practical application of humility through self-forgetful obedience and a growing sight of Jesus Christ.

Daniel saw in the vision but wasn't able to understand what he was seeing or had seen. The Angel (Gabriel,{man}), was given to explain to Daniel what he had seen. Today God gives us Man (Gifts given to the Church), to instruct us in righteousness, which is the word of God. We must get a spiritual insight only available after being born again.
