Title: The Supremacy of God's Word Speaker: Creston Thomas Series: 2026 Reformation Reflections Date: October 30, 2026 Bible: 2 Timothy 3:14-17 This sermon explores the theological principle of Sola Scriptura by examining 2 Timothy 3:14-17, emphasizing that God's Word is supreme over human tradition and cultural ideology. The speaker contrasts the Reformation's rejection of practices like indulgences with modern tendencies to elevate personal feelings or church traditions above biblical authority. By highlighting the inspiration and sufficiency of Scripture, the message argues that the Bible alone provides the necessary doctrine, correction, and instruction for a complete Christian life. The tone is instructional and encouraging, urging believers to resist the influence of the world and social media by allowing Scripture to govern their minds, families, and decision-making. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a daily commitment to prioritize God's Word as the sole source of truth and spiritual equipment for every good work.

Speaker: Pastor Tim Goad Series: Studies in Acts Date: October 28, 2026 Bible: Acts 14:19-28

Pastor Mark Hogan teaches on Paul's epistles as a model of spiritually mature prayer, showing that mature Christians are marked by constant thanksgiving for fellow believers and consistent, outwardly focused intercession for the churches. He highlights Paul's repeated expressions of gratitude and prayer for the saints in Romans, Ephesians, Philippians, Thessalonians, Timothy, and Philemon, then centers on Ephesians 1:15–23 as an example of asking for spiritual growth—wisdom, revelation, knowledge of God, hope, riches of inheritance, and God's power—rather than merely material needs. He applies this by urging believers to personally thank God for one another at Grace, to pray regularly for the spiritual well-being of fellow Christians in their church and associations, and to let their prayers be corporately shaped and spiritually focused. He also emphasizes that sharing how we pray for others strengthens relational solidarity and unity in Christ.

This sermon expounds the qualification of being "able to teach" (1 Timothy 3:2) as the final point in a series on the elder's qualifications. The ability to teach is examined not merely as a skill but as a gift tied to the elder's calling to guard and communicate sound doctrine within the church, the pillar and ground of the truth. Main points: - the nature of the gift of teaching as distinct from mere communication ability - the content the elder must teach — sound doctrine grounded in Scripture - the necessity of this qualification for the health and order of the local church Scripture references: - 1 Timothy 3:1-15 - 1 Timothy 4:13-16 - 2 Timothy 2:2; 2:24-25 - Titus 1:9 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-1-timothy-3-the-qualifications-for-elders-part-4 Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

This sermon introduces a series on the attributes of God, beginning with the doctrine of aseity, which defines God as self-existent and self-sufficient. By examining Paul's address in Athens, the message contrasts the true God with human idols, emphasizing that God requires nothing from creation, including temples, offerings, or human approval. The exposition extends to the person of Jesus Christ, who possesses this divine independence yet voluntarily took on human needs to redeem those who are dependent. This truth serves to humble human pride, liberate believers from the anxiety of trying to satisfy God, and provide a secure foundation for trust. Ultimately, the sermon calls for repentance and worship based on the reality that God is complete in Himself, inviting believers to rest in His sufficiency rather than their own efforts.

Pastor Jeremiah Gabbard - Romans 3:21-31

This Reformation Sunday morning, Dr. Jon Jacobs takes a break from his regular series and instead teaches on the necessity of reforming the church, the reformation, and the doctrines that make up Calvinism. Dr. Jacobs describes the era that preceded the Reformation, a time of spiritual and doctrinal darkness. R.C. Sproul writes this, "John Calvin is a gulliver in the land of the Lilliputians, a titan in the midst of dwarfs. He stands heads and shoulders above the rank and file theologian, scholar, biblical expert, all the way down through the ages. He abides in the elite company of men like St. Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther, and Jonathan Edwards."

Romans 1:21–23 exposes humanity's refusal to honor God, give thanks, and worship Him as Creator. Dave Jenkins examines how sin darkens our understanding, turns claims of wisdom into foolishness, and leads us to exchange God's glory for created things. This study calls us to repent of idolatry and look to Jesus Christ, who perfectly honored the Father, died for sinners, and rose again to bring us back to God.
