The sermon explores the transformative power of Jesus' presence in Mark chapter 2, contrasting the desperate crowd seeking Him with modern apathy toward church gatherings. It highlights Jesus' authoritative teaching and His primary mission to preach the gospel rather than merely perform miracles. The preacher uses the story of the paralytic lowered through the roof to illustrate the necessity of compassionate, persistent evangelism among believers. By personifying the friends as Compassion, Faith, Works, and Determination, the text emphasizes that saving faith often requires others to act on their behalf. Ultimately, the message calls the church to maintain a burden for the lost and to remain faithful in sharing the gospel despite obstacles.

What do we do when life looks nothing like we planned, and hope feels like a distant memory? That is exactly the question at the heart of this powerful exploration of one of the Old Testament's most emotionally raw passages, Psalm 137, where God's people sit in exile by the rivers of Babylon, instruments hanging silent in the trees, asking how they could possibly sing the Lord's song in a foreign land. The central spiritual lesson woven throughout this message is both simple and profound: God does not stop working just because we cannot see him working. Through the voices of Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel, we discover that even in the darkest seasons of life, God has not forgotten his people, has not abandoned his presence among them, and has not lost his grip on history. The book of Lamentations, written in the ruins of a fallen city, gives us the timeless declaration that the Lord's mercies are new every morning and that his faithfulness remains great even when our circumstances have crumbled. For us today, this is an invitation to stop measuring God's faithfulness by the ease of our circumstances and start trusting that the same God who spoke hope into Babylon is speaking into our lives right now.

Pastor Jeremiah Gabbard | 2Cor. 4:3-7 "What Satan seeks to blind men from, God uses to regenerate men with—the light of the glorious gospel of Christ." The sermon explores the transformative power of the gospel as a source of spiritual light for those in darkness. It outlines four key truths from 2 Corinthians 4, emphasizing that the message is hidden to the lost and that Satan actively blinds minds to prevent belief. The preacher argues that humanity's primary need is not information but spiritual reconciliation through faith in Jesus Christ. By contrasting spiritual blindness with the illuminating work of God, the text highlights the necessity of preaching Christ crucified. The message concludes with an urgent call for individuals to accept this free gift of salvation and for believers to share this light with others.

Even those close to Father can be as distant as the prodigal son in their hearts. Take heed that you are not lost even though you be in the house of God!

JUST KEEP FOLLOWING.[YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW THE COURSE WHEN YOU KNOW WHO YOU'RE FOLLOWING] Hebrews 12:1–2; John 10:27 KJV In 2014, during a grueling adventure race through Ecuador, Swedish racer Mikael Lindnord and his team encountered a hungry stray dog. After receiving a simple act of kindness, the dog—later named Arthur—began following the team.Through mud, mountains, jungle, exhaustion, and even across the water, Arthur kept following. He didn't have a map. He didn't understand the course. He couldn't see the finish line. He simply knew who he had chosen to follow.Arthur's remarkable true story provides a beautiful picture of the Christian life.Hebrews 12:1–2 tells us to "run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith."In this message, we discover three truths about following Christ: I. FOLLOW WHEN THE ROAD IS HARD Following Jesus does not mean the road will always be easy. Valleys, disappointments, suffering, and trials will come, but Christ has promised never to leave us.II. FOLLOW WHEN YOU CANNOT SEE THE FINISH Faith does not require us to know every turn in the road. We may not understand where God is leading, but we can trust the One who leads us.III. FOLLOW UNTIL YOU GET HOME Arthur began the journey as a stray but finished it with a family and a home. Likewise, Jesus came to seek and save those who were lost. Through Christ we become part of God's family, and one day every believer will finish this earthly race at home with Him.You may not know what tomorrow holds. You may not understand the road you're traveling. You may not see the finish line from where you stand today.Keep following.

The sermon explores God's sovereign power to raise up unexpected servants and His faithful provision for them during times of darkness. Using the example of Elijah, the preacher illustrates that God is never limited by human circumstances or resources, often choosing unlikely sources like ravens and a starving widow to sustain His people. The message encourages believers to trust in God's daily providence rather than worrying about the future, emphasizing that obedience leads to divine sustenance even when it seems impossible. It highlights that while trials may accompany blessings, God ultimately restores what is lost and rewards those who seek His kingdom first. The central theme is that salvation and provision are entirely of the Lord, requiring total dependence on His word and timing.

The Lost Conduct of the Church

This message is from the Sovereign Outreach 4 Grace / SO4G 2026 Midweek - Wednesday Sermon/Lesson Series from the Sermon Audio Broadcast Series. This message was delivered by Brother, Tom Harmon at the Calvary Baptist Church (SBC) in Betsy Layne, Kentucky. The title of this message was 'The One Lost Sheep', the main text was taken from the New Testament book of Luke 15:3-7, as well as several other Scripture verses.

For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.9But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
