Bible Reading: John 19:27-37 Christ's Sixth Cry from the Cross - "It is finished" 1. A Cry of Conquest. 2. A Cry of Comfort. 3. A Cry of Command. 4. A Cry of Victory, not Defeat. The sermon centers on Christ's final cry from the cross—'It is finished'—presenting it as a triumphant declaration of completed salvation, not defeat. Through the Greek word *telestai*, meaning a work fully accomplished, the preacher emphasizes that Christ's atonement is complete, rendering further human effort unnecessary, and offering forgiveness, reconciliation, and access to God's presence. The cry is portrayed as a victory over sin, Satan, and death, with the tearing of the temple veil symbolizing the end of separation between humanity and God. It is also a call to personal commitment: believers are invited not only to rest in Christ's finished work but to faithfully complete the divine mission entrusted to them, knowing that their labor, suffering, and sorrow will end in eternal glory. The tone is both pastoral and urgent, inviting listeners to abandon self-effort and embrace salvation through faith alone.

First "real" program from the Mobile Command Center! Musings on secularism, the death of the West, and God's judgment.

Here's a look at some headlines from the first 20 minutes of this "Round-Up" broadcast. Later on, listeners were given the opportunity to share their thoughts: --At 2:19am Eastern Time this morning, before adjourning for a 2 week recess, the U.S. Senate passed a bill approving Department of Homeland Security funds to pay TSA agents, but it excludes money for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol. --Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who is said to be leading diplomatic talks with the U.S., praised Hamas' October 7, 2023, massacre against Israel as a victory and recently threatened to, "...make the Persian Gulf run with the blood of invaders" if Washington targets regime assets on islands there. --Iran has rejected a 15 point cease-fire proposal from the U.S. while offering a 5 point counter-plan of their own. --Iran just released a video simulating a missile attack on the Statue of Liberty. --Iran's IRGC Navy Commander was targeted and killed in an Israeli attack. --Multiple Gulf and Arab states are taking a far more forceful posture concerning Iran. --President Trump extended, by 10 days, possible attacks on Iran's energy sector. --The Pentagon is considering sending up to an additional 10,000 ground troops to the Middle East according to a senior defense official. --The Saudi Crown Prince has been pushing President Trump to continue the war with Iran. --Russia is sending drones and other equipment to Iran this month. --President Putin of Russia reportedly has asked the nation's ultra-wealthy oligarchs to donate funds to help boost the nation's dwindling military budget.

Jumped into our new 5th wheel to test out all the work Rich has been doing putting together a rapidly deployable and usable mobile studio in the wonderful office space in our new unit. Went well! He has more tweaking to do, and I have a lot of pictures to put up yet, but we are started. Headed to Utah on Thursday, debate on Saturday with Shabir Ally. Covered a bunch of topics from the Apocrypha to the Qur'an to Phil Vischer! Hope to do another program on Thursday after six plus hours on the road.

The Sixth Commandment, 'You shall not murder,' is not a blanket prohibition on all killing but a profound call to reverence human life as sacred because every person bears the image of God. The sermon clarifies that while the commandment forbids unjust taking of life—including suicide, reckless endangerment, hatred, and violence—it permits and even upholds just actions such as capital punishment, self-defense, and war when conducted as a last resort to preserve life and establish peace. Rooted in Genesis 9 and reinforced by Jesus' teaching in the Sermon on the Mount, the commandment extends beyond outward actions to include the heart, condemning anger and bitterness as forms of spiritual murder. The preacher emphasizes that obedience is not legalistic but a response to divine grace, requiring active, lawful efforts to protect life through personal responsibility, moral discernment, and a commitment to justice and peace, reflecting the love and holiness of God.

What are you afraid of? In this message, Jesus completely redefines fear. He tells His disciples they will be rejected, slandered, and persecuted just like He was, yet He commands them three times not to fear. Why? Because most of our fears are misplaced. We fear people, rejection, loss, and not being taken care of, but Jesus makes it clear that we are fearing the wrong thing. Man can only touch your body, but God holds your eternity. At the same time, the God we are to fear is also our Father, the One who sees the sparrow fall, knows every hair on your head, and values you far above all creation. This message will challenge you to shift your fear from man to God and replace insecurity with confidence in His care. Stop fearing the wrong things and start fearing the right One.   #FearTheRightThing #Matthew10 #FearGod #DoNotFear #FaithOverFear #TrustGod #ChristianLiving #BiblicalTruth #EndTimes #RockHarborChurch

Started off with a disgusting post from Michael Spangler attacking Corrie Ten Boom and the book, The Hiding Place. Just astonishing how Jew hatred rots the brain. Then we moved on to Dan McClellan's response piece, but spent most of today just discussing doing scholarship under the Lordship of Christ, and how this determines how you are going to interact with the text of Scripture. We will have to continue that response next week, hopefully from the Mobile Command Center!

The sermon centers on the theological significance of the number 10 in Scripture, linking it to divine dominion, the Ten Commandments, and the structure of God's kingdom, while contrasting earthly authority with spiritual reality. It explores how the law, though binding on the flesh, was fulfilled and nullified by Christ's sacrifice, with the cross symbolizing the cancellation of the 'handwriting of ordinances' and the establishment of a new covenant grounded in love. The preacher uses numerical patterns, biblical symbolism, and cosmic imagery—including the moon as a protective shield and celestial bodies as spiritual realities—to argue for a spiritual dimension beyond physical perception, ultimately connecting UFO phenomena and ancient mysteries to demonic deception within the realm of 'principalities and powers.' The tone is both revelatory and cautionary, urging listeners to discern spiritual truth over sensationalism, and to fix their hope on eternal realities, where Christ reigns and believers will one day inherit full knowledge and dominion in the resurrection.
