Scripture: Exodus 25:1–9 Sermon: "The Saints' Contributions (Biblical Church Finance: Part 4)" Speaker: Pastor Sam Lee Date: September 20, 2026

We all go through storms. Some storms are sent to develop us. Some storms are the result of our own decisions. Some trials come through the attacks of the devil. But whatever the source of the storm, there is one thing we can know: Jesus is still with us in the storm. In Mark 4, the disciples found themselves in a great storm on the Sea of Galilee. They were afraid, but Jesus knew exactly where they were going—and He knew what was waiting for them on the other side. In Mark 5, we see the reason the journey mattered: a man whose life had been devastated by an unclean spirit was waiting for Jesus. The disciples didn't know what was on the other side of their storm. Jesus did. Bro. Caleb McCarter challenges us with a simple truth: DON'T WASTE YOUR STORM. Someone is watching how you respond to what you're going through. Will they see fear, bitterness, and anger—or will they see faith, prayer, praise, and confidence in Jesus Christ? Your storm may become somebody else's opportunity to see Jesus. 📖 Scripture: Mark 4:35–41; Mark 5:1–20

A September 2025 survey conducted by Arizona State University (on a self-described group of Christians) revealed only 14 percent hold a biblical view on sin. God's word adamantly describes sin, as well as what we are to do when we sin against Him.

This sermon examines Hebrews 9:11-12 to demonstrate that Jesus Christ is the substance behind the Old Testament shadows, specifically identifying Him as the 'true tabernacle' and the 'sanctuary' of heaven. The exposition distinguishes between the earthly tabernacle, which prefigured the incarnation of God dwelling among His people, and the heavenly sanctuary, where Christ entered once for all to secure eternal redemption. By analyzing the Greek term for redemption, the message emphasizes that Christ's sacrifice was a final, sufficient payment that freed believers from the slavery of sin, contrasting this biblical truth with various theological errors regarding the atonement. The sermon concludes by urging believers to move beyond spiritual shadows to the substance of Christ, finding assurance in His finished work and joy in the abiding presence of God.

This sermon examines the fourth, fifth, and sixth plagues in Egypt, emphasizing that God's repeated warnings demonstrate His mercy and desire for repentance rather than immediate destruction. The central theological theme is the divine distinction between God's people and the world, illustrated by the protection of Israel in Goshen and the preservation of their livestock, which points to the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. The preacher argues that genuine faith results in a transformed life and separation from sin, rejecting the compromise of maintaining worldly ties while professing Christianity. By contrasting the failure of Egyptian idols and magicians with the sovereignty of the Lord, the message underscores that only Christ provides true salvation and intercession. The tone is convicting and pastoral, urging the audience to examine their own faith and respond to God's grace before it is too late.
