Terrorism on SermonAudio

Sunday morning sermon, continuing in Romans 3.

Dalton sat before the microphone for this edition of Crosstalk's weekly "Round-Up" broadcast. Here are some highlights: --Republican Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has halted executions through the rest of the year after officials failed to successfully administer two separate doses of the lethal injection to Christa Gail Pike. --An Indian airline captain, who was at the controls of his airliner, was stabbed by his co-pilot in an apparent attempt to crash the plane. Although he was seriously injured, he still managed to open the cockpit door allowing passengers to enter and restrain the attacking co-pilot as the Boeing 737 was descending sharply. The flight was carrying people from Dubai, United Arab Emirates to Tel Aviv, Israel. --A dual Iranian/British citizen was arrested by counter-terrorism police in Britain in the wake of an allegedly foiled plot to attack a U.S. air base on British soil last weekend. --Iranian officials and state media said that the U.S. had responded to Tehran's recent proposal for a 7 day cease-fire and the phased re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz with a counter proposal that the government is now considering. --The oil is flowing in the Persian Gulf even as Iran is choking on fumes. Oil exports from the region have rebounded to 72% of pre-war levels and crude flow through the Strait of Hormuz is a little under half of what it was before the war, according to analysts. --The Iranian foreign minister said Tehran will not back down on the terms of a 7 day cease-fire, "even if it comes to a doomsday war."

In this multi-part series, we journey through Volume II of Jonathan Edwards's Works to explore how one of history's keenest theological minds wielded both the thunder of divine judgment and the blinding beauty of sovereign grace. From the terrifying, Old Testament-anchored metaphors of Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God and Sinners in Zion Tenderly Warned, to the surgical dissection of the self-deceived heart in Hypocrites Deficient in Prayer, Edwards deployed the stark reality of hell not to terrorize for terror's sake, but as a diagnostic hammer to shatter carnal security, strip away false hopes, and drive awakened souls into the means of grace. Yet, as we trace his deep psychological insights through the lens of human inability, duty, and the urgency of seeking, we discover that this dark backdrop of divine justice was intentionally crafted to illuminate its true counterweight: the breathtaking "conjunction of diverse excellencies" in Jesus Christ, whose infinite majesty, tender meekness, and irresistible sweetness offer the only true refuge for a desperate world.

(1) Israel Watch 9/30/26: We discuss the BREAKING NEWS story (at the time of our study) of the FlyDubai flight Islamist Jihadist terror attack and the reality that the Islamic Death Cult presents to those who fly, have surgery, seek health care, etc. (2) About Gas Prices: The fact that our inflated gas prices as of the date of this recording was NOT due to the Iran War but do to high gas taxes, liberal environmental policies AND gouging (possibly to sabotage the mid-term elections in favor of Democrat Leftists). (3) The "news media" attempt to stir up a race war continues... This time knee-jerk reports and conclusions regarding handfuls of "KKK" flyers thrown out of a car window in the immediate area surrounding the BBF Church building. (4) Some funny things: Mamdani's wife, Britian's apologies to Muslim terrorists and BBF Valet Parking. https://bbfohio.com

What does Moses mean when he tells Israel, "Fear not", and then immediately says that "his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not"? At first, these words may appear contradictory. Why would Moses tell the people not to fear, while also teaching them to fear God? In this Bible study, we examine the powerful distinction between terror and godly fear. When Israel stood before Mount Sinai, they witnessed thunderings, lightning, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. They were overwhelmed by the awesome manifestation of God's presence and stood afar off. But Moses explained God's purpose: "Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not." — Exodus 20:20 God was not teaching Israel to live in hopeless terror of Him. He was teaching them to recognize His holiness, authority, majesty, righteousness, and power so deeply that His presence would influence how they lived. The Hebrew concept behind "fear" — yare' has a broad range of meaning. It can describe fear of danger, dread, trembling, awe, reverence, profound respect, and the holy fear of God. Understanding this range helps us see why biblical fear is not simply being frightened. 🙏 The proper fear of God produces worship. 📖 The fear of God produces obedience. 🛡️ The fear of God helps restrain sin. ❤️ The fear of God can exist alongside love and forgiveness. 🔥 The fear of God can overcome the fear of man. ✝️ The fear of God should influence every area of the Christian life. The goal of this study is not to create an unhealthy terror of God, but to recover a biblical understanding of holy reverence a fear that causes us to take God more seriously.

Sermon | Esther 7:1-10| Sunday Evening Service, September 27, 2026. Preacher: Ps Rocky Stevenson This sermon examines the pivotal moment in Esther 7 where Esther reveals her Jewish identity to King Ahasuerus, exposing Haman as the enemy seeking their destruction. Ps Rocky highlights Esther's strategic wisdom and boldness in naming evil plainly, contrasting her courage with the king's drunkenness and Haman's terror. The central theological argument posits that God's preservation of Israel is not based on their righteousness or spiritual devotion, but on His irrevocable covenant faithfulness and grace. By connecting this ancient narrative to modern anti-Semitism and the church's call to boldness, the message emphasizes that divine providence works through ordinary means to fulfill God's promises. Ultimately, the sermon invites the audience to trust in God's unchanging character rather than their own performance, finding comfort in the assurance that God keeps His word even when His people are unfaithful.

Why is it that leaders can be guilty of injustice and oppression for years, only to be finally removed from office or publicly disgraced when a sexual scandal breaks? Why do men like Bill Gothard or Joe Biden spend years openly using their authority and forcing women and children to endure their violations of intimacy through unwanted touches or closeness, and it is accepted? How do we solve these types of problems? How can we protect not just our sons and daughters, but how can we change our culture so such evil is not permitted?In this episode, we want to ask what God's word says about authority and oppression. We know that God says all authorities are appointed by Him, but does that mean we just have to put up with evil leaders? God forbid! But often, as Christians, we forget that God has appointed multiple authorities - not just the church and home, but even other officers in the same government or other levels of government. God cares greatly about oppression, but at times, it seems as if the church does not. We need to change that. Please join us as we discuss this important topic.
