  • Can we trust the Bible?

    Scripture: Psalm 119:1–88; 2 Timothy 3:16

    In this lesson, we explore the foundation of Christianity: the Bible as God’s inerrant Word. Together we unpack the meaning of revelation, inspiration, and inerrancy, examine common false views, and see why Jesus Himself trusted Scripture as the Word of God. This teaching challenges us to ground our lives not in shifting culture but in the unshakable truth of God’s Word.

    A short video, interactive questions, and real-life applications guide students to understand why Scripture is trustworthy, authoritative, and essential for daily living.

    📖 “All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable…” (2 Timothy 3:16)

  • The Only Rock

    Knowing Him as the Everlasting Rock

    When everything around us shakes—politics, economies, families, even our own hearts—what foundation holds? In Isaiah 26:3–4, God reveals Himself as the Everlasting Rock. This sermon takes you on a journey through Scripture, showing why He is called the Rock, how Christ fulfills this image, and what it means to truly transfer the weight of your life onto Him. Discover the false “rocks” we often lean on, the perfect peace promised to those who trust Him, and the daily life-transforming implications of resting on Christ the Rock of Ages.

  • Our Help

    Many today say, “God doesn’t seem present when I need Him.” It’s not because He isn’t — it’s because we’re often looking only for an escape. We want the lions removed, the fire extinguished, the prison doors opened, the stormstilled. But Psalm 46:1 declares that God Himself is the help — not just the way out, but the One who is with us in the trouble.

  • Acts 2:23,36-27

    From Indicted to Invited | Acts 2:23, 36

    What if the greatest crime in history — crucifying God in the flesh — became the very doorway into salvation? In this message we follow Peter’s Pentecost sermon and discover that the words “you crucified Him” extend beyond the first-century crowd to every one of us. Our sins demanded the cross, and true repentance means more than regret over yesterday’s failures — it is deep sorrow over our complicity in Christ’s death.

    Yet the wonder of the gospel is this: the indicted are also the invited. Those guilty of the cross are invited into forgiveness, adoption, holiness, and eternal joy with Christ. This is the invitation that compels us to obey Him with gratitude and to live as His own.

  • The Real Perpetrators

    Who Really Crucified Christ?
    This message confronts us with the sobering truth that our sins placed Jesus on the cross. Through Acts 2, Isaiah 53, Romans 5, and Hebrews 6, we see that every thought, word, and action of rebellion is a hammer strike that nailed Him there. Communion reminds us of our guilt, Christ’s provision, and our future hope. The call is clear: until we confess, “I crucified Him,” we cannot confess Him as Savior.

  • Saved to Proclaim

    What does it mean to have a mind stayed on Christ? It means living out the Great Commission in every circumstance of life. In this teaching, Pastor Floyd Foster walks through the five Great Commission texts (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts) and shows how together they give us the full picture of the gospel mission. From the Seven C’s of biblical history to the grammar of Jesus’ commands, from Paul’s example to our own everyday lives, this message unpacks what it means to be saved not just from sin but to proclamation, discipleship, and witness. With rich biblical exposition, Reformed insights, and practical applications, this sermon calls believers to live sent — and reminds us that one day, we will give an account before Christ at the judgment seat for how we lived His mission.

  • The Blessing of a Thorn

    “The Thorn Is a Blessing: How Weakness Reveals Real Contentment”

    By: Pastor Floyd Foster

    📝 Episode Description:
    What if the very thing you're praying to be removed is God's greatest gift to you?

    In this powerful expositional journey through 2 Corinthians 12:7–10, we unpack Paul's surprising discovery: contentment is not found in comfort—but in grace. Through the lens of Reformed theology, this teaching dismantles the lie that spiritual maturity protects us from suffering. Instead, we learn that divine wisdom often comes paired with divine weakness to keep us dependent on grace, not giftedness.

    We'll explore:

    • The difference between self-generated and Spirit-wrought contentment

    • Why God's “no” to Paul was a deeper “yes” to transformation

    • What kind of contentment you have—and how trials expose it

    • How contentment, like repentance and faith, comes in two forms

    • Why the thorn might be the most gracious thing God ever gave you

    📖 Key Verse:
    "Therefore I am well content with weaknesses... for when I am weak, then I am strong." (2 Corinthians 12:10 NASB)

    🧠 Quote to Remember:
    "Contentment is not the absence of desire—it is the submission of desire to God's will." – Thomas Watson

  • Expectations

    Anchored Expectations: Finding Contentment in a Disordered World
    In a culture driven by emotional highs and constant disappointment, how do we anchor our souls in true stability? In this powerful message, Pastor Floyd Foster explores how dopamine-driven expectations—when not aligned with God’s Word—lead to discontent, inconsistency, and burnout. Drawing from the lives of Paul, Job, and even King Saul, this sermon contrasts worldly expectations with Scripture-rooted ones.

    You’ll discover how biblical doctrine—not dopamine—is the foundation of lasting peace, and how reshaping your expectations around God’s promises leads to spiritual maturity, consistent discipline, and unshakable joy.

    📖 Featuring deep Reformed insights, real-life illustrations, and a charismatic call to transformation, this episode will leave you both convicted and comforted.
    “Stop chasing emotional spikes. Anchor your soul in Scripture.”

  • Forgiveness:

    Title: Repentance & Forgiveness: The Transformed Mind as the Christian Life
    Scripture: Colossians 3:13; Ephesians 4:32

    In this message, we move from the biological consequences of unforgiveness to the biblical command to forgive and repent as a way of thinking, not merely feeling.
    Using a literal, grammatical, and historical approach to Colossians 3:13 and Ephesians 4:32, we explore how Spirit-empowered thinking transforms every area of life.
    This sermon combines rich theological insight, Reformed teaching, ACBC counseling applications, and real-life illustrations to show that forgiveness is not weakness—it is gospel vision.

    Repentance is more than regret. Forgiveness is more than emotion.
    They are the lenses through which the Christian must think, live, and love.
