A Work in Progress, But a Work of God Summary of the Message This message emphasizes the wonderful truth that God is not looking for people who possess all the abilities necessary to accomplish His purposes, but for humble, teachable, surrendered servants who are available to His ability. Through the life of Moses, we discover how God transforms a self-sufficient man into a meek and faithful servant who learns to depend entirely upon the Lord. Moses began with extraordinary advantages, having been educated in all the wisdom of Egypt and described as mighty in words and deeds (Acts 7:22). Yet when he attempted to deliver his people through his own strength, he failed and fled into the wilderness. During the next forty years, God prepared him for a work that could never be accomplished by human ability alone. At the burning bush, Moses learned that the power necessary for deliverance would come from God's presence, not his personal qualifications. God didn't need the bush to fuel His fire, and He didn't need Moses' abilities to accomplish His purposes. Numbers 12:3 describes Moses as exceedingly meek, revealing the kind of servant God had shaped him to become. Psalm 25:8–9 reminds us that the Lord teaches sinners in the way and guides the meek. Isaiah 66:1–2 further reveals that God looks favorably upon those who are poor and contrite in spirit and who tremble at His Word. These truths establish that our greatest usefulness to God comes not from self-confidence but from humble dependence upon Him. The message also highlights the importance of hearing God's Word with the intention of obeying it. Deuteronomy 10:12–13 identifies five responses God requires of His people:

A thankful heart grows from knowing God's grace in Jesus Christ. Drawing from Colossians 3:12–17, Dave Jenkins explains how biblical thanksgiving reaches beyond our words to shape the way we see life and treat others. This episode considers how the gospel confronts entitlement, why Christians need to remember God's faithfulness, and how we can trust His providence in circumstances we would never choose. Dave also discusses recognizing ordinary mercies, resisting comparison, and letting gratitude bear fruit in humility, generosity, patience, forgiveness, and service.

Hear, That You May Live! Deuteronomy 9:1; 8:1–6; 10:12–13; Romans 10:17; Romans 12:1–2 Central Truth: God has given us His Word not merely to inform us, but to transform us. True hearing produces faith, faith produces trust, and genuine trust expresses itself through obedience. This message explores the importance of hearing the Lord with a heart prepared to honor, heed, and obey His Word. Throughout Deuteronomy, Moses repeatedly calls Israel to listen, remember, trust, and follow God's instructions. The recurring purpose statements—"that," "so that," and "that you may"—reveal that God's commandments are never meaningless. His instructions are given for the good of His people, to cultivate their faith, establish their fellowship with Him, and prepare them to walk in His purposes. As Israel prepared to cross the Jordan, Moses reminded them that they must receive God's promises by faith before experiencing their fulfillment. The previous generation had witnessed God's power but failed to trust His Word, allowing the report of their circumstances to become greater than the promises of their Redeemer. Their unbelief resulted in years of unnecessary wandering. The lesson remains: Faith does not deny the difficulties before us; it trusts the faithfulness of the God who has spoken. The message also emphasizes the importance of commitment. Romans 12:1 calls believers to present their bodies as living sacrifices, demonstrating that genuine faith moves beyond knowledge, desire, and good intentions into practical obedience. We may know what is right, desire what is right, and even agree with what is right, but until we surrender ourselves to the Lord, we have not fully responde

This sermon explores the theological mystery of God's sovereign will as revealed in Ephesians 1, emphasizing that salvation is entirely the work of God rather than human effort. The central message highlights redemption through the blood of Jesus Christ as the necessary ransom for sin, arguing that this act satisfies God's justice and demonstrates His grace. The exposition further details the role of the Holy Spirit in sealing believers, providing assurance of their eternal inheritance and security. The tone is instructional and convicting, urging listeners to recognize their spiritual deadness apart from divine revelation and to rest in the certainty of God's eternal plan. The speaker contrasts human reasoning with supernatural truth, asserting that the knowledge of salvation is a gift imparted by the Spirit to the elect.

The sermon explores the distinction between worldly wisdom and the hidden wisdom of God, emphasizing that deep spiritual truths are revealed only by the Spirit of God rather than through human intellect or academic study. It argues that believers possess an unction from the Holy One, which is an internal anointing, that enables them to discern spiritual matters and understand the Word of God without relying solely on external teachers. The message critiques the concept of 'easy believism,' asserting that salvation is a work of God where He builds faith in the believer through the application of Scripture, rather than a human effort to generate faith. By citing 1 John 2:20&27 and Psalm 119:99&100, the teaching encourages believers to engage in diligent meditation on the precepts and judgments of God to gain understanding that surpasses that of their teachers, ultimately resting in the steadfastness of faith provided by Christ.

Dawn Hill examines GeorDavie's claims of prophetic authority, Kathryn Krick's defense of him at 5F Church, and the use of Scripture to portray scrutiny as persecution. She addresses the claim that prophets belong to the Godhead, examines Isaiah 5:20 and 2 Timothy 3:1–5 in context, and compares GeorDavie's denial of misconduct with statements from a Paris service. This episode calls Christians to test spiritual leaders by Scripture, take allegations of abuse seriously, and remain faithful to Jesus Christ rather than placing their confidence in a leader's claimed anointing.
