Truth on SermonAudio

DON'T EVEN INQUIRE! Graced, Gathered, Guided, and Grown by God Scripture: Deuteronomy 10:12–22; 11:1–32; 12:29–32 Central Truth: God is fully able to grace, gather, guide, and grow His people in the very world where He has planted them, without requiring them to adopt the world's ways. His unfailing love deserves our wholehearted trust, devotion, and obedience. The message reveals the remarkable faithfulness of God in taking seventy people into Egypt and multiplying them into a great multitude. Despite generations of bondage, oppression, and opposition, God fulfilled His promise to Abraham. Egypt did not produce their greatness, nor could Pharaoh prevent their growth. The Lord Himself was their source. He redeemed them, gathered them into a nation, and began teaching them how to live as a people belonging to Him. In Deuteronomy 10:12–13, Moses reminds Israel that God's extraordinary mercy calls for a reasonable and affirmative response: to fear Him, love Him, walk in His ways, and serve Him wholeheartedly. Their obedience was not the means of earning His love but the proper response to having received it. This same principle is revealed in Romans 12:1–2, where believers are called to present themselves as living sacrifices because of God's mercies. Leviticus 18 establishes an essential distinction. Israel was not to live according to the practices of Egypt, where they had been, or Canaan, where they were going. God had already provided another way to live—His way. Through His Word, His presence, and His instructions, He was preparing a people to walk with Him rather than depend upon the customs and influences surrounding them. This leads to the central warning of D

Listen-in to today's This Day In The Word radio teaching broadcast, "The Church Indoctrinated by the World," and let's see what God's Word has to say.

The Main Truth: God's steadfast faithfulness calls his people to renewed reverence, integrity, generosity, and hope. Prophetic Message 1: Receive God's love before measuring your circumstances (Micah 1: 1-5) Prophetic Message 2: Restore reverence to your worship (Micah 1:6 - 2:9) Prophetic Message 3: Practice covenant faithfulness in your relationships (Micah 2: 10-16) Prophetic Message 4: Welcome God's purification (Micah 2:17 - 3:5) Prophetic Message 5: Return to God with practical obedience (Micah 3: 6-12) Prophetic Message 6: Remain faithful because God remembers (Micah 3:13 - 4:6) The sermon explores the book of Malachi to demonstrate how God's steadfast faithfulness calls believers to renewed reverence, integrity, generosity, and hope. It addresses the spiritual danger of familiarity replacing reverence, urging the congregation to examine their worship, relationships, and use of resources as evidence of their true devotion. The message emphasizes that God's correction and purification are acts of love intended to restore fellowship, rather than mere punishment. By highlighting the covenant nature of marriage and the importance of honest repentance, the sermon challenges listeners to align their private conduct with their public profession. Ultimately, it encourages believers to remain faithful in the present by anchoring their hope in the future return of Jesus Christ, who will vindicate and make all things right.

Remembering God's goodness strengthens faith, fuels gratitude, and helps Christians trust the Lord when present circumstances are difficult. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins considers Psalms 103 and 77 and the biblical call to remember God's character, promises, and works. He explains how spiritual forgetfulness feeds unbelief, comparison, and discontentment, and how remembering God's grace redirects our hearts toward worship and faithful obedience. At the center of this encouragement are the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ. God's goodness is rooted in His unchanging character, and His love is decisively revealed in His Son. The episode concludes with five practical ways to remember His faithfulness and grow in gratitude today.

This piece challenges Roman Catholic believers to examine their own Bible against traditional church teachings, arguing that Scripture contradicts doctrines such as apostolic succession, purgatory, and the intercession of saints. It asserts that the Bible explicitly forbids adding to or taking from God's word and emphasizes that salvation is found solely through faith in Jesus Christ, who is the only mediator between God and humanity. The text highlights specific biblical passages to refute the necessity of priestly mediation and the efficacy of prayers for the dead, presenting the gospel as a free and accessible truth. The tone is instructional and convicting, urging listeners to rely on the plainness of Scripture rather than human authority. Ultimately, it calls for a return to the apostolic standard of verifying all teachings against the written word to ensure doctrinal purity and personal assurance of salvation.

Psalm 45 is a Maskil—an instructive song of love. The sons of Korah look at the King and the words pour out with no writer's block. He is fairer than the sons of men, grace is on His lips, and He rides for truth, meekness, and righteousness. Because He loved righteousness and hated wickedness, the Father anointed Him with the oil of joy. The call to the bride is total: forget your people and your father's house and bow. Faithfulness, not titles, is the title-giver in the kingdom. Mephibosheth called himself a dead dog and was seated at the table. The Syrophoenician woman accepted the title "dog." The captive slave girl wished her master's healing. Joy comes from stooping that low and submitting right away, all the way, and cheerfully. Test God. Kill your pride at your bedside and see what He does with a dead dog who submits.

In this episode, Assitant Pastor Ryan Ahlenius sits down with Pastor Bo Cogbill and John Unger (RCC's Director of Administration and Discipleship) to discuss the topic of biblical manners, along with a couple of questions we received on manners and honoring your superiors.

How do Christians honor those who are committing wicked deeds? Tune in to hear more.

In Colossians 2:6–10, Pastor Don Green explains what it means to be complete in Christ.
