This message is from the Sovereign Outreach 4 Grace / SO4G 2026 Sunday Morning Messages - Sermon Audio Broadcast Series. This message was delivered by Brother, Douglas Salyer at the Salesville Church of Faith in Salesville, Ohio. The title of this sermon was 'Total Trust in the LORD', the key text for this message was taken from Job 1;20-22, along with several other passages.

This sermon expounds on Ephesians 4:25-32, arguing that believers, as new creations in Christ, must align their actions, speech, and thoughts with their renewed identity. The central message emphasizes that God is concerned not merely with external behavior but with the heart, which dictates both words and attitudes. The text highlights the duty to speak truth and edify others, avoiding falsehood, gossip, and malicious speech, while also addressing the need to manage anger and replace sinful thoughts with those that please God. Drawing on the Westminster Larger Catechism, the exposition provides specific applications for the Ninth Commandment, urging listeners to pursue integrity, kindness, and spiritual growth through the power of the Holy Spirit.

This episode explores the theological identity of the Bible, arguing that it is not merely a human religious text but the authoritative Word of God. By examining 2 Timothy 3:14-17 and 2 Peter 1:19-21, the episode clarifies that while human authors wrote the scriptures, the Holy Spirit sovereignly guided them, resulting in a text that is both genuinely human and divinely inspired. The episode emphasizes that the Bible's authority is grounded in God's nature rather than church tradition or human consensus, serving as the sole rule for faith and obedience. It further outlines the practical implications of this doctrine, urging believers to hear, read, believe, submit to, and teach Scripture as the means by which God makes them wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

When fear prevents you from loving, God's love gives you reason not to fear.

A wonderful, encouraging and thoughtful message on the importance of church membership! In addition to the two Scripture references mentioned below, also referenced was 1 Corinthians 12:12-25. Be blessed!

This sermon addresses the critical need for spiritual discernment in an age of abundant information yet widespread confusion. Drawing from Hebrews 5, the message argues that discernment is not a mystical gift but a muscle developed through the steady, daily exercise of God's Word. It identifies the danger of remaining in spiritual infancy, characterized by dullness of hearing and a reliance on milk rather than strong meat, which leaves believers vulnerable to deception. The preacher outlines the moral and spiritual implications of this lack of discernment in social, political, and financial spheres, emphasizing that true maturity involves distinguishing good from evil based on settled knowledge of Scripture. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a disciplined practice of reading, praying, and obeying the Bible to train one's senses and achieve the full age of Christian maturity.
