COMMITTED UNTIL… We Do Not Leave the Fight Until the Family Has Rest Primary Passage: Numbers 32 Supporting Passages: Joshua 14; John 3:16; 1 John 3:16; 2 Timothy 3:16; Colossians 3:16; Malachi 3:16; Hebrews 11:6–7; Proverbs 16:3 Central Truth: God has not called us merely to possess something for ourselves. He has joined us to a family. And love for that family demands that we remain committed, engaged, invested, and willing to lay down our lives until our brothers and sisters are strengthened to walk in everything God has appointed for them. There comes a time when commitment has to become more than something we say. It has to become something we stay with. Anybody can be excited at the beginning. Anybody can celebrate a promise when it is first spoken. Anybody can rejoice when the inheritance first comes into view. But Numbers 32 confronts us with another question: What happens when I have what I need, but my brother is still fighting for what God has promised him? What happens when my family is settled, but another family still needs strengthening? What happens when I have crossed my mountain, but somebody beside me is still trying to climb theirs? What happens when God has brought me through a season, but the people around me are still in it? Do I say, "Well, I got mine"? Do I settle down? Do I disengage? Do I take my hands off? Or do I say, "I am committed until…" Until my brothers have crossed. Until my sisters have been strengthened. Until our children know the truth. Until our marriages are being built upon what God says. Until the people God has joined me to are encouraged to possess everything He has appointed for them. Until the family has

Dawn Hill examines Vlad Savchuk's "octopus spirit" teaching and the Scriptures used to support it. She explains why passages about thoughts, temptation, and spiritual warfare should be read in context rather than used to establish an unnamed demon. She closes with biblical encouragement to seek counsel, resist isolation, and look to Christ and His Word. For more from Dawn, please visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/dawn-hill/

Look • Listen • Live The message centers on God's gracious instruction in Numbers 15:37–41, where He gave Israel tassels with a blue thread as a visible reminder to look, remember, and do what He had commanded. The principle carries directly into our lives today: look to Jesus, listen to what He has said, and live by faith in what He gives us. We do not naturally drift toward obedience. Our hearts and eyes are inclined toward the flesh, so walking with God requires intentional faith and continual dependence upon His light. God is not looking for the best version of us or even our version of Jesus. He desires for the life of Jesus to be manifested through us. That means we need Him to reveal what we cannot see and correct what we are seeing wrongly. Faith comes by hearing, so in the kingdom of God we often see by hearing—God speaks, His Word sheds light, and suddenly we can interpret our circumstances from His perspective rather than our own. The illustration of "life in a jar" pictures the many experiences that fill our days. The ordinary moments are like buttons. The unforgettable "ever since" moments of God's grace and faithfulness are like pearls. And then there are the lemons—the losses, disappointments, griefs, hardships, and wounds that leave a sour taste in our lives. God does not necessarily remove those lemons, but when He pours His light into our lives, His light changes how we see everything in the jar. The pain may still be painful, but it no longer gets to interpret God for us. That is why we must continually look to Jesus. Hebrews 12 reminds us that when we become weary and discouraged, we are to consider Him. Jesus endured the race set before Him, trus

Please pray for the Stockton Open Air, Thursdays at 11:30 am. This sermon centres on the birth of Jesus Christ as recorded in Matthew 1, emphasising that His incarnation as Emmanuel, or God with us, was specifically to save His people from their sins. The message presents a stark choice between acknowledging Jesus as Lord or rejecting Him, arguing that human works are insufficient for salvation and that only grace through faith in Christ's atoning death can remove the penalty and power of sin. It highlights the infinite worth of Jesus, who bore the wrath of God on behalf of sinners, contrasting the hope of eternal life with the certainty of judgment for those who reject Him. The tone is urgent and pastoral, calling listeners to examine their spiritual state and trust in the finished work of Christ to be adopted into God's royal family.

This sermon examines the theological mystery presented in Romans 11:25-26, specifically addressing the relationship between the partial hardening of ethnic Israel and the fullness of the Gentiles coming to faith. The speaker argues that the term 'mystery' refers to a previously hidden truth now revealed by God, rather than an incomprehensible secret. By analyzing the context of Paul's argument, the sermon concludes that 'all Israel will be saved' refers to a future national restoration of ethnic Jews, distinct from the individual election of a remnant. This interpretation is supported by the temporal sequence implied in the text, suggesting that Israel's blindness has a terminating point linked to the completion of Gentile salvation. The teaching emphasizes that this restoration does not imply a separate dispensational program for Jews but rather their inclusion into the one body of Christ, the church, alongside Gentile believers.

This sermon examines the theological status of Israel in light of Romans 11, arguing that God has not cast away His chosen people despite their rejection of the Messiah. The message outlines four key truths: God's initial choice of Israel, their subsequent unbelief, the existence of a saved remnant, and their future restoration. It emphasizes that the church's current role does not nullify God's eternal covenants with the Jewish nation, distinguishing between the church's present blessings and Israel's future fulfillment in the millennial kingdom. The tone is instructional and pastoral, urging believers to reject anti-Semitism and recognize that Israel's persecution and eventual salvation are part of God's unchanging plan. The sermon concludes by affirming that God's gifts and calling are irrevocable, providing assurance of His faithfulness to both Israel and the church.

This sermon describes a healthy church as one that possesses sound theology, which is described as a correct and heartfelt understanding of God based on Scripture. Both intellectual accuracy and intimate devotion should be the aim of a healthy church. The speaker outlines key attributes of God, such as His holiness, love, sovereignty, and faithfulness, arguing that a distorted view of these characteristics leads to an unhealthy faith. It is asserted that the church must be united in essential doctrines while maintaining a deep, awe-filled relationship with God that transforms daily life. The message concludes by urging believers to live in a manner worthy of the gospel, demonstrating their theology through faithful conduct and devotion.

This sermon explores Psalm 56, highlighting David's experience of fear and persecution as he navigates a difficult season of life. The central message emphasizes that while believers may face real problems and anxiety, they are called to respond with faith and genuine praise rather than despair. The text underscores the theological truth that God is intimately aware of every step and tear, offering a profound promise of His presence and protection. By contrasting the world's hostility with God's mercy, the message encourages listeners to trust in God's sovereignty, finding comfort in the knowledge that He hears their prayers and sees their weeping. The tone is pastoral and encouraging, inviting the congregation to find strength in the assurance that God is for them, even when circumstances seem overwhelming.
