This sermon explores the revelation of God's wrath against human ungodliness and unrighteousness as detailed in Romans 1. The speaker emphasizes that humanity is without excuse because God's invisible attributes are clearly perceived through creation, yet people willfully suppress this truth. By examining passages from Ephesians and Matthew, the text illustrates that all humans are naturally children of wrath due to sin, but believers are saved by grace through Christ. The message contrasts the inevitable judgment for those who reject God with the mercy offered to the elect, highlighting that salvation is found only in Jesus. Ultimately, the sermon calls listeners to recognize their depraved state and appreciate the sovereign remedy provided by God's grace.

What does Genesis 25 truly reveal about Jacob and Esau? The answer becomes much clearer when we understand the Hebrew idioms hidden behind the English translation. In Episode 34 of Unlocking the Hebraic Idioms of the Bible, Pastor Brandon examines phrases such as "mild man," "dwelling in tents," "man of the field," and "skillful hunter." These expressions reveal a dramatically different picture of Jacob and Esau—and help explain why Jacob valued God's covenant while Esau treated his spiritual inheritance as something common. This teaching also explores biblical leadership through the life of a shepherd, Esau's connection with Nimrod, the sale of the birthright, spiritual discernment, immediate gratification versus eternal inheritance, and the meaning of "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."

1 Thessalonians 2:1–6 Paul didn't come to Thessalonica with a sales pitch, a strategy, or a hidden agenda. He came with a clear motive, a faithful message, and a determined movement. In 1 Thessalonians 2:1–6, Paul pulls back the curtain and shows us the heart behind his ministry. He wasn't there to impress people or make a name for himself. He came entrusted with the Gospel of God The Lord Jesus Christ, moved by sincerity, and unashamed of the truth—even when it cost him. In this message, Pastor Ed Decker challenges us to examine our own motive, stand firm in our message, and move forward with boldness. The world doesn't need more entertainment. It needs more believers who will MAKE IT HAPPEN for the glory of God and the good of souls. 1 Thessalonians 2:1–6 — "But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts." #PastorEdDecker #ArnoldBaptistTabernacle #1Thessalonians #KJV #BiblePreaching #Gospel #ChristianSermon #FaithfulPreaching #MakeItHappen

Galatians 2:11-16 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. 12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. 13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. 14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? 15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, 16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

The sermon explores the experience of John the Baptist, who questioned Jesus' identity while imprisoned in a dungeon. It highlights how doubt can affect even the most faithful believers during difficult circumstances. The preacher emphasizes that seeking answers directly from Jesus provides peace and reassurance. Scripture is presented as the ultimate source of truth to combat uncertainty and spiritual weakness. The central message encourages listeners to trust in God's love and power despite their own struggles or lack of understanding.

The Apostle Paul stands before King Agrippa and Governor Festus, shifting his legal defense from personal innocence to the central truth of Christ's death and resurrection. While Festus dismisses the message as madness due to its incompatibility with pagan worldview, Paul asserts that the gospel is rational sober truth. He challenges Agrippa directly regarding belief in the prophets, highlighting the king's evasive response to the call for faith. The sermon emphasizes that the Christian message demands a personal response rather than mere intellectual curiosity or spectatorship. Ultimately, it calls believers to faithfully proclaim this life-giving truth and urgently invite others to believe.

Is this Psalm a wedding song about a king and the bride brought to him, or is it something else entirely? Ask why she is commanded to forget her own people and her father's house before the king desires her at all. Then ask what wife was ever told to worship her husband. So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
