In Episode 10 of Insaka Season 3, Chopo Mwanza and Kevin Sherman sit down to discuss why doctrine matters in the life of every Christian. What we believe about God, Christ, salvation and Scripture inevitably shapes how we worship, live and serve. Sound doctrine is not merely for pastors, theologians or the classroom. God has given His Word to His people so that we may know Him rightly, grow in truth and discern error. Doctrine should shape not only what we know, but also how we live. Watch, share and join the conversation. #InsakaPodcast #ChristiansAndDoctrine #SoundDoctrine #ChristianLife #CABU

Should executions be live streamed, and how should believers view capital punishment? In this episode of the Straight Truth Podcast, Dr. Josh Philpot and Pastor Richard Caldwell examine the debate regarding public executions through the lens of biblical justice. Prompted by the news of Nidal Hasan facing a firing squad, they discuss what the Bible says about the death penalty. Pastor Caldwell explains from Genesis 9 and Romans 13 that capital punishment upholds the value of human life and that God has ordained the government to wield the sword. They explore how swift justice serves as a deterrent, the difference between governmental retribution and personal vengeance, and why Christians can support just sentences while still praying for the salvation of the guilty.

Historic creeds continue to serve the church by summarizing biblical truth, strengthening unity, helping believers recognize false teaching, and passing sound doctrine to future generations. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins considers Ephesians 4:11–14 and 2 Timothy 2:2 to explain why creeds remain useful today. Their value rests in their faithfulness to Scripture. The Bible alone is our final authority, and every creed, confession, and teaching must be tested by God's Word.

They Came Home This message explores the true meaning of homecoming through three biblical scenes, revealing that coming home is more than returning to a familiar place or gathering with familiar people. True homecoming is about what God has done in us, what He is doing through us, and what He still desires to do with us. Each scene illustrates the redeeming grace, transforming power, and continuing purpose of God in the lives of those who respond to Him. The first scene, in Luke 15, reveals a son who came home to testify about what God had done in him. The prodigal son left his father's house believing he knew a better way to live. His self-centered decisions led him into reckless living, wasted resources, and eventually the misery of a hog pen. Yet, when he came to himself, he remembered his father's goodness, recognized his own sin, and returned home in repentance. His father received him with compassion and celebrated his restoration. This beautiful picture reminds us that God's grace can reach us in our lowest condition, transform our thinking, and redirect our lives. The scars of yesterday do not have to define tomorrow when God plants His truth in our wounded hearts. The second scene, in Acts 14, reveals missionaries who came home to declare what God had done through them. Paul and Barnabas returned to Antioch after proclaiming the gospel, making disciples, enduring persecution, and witnessing God's marvelous work among the Gentiles. Their testimony wasn't centered on their accomplishments but on God's faithfulness. Their example challenges every believer to live as an everyday missionary, recognizing homes, workplaces, communities, and ordinary circumstances as

Splendor to Render — We Were Made and Born Again to Render His Splendor This message emphasizes that God has fashioned all things for His glory, and through Jesus Christ, believers have been redeemed and made new creatures to reflect His splendor in every aspect of life. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 8–11 and 15, the sermon challenges us to examine why we were created, who we belong to, how we are functioning, and what kind of fruit our lives are producing. Three foundational truths define God's purpose for our lives: • His Divine Design — The Reason We Were Fashioned: God created us intentionally, for His pleasure and glory. Our identity and purpose must be established by our Creator rather than by the changing opinions of the world. • His Divine Declaration — The Results of Our Function: Like the sun, moon, and stars, which possess distinct glories and purposes, believers have different responsibilities and opportunities that work together to reveal God's goodness and character. • His Divine Delight — The Reward of Our Fruit: When we faithfully function according to God's design, the fruit produced through His grace brings pleasure to Him, strengthens others, and declares the transforming power of Jesus. Using Israel's wilderness journey in 1 Corinthians 10, the message warns that people can experience the same provisions and circumstances without responding to them in the same way. Although Israel witnessed God's deliverance and received His provision, many failed to please Him because of unbelief, idolatry, immorality, and complaining. Their experiences were preserved for our instruction, reminding us that faith involves seeing, agreeing with, and acting upon what
