This instructional Kids message defines faith and repentance as saving graces that involve resting in Christ alone and turning from sin to God. The teaching uses the account of the rich young man in Mark 10 to illustrate the failure of relying on personal works for salvation, contrasting this with the positive example of Zacchaeus who demonstrated true faith through repentance. The core message emphasizes that good works cannot save a person, but rather that salvation is received by trusting in Jesus and hating sin. The tone is pastoral and educational, aimed at instructing both children and adults in the fundamental Protestant Baptist theology of grace. The sermon concludes with a call to trust in God alone and to pursue new obedience as a response to His mercy.

Listen-in to the conclusion of the book of Romans through today's This Day In The Word radio teaching broadcast, "The Glory and Wisdom War."

Our words reveal what is in our hearts and they have real power over people. Have you ever reflected about something that came out of your mouth and wondered later why you said it?

Does the grave keep any power over the soul of the man who dies in the Lord? Read verse 15 and ask whether God redeems the psalmist from the grave or from "the power of the grave" (Psalm 49:15). Then ask how He does it, and read Revelation 6:9 to see where the souls of the slain are found. "But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me." (Psalm 49:15)

This sermon examines the counsel of Eliphaz in Job chapter 4, contrasting his logical, retributive worldview with the biblical truth that the righteous often suffer. The speaker highlights how Eliphaz's advice, while rooted in some biblical principles like sowing and reaping, fails to address the reality of innocent suffering and the mystery of God's sovereignty. By exploring the theological implications of suffering through passages like Colossians 1:24 and Romans 8:28, the message affirms that God uses trials to deepen faith, fulfill the body of Christ, and conform believers to the image of Jesus. The tone is pastoral and instructional, encouraging listeners to move beyond simplistic explanations of pain and instead trust in God's unchanging love and divine purpose. Ultimately, the sermon invites the congregation to view suffering not as a sign of divine abandonment, but as a means by which God works for the good of His people and the glory of His name.

Bible Reading: John 3:15-18 This sermon uses the commission of Peter in John 21 to encourage the congregation to actively participate in the spiritual nurture of children. The speaker outlines the practical aspects of children's ministry, including holiday Bible clubs, school assemblies, and camps, emphasizing that these efforts are vital for reaching the next generation with the gospel. The central theological argument is that children are capable of genuine faith and salvation, countering the notion that they are too young to understand spiritual truths. The message concludes with a pastoral call for all believers, regardless of their specific role, to view their involvement in teaching and praying for children as a direct expression of their love for Christ.

False teachers deserve God's judgement because they reject God's truth and live for themselves, but God's people should hear Jude's warning with humility. Apart from God's grace, we would be no better.

Psalm 74:5-6 (KJV) A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees. 6 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
