The sermon explores the theological truth that God sovereignly orchestrates difficult circumstances for ultimate good, using the phrase "it's not a setback, it's a setup" as a central motif. Through four biblical narratives—Joseph's rise from slavery, David's defeat of Goliath, the scattering of the early church, and the resurrection of Jesus—the message illustrates how divine purpose transforms human suffering, betrayal, and failure into testimony and victory. The tone is pastoral and encouraging, urging listeners to trust in God's ability to redeem their current struggles rather than viewing them as final defeats. By emphasizing that God uses the overlooked and the broken to showcase His power, the sermon invites the audience to surrender their pain to Him, trusting that their present "Friday" is merely the setup for a future "Sunday" of glory.

Spiritual growth is not about becoming impressive or achieving immediate perfection. It is the lifelong work of God as He transforms believers into the likeness of Christ through His Word, His Spirit, and His grace. Dave Jenkins explains what it means to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ, how God uses the ordinary means of grace, and why Christians should not lose heart when progress feels slow. The God who saves His people is faithful to sanctify them and complete the work He has begun.

The sermon examines the opening verses of Jude, focusing on the imperative to earnestly contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. It highlights the historical context of early heresies that diluted the doctrine of grace and distorted the person of Christ, urging believers to remain vigilant against such distortions. The teaching emphasizes that the Christian canon is a closed, definitive revelation handed down by the apostles, rejecting the notion of ongoing or added revelation found in liberal theology and other groups. Additionally, the message explores the theological significance of benedictions and prologues in New Testament letters, viewing them as acts of invoking God's peace and presence upon others. The tone is instructional and convicting, calling the audience to guard the integrity of Scripture and rely on God's power rather than human adequacy in ministry and personal devotion.

His Washpot From the Washpot to the Fragrance of Christ Message Summary: Refined by His Mercy, Transformed for His Glory, and Sent to Make Jesus Known The message begins with a powerful question from Micah 2:7: "Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?" God's Word is good because God Himself is good and trustworthy. Even when His Word confronts our sin, exposes our misplaced confidence, or corrects our ways, it is working for our benefit and His glory. The question is whether we are willing to trust Him enough to receive what He says and walk in His ways. As we continue through Isaiah's prophetic announcements concerning the nations, Moab becomes a significant illustration of God's sovereignty. Its beginnings are traced back to Lot, and its history reminds us that every nation and every individual exists under God's authority. The Lord calls Moab His washpot, illustrating its subordinate position under His sovereign rule. God can use even those who do not acknowledge Him to accomplish His purposes, including confronting His own people with their need to return to Him. Acts 17 and Romans 9 bring this truth into focus. God has made all humanity from one blood, determined the times and boundaries of the nations, and appointed a day when He will judge the world in righteousness through the risen Lord Jesus Christ. No one can manufacture the righteousness God requires. Our only hope is to entrust ourselves to Jesus, whose righteousness and redeeming sacrifice provide what we could never accomplish for ourselves. Those who have received His mercy ought to be moved with gratitude and a burden to make His salvation known to others. Jeremiah 48:11 introduces th

We will let Scripture clear up the matter. Also Reference: Titus 1:13, Matthew 5:16, Luke 14:34, Colossians 4:6 https://bbfohio.com
