This sermon examines the unique identity of Jesus Christ by exploring His fulfillment of the three distinct offices of prophet, priest, and king. It begins by establishing Jesus as the ultimate prophet who perfectly reveals God's truth and will, surpassing all previous messengers. The message then shifts to His role as the great High Priest, emphasizing that His once-for-all sacrifice on the cross has permanently bridged the gap between humanity and God, allowing believers to approach the throne of grace with boldness. Finally, it presents Jesus as the sovereign King who holds all authority in heaven and on earth, offering believers the victory over death and sin. The sermon concludes by urging the congregation to fully submit to Christ in all three capacities, recognizing that He alone is sufficient for salvation, guidance, and eternal life.

Christians are a people who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ. We have received "the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints." This is the good news of what God has done for us in Christ, and it calls us to submit ourselves to Jesus as our Master and Lord. In Christ we are saved from the wrath of God against sin and brought into his limitless mercy, peace and love. Praise God! But Jude reminds believers that we cannot simply take the faith for granted. We are called to "contend for the faith." It is altogether too easy for the truth of the gospel to become distorted by ungodly influences—even within a church of professing believers. What does such distortion look like? Jude gives us several examples: denying the certainty of God's judgment, treating God's grace as permission to pursue sinful desires, and claiming Christ as Lord while refusing to submit to his authority. Such a rejection of the truth produces people who are grumblers and malcontents, driven by sinful desires, loud-mouthed boasters, and those who show favouritism for their own advantage. Rather than falling prey to such distortions, Jude calls us to contend for the faith entrusted to us. Let us hold firmly to the truth of the gospel, submit ourselves to Christ our Master and Lord, and rejoice in the common salvation we share in him.

Ephesians 6:10–13 is significant because it reveals that the Christian life involves a spiritual battle that is far greater than merely the visible struggles, conflicts, and temptations we experience. Paul calls believers to be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, emphasizing that victory does not come from human strength but from God. The believer's true struggle is against spiritual forces of evil, making the battle ultimately about remaining faithful to Christ and resisting Satan's schemes. In the context of "It's Much Bigger Than You Think," this passage broadens our perspective: what appears to be an ordinary earthly conflict may have a deeper spiritual dimension, and therefore Christians must put on the full armor of God and stand firm. The emphasis is not on fear, but on dependence upon God, spiritual readiness, perseverance, and confidence that God equips His people to withstand evil.

This sermon examines the warnings in 2 Timothy 2:14-15 regarding the dangers of unprofitable word wrangling and the necessity of diligent study of Scripture. The teaching highlights that engaging in contentious debates over words leads to the spiritual ruin of hearers, likening the damage to a plow turning over settled soil. In contrast, believers are called to be diligent workmen who accurately handle the word of truth, seeking to be approved by God through examination and conformity to Christ. This diligence is not a fleshly effort but a response to the new life given by the Holy Spirit, who motivates believers to grow in their understanding and relationship with Jesus. The message concludes with a call to focus on the Word as the source of truth and the means by which believers are tested and found genuine.

Meet Kevin Schwartz Faith Debate: Sunday, September 20th, 2026 (09/27/26 on 930 WFMD in Frederick, Maryland) For 5 straight shows The Faith Debate asked if AI's bringing the End Times? That makes for a total of 7 shows in '26 examining eschatological alarm about technology, wondering if it's from faithful Bible reading or an overreaction. This week shifts gears, but first here's some more about "Artificial Intelligence". Some point to The Book of Revelation's image of the beast, with economic control & widespread surveillance, as a framework thru which to interpret AI's trajectory. Others invoke Daniel ("many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase") as prophetic foreshadowing of the tech explosion. The panel distinguished between legitimate eschatological vigilance and date-setting sensationalism (the church has an embarrassing history of the latter). Postmillenial & Amillennial views frame the answers differently from Dispensational & Premillennial views. Those certain that AI is the mark-of-the-beast are undiscerning, but so too could be those saying AI is just a neutral tool. This episode is part 1 of a 4-part conversation on the subject of spiritual visions/apparitions.

This sermon explores Proverbs 30, identifying it as a prophetic text that points to the Antichrist and the tribulation period while emphasizing the necessity of humility before God. The speaker highlights Agur's confession of ignorance as a model for believers who must recognize their spiritual limitations and rely on the Holy Spirit for understanding rather than human intellect. A central theme is the purity of God's Word, urging the congregation to stand on Scripture rather than feelings or false teachings, particularly regarding salvation and the nature of Christ's descent. The message concludes with a call to walk in the light currently possessed, seeking truth over vanity and lies, and trusting in God's promises for spiritual growth and future hope.

This sermon explores the narrative in Acts 16 where Paul and Silas, despite suffering unjust imprisonment and beatings, demonstrate unwavering faith through prayer and praise. The central theme highlights God's sovereignty in defeating false powers and delivering salvation to the Roman jailer and his household, illustrating that true rest is found only in the grace of Christ. The preacher connects this biblical account to the broader theological truth that God is a destroyer of false gods, offering believers a secure resting place in their faith. The message concludes with an invitation to the Lord's Supper, emphasizing that this sacrament serves as a means of grace that fortifies the weak and weary, confirming God's covenant promises and anticipating the final consummation of all things.

When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence. For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. (Isaiah 64:3-4) ~~~~~ This sermon was preached at Lamberhurst Strict Baptist Chapel on Lord's Day afternoon. ~~~~~ *1/ A lesson from scripture history. 2/ The truth of the gospel experienced in a way not anticipated by knowing the letter of the word. 3/ To whom the way and the end is prepared by God - "him that waiteth for him"* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon explores the distinction between intellectual knowledge of Christian doctrine and the lived experience of God's truth, using the text of Isaiah 64 to highlight how God often acts in ways that exceed human anticipation. It examines scriptural history, from Noah to the Exodus, to demonstrate that God's interventions are frequently sudden and surprising, requiring believers to trust in His sovereignty rather than their own understanding. The message emphasizes that true faith is forged through personal trials and the daily battle against sin, where grace is proven sufficient in weakness. By reflecting on these experiences, believers are encouraged to recognize the unique work of God in their lives, which marks them as His people. The sermon concludes by pointing to the ultimate hope of heaven, which is also a mystery prepared by God for those who patiently wait upon Him.

The Budding of Life Message Summary | 1 Corinthians 15:19–28 | Numbers 17 Central Truth: The resurrection of Jesus Christ confirms that He is God's promised Redeemer, guarantees His victory over death, and gives everyone who belongs to Him a living hope that transforms life today and secures eternal life with Him. This Resurrection Sunday message celebrates the victory of Jesus Christ and explains five essential truths about His resurrection. 1. Its Prediction — God promised it. Long before Jesus came, the Scriptures foretold His suffering, sacrificial death, resurrection, and exaltation. Isaiah 53 reveals that Jesus was wounded for our transgressions and bore the judgment our sins deserved. Although He was cut off from the land of the living, He would live to see the results of His sacrifice. Numbers 17 provides a beautiful illustration. God caused Aaron's lifeless staff to produce buds, blossoms, and ripe almonds, confirming His chosen priest. Likewise, Jesus, God's chosen Redeemer and our eternal High Priest, was raised from the dead. The budding staff reminds us that only God can give life. 2. Its Proof — God vindicated His Son. Jesus predicted His own death and resurrection, and the risen Lord appeared to numerous witnesses, including more than five hundred at one time. His resurrection confirms His identity, the truth of His Word, and the sufficiency of His saving work. It points us back to the cross, where Jesus willingly gave Himself as our substitute. 3. Its Purpose — Jesus reigns until every enemy is defeated. First Corinthians 15 declares that Jesus is the firstfruits of the resurrection. Those who belong to Him will be raised at His coming. The ris
