Scripture Reading : Revelation 14; Isaiah 66 Text: Revelation 14:11

Daniel 1:1–13, 18–21 Daniel's experience in Babylon demonstrates the importance of establishing godly convictions before facing the pressure to compromise. Taken captive from Judah and placed in the service of a foreign king, Daniel encountered a culture that threatened to reshape his identity and allegiance. Yet Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself. His decision illustrates that faithfulness begins with an inward commitment to obey God. When confronted with a difficult situation, Daniel responded with wisdom and respect while remaining steadfast in his convictions. The account continues with a test that demonstrated Daniel and his companions' faithfulness and God's favor upon them. When they appeared before the king, they were found superior in wisdom and understanding. This passage challenges believers to consider whether their professed faith governs their choices when obedience becomes difficult. Daniel's example reminds us that convictions should be established before the moment of testing arrives. Central Truth: A faith that governs our lives must be more than a profession; it must direct our decisions when circumstances pressure us to compromise. Practical Application: Determine in your heart to obey God before facing temptation. Stand firm in biblical convictions, exercise wisdom in your responses, and trust God with the outcome.

"The Saving Power of Divine Love" - Sermon by Pastor Paul Frey - John 3:1-17

The sermon explores the theological principle of persistent prayer found in Matthew 7, arguing that 'ask, seek, and knock' is not a blank check for material desires but a call to consistent, humble faith. By contrasting the value of holy things with the rejection of pigs and dogs, the message emphasizes the need for believers to wisely invest their time and resources in those who are receptive to God's truth. The speaker uses the example of Paul's thorn in the flesh to illustrate that God's 'no' often serves a greater purpose, such as revealing His sufficiency in weakness. Ultimately, the central theme is that true faith is demonstrated through enduring persistence rather than momentary passion, trusting that the Heavenly Father cares for His children and provides what is best for their spiritual growth.

Expositional Preaching of God's Word

The sermon centers on the charge given to Timothy in 1 Timothy 6 to guard the truth of the gospel and avoid vain babblings and false science. The speaker argues that modern society often places undue trust in experts and political authorities, creating a form of scientism that elevates man above God. In contrast, the Bible is presented as the source of true, accurate knowledge regarding creation, salvation, and eternal life. The message emphasizes that Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father, rejecting the idea that technology or human achievement can provide salvation or immortality. Listeners are urged to exercise discernment, comparing contemporary claims with the Word of God and placing their ultimate faith in the Lord rather than in worldly powers.

This sermon expounds on Ephesians 4:25-32, arguing that believers, as new creations in Christ, must align their actions, speech, and thoughts with their renewed identity. The central message emphasizes that God is concerned not merely with external behavior but with the heart, which dictates both words and attitudes. The text highlights the duty to speak truth and edify others, avoiding falsehood, gossip, and malicious speech, while also addressing the need to manage anger and replace sinful thoughts with those that please God. Drawing on the Westminster Larger Catechism, the exposition provides specific applications for the Ninth Commandment, urging listeners to pursue integrity, kindness, and spiritual growth through the power of the Holy Spirit.
