In Part 3 of "Calling Out Carnality," Keith Voyles continues examining how the flesh influences a Christian's thinking, decisions, attitudes, and conduct.

In Part 4 of "Calling Out Carnality," Keith Voyles preaches from James 2:1–13 about how favoritism and respect of persons reveal carnality in a believer's life.

In Part 7 of "Calling Out Carnality," Keith Voyles continues in James 3, showing that the tongue reveals the condition of the heart.

In Part 9 of "Calling Out Carnality," Keith Voyles preaches from James 5 about fraudulent treasures. He warns against allowing money, possessions, and personal gain to define a person's life.

1 John 5:13-16 — Confidence in prayer is real. But confidence is not control. There is a sin that will cost a believer his life, not his soul. This expository preaching message walks verse by verse through 1 John 5:13-16, moving from the believer's confidence in prayer into John's hardest statement in the letter: "There is a sin unto death." This sermon works through what that sin is not — it is n...

Psalm 64:1-7 (KJV) To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. 2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: 3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: 4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they...

Proverbs 18 teaches that wisdom is revealed through how we listen, speak, respond, and relate to others. Our words are never insignificant. They flow from the heart and carry the power to strengthen relationships, spread destruction, communicate wisdom, or expose foolishness. In this episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, Dave Jenkins explains why the wise listen before answering, why carel...

Christ's insuperable power is His unmatched, unstoppable strength and Divine authority over sin, death, all of nature both in the spiritual and physical realms in the entire universe.

Confess and Forgive, don't Profess and Relive

True Christian Fellowship is vital to church life, and when it is active and healthy in putting into practice the many "one another" commands, the people in the congregation grow spiritually and praise is given to God. When the many things that substitute for it dominate so that the one another commands are not being followed, the church is hindered in growth and quickly degenerate into gossip.

The sermon identifies modern idols as sources of false comfort, identity, and control that replace reliance on God. Using the example of King David in 2 Samuel 11, it illustrates how spiritual laziness and idleness create vulnerability to lust and curiosity. The preacher warns against the dangers of doom scrolling and gossip, which dull discernment and lead to sin. By contrasting the lukewarm Laod...

Confess and Forgive, don't Profess and Relive

Jesus said that on the day of judgment we will give account for every careless word we speak, and James adds a verdict of his own: no human being can tame the tongue. In this teaching from James 3:1-12, we trace our words back to their source in the heart, discover why cursing a person made in God's likeness is an assault on God Himself, and learn how gossip recruits two sinners at a time, the mou...

In a world drowning in information and drama, Pastor Paul Chapman reveals a profound biblical prescription for maintaining our sanity and spiritual peace. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 4:11, we're challenged to embrace a countercultural ambition: to study to be quiet.
