The sermon explores Zephaniah 3:16-17, contrasting the impending judgment of the Day of the Lord with the profound comfort and joy God extends to His people.

The text highlights God's power to save and His delight...

We return once more to this vital chapter. Here we have the doctrine of God's judicial hardening of Israel. Their table becomes a snare. God's blessings become a curse when people refuse to give Him thanks and instead boast in themselves and disobey God's commands.

By drawing parallels between the false witnesses against Stephen and the narrative of Ahab and Naboth in 1 Kings, the text illustrates the recurring pattern of religious leaders silencing God's prophets through deceit and violence. The c...

Please come prayerfully prepared to deal with the truth of God on this matter...

It highlights that the message of the cross, though foolishness to the perishing, is the power of God to those who are saved. The text encourages believers to rely on the power of God rather than human wisdom, citing exa...

In "Jonah: Mad That It Worked," Charles Sebold continues the Sunday evening series through the Minor Prophets with the book of Jonah. Hosea, Joel, Amos, and Obadiah set the stage; Jonah asks what happens when God shows mercy to His people's own destroyer, and His prophet cannot bear it. Keeping a running scorecard, the lesson shows that everything in the book obeys God: the wind, the sea, the paga...

Jesus has answered questions from the chief priests and the Pharisees - Two out of the three groups who controlled all that happen in the temple and on the temple compound. The third group is the Sadducees. They are now up with their best attempt to defame Jesus. They take an Old Testament law about marriage and ask how this will work in Heaven. Join us as we look at the wisdom of Jesus in the ans...

It distinguishes between God as the Creator of all and the Heavenly Father o...
