WHAT MEAN YE BY THESE STONES. Joshua 4:1-24 KJVAfter God miraculously brought Israel across the Jordan River on dry ground, He commanded Joshua to take twelve stones from the river and establish a memorial. Those stones were more than rocks—they were a testimony. When future generations asked, "What mean ye by these stones?", God's people were to tell them what the Lord had done. In this opening l...

1 Thessalonians 4:13–14 speaks to one of the deepest pains we experience as human beings—the loss of someone we love. Paul does not tell believers that we should never grieve; rather, he reminds us that our grief is not supposed to be without hope. There are moments when death leaves an empty chair, a silent room, and memories that bring tears to our eyes. But for those who have placed their faith...

This sermon concludes a series on worship by examining the Lord's Supper through the lens of 1 Corinthians 11, arguing that the primary issue in the Corinthian church was a failure to recognize the objective reality of God's presence at the table. The speaker contends that the meal is not merely a subjective act of remembrance or self-examination, but a covenantal sign instituted by Christ to seal...

Pointing to Christ's sinless life, substitutionary death, and bodily resurrection, she urges listeners to repent, trust in Christ, and te...

In Romans 1:17, Paul explains that the gospel reveals the righteousness of God, received by faith in Jesus Christ. Dave Jenkins examines justification by faith alone, Christ's imputed righteousness, and the Old Testament foundation of Paul's teaching. This sermon shows why Christian assurance rests on Christ's perfect righteousness and how believers continue living by faith through suffering, temp...

The early creeds helped the church clarify biblical truth, defend against false teaching, and preserve sound doctrine. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains how these statements connect believers to the historic Christian faith while remaining subject to Scripture. Drawing on Jude 3 and 2 Timothy 1:13–14, this episode encourages Christians to guard sound doctrine an...

The sermon expounds on Ephesians 1:6-7 to demonstrate that human acceptance before God is solely the work of the Triune God, not human effort. It outlines the distinct roles of the Father, who chose believers in eternity; the Son, who accomplished redemption through perfect obedience and atonement; and the Holy Spirit, who applies this salvation through regeneration and the gift of faith. The mess...

The study examines the conflict between Old Covenant legalism and New Covenant grace, highlighting Paul's concern for the Galatian believers who were being drawn back into religious regulations. It argues that while the Law served to reveal sin, it cannot produce salvation or spiritual maturity, whereas the Gospel offers freedom through faith in Jesus Christ. The central theological theme is that...

Jesus said, look for Him in the OT

Listen-in to today's This Day In The Word radio teaching broadcast, "Obedience to What?" and let's see what God's Word has to say.

Ephesians 4 calls Christians to maintain the unity of the Spirit with humility, patience, and love. Dave Jenkins explains why that unity rests on the truth of the gospel, how to distinguish essential doctrines from secondary disagreements and matters of Christian liberty, and how to pursue peace without compromising Scripture. Because believers are united in Christ, they can stand firm in truth wh...

It explores the theological depth of the incarnation, explaining how the Word became flesh to live a perfect life and die in the place of sinners to satisfy divine justice. The text highlights the voluntary and free nature...

She explains why passages about thoughts, temptation, and spiritual warfare should be read in context rather than used to establish an unnamed demon.
