Grace works, so should we. Christ pours out His Spirit so that we would be saved and live holy, consecrated and thankful lives.

Pastor Rockhill opens the first four verses of Acts 13, where the gospel's advance from Jerusalem reaches the thriving church at Antioch. His central burden is to show how God calls, confirms, and sends laborers into His harvest, and how this pattern establishes the ordered, accountable life of Christ's church. Pastor Rockhill walks through the leaders gathered at Antioch—Barnabas, Simeon, Lucius,...

This sermon explores the foundational question of why a person is called a Christian, grounding the answer in three distinct marks of genuine faith found in 1 John. The first mark is theological discernment, where believers recognize the truth of Jesus Christ as the Anointed One and reject the spirit of Antichrist that denies His deity and humanity. The second mark is spiritual consecration, defin...

This is week 6 in our series on the Apostles Creed where we study the line "[I believe in] the Holy Catholic Church."

The revival continues: conviction leads to confession. Commitments and covenants are made, and consecration follows.

Using the taking of the Nazarite vow to make a comparison to the seriousness that is lacking in our day. Where is the commitment? Where is the consecration? How seriously are you taking your Christian life? Do you want to know more, do more, be more for Christ? Or are you content to dwell in with the average?

Sunday Morning, Zechariah 2:5-13 A quick search of the Bible for verses that echo the invitation of the third night vision (Zech. 2:6-7), the call to come out from that place of exile and separation from the place of God's dwelling, turns up an extensive list. By my own count, and it is by no means exhaustive, the verses number in the scores. This is because the central theme of Divine mercy is th...

That doctrine which maintains a change of the substance of bread and wine, into the substance of Christ's body and blood (commonly called transubstantiation) by consecration of a priest, or by any other way, is repugnant, not to Scripture alone, but even to common sense and reason; overthroweth the nature of the sacrament; and hath been, and is the cause of manifold superstitions, yea, of gross id...

What is it that you have been saying to you? Here we see that, in the face of life's troubles, David intentionally fixed his thoughts upon the Lord, he instructs his heart in the night, as he speaks things he knows to be true even if he doesn't feel them in the moment. For true rest in the midst of life's painful circumstances is only found in the God who hears us and keeps us.

This sermon examines the Third Commandment, urging believers to cease misusing God's name and instead hallow it as a sacred reflection of His character.

It explores how God's various names reveal His eternal being a...

This sermon examines the narrative in 1 Samuel 7, where Samuel erects a stone named Ebenezer to memorialize God's help against the Philistines.

The preacher emphasizes...

This sermon examines the death of Nadab and Abihu in Leviticus 10 to illustrate the critical importance of internal sanctification over external religious observance. The central argument posits that while the priests had fulfilled all outward requirements of their consecration, their hearts lacked the proper reverence for God, resulting in divine judgment. By drawing parallels to New Testament ac...

VaultAI Summary: This sermon explores the call for believers to be wholly consecrated to the fear of the Lord, examining how this devotion manifests in the mind, heart, eyes, and feet.

The text emphasizes that the glory of th...
