The sermon addresses the claim that God commands abortion by examining the Law of Jealousies in Numbers 5.

The analysis highlights that the woman is not stated to be pregnant, and the outcome depends on divine judgment rather than a con...

The Bible's first words are not an argument for God but an announcement: "In the beginning, God." In this opening lesson of our new Foundations series, Pastor John Samson shows why Scripture can speak that way, tracing a line from Genesis 1 through Psalm 14 to Romans 1, where Paul says God has made Himself plain to every person. If that is true, the real issue is not a shortage of evidence but wha...

This instructional Kids message defines faith and repentance as saving graces that involve resting in Christ alone and turning from sin to God.

The core message em...

The sermon explores Paul's teaching in 1 Corinthians 7 regarding the tension between earthly responsibilities and undivided devotion to Christ.

This study explores the method of interpreting biblical prophecy by examining the connection between Daniel 11 and Jesus' Olivet Discourse. It emphasizes that prophecy often operates in layers, with a near historical fulfillment preceding a fuller eschatological meaning, as seen in the actions of Antiochus IV Epiphanes and the subsequent destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. The session clarifies the...

By analyzing the brothers' plea and Joseph's response,...

This exposition explores the divine attribute of mercy, identifying it as a distinct issue of God's inherent goodness that presupposes human sin. The teaching distinguishes between general mercies extended to all creation, special mercies shown to humanity despite their wickedness, and sovereign mercies reserved exclusively for the elect through the mediator. It emphasizes that while temporal bles...

The Cost of Grace Jesus did not redeem us so we could keep our old lives—His grace rescues us, owns us, establishes us, and teaches us to live under His rule. The message centers on the truth that the gospel does not merely add Jesus to our lives—it brings us under His light, His rule, and His grace. Drawing from Balaam's prophecy in Numbers 24, Jesus is presented as both the Star who gives light...

In the good process of sharpened shepherding, it's right and necessary for shepherds to seek to encourage and sharpen the sheep under their care. It's right and necessary for shepherds to seek to shepherd fellow shepherds.

Question 7: Why Did God Create the World? The Answer: God created everything by His Word, not because He was lonely, but out of the free overflow of divine love, so that all creation would enjoy His glory. God didn't create the world because He was lonely, incomplete, or in need of anything. From all eternity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have existed in perfect love and fellowship. Instead, God c...

WALKING IN REVIVAL The message centers on what it means to walk in revival every day, emphasizing that Jesus does more than save sinners from judgment—He reaches us in our sin, removes us from the throne of our own lives, teaches us His ways, and sends us back into the world as glad-hearted reconcilers. Spiritual growth often comes through "victory by degrees," as God patiently reveals what needs...

The sermon centers on the exhortation in Romans 12:1-2 to present one's body as a living sacrifice that is holy and acceptable to God. It emphasizes that this call is grounded in the immense mercy of God, who has redeemed believers through the work of Christ, making such surrender a reasonable response rather than a burden. The message distinguishes between the sinful nature of the flesh and the r...

This study finishes 2 Timothy chapter 1 with verses 15–18 and presses one question: when faithful ministry gets hard, will you stay or will you leave? It opens with the poem "The Fellowship of the Unashamed," attributed to a young pastor facing execution, and compares it to Paul's final letter. Both show courage, faithfulness and humility, with David and Goliath as an example. Paul writes from pri...

By citing the actions o...
