Lehman Ave Church of Christ

August 24, 2025 - Sunday AM Sermon   This episode is a heartfelt sermon and marriage seminar message delivered at Cumberland Trace, led by a speaker, John Moore. The episode celebrates the church's dedication to helping families and explores what it takes to move from the marriage altar to decades of faithful, joyful marriage. Topics covered include practical marriage guidance framed as “rules of the road” from Colossians 3, common detours and hazards couples face, and the need for regular “engine repair” and communication to resolve conflict. The speaker encourages couples to keep “fuel in the tank” by practicing biblical love, referencing Colossians 3, 1 Corinthians 13, 1 Thessalonians, Romans, 1 John 4, and 2 Corinthians 5 as foundational texts. The episode contrasts worldly notions of love with the Bible's teaching that love is more than feeling — it is action and a command. The speaker discusses the five love languages as a helpful tool, explains four Greek concepts of love (eros, storge, phileo, agape), and emphasizes the difference between friendship-based phileo love and sacrificial, decision-based agape love. Listeners hear real-life examples and practical counsel about forgiveness, loving the unlovable, returning good for evil, and creating shared experiences to rebuild trust and phileo love over time. Key takeaways include: love binds everything together in harmony; love must be learned, exercised, and commanded; true love is giving and sacrificial as demonstrated in the gospel — God's love for the unlovable shown on the cross; and that Christian marriage and church life are transformed when we choose to love like God. The speaker offers an invitation to reconciliation, baptism, and community support, urging listeners to take concrete steps toward healing and stronger relationships.   Duration 38:15

August 24, 2025 - Sunday AM Bible Class   This weekend we have been very blessed to have John and Carla Moore providing a marriage seminar for our community. John continues some of the lesson today in our adult bible class. In this episode, the speaker opens with a heartfelt prayer and explores the story of Joseph from Genesis to draw lessons about marriage, family, pain, and forgiveness. Using Joseph's life—his favoritism by his father, the jealousy and cruelty of his brothers, his betrayal and sale into slavery, false accusation, imprisonment, and eventual rise to power—the speaker examines how unresolved bitterness can linger and how God's providence can transform suffering into good. The episode covers: the dynamics of a dysfunctional family, parental favoritism, sibling rivalry, emotional wounds from youth, human temptation toward vengeance, and the complexities of forgiveness. The speaker highlights three key factors that made Joseph's forgiveness possible: 1) refusing to take God's place in judgment, 2) trusting that God can redeem evil and bring about a greater good, and 3) repaying evil with kindness—serving and providing for those who wronged him. Illustrative examples include Joseph's interactions with his brothers (treating them as strangers, testing them, and finally revealing himself), Judah's growth into responsibility, and a modern testimony of Adam Brasile, a man who was wrongfully imprisoned for 12 years and later found faith and gratitude through his suffering. The speaker connects these narratives to New Testament principles—Jesus' sacrificial love, Paul's teaching in Romans, and the call to love enemies—and encourages listeners to trust God, do good, and replace bitterness with service. This episode is for anyone struggling with family pain, bitterness, or forgiveness. Listeners can expect biblical teaching, pastoral encouragement, practical steps for letting go of resentment, and a reminder of God's long-term, redemptive purposes. The message concludes with a call to follow Joseph's example: surrender hurt to God, fill the void with good works, and believe that God can bring blessing out of brokenness.     Duration 43:01

August 17, 2025 - Sunday AM Bible Class   This episode explores the vital role of Bible classes in church growth, and the responsibilities Christians have to teach. The speaker emphasizes that teaching is both a gift and a skill that develops over time through study, practice, and prayer. Topics include common excuses (fear, lack of knowledge, time, comparison), practical solutions (study habits, team teaching, rotation, and thinking outside the box), and examples from scripture such as Hebrews 5, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy 2:2, and Nehemiah to show how teaching is entrusted and multiplied. The talk encourages listeners to start where they are, use their abilities, rely on God's Word, and partner with church leaders to cultivate teachers who make the Bible accessible and relevant for all ages.   Duration 45:58

July 23, 2025 - Wednesday PM Bible Class   In this episode we study the life and reign of King Uzziah (also called Azariah), who ruled Judah for 52 years. He began as a godly young king who sought the Lord, prospered in warfare and building projects, and brought peace and prosperity to the nation. Under the guidance of the prophet Zechariah he grew strong, established a powerful army, and improved agriculture and defenses. However, the lesson centers on how Uzziah's pride led to a single moment of grievous disobedience: he entered the temple and attempted to burn incense, a duty reserved for the priests. Confronted by Azariah and eighty priests, Uzziah grew angry and was instantly struck with leprosy — a public, humiliating, and permanent punishment that ended his active reign and forced him into isolation until his death. The episode draws out themes for today: the dangers of prosperity, the destructive power of pride, the importance of humility and prayer, and the biblical truth that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Key verses and biblical examples illustrate how quickly success can lead to spiritual ruin if God is forgotten. Duration 39:24
