This message explores the gift of frankincense brought by the Wise Men and how it reveals Jesus as our Great High Priest. Just as certain scents mark special moments, frankincense in Scripture symbolized holiness, prayer, and access to God. It declared that Jesus came not only to rule as King, but to reconcile humanity to God through His priestly role. From the very beginning, His identity and mission were recognized as One who would bring heaven and earth together.Drawing from Hebrews, the sermon highlights Jesus as the High Priest we have always needed—sinless, compassionate, and fully able to sympathize with our weaknesses. Unlike earthly priests, His work was finished once for all, yet His intercession continues even now. Jesus still speaks on our behalf, extends mercy in our need, and opens confident access to the throne of grace. The gift of frankincense ultimately calls us to worship fully, pray boldly, and live with assurance, knowing our High Priest is alive and actively working for us.

In this Christmas message, we explore why the Wise Men brought Jesus gold—the gift reserved for kings. Their offering declared that Jesus wasn't becoming a King; He was born King, worthy of honor, authority, and our very best. Their gift also showed how God perfectly provided for Jesus' mission, just as He promises to supply every need in our lives.This sermon calls us to let Jesus rule our hearts, homes, decisions, and finances. Just as the Wise Men invested in His mission, we're invited to honor Christ through the Christmas Gift Offering and Heart for the House, giving not leftovers but our best to the King of Kings.

This message reflects on Luke 17:11–19 and the story of the ten lepers—ten healed, but only one who returned to give thanks. The passage shows how gratitude turns healing into wholeness and reminds us that true thankfulness begins when we remember what God's mercy has rescued us from. The lepers obeyed Jesus before seeing any results, showing that faith often requires moving first and trusting God with the outcome.The response of the one grateful man reveals the heart of a Thanksgiver: returning to Jesus, rejoicing openly, and giving honor where it's due. While the others kept walking, he received something deeper than physical restoration—he found spiritual renewal. This message invites us to live with that same spirit of gratitude, returning to Jesus daily and letting thankfulness shape how we worship, obey, and bless others.

This message from Pastor Ike Reighard explores The Four Hands of God's Provision through the lens of Psalm 23 and key moments throughout Scripture. Pastor Ike shows how God provides through people, through His own supernatural power, through the work of our hands, and even through the hands of our enemies. Each story—from Joseph in Egypt to Israel in the wilderness—reminds us that God is never limited to one method; He meets our needs in the exact way each season requires.As Piedmont Church enters its Heart for the House season, this sermon encourages believers to trust God's faithfulness in every circumstance. Whether you're in green pastures, deep valleys, seasons of work, or moments of opposition, God is still your Shepherd and Provider. His goodness and mercy follow you, and His provision never fails.

In “Great Witness,” Pastor Marlon shows how our response to stress and adversity can be one of our greatest testimonies for Christ. Drawing from Philippians 4 and examples like Coach Geno Auriemma's lessons on body language, he reminds us that God calls His children to stand strong and reflect His joy even in difficult seasons.He shares four powerful truths to live with peace: worry about nothing, pray about everything, give thanks in all things, and think about the right things. When we keep our focus on Christ, we rise above the stress and become a bright witness to the world.Watch now and be encouraged to live with joy, gratitude, and faith—then like, subscribe, and share to spread the message.

When God wanted to make David a king, He gave him Goliath. When He wanted to raise Joseph to the palace, He gave him prison. This message reminds us that God doesn't give us comfort to grow us—He gives us challenges that prepare us for purpose.Through the story of Acts 1 and the Day 41 principle, we learn that God's ways are higher and His timing is perfect. Even when we can't see what He's doing, He is shaping us for something greater. What feels like breaking is often God's way of building.In this sermon, we discover the Holy Spirit as our Comforter, Counselor, and Champion—the “fourth man in the fire.” He walks with us through every trial, turns pain into purpose, and brings beauty out of the fire. Watch until the end and share this message to encourage someone who needs to be reminded that God is still at work.

There are seasons when life feels like a furnace—when the heat of hardship and the pull of temptation threaten to consume you. But take heart, even Jesus went through the fire. In Matthew 4, we see that the same Spirit who descended on Him at His baptism later led Him into the wilderness—not to punish, but to prepare Him. When Jesus faced the enemy, He didn't fight with emotion; He fought with the Word.If you're walking through a wilderness, know this: the fire isn't meant to burn you—it's meant to build you. The same God who was with Jesus in the wilderness is with you right now. Your “Day 41” is coming—the day when the enemy runs out of power, and God's favor steps in.Watch now and be reminded: when the Word wins, the Devil always flees.

Have you ever felt like you're stuck in a season that just won't end, like you're living through your own "Day 40?" In this message, Dr Ike. Reighard shares how God uses seasons of testing and waiting to prepare us for breakthrough. From Noah to Moses to David, the Bible shows that after every trial comes transformation, and when Day 41 arrives, the rain stops, giants fall, and purpose is revealed.Don't give up when you're in the middle of the struggle, God is already working on your Day 41. Watch this message and be reminded that your waiting isn't wasted, and your breakthrough is on the way.

In this message, Dr. Ike Reighard shares how God uses trials to refine His people. From Malachi 3:2-3 and Zechariah 13:9, we see that fire in Scripture can destroy, but for believers it develops. Just as a silversmith purifies gold until he sees his reflection, God refines us until Christ is seen in us. The fire is not punishment, it is proof that you belong to Him.At Piedmont Church, we are reminded that God never abandons us in the furnace. He uses the fire to purify our character, prepare us for our calling, and confirm our relationship with Him. What feels like breaking is really God's making, and when you come through the fire, you will reflect His glory more than ever before.Watch now and see how the fire you're walking through is evidence of God's presence, not His absence.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stood before the most powerful king of their time, facing a fiery furnace. Their words, "But even if He does not..," show us that real faith isn't based on outcomes but on trust in God's sovereignty. True faith believes God is able, surrenders to His plan even when it hurts, and worships Him simply for who He is.Like them, our greatest witness often comes in the fire, not around it. Trials can become testimonies when we refuse to bow to fear and trust that God's presence is with us in the heat.Are you ready to live with an "even if" faith that stands no matter what?

Trials can feel like blazing furnaces, overwhelming, terrifying, and inescapable. Yet in Daniel 3, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego show us that God's presence is greater than any flame. Through unwavering conviction, surrender to God's control, companionship in the crisis, and emerging unscathed, they demonstrate faith that doesn't bow to pressure, compromise, or fear.In this message, Dr. Ike Reighard explores "Faith in the Furnace." He shows how God transforms trials into testimony, frees us from what binds us, and allows us to walk through life's fires with courage and hope. Like the Hebrew boys, we may enter trials bound, but God's presence can lead us out free, refined, and victorious.The darkness around you is real, but it doesn't have to enter you.
