Believers need a mediator so they will not be afraid of God but fear Him rightly.As the Ten Commandments conclude, the people still stand at the foot of the mountain amid thunder, lightning, the sound of the trumpet, and thick smoke. Terrified by the holiness of God, they beg Moses to speak to them instead of God Himself lest they die. Moses responds with a striking word: “Do not be afraid, but fear.”The distinction is crucial. Terror that drives us away from God is not the same as the holy fear that draws us near in obedience. The people needed a mediator, and Moses stood between them and the consuming fire. That need is fully met in Christ, the greater Mediator. Through Him we need not be afraid of condemnation, yet we rightly fear the Lord so that we may not sin and may walk in grateful obedience.Preached by Rodney Brown Jr. at Rhome Bible ChurchWebsite: https://www.rhomebible.org#Exodus #BibleTeaching #RhomeBibleChurch #Sermon #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalPreaching #GodsSovereignty #OldTestament #Faith #ImpartingTheWord #Reformed #ExpositionalPreaching #ExpositionalTeaching #TenCommandments #Mediator #FearOfTheLord

The film ended and the room went silent. Then it roared. Over the next three years, hundreds of donors gave more than $300,000 to build one young woman a home of her own.That's what belief looks like when it shows up. Max Kringen and Annie Wood of Tellwell Story Co. have spent years studying how it gets built — and it isn't luck, and it isn't a bigger ask.

Believers use, not abuse the Name of the Lord.The third commandment is often reduced to avoiding certain swear words or casual exclamations. Scripture goes much deeper. To take the name of the Lord in vain is to misuse it—to lift it up for no good purpose.God's name is not merely a label; it is the embodiment of His character and essence. Therefore believers are called to handle it with reverence in speech, in worship, in oaths, and in the way they represent Him before others. The positive side of the command is clear: use the name of the Lord rightly. Honor it. Speak it carefully. Live in such a way that the Name is not shamed but glorified.Preached by Rodney Brown Jr. at Rhome Bible ChurchWebsite: https://www.rhomebible.org#Exodus #BibleTeaching #RhomeBibleChurch #Sermon #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalPreaching #GodsSovereignty #OldTestament #Faith #ImpartingTheWord #Reformed #ExpositionalPreaching #ExpositionalTeaching #TenCommandments #ThirdCommandment #NameOfTheLord

Believers honor the Lord by honoring their parents in word and deed.The fifth commandment marks a clear pivot in the Decalogue. The first four commandments focus on loving and honoring God; commandments five through ten focus on loving and honoring our neighbor. And the closest neighbors we have are our parents.Honor is not passive respect or mere compliance. It is active—assigning weight and value to our parents in both word and deed, regardless of whether they fully “deserve” it. This command flows from our love for God Himself. Just as we honor our heavenly Father who has given us life, so we actively honor the earthly parents through whom He gave us life. Obedience here is an overflow of a heart that first belongs to the Lord.Preached by Rodney Brown Jr. at Rhome Bible ChurchWebsite: https://www.rhomebible.org#Exodus #BibleTeaching #RhomeBibleChurch #Sermon #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalPreaching #GodsSovereignty #OldTestament #Faith #ImpartingTheWord #Reformed #ExpositionalPreaching #ExpositionalTeaching #TenCommandments #HonorYourParents #FifthCommandment

The risen King gives His church her marching orders.On a mountain in Galilee the eleven disciples meet the resurrected Jesus. Some worship; some still hesitate. Jesus declares that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him. On the basis of that absolute authority He commissions His people: go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to observe everything He has commanded.This is not a suggestion—it is the church's standing order until the end of the age. The mission is clear, the authority is complete, and the promise is sure: “I am with you always.” Believers are called to obey these marching orders with confidence, knowing the King who sends them also goes with them.Preached by Rodney Brown Jr. at Rhome Bible ChurchWebsite: https://www.rhomebible.org#Matthew #BibleTeaching #RhomeBibleChurch #Sermon #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalPreaching #GodsSovereignty #NewTestament #Faith #ImpartingTheWord #Reformed #ExpositionalPreaching #ExpositionalTeaching #GreatCommission #MarchingOrders #MakeDisciples

Believers steward what God has given them for His glory rather than steal for their own.The eighth commandment is short—“You shall not steal”—yet it rests on a foundational truth: private property is good, and God alone sets the standard for ownership and justice. Stealing is taking what does not belong to you without permission, and Scripture addresses far more than simple theft.The command covers dishonest business practices, false measurements, wage theft, laziness that consumes others' resources, and the failure to steward time, talent, and treasure. For the believer, the positive side of the command is clear: we are stewards, not owners. Everything we have has been entrusted by God. We protect what belongs to others, work diligently, give generously, and manage what God has given for His glory rather than our own.Preached by Rodney Brown Jr. at Rhome Bible ChurchWebsite: https://www.rhomebible.org#Exodus #BibleTeaching #RhomeBibleChurch #Sermon #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalPreaching #GodsSovereignty #OldTestament #Faith #ImpartingTheWord #Reformed #ExpositionalPreaching #ExpositionalTeaching #TenCommandments #DoNotSteal #EighthCommandment #Stewardship

Believers need to appreciate God's provision so they will be content.The tenth commandment is unique. “You shall not covet” addresses the heart rather than an external action. Because coveting cannot be measured or punished by society, this commandment does not function as a curb on public behavior. Instead it serves as a mirror that exposes our inability to meet God's righteous standard and drives us to Christ.For the believer it becomes a window into the character of God. The Lord gives to each according to His sovereign will. Contentment is the positive side of the command: learning to appreciate and rest in what God has provided rather than longing for what He has given to others. True freedom is found not in acquiring more, but in trusting the good and sovereign Provider.Preached by Rodney Brown Jr. at Rhome Bible ChurchWebsite: https://www.rhomebible.org#Exodus #BibleTeaching #RhomeBibleChurch #Sermon #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalPreaching #GodsSovereignty #OldTestament #Faith #ImpartingTheWord #Reformed #ExpositionalPreaching #ExpositionalTeaching #TenCommandments #DoNotCovet #Contentment #TenthCommandment

Believers never create, serve, or worship images of creation or of the Creator.The second commandment forbids the making of any graven image or likeness of anything in heaven, on earth, or under the earth, and forbids the worship or service of such images. This is not merely a prohibition against pagan idols. It is a command given to God's redeemed people.The first commandment tells us who we must worship: God alone. The second commandment tells us how we must worship Him: only in the way He has prescribed. Any attempt to image God—whether through physical representations or according to human imagination—reduces and blasphemes the Creator. Acceptable worship is limited by God's revealed will, not by our feelings or preferences.Preached by Rodney Brown Jr. at Rhome Bible ChurchWebsite: https://www.rhomebible.org#Exodus #BibleTeaching #RhomeBibleChurch #Sermon #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalPreaching #GodsSovereignty #OldTestament #Faith #ImpartingTheWord #Reformed #ExpositionalPreaching #ExpositionalTeaching #TenCommandments #NoIdols #SecondCommandment

Believers are to recognize God's holiness and approach with a committed heart, consecrated with Christ's perfect sacrifice.After calling Israel to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation, the Lord prepares to come down on Mount Sinai in a visible display of His glory. Moses relays the people's commitment to obey, and God gives clear instructions: consecrate yourselves, wash your garments, and set boundaries around the mountain. No one may approach casually.This is a royal visit from the King of the universe. Approach requires reverence, preparation, and a heart that understands the holiness of God. The same truth applies to us today. Through Christ's perfect sacrifice we are brought near, yet we still approach with holy fear and committed hearts, never treating the living God as common.Preached by Rodney Brown Jr. at Rhome Bible ChurchWebsite: https://www.rhomebible.org#Exodus #BibleTeaching #RhomeBibleChurch #Sermon #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalPreaching #GodsSovereignty #OldTestament #Faith #ImpartingTheWord #Reformed #ExpositionalPreaching #ExpositionalTeaching #Holiness #Consecration

Believers have been saved for the purpose of being royal priests.Three months after leaving Egypt, Israel camps at the foot of Mount Sinai. God renews His covenant with them, reminding them that He brought them out of slavery on eagles' wings and brought them to Himself. The call is clear: if they will obey His voice and keep His covenant, they will be His treasured possession—a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.Like Joseph, who was freed from slavery and exalted to serve as a mediator, Israel has been delivered for a purpose. They are to represent the King and mediate His truth to the nations. The same is true for every believer: we have been saved not merely from something, but for something—to live as royal priests who declare the excellencies of the One who called us out of darkness.Preached by Rodney Brown Jr. at Rhome Bible ChurchWebsite: https://www.rhomebible.org#Exodus #BibleTeaching #RhomeBibleChurch #Sermon #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalPreaching #GodsSovereignty #OldTestament #Faith #ImpartingTheWord #Reformed #ExpositionalPreaching #ExpositionalTeaching #KingdomOfPriests #Covenant

Believers take every opportunity to extol God's greatness so that the lost might come to faith… and it starts with family.After the victory over Amalek, Moses is reunited with his father-in-law Jethro. Moses does not merely exchange small talk. He recounts in detail everything the Lord has done—delivering Israel from Egypt, providing for them, and defeating their enemies. Jethro responds with praise and comes to faith, declaring, “Now I know that the Lord is greater than all the gods.”Moses models what it means to “own the room” for God's greatness: building genuine relationships, going deep, and confidently proclaiming the works of the Lord. The message begins at home. If we will not speak clearly of Christ to our own families, we do not yet love them as we should.Preached by Rodney Brown Jr. at Rhome Bible ChurchWebsite: https://www.rhomebible.org#Exodus #BibleTeaching #RhomeBibleChurch #Sermon #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalPreaching #GodsSovereignty #OldTestament #Faith #ImpartingTheWord #Reformed #ExpositionalPreaching #ExpositionalTeaching #Evangelism #Family

Rev. 11  Today we unpack the millennial temple, the two witnesses, the beast, and the seventh trumpet. In times of confusion, God is still sovereign. Believers are called to bear faithful witness, endure opposition, and trust that God will ultimately bring victory and justice. He is our hope. He is our savior and coming king.

Sujo John: Surviving 9/11, Finding Purpose, and Living the Gospel Out LoudIn this week's Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus and Melanie meet with Sujo John, who, on the morning of September 11, 2001, went to work on the 81st floor of Tower 1 of the World Trade Center carrying a question that had been weighing heavily on his heart: What is my purpose?Just months earlier, Sujo and his wife, Mary, had moved from India to begin a new life in America. They were expecting their first child, building successful careers, and seemingly living the American dream. Sujo worked in the North Tower of the World Trade Center, while Mary worked on the 71st floor of the South Tower.Yet despite everything going well, Sujo felt an unmistakable emptiness. He believed God had a greater calling on his life but had no idea what that calling would look like.At 8:05 a.m. on September 11, Sujo sent an email to a friend at church describing his search for meaning and purpose.Less than an hour later, everything changed.American Airlines Flight 11 slammed into the North Tower. Sujo's office filled with smoke, fire, shattered debris, and chaos. As terrified employees searched for a way out, Sujo began the long descent down the stairwell, surrounded by hundreds of people trying to escape—and firefighters and police officers heading in the opposite direction toward the devastation. All the while, Sujo could think of only one person: Mary. He had no way of knowing whether she was alive.After escaping Tower 1, Sujo began making his way toward Tower 2 to find her. Then the unimaginable happened. The South Tower collapsed. Standing near the base of the building, Sujo found himself surrounded by people as the massive structure came crashing down around them. In those terrifying moments, he began praying and felt compelled to tell the people nearby to call on the name of Jesus.Soon, voices around him were crying out, "Jesus!" When the dust settled, Sujo found himself buried in several feet of white soot and broken glass—but alive. Through the darkness and debris, he encountered a man lying face down who had a flashlight. Sujo encouraged him to get up and keep moving. When the man stood, Sujo noticed the letters FBI on his jacket.Together, the two men held hands and walked through the near-zero visibility until they spotted the flashing lights of an ambulance and eventually found their way to safety.But Sujo still didn't know whether Mary had survived. Then his phone rang. It was Mary.In an extraordinary turn of events, her train had arrived at the World Trade Center subway station just minutes after the first plane struck. She had never made it inside Tower 2. Both had survived.Standing together later that day and looking back at the smoking ruins of the buildings where they had worked, Sujo and Mary realized that the promises they had separately made to God during those terrifying hours would define the rest of their lives.They would dedicate themselves completely to Him.From Survival to CallingSeptember 11 became the defining turning point in Sujo John's life.What began that morning as a search for purpose became a calling to share the Gospel around the world. Sujo and Mary devoted their lives to ministry, sharing their testimony in churches throughout America and internationally.Their ministry also developed a deep commitment to helping people who are often overlooked and forgotten, including women and girls rescued from the sex industry in India through the House of Rahab.For Sujo, surviving 9/11 was never simply about being given another day to live. It was about being given another opportunity to live with purpose.And his message to Christians today is challenging:The Gospel was never intended to remain inside church walls.Believers are called to make their faith visible—to serve their communities, invest in the next generation, and become the hands and feet of Jesus to the people around them.In This EpisodeSujo shares the extraordinary story of escaping the World Trade Center on September 11, the desperate search for his wife, the prayers that rose from the rubble, and the miraculous phone call revealing that Mary was alive.He also discusses the deeper story behind that day—his lifelong questions about suffering, his search for purpose, and the calling that emerged from one of the darkest moments in American history.This conversation is ultimately about more than survival. It's about purpose. It's about faith when life stops making sense. And it's about what happens when someone decides that the life they've been given will be spent serving something greater than themselves.Support Sujo:-  IG:  https://www.instagram.com/sujojohnofficial?igsi=MW5ibmVidGJkd3N0Zg==Sujo John - https://sujojohn.com/YouCanFreeUs - https://youcanfreeus.org/ I Am Second Story - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CryxwzBuldcSupport TNQ  - IG: team_neverquit , marcusluttrell , melanieluttrell , huntero13  -  https://www.patreon.com/teamneverquitSponsors:  - Navyfederal.org     - Dripdrop.com/TNQ- vinted.com/TNQ - davidprotein.com/TNQ- quo.com/TNQ  - mengotomars.com [Team Never Quit]  - bubsnaturals.com [Promo code TNQ]  - mizzenandmain.com   [Promo code: TNQ20]   - masterclass.com/TNQ  - ShopMando.com [Promo code: TNQ]  - Tractorsupply.com/hometownheroes  - meetfabiric.com/TNQ  - Prizepicks (TNQ)   - armslist.com/TNQ   -  PXGapparel.com/TNQ  - bruntworkwear.com/TNQ   - shipsticks.com/TNQ   - stopboxusa.com {TNQ}   - Tonal.com [TNQ]  - greenlight.com/TNQ  - drinkAG1.com/TNQ  - Hims.com/TNQ

If believers are glorified when Jesus returns, how can there still be sin in the thousand-year kingdom? In this call, Dr. Brown walks you through Zechariah 14, 1 Corinthians 15, and Matthew 25, and explains why he sees survivors entering the Millennium in mortal bodies while glorified believers reign with Christ. You'll hear why he rejects a past fulfillment of Zechariah 14, how Matthew 25 differs from the great white throne in Revelation 20, and why even a world filled with God's glory can still end in rebellion. The point is not to win a debate about timing, but to live ready for the return of Jesus. Number to call is (704) 498-4680. ~~~FRONTL|NE Newsletter: https://thelineoffire.org/newsletterDonate: https://thelineoffire.org/donate-one-timeX: https://twitter.com/DrMichaelLBrownYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LFTVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmichaelbrownFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ASKDrBrownWebsite: https://thelineoffire.orgRadio Broadcast from The Line of Fire Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What does the gospel of peace have to do with spiritual warfare?In Episode 11 of "The Good Fight," Duane Sheriff teaches on spiritual warfare by focusing on the third piece of armor described in Ephesians 6. Believers are to have their feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. This peace is very different from the counterfeit peace the world offers. It does not mean avoiding conflict, ignoring evil, or compromising truth to keep the peace.The gospel of peace is the good news that God has made peace with us through the blood of Jesus Christ. The enemy wants people to believe that God is angry with them, against them, or unwilling to forgive them. But believers cannot fight an effective spiritual battle while believing God is their enemy. Knowing that God is for us, not against us, gives us confidence to stand against guilt, condemnation, and the enemy's lies.As believers, we are called to carry this message of reconciliation into a world held captive by lies about God. Discover how the gospel of peace becomes both a foundation for standing firm in spiritual warfare and a powerful message that helps bring others out of darkness and back into relationship with God.

Believers refuse to test the Lord by grumbling, knowing He is always with us providing.At Rephidim the people again face a lack of water. Their response escalates from demand (“Give us water”) to accusation (“Why did you bring us out to kill us?”) and finally to open contempt: “Is the Lord among us or not?”Moses rightly identifies their grumbling as testing the Lord—an attempt to manipulate God by claiming they deserve better and that He has failed. Yet even in their unbelief, the Lord remains faithful. He instructs Moses to strike the rock, and water flows for the people. God is present and provides, even when His people put Him on trial.Preached by Rodney Brown Jr. at Rhome Bible ChurchWebsite: https://www.rhomebible.org#Exodus #BibleTeaching #RhomeBibleChurch #Sermon #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalPreaching #GodsSovereignty #OldTestament #Faith #ImpartingTheWord #Reformed #ExpositionalPreaching #ExpositionalTeaching #Grumbling

In this eye-opening teaching, Dr. Edith Davis unpacks the vital difference between simply being valuable to God and actually becoming a useful, skilled vessel for His kingdom. Drawing from personal experiences of unexpected spiritual attack, she explores how believers can mature past emotional reactions and church offenses to walk in true spiritual authority. -- Everyone is valuable in the body of Christ, but true usefulness requires skill, which comes from renewing the mind and aligning our souls with the word of God. -- Believers should expect opposition in three primary arenas: the mind, the church family, and the second heaven, but we must remember that Satan is a thoroughly defeated foe. -- True spiritual warfare is fought using supernatural weapons such as divine love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, meekness, and self-control. -- Maturity means refusing to let hurt feelings, fleshly reactions, or ungodly roots of bitterness dictate our decisions or separate us from where God has planted us. -- Increasing our biblical knowledge and meditating on the word allows us to produce greater faith, move past mere resistance, and effectively cause the enemy to flee.

Welcome to Day 2941 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain and today is Day 2941 – Theology Thursday – Not a Binary Choice: Recovering the Full Picture of the Atonement Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2941 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2941 of our Trek.   The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons are available on his website, theologyinfive.com.  Not a Binary Choice: Recovering the Full Picture of the Atonement. Many believers raised in traditional evangelical settings were taught a single dominant explanation of the cross, usually Penal Substitutionary Atonement. It became the framework through which sin, salvation, prayer, and even God's character were understood. When people later encounter Christus Victor or other historic atonement models, the shift can feel disorienting, like choosing between competing versions of Christianity. But the Bible never asks us to make that choice. It presents the atonement as a multifaceted work that cannot be confined to a single model. The problem was never that PSA existed. The problem was that it became the whole story. The first segment is: The Bible Uses Many Images for a Reason. The New Testament describes the work of Christ through several metaphors. It uses sacrificial language, legal language, military imagery, temple imagery, ransom themes, and the language of liberation and deliverance. Each of these highlights a different aspect of one unified event. The atonement is too large and too complex to be captured by a single metaphor. When one model becomes dominant, the others are pushed to the margins, even though the biblical writers freely used all of them. Christus Victor does not contradict sacrificial or substitutionary language. It restores the cosmic dimension of the cross that was central to the early church. Christ defeats the powers that enslaved humanity, breaks the dominion of death, and disarms the hostile spiritual beings that opposed God's creation. The second segment is: How the Early Church Understood the Cross. For the earliest generations of Christians, the cross was first and foremost a victory. Their world was steeped in the reality of hostile spiritual powers, cosmic rulers, and the rebellion of the nations. When they spoke of the atonement, they spoke primarily of liberation, triumph, and the overthrow of death. This is the framework behind Paul's language about principalities, rulers, and the powers of darkness. It is the worldview behind Hebrews and the imagery of Revelation. Christus Victor was not a novel theory. It was the assumed backdrop of the biblical authors and the earliest church. The later Western emphasis on legal atonement did not replace this view, but it did overshadow it. Recovering it brings believers back into the thought world of the first and second-century church. The Third segment is: Why It Is Not a Binary Choice. Some assume that embracing Christus Victor requires rejecting PSA, or that acknowledging courtroom imagery requires minimizing the victory theme. This creates a false choice. The early church held multiple models without difficulty. They saw each as a window into the same event. They understood that sin is both guilt and bondage, and that the cross addresses both realities. When believers rediscover a neglected dimension of the atonement, they are not abandoning the faith they grew up with. They are recovering the fuller biblical picture. The fourth segment is: Why PSA Became Dominant in the Western Church. The rise of PSA dominance was historical rather than biblical. During the Reformation, the legal metaphors of scripture resonated deeply with a culture shaped by law courts, civic reform, and disputes with medieval abuses. Protestants emphasized the forensic side of the cross because it addressed the controversies of their era. Over time, this legal framework became the default lens for many Western Christians. But its dominance was shaped by history, not theological necessity. Recognizing this frees believers to receive the other biblical images without feeling that they are abandoning their tradition. The sixth segment is: Substitution Still Matters. Shifting emphasis does not mean losing substitution. Christ stands in our place. He gives Himself for His people. In Christus Victor, substitution takes on a different focus. Christ acts on behalf of humanity to defeat the powers we could not defeat and to break a curse we could not break. It is still substitution, but it is framed within liberation rather than divine retribution. The question is not whether substitution is biblical. The question is how the Bible applies it within the larger story of rebellion, bondage, and redemption. The seventh segment is: How This Shift Changes Faith and Prayer. For many believers, the shift begins with a new understanding of God's posture toward them. PSA can subtly create the impression that God accepts believers only after His wrath has been satisfied. Christus Victor reorients that picture. God has always been for His people. The cross is not the moment God becomes loving. It is the moment God defeats the forces that held humanity captive and demonstrates His commitment to restoring His creation. Prayer also takes on a different character. Instead of approaching God as a judge whose anger has been appeased, believers speak with a King who has already won and who invites them to share in His authority. Spiritual conflict becomes clearer. The New Testament's emphasis on hostile powers, principalities, and the dominion of death gains renewed weight. Faith becomes participation in the ongoing victory of Christ rather than a purely legal transaction. The eighth segment is: The Divine Council and the Cosmic Victory of Christ. A fuller understanding of the atonement also illuminates the Divine Council worldview woven through scripture. The cross is the moment when the hostile elohim who rebelled were judged, disarmed, and stripped of their authority over the nations. The rebellion of Genesis 6, the division of the nations in Deuteronomy 32, and the judgment of the gods in Psalm 82 form the backdrop to the work of Christ. Christus Victor situates the cross within this cosmic story and makes sense of the biblical claim that Christ triumphed openly over the rulers of this age. The ninth segment is: Salvation Has Always Been About Loyalty to Yahweh. Understanding the atonement also requires recovering a central biblical truth. From Genesis to Revelation, salvation is about covenant loyalty to Yahweh. Sin matters because it is an act of disloyalty. It aligns humanity with rival powers and hostile elohim who seek to rule the nations. Scripture consistently describes redemption as turning, returning, or giving allegiance to the one true God. The legal dimension of sin explains the guilt that must be forgiven, but guilt is not the center of the story. The deeper issue is misplaced loyalty. Humanity's rebellion in Eden, the cosmic rebellion of the sons of God, and the division of the nations all revolve around people drifting toward other rulers. The cross addresses this at the root. Christ breaks the power of those hostile beings, removes the guilt of disloyalty, and restores people to the God they were created to serve. The tenth segment is: A Biblical Example: David's Loyalty. David provides a clear example of the centrality of loyalty. Scripture never hides his sins. They were serious, and they carried real consequences. Yet he is consistently described as a man after God's own heart. The reason is not moral flawlessness, but unwavering allegiance. David never gave himself to another god. Even in failure, he returned to Yahweh, recognizing that sin was disloyalty rather than mere moral error. Psalm 51 shows that his repentance was a restoration of covenant faithfulness. This distinguishes David from Saul and Solomon, whose compromises involved divided allegiance, not isolated moral lapses. His life demonstrates that loyalty to Yahweh has always been the heart of salvation. The eleventh segment is: How This Deepens Daily Discipleship. A broader view of the atonement changes how believers understand temptation, suffering, and mission. Followers of Christ are not simply forgiven people waiting for heaven. They are participants in the restoration of creation. The powers have been defeated, but not yet removed. Believers live in the...

There is no mystery and no question about the destination for the believer in Christ. This episode explains that we are eternally secure in Him the moment we trust the gospel that Christ died for our sins and rose again. Based on the authority of God's Word, we know we are headed for heaven—God justifies us forever, seals us with the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption, holds us securely in His and Christ's hands, and gives us eternal life as an unbreakable gift that cannot be lost—even through sin or unfaithfulness. Believers are encouraged to rest in God's unchanging promises rather than have feelings of unworthiness or guilt, knowing that nothing in creation can separate us from His love. https://bereanbiblesociety.org/tbg-episode/290-eternal-security-in-christ/ Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/kGsAFbVm9_A Buy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-251-252/?attribute_pa_episode=290-eternal-security-in-christ Buy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-saved-and-secure/

Believers avoid grumbling by trusting and obeying, knowing God sustains them. Only three days after the great Song of the Sea, Israel's joyful worship turns to bitter complaint. Facing thirst in the wilderness and finding only the bitter waters of Marah, the people grumble against Moses and, ultimately, against God. This passage exposes how quickly our hearts can move from praise to panic when circumstances turn hard. The call is clear: do not follow your feelings, instruct your heart through obedience, and rest in the sovereign God who sustains His people. He is the same Lord who just parted the sea—He will not abandon them now.

In Episode 8 of "The Good Fight," Duane Sheriff reveals why truth is the first piece of God's armor and the foundation that connects every other spiritual weapon. The battle believers face ultimately comes down to truth against lies. God works through truth, while Satan's primary weapon is deception. We must believe a lie before we can become ensnared by it.The fight of faith is the daily decision to believe God, trust His Word, and make it our final authority rather than accepting the philosophies and fraudulent narratives of the world. God's Word is truth, and when we continue in His Word, that truth sanctifies us, separates us from darkness, exposes deception, and brings freedom into every area of our lives.Believers are called to become pursuers, lovers, and courageous messengers of truth. Although we cannot confront every lie in our culture, when we focus on the truth and speak it in love, lies are exposed, and strongholds are broken. Satan cannot stand in the truth. Stand firmly on God's Word to withstand every assault of the enemy and fight the good fight of faith.

The sermon exposes the stealthy and pervasive tactics of Satan, who operates as a roaring lion seeking to devour believers through various forms of occult activity and spiritual deception. It emphasizes the necessity of knowing the enemy's strategies to effectively resist his attacks, drawing on biblical warnings against divination and spiritism found in Deuteronomy 18. Through illustrative accounts of demonic influence and personal deliverance, the text highlights the reality of spiritual bondage and the destructive nature of Satan's systems compared to God's life-giving truth. Believers are urged to put on the full armor of God and rely on the authority of Christ to overcome these forces rather than relying on secular or occult remedies. The message concludes with practical guidance for helping others by listening, discerning symptoms, and leading them to submit to God and renounce sin.

The Morning Devotional Season 11 | Edition 79 Psalm 120 Providence Presbyterian Church Evansville, IN Pastor's Website: https://theparchment.net/ This devotional explores Psalm 120, a Song of Ascents that contrasts the pursuit of peace with the reality of spiritual warfare. The speaker highlights how the psalmist cries out to God in distress from deceitful tongues and hostile environments, finding deliverance through divine intervention. This text serves as a profound reflection on the ministry of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, who endured similar scorn and mockery while offering reconciliation to a hostile world. Believers are encouraged to recognize that attacks for the sake of the gospel are ultimately directed at Christ himself, who promises vindication. The message concludes with an exhortation to pray for enemies and trust in God's justice rather than seeking personal revenge.

The Morning Devotional Season 11 | Edition 79 September 2, 2026 Psalm 120 This devotional explores Psalm 120, a Song of Ascents that contrasts the pursuit of peace with the reality of spiritual warfare. The speaker highlights how the psalmist cries out to God in distress from deceitful tongues and hostile environments, finding deliverance through divine intervention. The message connects this ancient text to the ministry of Jesus Christ, who endured similar scorn while offering reconciliation to a world at enmity with God. Believers are encouraged to trust in Jehovah's response during their own trials, recognizing that attacks on Christians are ultimately directed at Christ Himself. The sermon concludes by affirming God's sovereignty and calling believers to pray for enemies rather than seeking personal vengeance.

Believers celebrate, dedicate, and educate on their redemption. In this message from Exodus 13:1-16, God returns His people to the theme of remembrance. Knowing how quickly we forget, He gives Israel three practical “forget-me-nots”: the annual celebration of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the dedication of every firstborn, and the deliberate education of the next generation by fathers. These practices were designed so that the memory of their powerful redemption from slavery would never fade. The same call remains for us. We who have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb must celebrate, dedicate, and educate—so that neither we nor our children forget what God has done.

Believers trust knowing the Lord fights for us. In this first part of the Red Sea narrative from Exodus 13:17–14:14, God leads Israel on a deliberate detour away from the shorter coastal route. He knows their faith is not yet ready for open warfare with the Philistines. Instead, He organizes them in martial array, has them carry Joseph's bones as a reminder of His promises, and positions them at the edge of the sea—where Pharaoh's army will soon appear. What looks like a trap is actually God's careful navigation and glory orchestration. When panic rises, the call remains the same: stand firm and watch the salvation of the Lord. The battle belongs to Him.

Believers trust knowing the Lord fights for us. In this second part of the Red Sea narrative, Israel's confidence collapses as Pharaoh's chariots close in. What began with high-handed boldness turns to sarcasm, fear, and regret. They accuse Moses and long for the slavery they once hated. Moses responds with the central call of the passage: “Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the Lord… The Lord will fight for you while you keep silent.” The battle is not theirs to win by strength or strategy. God alone will be glorified through both judgment on Egypt and the deliverance of His people. This text points us forward to the greater Exodus accomplished at the cross, where the Lord fights for us and secures our salvation.

All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. Let no one seek his own, but each one the other's well-being. (1 Corinthians 10:23-24)   Paul was writing to the Corinthian church, which struggled with issues of liberty, idolatry, and community life. In 1 Corinthians 8, he addressed the question of eating food sacrificed to idols, showing that Christian freedom must be exercised with regard for others' consciences. Believers were using their freedom in Christ as justification for behaviors without considering consequences. Just because we CAN do something does not mean we SHOULD. Personal privilege and liberty must be balanced with considering others.   “Not all things are helpful” (or “expedient”). The Greek word used here means “profitable, beneficial, advantageous.” Freedom must be weighed against whether it produces spiritual or moral good.   This is a key phrase for Christ-followers who are not self-centered: "Let no one seek his own, but each one the other's well-being." We should be about edifying others. The Greek word means “to build up, strengthen, promote growth.”   This should be our aim and culture—not "me," "myself," and "I."

The authority and power of the Name of the Lord are available to all Believers. Believers are called to pray, serve, teach, heal, and make disciples in Jesus' name under His authority and in alignment with His will. It is a declaration of allegiance to Him and dependence on Him. His powerful name inspires and empowers, heals, delivers, brings repentance, infers spiritual authority, and advances God's kingdom.

  # **Episode Description - Ready to publish** **The biggest shift in the Bible is not just salvation - it's access.** Hunter Davis shows how the Old Testament repeatedly warns people away from God, then contrasts that with the astonishing invitation believers have now through Christ: draw near, come boldly, and live with real closeness to God. From Eden to Mount Sinai to the Holy of Holies, Hunter traces the biblical pattern of separation caused by sin. He explains why Adam and Eve were driven from the garden, why even animals could not touch Sinai, why the high priest entered the veil only once a year, and why Uzzah died after reaching for the ark. Each moment builds the same case: God is holy, sin separates, and no one could casually approach Him. You will discover: - Why "access to God" is a different idea from salvation, and why that distinction matters - How the veil, the tabernacle, and the Holy of Holies reveal the seriousness of God's holiness - What changed when Jesus died and the temple veil was torn from top to bottom - Why Hebrews, James, and Mark together show a new reality for believers - How the Holy Spirit, prayer, sanctification, and daily Christian life fit into this new access Hunter also makes the practical case for why this matters now. Believers are not just saved for eternity - they are invited into nearness today. That means prayer, repentance, wisdom, parenting, marriage, and spiritual growth are all meant to happen with a real awareness of God's presence, not as religious routine but as privilege. If you have ever taken your relationship with God for granted, this episode is a needed reset. Essential listening for Christians who want to understand what Christ truly opened for them - and why drawing near is now the whole point.  

The Morning Devotional Season 11 | Edition 77 Psalm 117 Providence Presbyterian Church Evansville, IN Pastor's Website: https://theparchment.net/ This devotional meditation focuses on Psalm 117, the shortest chapter in the Bible, which serves as a global summons for all nations to praise God. The message emphasizes that true worship requires a transformed heart and surrender, not merely verbal acknowledgment. Believers are encouraged to extol the Lord based on two primary reasons: His great steadfast love demonstrated through Jesus Christ and His unwavering faithfulness to His covenant promises. The text contrasts human changeability with God's immutable nature, highlighting that His love is solid and eternal. Ultimately, the sermon calls for joyful, whole-life devotion from those who have experienced God's redemption.

How do legalists respond to the gospel? Job 15 looks forward to the hearing of God's Word, publicly read, in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In these thirty-five verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that we find that legalists respond to the gospel with accusations and arrogance. This devotional contrasts the gospel of grace with the self-righteousness of legalism by analyzing Eliphaz's rebuke of Job in Job 15. Eliphaz holds to a tradition of works-based righteousness that ridicules and accuses Job's gospel hope. While Eliphaz claims Job is unrepentant and condemned, whereas Job's hope is in God Who regenerates, gives faith, forgives, and makes clean. The message warns against adopting legalistic standards that demand better behavior to earn God's favor, which ultimately rejects Christ's sufficiency. Believers are encouraged to cling to Christ and trust in God's grace even when facing accusations from religious traditionalists.

This episode teaches how to break strongholds by renewing the mind, rejecting old patterns, and refusing to give the enemy any access point. Pastors Paul and Matthew emphasize that strongholds are mental fortresses built from lies, ideologies, trauma, and wrong thinking, not demons themselves. Satan's strategy is to blind minds and mute believers, keeping them from speaking God's Word—the very weapon that destroys deception.They explain that freedom comes through truth, discipline, and personal responsibility. Believers must stop blaming external forces and instead use Scripture to renew their minds (Romans 12:2), put off old behaviors (Ephesians 4:22–24), and shut every door that gives Satan a “place” (Ephesians 4:26–27). Bitterness is highlighted as a dangerous “root” that grows into a full stronghold if not cut off by God's Word.The episode ends with encouragement: abiding in Scripture and prayer gives believers the strength to overcome any stronghold and live in Christlike freedom.

A Faithful Plan For False Teachers reveals how to deal with false teachers biblically. Guard your heart with 2 Timothy 2. Faithfulness to God often meets fierce resistance from those who profess Christ while spreading false doctrine. In this expository preaching session from 2 Timothy 2, Pastor Richard Caldwell explains the danger of worldly chatter and ruinous speech. Believers must exercise biblical discernment to avoid the relational and demonic snare of empty arguments. To protect the church, spiritual leaders must accurately handle the word of truth. This requires direct, careful, and unashamed teaching of Scripture rather than engaging in meaningless debates. God provides a firm foundation for His people, offering absolute certainty even when false teachers upset the faith of others. Ultimately, the Lord knows those who are His. True Christians are characterized by a continuous repentance and a deliberate departure from unrighteousness. We can rest in the sovereignty of God as we stand firm in Reformed theology and biblical truth. Key Biblical Takeaways: - Believers must embrace the responsibility to warn others about the destructive nature of deceitful arguments and false doctrine. - Faithful Christians must diligently cut a straight path with Scripture, presenting God's Word accurately and avoiding worldly chatter. - False teaching spreads like a disease and ruins hearers, making strict biblical boundaries essential for the spiritual health of the church. - God's sovereign foundation remains secure, and His true people demonstrate their authentic faith by departing from evil and confessing sin.

A family in Gary, Indiana, spent a winter reporting things in their rented house that a priest, a caseworker, and a police captain all ended up putting on the record without rational explanation.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/AmmonsREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2s3wxytmFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: From mysterious swarms of flies to terrifying levitations and violent attacks, the Ammons Family Haunting it's one of the most terrifying cases of demonic possession in recent history… allegedly. Believers and skeptics are still arguing over its authenticity. (The Demonic Haunting of the Ammons Family) *** In 1764, the peaceful region of Gévaudan, France, was plunged into terror by a series of brutal attacks attributed to a mysterious beast. As the creature's deadly rampage continued, whispers of a werewolf and sensational newspaper reports fueled a nationwide hysteria. Whatever the Beast of Gévaudan was, the true story still haunts the people living there. (The Terror of Gévaudan) *** In 1990, a horrifying mass shooting at the Las Cruces Bowl bowling alley left four people dead and three others wounded, including children. Despite multiple eyewitnesses and extensive investigations, the killers remain at large. (The Las Cruces Bowling Alley Massacre) *** New York City, where ghostly apparitions and haunted landmarks abound. From the infamous Dakota building to the chilling tales of Washington Square Park, New York is one of the most haunted cities in the world. We'll look at just a few ghost locations in the Big Apple. (The Ghosts of New York) *** When William W. Place remarried, he hoped for a loving and stable household. However, his new wife, Martha, quickly showed her true colors, leading to tragic consequences. It's a tale of jealousy, violence, and ends with the first woman executed by electric chair in the U.S. (A Red Path of Jealousy) *** Imagine dancing non-stop for days, weeks, or even months, all for a chance to win food and money during the Great Depression. Dance marathons pushed contestants to their physical and mental limits, turning a simple competition into a shocking spectacle of endurance and desperation.

He explains how studying the Word of God confronted areas of compromise and ultimately led him toward repentance, transformation, and a new calling to teach on biblical sexuality. Throughout the conversation, TS and Mark address the growing cultural conflict surrounding sexuality, identity, truth, and the authority of Scripture. Mark challenges ideas such as defining truth individually and argues that Christians must evaluate cultural messages through the standard of God's Word.Mark also discusses the biblical framework presented in Sacred Sexuality, including his study of 185 Scriptures related to sexuality. The conversation examines God's design for sexual purity, holiness, marriage, singleness, celibacy, and the broader Christian call to live a life surrendered to Christ. The discussion then turns toward one of the most difficult questions facing many Christian families today: How do believers minister to someone they love who is living contrary to their understanding of biblical sexuality?Mark emphasizes several principles:Christians should first examine their own lives and walk in alignment with Scripture.Believers are called to share truth, but transforming another person is the work of the Holy Spirit.Prayer should be central to ministry and evangelism.Biblical truth should be communicated with both conviction and grace.No person is beyond the reach of God's mercy, forgiveness, and transforming power.TS and Mark also broaden the discussion beyond homosexuality or transgender issues, emphasizing that biblical sexual ethics address pornography, masturbation, prostitution, adultery, sexual activity outside marriage, and other forms of sexual sin. Their central message is that every believer is called to repentance, holiness, and surrender regardless of the particular area of temptation or struggle. The episode concludes with a message of hope: no one is too far gone for Jesus Christ. God's mercy remains available to those who turn to Him, and Christians are called to stand firmly upon biblical truth while extending grace to a culture searching for identity, meaning, and freedom.Featured Guest: Mark Richard Featured Book: Sacred Sexuality: Grace and Truth Revealed in a Culture of Confusion Recorded at: CPE, St. Charles, Missouri Host: TS Wright Podcast: Kingdom Cross Roads PodcastCall to ActionSubscribe to Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, share this episode, and join us as we equip believers to stand on biblical truth, extend Christ-centered grace, and carry the Gospel into a culture desperately searching for answers.Keywords / TagsMark Richard, Sacred Sexuality, biblical sexuality, Christian sexuality, sexual purity, biblical truth, Christian worldview, homosexuality and Christianity, LGBTQ Christianity, transgender Christianity, gender identity, same sex attraction, Christian testimony, freedom in Christ, repentance, grace and truth, holiness, sexual sin, pornography Christianity, biblical marriage, Christian marriage, singleness and celibacy, evangelism, Holy Spirit, prayer, Jesus Christ, Christian discipleship, biblical identity, culture of confusion, Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, TS Wright, CPE 2026, Christian podcast, faith podcast, Christian authors
