Jesus Followers Can Influence and Lead a Return to God by Our People, Churches, and Nation Through the “Five Exhortations” MESSAGE SUMMARY: In the Bible, you can find five exhortations, from the God, that are right on point for our times of uncertainty in America: 1) Do not fear; 2) Continue to tithe; 3) Get out of debt; 4) Help our brothers and sisters in need; and 5) Pray. The people in Malachi's day were withholding what was God's, and they were paying a price. But even in those conditions of the nation's sin and faithlessness, God said to the nation, in Malachi 3:7, “From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the LORD of hosts. But you say, ‘How shall we return?'.”. God does not change – God today is the same faithful Creator of the Universe as He was in the time of Malachi. Return to God, both as individuals and as a nation; and see how God will bless us! TODAY'S PRAYER: Forgive me, Father, for at times treating you as if you were my personal assistant or secretary. Your ways are unsearchable and beyond understanding. Help me to put my trust in you and not in my circumstances. In your presence, I am silenced. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 87). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Compulsions. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Patience. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

The sermon centers on the biblical mandate for church order, emphasizing the necessity of recognizing and honoring faithful elders who labor diligently in the Word, not for their titles but for their faithful service and adherence to Scripture. It underscores that true ecclesiastical authority is derived from Christ alone, exercised through biblical discipline, admonition, and love, not human tradition or authoritarianism, and calls for a return to sola Scriptura in doctrine, worship, and governance. The church is exhorted to maintain peace not through compromise with sin and error, but through loving, patient, and biblically grounded correction of the unruly, comfort for the fainthearted, and support for the weak, all rooted in the authority of Scripture and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. The preacher warns against the dangers of legalism, cultural accommodation, and the erosion of biblical standards, especially in worship and doctrine, and calls believers to reject false peace built on toleration of heresy in favor of a deeper, scriptural unity. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a renewed commitment to biblical truth, faithful leadership, and a disciplined, grace-filled community that lives under the lordship of Christ and the authority of His Word.

“Final Exhortations” • 1st Corinthians 16:13-24 – Elder Bryce Lowrance. In his final message from the 1st Epistle to the Corinthians, Elder Lowrance shows that the Apostle Paul's purpose in the letter has been to charge the Corinthians brethren to put away selfish behavior and act like mature Christians by loving others. True manhood is a life lived for the benefit of others, not self pleasure or satisfaction. Part 2 begins in verse 14 with Paul's charge toward charity. This episode also includes samples of the Old School Hymnsingers upcoming album "That Little Old Church." A full recording of Brother Matthew Arnold's "Descend from Heaven Immortal Dove" and a portion of the favored old hymn "Come Thou Fount." This message was preached on Sunday, December 10, 2023.

7 Exhortations On Contending for the Faith - Jude 17-23
Kevin Anderson speaks from 1 Thessalonians 5 on the importance of prayer, community, and Scripture.
As Hebrews comes to a close, we're reminded again: Jesus is our altar, our sacrifice, our High Priest. We are called to bear His reproach, to live in obedience, and to trust in God's work in us. This is no ordinary farewell—it's a final charge to stand firm in grace. Let's finish the race well. The Rev. Robert Smith, pastor emeritus in Ft. Wayne, IN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Hebrews 13:9-25. For centuries, God spoke through prophets, in visions, through fire and thunder on Mount Sinai. But now, Hebrews tells us, He has spoken fully and finally in His Son. This book isn't just another epistle—it's the key that unlocks the Old Testament, revealing how everything was always pointing to Christ. The prophets, the angels, the priesthood, the sacrifices—all find their fulfillment in Him. Over the next several weeks, we'll walk through Hebrews, uncovering its depth, its urgency, and its breathtaking vision of Jesus as the great High Priest, the perfect sacrifice, and the One who is greater than all who came before. If you've ever wondered how the Old and New Testaments connect, how the shadows become substance, this is the book to study. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
