The sermon explores the narrative of David and Uriah the Hittite through a hypothetical lens, asking what would have happened if Uriah had opened the letter containing his death warrant. This thought experiment serves as a warning to men of God about the dangers of moral compromise, illustrating how a leader's sin can betray the trust of their followers and endanger the entire congregation. The message emphasizes that true protection comes from consistent character rather than mere conviction, urging preachers to remain faithful to God's people, and for the people to avoid the bitterness that arises from the fallen abusing their trust. It challenges the audience to recognize the value of godly leadership and to stand up for the innocent against those who misuse their authority. The sermon concludes with a call to gratitude for faithful shepherds and a reminder that Jesus Christ remains the ultimate, faithful hero.

Rosette Sings, My Savior First of All

Special Services Night 2--What is Presbyterian?

This message is from the Sovereign Outreach 4 Grace / SO4G 2026 Monday Message - Sermon Audio Broadcast Series. This message was delivered by Pastor, Dr. Manfred Langer of the Cyrus Missionary Baptist Church in Kenova, West Virginia. The title of this message was 'The Revelation of Jesus Christ - Part-16' the main text was taken from Revelation 9:1-21, as well as various other Scripture texts. This series is a verse-by-verse exposition through the last book of the Bible.

This sermon explores the theological necessity of a transformed life following salvation, using the account of the paralytic in Mark 2 as a central framework. The message argues that while the forgiveness of sins in verse five is the foundation of the Christian experience, the command to arise and walk in verse eleven represents the visible evidence of that grace. By examining hypothetical scenarios where the man did not rise, the text highlights how a lack of victory would have discouraged believers, emboldened critics, and diminished the glory of God. The preacher emphasizes that a changed life is the most convincing witness to the truth of the Gospel, surpassing emotional worship or rhetorical skill. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a move from mere profession to active obedience, asserting that the power of preaching is validated only when it produces tangible change in the believer's daily walk.

"The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad." - Psalm 126:3 It is easy to look at what is wrong, what is missing, or what still needs to change. But Psalm 126 reminds us to stop and remember what the LORD has already done. In this message, Pastor Ed Decker points us back to the great things God has done for His people and the gladness that should follow when we recognize His goodness. Have we forgotten how far the LORD has brought us? Have we become so occupied with today's problems that we have stopped rejoicing over yesterday's victories? The LORD hath done great things for us. We have reason to be glad.

Romans 10: Deuteronomy 30

This sermon explores the nature of Christian faith as a divine gift that defies human nature, contrasting it with the irrational beliefs of atheism, and its capacity to achieve great works. True faith is not a special trait of elite saints but a common possession of all believers, enabling ordinary people to live righteously and serve God despite their weaknesses.

Scripture Reading: Exodus 31:12-18 Text: Exodus 31:13-17 Heidelberg Catechism LD 38, pg. 74 Series: Sabbath Theme: Sabbath and Covenant (II) 1. A Special Statute 2. A Special Sign 3. Special Sabbaths 4. Serious Sanctions

The sermon explores the Reformed doctrine of the certain application of Christ's redemption, emphasizing that salvation is secured for the elect through the Holy Spirit's effectual calling. By analyzing John 6:37-38, the text outlines key theological themes including election, limited atonement, and perseverance, asserting that those given by the Father will inevitably come to Christ and never be cast out. The discussion extends to the role of special revelation in salvation, distinguishing it from general revelation, and illustrates the miracle of regeneration through the metaphor of Ezekiel's valley of dry bones. Furthermore, the sermon differentiates between the passive nature of baptism as a sign and seal of the covenant and the active requirement of faith in the Lord's Supper, arguing against sacerdotal views that treat sacraments as magical instruments. This pastoral instruction encourages believers to trust in God's sovereign grace while maintaining a credible profession of faith and active participation in the church's ordinances.

This sermon explores the divine perspective presented in Mark 6, emphasizing that God perceives the full reality of human existence, including physical needs, spiritual lostness, and the internal state of the heart. The message highlights Jesus' compassion for the crowds, viewing them as sheep without a shepherd, and His instruction to the disciples regarding the necessity of rest and the exercise of faith during the feeding of the five thousand. It further examines the storm on the sea as a divinely permitted trial designed to teach reliance on Christ rather than human effort. The central theological argument is that a hardened heart prevents believers from recognizing these lessons and seeing others as God sees them. The preacher urges the congregation to soften their hearts to receive grace, understand the purpose of life's trials, and extend compassion to the lost.

Every believer is a priest to God called to "offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ (Rev. 1:6; 1 Peter 2:5, 9). The Holy Spirit, who was given in special measure to Old Testament priests (Num. 11:25) has been poured out on all believers to make them "wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for him." But while all Christians are priests, not all are ministers. The Lord still sets apart some of his men for vocational ministry. And it is beneficial for all of us to know how that happens.

This sermon emphasizes the biblical command to honor and love church leaders, grounding the discussion in 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13. It defines the pastoral role as a holy calling rather than a mere profession, illustrating this through the personal testimony of surrendering to God's directive to preach. The message highlights the pastor's faithfulness to God, family, and ministry, noting the spiritual burdens and constant opposition they face. By contrasting the pastor's dedication with the congregation's need for consistency, the sermon urges believers to support their leaders with respect and active participation in the church. Ultimately, it calls the audience to recognize the pastor as a fellow saved sinner who is worthy of double honor for their labor in the word.

Special Services, Night 1: Remember the Sabbath

Throughout history, there have been many people who searched for something that would keep them from aging.1 Ancient Gilgamesh supposedly found a plant that would make him young, but it was stolen from him before he could use it. The ancient historian, Herodotus, talked about a special water that lengthened people's lives. And Ponce de Leon was supposed to have searched for the fountain of youth in a place called Bimini. Why have so many people wanted to find the cure for aging? Perhaps they were afraid to die or wanted to regain the strength they had when they were younger. The Bible does not offer a fountain of youth. However, Jesus did offer eternal life to those who believed in Him. What exactly was He talking about? Was He offering a longer life on earth for Christians? I don't think so. Was He talking about eternity in heaven? Not necessarily. What He was talking about was something far greater than a longer life or even life after death. And this will be explained in our passage today.

This sermon examines the narrative in Acts 8 where Philip leads the Ethiopian treasurer to faith in Jesus Christ, presenting it as a model for effective evangelism. The central message emphasizes that preaching is not merely sharing information but explicitly declaring Jesus as the fulfillment of Scripture, specifically interpreting the suffering servant passage in Isaiah 53. The tone is instructional and pastoral, encouraging believers to be prepared to give an answer for their hope and to engage with others who are seeking understanding. Key theological themes include the sufficiency of Christ's atoning work, the importance of studying the Scriptures diligently, and the joy that follows genuine conversion and baptism. The sermon concludes by challenging the audience to consider their own role in leading others to Christ, highlighting the transformative power of the gospel from darkness into light.

How do we deal with regret?

Sometimes we need to focus on worshipping the Lord Jesus Christ.

Roll Eugene McEndollar, 84, passed into the presence of his Savior on September 11, 2026. He was born in Peoria, Illinois on March 12, 1942, and shortly thereafter was adopted by Willard E. and Blanch L. (Irey) McEndollar. Roll graduated from Woodruff High School in Peoria, Illinois in 1960 and completed a diploma program at Midstate College of Commerce in 1964 in the same city. He received a Bachelor of Science degree from Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina in 1973 and a Master of Arts in Teaching from the University of South Carolina in Columbia, South Carolina in 1976. He served in the US Army Reserves from 1963 to 1969 and was honorably discharged. Roll taught at Bob Jones Academy from 1973 until 1989. He worked for several Greenville area businesses after that, retiring from Garner's Natural Market & Café. Roll was known as an artist, particularly for his calligraphy. For many years he personally designed and silkscreened Christmas cards that he sent to his friends. Those cards are still treasured by many. Most importantly, Roll professed faith in Jesus Christ at the age of five and was known as a dedicated Christian by all who knew him well. Roll is survived by his sister, Vanna (Chuck) Zeigler, of Peoria, Illinois. Special thanks are expressed to the staff of Kauhale Pettigru, NHC Greenville, and Affinity Hospice.
