In this sermon, Pastor Ben Minton teaches about how the Lord is the Faithful God and what that means for Israel. Also, we learn from the mistakes that Israel and Moses made in their responses to God's call.
What does it really mean to live by faith — not just as an ideal or a theological concept, but in the real and often messy moments of everyday life? Faith isn't just for the mountaintop experiences or the pages of Scripture; it's meant to shape our choices, sustain us in uncertainty, and give us courage when the path ahead is unclear.This week, we'll explore Hebrews 11:4–7 and look closely at the lives of three flawed individuals — Abel, Enoch, and Noah. Each of them faced unique circumstances, yet all responded to God with extraordinary trust. Their stories remind us that faith is not passive; it's an active response to God's voice. It's saying yes to Him even when the world says no, even when we can't see the full picture.Living by faith doesn't mean having it all figured out. It means taking the next step, not based on what we see, but grounded in who God is and what He has promised. As a church may we be encouraged to trust God not just with our words, but with our lives.
The Glory of Our Fearsome & Faithful God (Psalm 76, Jul 6th 2025) by Sovereign Grace Church
A sermon from 2 Kings 6:8-23 in our Failing Kings, Faithful God series, given by Todd Stewman.
In this letter to the Thessalonian church, Paul is relieved and encouraged by the report from Timothy that this church has kept the faith. Paul has a new challenge for them now, that they not only increase their love for one another, but also they love ALL - as in even the Jews who have persecuted them in the past, who had run Paul out of town. Why this exhortation by Paul? So that God may establish hearts worthy to be saved where love contributes to spiritual maturity and readiness for judgement on the Last Day. Isaiah 66:10–14 I Thessalonians 3:6-13 Luke 10:1–20
What is faith? We talk so often about having faith, but what is it? How does it help us when we are struggling, discouraged? Is it like an ostrich sticking its head in the sand, a refusal to acknowledge your surroundings or a conflict? Is it an attempt to side-step hard things because “I have faith God will fix this”? What is the writer of Hebrews trying to help us understand about the nature of faith? What does it really do? How does it help us hold fast to who God is and what he has spoken to us through his word?
Sermon Scripture: 2 Kings 5:1–14Naaman was a powerful commander, but no amount of fame could cure the illness he carried. His healing didn't begin with a wondrous sign—it began in the intimacy of community with the small voice of a servant girl. This Sunday, we'll explore how God's faithfulness often shows up through unexpected people and shared connections. In a world that prizes independence, this story reminds us that we're better together. Join us as we reflect on how healing, hope, and wholeness are often found not alone, but in community.

We all ask the question at some point: What is God's will for me? In this week's message, we walk with Elijah from the mountaintop of fire to the quiet of the cave and listen for the whisper of God. While we often search for big signs, emotional highs, or opened doors, Scripture shows us that God's voice often comes in stillness - and His will begins not with direction, but with relationship. Join us as we explore 1 Kings 18–19, reflect on how we try to hear God, and hear the good news that even when we've filled our lives with noise or run the other way, Jesus still calls us back - not to shame us, but to bring us life. Real life. Abundant life. 1 Kings 19:9b–21 Galatians 5:1, 13–25 Luke 9:51–62
Faithful God
Sermon Scripture: 2 Kings 2:1-14Today, we're focusing on Elisha's story because it reveals one of the clearest ways God faithfully shows up in our lives: through mystery, through symbols, and through the people who guide us.These guides—our friends, teachers, companions—invite us into something deeper. They help name and nurture the best of what God has placed within us. Symbols, meanwhile, are the physical reminders—of God's calling, his provision, his faithfulness. And then there's the mystery: the many ways God works beyond what we can explain, gently leading us into his story of renewal and hope.Through all of these—guides, symbols, and sacred mystery—God is shaping us for the journey ahead.

In this heartfelt episode, I share the story behind my song Faithful God — a melody birthed from the fire of personal encounters and the unwavering truth of God's nature. This episode explores how every testimony is more than a recount of the past; it is a prophetic seed for the future.A testimony is not just a “look what God has done”, it's a bold “He can do it again” — for you, for me, for anyone who dares to believe. Through this song and conversation, I invite you into a space where faith rises, hope stirs, and the faithfulness of God becomes a living echo in your own story.Tune in and let your spirit be reminded: if He did it before, He will do it again — because He is a Faithful God.
Martin Luther - “It is not we who seek God, but God Himself seeks by means of the Word. THEN, after you have been found, then you should seek.” God says, “Here am I. Here am I! I want to be found.” But we ignore Him. We don't even hear Him through the noise of this world. We don't even see Him by the distractions of this world.” But God keeps showing up, revealing himself, even when we don't seek Him. He showed up in the most powerful way, a new testament, a new story dwelling with us, and He still does. Talks to us. Dwells with us in His Word and in His sacraments. Isaiah 65:1–9 Galatians 3:23–4:7 Luke 8:26–39
In this week's message from Faith and the Piano Man, we turn to Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire and the Scriptures to wrestle with a burning question: How do we live with faith in a chaotic world? Drawing from John 16:33 and Romans 8:18–25, we are reminded that while we didn't start the fire of brokenness around us, we are not powerless within it. In Christ, we find peace, purpose, and the promise that God is making all things new—even in the flames.
In one of the darkest seasons of Israel's history, a man named Ethan picked up his pen and wrote a song—not of sorrow, but of unwavering faith: “I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever.” From the depths of captivity, he declared what many of us need to be reminded of today: God is faithful. Whether you're standing on a mountaintop or leaning against the cold wall of a prison cell, His faithfulness never fails. This message is for anyone who's ever asked “Why, God?”—and still dared to worship in the waiting.

This text recounts the Israelites receiving the sign and seal of circumcision, and so being marked as God's people, recipients of God's blessings, and heirs to God's promise. The LORD reassures His people that He is faithful to go before them, be with them, and make them His. I. The LORD's faithfulness perceived II. The LORD's faithfulness received III. The LORD's faithfulness applied.
This week we ask a question too big to answer fully: Who is the Trinity? Instead of trying to explain Him, we turn to how the Trinity moves. The early Church used the word perichoresis, a divine dance, to describe how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit work together in perfect unity. Each Person of the Trinity leads a different movement: The Father creates and provides. The Son redeems and restores. The Spirit sanctifies and guides. And here's the good news: That dance isn't distant. You're invited in. Where is the Trinity at work in your life today? Psalm 8 Acts 2:14a, 22–36 John 8:48–59

Fallen People Faithful God Week #14 by Mission Life Church Ionia
This sermon, Lessons from the Wilderness: Bitter Water, Empty Stomachs, and a Faithful God, highlights that while God leads us out of Egypt, He often guides us through the wilderness to shape our hearts. The wilderness journey is not just about leaving behind the past but about discovering who we truly are and who God truly is. At the Waters of Marah (Exodus 15:22–27), bitter water mirrored the bitterness in the hearts of the people—testing didn't change them; it revealed them. In the wilderness of Sin (Exodus 16:1–36), their complaining exposed a deeper issue: trust in God's provision. The grumbling showed that the Red Sea was behind them, but fear still lived inside them. Even after God's miracles, they chose doubt over dependence. Yet at Rephidim (Exodus 17:1–7), when the people cried out in thirst and anger, God's faithfulness shone through. He provided water from the rock, not as a reward for their faithfulness but as a revelation of His own unchanging nature. The wilderness isn't just about survival; it's about transformation. Through every test, God's provision revealed His faithfulness, patience, and presence—even when His people were faithless. This wilderness journey shapes us, teaching us that God is faithful because of who He is, not because of who we are.
Christians should continually seek to glorify Christ in every circumstance, especially in challenging times, being comforted by the fact that God will rightly judge any opposition to faithfulness.
What does our giving say about our hearts? In Malachi 3:6–12, God calls His people to return to Him—not just with words, but with faithful generosity. This message explores how God's unchanging nature and abundant grace invite us to trust Him with our resources. Discover how joyful giving reflects a life rooted in worship and dependence on Christ.

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comActs 5 Ananias and Sapphira sell property but deceive the apostles about giving the full proceeds. Peter confronts them, and both are struck dead by God, instilling fear throughout the church. Meanwhile, the apostles continue to preach about Jesus and heal many who are sick. Motivated by jealousy, the high priest and the Jewish Council arrest the apostles. However, God sends an angel to release them, and they return to the temple to resume their teaching. They are brought before the Council again but boldly proclaim that they must obey God and teach about Jesus as the risen Savior and King. Gamaliel, a Pharisee, warns that opposing these men could mean standing against God. The apostles are beaten and released but rejoice in their suffering and continue to preach about Jesus openly. God values honesty, integrity, and sincerity among His people. The deaths of Ananias and Sapphira remind us that we cannot hide anything from God, and when we commit to Him, He expects faithfulness. It may be that these two sought recognition like Barnabas received but lacked the genuine faith to carry out the act of charity. In contrast, the apostles demonstrate self-sacrifice and unwavering commitment to the Savior. They were willing to bear the cost and even rejoiced in the opportunity to suffer as Christ did. God protected them and used their faith to encourage and help others. The opposition faltered in the face of their dedication to Christ. God will also be with us if we show authentic faithfulness. Faithful God, we know that You expect honesty and integrity from Your children. Please forgive our selfishness and hypocrisy. Help us learn from the failings of Ananias and Sapphira and take our commitment to You seriously. Discipline us to live like the apostles, actively assisting others and remaining steadfast in our vocal allegiance to King Jesus. Civil authorities and even religious leaders may oppose our simple, trusting faith. Lord, help us declare, “We must obey God rather than men,” and continue teaching repentance and the forgiveness of sins through Jesus. Train us to be joyful and confident in our Christian walk. Thought Questions: - Why did Ananias and Sapphira lie about the money they gave? How do you keep greed from getting in the way of faithfulness? - Even the shadow of Peter healed people as he walked by. Do you believe in God's limitless power to heal and help today? - Where do you encounter opposition to your faith and your stand for Jesus? What is the right way to handle difficult confrontations?
