August 24th, 2025 David ComstockLife is built on stories—whether from culture, achievement, or relationships—but not all foundations can hold when the storms come. This Sunday, in The OG's — Firm Foundation (2 Chronicles 34:29–33 | Matthew 7:24–27), we'll discover how God's Word isn't just rules to follow, but the only story strong enough to steady our lives. Come and be reminded that the question isn't if your life is built on a story, but which story—and who gets to write it

A Firm Foundation for Facing The Future - Pt2 by Sterchi Hills

Dr. David Hughes brings the word this week from Matthew 7:24-29.

Your next courageous step will be upon the foundation of what God has already done.

8-24-25 | Our Christian faith is not built on blind hopes and fleeting experiences. Our faith is built on Solid Ground, on the Firm Foundation that is Jesus Christ. In today's message, we are looking at the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.

2 Corinthians 4:6, For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.

A Firm Foundation for Facing the Future by Sterchi Hills

As we head into the New Testament in our Year of Living Biblically series, we're challenged to build our lives on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ. The central scripture, Matthew 7:24-27, paints a vivid picture of two builders - one wise and one foolish. We're called to be like the wise builder who hears Jesus' words and puts them into practice. This isn't just about belief, but about active, lived-out faith. The sermon emphasizes three key practices: raising a firm foundation by choosing the wisdom of Jesus, relying on that foundation especially in life's storms, and reinforcing it through consistent spiritual disciplines. We're reminded that Christianity isn't meant to be a comfortable, cultural experience, but a counterculture that's both offensive and attractive to the world. This message urges us to move beyond mere cultural Christianity and into a life of desperation for Jesus, where we're constantly stepping out in faith and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide our everyday interactions.

Romans 13:11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. 13 Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're addressing the troubling reality of the Epstein list and Donald Trump's failure to bring it to light, holding it up to the standard of biblical justice. God's Word commands that evil be exposed, not hidden in the darkness. I also take time to answer a variety of questions from you, my beloved audience.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Matthew 17:14, And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying, 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. 16 So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him. 17 Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me." 18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour.19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” 20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. 21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”

The beginning of restoration: inspection (damage report); demolition day; the ending: restoration through God's grace and mercy

Psalm 52:1, Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? The goodness of God endures continually. 6 The righteous also shall see and fear, And shall laugh at him, saying, 7, Here is the man who did not make God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness. But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever. 9 I will praise You forever, Because You have done it; And in the presence of Your saints I will wait on Your name, for it is good.

During Jesus’s ministry on this earth, thousands of people got to see, hear, and interact with Him. They got to make up their minds about whether or not to follow Him. Another generation got to base their decision on the testimony of those who knew Him and walked with Him, but eventually, everyone who had known Him in the flesh passed away. Where does that leave us? How do we get to know Jesus today? The good news is that Jesus Christ is not just the Son of God; He’s the Word of God. You can’t separate Jesus from His Word. They are eternally intertwined, which means that getting to know the Word helps you meet, learn, and know more about Jesus Himself. This week, we’re digging into the creation and trustworthiness of the Bible, helping us come to see it as a firm foundation upon which we should build our lives.

Listen to the Message from Sunday, July 13, 2025 Lord, Teach Us to Pray, Part Two – Kingdom, Power, and Glory Forever   1 Corinthians 1:10, Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. What is God waiting for? For believers, especially in the local church exercise the power of agreement in purpose and practice, Matthew 18:19, Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” 1 Corinthians 3:9, For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building. Without agreement in purpose and practice, There is no laboring together, there is no field, there is no building.

LUKE:11:1 Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.” Summary of "God's Will Be Done in Me" – Firm Foundation Inspiration Minute by Dr. Bryan Hudson Dr. Bryan Hudson explores the meaning and personal impact of the Lord's Prayer, particularly the phrase: “Your kingdom come, your will be done in earth as it is in heaven” (Luke 11:1-2). He emphasizes that this is not just a general prayer, but a call to become immersed in God's kingdom and aligned with His will. He explains that the "kingdom" refers to the King's domain—God's rule within us—drawing a contrast with earthly kingdoms like that of King Charles in England. Importantly, Dr. Hudson notes that America does not have a king, so biblical references to kings don't apply to the U.S. presidency. Using his travel experiences, especially driving in England, he illustrates how adapting to a new culture requires acclimation—just as entering and living in God's kingdom requires a transformed mindset and immersion. The central message is that when we are fully immersed in God's kingdom, His will naturally becomes our desire and way of life. The more we live “kingdom-minded,” the more we will live out God's will here on earth, just as it is in heaven. He concludes by encouraging listeners to seek full immersion in God's kingdom and to listen to the related Sunday message: “Lord, Teach Us to Pray, Part One: Your Kingdom Come.”

Philippians 4:4, Rejoice in the Lord always [at all times]. Again I will say, rejoice! Psalms 42:1, As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my food day and night, While they continually say to me, “Where is your God?” 4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go with the multitude; I went with them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast. Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him For the help of His countenance.

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're hitting a hot topic: America jumping into the Israel-Iran war. And I'm just going to say it—I don't think we should've gotten involved. I've supported Donald Trump for years, but I think he got this wrong.Israel just said they didn't need us. This was their fight. Then suddenly, we're bombing a nuclear site and opening doors that didn't need to be opened. And of course, anyone who questions it gets labeled a “panican.” But guess what? The “panicans” are starting to look more and more like prophets, because now, sleeper cells are stirring, and American churches are already under attack.We don't need to be scared, we need to be wise. The Bible calls us to test the spirits, stay watchful, and seek peace when we can. (1 John 4:1, Romans 12:18). So let's talk about it honestly. Because loving your country (and even loving your favorite president) doesn't mean checking your discernment at the door and always being a yes-man.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Listen to the Message from Sunday, June 22, 2025 Honor's Reward: How Doors of Blessing Open   Summary of "Power of the Lord Always Present" b Luke 5:17, Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them. 18 Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him. 19 And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus. 20 When He saw their faith, He said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you" This message highlights the truth that God's power is always present wherever His presence is. Drawing from Luke 5:17, where Jesus taught among Pharisees and religious leaders, the Scripture notes, “the power of the Lord was present to heal them.” However, healing didn't happen automatically—it required faith and action. The story of the paralyzed man lowered through the roof by his friends shows how persistent, active faith can tap into God's healing power. Jesus responded not to passivity, but to visible faith. He forgave the man's sins, resulting in both spiritual and physical healing, demonstrating that healing of the soul and body are often connected. Key takeaways: The Lord's power is always available when He is present. That power must be activated by faith. Faith requires action—not just belief, but effort and persistence. Jesus doesn't always “pray” for healing; sometimes He simply declares wholeness. Let your actions reflect faith, as “faith without works is dead” (James). The message ends by encouraging listeners to keep this truth in mind daily and to check out the related message, “Honor's Reward: How Doors of Blessing Open.”

Matthew 7:24-29

The Psalms are the hymns of ancient Israel. Jesus and His disciples sang them in worship as they traveled the dusty roads of ancient Palestine. Their words were even on Jesus' lips as He hung on the cross. The lyrics that brought so much hope and joy to Jesus continue to inspire His followers today. Join us each Sunday as we listen to a mixtape of Gospel Psalms that previewed Jesus' life, mission, death, and resurrection hundreds of years before His birth.  

Power has a way of corrupting all who come in contact with it. But the way of Jesus points us to use our influence and power for others. Peter reminds us that we do not have to guess what this looks like, one only needs to look at the example of our Great Shepherd.

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, we're talking about Tucker Carlson's highly discussed interview with Senator Ted Cruz. I'll be sharing my honest thoughts on how it went, why I think Tucker came out ahead, and what this kind of bold, unscripted, and unapologetically frank conversation means for the future of political discourse (spoiler: I'm all for it).We'll go into why I support constructive confrontation—yes, even when it gets "mean" and uncomfortable. The Founding Fathers didn't tiptoe around the truth, so why should we? They debated passionately because the stakes were high. The polite punditry act is wearing thin, and people are tired of political puppets mouthing safe lines. They're craving what we saw here: real conviction, real disagreement, and real questions.We'll cover why I believe Tucker won this exchange: from his biblical literacy to his serious concerns about foreign lobbying groups like AIPAC having a hand in U.S. policy. Ted got visibly nervous when pressed about Scripture, about Israel, and about U.S. involvement in a possible war with Iran. And the question still lingers: Why are we only now suddenly being pushed to act, when Trump was reportedly targeted by Iran two years ago?Most importantly, we'll reflect on Tucker's question—a theological one with deep political ramifications: Who is the real Israel according to God? Is it the modern state that does not believe Jesus is Lord and historically has required a denial of Christ for Jewish returnees? Or is it the true church—those who belong to Christ?I'll share my belief unapologetically: Israel is the body of believers in Jesus Christ. Not those who reject Him. Not those who crucified Him. That's a hard truth, but a necessary one in these last days when clarity very much matters.Faith shouldn't be a popularity contest.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOorwAVEYslTlOGA-36_bHHjruNDOebEKWQ6M2115NZZwL8WG_ali

Listen to the Message from Sunday, June 16, 2025 "Legacy of Love" - Father's Day Message   Summary of "Honor's Reward" by Pastor Bryan Hudson, DMin Mark 6:1 Then He went out from there and came to His own country, and His disciples followed Him. 2 And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him were astonished, saying, “Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such mighty works are performed by His hands! 3 Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” So they were offended at Him. 4 But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.” 5 Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And He marveled because of their unbelief. Bryan Hudson's talk, Honor's Reward, draws from Mark 6:1–6, where Jesus is dishonored in His hometown and thus unable to perform many miracles. Hudson highlights that it wasn't Jesus' unwillingness but the people's lack of honor that restrained His power. He explains that honor means to value, appreciate, and respect, whereas dishonor is treating something or someone as common or ordinary. Because the people saw Jesus only as “Mary's son” and not as the Messiah, they failed to receive the fullness of what He came to offer. Hudson connects this principle to daily life: you can only receive to the extent that you are willing to honor—whether it's God, people, or opportunities. He warns that like the Pharisees, people can honor God with their lips but remain far from Him in heart, missing out on His blessings. The key takeaway: Honor unlocks potential and blessing; dishonor shuts it down. Let honor be both heartfelt and practical to experience God's best.  

As Ward Church prepares to host the 45th General Assembly of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Dr. Scott McKee concludes the Firm Foundation series with a deep dive into the essential beliefs that unite us. Drawing from both scripture and history, Pastor Scott explores nine core doctrines that have guided the global church for centuries: the authority of scripture, the full divinity and humanity of Jesus, humanity's need for salvation, the atoning work of Christ, His resurrection, His promised return, the ongoing presence of the Holy Spirit, the invitation to become children of God through Christ, and the call to proclaim the gospel through both good news and good deeds. In a world often divided over secondary matters, this message reminds us of the firm foundation that holds us together: Jesus Christ.

Thank you for joining us for Christian Faith Center's Sermon of the week. This message is from our Nampa Location. Pastor Jordan continues series message "A Firm Foundation"Hebrews 6:13 NLT: So, let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding. Surely, we don't need to start again with the fundamental importance of repenting from evil deeds and placing our faith in God. 2 You don't need further instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And so, God willing, we will move forward to further understanding.
