Ever felt like you're just going through the motions in your faith? In this challenging episode, Pastor Derek Holmes invites us to an uncomfortable dinner party recorded in Luke 11:37-12:3. Jesus, as the guest of honor, directly confronts his Pharisee hosts, revealing their hypocrisy. He exposes how they meticulously cultivate an outward appearance of righteousness while their hearts remain untouched by true holiness. But the Pharisees aren't the only ones under scrutiny. Jesus then turns to the Scribes, the religious lawyers of the day, and uncovers how their rigid legalism was burdening and oppressing the very people they were meant to guide. Both groups, Pastor Holmes explains, were practicing a "tainted religion" – one that prioritized external show over internal transformation. Join us for "Behind the Mask" as Pastor Holmes unpacks this potent encounter. Discover why true Christianity must go more than skin deep. It's a call to examine our own hearts and ensure our faith is genuine, gives all honor and glory to Him, and fully welcomes His transformative presence in every aspect of our lives. This is a lesson for us all on the vital importance of authenticity in our walk with Christ.

In Genesis 22, we have one of the most well-known stories in the Old Testament - Abraham sacrificing Isaac. The Lord calls Abraham to Moriah; he embarks on a three-day journey, and we see the Lord as faithful as always. We hope this sermon blesses you in the Lord. Originally May 18th, 2025. Hank Atchison.

Pastor Stark preaches from Mark 9:14–29, where a father brings his afflicted son to Jesus after the disciples fail to help. The focus is on the father's honest, raw plea: "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief." Pastor Stark emphasizes that real faith isn't perfect, it's genuine. This father had doubts, but he still came to Jesus, and that was enough. The sermon encourages us to stop measuring our faith by its strength and instead ask whether it's real. Because even weak, struggling faith, if it's in Christ, is met with compassion and power.

True assurance of salvation is not based on a past decision or religious activity alone, but on present devotion, sound doctrine, and Spirit-led transformation. When faith is genuine, it's evident in love for Christ, hatred of sin, humble obedience, and an ongoing pattern of repentance. The difference between genuine faith and false assurance lies in a heart truly captured by the gospel, finding confidence not in self or superficial forms, but in Christ's finished work and transforming power.

What is false assurance of salvation? How can we know if our faith is genuine rather than a mere intellectual assent or a superficial profession of faith? Are there clear biblical marks that distinguish authentic, Spirit-wrought belief from a hollow confidence that leads to eternal disappointment? Is it enough to have prayed a prayer once, been baptized, or served faithfully in a local church for decades? Or does the Bible instruct us to examine our current spiritual condition, ensuring that what we believe and how we live truly align with God's Word? This week on the Straight Truth Podcast, host Dr. Josh Philpot sits down with Pastor Richard Caldwell of Founders Baptist Church to address a critical and often misunderstood issue: false assurance. Building from passages like Matthew 7, where Jesus warns that many will say, “Lord, Lord,” and yet be turned away, Dr. Caldwell unpacks how true assurance of salvation differs radically from a counterfeit confidence. The conversation centers on two vital threads that, when woven together, form the fabric of genuine faith: sound doctrine and a transformed life. As you listen, you'll gain clarity about what it means to have the right gospel doctrine—understanding justification by faith alone, the person and work of Jesus Christ, and the necessity of repentance and belief. Yet having correct doctrine is not enough. James reminds us that even the demons believe in God's existence, and they tremble. Genuine faith must also produce real, observable fruit in our lives: an authentic love for Christ, a hatred of sin, a growing desire for righteousness, humble submission to God's Word, love for God's people, and an ongoing pattern of confession and repentance. The Holy Spirit testifies with our spirit that we are children of God (Romans 8), not through bare head-knowledge alone, but through a life increasingly conformed to Christ and anchored in love for Him.

In this powerful episode of Ordinary People with Extraordinary Lives, host Arlenys Buckelew sits down with Pastor David Jordan, the Family and Marriage Pastor at Redeemer Bible Church, to explore his remarkable transformation journey. Raised in a conservative Southern Baptist home, David thought he was saved but later realized he lacked a genuine relationship with Christ. From evangelizing in high school without genuinely knowing Jesus to experiencing a crisis of faith in his marriage, David shares his path to true repentance and salvation. David discovered a deep love for Christ and the Bible through expository preaching and discipleship at Jack's Church in Burbank, California. This shift in his heart led him from a career in computer graphics to pastoral ministry, where he now focuses on discipling couples and strengthening families. David's story is a humbling testimony of God's grace and provision.  Watch his encouraging message about examining your faith and pursuing a life rooted in Christ now!

How can we know for certain that we have saving faith?  1.   Do I have a present trust in Christ for salvation?“Believes” is in the present tense denoting continual action. Are you continuing to trust Jesus?2.   Is there evidence of the Holy Spirit at work in your heart?·     Presence of the Spirit (Rom. 8:13-16)·     Fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:13-23)3.   Do you read the Bible and pray regularly?God's Word is his love letter to you. A true believer desires to hear from him. I am not saying you should doubt your salvation if you have missed a few days. But if you never pick up the Bible? There needs to be a desire to hear from God.  4.   Is there a pattern of obedience in your life?5.   Are you involved in Christian fellowship?--------DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH RON MOOREGet Ron's Daily Devotional to your inbox each morning; visit biblechapel.org/devo.CAREGIVINGDo you have a need we can pray for?
