Lesson #5 for Saturday, August 1, 2026 1 and 2 Corinthians Adult Sabbath School Lesson 3rd Quarter, 2026
I just got back from a 10 day vacation with my family in the mountains. We hiked. We kayaked. We fished. We swam. We watched sunsets. We star gazed. We sat in front of fires. All these things declared the goodness of our God. Creation itself declares God as creator!

Forgiveness of sin is the heart of redemption in Christ. But that is different than saying God's primary motivation for redemption is forgiveness of sin. In this sermon on “The Glory of God” from Ephesians 1:6, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones remarks that errant thinking places the human being at the center of salvation rather than God. Instead, the glory of God is the great motive that led God to plan and purpose redemption in Christ. Christians are often lethargic about their salvation but Paul says Christians are redeemed to praise Him. Why should Advent illicit praise to God? Chiefly because in the coming of Christ the revelation of God's glory is seen. Although the glory of God is difficult to define, the term implies God's beauty, majesty, splendor, greatness, might and eternity. Dr. Lloyd-Jones walks through various passages in order to demonstrate how this theme runs throughout Scripture (Genesis 3:24; Exodus 40:34–37; Isaiah 6; Luke 2:14; 2 Corinthians 4:6). Placing the glory of God at the front of one's mind can have great effects in evangelism. By emphasizing the glory of God in their proclamation of the gospel, Christians shall be much more apostolic in their method. While God is about His glory, the highest manifestation of that glory is found in the salvation of sinners.

Episode Summary. One of the words used to describe the worldview of the culture in which we all swim is secularism, which describes a lifestyle of preoccupation with the visible, material world to the neglect of the world of the spiritual. The result of swimming in this polluted water has been, in my view, a largescale disregard of the fourth commandment by Christians and consequent loss of its benefits. The lost benefits are understanding the eternal value of work and understanding the need to regularly shut out the secular world to be renewed and reconnected to the Spiritual Being who created us. This episode seeks to recover what is often lost by the neglect pf the fourth commandment.For Further Prayerful Thought:What most stood out to you in this episode about the fourth commandment?How would you respond to someone who said, “Keeping the Sabbath is being legalistic, and the church is not Israel?”What components of a biblical view of work seem most important to you.It's been said that the more important your work is, the more important it is to regularly step away from it and renew. How might this principle apply to serving Christ?For the printed version of this message click here.For a summary of topics addressed by podcast series, click here.For FREE downloadable studies on men's issues click here.To make an online contribution to enable others to hear about the podcast: (Click link and scroll down to bottom left)

As believers, we are called to Finish Well, and with God's help, we can. Preached on July 12, 2026
Elder Chad 1 Corinthains 10:1 -11:1
The Bible is not ancient words. It has so much to say to us today. It is for every generation but especially needed in this generation. Then Accusations False witnesses came forward accusing Stephen of blasphemous words against the Torah and the Temple (Acts 6:11, 13) These are charges that would lead to capital punishment. Acts 7:1 the high priest asks Stephen if these charges are true. Stephen begins his response very graciously "brothers and fathers…" and at that moment Stephen goes from Defendant to Prosecutor. Stephen's Response (part 1) - Torah A trip through Israel's history… Abraham (Acts 7:2b-3) Stephen begins his speech with "The GOD OF GLORY appeared to our father Abraham…" and shares the story of Abraham. We will see he ends His story with the words Glory and God as well! Joseph (Acts 7:9-10) Joseph was hated by his brothers, but ultimately used by God to save his brothers and families. Those God uses are often persecuted. Moses (Acts 7:25-40a) Moses was used by God to save the people, but the people did not recognize he was sent to rescue them. Using the history of Israel Stephen continues to demonstrate how often God's people have rejected the very ones God has raised up. Steven talks about Moses receiving "LIVING WORDS" to pass onto the people. Jesus is the Living Word - we see this in John 1:1, John 1:14. Stephen is communicating that Messiah has come and He is the Living Word all without mentioning Jesus name. Stephen's Response (part 2) - Temple The history of Israel's idolatry… Tabernacle (Acts 7:44-47) God gave Moses the pattern for the tabernacle of the covenant law to have with them in the wilderness. God gave the people the design of the tabernacle and that He would dwell in their midst but the people chose to worship idols instead and that resulted in exile. David ushered in a period of revival and Solomon built the Temple but ultimately ended up worshiping false deities. Temple (Acts 7:48 - 53) Stephen shows how the temple has become an object of worship rather than God: Worship of things rather than the Creator. Stephen calls these important leaders a stiff-necked people and accuses them of being just like their own ancestors. He tells them they resist the Holy Spirit and asks them, "Was there ever a prophet your ancestors did not persecute?" And he goes on to accuse them of killing the Righteous One. Now Ignore the Scriptures - Then - they took the parts of Scripture they liked and ignored the parts they didn't. Now - this same thing continues today. Followed self-made gods Then - followed the gods and ideas of others rather than the Scriptures Now - today we buy into the lies of the culture - Christians are often ignorant of what the Bible has to say. Buildings over Mission Then - they idolized their temple Now - many see the Christian faith as having a nice social network when instead our mission is to lead the world to a knowledge of the Lord Jesus. Miss Jesus the Messiah Then - this testimony of Stephen was for calling the people back to God Now - God today seeks to call us back to the knowledge of Jesus the Messiah. Resist the Holy Spirit Then - many resisted the Holy Spirit Now - today many resist the Holy Spirit. God calls us to despair of doing things in our own power and to humbly receive what He offers in Jesus our Savior. He desires we listen to Him and follow Him as Abraham, Joseph, Moses, the prophets, Stephen and the Apostles followed Him. God yearns for us to know Him Jesus loves us desperately and in Him is hope, forgiveness, power to live a new life and life forever. Acts 7:54-60. There are only 2 ways to respond to this message: 1 - to be angry 2 - to be repentant How did the Sanhedrin respond to Stephen's message? They were angry, but Stephen, filled with the Holy Spirit, looks up to heaven and sees the GLORY OF GOD and concludes his testimony with, "Look, I see heaven open and the Son of Man (Jesus) standing at the right hand of God." Then they take Stephen out to stone him and his final words are: "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. Do not hold this sin against them."

Sunday Morning Message - "For the Glory of God"In this message from June 28, Pastor Ben is in chapter 10 focusing on the dangerous territory of spiritual compromise and the impossibility of sitting at both the Lord's table and the table of demons. Drawing from Israel's past failures and Paul's direct warning to the Corinthian church, we examined how Christian freedom is not about doing what we have the right to do, but willingly surrendering our rights for the good of others and for the glory of God. The core challenge presented was this: mature believers don't ask "How close can I get to sin?" but rather "What most honors God and helps others follow Him?" We cannot accept Jesus as Savior while rejecting Him as Lord—it's both or neither.

What if the key to understanding God's love is realizing you've been adopted into His family?In this powerful Father's Day message, Pastor Greg Sukert walks through Ephesians 1 and reveals the breathtaking reality of spiritual adoption. No matter your past, your family background, or your current circumstances, God offers redemption, inheritance, and security through Jesus Christ.Drawing from his own personal journey through infertility and adoption, Pastor Greg shows how the doctrine of adoption transforms the way we view suffering, identity, and our relationship with God.You'll Discover: Why adoption is at the heart of the Gospel What Ephesians 1 teaches about God's love for His children How God redeems us from spiritual orphanhood The inheritance every believer receives in Christ Why your identity is secure in God's family How the Father's love sustains us through life's hardest seasons No matter what you're facing today, you are not undesired by God. Through Christ, you can become a son or daughter of the Most High God.Scripture: Ephesians 1:1-14
Pastor Bobby walks through 1 Kings 8 and the dedication of Solomon's temple, exploring what it means for God to dwell among his people. Solomon's prayer reveals a God who keeps his promises across generations, hears the prayers of sinners and foreigners, and can't be contained by any building or tradition. The temple wasn't made glorious by its cedar and gold but by God's presence filling it, and without that presence it was just a structure. Jesus becomes the fulfillment of everything the temple pointed toward, the true dwelling place of God among us.

Brandon Fisher | Jun 14 2026 What does it mean to be male and female? Are there other genders besides these two? Where do we look to determine what gender a person is? There may be no greater hot-button topic in our day then gender. Strong feelings and opinions can quickly devolve into arguments, misunderstandings, and name-calling. We need God's Word to cut through the noise to be able to understand not only his design for gender, but also the goodness and beauty of his design. We face challenges not only in how we speak to and defend the truth of God's Word in relation to gender, but also in how we seek to personally live out what it means to be male and female in the midst of our homes, churches, and culture. While the specific situation Paul was addressing in 1 Corinthians 11 may not still apply in our day, the biblical grounding and principles for what he is saying speak directly into this challenging area in our day to help us live as male or female for the glory of God and the good of the world.
