Pastor Hilton begins with Matthew 16:13-20, where Jesus asks who people say He is, and Peter declares, 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.' He emphasizes that this revelation came from the Father, not flesh and blood. Building on that, he explains that Jesus is both Son of Man and Son of God, and that believers, though born of flesh like Adam, can become sons of God through the new birth. He traces the phrase 'sons of God' from Genesis 6 (the line of Seth) through 2 Samuel 7 (God's covenant with David, declaring David His son) to the New Testament. The key text is Romans 8:14-19: 'For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.' Creation itself groans for the manifestation of these sons—believers who are not just born of blood or will but born of God through water and Spirit. Pastor Hilton stresses that becoming a son of God requires a relationship: calling on God like Enos, seeking Him like David in the pasture. Jesus, though the Son, learned obedience through suffering, setting the pattern. Now, filled with the Holy Ghost, believers carry the revelation and power to loose bonds on earth, reflecting the Father's nature. The ultimate hope is that when Christ appears, we shall be like Him, freed from the limitations of this fallen flesh.
Pastor Hilton opens with Matthew 16:13-20, where Jesus asks disciples who people say He is, and Peter declares, 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.' The pastor emphasizes Jesus' preferred self-identification as 'Son of Man,' highlighting His dual nature: fully God and fully man. He explains that Jesus, though equal with God, humbled Himself, taking on human limitations to redeem humanity. The sermon transitions to applying this sonship to believers: just as Jesus was Son of God and Son of Man, believers are both sons of men (limited, fleshly) and called to be sons of God (vessels for His Spirit). Pastor Hilton contrasts Adam as a son of God by creation with Jesus as the Son of God by quickening spirit, urging listeners to desire the latter. He examines Genesis 6, arguing that 'sons of God' there refers to the godly line of Seth, not angels—men who called upon the Lord. Using 2 Samuel 7, he highlights God's promise to David: 'I will be his father, and he shall be my son,' showing that authentic sonship stems from a personal, deliberate relationship with God, not ritual. The spiritual purpose is to call believers beyond mere Pentecostal tradition into a genuine, ongoing walk with the Father, where they bring their needs directly to Him, trusting His fatherly care and power to manifest His glory through His children.
Pastor Hilton preaches from Matthew 16:13-20, exploring the significance of Jesus' self-identification as the Son of Man. He emphasizes that while Jesus is the Son of God—sharing the Father's name, eternal nature, omnipotence, and omniscience—He chose to be known primarily as the Son of Man. This title appears over 80 times in the Gospels and, in the Old Testament, typically highlights human limitation, frailty, and mortality, as seen in passages like Psalm 8:4 and Isaiah 51:12. However, Pastor Hilton shows that God uses this very designation to elevate and empower humble individuals, as with Ezekiel, whom God repeatedly calls 'son of man' while entrusting him with powerful visions and missions. The core teaching is that acknowledging our identity as 'sons of men'—finite, dependent, and weak—is essential before we can become 'sons of God' through Christ. Jesus Himself modeled this humility, having 'no place to lay His head,' yet exercising authority to forgive sins and face accusation. He bridges the gap between human limitation and divine sonship. Pastor Hilton urges believers to embrace this same humble mindset, recognizing that true power and usefulness come from God alone. When we accept our lowly estate as vessels, we become usable for His purposes. The sermon calls for a revelation that as sons of men, empowered by the Spirit, we can share in Christ's victory and sit in heavenly places with the Ancient of Days.
The Fear of God stands as a foundational virtue in Christian ethics, appearing throughout Scripture as the beginning of wisdom and knowledge. Dave Rich examines this essential attribute in lesson 10 of his Christian ethics series, demonstrating how The Fear of God shapes believers' lives through faith, obedience, and trust.This biblical virtue appears in over 300 verses commanding believers to fear God while rejecting the fear of man or circumstances. The Fear of God leads to life, produces humility, and turns believers away from evil. Rich explores the profound connection between this virtue and anxiety, showing that worry reveals misplaced fear and denigrates God's providence.Therefore, believers must cultivate The Fear of God as the soul of wisdom, casting all anxiety on him who cares for them. This teaching illuminates how proper fear of God eliminates improper fear of everything else, grounding Christian living in eternal perspective rather than temporal concerns.Download Notes | Download Presentation ★ Support this podcast ★

Preaching The Truth The sermon presents a comprehensive theological framework centered on seven universal witnesses through which God draws all people to Himself, emphasizing that divine revelation extends beyond human effort. These witnesses—creation, the human conscience, Christ, the Holy Spirit, the church, the Bible, and the Christian—demonstrate God's persistent, multifaceted outreach to humanity, each targeted by Satan's deceptive strategies such as evolution, moral relativism, false religions, spiritual apathy, doctrinal corruption, textual distortion, and internal church division. The preacher underscores that while God does not rely solely on human agency, believers are called to actively participate in His mission by preserving doctrinal purity, resisting worldly distractions, and living as authentic, Spirit-filled witnesses. The tone is both pastoral and urgent, calling the congregation to vigilance, unity, and faithful stewardship of God's revealed truth in a world actively opposed to it.
Preaching The Truth The sermon presents a comprehensive call to Christian witness, framing believers as the seventh and final witness among seven divine instruments—creation, conscience, Christ, the Holy Spirit, the church, the Bible, and the individual Christian—each playing a role in God's redemptive work. Emphasizing that every believer is commanded to be a witness, the message underscores the dual vision of local and global outreach, rooted in Jesus' promise of power through the Holy Spirit and the Great Commission. It calls for holistic evangelism through four practical means: living a life of integrity and holiness, speaking the gospel with boldness, distributing biblical literature, and supporting missionaries as luminaries who illuminate the world. The tone is both urgent and hopeful, convicting believers of their responsibility while assuring them of divine partnership, and it challenges the congregation to move beyond passive faith into active, Spirit-empowered mission, knowing that God is already at work through creation, conscience, and the Spirit before any human effort begins.
Preaching The Truth The sermon emphasizes the importance of God's witnesses, particularly in reaching those who have never heard the gospel. Drawing on Isaiah 59:21 and recent events like the Charlie Kirk funeral, the message highlights creation, conscience, Christ, the Holy Spirit, churches, and the Bible as universal avenues of divine communication. It underscores the significance of planting churches in every town and nation, recognizing them as vital candlesticks for spreading the message, and champions the King James Bible as a uniquely preserved and powerful witness, urging continued support for Bible translation and proactive efforts to share God's word with the world.
Wednesday PM Service The sermon emphasizes the church's vital role as a witness for God, building upon the preceding exploration of creation, conscience, Christ, and the Holy Spirit as universal witnesses. It highlights the responsibility of believers to actively participate in church planting and discipleship, drawing parallels to historical examples and emphasizing the importance of local churches as platforms for evangelism and edification. The message underscores the church's significance as a candlestick, radiating light and requiring diligent care and ownership to prevent decline, ultimately calling for a renewed commitment to expanding God's presence in communities through vibrant, thriving local congregations.

The sermon explores the concept of universal witnesses to God, arguing that creation, conscience, Christ, and the Holy Spirit provide undeniable evidence of divine presence accessible to all people. Drawing from Scripture, particularly Romans and John, the message emphasizes that creation reveals God's power, conscience convicts of sin, Christ embodies righteousness, and the Holy Spirit testifies to the need for salvation. The preacher underscores the importance of personal responsibility in responding to these witnesses, highlighting the Holy Spirit's role in guiding believers and convicting the lost, ultimately urging listeners to embrace the opportunity for faith and salvation offered through Christ.
