May 20, 2026 - Wednesday PM Bible Class This episode is a teacher-led Bible class focused on First John chapter 5. Hiram walks the group through the chapter's major themes: how Christians can know they currently possess eternal life, what constitutes true faith, and how faith should be demonstrated in a believer's life. Topics covered include: the meaning of being "born of God," the relationship between faith and obedience, the two chief commandments (love God and love one another), and the idea that God's commandments are not burdensome. The class emphasizes that faith is more than intellectual assent — it produces transformed life, love for God's children, and victory over the world through union with Jesus. The speaker carefully unpacks John's testimony about Jesus — the three witnesses (the Spirit, the water, and the blood) — and connects these witnesses to biblical proofs (miracles, the Father's testimony, scripture, and the resurrection) that establish Jesus as the Son of God. Practical questions are addressed: how to receive the Son, how to be assured of salvation, and why believers sometimes struggle to feel confident despite biblical assurances. Key practical points include the privilege of prayer and confidence before God (asking according to his will), the distinction John draws between sins that lead to death and those that do not, and the call to keep oneself from idols. The lesson concludes by urging listeners to internalize the assurance of eternal life so they can faithfully share the gospel with others. This episode features an instructor-led Bible study with class participation. Expect clear explanation of Scripture, cross-references to the Gospel of John and other New Testament passages, and pastoral application aimed at encouraging confidence in Christ and active Christian living.   Duration 44:19

May 24, 2026 - Sunday AM Sermon This episode is a sermon-based exploration of the New Testament book of Philemon, examining how the gospel transforms ordinary lives and relationships. The speaker walks listeners through the historical background — Paul, Philemon, and Onesimus — and explains why this brief one-chapter letter matters for Christians today. Using everyday analogies (the periodic table, weather apps, and a modern “magic eraser” photo example), the message emphasizes that Christian truth is not merely factual knowledge but a force that should change behavior and relationships. The core of the episode outlines six practical ways the gospel makes a difference: it produces true love, changes how we approach people (the "living room" vs. "courtroom" models), redefines a person's past, repairs broken relationships, empowers believers to do hard things, and saturates life with grace. Key biblical passages and images are referenced throughout (Philemon, John, 1 John, 2 Corinthians), and Paul's pastoral method — appealing in love rather than commanding — is highlighted as a model for Christian influence. The sermon also covers concrete illustrations and applications: Paul's personal appeal to Philemon to receive Onesimus as a brother, Paul's offer to repay any debt Onesimus owes, and the necessity of real reconciliation and hard but loving conversations in families, churches, and workplaces. Practical next steps discussed include confessing faith, baptism, and letting the gospel's grace reshape daily conduct and relationships. Listeners will hear reflections on how the gospel changes identity and memory (God's forgiveness as an ultimate eraser of past sins), how grace sustains obedience, and why faith should result in visible, relational transformation. The episode features the lead preacher and musical contributions from Mike; it closes with an invitation to respond to the gospel and practical encouragement to let faith reshape personal life and community relationships.   Duration 33:37

May 24, 2026 - Sunday PM Sermon This episode is a short devotional sermon focused entirely on the gospel theme of grace. Using a vivid restaurant story—where a surprised diner learns his meal was paid for by another—and the classic General Mills “add an egg” advertising anecdote, the speaker frames grace as God's unearned gift that changes how we live. The service's music and readings all build toward this central idea. Hiram lays out three practical realities from Scripture about the grace of God: (1) No bragging — salvation is the gift of God, not our achievement (Ephesians 2:8–9; 1 Corinthians 1:31); (2) No borrowing — in Christ we are fully supplied and lack nothing, so we don't need to derive identity or worth from jobs or relationships (2 Corinthians 3:5; Ephesians 1:3; 2 Peter 1:3); and (3) Nobody left behind — Jesus took the cup of death in our place so that all who trust him receive life (Hebrews 2:9; Hebrews 5:8–9; John 1:29). The sermon includes scriptural references (John 1:17; Romans 14:12; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Psalm 25:8; Psalm 34:10; 2 Corinthians 8:9 and more) and two clear metaphors—the unpaid restaurant check and the medicine cup—to make the doctrine of grace tangible: you didn't earn it, you don't need to borrow for it, and it's available so that none need be left out. Listeners can expect encouragement to stop boasting in themselves, freedom from needing approval or identity from worldly things, and reassurance that Christ's substitutionary work secures salvation for all who trust him. The episode closes with an invitation to respond: to believe in Jesus, turn from sin, and be baptized as a public reception of God's gift of grace; the congregation is offered prayer and an opportunity to come forward.   Duration 9:49

May 27, 2026 - Wednesday PM Bible Class   In this episode Hiram leads a clear, practical walk-through of the one-chapter epistle 2 John. He situates 2 John alongside John's other writings, explains why truth and love anchor the letter, and highlights the congregation-centered language (the "elect lady" and her children) John uses to address church life. Topics covered include: the identity and role of the author ("the elder"); differences between 1 John and 2 John; the centrality of truth that "abides forever"; what it looks like to "walk in the truth" and to love one another as a perpetual command; how to recognize those who truly love the truth by their behavior; and the apostolic urgency to oppose error. The episode examines John's stern warnings about deceivers and the antichrist—specifically those who deny that Jesus came in the flesh—together with the first-century context of hospitality and how receiving or greeting false teachers amounts to endorsing their work. Key doctrinal points include the necessity of abiding in the teaching of Christ to have the Father and the Son, the importance of confession, and the danger of adding to or subtracting from the gospel. This is a focused teaching session by the speaker with pastoral and practical application. Listeners should expect biblical exposition, cultural and textual background (including references to Ephesians, Romans, and examples from the Gospels), and concrete takeaways for church practice: cherish truth, practice sacrificial love, test teachers by their doctrine, avoid endorsing error, and protect the congregation's faithfulness.   Duration 44:37

Daily Dose of Hope June 11, 2026   Scripture: 1 Kings 9   Prayer: Abba Father, We come to you today, grateful for your love and care in our lives.  Thank you for your presence and your peace.  Help us to gather our scattered thoughts and set aside distractions so we can focus on what you have for us today.  In the next few moments of silence, Lord, help me be still and know that you are God...We give you all the glory, Lord Almighty.  Amen.    Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading. This summer, we are working our way through the books of 1 & 2 Kings.  Today, our reading is 1 Kings 9.   This is a chapter with a lot of different elements.  It starts out with God blessing the Temple, but God also gives his conditions.  Solomon and the Israelites will receive blessing only if they keep the law and avoid idolatry.  In fact, God is very specific here – if Israel falls into a pattern of idolatry, God will lift his hand of protection, and allow this beautiful, grand Temple to be torn to the ground by their enemies.  This is an important point to remember as we move further into 1 & 2 Kings.   We then move into Solomon's dealings with the king of Tyre, Hiram.  If you recall, he provided a lot of lumber and supplies for both the Temple and the royal palace.  As a gift, Solomon decided to give the king twenty cities from the area of Galilee.  Apparently, the king was not impressed at all with the cities and calls them essentially worthless.  Doing a little more digging, I found that these cities were run-down and did not provide good agricultural land.  They weren't such a great gift after all.  Since the king of Tyre helped Solomon so much, it is interesting that Solomon offered him some of the worst land.    There is then this interesting discussion about where Solomon's conscripted labor was coming from.  The Scripture says that the laborers were from non-Israelite populations living in the land.  These would have been people that the Israelites failed to force out when they conquered the land.  They built the wall of Jerusalem, the Millo (a type of fortification), and the cities of Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.  The chapter ends with some talk about the many ships that Solomon had and all the gold they went to retrieve from Ophir.   I looked up where Ophir was located but its actual location is a mystery.   Solomon was very successful in his building projects.  But God makes it clear that he cares much more about the people's hearts than their building accomplishments.  Even when it comes to the Temple, God says he will tear that thing down by whatever means necessary if the people don't follow his ways.  God is always more concerned about our hearts.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Naptown Blues Fancast covers the full swing of emotions that is USL2 football. Wednesday brought East Coast semifinalists Lionsbridge to NMCMS, and the result — a 2-0 defeat — was hard to argue with. The Blues controlled possession and put up 6 shots, but none of them truly tested the keeper, and a quickly taken short corner early in the second half effectively ended the contest. Sam and Hiram don't sugarcoat it. We also get to know a couple of new faces: Brazilian newcomer Enzo DeAlmedia and substitute Ollie Snowden, one of the few bright spots on the night. Saturday was a different story entirely. PFA came to town and the Blues were ready — scoring inside three minutes through Rich Monath, surviving a lightning delay, and then absolutely running riot for a 7-0 final. Penalty goal from captain Tyler Gabara. A cheeky chip from Roshawn Panton. Two rockets from substitute Caleb Pritchett. And a hat trick to close it out for Rich Monath. Crabtown Blues showed up loud for a wings-and-hair-metal tailgate and never let up. Post-match audio from Gabara, Pritchett, and Monath included. Sam also previews the playoff picture and the road ahead — Wednesday at Loudon, then Christos the following Monday.

You'll hear directly from the players and coach this week post-match audio from the pitch, straight from the people wearing the badge. Then Sam and Hiram dig into the first two matches of the season and what they're telling us about this Blues squad. Match two at home ended 2-0 VBU — a result that didn't reflect the chances created or the effort put in. Defensive miscues, a phantom no-call on a penalty, a crossbar rattle on the best chance of the match, and a growing yellow card collection made for a frustrating ninety. The Blues are adjusting. The pieces are there. Up the Blues. Premier League coverage DU Football Show.

Serangan udara Israel di Kota Tyre Lebanon Selatan menghantam bangunan di sekitar Rumah Sakit Hiram dan mengakibatkan sedikitnya tiga belas staf medis dilaporkan terluka. Meskipun militer Israel berkilah serangan tersebut menyasar pusat komando Hizbullah namun bom di lapangan justru merusak area fasilitas kesehatan. Insiden ini terjadi di tengah proses diplomasi gencatan senjata yang dimediasi oleh Amerika Serikat setelah Presiden Donald Trump mengumumkan perpanjangan masa damai selama empat puluh lima hari. Selain itu militer Israel kini mulai menetapkan taktik garis kuning di Lebanon Selatan guna mencegah penduduk sipil kembali ke area konflik sebuah metode pertahanan yang sebelumnya juga diterapkan di Jalur Gaza.

Predicación del domingo 24 de mayo de 2026 - 8:00 a.m.

April 24, 2026 - Equipped 2026 - Day 2 - 11:00 AM Session   In this sermon-style episode, guest speaker Bill preaches to a local congregation (with thanks to hosts Neil, Hiram, and the elders) from Genesis chapters 6–9. Centered on the theme "Sin, Grace, and Covenant," the message examines the corruption of the antediluvian world, God's grief over human wickedness, and the single line of faithful survival through Noah and his family. Bill surveys competing interpretations of key phrases (the "sons of God," the Nephilim, and lines of Seth and Cain), explains the significance of Noah's righteousness — "Noah walked with God" — and highlights the genealogical continuity from Adam through Noah to Abram and ultimately to Christ. He argues for a plain-historical reading of Genesis 1–11 and stresses how those chapters set the stage for the rest of Scripture, including Genesis 12 and the promise to Abraham. The episode carefully unpacks the flood narrative itself: God's warning (the 120-year period), the ark's construction and the distinction between clean and unclean animals, the deluge's mechanics ("fountains of the great deep" and the "windows of heaven"), the timeline (40 days of rain, 150 days of prevailing waters), and the ark's resting on Ararat. Bill defends the global scope of the flood and draws attention to textual details often glossed over in children's retellings. Attention is given to covenant and worship after the flood: Noah's altar, God's promise never to destroy the earth again by water, the rainbow as the covenant sign, and how the Noahic covenant is universal and unconditional. The sermon links the flood typologically to New Testament themes — especially 1 Peter 3's comparison of salvation through the ark with salvation through baptism and Christ's resurrection — and cites Old and New Testament passages (Psalm, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Matthew, 2 Peter) to show the flood's theological importance. Finally, Bill offers pastoral application: the possibility and duty of faithful living in an ungodly age, the seriousness of divine judgment balanced by the height of God's grace, and the enduring trustworthiness of God's promises. Listeners should expect exegetical detail, theological reflection on history and covenant, and clear invitations to consider how Noah's faithfulness points forward to Christ and to our own call to walk with God.   Duration 39:19

FDR faced significant domestic opposition from powerful congressional voices like Harry Truman and Hiram Johnson, who viewed both Hitler and Stalin as "monsters" or "beasts." Internal polls showed that 54% of Americans opposed aiding the Soviet Union, with majority support in only 11 states. To bypass this political resistance, the Roosevelt administration kept the early stages of Soviet aid secret for six months. Sean McMeekin notes that it was only after the Soviet regime survived the 1941 winter that Roosevelt publicly admitted to a multi-billion dollar credit line with no strings attached, effectively winning the political battle through executive discretion.

May 17, 2026 - Sunday PM Sermon Welcome to our question-and-answer session with Neal and Hiram. In this episode the hosts field ten submitted questions from members and visitors, unpacking difficult topics with Scripture, pastoral insight, and practical application. Topics covered include whether we "entertain angels unawares" and the present role of angels and demons in the world; hospitality and its spiritual significance; interpreting Proverbs 6:16–19 and the Hebrew idiom of "six...seven"; Paul's exhortation "be imitators of me as I am of Christ" and how it relates to humility and pride; the influence of materialism, humanism, and nihilism on Christian belief; teaching modesty to boys and girls and resisting cultural pressures; what it means when Scripture says God "regretted" human choices while remaining omniscient; whether John 15–16 supports Calvinistic unconditional election and how predestination relates to human response; practical ways to keep evangelistic conversations anchored in Scripture rather than personal opinion; and how shyness and introversion should be understood and harnessed for joyful service.   Key points include: angels minister today but usually remain unseen; demon possession was prominent in biblical eras while modern demonic activity is largely persuasive rather than physically possessive; hospitality can open God-sized opportunities without promising miraculous sightings; all sin is deadly if unrepented but some sins carry greater earthly consequences; Hebrew poetic devices explain "six...seven" without ranking sins; Paul's example is pastoral and Christ-centered, not prideful boasting; Christians must resist cultural narratives that center self over God; modesty emphasizes inner godliness as revealed in 1 Timothy and 1 Peter; God's expressed regret communicates relational sorrow without contradicting divine foreknowledge; predestination in Scripture is best understood as God's plan with the call for human response; evangelism should first establish Scripture's authority and invite people to apply specific passages; and introverts have distinct, valuable ways to serve the body of Christ. The episode closes with an invitation to respond to Christ by repentance, baptism, and deeper discipleship.   Duration 53:01

April 22, 2026 - Wednesday Bible Class This episode introduces a new week-by-week series through 1 John (and later 2–3 John), taught in a classroom setting where the instructors have swapped: Hiram leads the 1 John series while Neil teaches Nehemiah in the adjacent adult class. The approach for the quarter is big-picture, one major theme per chapter, emphasizing themes that John repeats across his letters rather than a verse-by-verse technical exposition. The program opens with a survey of the author and audience: the Apostle John — one of Jesus' “inner three,” present at the cross and later exiled on Patmos — whose long ministry and eyewitness testimony give weight to his teaching. The instructor highlights John's transformation (from one of the “Sons of Thunder” to the “disciple Jesus loved”) and explains why that life experience matters for understanding 1 John. The class unpacks who John was writing to (experienced Christians) and why: three explicit purposes surface across the book — to clarify who believers have fellowship with (the apostles and, ultimately, the Father and the Son), to lead readers into full joy, and to give assurance that those who believe already possess eternal life. Hiram stresses that biblical “knowing” is meant to change how you live, not remain merely intellectual. Common false teachings that motivated John's letter are discussed: early tendencies that denied Jesus' true humanity and divinity (later associated with Gnostic or docetic ideas), claims of spiritual elitism that excused ongoing sin, and teaching that separated knowledge from love. John's core counters are reiterated: Jesus came in the flesh, love for the brotherhood proves genuine faith, and Christians will struggle with sin but should not live in willful, habitual sin. The class reads and expounds 1 John 1:1–10. Key points from that passage highlighted in the episode include John's eyewitness testimony (“we heard, we saw, we touched”), the central declaration that “God is light,” the condition for fellowship (walking in the light), the ongoing efficacy of Christ's blood to cleanse believers from sin, and the importance of honest confession (contrasted with the deception of denying sin). Listeners can expect seven weeks of chapter-focused teaching, practical application for Christian living (fellowship, confession, loving others, persevering in truth), and repeated reminders that sound doctrine should produce joy and transformed behavior. The episode prepares the listener to continue with chapter-by-chapter themes: fellowship, walking in light, assurance of eternal life, resisting false teachers, and the supremacy of love in authentic Christian faith.   Duration 44:35

May 3, 2026 - Sunday AM Sermon   This episode is a deep-dive sermon on the life of King Hezekiah, unpacking why he stands out among the kings of Israel and Judah. Drawing primarily from 2 Chronicles 29–32, 2 Kings 18–20 and Isaiah 36–39, Hiram traces Hezekiah's reforms, his restoration of temple worship and the Passover, his reliance on prayer during the Assyrian crisis, his miraculous extension of life after terminal illness, and the pride that followed his blessings. Listeners will hear five practical takeaways for making a life count: refuse to be bound by your past, make pleasing God your primary aim, capitalize on the privilege of prayer, use your time wisely, and remain humble in blessing. Each point is illustrated with biblical references, historical events from Hezekiah's reign (including Sennacherib's defeat and the Babylonian envoys), and contemporary examples — from cultural references like Jim Carrey to modern analogies such as landline communication and reflections from Bronnie Ware on end‑of‑life regrets. The sermon also includes application and invitation: how Hezekiah's example challenges listeners to change course regardless of family history, prioritize God over popular approval, pray constantly, steward remaining time well, and guard against pride when blessed. The episode closes with a call to repentance, faith in Christ, and opportunities for prayer and baptism for those who want to respond. Duration 35:02

May 3, 2026 - Sunday PM Sermon   In this episode we celebrate life's milestones—honoring two college graduates, ten high school graduates, and the joyful baptism of Randy Huff and his son Hayden after study and outreach by Justin and Hiram—before moving into a practical, pastoral message about clearing the spiritual clutter that can crowd our hearts and minds. Using everyday images (garage and yard-sale culture, a mattress left at a driveway, and spring-cleaning rituals) Neal connects physical decluttering with spiritual renewal. He grounds the message in Scripture—referencing passages such as Proverbs 4:23, Philippians 4, Romans 12:2, Matthew 6 and Luke 12—and explains how thoughts and habits accumulate and distract us from kingdom priorities. The core of the sermon identifies three common kinds of mental and spiritual clutter to remove: worry (explored through Jesus' teaching on anxiety and supported by a 2020 Penn State study that found writing down worst-case fears can shrink anxiety), discontent (illustrated by the Stanford marshmallow experiment and biblical warnings about covetousness and envy), and the desire for human approval (examined through New Testament warnings and the example of Daniel and Paul's moral courage). Practical antidotes are offered: replace worry with trust in God's care, learn the discipline of contentment through dependence on Christ, and cultivate moral courage to seek God's approval rather than man's. Historical and biblical examples—from Nebuchadnezzar and Daniel to Paul, Timothy, and the image of Cheyenne “dog soldiers”—underscore the cost and reward of standing for faith. The episode closes with pastoral encouragement to cast cares upon the Lord, respond to God's invitation for help and repentance, and a call to communal prayer and support for those who want help unloading their burdens. Listeners can expect scripture-rich teaching, relatable stories, psychological and biblical insights, and a clear invitation to action and spiritual renewal.   Duration 35:19

April 29, 2026 - Wednesday PM Bible Class This episode is a verse-by-verse Bible study of 1 John 2 that unpacks what it means to "walk in the light." Hiram examines John's purposes for writing (joy, assurance of eternal life) and connects chapter 2 to the opening themes of chapter 1: the reality of Jesus in the flesh, fellowship with God, and ongoing cleansing by the blood of Christ (1 John 1:1–4; 1:7; 1:9; 5:13). Key topics covered include two foundational practices for remaining in the light: avoiding a sinful lifestyle while also availing yourself of Jesus as advocate and propitiation when you do sin (1 John 2:1–2). The study stresses that forgiveness is available but not a license to continue in sin; Christians should aim to sin less as they remain dependent on Christ's atoning work. Hiram then explains obedience as the proof of knowing Christ: keeping Jesus' commandments demonstrates genuine fellowship with God (1 John 2:3–6). Loving obedience is presented as the evidence of a living relationship with Jesus, not mere lip service—echoing passages like John 14–15, Matthew 7, and Romans 6. Another major emphasis is the "new commandment" to love one another (1 John 2:7–11). John shows that love for fellow believers is the practical marker of walking in the light—hatred or persistent discord signals darkness and cuts off fellowship and access to forgiveness. The lesson stresses reconciliation and the urgency of restoring relationships. The episode also warns against loving the world—defined as the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—and explains how false teachers and "antichrists" (those who deny Christ or the incarnation) were an active threat in John's day (1 John 2:15–27). Listeners are encouraged to rely on the anointing and truth they have received to discern error and remain steadfast. The study closes with practical application: abide in Christ, practice righteousness, reject worldly desire, love the brethren, and keep God's commands so that when Christ appears you will not shrink back in shame. No external guests are featured; this is a focused, teacher-led Bible class that combines exposition, cross-references, and pastoral application to help listeners know what to expect and how to live out 1 John 2.   Duration 39:27

May 13, 2026 - Wednesday PM Bible Class   In this episode we work through 1 John chapters 3 and 4, exploring how John answers the church's confusion about how to know if someone truly knows God. Hiram recaps last week (when Chris filled in) and traces John's two primary evidences of genuine faith: believing rightly about Jesus and loving other Christians. Topics covered include the rise of false teachers (especially early Gnostic ideas), practical ways to “test the spirits,” and Old Testament and New Testament criteria for evaluating prophets and teachers (Deuteronomy, Acts 17, 1 Thessalonians 5, and more). The episode emphasizes examining teachings against Scripture, checking the fruit of a teacher's life and doctrine, and watching for financial or reputational red flags. Key doctrinal focus is on properly identifying Jesus — particularly the necessity of confessing that Jesus “came in the flesh” — and the dangers of denying that truth (the spirit of the antichrist). The host connects this to apostolic authority: listening to apostolic teaching is a mark of being “from God.” Practical application and pastoral counsel include cultivating spiritual discernment without becoming cynical, assuming the best of people while testing teachings, searching the Scriptures like the Bereans, and asking probing questions. The class highlights love as central: God's love is shown in sending his Son and loving one another is the primary evidence that God dwells in us. The Holy Spirit's presence, confidence before the day of judgment, and living out love tangibly (not merely professing it) are presented as decisive signs of belonging to God. Listeners will leave with biblical benchmarks for evaluating teachers and teachings, concrete markers of authentic Christian life (right belief about Christ, mutual love, spiritual fruit, and obedience to apostolic instruction), and encouragement to live a Spirit-led, discerning, and loving faith. Duration 41:27

May 17, 2026 - Sunday AM Sermon This episode explores how to avoid the two common extremes in Christian living — full-on worldliness and monastery-style separatism — and instead embrace a third, biblical way of enjoying God's world. Hiram walks listeners through key passages from Ecclesiastes and other Scripture to show how believers can live joyfully and faithfully: enjoy your work, savor food and drink, accept your portion, cultivate relationships, trust life's seasons, rejoice in youth, and receive life as a gift. Along the way the episode references passages in Genesis, Psalms, Proverbs, John, Acts, Paul's letters, and wisdom from writers like Marilynne Robinson to illustrate how creation, vocation, and ordinary pleasures point to God's goodness. The episode concludes with an invitation to respond to the gospel and practical encouragement to live as stewards who enjoy God's gifts while keeping an eternal perspective.   Duration 35:33

A new season of Annapolis Blues soccer is also most here! Sam Huston and Hiram Wainwright are back in the studio, and they're kicking off the new season with the gaffer. Annapolis Blues FC head coach Colin Herriot comes into the studio to break down Year 1 in USL 2, what he learned, and what this club is building toward in 2026. They get into the moments that defined last season — the four-games-in-eight-days grind, the road losses that hurt, and why the boys walking across the field to thank a handful of travelling supporters after a brutal week said everything about who this group is. Coach Herriot talks about a 36-man roster built depth-first, recruiting to a profile from goalkeeper to striker, and why a Chesapeake Division that just added three new clubs is only going to make everyone better. There's also a winter trip to Rio, a conversation about tactical cycles and modern football identity, and a genuine belief that the connection between this team and this city is something worth protecting — and building on. We're drinking Navy Hill tequila soda — women-owned out of Richmond, VA, and great for the parking lot, Hiram's drinking a hint of lime. Sam's on grapefruit. Season 4 tastes good. Up the Blues.

April 12, 2026 - Sunday PM Sermon   In this episode Hiram addresses a growing number of Americans who claim no religious affiliation and offers practical tools Christians can use to talk with skeptics. Framing the conversation around both scripture and observable reality, the message aims to equip listeners to "meet people on their terms" — arguing that belief in God is not just a faith claim but is supported by everyday evidence. The episode lays out eight core reasons why belief in God makes sense: design (the finely tuned, Goldilocks conditions of the universe and the human body), mathematics (the universal and non-material reality of numerical truth), consciousness (human self-awareness and reason), morality and outrage (a universal moral law written on the human heart), beauty (aesthetic order that points to a Creator), hope (human longings for redemption), love (agape as a transcendent reality), and story/narrative (humans as story-telling beings whose deepest longings mirror the Bible's grand narrative). Scripture is woven throughout the talk (Genesis, Romans, Psalms, John, Isaiah and others) and the speaker emphasizes that while these arguments are grounded in the Bible, many of them are also accessible to non-believers without opening a text. The episode includes a contemporary example — astronaut Victor Glover — who describes seeing God's handiwork from space and how that perspective reinforced his faith. Historical and cultural illustrations are used to sharpen the moral argument (for example, the Nuremberg trials) and literary references such as J.R.R. Tolkien are invoked to explain why humans are wired for story. Practical application is stressed: the goal is not merely intellectual assent but to point people to Jesus Christ, his death and resurrection, and the life-change that follows — including baptism and public commitment. The episode closes with an encouragement to notice the signposts of God in everyday life — from sunsets and number systems to conscience and longing — a musical selection by Dale, and an invitation for listeners to respond to heaven's call or request pastoral help in taking the next step.   Handout:   Why it Makes Sense to Believe in God — Hiram Kemp  1. _______________________________ (Romans 1:20)    2. ________________________________ (Job 38:4-5)    3. ________________________________ (Genesis 1:26-27)    4. ________________________ & ______________________ (Romans 2:14-15)    5. ________________________________ (Ecclesiastes 3:11)    6. ________________________________ (Romans 8:24)    7. ________________________________ (1 John 4:7-8)    8. ________________________________ (Acts 17:26-28)   Duration 34:46

Predicación del domingo 12 de abril de 2026 - 8:00 a.m.

April 12, 2026 - Sunday AM Sermon This episode is a sermon-style exploration of Matthew 17 (the Mount of Transfiguration) that uses a memorable vision-clinic analogy to show how Scripture reveals Jesus as he truly is. Hiram traces a pattern across Matthew and the Old Testament: God often calls people "up the mountain" to give clearer spiritual sight. The message weaves narrative, biblical exposition, and practical application. Topics covered include the role of mountaintop experiences in Scripture, the Mount of Transfiguration itself, and five central lessons the disciples received there: a higher calling, the glorious appearing of Christ, the danger of misplacing glory, the imperative to hear and obey Jesus, and the comfort believers can enjoy. The sermon references numerous passages (Matthew 4–28, Exodus, Deuteronomy, Isaiah, Psalms, Philippians, 2 Peter, 2 Corinthians, Romans, Hebrews, and others) and illustrations (including the Hudson River airplane landing) to clarify spiritual altitude and transformation. There are no external guests — this is a focused teaching delivered by the sermon speaker — and it includes pastoral invitations for listeners: unbelievers are called to believe in Jesus and be baptized, while believers are urged to answer God's upward call, stop spiritual coasting, and respond to the written and spoken Word by listening and obeying. The message concludes with a reminder that the transfiguration points forward to the believer's future glorification and that seeing Jesus clearly brings comfort, courage, and renewed commitment.   Handout:  On the Mountain — Hiram Kemp  (Matthew 17:1-8)  1. _______________________ Calling (Matthew 17:1)    2.

April 5, 2026 - Sunday PM Sermon   In this episode Hiram recounts a March 23–31 mission trip to southern Nigeria with a team of ten Americans — including Brian and Sondra Davis of World Bible School, Daniel Gaines, Keefka Sargent, Bill Pennell, Chad Wagner (trip leader), Brittany, and others — to teach, encourage, and serve alongside Nigerian Christians. The group worked with Western Nigeria Christian College (WNCC) and Nigerian Christian Bible College (NCBC), participated in the Great Workshop (about 450 preachers) whose theme emphasized making mission and evangelism a priority, and taught across primary schools, Bible colleges, and congregations such as the Two Towns Church of Christ. The episode highlights ministry moments: a visit to a prison where 12 young men were baptized, extended jail ministries started by former inmates like Vincent, training sessions for seasoned and newly trained preachers, and hands-on use of World Bible School extension programs. The team taught breakout sessions on mobilizing youth, preaching and biblical fidelity, and a women's session on how to flourish as a Christian woman in a busy world. The colleges discussed are government-accredited and house both preaching schools and vocational training so ministers can support themselves while serving. Cultural vignettes and travel details bring the trip to life — local hospitality (staying in members' homes, a legacy guestbook), lively breakfasts, local cuisine experiments, aggressive traffic and horn-driven driving, and the warmth and constant smiles of Nigerian Christians. Hiram also describes translating challenges in Uyo, the presence of armed security at the workshop due to regional risks, and the national religious landscape that includes Pentecostalism, Jehovah's Witnesses, and other faiths. Through the trip Hiram draws seven lessons (an acrostic from the name NIGERIA): you're Never alone; Infectious joy; the Gospel works everywhere; Eagerness for the Word; Radical hospitality; Immediate obedience; and Acts of faith. These lessons are illustrated with personal stories — such as Vincent's jail baptisms, a breakout session that sparked immediate repentance and commitments to involve youth, and the story of American donor-turned-missionary Bill Pennell — to show how the gospel changes lives and sustains long-term ministry. The episode balances pastoral reflection with practical takeaways: how training and extension schools equip leaders, why hospitality and vocational training matter for sustainable ministry, and how immediate obedience and contagious joy drive growth even amid poverty or persecution. It closes with an invitation consistent with the New Testament call to repent, confess, and be baptized, and a reminder that the same gospel heard in Nigeria is still powerful and operative everywhere.   Duration 38:00

March 22, 2026 - Sunday PM Sermon In this episode Hiram unpacks six foundational but often-missed truths about the character of God, weaving Scripture, real-life anecdotes, and pastoral counsel. Beginning with a humorous opening about a missed celebrity encounter, he moves quickly to the heart of the sermon: the need-to-know God as he truly is, not as we imagine him. Hiram explores the tension between God's love and his holiness, showing from Romans, Exodus, and the prophets that God is both tender and fearsome—merciful yet just. He emphasizes that an accurate view of God requires holding these attributes in balance so we neither treat God as permissive nor view him only as wrathful. The episode also addresses common misconceptions: God does not need us (Acts 17, Psalm 50), yet he chooses and desires relationship with us (John 15). Hiram explains God's nearness—"He's not far from any one of us"—and how that closeness should shape our repentance and daily living. He illustrates how God uses limited, imperfect people (1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians) to display his power and glory, and discusses the idea that God will sometimes give people over to their chosen consequences (Romans 1) when they persistently reject truth. Finally, the sermon brings hope: God forgives. Hiram highlights passages that promise cleansing and full pardon for those who repent and believe (1 John, Acts, Psalm 103), urging listeners not to delay coming to God because of fear or shame. The message concludes with an invitation to respond, a worship moment led by Jer, and practical encouragement for anyone seeking prayer, baptism, or forgiveness. What to expect: Scripture-rich teaching, pastoral stories, clear gospel invitations, and practical application—suitable for those curious about the Christian faith and for believers wanting a clearer, balanced vision of God's justice, mercy, and presence.   Handout: How to Age Well as a Christian   Hiram Kemp    1.

March 22, 2026 - Sunday AM Sermon In this sermon-style episode, speaker Hiram explores the mismatch between common ideas of God, and the portrait Scripture gives us. Drawing on passages from Isaiah, Romans, Exodus, Acts, Hebrews, Psalms and more, Hiram lays out six key truths most people miss about God and explains why they matter for everyday faith. First, Hiram shows that God is both deeply loving and genuinely fearsome: not a one-dimensional kindness nor an unrelenting judge, but a holy God who balances mercy with seriousness (Romans 11; Exodus 34; Nahum 1). Second, the sermon emphasizes that God does not need us — He is self-sufficient and triune — yet He freely chooses us out of love (Acts 17; John 15; Zephaniah 3). Hiram unpacks how this truth reshapes worship, service and our motives. Third, Hiram reminds listeners that God is closer than we often think: omnipresent, intimately involved, and near to the brokenhearted (Acts 17; Psalm 139; Hebrews 4). This nearness is presented as both comfort and accountability. Fourth and fifth, the talk confronts our assumptions about usefulness and consequence: God uses weak and limited people so His power is displayed (1 Corinthians; 2 Corinthians), and He will, at times, give people over to the consequences of their choices (Romans 1; Genesis). These sober truths are balanced with hope. Finally, Hiram affirms the Bible's promise of forgiveness — God delights to forgive when we repent (1 John 1; Acts 2; Psalm 103) — and urges listeners not to let fear or shame keep them from confessing and receiving mercy. The episode mixes theological depth with practical application, scriptural cross-references, contemporary illustrations (including a modern AI analogy), and a call to respond for repentance, baptism and community support. This is a focused, pastoral message intended to correct mistaken images of God and invite listeners to know Him rightly.   Handout:  Things Most People Don't Know About God  Hiram Kemp    1. God is Both _______________ & _______________  (Romans 11:22)       2. God ______________ Not Need ________________ (Acts 17:24-25)      3.
