June 14, 2026 - Sunday PM Sermon   This episode opens with announcements about the church's monthly song service. Neal references Miller's reading from Isaiah 62 and links the gathering to an old-fashioned hymn-singing tradition as well as a 21st-century request process. The main message examines what it means to be called a "Christian" in the New Testament (Acts and 1 Peter), noting the title is rare in Scripture but rich in meaning: a disciple who is taught, someone to be persuaded toward faith, and one who may suffer for that name. The speaker names biblical examples (Ananias, Paul, Barnabas, and scenes from Acts) to illustrate how new believers in the early church experienced joy and transformation. The sermon then gives five core reasons the Christian life is described as the greatest life: (1) sins are forgiven through Christ; (2) joy that does not depend on sinful pleasure; (3) a deeper, God-given purpose lived out in the church; (4) temporal problems that do not have permanent hold over the believer; and (5) a secure eternal future beyond this life. Scriptural support is cited throughout, including Romans, Ephesians, 1 Peter, Philippians, and other passages. The speaker contrasts Christian hope with cultural alternatives — evolution, humanism, materialism, and Epicureanism — arguing that those worldviews leave people aimless, while the gospel gives lasting meaning, joy, and forgiveness. Personal and contemporary illustrations are used, including references to missions (Hyrum and Brittany's trip to Nigeria) and local baptisms that mirror the joy recorded in Acts. Practical challenges are addressed: the need for ongoing teaching and discipleship for those who say they are Christian but lack instruction, the process of persuasion and questioning for new converts, and the reality that faith sometimes costs relationships or comfort. Yet the repeated encouragement is that faith brings real, durable blessings. The episode closes with an invitation: whether you are a faithful Christian encouraged to live confidently (but humbly) in a skeptical world, someone who needs restoration after turning away, or a listener considering faith for the first time, you are urged to respond in obedience to the gospel and to come forward if moved during the closing singing.   Duration 29:55

The Living Connection Between Word and Spirit In this episode of For Zion's Sake, hosts Shelley and June Volk—Jewish believers dedicated to seeing Jew and Gentile become one in faith—explore the deep, structural connection between the written Word of God and the active presence of the Holy Spirit. Key Takeaways The Anchor Verse (John 6:63): The episode centers on Jesus' declaration: "It is the Spirit who gives life... the words that I speak to you are spirit and they are life." The hosts emphasize that without the Holy Spirit, scripture remains a dead letter; with the Spirit, it becomes an active, life-giving force. The Spirit as God’s Heart-Revealer: Reading from 1 Corinthians 2, June points out that just as no one knows a person's inner motives except their own spirit, no one can truly know the thoughts and heart of God except the Spirit of God. She notes that born-again believers have this "Spirit of truth" living within them to guide daily life and bring personal transformation. Demonstration of Power (1 Corinthians 2:1–5): Shelley highlights the Apostle Paul’s approach to preaching, noting that Paul didn't rely on superior human intellect or persuasive words of wisdom. Instead, his message was a direct demonstration of the Spirit and power, ensuring that listeners' faith rested on God rather than human philosophy. A Multi-Generational Promise: Turning to the Old Testament covenant in Isaiah 59:21, the hosts discuss God's promise that His Spirit and Words will not depart from His people or their descendants. June shares a personal family testimony, tracing how this promise came alive in their own lives—from their radical conversion in 1976 to seeing their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren actively living out the faith. The Spirit Precedes the Word: Shelley looks back at Genesis 1 to show a divine pattern: the Spirit of God moved over the face of the waters before God spoke light into existence. He connects this to the New Testament (Acts 4 and Acts 13), where believers were first filled with the Holy Spirit before they could speak the Word of God with boldness. Shelly has served the body of Christ as a Pastor for over 35 years. He is a bible teacher and conference speaker on the subjects of The Kingdom of God, The Mystery of Israel & The Church and for God’s people to be prepared in their hearts for the end of this age. https://shellyandjunevolk.com/Support the show: https://shellyandjunevolk.com/product/partner-with-us-psalm-127-fund/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
