This week, W. Tyler Sykora joins Jared Bumpers to discuss “Preaching and Biblical Backgrounds.” Dr. Sykora is the Chief of Staff in the Office of the President and Assistant Professor The post Preaching and Biblical Backgrounds appeared first on Preaching and Preachers Institute.

A locked garage behind a quiet holiday cottage. A car filling with exhaust. And two bodies posed to tell a simple story: a suicide pact between two “betrayed” spouses.On May 19, 1991, in Castlerock, Northern Ireland, Lesley Howell (31) and Trevor Buchanan (32) are found dead inside a vehicle with a hose running from the exhaust into the car—an apparent double suicide that the community quickly accepts. Lesley is a mother of four. Trevor is a police constable and father. Both are mourned as victims of heartbreak and scandal.But the truth is darker—and it doesn't surface for nearly two decades.Behind the public grief, investigators will later learn, a secret affair and a ruthless plan were allegedly shaping events from the shadows. Colin Howell, a respected dentist and lay preacher, and Hazel Buchanan (later Hazel Stewart) are accused of plotting to remove their spouses and stage the scene to look like a tragic decision. The story moves from a “straightforward” death scene to something far more chilling: sedation, exhaust fumes, meticulous staging, and a lie that holds until January 2009, when Colin Howell finally breaks and confesses—first to church elders, then to police.The confession reopens everything. Hazel is arrested. In court, the case becomes a battle over what was done, what was admitted, and whether Hazel's role was coerced or fully complicit. The old garage scene is re-examined with a new question: not why would they do this? but who benefits if everyone believes they did?Inside this episodeThe discovery in Castlerock and why police initially believed it was a double suicideThe secret relationship hiding in plain sight inside a tight religious communityThe alleged method: sedatives + exhaust fumes and the “suicide pact” stagingHow the case stayed buried—until a confession detonated it in 2009The interrogation dispute: coercion vs. participationThe courtroom reckoning and the verdict that finally rewrote the official storyThis is a true crime nightmare about image, faith, control, and deception—and how a staged scene can trap the truth for years. We're telling that story tonight. 

Morning sermon from 8th March 2026. Preacher Tom Cox

Topical Sermons / Speaker:Berry Kercheville “And He Gave Evangelists…” (3) Introduction: Purpose of these lessons: Understanding the need of and the work of an evangelist is critical whether you stay at this church or must relocate. It is disturbing to often see both evangelists and shepherds who do not know or practice what God called them to do. Ephesians 4:11-16 reminds us of the importance of evangelists and shepherds in a local church as gifts God has given to equip Christians so that every part of the body can do its share, which causes the growth of the body and the edifying of itself in love. My primary purpose in these lessons has been to call attention to the great need we have throughout the brotherhood to raise up evangelists and shepherds who truly reflect God's purposes in Ephesians 4:11-16. The work of evangelists has especially been an enigma to Christians everywhere partially because we evangelists tend not to say much about our work and also because there are considerable differences in how preachers do their work. Thus it is easy for Christians to be confused about what the word is supposed to be and what we should look for in a preacher.  In this final lesson of our series we will consider the challenges & expectations of a prospective preacher and the challenges of a church in their relationship with him and his work. The Preacher and the Local Church Woodland Hills is not a typical church, especially when it comes to preaching and teaching. Not many churches have the number of men and women who possess the drive and desire to know God's word and the talent to teach/preach the word. Because of you, such desire and talent becomes contagious, causing others to want to join in the effort.  Ephesians 4:15-16 “…Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. That's God's goal and purpose for us and the elders and I love the work and progress in that regard. The church is learning to build itself up in love. Beautiful. Therefore, training other men to teach and preach (who have no plans of full-time preaching) is vital to the future and health of a church. We need future shepherds who have been trained and practiced in preaching and teaching. That has been a major failure in many congregations. Ephesians 4:11-16 includes the shepherds in equipping the saints.  Preaching and teaching creates a maturing of the church as a whole. Ephesians 4:15— Maturity is indicated by the ability to speak the truth in love.  Remember, we have a responsibility to the kingdom, not just to this church. Preparing and training men and women to teach (2 Timothy 2:2) is important for the kingdom as a whole when some of our members have the need to move to others areas (Julie is teaching a woman in Florence, AL that may never have heard the gospel if she did not move there).  However, as mentioned previously, there is more to the work of an evangelist than just a sermon. It is not uncommon for a men to get good at preaching a sermon, and then decide that qualifies them to be an evangelist. Or, the church decides we do not need a preacher because the men can just do the preaching. This has led to the increasing problem for churches who have a man who never trained and therefore does not understand the work. He can give a sermon, but does not know how to lead and equip the church in evangelism and spiritual growth. A topical sermon once a week is not going to do that.  The last two churches Teresa and I visited were clearly floundering. The goal of the church was to just to have a worship service and have someone preach a sermon. The sermons were “okay” but were not with purpose or direction to equip the church for the goal of Ephesians 4.  Two problems typically exist: Visitors will never come back for that kind of preaching, nor will members do any inviting. Evangelism is simply not on the radar. In fact, the only “evangelism” done is “church-building evangelism”—if the lost want to be saved, they know where we are!  It may surprise you, but the most important part of a good preacher training program is the amount of time the one being trained spends with the preacher! (Many preachers do not do this because it is so time-consuming) When we see training in the NT, it is on the job; it is a mentorship. When I train, the man goes with me to all studies so he can see and learn. He is with me in the “office next door” so that I'm available to him every time he has a question. Many hours are spent with me preparing him with my years of experience so that he is ready to face the work by himself.  [Recent young man was told he was “ready” after preaching a few sermons]. I know what it is like to start preaching without a mentor who can give me his experience. (1) Years of trial and error and bad mistakes. (2) Unimaginable stress. (3) A church that has to deal with my inexperience. The above also brings up the importance of a good church who is patient with an evangelist (young, but also the older!). Doctors speak of their work as a “practice,” and so it is with a preacher, there is always growth and learning that must continue. What a Church (and Preacher) Need to Know about Preaching (Seven General Abilities and Traits Needed to Preach) A passion and ability to study the scriptures—“But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:14-17).   A willingness and ability to teach the word both to Christians and to the lost—“For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control…what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also…do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry” (2 Timothy 1:6-7; 2:2; 4:5). An evangelist should always be looking for an opportunity. This is not about just teaching at the building. A passion and skill to preach—“…devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching…Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching” (1 Timothy 4:13; 2 Timothy 4:2). There are two extremes: (1) “I just like to preach,” and (2) “I would prefer to just teach the lost.” Disciplined work habits—“Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you. Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress” (1 Timothy 4:14-15). A person who loves people, is good with people; friendly, loving, and caring—“And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness…” (2 Timothy 2:24-25). True also of shepherds! Some preachers are loners. Some spend too much time with members, they do not study enough. A person who has an exemplary lifestyle—“an example to the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity…Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers” (1 Timothy 4:12, 16). You are a Christian first, then a Christian who preaches.  A person who is able to handle the pressure and stress of the job—“As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry” (2 Timothy 4:5). Preacher Challenges a Church Needs to Know Every preacher will occasionally fall into a “rut” that he is not aware of, whether in sermon delivery or sermon topics. Examples: Filler words: um, uh, like, “right” (at the end of a sentence), just, etc.  Length of sermon (which is usually just trying to cover more material that can be comfortably assimilated for the time period given). Over-estimating the audience given the “brief” setting of our worship. An FC lecture is 50 minutes given to people who are expecting it. Further, there is not an 90 minute worship lead up to the lecture. Wanting to tell you everything we have studied and thus, adding points into a sermon, that though interesting, are not necessary to the message of the sermon, and therefore detract from the message. Especially in this regard, a sermon must be different than a Bible class. More details can be given in a class setting than in a sermon. The above is where members can come to the rescue! “Did you realize that you have been doing “thus and so” in your preaching?  The challenge of preaching to the new Christian and the mature Christian.  Preparing a sermon is not like “making a widget” or baking an apple pie for the one hundredth time. Each week starts from scratch. Each week is a brand new creative challenge. There is no doubt sermons would be better and possibly avoid some pitfalls if we could spend 40 hours to prepare a sermon instead of 15. But that would neglect teaching the lost and other parts of the work.  Many times members are amazed with how great a “meeting preacher” is with his sermons. And I completely agree. But I can tell you that if you go online and listen to this same preacher every week at his home church, it will be good, but usually not as great as the meeting sermons. Why? If he does a lot of meetings, he will have preached and refined the meeting sermons many times. That isn't possible with the first time he preaches it at the home church. Question: Is it acceptable to have a preacher who does not in some way lead the church in and participate in sharing the gospel with the lost? To be sure, all preachers have different talents. Some of us are not very good at setting up Bible studies with the lost (we often do not have many opportunities). But, there is no excuse for not doing “your share” with the abilities you do have.  Paul tells Timothy, “If you put these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed…Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.” (1 Timothy 4:6, 12) I have known preachers to say, “I'm just not good at evangelism.” I'm sorry, you must be misunderstanding what God is requiring here: If you know enough about the Bible to preach a sermon, you surely known enough to teach Mark and Acts to someone who is lost. And you certainly should be working on your knowledge & skills of teaching and answering commonly asked questions. [my beginning was without any knowledge of how to reach the lost] You may feel inadequate in a conversation with a person you do not know well, but (1) you can practice just getting to know a person, and (2) you can rely on other Christians and their talents to bring you opportunities. It is one things to feel inadequate (Moses certainly did, as many of the prophets), but it is another to take on the role of an evangelist and decide not to do evangelism Conclusion: I hope these lessons have helped you better understand the need of evangelists and the challenges of both churches and evangelists. All of us need to be a part of encouraging and promoting the preparation needed to produce evangelists an shepherds in a local church. It starts at a young age!

Hebrews 5:11-14, 6:1-12 “Heart Check”Series: Jesus is Greater Than Preacher: Will SpinkSunday MorningDate: 8th March 2026Passage: Hebrews 5:11-14

Back again with the good news from on high... The Country Preacher has spread the gospel, a gospel of liberation, and gospel of power, econmoic power, red, black and green... know what I mean! He preached a gospel born of exclusion demanding a seat at the table not for just him and his but for all regardless of gender, race or creed. Shouting let freedom ring!! The Rev. Jesse Louis Jackson transcended this earthly plane on February 17th 2026 and when he was a young freedom fighter in Chicago - planning, organizing and fighting for a better day, he inspired a young Jazz pianist named Josef Zawinul (who happened to be in a quintet led by the great Cannonball Adderley) to compose a song in his honor. He named the tune "Country Preacher". Josef Zawinul was an Austrian immigrant who came to NYC with his parents and fell in love with Jazz Culture. He got his start playing soulful jazz with Cannonball Adderley in the 1960's and later went on to become one of the greatest electronic keyboardist of the 20th century. He was instrumental in developing Jazz Fusion alongside saxophonist Wayne Shorter with the creation of the group Weather Report in the early 1970's. You can't get more Jazz than that.... Jazz is about different sounds and cultures, conversations if you will, learning how to work together to create something new and spontaneous and beautiful with chords and melody. On this episode I touch on the legacy of Jesse Jackson and of course bring all "You Young Jazz Lovers" a whole lot of good, good Jazz music. So... exercise your freedom to enjoy this most democratic of all art forms... Jazz Music Born in America, Enjoyed Worldwide.

Why Guarding Your Heart & Mind Is EssentialScripture: Proverbs 4:23 — “Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it spring the issues of life.”Proverbs doesn't say to guard your heart casually.

No Compromise Radio “Always biblical, always provocative, always in that order.” Video Episode 53: “The Prophetic Office" Hosts: Pastor Mike Abendroth (Pastor & Author) Produced/Edited By: Marrio Escobar (Owner of D2L Productions)    In this episode of No-Co Radio, Pastor Mike and his son, Luke, transition from their previous discussions on family life and current events to focus deeply on the theology and practice of preaching . The conversation centers on Jesus Christ as the "Prince of Preachers" and explores His "prophetic office"—one part of the threefold office of prophet, priest, and king. Mike and Luke discuss the distinctions between preaching and teaching, suggesting that while teaching may focus on technical exegesis, preaching is a special, ordained act intended to give Christ to people burdened by sin and trials . They also provide guidance on how congregants should evaluate a church, urging listeners to prioritize the "three marks" of a true church—faithful preaching of the gospel, proper administration of the sacraments, and church discipline—over secondary factors like musical style or facility amenities . The episode concludes with a reflection on the ultimate purpose of ministry: consistently revealing the "glories of Christ" to the congregation .   Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/boyDuXBaZps 

On today's episode, we discuss how modern scholarship approaches the question of what Jesus thought his role would be between his resurrection and a future return, often called the “church age.” The panel welcomes Pastor Jimmy Williams, seminary student Jim Wilkerson, and several family voices to unpack dense theological ideas in a conversational way. They walk through three major methodological streams in historical Jesus studies—criteria/form-critical work, the continuum view of Jesus as a Palestinian Jew who birthed Christianity, and social or reception-history approaches—explaining how each shapes our picture of Jesus' self-understanding. Along the way, they introduce concepts like “double dissimilarity” and wrestle with scholars who argue that Jesus expected an imminent end of the world without anticipating a long intervening church age. The discussion also touches on debates such as whether women can be preachers and how broader philosophical traditions influence contemporary theology. Throughout, the hosts balance serious academic content with Marine humor, family banter, and practical reflections on why Jesus' view of his ongoing role still matters for believers today. Don't miss it!

The Vanity of Life Under the Sun Without the Son, Pt. 4Despair to JoyEcclesiastes 2:2-26 | King's Chapel Live StreamWhat happens when even wisdom cannot protect you from death? When hard work does not guarantee lasting reward? When both the wise and the fool share the same fate?In Ecclesiastes 2, Solomon reflects on the limits of wisdom, achievement, and effort. He admits that wisdom is better than folly and light is better than darkness. Yet even the wise are forgotten. Even the diligent lose what they have built. Even the careful planner cannot escape death. The result is heartbreak and despair under the sun.This message wrestles honestly with the futility of life when viewed apart from God. The Preacher confesses that he gave his heart to despair over all his labor. Many of us know that feeling. We work, strive, build, and pursue, yet still sense something slipping through our fingers.But Ecclesiastes does not end in despair. It shifts toward gift. Life, food, work, joy, and satisfaction are not things we manufacture. They are gifts from the hand of God. When life is received from the Son rather than chased under the sun, everything changes.Even the longing expressed in songs like Roll Away Your Stone echoes this reality. We try to fill the fragile places in our souls with things that cannot hold. Yet grace welcomes us again and again. It is not the long walk home that changes the heart. It is the welcome we receive.If you have felt the weight of futility or questioned whether your work really matters, this message invites you to stop striving for control and begin receiving life as a gift from God.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborEcclesiastes 2 sermon, futility of life Bible, meaning of work sermon, despair and hope Ecclesiastes, King's Chapel Longwood FL, life as a gift from God, wisdom and death sermon, biblical view of success and failure

I've actually moved from the “slough of despond” to the estuary of seasons 7 and 8 of the podcast. The Lord pushed me out of the swamp in a surprising way. In this episode, we discuss the depressed state briefly, and God pulling me out. Then we review our prayer theme for season 8:“Strive to make prayer, and reading, and holy company, and holy conference your delight; and when delight cometh in, ye shall by little and little smell the sweetness of Christ, till at length your soul be over head and ears in Christ's sweetness.” - Samuel Rutherford.Our So What?We are encouraged to “make prayer and reading, and holy company, and holy conference,” with our God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, resulting in the sweet knowledge and experience of Him. And this is eternal life, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent. John 17:3“Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen”1 Timothy 1:17Brethren, let's pray for one another."What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

Self-help culture teaches people to make themselves the center of everything, but Ecclesiastes exposes the emptiness of that idea. Life cannot be fully controlled, predicted, or made safe, and trying to do so only leads to frustration. Ecclesiastes stands alongside Proverbs and Job. Proverbs shows how life usually works, Job shows undeserved suffering, and Ecclesiastes shows that even having everything—wealth, wisdom, pleasure, and power—still leaves a person empty. The author repeats the word hevel (meaning vapor or futility) to show that life without God feels temporary and meaningless. When life is viewed only “under the sun,” everything fades, and nothing lasts. But that emptiness points to something deeper: our longing for meaning is evidence that we were made for more than this world. The final hope is found in God's promise to restore all things. Communion reminds believers that this broken world is not the end, but a preview of the greater reality still to come.
