85 Years Old and Still Preaching: Why Al Baird Refuses to Retire What keeps a Christian faithful, fruitful, and full of vision at 85 years old? In this inspiring episode, Rob sits down with Dr. Al Baird, longtime church leader, teacher, and disciple-maker, who is still actively preaching and helping churches grow decades into his Christian journey. After losing his wife Gloria following 56 years of marriage, Al faced the challenge of finding purpose in a new season of life. Rather than slowing down, he accepted an opportunity to help revitalize the church in Bakersfield, California—a congregation that had lost momentum, vision, and hope. In this conversation, Al shares: • Why every Christian needs a dream • How he navigated life after losing Gloria • The opportunity he saw in Bakersfield • What happens when churches lose vision • Why retirement can be one of the most powerful seasons of ministry • How contribution and participation began growing again • Lessons learned from decades of ministry • The incredible example of George and Irene Gurganus • Why Christians should never retire spiritually • Practical advice for staying faithful over the long haul This conversation is filled with wisdom, perspective, and encouragement for Christians of every age. If you've ever wondered how to finish strong, this episode is for you. Connect with Rob:

Garth Heckman TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com The David Alliance  Can opener What is it? How do I use it? Where do I use it? Why do I use it?      My Natural gifts are leadership, communication,          (Preached when I was 14, spoke for Mayor Pawlenty, spoke infant of 20K- never nervous) My physical gifting is balance, strength, I could skate, ski, snowboard great for a husky kid My Spiritual gifting is Evangelism, Apostleship, Preaching/teaching, giving My Soul gifting is creativity, music, poetry - written 100's songs, books for Hal Leonard My Mental gifting is prolonged focus, grind, discipline AND AN IDGAF ATTITUDE These are all waves… but when they tune into the frequency that God has for me it intensifies my life in His purpose.    **BUT HANG 3 PICTURES ON A WALL… NEVER!          Liars club and old show - What's this for? What is its purpose. David Letterman got his start here…    When I tested in high school it said you should be a professional clown, a comedian or an actor/singer. I guess I'm all three today.   I took a test when I was in my late 20's at a conference. Basically it took questions and pictures of your formative years and helped you weave insight into your gifting… My Storie board growing up helped me understand that I was doing exactly what I should be doing… But none of these told me my purpose.    Mark Twain is widely credited with the famous quote: "The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.   a 1970 sermon by the Rev. Ernest T. Campbell at the Riverside Church in New York.

*This Episode was originally published on 9/15/2025. In this week's episode, Dr. Jared Bumpers is joined by Dr. Geoff Chang as they discuss “The Spirituality of Charles Spurgeon.” Dr. Chang The post The Spirituality of Charles Spurgeon appeared first on Preaching and Preachers Institute.

Over the summer, we will be taking a look at the original ten commandments that God has set in stone for us all those years ago! This week, Pastor Bobby looks at the fifth commandment: Honor your father and mother.

Victory in Jesus is not only about beginning the race. It is about finishing the race with faithfulness, obedience, and love for Christ. Rich Guerra shares the powerful story of his grandfather, whose encounter with Jesus in a revival tent changed the direction of his family for generations. One decision to surrender to Christ became a legacy of faith that reached his children, grandchildren, and beyond. In the same way, the decisions we make today can impact the generations that come after us. Preaching from Galatians 5:7–8 and 1 Corinthians 9:24, Rich asks a direct question: will you run to win? He reminds us that many people start well, but not everyone finishes well. The Christian life requires endurance, responsibility, perseverance, renewed love, connection to the body of Christ, and simple daily obedience. “Many start well, but they don't finish well,” Rich said. He also declared, “There are no winners and losers in God's kingdom. There's just finishers and quitters.” This message gives practical biblical lessons for anyone who wants to finish strong. Refuse to blame others for your struggles. Don't quit when life gets hard. Restore the love of your calling. Don't try to do it alone. Remain in Christ, stay connected, and keep obeying God one day at a time. The application is clear: the baton is in your hands. Others have run before you, and generations may be affected by how you run now. Keep your eyes on Jesus, refuse to give up, and run the race to finish well.

Gary Wilkerson's first message at Spiritual Emphasis began with a powerful call to worship, inviting the room to slow down, praise Jesus with real words, and behold the beauty of the Savior. Drawing from the hymn “Fairest Lord Jesus” and the writings of Samuel Rutherford, Gary reminded us that Jesus is more beautiful, more glorious, and more sufficient than anything creation can offer. Preaching from Romans 5:15–21, Gary then unpacked the difference between Adam's trespass and Christ's free gift. Through one man, Adam, sin entered the world and brought death, guilt, condemnation, and separation from God. But through one man, Jesus Christ, grace abounded, righteousness was given, and eternal life became available to all who believe. “The free gift is different,” Gary said. Adam unleashed sin into the world, but Jesus absorbed it on the cross. Adam's disobedience made many sinners, but Christ's obedience makes many righteous. What Adam brought through sin, Jesus reversed through grace. This message calls us to receive the full confidence of what Jesus has done. In Christ, we are not simply trying to act righteous. We have been made righteous. We are not the old person we once were. We are a new creation, cleansed by the blood of Jesus and held securely in His hand. The application is simple and life changing: do not call unclean what God has made clean. Start speaking, believing, and living from the truth of who you are in Christ. The old has passed away, the new has come, and grace reigns through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Mark's story includes an atheist upbringing in Ontario, a late-teen conversion, a dream of becoming an academic at Oxford, and a call to plant a church in one of the most secular corners of North America. What began with sixteen people in his living room grew into one of the fastest-growing churches in Canada, and Mark reflects with both gratitude and candor on the road that took him there.Jason and Mark talk about the patience that shaped their early ministry years, waiting for the right time, the right people, and the right season to plant churches. Mark opens up his convictions around preaching, describing how he learned to speak to the skeptic and the lifelong believer in the same room, and why he refuses to choose between reaching the lost and discipling the found. He's also honest about the cost of leading through rapid growth, including the burnout seasons that left him preaching dizzy and gripping the pulpit to stay upright.The conversation also turns to what it meant to leave the church he founded and entrust it to leaders he loves, and the insecurity that keeps many leaders from transitioning. Drawing on Zechariah 10, he candidly describes his calling as making warhorses out of sheep, a vision he holds with both conviction and a winsome humilityIn this episode you'll hear:How an atheist kid from Ontario became a church planter in one of Canada's most secular cities,Why patience, the right time, people, and season, mattered more than urgency in the plant,How to preach to the skeptic and the lifelong believer in the same room,What the burnout seasons cost Mark, and the team decision that reshaped his preaching,Why he left the church he founded, and what it's been like to watch it flourish under new leadership,How Zechariah 10 reframed his calling around raising and releasing the next generation of leaders.PartnersWould you consider giving to our summer match campaign?

1 Peter 3:8-178Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. 9Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. 10For“Whoever desires to love life    and see good days,let him keep his tongue from evil    and his lips from speaking deceit;11let him turn away from evil and do good;    let him seek peace and pursue it.12For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,    and his ears are open to their prayer.But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”13Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? 14But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, 15but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, 16having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. 17For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.

Why does the world feel both beautiful and broken? In Week 1 of The Story We're In, we explore Genesis 1–3 and uncover the biblical story behind our deepest longings, our fractured relationships, and our hope for the future. As we examine God's good design and humanity's rebellion, we see both the beauty of shalom and the brokenness introduced by the Fall, while discovering God's promise of redemption that points forward to Jesus and the restoration of all things.Check out the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrCSupport the show

Genesis 9:1-17 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - Politicians sway this way and that. Countries take various positions on fundamental issues. Yet, Christians have a pretty consistent history when it comes to their stance on life. And that's because the Author of Life is the only one who has the right to give it and take it away. We mustn't play God and take life into our own hands. Instead, we need to recognize that from the womb to the tomb we are not our own. We belong body and soul to God. So, may the Lord help us value life like he does. If it matters to God, it should matter to us.

One Generation From Extinction: Purity in Crisis

The Most High Rules: No Other God Like This

Every human being has troubles. And sometimes our troubles overwhelm us. We live in a culture that encourages us to turn inward and endlessly process our troubles, yet this self-focused rumination often distorts our theology and leaves us doubting God's goodness. In this sermon, we look at how Psalm 77 calls God's people to shift their gaze from their own internal pain to God's steady faithfulness.

Long before David and Goliath face one another in the Valley of Elah, the ground beneath them already carries a history. The terebinth tree stands as a witness to conversations unfinished, conflicts unresolved, and stories that continue shaping the present long after they seem forgotten. In this sermon from Eshel: Preaching the Trees, we consider how buried history influences the lives we live today. Scripture reminds us that no moment arrives in isolation. We inherit relationships, wounds, promises, and questions from those who came before us. This message reflects on memory, reconciliation, and the courage required to face what remains unfinished. Sometimes faithfulness begins not by moving on, but by paying attention to the stories that still live beneath the surface. Part of the Eshel: Preaching the Trees series. Sermon by Rev. Amos J. Disasa. Subscribe for weekly sermons from First Presbyterian Church of Dallas. fpcdallas.org

As we continue in our new series on the Foundations of the Church, Pastor Josiah built on what we looked at last week, as he examined the supernatural change that comes from the proclamation of God's word. No matter who you are or where you've come from, we all must be born again in order to be part of God's family and gain access into his Kingdom. In his exposition of John 3:1-21, Pastor Josiah showed us how Christ's church is made up of sinful people who have been born from above and are being made new by the power of the Holy Spirit!
