Lamentations 3:1–33 (Listen) Great Is Your Faithfulness 3:1 I am the man who has seen affliction under the rod of his wrath;2 he has driven and brought me into darkness without any light;3 surely against me he turns his hand again and again the whole day long. 4 He has made my flesh and my skin waste away; he has broken my bones;5 he has besieged and enveloped me with bitterness and tribulation;6 he has made me dwell in darkness like the dead of long ago. 7 He has walled me about so that I cannot escape; he has made my chains heavy;8 though I call and cry for help, he shuts out my prayer;9 he has blocked my ways with blocks of stones; he has made my paths crooked. 10 He is a bear lying in wait for me, a lion in hiding;11 he turned aside my steps and tore me to pieces; he has made me desolate;12 he bent his bow and set me as a target for his arrow. 13 He drove into my kidneys the arrows of his quiver;14 I have become the laughingstock of all my people,1 the object of their taunts all day long.15 He has filled me with bitterness; he has sated me with wormwood. 16 He has made my teeth grind on gravel, and made me cower in ashes;17 my soul is bereft of peace; I have forgotten what happiness2 is;18 so I say, “My endurance has perished; so has my hope from the LORD.” 19 Remember my affliction and my wanderings, the wormwood and the gall!20 My soul continually remembers it and is bowed down within me.21 But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: 22 The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;3 his mercies never come to an end;23 they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.24 “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”

On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson take up Christ the King Sunday texts. Here, they try to speak of Christ's true kingship as the sovereign of a new kingdom ruled by God's grace instead of the law. For those oppressed by accusation and judgment, this is surely good news. Paulson and Hoyum also provide an update on the future of the show.

Just like many of the golf courses around Augusta, Georgia, we too were designed by a creator. The ultimate designer of life itself, God, has designed each of us uniquely and perfectly to fulfill one purpose. We're going to take a journey over the next several weeks and look at what God's designed us to do, who He's designed us to be, and what we're called to do in the world that we live in.

In this message, Pastor Caleb discusses the name that God has for each of His people who are victorious over the spiritual enemies and this life's battles. Jesus gives His soldiers a white stone with a new name. That is one of the goals for Christians to not make a name for themselves but to build the name of Jesus Christ.

In this message, Pastor Caleb discusses the walls of Jericho that are fortified in the lives of God's people, but victory can be obtained if His people do not hinder its destruction. Sometimes Christians use their mouths to recreate the bricks for the walls of Jericho, even when they should be marching around its walls. May God's people obey His instructions and receive the victory God has for them. Do not hinder the walls of Jericho from falling.

In Luke 8, Jesus meets a man everyone else had given up on and shows that nothing is too broken or too far gone for him to reclaim. We're reminded that we have a Savior who refuses to let our past, our wounds, or our brokenness have the final word. Wherever you are today, there is hope—because Jesus is still rewriting stories.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrCSupport the show
Continuing our series, This Much I Know, we explore a foundational question: "Does the Church still matter?" In a moment marked by collapse, disconnection, trauma, and burnout, what does Jesus say about the future of His Church? Preaching from Matthew 16:13-19, Pastor Olu names today's crises while lifting our eyes to Christ's promise that "the gates of Hades will not overpower it." This message unpacks how the Church's proclamation, connection, and mission form God's pathway for transforming lives and society.

Psalm 18 - Speaker: Jotham Manoranjan - Psalm 18 is David's psalm of royal thanksgiving. He writes it as he looks back over decades of running, war, betrayal, and recounts the saving work of God in his life. The psalm traces a simple but profound storyline — Peril → Prayer → Rescue → Praise — as David, overwhelmed by the cords of death and torrents of destruction, cries out and is rescued by the living Lord who moves heaven and earth to save him. Yet the content is too big and too full to refer only to David. Who we find in this Psalm is Jesus Christ.

The King's Authority: Accept no Imitations
Christian maturity is a journey, not a destination.Every human being recognizes at some level that life is a journey full of ups and downs. Yet we're prone to seek out quick fixes and easy solutions. In this sermon, we explore Jesus's teaching that discipleship is a long, slow journey from pride to humility; from fear to faith, and from apathy to love.

There is a door, one door, and it is already open. It is open to you. It is open and all-sufficient to deal with your sin, your fear, your failure, your need.

Reaching Before Preaching by Bible Baptist Church - Brookings, SD
A message of character and integrity that is expected of us. Paying forward what has been done for us.
Liberty Church
This sermon presents a biblically grounded framework for achieving financial peace through faithful stewardship, emphasizing that true financial health begins with spiritual alignment and obedience to Scripture. It argues that financial struggles stem not from external circumstances but from poor stewardship, lack of contentment, and disobedience to God's principles—particularly the dangers of debt, the necessity of budgeting, and the call to prioritize heavenly treasures over earthly accumulation. The message underscores that God owns all things, and believers are entrusted with managing resources wisely by working diligently, spending less than they earn, saving for emergencies, and giving generously, all while rejecting the bondage of debt and the idolatry of money. Practical steps are introduced, including calculating net worth, creating a budget, and building an emergency fund, all rooted in the conviction that financial discipline is an act of faith and a reflection of one's relationship with Christ.
This sermon, rooted in Psalm 100 and structured around the four A's of thankfulness—awareness, acknowledgement, appreciation, and action—calls believers to embrace thankfulness not as a fleeting emotion but as a disciplined, intentional practice grounded in the unmerited grace of God. It emphasizes that Christian identity is inseparable from gratitude, highlighting God's sovereignty, mercy, and eternal truth as the foundation for joy and peace, especially in a culture marked by entitlement and distraction. The preacher challenges listeners to cultivate spiritual awareness by focusing on divine goodness amid life's trials, to consciously honor God's blessings, to genuinely value them, and to respond with tangible acts of kindness, forgiveness, and service—mirroring Christ's redemptive love. Drawing from Scripture, including the story of the ten lepers and the parable of the Good Samaritan, the message underscores that true thankfulness results in transformation, compelling believers to live out their faith in practical, selfless ways. Ultimately, the sermon affirms that gratitude is both a response to God's love and a means of deepening one's relationship with Him, calling the church to be a people marked by holy joy, truth, and sacrificial love.
How do Christians respond to God's fatherly indignation against our sin? The prophet Micah teaches us: Respond with brokenhearted boldness, with contrite courage.
