Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 9:1-14 Main Idea: A maturing church governs their liberties in Christ out of love for the Gospel of Christ. Application Questions: Have you come to believe the gospel of Christ? Will you give up your Christian liberties for the sake of reaching unbelievers with the Gospel? Q. In the beginning of the passage, Paul defends himself as an apostle. My question is this - Do apostles still exist today? Q. The text talks about pastors being financially supported by their churches. I have a somewhat related question - Should church pastors and staff still be expected to volunteer any of their non-staff paid time to ministry in the church? Q. How do very small churches find the balance between having enough money in the bank to ensure meeting legal responsibilities, utilities, etc. and paying the pastor a meaningful salary when money gets tight?

Prayer is my responsibility in God's sovereign work.In 1 Timothy 2:1–7, Paul calls the church to make prayer a priority by offering supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings for all people. Rather than responding to the world with fear or frustration, believers are called to faithfully pray, trusting that God is sovereign over every person and every circumstance.God desires people to come to the knowledge of the truth, and He has provided the only way of salvation through Jesus Christ, the one Mediator between God and man. As we trust God's sovereign plan, we are called to faithfully lift others before Him in prayer.As you watch, consider:• Is prayer a regular and intentional part of my life?• Do I faithfully pray for all people, including those in authority?• Am I trusting God's sovereign rule instead of relying on my own understanding?• Do my prayers reflect God's desire for people to know the truth of the gospel?• Am I living a life that demonstrates faith in the God who hears and answers prayer?
Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 12:12–31
God is not like us. It's a very human tendency to try to make Him like us, or to frame our thoughts about Him in human terms - but it's wrong. When the seraphs cry "Holy, holy, holy," they declare that God is separate, apart, other. This week Jim will help us understand some of the "most different differences" between the Creator and His creatures. He'll talk about God's eternal existence, His infinite knowledge and power, and his immutable character.

What if the breakthrough we've been waiting for isn't years away, but available right now? This powerful message challenges us to shift our understanding of God's timing from gradual processes to instantaneous miracles. We're invited to examine the biblical truth that many of God's most significant works happen in a moment—salvation, justification, becoming a new creation, receiving the Holy Spirit—all occur instantly. The teaching draws us into Luke 4:18, where Jesus boldly declares that the Spirit of the Lord is upon Him to heal, deliver, and set captives free, then simply states, 'This day is this scripture fulfilled.' Yet we discover something profound: not everyone in that room received their miracle. The difference wasn't God's willingness or power, but the people's reception. Through the stories of the widow who gave her last to Elijah and Naaman who had to obey by dipping in the Jordan, we see a pattern—instant miracles require instant obedience and faith. The challenge before us is sobering: Are we rejecting what heaven has already released because our minds are louder than our faith? Are we waiting for process when God is offering power? This isn't about denying the journey of transformation, but recognizing that revelation can be instantaneous, and that revelation becomes the foundation for our progressive transformation. We're called to stop disqualifying ourselves from what God has already qualified us for. We pray this message blesses you and gives you the strength you need to do and be all that God has called you to do and be!

On today's episode of Back Porch Theology takes us into the often-overlooked books of First and Second Chronicles, where Lisa and Allison uncover a beautiful reminder that God is always telling a redemptive story. If you're facing circumstances that feel impossible, this conversation will encourage you to lift your eyes above your current situation and remember that God is still at work, weaving redemption into every chapter of your life. So grab your Bible, a cup of coffee, and pull up a chair on the porch. We're so glad you're here. Scripture References: 1 Chronicles 11:11-14 2 Samuel 23:9-10 2 Chronicles 20:12
Guest Speaker Chris Hill brings us a message about becoming a closer, someone who refuses to merely get near a miracle but presses in to fully walk in the breakthrough, promotion, and promise God has placed in front of them. Drawing from Hannah, whose name means favor yet whose circumstances did not line up with her prophecy, we learn that closing requires mastering the art of showing up again and again, clearly communicating what we want instead of expecting others to read our hearts, and guarding whose voice we allow in during this season, because our miracle rests in the mouth of the man or woman of God assigned to us. Once the word comes we must fix our countenance and act as though the miracle is already ours, then get to work and worship while we work, trusting that God will give us closure over every business, contract, and relationship that has been left hanging over our lives.

Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 8:1-13Big Idea: A maturing church lets love for the people of Christ govern its liberties in Christ Application:Are you one of the people of Christ?When you are exercising your Christian liberties, do you consider the consciences of others?Q1. It seems to me that one of the main concepts in Chapter 8 is moral taint, an indirect acquisition of guilt through association or support of an immoral act. There is a lot of debate right now about if/how we can become “tainted”. When do we cross the line? For example, attending an LGBTQ wedding? Attending a regular wedding of someone wrongly divorced? Using technology/medicine discovered through immoral means? Living on land or inheriting property gained through immoral means?Q2. The concept of conscience is interesting when I consider my personal experience. For example, I grew up in a church were no one raised there hands and I grew up in a house where alcohol was never consumed. As an adult, both of those things “feel” wrong/bad even though I intellectually know they aren't sinful. What does that mean for me? Where is the interplay between my conscience and my comfort? Q3. You alluded to the Spirit working through our conscience. How can we discern between our conscience and the Holy Spirit. Is this an important distinction?Q4. I have a question about today's passage. It's a bit adjacent to the main point and includes a very specific scenario, so I don't know if you want to include all of it in the podcast, but I'm very curious (and have been waiting this whole sermon series for us to get to chapter 8 so I can ask). I've heard it taught that the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15) took place after Paul wrote 1 Corinthians, so therefore the instructions for gentiles to abstain from meat sacrificed to idols overrides Paul's teaching here. The person who told me that said that therefore, Christians today should avoid anything that has origins in another religion, including seeing chiropractors, getting massages, doing yoga-based workouts, etc. I'm curious what your thoughts are on that. Prior to hearing this teaching, I would do “Christian yoga” workouts, which use yoga poses but incorporate prayer and Scripture meditations instead throughout. I saw that as a way of redeeming the healthy aspects of yoga without participating in the religious aspects, but ever since hearing this teaching, I stopped in case I was wrong.Q5. Thank you for the message this morning. I appreciated how clearly love dominating in the gray while still adhering to truth came through. I did want to highlight that 1 mile from our church is a Hindu temple. This is what Google had to say about attendance there: As of June 2026, approximately 4,700 people regularly visit the Hindu Temple of Dayton in Beavercreek, Ohio. The congregation has grown significantly from its early days of 150 to 200 families. [1, 2, 3] For those, nearly 5,000 people, food sacrificed to idols is a very real issue. I just thought it was important to highlight that, if there are brothers and sisters in our Body that face that specific issue in ways that are a normal part of the worldview in which they may have been raised. I faced this issue specifically as a missionary while living in Zambia and befriending my Hindu neighbors. This is an issue members of our Body could face if invited to a Hindu home for a meal. Wouldn't it be wonderful if this issue became a more “normal” problem/opportunity for us! Q6. In our sermon we talked about limiting our freedom out of love for a weaker brother. But how do we distinguish between genuinely laying down our rights out of love versus just conforming out of a fear of judgment? At what point does trying not to be a 'stumbling block' cross the line into people-pleasing or enabling legalism?Thank you for listening and sending in your questions. As a reminder you can send your questions to SermonQuestions@ubcbeavercreek.com and we will see you next week.
Christ displays His glory through the lives of those He saves.In 1 Timothy 1:12–20, Paul reflects on the mercy and grace of Jesus Christ that transformed him from a blasphemer, persecutor, and violent opponent of the church into an apostle of the gospel. His testimony reminds us that no one is beyond the reach of God's saving grace.Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, and Paul's life stands as a living display of Christ's perfect patience and glorious mercy. Those whom Christ saves are not only forgiven but are called to faithfully fight the good fight, hold firmly to the faith, and live for His glory.As you watch, consider:• Have I experienced the transforming grace of Jesus Christ?• Does my life display the glory of the Savior?• Am I walking in faith with a clear conscience?• Am I faithfully fighting the good fight for the sake of the gospel?• Is Christ using my life as a testimony of His mercy and grace?

How do you respond when life gets difficult? Pressure has a way of revealing what is truly in our hearts. We can either complain or choose gratitude. Throughout Scripture, we see that complaining kept God's people from fully trusting Him, while a grateful heart positioned them to experience His power and faithfulness. In this message, discover the difference between thankfulness and gratitude, why gratitude is a posture of the heart, and how remaining grateful in every season can transform your walk with God. Through the examples of the Israelites, Jesus, Paul and Silas, and the ten lepers, you'll see that gratitude is more than a response to God's blessings. It is a lifestyle that reflects faith and prepares us for breakthrough. No matter what season you're in, God is calling you to trust Him, give thanks, and keep your heart anchored in His goodness.

2026-07-12 Beware of Leavenby Pastor Chris Berg Scripture Reference: Mark 8:1-218 During those days another large crowd gathered. Since they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said, 2 “I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. 3 If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way, because some of them have come a long distance.”4 His disciples answered, “But where in this remote place can anyone get enough bread to feed them?”5 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked.“Seven,” they replied.6 He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. When he had taken the seven loaves and given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people, and they did so. 7 They had a few small fish as well; he gave thanks for them also and told the disciples to distribute them. 8 The people ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 9 About four thousand were present. After he had sent them away, 10 he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.11 The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven. 12 He sighed deeply and said, “Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to it.” 13 Then he left them, got back into the boat and crossed to the other side.The Yeast of the Pharisees and Herod14 The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat. 15 “Be careful,” Jesus warned them. “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod.”16 They discussed this with one another and said, “It is because we have no bread.”17 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened? 18 Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don't you remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?”“Twelve,” they replied.20 “And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?”They answered, “Seven.”21 He said to them, “Do you still not understand?”Mandeville Bible Church "Where God's Word is Our Foundation"https://www.mandevillebiblechurch.org/Come and see that God's Word is alive and at work right here in Mandeville.. and throughout the world!All are welcome. 217 Carroll Street, Mandeville, LA 70448Church Office: (985) 626-3114Sunday Service: 9:30AMAdult Sunday School: 10:45-11:30AMNursery and Children's church available.
In a world filled with competing voices, conflicting beliefs, and countless ideas about truth, Pastor Tommy Boring brings us back to the unchanging foundation of the Christian faith in this powerful sermon, “One Christ, One Gospel.” Preaching from 2 Corinthians, Pastor Tommy examines the Apostle Paul’s warning that believers must guard against having their minds corrupted from “the simplicity that is in Christ.” Just as the serpent deceived Eve through subtlety, the enemy still seeks to distract people from the only message that saves by promoting another gospel, another spirit, or another version of Jesus. This message emphasizes the beautiful simplicity of salvation. We are not saved by religious rituals, good works, traditions, emotions, or human effort. Salvation comes only through the finished work of Jesus Christ. There is one Savior, one Holy Spirit, and one Gospel that points to the shed blood of Christ and His power to save all who believe. Pastor Tommy also warns of the danger of adding to or subtracting from God’s truth. When people replace biblical doctrine with cultural opinions, personal preferences, or man-made requirements, they create confusion and lead others away from the true Gospel. The call of Scripture remains unchanged: repent, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and be born again. Throughout the sermon, listeners are encouraged to test every teaching against the Word of God, reject counterfeit gospels, and remain anchored in the truth that has never changed. Whether hearing the Gospel for the first time or needing a renewed confidence in biblical truth, this message points us back to the only hope for salvation. The Gospel is not complicated. Christ has done everything necessary through His death, burial, and resurrection. Our responsibility is to respond to His invitation by faith.

Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 11:17–33
When people try to imagine what God is like, they're using the wrong tool for the job. Our imagination is part of us - corrupt, flawed, and limited. If we want to come to know God, we'll have to examine His creation for clues, and pay very close attention to the things He's revealed about Himself in the Bible. This week we're continuing our Attributes of God series with sermons on His self-existence, His self-sufficiency, and His eternity. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:30am, WHKC 91.5FM (Columbus, OH) at 5:00pm, WRFD 880AM (Columbus, OH) at 9:00am.

Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 8:1-13Big Idea: A maturing church lets love for the people of Christ govern its liberties in Christ Application:Are you one of the people of Christ?When you are exercising your Christian liberties, do you consider the consciences of others?Q1. It seems to me that one of the main concepts in Chapter 8 is moral taint, an indirect acquisition of guilt through association or support of an immoral act. There is a lot of debate right now about if/how we can become “tainted”. When do we cross the line? For example, attending an LGBTQ wedding? Attending a regular wedding of someone wrongly divorced? Using technology/medicine discovered through immoral means? Living on land or inheriting property gained through immoral means?Q2. The concept of conscience is interesting when I consider my personal experience. For example, I grew up in a church were no one raised there hands and I grew up in a house where alcohol was never consumed. As an adult, both of those things “feel” wrong/bad even though I intellectually know they aren't sinful. What does that mean for me? Where is the interplay between my conscience and my comfort? Q3. You alluded to the Spirit working through our conscience. How can we discern between our conscience and the Holy Spirit. Is this an important distinction?Q4. I have a question about today's passage. It's a bit adjacent to the main point and includes a very specific scenario, so I don't know if you want to include all of it in the podcast, but I'm very curious (and have been waiting this whole sermon series for us to get to chapter 8 so I can ask). I've heard it taught that the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15) took place after Paul wrote 1 Corinthians, so therefore the instructions for gentiles to abstain from meat sacrificed to idols overrides Paul's teaching here. The person who told me that said that therefore, Christians today should avoid anything that has origins in another religion, including seeing chiropractors, getting massages, doing yoga-based workouts, etc. I'm curious what your thoughts are on that. Prior to hearing this teaching, I would do “Christian yoga” workouts, which use yoga poses but incorporate prayer and Scripture meditations instead throughout. I saw that as a way of redeeming the healthy aspects of yoga without participating in the religious aspects, but ever since hearing this teaching, I stopped in case I was wrong.Q5. Thank you for the message this morning. I appreciated how clearly love dominating in the gray while still adhering to truth came through. I did want to highlight that 1 mile from our church is a Hindu temple. This is what Google had to say about attendance there: As of June 2026, approximately 4,700 people regularly visit the Hindu Temple of Dayton in Beavercreek, Ohio. The congregation has grown significantly from its early days of 150 to 200 families. [1, 2, 3] For those, nearly 5,000 people, food sacrificed to idols is a very real issue. I just thought it was important to highlight that, if there are brothers and sisters in our Body that face that specific issue in ways that are a normal part of the worldview in which they may have been raised. I faced this issue specifically as a missionary while living in Zambia and befriending my Hindu neighbors. This is an issue members of our Body could face if invited to a Hindu home for a meal. Wouldn't it be wonderful if this issue became a more “normal” problem/opportunity for us! Q6. In our sermon we talked about limiting our freedom out of love for a weaker brother. But how do we distinguish between genuinely laying down our rights out of love versus just conforming out of a fear of judgment? At what point does trying not to be a 'stumbling block' cross the line into people-pleasing or enabling legalism?Thank you for listening and sending in your questions. As a reminder you can send your questions to SermonQuestions@ubcbeavercreek.com and we will see you next week.
False teachers are dangerous because they lead people away from the truth.In 1 Timothy 1:3–11, Paul charges Timothy to confront false teachers and protect the church from doctrines that lead people away from the gospel. While false teaching produces confusion, speculation, and empty discussion, God's truth produces love that flows from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith.The law was never given to save sinners but to reveal our sin and point us to the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. The church must remain anchored in sound doctrine because only God's truth gives life.As you watch, consider:• Am I rooted in the truth of God's Word?• Do I know the gospel well enough to recognize false teaching?• Is my life producing the fruit of a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith?• Am I committed to defending biblical truth with both conviction and love?• Is Christ and His gospel the foundation of everything I believe?
2026-06-28 Even Dogs Eat Crumbsby Pastor Chris BergScripture Reference: Mark 7:24-3024 Jesus got up and went away from there to the region of Tyre. And when He had entered a house, He wanted no one to know of it; yet He could not escape notice. 25 But after hearing of Him, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately came and fell at His feet. 26 Now the woman was a Gentile, of the Syrophoenician race. And she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter. 27 And He was saying to her, “Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.” 28 But she answered and *said to Him, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table feed on the children's crumbs.” 29 And He said to her, “Because of this answer go; the demon has gone out of your daughter.” 30 And going back to her home, she found the child lying on the bed, the demon having left.Mandeville Bible Church "Where God's Word is Our Foundation"https://www.mandevillebiblechurch.org/Come and see that God's Word is alive and at work right here in Mandeville.. and throughout the world!All are welcome. 217 Carroll Street, Mandeville, LA 70448Church Office: (985) 626-3114Sunday Service: 9:30AMAdult Sunday School: 10:45-11:30AMNursery and Children's church available.
What does biblical submission really mean and why has it become one of the most misunderstood topics in Scripture?In this message from Ephesians 5:22–24, we take an honest look at God's design for marriage and address the questions, assumptions, and misconceptions that often surround this passage. Rather than promoting inequality or control, Paul points us to a relationship that reflects the love between Christ and His Church.As we unpack this text, you'll discover that biblical submission is not about losing value or finding your identity in another person. Instead, it's a voluntary response to God's design that displays the beauty of the gospel within marriage.In this message you'll discover:What biblical submission actually means—and what it doesn't.Why submission is rooted in trust, not inferiority.How the relationship between Christ and the Church shapes God's design for marriage.How husbands and wives reflect the gospel through their unique, God-given roles.Why God's design for marriage ultimately points people to Jesus.Whether you're married, engaged, single, or simply seeking to better understand what the Bible teaches, this message will challenge you to see God's design through the lens of His love and His purpose.Scripture References:Ephesians 5:22–24Genesis 1:27John 6:38Luke 22:42At 2Rivers, our mission is to help people become passionate followers of Jesus Christ so they can experience the life He intended and help others do the same.If this message encourages you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who could benefit from it.#2RiversChurch #Jesusitheleadstory #theuncommonlife #theuncommonlife series #Ephesians #BiblicalMarriage #ChristianMarriage #MarriageGodsWay #Submission #Jesus #BibleTeaching #Faith #FollowJesus
What does the Bible really say about money? Is it true that "money is the root of all evil," or have we misunderstood one of Scripture's most quoted verses?In this message from 1 Timothy 6:6-10, Scott Odom challenges a common misconception by showing that the Bible doesn't condemn money itself—it warns against the love of money. While money is a gift that can be used for good, allowing it to become the focus of our hearts can lead us away from contentment and ultimately away from God.Through Paul's instructions to Timothy, Pastor Jim explains why spiritual growth is far more valuable than financial success, how the pursuit of wealth often steals our contentment, and why true satisfaction can only be found in Christ. Drawing from Philippians 4, Hebrews 13, and Ecclesiastes 5, he also explores Paul's "secret" to contentment and how believers can experience lasting peace regardless of their circumstances.In this message you'll discover:• What 1 Timothy 6 actually teaches about money• The difference between having money and loving money• Why contentment is the antidote to greed• How the pursuit of wealth can quietly shape our priorities• The biblical secret to lasting contentment• Why Christ—not possessions—is the only source of true satisfaction• Practical questions to evaluate where your trust really liesWhether you're struggling with financial stress, chasing success, or simply wondering what the Bible teaches about wealth, this message offers timeless wisdom that points us away from temporary treasures and toward the lasting joy found in Jesus Christ.
The 250th Anniversary of American independence has been marked mostly by people trying to sell me merchandise! (Which is very American, when you think about it.) Beings act according to their nature. Even God. So what is the nature of the Divine Being, and how can we align our natures with His? Jim has chosen to begin a study on The Attributes of God with a look into the doctrine of the Trinity.

What happens when a covenant-keeping God makes an absolute, irrevocable promise? In this broadcast, host Shelley Volk continues an in-depth study of the covenants of God, tracing their progression from the foundational agreements of the Old Testament straight into the profound reality of the New Covenant. Shelley reviews the unconditional nature of the Abrahamic and Davidic Covenants before turning a bright spotlight onto the New Covenant outlined in Jeremiah and Ezekiel. This episode explores how the Gospel has opened up the commonwealth of Israel to the nations, challenges the common misconceptions of replacement theology, and takes a look at the prophetic future when the eyes of all Israel will be opened to their Messiah. Key Takeaways from this Episode: The Lineage of Promise: A review of the unconditional covenants passed firmly from Abraham to Isaac and Jacob, permanently securing both a people and a physical land inheritance. The Greater David: Looking at the royal decree in 2 Samuel 7 to see how its final, eternal realization points directly past Solomon to Messiah Yeshua (Jesus). Unpacking the New Covenant: Exploring Jeremiah 31 to understand a promise written directly on the heart, offering total forgiveness of sins. As Certain as Day and Night: Why the physical order of creation—the sun, moon, and stars—stands as God's absolute guarantee that He will never discard the nation of Israel. A New Heart and Spirit: Diving into Ezekiel 36 to see how the Ruach HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit) removes a heart of stone and provides the internal power to walk in God's statutes. Confronting Replacement Theology: A scriptural refutation of the idea that the Church replaces Israel, appealing to believers to stand on the immutable faithfulness of God's Word. Scripture References & Study Links: The Abrahamic Foundation: Genesis 12:1-3, Genesis 15:8, and Genesis 17:1-8 — The foundational unconditional covenants.

Who is God... really? "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." The Pharisees thought they knew God. The New Agers think they recognize God in themselves. The imagination of mankind has spun out idols uncountable. Well, who is the true God? And how can we know Him? We'll pursue answers to those questions in our new series, The Attributes of God.

What separates an eternal promise of God from a conditional agreement? In this episode, hosts Shelley and June Volk dive deep into the scriptural foundations of biblical covenants, breaking down how God relates to both Israel and the global body of believers today. The hosts review the foundational, unconditional agreements—the Abrahamic Covenant passed down through Isaac and Jacob, and the royal Davidic Covenant establishing an everlasting throne. They contrast these with the Mosaic Covenant, exploring how its conditional blessings and curses shaped Israel's history. Finally, they reveal the beautiful resolution found in Yeshua (Jesus), who bore the curse of the law to bring both Jew and Gentile together into one new man. Key Takeaways from this Episode: The Nature of Covenants: Defining what a covenant means scripturally and understanding the vital difference between unconditional promises and conditional agreements. The Everlasting Lineage: Tracking the land and nation promises from Abraham through Isaac and Jacob, and recognizing why Israel remains an everlasting nation. The Davidic Oath: Exploring the unbroken promise to King David's line and its ultimate fulfillment in the eternal reign of Messiah Yeshua. The Mosaic Contrast: A close look at Deuteronomy 28, unpacking the conditional nature of the law and why Israel struggled under its demands. Overcoming the Curse: How Jesus's sacrifice on the cross fulfilled and overcame the curse of the covenant, opening the door for the Church to enter the commonwealth of Israel. One New Man: June shares a poignant message on the unity of Jew and Gentile, urging the modern, primarily Gentile Church to pray faithfully for the salvation and peace of Israel. Scripture References & Study Links: The Foundation: Genesis 12:1-3 (NASB) — The Abrahamic Call. Generational Inheritance: Genesis 26:1-4 (NASB) and Genesis 35:9-12 (NASB) — The promise extended to Isaac and Jacob (Israel). The Everlasting Statute: Psalm 105:6-11 (NASB) — An unconditional covenant summarized. The Royal Throne: Psalm 89:3-4 (NASB) and Psalm 89:28-37 (NASB) — God’s unalterable oath to David.

Sola Gratia didn't come from Martin Luther; it came from the event we'll read about today. "...it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved...." That's Peter. "Saint" Peter, if you like. The cry, "By Grace Alone" didn't start in the 1500s, but in Acts 15, very early in the life of the church. Here's Jim to complete his talk, By Grace - Not by Law.

What happens when a covenant-keeping God makes an eternal promise to a royal lineage? In this powerful follow-up broadcast, hosts Shelley and June Volk review the historical progression of the Abrahamic Covenant—passed down through Isaac and Jacob—before shifting their focus to another monumental, unconditional agreement: The Davidic Covenant. Reading directly from the books of Samuel and Psalms, Shelley highlights the remarkable prophetic promises made to King David. While these verses had an immediate, natural application to Solomon, the hosts unpack the deep, end-times prophetic reality: an eternal throne that belongs to the "Greater David," Yeshua (Jesus). June sounds a passionate call to the modern Church to reject replacement theology, look closely at God's heart for the Jewish people, and pray for the eyes of Israel to be opened to their true King. Key Takeaways from this Episode: From Abraham to David: Tracking how the generational lineage of the covenant progressed seamlessly into the establishing of the kingdom of Israel. An Irrevocable Kingdom: Why the Davidic Covenant stands as an absolute guarantee from God, remaining unalterable even when human leaders stumble. The Greater David: Looking past the physical reign of Solomon to the ultimate fulfillment of the eternal throne through the Messiah, Yeshua. The Gates of the New Jerusalem: June connects the prophetic future to the book of Revelation, reminding believers that Israel's role is permanently written into eternity. A Call to Intercession: Why understanding these unconditional agreements should move the hearts of believers worldwide to pray for the redemption and awakening of the Jewish people. Scripture References & Study Links: The Foundation: Genesis 12:1-3 (NASB) — The Abrahamic Call. Passed down: Genesis 26:1-4 (NASB) and Genesis 35:9-12 (NASB) — The inheritance through Isaac and Jacob. The Covenant Summary: Psalm 105:6-11 (NASB) Establishing the Royal Throne: 2 Samuel 7:10-16 (NASB) — Your house and your kingdom shall endure forever. The Oath to David: Psalm 89:3-4 (NASB) — I will build up your throne to all generations. Sealed by Holy Witness: Psalm 89:28-37 (NASB) — My covenant I will not violate.

Somebody left the back door to the church unlocked, and the Gentiles are sneaking in! OK, alright; God has chosen people from pagan nations to become Christians, too. We'll get used to that. Eventually. But they'll have to come through the front door - the Mosaic Law! So said the legalists. But the church was about to determine that Faith is the front door, the only door, into the Kingdom of God. Here's the first part of Jim's sermon, By Grace - Not by Law.

Following their introductory look at the profound nature of covenants, hosts Shelley and June Volk zero in on the foundational promise that sets the stage for all of biblical history: The Abrahamic Covenant. Walking listeners directly through the pages of Genesis, Shelley breaks down the staggering "I will" statements spoken by God to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This episode highlights why this foundational covenant is entirely unconditional—resting solely on the immutable faithfulness of the Creator rather than human perfection. From the specific boundaries of the Promised Land to the lineage that birthed the twelve tribes of Israel and ultimately the Messiah, discover why this eternal agreement remains fully alive and operational in our world today. Key Takeaways from this Episode: The Sovereignty of "I Will": Understanding why the Abrahamic covenant is completely unconditional based on God taking the entire burden of performance upon Himself. Lineage & Territory: Tracking the specific line of inheritance through Isaac and Jacob—explicitly omitting Ishmael—and the permanent geographical boundaries attached to it. A Change of Identity: Looking at the deep prophetic weight behind God renaming Abram to Abraham, and Jacob to Israel. The Root of "Jew": June traces the etymology from Jacob's twelve sons down to the tribe of Judah, meaning "a worshiper of God." To a Thousand Generations: A deep dive into Psalm 105, illustrating that when God says a covenant is "forever," it means it carries absolutely no expiration date. Scripture References & Study Links: The Initial Call: Genesis 12:1-3 (NASB) — Go forth from your country... and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. Geographical Boundaries: Genesis 15:18 (NASB) — From the river of Egypt as far as the great river Euphrates.

The gospel, honored; the gospel, rejected. On Friday we were looking at Acts 13, and finding two very different responses to the gospel, as proclaimed by Paul and Barnabas. To say that the Gentiles received the Good News and the Jews didn't is an oversimplification. Today we'll jump back into Luke's account of politics, paganism and portents. Here's Pastor Jim to conclude his talk entitled, Serving in the Zone.

When we come to Acts 13, there's a shift in the story. Really, it's hard to keep our footing in the book of Acts, so much is happening - including things that have never happened before! But when the gospel made it to Antioch it established a beachhead, and launched out. Here was a church made up of both Jews and Gentiles; a fellowship that prayed; that heard from God; a church that cared. Today we'll hear the first half of Pastor Jim's sermon, Serving in the Zone.

Earlier this month, Jackie found herself at the center of a Threads post that generated a whole lot of conversation. It got her and Preston thinking about the opposition we face as Christians because of a worldview that is confusing to unbelievers. NOTE: For most of us, the persecution we face is social in nature – that's different from persecution others face around the world when they risk their lives professing Christ. As Christians, we're not supposed to defend ourselves. We're supposed to preach the gospel and leverage opposition as an opportunity to point others to Jesus. Jackie and Preston discuss a helpful framework for approaching unbelievers, why it's important to lead with compassion, and the reason why both prayer and patience are required for those conversations.
