Everything that has life is active. The God who rested from creation has never stopped working (John 5:17); the Christ who completed his atoning work intercedes now; the Holy Spirit works in the hearts of the obedient. Every person whom God called in the biblical record…
Christianity — specifically, the obedient response to the gospel — is the only absolutely sure position for eternal life. Every other position carries a risk that Christianity does not. The call is to make it as sure as ye can. Pilate’s command was addressed to the…
Sin did not originate with God. God created beings with the power to choose; some chose to disobey. The origin of sin is the misuse of freedom, not a failure in the design that produced the freedom. The first sins were angelic; the first human sin…
A society can lose its moral foundations, but the righteous are not left without hope. Psalm 11 answers despair with a clear truth: God is still on His throne, He sees, He tests, and He will judge. Romans 1 explains how cultures collapse when they suppress truth and reject God’s light. The church must respond with biblical clarity, personal repentance, love for souls, and unwavering focus on the gospel mission.
Psalm 8 is a psalm of wonder: “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained; what is man that You take thought of him, and the son of man that You care for him?” (Ps….

Burdens are not all curses; God uses some to strengthen us, commands us to share others, and invites us to cast on Him the ones no man can carry — and wisdom is knowing which burden is which. We treat every burden as an enemy to…
Content: Planning without God is arrogant boasting, and James calls it evil. Ecclesiastes reminds us that God appoints the times, and James warns that life is a vapor. The faithful alternative is humble submission: “If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that.” This lesson calls us to repent of self-rule and bring every plan under the Lord’s authority.
Sin did not begin in the field—it began at the altar. Cain’s fall was a progression: unbelief in worship, pride under correction, and hatred of righteousness. God warned him that sin was crouching at the door, ready to rule him, but Cain refused to master it. The result was not just a broken relationship with his brother, but bloodshed and separation from the presence of the Lord. This sermon exposes the “way of Cain” and calls every listener to examine worship, respond rightly to Scripture’s correction, and submit to God before sin grows into death.
