God created work as a good gift, but sin can turn work into an idol. Some men avoid responsibility, while others make their careers, success, and productivity the measure of their worth. In this episode, Dave Jenkins calls men to commit their work to the Lord, labor with diligence and integrity, guard against workaholism, and refuse to let ambition replace devotion to Christ. Because believers belong to Christ, they can work faithfully without making achievement their identity.

Structuring the Bible into chapters and verses is a valuable tool that makes it easier to find and reference specific passages. However, we must remember that, though they are helpful conventions, they are the work of man, and are not Spirit-inspired. This brief article explores how verse divisions came to be implemented in editions of Scripture.

Reordering the Disorderly (part 1)

Everyone takes away something from the person and work of Christ Jesus the King. What is it that you take away from this One from Nazareth?

The sermon explores the comforting presence of God during trials by examining Psalm 23:4 and the symbolism of the shepherd's rod and staff. It interprets the rod as a representation of divine authority, illustrated through Moses' confrontation with Pharaoh, and the staff as a tool for guidance and protection that lifts believers from distress. The message connects these physical metaphors to the spiritual reality of Scripture, which serves as God's authoritative word to correct, instruct, and sustain faith. Drawing on Martin Luther's insights, it emphasizes that believers rely on this divine word rather than visible signs to navigate life's difficulties. Ultimately, the teaching encourages trust in God's sufficient care and protection through His word and the redemptive work of Christ.

Matthew 24:39 'and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.' The sermon emphasizes the certainty of divine judgment by drawing parallels between the global flood in Noah's day and the future fiery judgment of the world. It warns that life will continue normally until the sudden arrival of Christ, leaving no time for last-minute repentance. The preacher argues against skeptical views of the biblical account, affirming the historical reality of the flood as a type of God's wrath against sin. Central to the message is the provision of salvation through Jesus Christ, who serves as the ultimate refuge and atoning sacrifice for believers. The text concludes with an urgent call to flee to Christ and trust in His finished work before it is too late.

God's people receive their inheritance not by might or by merit, but through a mediator. Deuteronomy 9:1-7, 18-20 1. God's people receive their inheritance not by their own might. 2. God's people receive their inheritance not by their own merit. 3. God's people receive their inheritance by the work of a mediator.

Paul's plans for Timothy and Epaphroditus reveal the qualities he values in those who serve Christ. In Philippians 2:19-30, genuine concern becomes proven gospel labor, and a servant who nearly died in that work is commended to the church's glad welcome. These men help us examine whether our own concern becomes dependable help and whether we appreciate those who quietly carry responsibility. Learning to value faithful service strengthens fellowship and turns gratitude into practical care for the people doing the work. Scripture References: Philippians 2:19-30 Hebrews 6:10

Lord's Day 24

A Right Understanding of Good Works (5) 1. The reward of the wicked 2. The reward of the righteous 3. The nature of these rewards 4. Practical lessons

In this evening's sermon, Pastor Rockhill delves into Acts 11:1-18, where the early church experiences a pivotal moment with the inclusion of Gentiles into the faith. The passage recounts Peter's defense of his actions after he shares the gospel with Cornelius, a Gentile. The tension arises when the Jewish believers in Jerusalem confront Peter, questioning how he could associate with uncircumcised men. Pastor Rockhill highlights the significance of this event, emphasizing that it marks the dawn of a new era where the gospel transcends cultural and ethnic boundaries. Throughout his message, Pastor Rockhill encourages the congregation to recognize the dangers of prejudice and to embrace the unity that the gospel brings. He illustrates how Peter's vision and subsequent actions demonstrate God's sovereign plan to include all nations in His redemptive work. The sermon serves as a reminder for believers to actively pursue fellowship and share the gospel with individuals from diverse backgrounds, reaffirming that God's grace is extended to everyone who calls upon His name. As the early church learns to celebrate this inclusion, Pastor Rockhill challenges the church today to reflect this same openness and love in their community.

In this series we will begin to look at what real salvation is. It is not found in the doctrines of man, but in the Name of Jesus. In this message we will examine the revelation of salvation.

God's unchanging, eternal Word stands the test of time, pointing us to Christ for righteousness and instructing in righteousness all who trust in Him.

Psalm 19:7–11 sets forth the perfections and benefits of special revelation — God's word — as the counterpart to the general revelation explored in verses 1–6. This exposition works through the six descriptive titles David assigns to Scripture (law, testimony, statutes, commandment, fear, judgments), the corresponding attributes attached to each, and the practical effects they produce in the soul of the one who meditates on them. Main points: - the perfections of the word of God as set forth in the six titles and their attributes - the benefits of the word — its effects on the soul, the heart, and the eyes - the response the word calls forth — desire for it above gold, warning heeded, and prayerful dependence on God Scripture references: - Psalms 19:1-14; 29; 119 - Romans 10:4; 10:18 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-psalm-19-the-psalmists-contemplation-on-the-revelation-2 Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

The sermon explores the nature of genuine faith through the testing of Abraham in Genesis 22, emphasizing that God is the author of trials designed to prove and refine belief. It highlights Abraham's immediate surrender to God's will over his own affections, illustrating that true faith requires total obedience and trust in God's power to fulfill His promises. The narrative contrasts Abraham's unwavering confidence with human hesitation, urging believers to examine whether their faith is substantive and rooted in God's character. Ultimately, the message points to the Gospel, noting that just as God spared Isaac, He did not spare His own Son Jesus Christ for the salvation of sinners. This comparison serves as a call to self-examination regarding the genuineness of one's faith and an invitation to trust in the redemptive work of Christ.

The sermon emphasizes the critical urgency of serving Christ within the limited timeframe of human life, using the metaphor of daylight versus nightfall. Drawing primarily from John chapter 9, it highlights Jesus' declaration that He must work the works of God while it is day, for the night is coming when no one can work. The message challenges believers to recognize their time as a non-renewable resource and to engage actively in spiritual labor rather than remaining idle or distracted by worldly concerns. It clarifies that the primary purpose of Christ's ministry and the church's work is to bring people out of spiritual darkness into the light of salvation, not merely to address physical needs. The preacher urges the congregation to seize the present moment to fulfill their divine mission before their opportunity expires.

Revelation 9:20-21

The sermon explores the spiritual danger of dissatisfaction by examining the Israelites' complaint for meat in Numbers 11, illustrating how physical cravings can mask a lack of faith. It establishes a critical connection between the stomach and the soul, arguing that pickiness and gluttony are manifestations of pride and idolatry that hinder spiritual maturity. The preacher advocates for fasting as a discipline to train believers in contentment, thereby sharpening their discernment and aligning their desires with God's provision. By prioritizing spiritual pursuits over physical comforts, individuals can avoid the snare of materialism and develop the ability to recognize God's work in their lives. Ultimately, the message calls for a life of gratitude and self-discipline, modeled by figures like Anna in Luke 2, who gained insight through devotion rather than indulgence.

In Ephesians 4:7–16, Paul explains how Christ has gifted His church and how every believer has a role in its growth and maturity. How is the church supposed to function, and what responsibilities belong to its leaders and members? This message shows how leaders equip the saints, believers serve and edify one another, and the whole body works together toward spiritual maturity and Christlikeness until Jesus returns.

Because God richly blesses those who support His work, we should delight to faithfully partner in the gospel.

Joseph had every reason to retaliate against the brothers who betrayed him, yet he chose mercy instead. When his brothers arrived in Egypt desperate for food, Joseph tested their hearts rather than exposing them to shame or punishment. He provided grain, returned their money, and sent them home with provisions, none of which they had earned. This mirrors the grace described in Ephesians 2, where God, rich in mercy, made us alive in Christ even while we were dead in our sin. The brothers' growing conviction over their past wrong reflects how genuine repentance works. Transformation, not perfection, is the evidence that mercy has truly been received. Those who have genuinely experienced God's forgiveness will find that mercy flowing outward toward others, even those who have caused deep pain. God's plans run deeper than our pain, and the mercy He extends to us is meant to move through us to the people around us.

TBS Hebrew New Testament was published in 2025. This is a revision of the Delitzsch Hebrew New Testament (known as DHNT), aimed at making it more faithful to the Greek Received Text, and in a more understandable form of Hebrew which can be readily understood by modern Hebrew speakers today. While the Jews and Hebrew speakers have the Old Testament in Hebrew, the New Testament was written in Greek, meaning that it had to be translated into Hebrew for them to read it in their own tongue. The first edition of the Delitzsch New Testament was published in the 1870s by the British and Foreign Bible Society, and later the Trinitarian Bible Society published an edition for many years. But who was Delitzsch? And why was his work so important for the Jews?

In this message by Pastor Peront, he relates the story of Ruth to what we have in Christ as believers. Just as Boaz redeemed Ruth his bride, Jesus Christ redeemed his bride, the church, through his work on the cross.
