SERMON VIDEO: "HE FOUR WITNESSES, PART 2"

Sermon Text: John 5:37-47 (Scripture Reading: Psalm 36:1-12 (Other Reading: Isaiah 9:1-21)

Message delivered by: Rev. Richard Stetler on June 21, 2026, to Resurrection Hope Congregation, Hartley, IA

This message is part 2 of messages on the “The Four Witnesses” that Jesus gave that testified and support that what Jesus said defending Himself in response to the false accusation made against Him by the Judaic leaders. In verses 31-36, Jesus began His defense presenting John the Baptizer and His works, which testified to the truth He of what He said concerning healing the paralytic man on the Sabbath and stating that He was equal to the Father. The third and fourth witnesses Jesus presents testify further concerning His authority and that He is truly the Son of God, the Second Person of the Triune God, taking on Him the very nature of man, both of body and soul to save the world from sin, redeeming those given to Him by the Father; Chosen out every kindred, nation, tongue and people to redeem from the bo***ge to sin in His one atoning death on the cross shedding His precious blood and rising again from dead; thereby, obtaining for sinners the forgiveness of sins, righteousness, salvation and everlasting life; doing what they could not and would not do for themselves. Watch the video to learn more about the last two witnesses Jesus presents in His defense against the untrue accusations made against Him by the self-righteous and ignorant Judaic leaders of Jerusalem.

SERMON VIDEO: "THE FOUR WITNESSES" - JOHN 5:31-36

The scariest thing that a person can say to you is “trust me.” I have learned the hard way that it would be wiser not to “trust” such a person. Yet, Jesus, who is the Son of God and the Son of man, could have said that after giving His defense and you could trust that what He said about Himself was true. Notwithstanding, He presented four witnesses to his accusers, who would testify to the truth concerning what Jesus said in His own defense. In the sermon today, two of those witnesses are considered, which should have been enough to verify the truth Jesus spoke concerning Himself, which ought to reassure us and comfort us our faith to live by faith bearing the fruit of the Spirit and boldness to speak confidence that our faith is not a blind faith of philosophical nonsense, such the other man-centered religions of the world. I pray the Lord will bless you and strengthen you the Faith as hear what God has to say to you in the preaching of God’s holy word, the Bible.

SERMON VIDEO: "JESUS DEFENDS HIS WORK, PART 3" - John 5:24-30

After a couple of weeks of the worship service being cancelled due to illness and other matters related to the those who attend the service, part 3 of Jesus' defense was delivered yesterday.

Jesus continues to defend His work as the Son of God and the Son of man; especially as it related to the healing of the paralytic man on the Sabbath Day. In this message we take a close look at Jesus' testimony in defense of the false accusations of the Judaic leaders; that is, that He broke the Sabbath Day Law found in the Ten Commands and that He blasphemed God, making Himself equal to the Father. Not only does His defense absolve Him of these malicious accusations, but He also reaffirms the faith of His disciples and us also, as He expands upon His testimony, He has already given concerning Himself and His work. His testimony ought to not just reassure us that Jesus is the only true Savior of sinners, like you and me; it ought to also strengthen our desire as we live our lives each day by faith in the grace of God, giving testimony of the Gospel message, which is the power of God for salvation for all who hear His word and believe in Him who sent Him.

SERMON VIDEO: "JESUS DEFENDS HIS WORK, PART 2'
Sermon Text: John 5:19-23

I have uploaded the sermon from yesterday's worship service, as we continue our look at Jesus' defense against the false accusations that He broke the 4th Commandment regarding the Sabbath Day and that He blasphemed God. Both charges are unquestionably refuted as Jesus expands upon what He said in verses 16 to 18.

SERMON VIDEO: "JESUS DEFENDS HIS WORK" - JOHN 5:16-18

In John 5:16-18, Jesus begins to give His defense of why He healed the crippled man at the pool of Bethesda on the Sabbath Day; then, told the man to pick up his bed and walk. What Jesus said to justify His actions would have made it clear that He had full authority to perform a work of love and compassion on the Sabbath Day; however, He was falsely accused of blasphemy.

VIDEO SERMON: "HELPING THE HELPLESS, PART 2" & RGM MINISTRY UPDATE:

First, I just want to mention that I recorded the Resurrection Day; however, I must have forgotten to turn my mic; so, I didn't upload it and get it distributed as I desired to do so - let me know if you can read lips and I'll get a copy to you - lol.

MINISTRY UPDATE:
I continue to distribute gospel tracts and talking to people about the gospel. I have also given believers in Christ a copy of the Reformation Heritage Study Bible to those who have expressed a desire to dig deeper into God's Word. The study notes and thoughts are true to the context and focuses your attention of Jjesus Christ throughout both the Old and New Testaments. In my opinion, it is one of the best study Bibles I have come across in my many years walking with the Lord.

Lord willing and by the grace of God, I will be filling the pulpit at Rock Valley URC on the first 2 Lord's Days of June - both services. This year, Lord willing, RGM will hold 2 Gospel in the Park evangelism events; one in Hartley, IA and the other in Sheldon - the plan is to have one in July and the other in August - will let you know more as the time grows closer. RGM will also, Lord willing, participate in community vendor fairs in the area, as God gives us opportunity to do so. Regarding conferences: though there are no plans at this time conducts any conferences this year, we going to begin planning to conduct at least 2 conferences next year as we have done in past. We considering hold a conference in Spencer, IA at a venue that people would not normally consider holding a conference at - but what can I say; the Lord is providing at a very reasonable cost. I am also considering making myself available to hold seminars on "Biblical Evangelism" anywhere the Lord will send me. Please continue to keep me and the ministry of RGM in your prayers, as know you already do.

Many blessings to you all . . . and thank you for your continued prayers and support as I as I continue to go through a very rough time in my life, emotionally - the trial is great, but our Faithful Savior and Great Shepherd, Jesus Christ, is greater!
