Title: The Refiner in the Fire
Speaker: Jaron Judd
Date: May 10, 2026
Bible: 1 Peter 1:6-8

The sermon centers on the transformative purpose of suffering in the life of a believer, drawing from 1 Peter 1:6–8 to affirm that trials are not signs of divine abandonment but evidence of divine refinement. It emphasizes that the faith of believers—more precious than gold—is being purified by fire not for destruction, but for glory, as God, the divine refiner, attentively works to reveal His own image in them. Through biblical examples like Joseph, the three men in the fiery furnace, and the prophetic vision of Malachi, the message reveals Christ as the ever-present fourth in the fire, who bore the judgment meant for sinners so that believers may endure refinement with hope. The joy described is not rooted in the absence of pain, but in the unshakable love for an unseen Savior, sustained by faith and culminating in unspeakable, glory-filled joy even amid suffering. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to trust in God's faithful keeping, knowing that the refining process is not arbitrary, but a loving act of preparation for the final revelation of Christ, when faith will be found to bring praise, honor, and glory. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/51126238143210

Title: The God Who Keeps
Speaker: Jaron Judd
Date: May 10, 2026
Bible: 1 Peter 1:3-5

The sermon centers on the assurance of salvation found in 1 Peter 1:3–5, emphasizing that believers are not sustained by their own strength or faithfulness, but by the sovereign, powerful, and merciful keeping of God through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It traces God's redemptive faithfulness throughout Scripture—from Noah in the flood, Israel in the wilderness, and the remnant in exile—to reveal that each was a shadow pointing to the ultimate, final keeping secured by Christ's victory over death. The inheritance believers have is incorruptible, undefiled, unfading, and reserved in heaven, not because of human merit, but because God's power—demonstrated in Christ's resurrection—sustains and guards them through every trial, doubt, and failure. The sermon confronts the deep fear of falling away not with self-effort, but with the truth that perseverance is not earned by faith, but guaranteed by the one who holds believers in His hands, whose power is unchanging and whose faithfulness is absolute. Ultimately, the believer's hope is not in their own endurance, but in the risen Christ, who is both the ground of their new birth and the guarantee of their final salvation, ready to be revealed at His return. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/51126235127209

Title: O Lord, Hear. O Lord, Forgive.
Date: May 3, 2026
Bible: Daniel 9:20-27

Daniel’s prayer in chapter 9, prompted by his study of Jeremiah’s prophecy of 70 years of exile, reflects a profound humility, corporate repentance, and a deep focus on God’s glory rather than personal merit. Grounded in the covenantal relationship, Daniel confesses the sins of his people—including those committed before his birth—while pleading for mercy not for their righteousness but for God’s name and reputation. His prayer is answered not merely through divine decree, but through God’s personal love, as the angel Gabriel is sent swiftly to assure Daniel that his plea has been heard because he is greatly loved. This response reveals that God’s sovereignty and human prayer are not opposed, but harmonized: God ordains both the promise and the prayer as means to fulfill His faithful character. Ultimately, the chapter points to the coming of the Messiah, whose mission to atone for sin and establish everlasting righteousness fulfills the very mercy Daniel sought, demonstrating that God answers prayer not only because of His promises, but because of His enduring, redeeming love. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/5426026372212

Title: To Put an End to Sin
Speaker: Todd Dole
Date: May 3, 2026
Bible: Daniel 9

This sermon presents Daniel 9 as a divine response to Daniel’s heartfelt prayer for God’s mercy and the restoration of His people, revealing that the prophecy of the 70 weeks centers on the Messiah’s first coming rather than future events. The passage is interpreted as a messianic vision fulfilling six key purposes: ending transgression, abolishing sin, atoning for iniquity, establishing everlasting righteousness, sealing the prophetic word, and anointing the true Holy of Holies through Christ’s sacrifice. The 70 weeks are understood as 490 years, symbolically rooted in the Sabbath pattern of Leviticus, with the final week marking the ultimate Jubilee—eternal redemption achieved through Christ’s crucifixion, which rendered the old sacrificial system obsolete. The sermon emphasizes that this prophecy offers profound hope and assurance: believers can be confident that their sins are permanently atoned for through Christ’s blood, and though they still struggle with sin, they are fully forgiven and reconciled to God. The tone is pastoral and comforting, calling listeners to rest in the finished work of Christ while urging both believers and unbelievers to respond in faith and repentance. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/5426028136409

Title: Great is Thy Faithfulness
Speaker: Dr. Isaac Butterworth
Date: April 26, 2026
Bible: Lamentations 3:22-24

In the midst of profound national devastation and personal despair, the prophet Jeremiah's lament in Lamentations reveals a soul overwhelmed by grief, yet anchored in the unshakable faithfulness of God. The central message emerges from the enduring truth that God's steadfast love, mercy, and constancy are not contingent on human faithfulness or circumstances, but are rooted in His unbreakable covenant with His people. Though judgment has come, the passage affirms that God's mercies are new every morning and His faithfulness endures, offering hope even in the darkest moments. This hope is grounded not in human strength or circumstances, but in the eternal reliability of God, who, through Christ, bore the penalty of broken covenants on the cross, making His love and mercy perpetually available. The sermon calls believers to respond with trust, patience, and quiet waiting, embracing God's overtures of grace and finding refuge in His unchanging character. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/53261311402898

Title: Before the Throne of Grace
Speaker: Dr. Isaac Butterworth
Date: April 26, 2026
Bible: Hebrews 4:14-16

The sermon centers on the profound truth that Jesus, as our exalted and compassionate high priest, is the only true source of help in every time of need. Drawing from Hebrews 4:14–16, it emphasizes that Jesus is both able—having triumphed over sin and death—and willing, having personally experienced every human weakness without yielding to temptation. The passage calls believers to hold fast to their confession, not out of self-reliance, but because they are securely held by Christ, who invites them with confidence to approach the throne of grace. This invitation is not a mere suggestion but a divine assurance that mercy and grace are available for every genuine need, surpassing all other so-called solutions that ultimately fail. The message is both pastoral and urgent, warning against the subtle idolatry of placing anything—relationships, status, or even religious rituals—above Christ, and calling the church to daily trust in Him as the supreme and sufficient answer to life’s deepest longings. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/532612593260

Title: Experiential Christianity: What is it?
Speaker: Ryan Denton
Date: April 12, 2026

The sermon presents experiential Christianity as a vital, biblically grounded reality in which faith is not merely intellectual assent but a personal, transformative encounter with God that validates and deepens the truths of Scripture. Drawing from the story of the Queen of Sheba, it illustrates how objective knowledge of Solomon’s wisdom was insufficient until she personally encountered him, resulting in awe, conviction, and a profound spiritual transformation. The preacher emphasizes that true faith involves a heart-level reception of divine truth, where the Word of God is not only known but felt, tasted, and lived, producing joy, holiness, and a deepened communion with Christ. This experiential dimension is not emotionalism or mysticism, but a God-ordained reality confirmed by Scripture, the sacraments, and the inner witness of the Holy Spirit, which neither replaces nor contradicts the Bible but fulfills and affirms it. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to pursue a living, personal relationship with Christ—so deep that even the half of His glory previously unheard becomes evident upon encounter. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/413261330111147

Title: We Preach Christ Crucified
Speaker: Ryan Denton
Date: April 12, 2026
Bible: Philippians 2

The sermon centers on the enduring significance of the cross of Christ, emphasizing that its true power lies not in cultural familiarity but in its radical, scandalous nature in the first century, where crucifixion was a symbol of shame and disgrace reserved for rebels and criminals. Paul’s proclamation of 'Christ crucified' is presented as both foolishness to the world and the very wisdom and power of God, overturning human values by transforming the instrument of ex*****on into the means of salvation. The message challenges modern attempts to sanitize Christianity for cultural appeal, insisting that the offense of the cross is not to be removed but embraced as the divine means by which God reconciles sinners, defeats evil, and renews lives through the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, the cross is not merely a historical symbol but a living reality that demands a crucified life—one of self-denial, surrender to Christ, and unwavering faith in the face of worldly rejection. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/41326330553695

Title: In the Lion's Den
Speaker: Todd Dole
Date: April 5, 2026
Bible: Daniel 6

The sermon centers on Daniel’s unwavering faith in the face of a deadly decree that forbids prayer to any god or man except the king, highlighting his consistent devotion to God through prayer and thanksgiving, even when it risks his life. Rather than viewing prayer as a transactional means to avoid suffering, Daniel treats it as a vital expression of his relationship with God, rooted in the assurance of salvation from sin and death through faith in the coming Messiah. The passage reveals that Daniel’s courage stems not from a guarantee of deliverance, but from the deeper peace found in being reconciled to God, enabling him to face the lion’s den with confidence. The sermon draws a profound theological connection between Daniel’s experience and the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ, portraying Daniel’s deliverance as a foreshadowing of Christ’s victory over death—where Christ, unlike Daniel, endured death itself to secure eternal redemption. Ultimately, the narrative calls believers to emulate Daniel’s faithfulness, not for temporal safety, but for the joy of communion with God, trusting in His ultimate sovereignty and grace. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/41226134842878

Title: Weighed and Found Wanting
Speaker: Todd Dole
Date: April 5, 2026
Bible: Daniel 5

The sermon centers on the fall of Babylon and the judgment of King Belshazzar, whose pride and sacrilege—using sacred temple vessels for a drunken feast—provoked divine retribution. Drawing from Daniel 5, it emphasizes that God, who had previously humbled Nebuchadnezzar, now judges Belshazzar for his arrogance and defiance, symbolized by the mysterious writing on the wall: 'Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin,' interpreted as God having numbered Belshazzar’s days, found him wanting in the balance, and decreed the division of his kingdom to the Medes and Persians. The passage is applied to the final judgment, warning that all humanity, like Belshazzar, will be weighed and found lacking due to sin, but the good news is revealed in Christ, whose perfect life, atoning death, and resurrection provide imputed righteousness, enabling believers to stand before God without fear. The sermon concludes with a call to repentance and faith in Jesus, urging listeners to turn from rebellion or self-righteousness to receive forgiveness and eternal life through His grace. www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/412261341337969
