Cohen Osburn "I Desire Mercy, and Not Sacrifice"

Cohen Osburn "I Desire Mercy, and Not Sacrifice"

In this lesson, Brother Cohen Osburn will examine Jesus' statement, “I desire mercy and not sacrifice,” by tracing it from Matthew 12 back to Hosea. God has always desired wholehearted love and faithful devotion rather than empty religious ritual. Through Jesus' defense of His disciples and His rebuke of the Pharisees, showing human traditions must never replace God's commands and that true obedience flows from a heart that genuinely loves the Lord. Because Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath and the perfect revelation of God's character, believers are called to worship, serve, and obey Him from sincere love instead of mere habit, legalism, or outward performance. We invite our listeners to join us in this biblical lesson and its application to our daily Christian lives.

Jimmy Cating "Your Sorrow Will Be Turned to Joy"

The sorrows of Jesus' followers are temporary and will ultimately be transformed into lasting joy through His death, resurrection, and victory over the grave. This gives Christians hope in the face of the death of faithful believers, the trials of life, and the conviction that comes from genuine repentance over sin. Christ has overcome the world and secured eternal life, believers can endure present suffering with confidence, knowing that God will one day wipe away every tear and replace every sorrow with everlasting joy.

Summer Meeting Sunday Morning with Kevin Fox "Yet Not I But Through Christ in Me"

In this lesson, Brother Kevin Fox from Midland, TX will discuss the book of Romans. Working backward from chapter 16 to show that Paul's central concern was not merely explaining salvation but uniting Jewish and Gentile Christians into one body through their shared identity in Christ. By highlighting Paul's repeated greetings and descriptions of believers as "beloved," "approved," and "chosen in the Lord," demonstrates that the gospel removes barriers of ethnicity, social status, and background, calling Christians to embrace one another with genuine love and fellowship. Believers have found peace with God through Jesus Christ, they are challenged to become a people who intentionally "wrap each other up" in Christ, displaying the unity and love that mark the church as God's kingdom in the world.

Summer Meeting Night 4 with Kevin Fox "Yet Not I But Through Christ in Me"

John teaches that believers continue to grow through repentance, obedience, and love, distinguishing a life that continually follows Christ from one that deliberately continues in sin while emphasizing that God's perfect love drives out fear. As Christians practice Christlike love and abide in Him, they can confidently face both daily life and eternity, declaring with assurance, "Yet not I, but through Christ in me."
