Is there not a cause-5-17-26-pm Jesse Lockhart

Preaching from 1 Samuel 17, Brother Jesse declares that David’s question—“Is there not a cause?”—still confronts believers today as the enemy rises like Goliath to intimidate, defy, and discourage God’s people. He shows how David refused to see a giant and instead saw the God who had delivered him before, urging the church to stop running from spiritual battles and stand their ground for their families, their homes, their church, and their nation. With vivid imagery of David rejecting Saul’s armor, taking up his staff of remembrance, choosing five stones of grace, and running toward the fight in the name of the Lord, he calls believers to courage, prayer, and unwavering confidence that the battle is the Lord’s and victory still belongs to those who stand for Him.   Whitwell, Tennessee — Fairview Union Church

I can I will do beleive-5-17-26-pm- Jesse Lockhart

This message centers on Jesus’ teaching about the faithful steward in Luke 12, emphasizing that salvation is not the finish line but the starting point of a life of responsibility, obedience, and service to the Lord. The preacher warns that many want the blessings of God without the labor of stewardship, yet every believer has been entrusted with work to do, and the Lord will one day require an account of how we lived outside the church walls as much as inside them. Through examples from Jonah, Solomon, and the unjust steward, he urges believers to be faithful, honest, merciful, and diligent, reminding them that God rewards those who labor in secret, keeps vows, and handles both earthly and spiritual responsibilities with integrity.   Whitwell, Tennessee — Fairview Union Church

Sunday School 5-17-26

In this lesson the pastor draws a straight line from Noah’s Ark to John 10, showing that just as God shut the door on the Ark, Jesus Himself is now the only door into salvation, the Good Shepherd whose sheep know His voice and follow Him while strangers flee. He warns that today’s world is full of “other ways” being sold, but Scripture is clear—there is only one door, one Shepherd, one voice, and those who drift from church, from fellowship, and from obedience often do so slowly, pulled away by the thief who steals, kills, and destroys. He reminds the church that the Shepherd leads, protects, and calls both Jew and Gentile, and that the enemy uses comfort, distraction, and absence to separate believers from the fold, but abundant life is found only by staying near the Shepherd and entering through His door.   Whitwell, Tennessee — Fairview Union Church

Forgetting Jesus -5-13-26- Jesse Lockhart

This midweek message unfolds Isaiah’s parable of the vineyard, showing how God fenced, cleared, planted, protected, and prepared His people with every intention of producing good fruit, yet they brought forth wild, poisonous grapes through rejection of Jesus and refusal to walk in His way. Brother Jesse warns that modern society is deeply religious yet spiritually blind, embracing God and even “a Christ” while rejecting Jesus’ actual path of obedience, repentance, and self-denial. He urges believers to be doers of the Word, to guard against false doctrine and emotional deception, to cling to Scripture as settled truth, and to recognize that rejecting Jesus—His way, His commands, His authority—is what destroys nations, churches, and souls.   Whitwell, Tennessee — Fairview Union Church

Sunday Evening -5-10-26

Jesse Lockhart – 5‑10‑26 (PM) — Podcast Summary In this message from Isaiah 53, Brother Jesse lifts up the suffering Savior—despised, rejected, wounded, bruised, and silent before His accusers—reminding the church that Jesus bore griefs, carried sorrows, and died for the sins of the people. He focuses on the question, “Who shall declare His generation?” calling believers to boldly tell the story of Jesus in a world growing dangerously close to a generation that no longer knows Him. Through the example of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch, he shows that the gospel must be declared with conviction, anointing, and personal testimony, urging the church not to hold its peace but to sow, water, and trust God for the increase as they proclaim Christ to a lost and fading world.   Whitwell, Tennessee — Fairview Union Church
