Chris Long-6-24-2-Laynes chapel

Brother Chris Long preaches from 2 Kings 5 on Naaman, using the story to call the church back to compassion and the simple, everyday work of making a difference in the lives of people wounded by sin. He reminds the congregation that leprosy in Scripture mirrors the slow, spreading nature of sin, and that Naaman’s healing began not with a prophet or a king but with a captive little girl who refused bitterness and instead pointed him toward hope. Brother Chris warns that the modern church has grown hardened, self‑righteous, and quick to judge the broken—those on drugs, those homeless, those who look different—when Christ calls His people to step toward them, not away. Through the Good Samaritan, through Naaman’s pride, and through personal testimony of people who once made a difference in his own childhood, he urges believers to rediscover compassion, to stop crossing to the other side of the road, and to intentionally touch one life each day with kindness, mercy, and the love of God.

Jeremiah 6-20:8-11-Jesse Lockhart -6-21-pm

Jeremiah 20:8–11 — Podcast Summary (June 21, 2026 PM)In this message, the preacher steps into Jeremiah’s weariness—his ministry rejected, his warnings mocked, his obedience landing him in the stocks—and shows how the prophet reached the point of saying, “I will not make mention of Him.” But the Word of God burned in Jeremiah’s bones until silence became impossible, and the sermon turns that fire toward us. Using the story of Queen Esther, the preacher warns that this is not the hour for God’s people to hold their peace; we are placed in this generation “for such a time as this,” standing between a holy God and a dying people. He reminds listeners that if we refuse to speak, God will raise another voice, just as Jesus said the rocks would cry out. With urgency he calls the church to stop zipping its lips, stop shrinking back, and step into the king’s presence clothed in righteousness like Esther—trusting that when we move, God extends the scepter, opens the door, and gives power to speak His name with fire again.

Why Then? Jesse Lockhart -6-21-26 AM

Why Then? — Podcast Summary (June 21, 2026 PM)This sermon opens with Jeremiah’s cry, “Is there no balm in Gilead?” and confronts the spiritual sickness of a people who are dying with the cure right at their feet. The preacher compares sin to leprosy—slow, spreading, destructive—and warns that the modern church has grown weak on spiritual junk food, refusing the bitter but healing medicine of God’s Word. With urgency he asks, “Why then?” Why stay sick when Christ has already paid for the cure? Drawing from the story of the four lepers who rose up rather than sit and die, he urges listeners to stop starving spiritually, stop sitting still, and rise toward the only Physician who can restore life. When a soul finally moves toward God, he says, heaven itself stirs, walls part, and the enemy flees—because the cure is abundant, present, and waiting for anyone willing to rise up and live.

Our Love to him-- Jesse Lockhart 6-17-26

Our Love to Him — Podcast Summary (June 17, 2026)In this message, the preacher walks through Jesus’ threefold question to Peter—“lovest thou me?”—and turns it toward us, reminding listeners that while God’s love for humanity is unquestionable, proven at Calvary and renewed every morning, the real issue is our love toward Him. Using Scripture, stories, and the example of Peter’s denial and restoration, he presses the difference between merely loving God and being in love with Him—a love that obeys, serves, and follows even without reward. He challenges believers to renew their first love, to show devotion not just with lips but with life, to take up their cross in self‑denial, and to love Christ more than comfort, possessions, or self, just as Peter ultimately did when he chose an upside‑down cross rather than deny the One who loved him first.

Why we need the Lord - Jesse Lockhart 6-14-26-pm

Why We Need the Lord — 6‑14‑26 PM (Psalm 39)Jesse Lockhart preached from Psalm 39 on the sobering truth that every man at his best state is altogether vanity, reminding the church that human strength, goodness, and effort always come up short without the Lord. He showed how David’s confession of frailty mirrors our own condition—unable to direct our steps, unable to cleanse ourselves, unable to live, worship, or witness without God’s presence. He stressed that we need the Lord not just for salvation but for righteousness, life, conviction, worship, and daily endurance, because without Him churches dry up, hearts grow cold, and people lose the sense of their need. The message pressed deeply on the danger of self‑sufficiency, the emptiness of skin‑deep religion, and the hope found only in Christ, who fills the gaps when we step out in faith. His closing plea was simple and urgent: we need Him every hour, and without Him we can do nothing. Location: Whitwell, Tennessee   Fairview Union Church
