Sounding the alarm-6-26-26-Laynes chapel revival

Brother Chris Long preached with urgency from Joel 2, calling the church to “sound the alarm” for a lost world as he reminded the congregation that God’s presence was still moving in revival and His grace was the only reason any of us are saved. He shared his own testimony of salvation in 1991 and the years-long struggle before surrendering to the call to preach, emphasizing how God never gave up on him. Using the imagery of alarms—wake‑up alarms, fire alarms, burglar alarms, and storm sirens—he warned that the church has grown sleepy, silent, and distracted while souls are in danger, and he urged believers to wake up, speak up, and stand in the gap for family, friends, and neighbors before judgment comes. His message pressed the need for compassion, vigilance, and spiritual warfare, reminding listeners that storms, danger, and the enemy are real, but God still calls His people to warn, to watch, and to work while there is time.     Location: Layne’s Chapel Revival, Whitwell TN

1 Samuel 4-10-22-6-25-26-Chris Long

Brother Chris Long preaches with a heavy burden about the danger of drifting from God’s presence, using Israel’s loss of the ark in 1 Samuel 4 as a mirror for the modern church. He warns that sin—especially the quiet, tolerated kind—slowly drains the glory from a believer’s life until they’re only going through motions, treating God like a spare tire instead of their daily source of strength. With honesty about his own seasons of dryness, he urges the congregation to examine themselves, repent, seek the Lord earnestly, and return to real worship marked by conviction, humility, and the unmistakable touch of the Holy Ghost. His message presses the church to ask when they last truly felt God’s presence—and to refuse to settle for anything less than His glory restored.   Location: Whitwell, Tennessee — Fairview Union Church

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.
