Sermon the Week; John Piper: Faith That Moves: Hebrews 11 Explained

Sermon of the Week, Adrian Rogers: Vanishing Values

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2023978/fan_mail/new] Our nation is caught in a struggle over its values—a battle over who is right and who is wrong, over what is righteous and what is reckless. The very morals and ethics that once served as the backbone of this land are being chipped away right before our eyes. What used to be celebrated is now questioned, and what used to be questioned is now celebrated. The ground beneath us is shifting, and the soul of the nation is crying out for clarity, conviction, and courage. But whenever a people lose their moral compass, God raises up voices who refuse to bow to confusion. Voices that call us back to truth, back to righteousness, back to the foundations that do not move. This is not the hour for silence—it is the hour for spiritual clarity, moral courage, and prophetic conviction.   Each month, Elder Tolliver offers a spiritually encouraging book to help you in your walk with Christ for any size donation.

A Spotlight on the Scriptures: Job 1:20-21: When Everything Falls Apart, Turn to Worship

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2023978/fan_mail/new] This is a Spotlight on the Scriptures: Job 1:20-21 Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head and fell on the ground and worshiped. And he said, “Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.” Praise in the Dark: A Word from Job’s Ashes Don’t miss this, saints—Job didn’t just cry, he didn’t just complain, he didn’t just collapse. The Bible says he fell to the ground and worshiped. After the loss. After the heartbreak. After the funeral. After the fire. He knew where to turn when everything fell apart. He didn’t run from God—he bowed before Him. We come into this world naked, with nothing in our hands. And let me tell you something: the only way we won’t go to the grave naked is if somebody else dresses us for it. That’s the truth. You can’t take your house, your car, your degrees, or your designer suits with you. You leave it all behind. Job understood that. He said, “The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”  That’s not bitterness—that’s boldness. That’s not defeat—that’s devotion. Job didn’t just praise God in the sunshine—he praised Him in the storm. And that’s where your breakthrough lives. Anybody can shout when the bills are paid and the body is healthy. But can you worship when the casket is closed? Can you lift your hands when your heart is heavy? Can you say “Hallelujah” when hell is breaking loose? Because that’s where heaven leans in. That’s where angels take notes. That’s where God says, “Now that’s my child.” So, if you’re walking through the valley, don’t wait for the light—praise Him in the dark. Because the same God who gives is the God who governs. And the same God who allows loss is the God who brings life.

Deep Dive: Radical Love

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2023978/fan_mail/new] Pastor Kevin Smith explores the profound nature of divine love as presented in the Gospel of John. He argues that true Christian love is not mere sentimentality but a transformative power that requires consistent obedience and produces lasting joy. By abiding in Christ, believers are empowered to mirror the Father’s perfect affection through self-sacrifice and a commitment to communal unity across diverse backgrounds. Smith emphasizes that this relationship is initiated by divine sovereignty, meaning individuals are chosen by grace rather than by their own merit. Ultimately, the text highlights that relying on Christ alone is the only way to experience a life marked by spiritual fruit and authentic devotion.   Each month, Elder Tolliver offers a spiritually encouraging book to help you in your walk with Christ for any size donation.

Deep Dive: Psalm 23; What If “The Lord Is My Shepherd” Is A Legal Defense Against Despair

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2023978/fan_mail/new] Elder Michael Tolliver explores Psalm 23 by framing God’s promises as landmark legal and spiritual precedents. The author parallels historical civil rights victories with the crucifixion of Jesus, suggesting both provide a foundation of authority for believers to claim their rights and protection. By analyzing the relationship between a shepherd and his sheep, the text emphasizes a transition from collective faith to a deeply personal connection with the Divine. The imagery of the rod and staff illustrates how God provides both defense against external threats and gentle internal correction. Ultimately, the message offers comfort by depicting divine goodness and mercy as constant guardians that ensure a believer’s security through life’s metaphorical shadows   Each month, Elder Tolliver offers a spiritually encouraging book to help you in your walk with Christ for any size donation.
