The Judgments of God
Mark Palmer teaches on the two judgments of God found in Scripture, distinguishing the judgment seat of Christ for believers from the great white throne judgment for the lost. He explains that the believer's judgment concerns rewards and crowns for works done for Christ, not condemnation, since salvation is settled forever by the blood of Jesus. He then presents the white throne judgment where the lost are judged by their works, and closes with a clear gospel appeal that salvation is a free gift received by faith, not earned by good works.
Romans Chapter 7
Micah Reaves teaches through Romans chapter 7 verse by verse, explaining how the believer is dead to the law through the body of Christ and now belongs to Him to bring forth fruit unto God. He walks through the ongoing struggle between the flesh and the spirit, using personal testimony to warn how small compromises lead to bigger ones, and stresses that we must keep fighting sin because we lose when we stop fighting. The message closes by pointing to Jesus Christ as the only deliverance from the body of this death.
Gods Heart
Preaching from Jeremiah 17:9, Mark Palmer warns against following your own deceitful heart and urges believers to seek after God's heart instead. Drawing from many passages, he shows the consequences of trusting your own feelings, exposes false prophets who speak from their own imagination, and repeatedly calls hearers to read their Bible and pray a lot. The message closes with a plain gospel appeal to know the heart of God through salvation in Jesus Christ.
Faithful Stewards
Jonathan Pennington opens a study on stewardship from 1 Corinthians 4, explaining that a steward manages what belongs to someone else and that everything we have, including our bodies, talents, possessions, and children, belongs to God. He shows from Scripture that God is both the creator and sustainer of all things and cares deeply for each of us, and he calls believers to use all God has given them for God's glory rather than their own advantage. The message closes with David's prayer in 1 Chronicles 29 and a challenge to consider how we can be faithful stewards of our lives.
Habakkuk cont.
Continuing his study through Habakkuk, Dale Moore covers the prophet's complaint and the Lord's answer that He would raise up the Chaldeans to punish an unfaithful Judah. He shows how the same Scripture can be applied in different ways in preaching without correcting the Bible, using examples from Isaiah, Acts, Romans, and Nahum, and he stresses that judgment came because the people trusted their own works instead of God. The message closes with gratitude for salvation and the promise that believers will be taken up before the tribulation.
New Testament overview
In the second part of a two-part survey, Pastor Pierucki gives an overview of the entire New Testament, walking book by book from the Gospels through Revelation. He shows how each book presents a picture of Jesus Christ, points out numerous promises of eternal life in the Gospel of John, and defends the deity of Christ and the security of the believer against changes made in modern translations. The message encourages every Christian to have a working knowledge of the Word of God and to earnestly contend for the faith.
Sower and the seed
Evangelist John Brewer preaches from the parable of the sower in Matthew 13, showing how the same message can produce different results depending on the condition of the hearer's heart. He describes four spiritual mindsets: the closed mind that refuses to obey, the cloudy mind with no depth or roots, the cluttered mind choked by worldly cares, and the committed mind that receives the Word and bears fruit. The message challenges believers to be doers of the Word who grow in grace rather than remaining spiritually stagnant.
Habakkuk part 2
Continuing his study in the book of Habakkuk, Dale Moore works through the opening verses where the prophet cries out to God over the violence and injustice around him. He teaches that believers ought to carry a burden for their families, the lost, and the backslidden, and warns against calling on God only in times of crisis instead of maintaining a daily walk with Him. The message closes with a personal testimony about forgiveness and the truth that even the worst sinners, like Saul of Tarsus, can still be saved.
OT survey intro
Pastor Pierucki opens a new series with an introduction to an Old Testament survey, beginning in 2 Peter 1 to establish that all Scripture is inspired and given by holy men moved by the Holy Ghost. He walks quickly through the layout of the Old Testament, from the five books of Moses to the historical books, poetry, and the major and minor prophets, showing how the New Testament confirms the Old and how the whole Bible points to Christ. Along the way he stresses that God gave His people an instruction book to obey, warns against Calvinism and modern translations that remove eternal judgment, and calls believers to rebuild their walls and get right with God.
The New Covenant
Pastor Pierucki traces the covenants of God from Noah and Abraham through Moses and into the new covenant established by Jesus Christ, showing that a covenant is God's promise to us and not something we make with Him. Preaching mainly from Hebrews 8 through 10, he explains that the law was perfect but the people could not keep it, that Christ our high priest offered His own blood once for all, and that salvation cannot be earned or lost. The message encourages believers not to fear failure but to surrender their lives to God who is faithful to keep His promises.
Transfiguration
Preaching from the account of the transfiguration in Matthew 17, Joseph Guevara shows how those who draw close to the Lord Jesus Christ are given to see His glory, just as Peter, James, and John did on the mountain. He explains the Father's proclamation that we are to hear Christ, and he presents the gospel plainly to the lost, offering Christ as the light, the bread of life, the living water, and eternal life. The message then turns to believers, calling them to obey the commands of Christ by turning the other cheek, loving their enemies, and forgiving others as God has forgiven them. Pastor Pierucki closes with remarks from 2 Peter 1 on placing our faith in the preserved Word of God.
Bible Institute - The Home
In this Bible Institute session on the Christian home, Pastor Pierucki teaches from Ephesians 4:31-32 on six things that must be put out of the home, including bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, evil speaking, and malice, and the three things needed in their place: kindness, tenderheartedness, and forgiveness. He walks through the trilogy of the home in Psalms 127, 128, and 129, stresses the importance of loving God and establishing a daily family altar, and gives practical instruction on a parent's duty to raise, discipline, and spend time with their children. Pastor Pierucki shares openly from his own upbringing and mistakes to urge families to submit to God and serve one another.
We're Not of This World
Preaching from John 17, Pastor Pierucki reminds believers that we are sent into the world but are not of it, and warns against letting the battles, politics, and troubles of this world consume our hearts and rob us of fruit. He points to our calling as ambassadors of reconciliation, corrects the false teaching that only the good ground in the parable of the sower represents the saved, and calls Christians to feed their faith and weep over the lost. The message closes with the reminder that this world is not our home and that God will fight our battles while we do the work He has given us.
What God thinks in his heart
Pastor Pierucki teaches on what God thinks in His heart toward His people, arguing that religion has pushed God so far away that believers struggle to grasp how much He truly cares for them. Drawing from passages in Jeremiah, Psalms, Isaiah, and the letters of John, he shows that God's thoughts toward us are of peace and not evil, that His love is unconditional, and that His commandments flow from that love and are for our good. The message closes with the assurance of eternal security and the boldness a believer can have knowing he is a child of God.
Eternal security is the only logical truth
Jonathan Pennington lays out a logical proof for the eternal security of the believer, showing that this doctrine is both biblical and reasonable. Drawing from Galatians, Titus, John, Romans, and Jude, he explains that if any single sin could cost you your salvation then every sin would, that a good Father never abandons His children, and that everlasting life which could end was never everlasting at all. He warns that to believe salvation can be lost is to believe in a works based salvation and to call God a liar.
The way of Cain
Preaching from Genesis 4, Mark Palmer walks through the account of Cain and Abel to show how a lost man reacts when God rejects his own works and self-righteousness. He draws practical lessons for witnessing, noting how people often grow angry, refuse to communicate, add to what God actually said, and fear man more than God. The message points to the blood of Jesus Christ as the only cleansing for sin and highlights the mercy of God even in marking and protecting Cain.
Home, marriage
In this Saturday Night Bible Institute session, Pastor Pierucki teaches on the home and marriage as institutions ordained by God, alongside government and the church. He covers the responsibilities of the husband to lead, provide, and support his wife, the responsibilities of the wife, and the importance of biblical submission in the home and in the local church. Throughout, he stresses staying faithful to the Word of God, keeping Christ preeminent, and the danger of departing from right teaching.
Problem text Heb. 6
In this Friday night Bible Institute session, Pastor Pierucki works through several "problem texts," apparent Bible contradictions, and shows how comparing scripture with scripture resolves them. The main study focuses on Hebrews chapter 6, where he explains that the people described were never truly saved but were enlightened, tasted the truth, and then rejected it, rather than being backslidden believers who lost their salvation. He defends eternal security, teaches that the finished work of Christ and His blood are sufficient payment for sin, and warns against pride and work salvation while urging listeners to humble themselves and be born again.
Sit at His Right Hand
Mark Palmer preaches on how obedience to God puts the enemy under our feet. Working through Romans 16, Psalm 110, Joshua 10, and Revelation 20, he shows that the battle belongs to the Lord and that our part is to obey, sit at Christ's right hand, and let God fight for us. He reminds believers that God gives us the credit for the victory He wins, and that Satan will one day be cast into the lake of fire.
Putting Your Foot on the Devil's Head
Preaching from Romans 16:19-20, evangelist Mark Palmer teaches that obedience to God's Word is the key to spiritual victory over the devil. He shows that our part is to submit to God, get out of the fight, and sit still at Christ's right hand while God defeats our enemies for us. Drawing on Psalm 110 and Joshua 10, he reminds believers that God gives us the credit for what He does, and that one day we will place our foot on Satan when he is cast into the lake of fire.
Love like Job
Preaching from the book of Job, Pastor Pierucki shows how Job kept his heart fixed on God and refused to charge God foolishly even after losing everything. He emphasizes that God is good and God is love, that our hearts need to be healed and stayed on Him, and that we must never blame God for the evil in this world. Remarkably, Job trusted God without a written Bible, and Pastor Pierucki calls believers to treasure the Scriptures we have today and rest in the assurance of salvation.
Phl. & Habakkuk
Pastor Moore finishes his study of Philippians, noting how God supplies our needs rather than our wants and pointing to the four basic needs of salvation, assurance, wisdom, and comfort in Christ. He then begins a new study in the minor prophet Habakkuk, showing how the prophet questioned God about unpunished wickedness and learned that the just must live by faith. The message ties Habakkuk's burden to our own day, urging believers to fear the Word of God, pray for mercy on the lost, and carry a real burden for others.
Bible Institute Home, Marriage
Pastor Pierucki opens a Bible Institute series on the Christian home and marriage, prompted by a couple in the church preparing to be wed. Working through Genesis 2, Ephesians 5, and related passages, he lays out God's design for the home, the husband's duty to love his wife as Christ loved the church, and the wife's call to submit and reverence her husband, all grounded in love rather than force. He stresses that obedience to the Word of God blesses the home while departing from it brings self-destruction, and closes with lighthearted quotes from children about marriage.
Bible institute problem text
In this Bible Institute session, Pastor Pierucki teaches on so-called problem texts in the Bible, giving fourteen reasons God included passages that people claim are contradictions. He shows that God is not the author of confusion and that apparent difficulties are cleared up by studying context, comparing scripture with scripture, rightly dividing the word, and depending on the Holy Spirit. He defends eternal security and salvation by grace apart from works, and closes with a warning against false teachers who twist scripture for money and self-glory.
