Gospel of John
Pastor Pierucki gives an overview of the Gospel of John, moving through all twenty-one chapters and showing how the book presents Jesus Christ as God and Savior to the whole world. He answers groups that deny the deity of Christ, gathers up the many promises of everlasting life found throughout the book, and shows that assurance rests on what God has written rather than on feelings or experiences. He closes by calling believers to die to self, to remember they are sent by God, and to speak to the lost while there is still time.
Characteristics of Our Father
Mark Palmer works through a list of character traits of God the Father, showing from passage after passage that He loves, cares for, forgives, understands, accepts, satisfies, pursues, pardons, heals, redeems, and renews His children. Beginning at John 3:16 and moving through Psalms, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and the Gospels, he stresses taking ownership of sin, letting God reason with us and walk us out of it, and waiting on the Lord for renewed strength. His practical counsel throughout is simple: read your Bible and pray a lot, and brag on God rather than on yourself.
Job and his Redeemer
Preaching from Job 19, John Brewer looks at the character of Job, a mature, upright man who feared God and turned from evil, and at the suffering God allowed to come into his life. He shows that even before Exodus and Ruth were written, Job by faith could see the redemption, the resurrection, and the return of Christ, and knew he would one day stand before his Redeemer in a resurrected body. The message calls believers to walk with God so closely that He gives them the kind of insight and relationship Job had.
Popcorn Preaching
In this popcorn preaching service, Nathan Grossman, Jonathan Pennington, and Micah Reaves each bring a short message. Nathan compares the physical benefits of water to the spiritual benefits of the word of God, showing from Genesis 1 and John 3 and 4 that the new birth comes through the water of the word and the Spirit. Jonathan gives practical help for personal Bible study, explaining words and grammar in the King James Bible and how the books of scripture are arranged, and Micah preaches on life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, showing that true life, freedom, and joy are found only through Jesus Christ.
Jonah
Pastor Pierucki walks through the book of Jonah verse by verse, showing that no one can flee from the presence of the Lord and that disobedience always carries a cost. He draws out the picture of Christ in Jonah's three days in the fish, warns against false religion and work salvation, and calls believers to obey the Spirit in witnessing and to keep a right heart even while serving God. The message closes on the mercy of a God who knows everything about us and still saves us.
Philemon
Preaching through the short epistle of Philemon, Pastor Pierucki highlights the close, loving relationships shared among believers in the early churches. He points out how Paul called himself a prisoner of Christ out of love, and how the story of Onesimus teaches us to do the right thing, forgive, and receive one another as beloved brethren. The message closes with a call to be doers of the Word and to keep a right spirit toward God and others.
Popcorn Preaching
This service features three short messages from different speakers. Joseph Guevara, working from the account of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch, urges believers to preach Jesus alone rather than themselves, works, or any other person or religion, because only Christ can save. Mark Palmer's second message from Revelation 3 encourages the church that God has set before it an open door and asks only for a little strength, and then Dale Moore's third message from Psalm 81 calls hearers to forsake idols, open their mouths wide, and let God fill them.
Jude
Pastor Pierucki preaches a verse by verse study through the entire book of Jude, highlighting key phrases along the way. He emphasizes being servants of Christ, the security of salvation through the preserving work of God, and the call to earnestly contend for the one true faith. The message warns against ungodly men who creep into churches, defends the King James Bible, and contends strongly against Calvinism and Lordship salvation while presenting salvation as a free gift of God.
Why We Use the King James Bible
This message makes the case for using the King James Bible exclusively, instead of modern versions like the New King James, NIV, ESV, NASB, RSV, CSB, and NLT. He walks through specific verses where these modern versions reverse the meaning of the original text, introduce contradictions not present in the KJV, reject salvation by grace through faith, attack the eternal sonship of Christ, and grossly pervert God's law in terrible ways. He closes in Revelation 22, warning that anyone who adds to or takes away from God's words invites serious judgment, and presents corrupted modern Bible versions as part of Satan's ongoing effort to make people doubt God's word.
Kings Continued
Pastor Pierucki continues his walk through 2 Kings, beginning in Hebrews 11 and 1 John 3 on faith and on being the sons of God, then reviewing the fire from heaven in chapter 1, Elisha's double portion, the widow's vessels of oil, Naaman's cleansing, Gehazi's greed, and the recovered axe head. He centers the message on 2 Kings 6, where Elisha's servant has his eyes opened to see the horses and chariots of fire, and he ties it to Psalms 91 and personal accounts of God's protection in his own life. He closes with the four lepers of chapter 7 who said they did not well to keep good news to themselves, urging hearers to seek God first, get their lives in order, and take the gospel to a lost world.
Habakkuk 3
Dale Moore begins a study of Habakkuk 3, opening with the prophet's prayer and his fear at hearing from God, then his plea for God to revive His work. He works through prayers in Psalms 7, 86, and 90, the fear of God's word seen in Pharaoh's servants in Exodus 9, Josiah's tender heart in 2 Kings 22 and 2 Chronicles 34, and Jehoiakim burning the scroll in Jeremiah 36, urging hearers to let the Bible convict them rather than close it. He then turns to verse 3 and the second advent, showing from Acts 1, Deuteronomy 33, Judges 5, and Numbers 20 that the Lord's return begins at Sinai and follows the king's highway.
Halfway through the year - Last Days
Halfway through the year, Pastor Pierucki steps out of his book by book preaching to explain why the church does what it does, starting in Philippians 3 with Paul's desire to know Christ and pressing toward the mark. He warns from Matthew 15, Acts 20, and 2 Corinthians 11 about false teachers, sheep stealers, and the traditions and commandments of men, then answers baptismal regeneration, the teaching that a believer can lose his salvation, the five points of Calvinism, and replacement theology from the Scriptures. He closes with the kindness of God toward the unthankful and the evil, the warnings of Proverbs 1 about refusing God's reproof, and a call to spend the time God has given being used by Him.
1 Kings: Hearing God
Pastor Pierucki finishes his overview of 1 Kings, working through Elijah at the brook Cherith, the widow of Zarephath and the principle of taking care of God's servants, the contest with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, and Elijah's depression under the juniper tree. He turns aside to 1 Corinthians 9 and 1 Timothy 5 on supporting pastors and missionaries, tells how the church's prophet's chamber and mission giving have grown, and warns against the empty show of false religion. He closes on the still small voice, sharing personal accounts of God speaking to him at his salvation, in his call to Romania, and on a sledding hill with his son, and asks whether hearers truly know God.
Fruit
Mark Palmer teaches on the difference between good fruit and bad fruit, starting in Matthew 7 where the Lord says a tree is known by what it produces. He works through corrupt fruit, shallow roots, shame and death, withering, and disobedience, then turns to the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5, being rooted in Christ in Colossians 2, and the flourishing tree of Psalms 1 and Psalms 92, urging believers to read their Bible and pray a lot so their roots go deep. Pastor Pierucki follows with remarks on salvation as a gift received by surrender rather than works, and on staying surrendered to God's will even after being hurt by people.
The Lords Supper
Pastor Pierucki teaches on the Lord's Supper as a memorial service given to the local church, beginning in 1 Corinthians 12:27 and working through 1 Corinthians 11:20-34. He explains why the body of Christ in Scripture is a local assembly, compares open, close, and closed positions on communion alongside the church's practice on baptism, and defends unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine as the proper elements. He then shows that eating unworthily points to self-righteousness rather than lost salvation, using John the Baptist, the centurion, and the prodigal son as examples, and closes in Psalms 22 on what Christ suffered on the cross.
Romans 8:12-27
Micah Reaves continues his verse-by-verse study of Romans 8, picking up at verse 11 and working through verse 27. He covers what it means to be debtors not to the flesh but to the Spirit, being led by the Spirit, adoption into the family of God, being joint heirs with Christ, the groaning of creation under sin, and the Spirit making intercession for us when we do not know how to pray. Along the way he draws in Romans 6, 1 Corinthians 6, 2 Corinthians 4, and Jeremiah 12, and urges believers to treat one another as a family and to keep waiting patiently for the redemption of the body.
The Love of a Father
Preached on Father's Day, Pastor Pierucki works through Solomon's downfall in 1 Kings 11, where the wisest man who ever lived disobeyed God's clear warning and let his wives turn his heart away. He then turns to Romans 7, Galatians 5, Philippians 3, Ephesians 5, 1 John 1, and 1 Corinthians 13 to show that believers still battle the flesh, that we are kept by grace and not by our own righteousness, and that love, not force, is what moves a wife to submit, a child to obey, and a church to serve. He warns against alcohol, pride, and self-righteousness, urges hearers to forget past failures and keep their eyes on Christ, and reminds fathers that good homes built on the Word of God make good churches.
Luke 16:19
Joseph Guevara preaches from the account of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16, showing that hell is a real place of torment where the lost plead for mercy, believe too late, and worry over loved ones still living, and that there is no escape from it. He then contrasts the rich young ruler of Mark 10, who trusted his riches and his keeping of the commandments, with Zacchaeus in Luke 19, who was saved the day he believed, and explains Abraham's bosom and why salvation has always been by grace through faith. Pastor Pierucki follows with remarks on why the law never saved anyone, using Galatians 3 and Hebrews 11, and warns that modern Bible translations remove hell and turn salvation into a process.
1st Kings: Part 1
Pastor Pierucki begins an overview of 1 Kings, starting with Adonijah exalting himself as king and Solomon being set on the throne, then working through David's charge to Solomon, Solomon's request for an understanding heart at Gibeon, the judgment between the two harlots, and the building and dedication of the temple. Along the way he warns against pride and self-appointed men, defends scriptural authority through a sending church, and argues that ministries belong under a local church with real accountability and submission. He also answers Calvinism from the preaching of the prophets, calls out popular false teachers, and reminds hearers that only Jesus Christ can forgive sins, not a priest.
The Crown Rewards
Mark Palmer walks through the crowns promised to believers in the New Testament, beginning in Revelation 3 with the warning to hold fast so that no man takes your crown. He covers the crown of righteousness in 2 Timothy 4, the crown of life in James 1 and Revelation 2, the crown of glory in 1 Peter 5, the incorruptible crown in 1 Corinthians 9, and the crown of rejoicing in 1 Thessalonians 2, showing the qualification and the reward attached to each. His repeated point is simple: rewards are lost by quitting, so keep serving, keep reading the Bible, keep praying, and keep telling others about Jesus. Pastor Pierucki closes with remarks on the seriousness of our choices, putting God first before family, and living with a surrendered heart.
2 Samuel 15 Part 2 First 17 min. no sound, sorry
Pastor Pierucki concludes his study of 2 Samuel with a wide-ranging application message on the heart, using Absalom's outward beauty as a warning against judging by appearance and David's numbering of the people as a warning against building on numbers. He marks out the signs of false teachers, questions whether people know us as prayer warriors, students of the Word, and witnesses, and warns that saying a prayer is not the same as being born again. He closes by pressing hearers to present themselves as living sacrifices, to reject the world's rebellion against God's order, and to ask God to make them good ground. The first 17 minutes of this recording have no sound.
Habakkuk 2
Dale Moore continues his study of Habakkuk 2, beginning at verse 12 and working to the end of the chapter. He traces the woe pronounced on the city built with blood through Jeremiah 22, Ezekiel 24, Micah 3, and Job 24, showing how Jerusalem became a bloody city and how Nebuchadnezzar's invasion pictures the Antichrist and the Tribulation. He also covers the emptiness of laboring for vanity, the coming millennial reign when the earth is filled with the knowledge of the Lord, the strong delusion of 2 Thessalonians 2, and why God hates idols, closing with the reminder from Hebrews 1 that Christ is the express image of God and the only image believers worship.
Mercies of God
Joseph Guevara preaches from 2 Peter 2:6-9, where God calls Lot just, righteous, and godly, and shows how the Lord knows how to deliver His people out of temptation. He points out that Lot's soul was vexed by what he saw and heard every day in Sodom because he had no church, no fellowship, and no godly friends, and warns that believers who neglect the Word of God, prayer, and the assembly will find their souls in the same condition. He also works through Romans 3 and 4, Galatians 3, and Habakkuk's statement that the just shall live by faith to show that no man is justified by works, and closes by asking what temptations we face and whether we still take time to meditate on God's Word.
Be Prepared
Dale Moore opens with everyday examples of preparation, packing for a trip or getting ready for church, and turns to Amos 4:12 to press the question of whether we are prepared to meet God. Working through Joshua 5, the plagues and the Passover in Exodus, Deuteronomy 8, and Colossians 2, he shows how God dealt with the flesh, rolled away the reproach of Egypt, went before His people to prepare the land, and blotted out our sin at the cross. He closes with the sober warning of 1 Peter 5:8 and the uncertain trumpet of 1 Corinthians 14:8, urging believers to be prayed up, separated from the world, and ready for the battles that come.
