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.
Whole heart seeking is needed
Preaching from Psalm 119, Pastor Pierucki emphasizes the repeated call to seek God with the whole heart and warns against being half-hearted or double-minded in our walk with Him. He explains salvation as a work of the heart, defends free will against Calvinist error, and stresses the need for sincere, whole-hearted prayer. The message closes with a call to draw near to God, love Him fully, and take all that He offers.
Mysteries of God
Mark Palmer preaches through the many mysteries of God revealed in Scripture, beginning with the mystery of godliness in 1 Timothy 3:16 and tracing Christ manifest in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen of angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed on in the world, and received up into glory. He also touches on the mystery of Christ in the believer, Christ and the church, the blindness of Israel, the rapture, and the mystery of iniquity. Throughout the message he repeatedly urges every Christian to read the Bible and pray a lot as the way to grow in faith and closeness to God.
Follow Jesus only by his word- accountable.
Pastor Pierucki preaches on what it means to follow Jesus Christ, teaching that we can only truly follow Him by following the Word of God and that we will be held accountable and judged out of the books He has written. Tracing the many places where Jesus called men to follow Him, he stresses that discipleship costs us friendships, family, and comfort, and he warns against rebellion, pride, and lukewarmness while urging a willing heart surrendered to God. Along the way he defends the King James Bible, salvation as the free gift of God by grace through faith, eternal security, and the command to love one another even when people depart from the truth.
Don't hide the gospel
Preaching from 2 Corinthians 4, Micah Reaves reminds believers that every Christian has a ministry to share the gospel and must not faint in the day of adversity. He warns against handling the word of God deceitfully, against work salvation and the prosperity gospel, and calls Christians to let their light shine rather than hide the gospel from a lost world. The message closes with the reminder that true belief leads to action and that we live for the eternal, not the temporal.
Concl of Phi. 4
Filling in for Pastor Pierucki, Dale Moore concludes the study of Philippians 4, working through Paul's exhortation to think on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report. He emphasizes spiritual growth and maturity, learning contentment in every circumstance, following godly examples as they follow Christ, and trusting God to supply every need. The message closes on the four basic needs of salvation, assurance, wisdom, and comfort, pointing to Christ as the source of strength for all things.
Proverbs 31
Mark Palmer works verse by verse through Proverbs 31, showing that the whole chapter records the words a godly mother taught her young son, King Lemuel, before he became king. He explains that the passage warns against drinking and worldly ways, and describes the virtuous woman as one who brings her husband peace, cares diligently for her household, and works with her hands. The central point is that the fear of the Lord is the key to it all, and that a virtuous woman raises godly sons.
Jesus in Col. chapter 1
Preaching from Colossians chapter 1, Pastor Pierucki works through the passage verse by verse while bringing in many supporting Scriptures to show who Jesus Christ truly is. He emphasizes the inheritance believers have in Christ, our redemption through His blood, and the difference between the Son and the Father while affirming the deity of Christ. The message calls believers to assurance of salvation, to walk with God daily, and to live as peculiar people zealous of good works.
Matt 28 Ambassadors
Preaching from the Great Commission in Matthew 28, Jonathan Pennington reminds us that the purpose of a New Testament church is to reach the lost and not become a Jesus-themed social club. He shows from Romans 10, Acts 8, and 2 Corinthians 5 how people cannot be saved without someone sharing the gospel, and he calls believers to take seriously their role as ambassadors for Christ. Pastor Pierucki closes with an exhortation on the urgency of soul winning and the value of printing ministries in getting the Word of God to a lost world.
Phil. 4 Think on ....
Dale Moore preaches from Philippians 4, focusing on Paul's instruction to not be full of care but to make our requests known to God with thanksgiving. He works through the list of things believers are to think on, showing from many passages what it means to dwell on things that are true, honest, just, pure, and lovely. The message urges constant communication with the Lord, honest dealings with all men, and a settled trust that brings the peace of God.
