Salvation clear
Preaching from John chapter 3, Pastor Pierucki lays out the clarity of God's salvation, showing that eternal life is a free gift received by faith in Christ and not earned by works, baptism, or a changed life. Drawing on passages throughout the New Testament, he stresses that salvation is finished and complete in Christ and freely offered to everyone. The message closes with a call for those who struggle with assurance to settle their salvation once and for all.
Asking God
Preaching from Matthew 14 and the account of Peter walking on the water, Pastor Pierucki shows that God has already made His will clear on many things, including salvation, prayer, confession, witnessing, and walking with Him. He surveys the many miracles the disciples witnessed, yet notes how they still struggled with faith, and he reminds us that Christ prays for us that our faith would not fail. The message closes with an extended teaching on scriptural baptism by immersion as a testimony of faith that follows salvation, ahead of a baptism service.
Phil 4
Dale Moore teaches through the opening verses of Philippians 4, focusing on Paul's love for the Philippian believers and what it means to long for the things of God, including our calling, righteousness, and the salvation of others. He works through the theme of the books God keeps, especially the book of life, showing how God records names and never blots out the name of the saved. The message also encourages having grace toward one another, valuing true fellow laborers, and being ready to stand fast in the Lord.
Grace
Preaching from Ephesians 2 and the account of Noah in Genesis 6, Pastor Pierucki explains that grace is the unmerited favor of God that no one can earn. He traces grace through the lives of Cain, Abraham, David, Peter, and Paul, and answers those who argue for works salvation by showing from Scripture that salvation is a free gift received through faith. He reminds believers what they were before Christ, calls them trophies of God's grace, and stresses that even our service and works flow from that same grace.
God's school Wisdom
Pastor Pierucki preaches on the wisdom of God, showing from Proverbs that godly wisdom is the principal thing and far surpasses the wisdom and riches men chase after. He explains that only God can bind up the broken heart and comfort those who mourn, that the things of God are known through His Spirit, and that we should seek that wisdom above all. The message calls believers to be soul winners and faithful friends, pointing to Christ as the greatest soul winner and urging us to be like Him.
The word of God to the world BLMF message
Preaching a Bible Literature Missionary Foundation message from Psalm 68, Pastor Pierucki makes the case that the church should lead the world in publishing and distributing the Word of God. He teaches that we labor together with God by sowing and watering the seed while God gives the increase, and he shows that sinners must be born again through the incorruptible seed of God's Word. The message defends the King James Bible as the true and living Word, calls believers to give bountifully and cheerfully to get Scripture into every language, and reminds us that God's Word will not return void.
Little clip whiter than snow
In this brief message, Pastor Pierucki points to the freshly fallen snow as a picture of how the blood of Christ washes a sinner clean. He stresses that no religious experience or human works can save, only receiving Christ as Savior. The clip closes with the assurance that salvation brings forgiveness, eternal life, perfect peace, and freedom from the fear of death.
Eternal judgment
Jonathan Pennington preaches on the fear of the Lord, showing from Matthew 10 that believers should not fear those who can only kill the body but should have a healthy reverence for God who holds power over soul and body. He walks through the judgment of the day of the Lord in Isaiah and Revelation, describing the seals, trumpets, the great white throne judgment, and the lake of fire, then contrasts this with the new heaven and new earth. The message urges the lost to trust Christ for salvation before it is too late and reminds believers to warn others of what awaits those who reject God.
Thanksgiving
Preaching from 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Pastor Pierucki gives a Thanksgiving message on being thankful in everything as the will of God. He walks through many reasons for gratitude, including right biblical faith that does not stagger at the promises of God, the family of God, godly friends, and true fellowship among believers. Sharing stories from his own life and ministry, he calls Christians to be sure of their salvation, to love the unlovely, and to stand fast with one mind in the local church.
Persuading
Pastor Pierucki reflects on his message that salvation is a free gift, fully paid for by the blood of Christ and offered to all men according to God's will. He warns that pride and trust in man's religion keep people from being saved and points to God's power over both soul and body. The message closes with a plea for the lost to humble themselves, yield to the Spirit, and receive Christ as Savior.
