Unlike most psalms, Psalm 88 closes without relief, resolution, or a visible answer from God. The psalmist feels abandoned, isolated, overwhelmed by grief, and surrounded by darkness. Yet this inspired prayer remains in Scripture to remind believers that God welcomes honest cries from broken hearts. This lesson examines the reality of spiritual darkness, seasons of grief, unanswered questions, loneliness, suffering, and the silence that many faithful people experience. Through Psalm 88 we explore how darkness can shape character, deepen dependence on God, teach perseverance, and help us speak honestly with the Lord. We also examine biblical examples of suffering, the role of lament in worship, the grieving customs found in Scripture, and the hope found in Jesus Christ, who experienced darkness at the cross and overcame it through His resurrection. Scriptures include Psalm 88, Psalm 119:71, Ecclesiastes 7:3, James 1:2-4, Matthew 27:45-46, and other passages dealing with grief, endurance, and faith during life's hardest moments. If you have ever wondered where God is during seasons of pain, loss, depression, loneliness, or unanswered prayer, Psalm 88 offers a voice for your struggle and points toward the One who walks with us through the darkness. 3949 Lithia Pinecrest Rd.

It is in the gospel itself, and behind that power stands the Holy Spirit, whose presence runs straight through the book of Acts. Main text: Acts 1v8 Outline: - The power is in the gospel, not in us (Romans 1v16) - Why we study Acts: the first look through the open door - How we treat the church is how we treat Christ - Acts 1v8: the theme verse and mission plan - The prominence of the Holy Spirit This lesson continues a walk through Acts and asks what the early church actually looked like and how the gospel spread. It pushes back on the urge to make the message palatable, since the gospel starts with our own lostness and points to Jesus as savior rather than a helper while we save ourselves. From Acts 1v8 the study traces the word for power, dunamis, into Romans 1v16 and 1 Corinthians 2, and recovers the Holy Spirit as the very power of God at work in the word. It closes back in Acts 1, where the apostles wait ten days in prayer and prepare to restore their number to twelve. Originally Aired: 2026-06-14 3949 Lithia Pinecrest Rd.

God exposes Judah’s rebellion, empty worship, spiritual sickness, and moral corruption, yet He also extends one of the Bible’s greatest invitations: “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” This lesson explores the charge against rebellious children, the contrast with obedient creatures, the condition of a sinful nation, the consequences of hollow religion, and God’s call to repentance. We also consider Isaiah’s larger message of judgment, holiness, mercy, the coming Messiah, and the hope of redemption. Isaiah reminds every generation that rebellion leads to ruin, but God continues to call sinners back to Himself. His message is both a warning and an invitation: Return to the Lord and receive His mercy. 3949 Lithia Pinecrest Rd.

Brandon, FL 33596 1816.569184 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7khMuRv_6yA A life of worship is not bounded by Sunday morning or Wednesday night. Luke Beggs works through Exodus 34v14, Romans 12v2, and Hebrews 12v1-2 to show that God is jealous, worthy, and deserving of worship, and that the right response is a 24/7 life of heart, mind, and conduct turned toward Him. Main text: Exodus 34v14 Outline: - God is jealous of worship, so we ought to worship in assembly - God is worthy of worship, so we ought to worship in thought - God is deserving of worship, so we ought to worship in a faithful life Why does God's own name carry "Jealous" with it, and what does that say about the way we sing, pray, commune, give, and listen on Sunday? Luke draws a hard line between Isaiah's "lips near, heart far" worshipers in Matthew 15v7-9 and a gathered church whose hearts are actually in the room. From there the lesson moves inward, calling for the renewed mind of Romans 12v2 and Ephesians 4v20-24, and the captive thoughts of 2 Corinthians 10v5 over against a culture that says to escape your mind rather than fill it with God. It closes at the cross, walking through Ephesians 2v1-9 and 1 Peter 1v3-9 to ask what kind of life is owed to a God who earned our worship by dying for us.

This opening lesson in a new series on Acts walks through Acts 1v1-11 to recover that story, anchor the church in the resurrection, and call every listener to real discipleship. Main text: Acts 1v1-11 Outline: - Origin stories matter, and without ours we drift - Acts is the sequel to Luke's gospel, written to Theophilus - Dating Acts between Paul's Roman house arrest and AD 70 - The power for evangelism is the gospel, not us (Romans 1v16) - God's timing, not ours, and a call to real conversion Acts is not ancient history. It is the church's origin story, and forgetting it means becoming something we were never meant to be. This lesson ties Acts to Luke's gospel, traces Luke the beloved physician as author, and places the book between Paul's house arrest in AD 61 or 62 and the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70. From there it turns to the heart of the matter: the gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, and the power belongs to God's word, not our packaging. Stop fretting over outcomes, trust God's timing, and let the conversions in Acts move you toward the real thing. Originally Aired: 2026-06-07 3949 Lithia Pinecrest Rd.

Main text: Matthew 11v28-30 Outline: - The rest of Jesus is holy time (Genesis 2v1-3; Mark 1v35) - The rest of Jesus is asleep in the storm (Matthew 8v20, 23-27) - The rest of Jesus is quiet solitude (Mark 6v30-34) - The rest of Jesus is an easy yoke (Matthew 11v28-30) - The rest of Jesus is now, the Sabbath rest that remains (Hebrews 4v9-11) From Genesis 2 to Hebrews 4, Scripture frames rest as a sanctuary in time, not a leftover at the end of the week. Jesus inherited that pattern: rising before dawn to pray, sleeping through the storm, calling weary apostles away to a deserted place, and offering a yoke shaped to fit our shoulders. Illustrations from Ernest Shackleton on Elephant Island, Hudson Taylor's 1869 letter, and a sleeping child on her father's chest carry the weight of the lesson. The invitation is practical and present-tense: reclaim slow holy moments, name the storms you cannot fix, schedule real solitude, take the easy yoke, and step into the Sabbath rest Jesus completed when he said, "It is finished."

He shows from 1 Corinthians 12v4-7 and 12v12-31 that God intentionally placed each member in the body and gave each one a measure of grace according to Ephesians 4v7.

Chaz Austin walks through Matthew, Mark, and Luke to show why disciple-making is a personal charge to every Christian, not something you outsource to a preacher, a missionary, or a check in the collection plate. Main text: Matthew 28v18-20 Outline: - Kingdom Commission is a prescribed message - Kingdom Commission is a personal mandate - Kingdom Commission is a planetary mission - Kingdom Commission is a progressive mentorship When was the last time you sat down with someone and shared Jesus? When was the last time you intentionally discipled a younger believer? Those two questions frame a lesson on what Jesus actually entrusted to His followers in Matthew 28v18-20, Mark 16v15-16, Luke 24v47, and Acts 8v1-4. Disciple-making is a prescribed message about both sin and the Savior, a personal "go me" assignment, a mission to every nation including our own backyard, and a lifelong mentorship that does not end at baptism. The closing illustration of the SS United States, a warship built for battle that drifted into comfort, becomes a warning against a church that does the same.

The warning is for any Christian tempted to coast. Main text: Revelation 3v11-22 Outline: - Satan's four tactics: pride, power, pleasure, possessions (Matthew 4) - Philadelphia: three promises and three names for the faithful (Revelation 3v11-13) - Laodicea: lukewarm, self-sufficient, and spiritually blind (Revelation 3v14-17) - Jesus' counsel: gold refined in fire, white garments, and eye salve (Revelation 3v18) - The compassionate rebuke and the door He still knocks on (Revelation 3v19-22) Even good churches can be undone when their hearts drift, so the same Jesus who praises Philadelphia for endurance also tells Laodicea He would rather they were cold than indifferent. The lesson works through Laodicea's three civic boasts (wealth, black wool, eye salve) and shows how Jesus turns each one back on their spiritual condition. There is no "secret agent" Christianity; a faith no one can see has already failed. The invitation closes with the narrow gate of Matthew 7 and the voice of the Shepherd at the door.

But what does that actually require of us? This Sunday we work through eight calls hidden inside one invitation: to be with Him, listen to Him, submit to Him, think and teach and live like Him, die like Him, and finally go to Him. Each one asks for something real. From Garibaldi offering his troops "hunger, thirst, and death," to a missionary family in Assam who sang "No turning back" with their lives on the line, we'll ask the honest question: how serious are we, really?

We all carry a quiet list of the things we hope people will say about us. But whose praise are we really living for? This Sunday evening we listen as Jesus describes John the Baptist and asks the crowd a piercing question: "What did you go out to see?" Not a reed shaking in the wind. Not a man in soft robes. A prophet, and more than a prophet. Through four portraits, we'll ask what kind of person we're becoming, and whether we'd rather be famous before men or faithful before God. From Sir Nicholas Winton, the "British Schindler" who saved 669 children and never sought the credit, to a weary missionary reminded "you are not home yet," this is a call to live so that all who come behind us find us faithful. Scripture reading: Matthew 11v1-11. Join us tomorrow evening. The applause of heaven outlasts the applause of earth. 3949 Lithia Pinecrest Rd.

The harder, gentler half is inviting someone to respond and then trusting God with the outcome. This final lesson in the conversational evangelism series walks through Paul at the Areopagus to show how to move graciously from talking about Jesus to putting the ball in the other person's court. Main text: Acts 17v16-34 Outline: - Evangelism will not be easy, so accept the awkwardness and opposition (John 15v18-25) - Identify the open doors where someone's life meets a spiritual need (Acts 17v16-23) - Share the gospel clearly and concisely in about 60 to 90 seconds (Acts 17v24-31) - Leave the door open and give the person room to think (Acts 17v32-34) - Extend a clear invitation they are free to decline, then trust the Spirit (John 6v44) Paul looks, listens, and links: he notices the idols, affirms the Athenians' search, and connects their unknown god to Jesus. The lesson frames four foundational truths of the gospel (creation, authority, our brokenness, and the rescue God sent) and points to 1 Corinthians 15v1-8 for anyone unsure how to put the gospel into words. It also names the three ways people respond to the message: mockers, mullers who are still thinking it over, and movers who come along and believe. Throughout, the charge is to treat every person as someone made in God's image rather than a project, to guard the relationship over the result, and to stay ready to give an answer with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3v15-17).

Main text: Revelation 3v2-13 Outline: - Sardis: strengthen the things that remain (Revelation 3v2) - The four-step plan for renewal: remember, hold fast, repent, watch (Revelation 3v3) - The faithful few in Sardis and white garments (Revelation 3v4-5) - Philadelphia, the faithful church, and the key of David (Revelation 3v7-8) - Christ knows their works and sets an open door (Revelation 3v8-9) - The promise of protection and the crown (Revelation 3v10-11) A dying church must wake up and strengthen what is left before the lampstand is removed, while a faithful church holds fast to the open door that Christ alone can shut. The lesson walks through Sardis's call to remember, hold fast, repent, and watch, then turns to Philadelphia where small numbers and modest means are no obstacle to the work of God. Along the way the speaker draws on Psalm 119v105, Matthew 28v18, John 14v6, Romans 8v38-39, and 2 Timothy 4v7-8. Illustrations include nursing a campfire spark, a rotted oak tree, a three-generation pot roast, mission work in Honduras, and Olympic medals boxed in the attic. The aim is practical: read the word for yourself, give every activity a real spiritual purpose, and hold fast so no one takes your crown. Originally Aired: 2026-05-20 3949 Lithia Pinecrest Rd.

Main text: Acts 26v1-20 Outline: - Be curious and listen instead of lecturing - Show respect and find common ground (Acts 26v1-3) - Your before: own who you used to be (Acts 26v4-11) - Your encounter: name Jesus and tell what happened (Acts 26v12-18) - Your after: the changed life that points back to the King (Acts 26v19-23) Acts 26 gives us a clean three-part pattern for sharing faith in conversation: a before, an encounter with Jesus, and an after. Paul does it standing in chains in front of a king, and he does it with respect, transparency, and the name of Jesus on his lips. The lesson opens with George, a gang member who walked into a Billy Graham crusade in 1959 planning to kill the preacher and walked out a believer, and works through how to map your own story the same way. Practical reminders close the lesson: drop the church jargon, be vulnerable without exaggerating, ask permission, end with an open question, and keep the focus on the King.

Every step into a new season is Peter stepping out of the boat onto the water, and the question is whether we keep our eyes on Jesus when the wind picks up. Main text: Matthew 14v22-31 Outline: - Opening charge to the graduates: salt, light, point the way (Matthew 5v13-16) - A strong foundation of faith (Hebrews 11v1) - A reconciliation of our doubts (Job 23v3-4; Matthew 6v34) - A complete surrender to Jesus Christ (Matthew 14v30) Kyle works through Peter walking on the water as a picture of every major transition: leaving home, starting college, a new job, loss, a new baby. Faith is not the absence of fear or full certainty. It is conviction about what we cannot yet see, which means doubt and unknowing come with the territory. The moment Peter looked at the wind instead of Jesus, he sank, and the only honest prayer left was "Lord, save me."

The preacher uses Paul's language of ambassadorship to argue that awareness changes behavior, and that these graduates already know enough to refuse to become a statistic. Main text: 2 Corinthians 5v20 Outline: - Awareness shifts behavior, and you can't unsee the truth - Be aware of your Authority as Christ's ambassador (2 Corinthians 5v20) - Be aware of your Alignment in the race God has marked out (Hebrews 12v1-2) - Be aware of your Anchor, the hope that does not put us to shame (Romans 5v5) - Don't be a statistic, prove the math wrong (John 17v18; 1 Peter 3v15) Three A's frame the charge: Authority, Alignment, and Anchor. The graduates are sent out not as casualties waiting to happen but as ambassadors carrying the culture of their home country with them. The lesson moves from hidden-image puzzles and odd statistics into the sober Barna and Lifeway data on young people leaving the church, then lands on the hope of the resurrection as the only anchor that holds when the storms of culture hit. The closing call is plain: step into the world awake, ready to give a reason for the hope you have. Originally Aired: 2026-05-17 3949 Lithia Pinecrest Rd.

Main text: Revelation 2v26-28; Revelation 3v1-6 Outline: - Finishing Thyatira: the promise to the overcomer (Revelation 2v26-28) - The rod of iron and the potter's vessels (Revelation 2v27) - The morning star and why Jesus would not give his people something bad (Revelation 2v28) - Sardis: the church with a name but no life (Revelation 3v1) - Living on past reputation is spiritual atrophy - The way back: be watchful and strengthen what remains (Revelation 3v2) The teacher pulls in the Olympic swimmers who once burned thousands of calories a day and "turned into us" once they stopped training, and the weightlifter's rule that atrophy comes two to three times faster than gain. The Churches of Christ cannot live off the reputation of the 1950s and 60s, and a comfortable Christian cannot live off the faith they had ten years ago. Comfort and contentment are the door Satan walks through.

In this lesson from 1 Samuel 4, Israel trusted religion, symbols, reputation, and position instead of trusting God Himself. The Ark of the Covenant was captured, Eli’s family fell, and the nation cried, “The glory has departed.” This sermon examines how uncertainty can either destroy faith or refine it into something deeper and stronger. Through the failures of Israel, we explore the dangers of trusting religiosity, relics, self-righteousness, and religious status while neglecting a real relationship with God.

Main text: John 4v5-26 Outline: - Be curious, not judgmental: ask before you assume - Holy curiosity is limitless (John 4v5-9), inviting (John 4v10-15), and attentive (John 4v16-20) - Watch for the worldview sidestep and listen for the heart hurt underneath - Jesus models curiosity on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24v13-27), with Bartimaeus (Mark 10v46-52), and through Philip with the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8v26-38) - The truth may offend, but you do not get to be offensive; shake the dust off (Matthew 10v14) Most people who reject the gospel are answering an experience, not an argument. A pastor who stole, a minister who manipulated, a parent who weaponized faith. When we lead with apologetic firepower we miss the bruise that actually closed the door. Jesus crosses a centuries-old ethnic line at Jacob's well, asks a Samaritan woman for water, invites her into an adventure of seeking, and gently exposes the thirst beneath her five marriages. He never apologizes for the truth, but he never wields it as a weapon either. We are heralds of a King who is big enough to defend himself, and our job is to ask, listen, love, and trust that some plant, some water, and some reap.

Pergamos held the line under persecution, even losing Antipas as a martyr, but Jesus rebuked them for tolerating false teaching in the pews. This lesson walks through Revelation 2v12-17 and what it takes to spot a counterfeit message before it spreads. Main text: Revelation 2v12-17 Outline: - You cannot spot counterfeit doctrine without knowing the real thing - Antipas: faithful to the end (Revelation 2v13) - The two errors at Pergamos: Balaam and the Nicolaitans - Be Bereans and rightly divide the word (Acts 17v11; 2 Timothy 2v15) - Repent quickly, then hear the promises to the overcomer (Revelation 2v16-17) The teacher pushes back on outsourcing your discernment to the preacher. Counterfeit money, counterfeit handbags, counterfeit doctrine all work the same way: you only spot a fake when you know the genuine article. He covers Matthew 7v15-16 on knowing false prophets by their fruit, Romans 16v17-18 on smooth words and flattering speech, and Joshua 7 on Achan to show why sin in the camp has to be dealt with swiftly.

Acts 2v36-47 shows the first congregation wearing six of them, and this lesson walks through each one as a portrait of what a kingdom community is supposed to feel like, sound like, and cost. Main text: Acts 2v36-47 Outline: - Kingdom culture lives out a common response (Acts 2v36-37) - Kingdom culture lives out a costly repentance (Acts 2v38, 41) - Kingdom culture lives out a continued resolve (Acts 2v42) - Kingdom culture lives out a captivated reverence (Acts 2v43) - Kingdom culture lives out a communal relief (Acts 2v44-45) - Kingdom culture lives out a contagious rejoicing (Acts 2v46-47) Being cut to the heart is not a one-time experience tied to baptism, and repentance does not stop there either. The lesson pushes hard on ongoing repentance, reverence in worship that is not casual or distracted, and a generosity that treats what we own as ours together when a brother or sister is in need. It also presses the point that the culture of a local church is not built by the preacher or the elders but by every individual who walks through the door. If you are looking for a sermon on Acts 2, the early church, authentic community, repentance, reverence, generosity, and what church is supposed to look like, start here.

Working through the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, Chaz Austin defines kingdom character as the consistent condition of the heart that produces a consistent pattern of life, then turns the parable into a mirror for honest self-examination. Main text: Luke 18v9-14 Outline: - Defining kingdom character: the heart God sees, not the reputation people see - Humility, not self-exalting (Luke 18v13a) - Brokenness over sin, not self-boasting (Luke 18v13b) - Dependence on God, not self-relying (Luke 18v13c) - The verdict: only one man goes home justified (Luke 18v14) Two men walk into the temple to pray. One stands tall and reports that he doesn't need mercy. The other stands afar off, beats his breast, and cries seven small words: "Lord, be merciful to me a sinner." Jesus says only one of them goes home right with God. This lesson presses the question of pride, repentance, and self-reliance, and lands on Jesus as the only ground of righteousness for anyone humble and broken enough to ask for mercy.

Every new headline becomes a candidate, and somewhere in the noise, fear quietly takes the throne that belongs to God. Main text: Matthew 10v28 Outline: - The idol of fear: when we fear the world more than the Lord, we have already chosen a god (Matthew 10v28; 1 John 4v18; Proverbs 9v10) - The fruits of fear: paranoia replaces peace, love grows cold, and people-pleasing snares the heart (Philippians 4v6-7; Matthew 24v42-44; Proverbs 29v25) - The death of fear: God laughs at raging kings, and the sealed child of God lives in power, love, and self-control (Psalm 2v1-4; Ephesians 4v30; 2 Timothy 1v7) This lesson walks through the long parade of figures and symbols that have been called the Antichrist or the mark of the beast, and asks a harder question: what does the chase reveal about where our trust actually lives? Hours spent hunting shadows and minutes spent in Scripture tell on us. The believer is not called to scan the news for a thief; we are called to keep the house ready for the Master and to fear the Lord alone. Because we are sealed by the blood of Christ and the resurrection has already settled the outcome, fear is not just unhelpful, it is irrational. The game is won. We can live free.

Main text: 2 Corinthians 5v20 Outline: - A personal calling that started in high school and got redirected by a 1990 trip to Honduras - A padlocked metal box of toothbrushes at Casa Kennedy that shook the speaker to the core - The biblical case for ambassadorship from 2 Corinthians 5v20 and the Great Commission - Creekside's 15-year partnership with Torch Missions in Tegucigalpa - Five ministry areas on the trip and a direct ask: go, pray, or give Paul's claim that "we are ambassadors for Christ" is not poetry.

Stories along the way include a Lipscomb pitcher whose death sparked a campus revival and the speaker's own cancer survival at Moffitt and unexpected reunion with his oncologist years later.

To practicing "the Way". This sermon walks through self-denial in a culture trained for self-fulfillment. We look at Jesus’ own path of suffering and rejection, then His call to deny ourselves, take up the cross daily, and follow. You will hear practical clarity on surrendering autonomy and control, resisting consumer-driven spirituality, and walking in step with the Spirit. Along the way we connect the cost of discipleship to the rich young ruler, Peter’s failure and restoration, and the moment many walked away when Jesus’ teaching felt too hard. The goal is not guilt or self-hatred, but reordered desire where Jesus is valued above comfort, gain, and applause, producing the fruit of the Spirit with real self-control.

In this sermon, we walk through the moment God reveals His covenant name and see the three responses it produces in real life: worship Him, want Him, and watch Him at work through obedient faith. Along the way, we address common misunderstandings about God’s name, why His glory leads to reverence, and how our daily choices can either honor or profane what we claim to believe.

Using passages like Acts 2:38, Romans 6, 1 Peter 3:21, Matthew 6, and Proverbs, we talk about baptism as a beginning, prayer as trust in God’s character, and the fear of the Lord as reverent awe that produces freedom and obedience.

Walk through the vineyard logic of abiding, pruning, and bearing, showing how real fruit grows in four lanes: character (Galatians 5:22–23), conduct (John 15:10; Matthew 5:16), confession of praise (Hebrews 13:15), and making disciples (Romans 1:13; Matthew 28:19–20). We clear up common confusions about “fruit,” explain how the Father’s pruning produces peaceable righteousness (Hebrews 12:11), and offer simple practices to keep Jesus’ words abiding in us.

Walk through the vineyard logic of abiding, pruning, and bearing, showing how real fruit grows in four lanes: character (Galatians 5:22–23), conduct (John 15:10; Matthew 5:16), confession of praise (Hebrews 13:15), and making disciples (Romans 1:13; Matthew 28:19–20). We clear up common confusions about “fruit,” explain how the Father’s pruning produces peaceable righteousness (Hebrews 12:11), and offer simple practices to keep Jesus’ words abiding in us.

This message walks through Matthew 23:1-39 and names four common drivers of deconstruction today: participant overwhelming, prideful orthodoxy, perverse obstinacy, and political obeisance. Along the way we talk about burnout in ministry, misplaced loyalty to leaders, the pain of institutional failure, and the pull of partisanship that crowds out simple discipleship. Most of all, we point to Jesus who confronts hypocrisy and still longs to gather us under his wings. You will hear a vivid camel illustration, real trends many are facing, and straight talk on why tearing down without rebuilding leaves people bitter instead of Christlike. The aim is not to shame questions but to model how to rebuild with humility, Scripture, and the heart of Jesus. Key texts: Matthew 23, Galatians 6:9, Acts 17:11, John 11:48, Matthew 24:1-2, Luke 21:20-24, 1 Samuel 15:23, Ezekiel 14:4, Colossians 3:5. What this sermon covers: • Why high performers in church life often reach a breaking point • How pride around our tribe can choke unity and curiosity • When institutions fail and trust collapses • How political identity can eclipse kingdom identity • A hopeful path from deconstruction to reconstruction in Christ If you are wrestling with doubt, church hurt, or confusion, you are not alone.
