  Obadiah Fearing the Lord 16.08.2026 29m

  When it says that "it came to pass after many days", we are to understand that it was the better part of a year and a half. Elijah had probably been about a year in the wilderness near the Brook Cherith, and probably about another year to a year and a half with the widow of Zarephath. Now the time had come, it says here, for Elijah to go and present himself to Ahab. And so, God gave Elijah this command by a direct revelation to his mind, that he should go and confront wicked Ahab, and then God would send rain on the earth. And so, Elijah went. The famine was severe in Samaria and things were getting quite desperate; especially in terms of water for the cattle. And so, wicked king Ahab called Obadiah, it says in verse 3, to tell him what he wanted him to do. Obadiah was in charge of Ahab's house as a steward. But what is even more significant for our consideration, is the fact which is related to us in the parenthesis in verse 3, where it says – Now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly. It is this statement that I want to focus your attention on, and draw lessons from it. What did this mean, that Obadiah feared the Lord greatly? And, what will it look like for us if we fear the Lord greatly? That is what we want to try and discover. So, 1st of all, we want to see that there are different kinds of the fear of the Lord which are described for us in the Bible. And 2nd – We want to see that there are different degrees of the fear of the Lord among those who really do know the Lord. Let's see if we can grow in our understanding of this vital doctrine, the fear of the Lord.

  Brother Samuel Girod | Isaiah 26:3–4; Philippians 4:6–9; 1 Peter 5:7 The sermon explores the hymn 'Blessed Assurance' as a framework for overcoming anxiety and finding true peace through complete trust in God. Drawing from Isaiah, Philippians, and 1 Peter, the message emphasizes that believers are called to surrender their burdens, careers, and reputations to God rather than carrying them alone.

  The Restored Image of God 16.08.2026 37m

  Christ's mission as the second Adam is to reverse the effects of the fall by restoring the image of God in humanity. In Mark 5, the man possessed by a legion of demons represents the most extreme example of human desecration found in scripture, his humanity nearly extinguished by demonic forces. When Jesus arrives in this Gentile territory and delivers the man, he restores not merely his sanity but true humanity, demonstrating the transforming power of the gospel. There are three responses to Christ in this episode: The transformed man who longs to remain with Jesus, the fearful townspeople who beg Jesus to leave, and the demonic forces who recognize Christ's absolute authority. Apart from Christ, all humanity operates in a kind of spiritual insanity, suppressing truth and surrendering the will to the kingdom of darkness. Salvation entails the restoration of a right mind, true freedom, and genuine life. Those redeemed are called to live as witnesses to the gospel's transforming power while awaiting the return of Christ to complete the restoration of all things.

  Into the Heavenlies 16.08.2026 39m

  The sermon contrasts the physical, fearful worship of Mount Sinai with the spiritual, accessible presence of Mount Zion to demonstrate that believers are spiritually located in heaven during corporate worship. By examining Hebrews 12, the text explains how Christ's blood grants access to God's throne room, allowing worshippers to participate in heavenly reality while physically present on earth. This theological perspective shifts the focus from the physical building or location to the spiritual act of entering God's presence through Jesus. Rev Davis urges believers to approach worship with reverence and preparation, recognizing that they are seated with Christ in the heavenly places. Ultimately, true worship is defined as a spiritual encounter with the living God rather than merely a physical gathering.

By fearing God above all earthly powers, believers find the courage to honor authorities and endure suffering without retaliation. Ultimately, the message calls Christians to follow Christ's example of entrusting themselves to the just Judge while maintaining a holy witness in a hostile world.

The message emphasizes that salvation is a personal gift from Jesus Christ, secured by His voluntary sacrifice on the cross. Believers are encouraged to listen to His voice through Scripture and follow His guidance daily. Ultimately, the Christian has a double guarantee of safety in both the hands of Jesus and God the Father.

The Holy Spirit indwells believers to reshape their hearts, enabling them to reflect this divine love within the community of the church.

The preacher argues that believers are united with Christ's righteousness, allowing them to pursue obedience out of gratitude and trust rather than fear. Ultimately, the Christian walk is presented as a simple yet demanding journey of constant reliance on the gospel to live faithfully in all circumstances.
