With Election Day just two weeks away, we must be fully cognizant that life vs death, pro-life vs. pro-abortion is on the ballot. Those we elect to office and the ideals they hold will determine what type of policies advance, one to protect life, another to take life. Furthermore, a number of states have a referendum question on the ballot, a constitutional amendment which some states are seeking to enshrine abortion in their state constitution. Jim quoted from an article from LifeNews.com dated October 14, 2026. The article states, "House Democrats' health care working group handed House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries an 84-page playbook to run if they seize control in November. It maps out what they plan to do in their first 100 hours if they take back control of Congress. At the top of their list? Abortion. In their own words, they want to 'Reestablish a federal right to abortion care and end restrictions that prevent people covered through federal health programs from receiving abortion coverage.' In other words, abortion-on-demand nationwide, and you pay for it." In other words, some will literally be voting whether or not to add life or abortion to their state constitution. On this edition of Crosstalk you also hear about the recent report from the FDA that they will not complete their abortion pill safety review until March of 2027.

(#92) In conquering death, Christ leaves no enemy standing on the field of battle.

This sermon explores the wisdom of Solomon in Ecclesiastes, emphasizing that correct interpretation of reality depends on a proper worldview rooted in divine truth. The text addresses the tension between earthly justice and the apparent success of the wicked, asserting that while human systems are flawed and delayed, God's judgment is perfect and eternal. It highlights the limitations of human knowledge, noting that no one can fully comprehend the works of God or control the timing of life and death. The message encourages believers to trust in God's sovereignty over history and nature, finding contentment in the present moment rather than anxiety over the future. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a recognition of human finitude and a reliance on the wisdom that discerns both time and judgment.

There is far more to the idea of eternal life than endless existence. In this prayer, Jesus asks the Father that those given to Him would be with Him and dwell with Him forever.

This passage teaches that believers may differ in conscience on matters not essential to the faith, yet all must live before the Lord with full conviction and humility. We do not belong to ourselves: in life and in death, we are the Lord's, for Christ died and rose again to be Lord of both the dead and the living. Therefore, our lives must be shaped by his lordship, grace, and love toward one another.

This sermon explores the comprehensive scope of salvation presented in Ephesians 2, moving from the believer's past state of spiritual death and depravity to their present position of grace and future glory. Using the analogy of the Chilean miners rescued by a capsule, the message illustrates that salvation is a gift of God's grace received through faith, rather than a result of human effort or works. The text emphasizes the theological reality that believers are quickened, raised, and seated with Christ in heavenly places, highlighting the substitutionary atonement of Jesus as the sole basis for redemption. The tone is both convicting regarding the seriousness of sin and comforting regarding the sufficiency of God's mercy, urging listeners to trust in Christ alone. The sermon concludes by affirming that believers are God's workmanship, created for good works as a response to grace, not as a means to earn it.

Luke 7:11-17 Tyler Kniess Jesus has both compassion and power to raise you from death unto life. Arise, forsaking your death, and rejoice that God has visited his people!

Do you truly trust and believe that God has the power and the love to help you in whatever you are struggling with today? This sermon explores the Westminster Confession of Faith on the assurance of salvation, addressing the common struggle of doubt among believers. By examining David's song of praise in 2 Samuel 22, the text highlights God's power as a refuge against both physical enemies and the final enemy of death. The exposition clarifies the theological concept of being 'clean in God's sight,' explaining that believers are counted righteous not by their own merit but by the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ. The message encourages the audience to rest in the certainty of God's protection and delight in them, finding peace in the knowledge that their standing before God is secure through faith in Christ alone.
