Splendor to Render — We Were Made and Born Again to Render His Splendor This message emphasizes that God has fashioned all things for His glory, and through Jesus Christ, believers have been redeemed and made new creatures to reflect His splendor in every aspect of life. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 8–11 and 15, the sermon challenges us to examine why we were created, who we belong to, how we are functioning, and what kind of fruit our lives are producing. Three foundational truths define God's purpose for our lives: • His Divine Design — The Reason We Were Fashioned: God created us intentionally, for His pleasure and glory. Our identity and purpose must be established by our Creator rather than by the changing opinions of the world. • His Divine Declaration — The Results of Our Function: Like the sun, moon, and stars, which possess distinct glories and purposes, believers have different responsibilities and opportunities that work together to reveal God's goodness and character. • His Divine Delight — The Reward of Our Fruit: When we faithfully function according to God's design, the fruit produced through His grace brings pleasure to Him, strengthens others, and declares the transforming power of Jesus. Using Israel's wilderness journey in 1 Corinthians 10, the message warns that people can experience the same provisions and circumstances without responding to them in the same way. Although Israel witnessed God's deliverance and received His provision, many failed to please Him because of unbelief, idolatry, immorality, and complaining. Their experiences were preserved for our instruction, reminding us that faith involves seeing, agreeing with, and acting upon what

Is the Christian experience one of rejoicing, love, hope, and assurance of faith? Is that life marked by delight in God's commands and promises? While God has promised great joy and hope to believers, Christians often follow the way of the Israelites when they doubt, complain, and live in a constant state of uncertainty. In this sermon on Psalm 78:41 titled "Limiting God," Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones teaches that when the Christian follows this way, they limit God's power, grace, and glory rather than showcasing His excellencies to the world. Complaining and heavy hearts declare to the world that the way of God is cumbersome and sorrowful. It says the commands of God are difficult and God is not concerned with the Christian's joy. Follow along with Dr. Lloyd-Jones as he provides the "tests" of assurance, joy, delight, and peace to evaluate hearts in light of the life-giving promises of the Holy God. Listen and be reminded that God provides great joy that cannot be shaken to the believer who earnestly seeks the presence of the Triune God as their source of delight and life. Take comfort in knowing that an assurance of salvation is given as a means of joy and comfort for the believer and be challenged by Dr. Lloyd-Jones's reminder that the believer who does not hold fast to these promises is limiting the Holy One of Israel.

Fall Revival Part 3

Found Faithful — Servants, Stewards, and the God Who Gives the Increase 1 Corinthians 3:5–23; 4:1–21 This message emphasizes the believer's calling to live as a humble servant and faithful steward of Jesus Christ, recognizing that everything we have, everything we know, and every opportunity to serve comes from God's grace. Using Paul's correction of the Corinthian church, we see the danger of elevating human personalities, seeking personal recognition, and allowing pride to divide God's people. Paul reminds us that servants are not competitors but fellow laborers in God's kingdom. One may plant and another may water, but God alone gives the increase. The message highlights the distinction between a servant and a steward. A servant understands whom he belongs to, while a steward faithfully manages what has been entrusted to him. Both require humility, surrender, and an unwavering commitment to the interests of Jesus above personal ambitions. Timothy serves as a beautiful example of this faithfulness. Having learned Paul's ways in Christ, he demonstrated proven character, genuine concern for others, and consistency in communicating God's truth wherever he served. Drawing from Philippians 2 and Colossians 4, the message stresses that effective ministry requires more than knowledge or ability. It demands continual dependence upon the Lord, prayer for open doors, and a commitment to communicating His Word with accuracy, authority, affection, and grace. God's servants must not merely explain His truth but allow that truth to transform their own lives, enabling them to faithfully represent Jesus to others. Ultimately, this message calls every believer to stop measuring use
