This service marks the public ordination of Adam Philpott, recognizing a divine calling that has been evident through his consistent character and ministry work. Witnesses from his family, church, and professional life testify to his integrity, faithfulness to Scripture, and dedication to leading others to Christ. The central theological theme emphasizes the biblical mandate to 'preach the word' with diligence and courage, anchoring ministry in the unchanging truth of God's character rather than cultural trends. Pastoral counsel is given to remain faithful to the One who called him, prioritizing intimate communion with God over mere activity. The congregation is challenged to support the new pastor through prayer and financial stewardship, holding the 'rope' as he descends into the deep work of spiritual warfare and soul-winning. Questions 1. What does it actually mean for a pastor to be ordained? 2. Does a church make someone a pastor, or does God call him to be a pastor? 3. How can a church know whether a man has truly been called by God into ministry? 4. Why is a man's character just as important as his ability to preach when considering him for ministry? 5.

What is the most important responsibility of a pastor? 8. Why is "Preach the Word" such an important charge for pastors today? Pasted markdown 9.

Everybody Got It Wrong
The sermon examines the narrative of Jacob and Esau in Genesis 27 to illustrate the danger of relying on human effort and sensory perception rather than trusting God's sovereign word. It highlights how Isaac, Rebekah, and Jacob all fail by attempting to manipulate divine promises through deception and works, contrasting this with the biblical call to faith alone. The text argues that physical senses are easily deceived, as seen in Isaac's error, whereas true faith comes from hearing and believing God's promises, a principle reinforced by references to Romans 10:17 and Revelation. The preacher warns against the modern tendency to add works to salvation, emphasizing that grace is sufficient and cannot be supplemented by human achievement. Ultimately, the message calls for a reliance on Christ's finished work and a discernment of God's voice amidst a world of increasing deception. Questions 1. Why did God bless Jacob when he lied to his father to get the blessing? 2. If God had already promised that Jacob would receive the blessing, why did Rebekah think she had to help God make it happen? 3. What does the Bible mean when it calls Esau a "profane person"? 4. What is the difference between Esau's birthright and his blessing, and why did they matter so much? 5. Can we miss something God wants to give us because we try to get it our own way instead of waiting on Him? 6. Why did Isaac trust what he could feel, taste, and smell instead of trusting Jacob's voice? 7. Does the Bible teach that our senses and feelings can deceive us? How do we know what is actually true? 8. Why does Jesus repeatedly say, "He that hath an ear, let him hear"?

Who Is Jesus
This sermon explores the essential doctrine of who Jesus Christ is, distinguishing the biblical Jesus from false representations found in other religions and cultural views. It emphasizes that Jesus is both fully God and fully man, the unique Son of God who bypassed Adam's sin through the virgin birth to serve as the sinless sacrificial lamb. The teaching traces the messianic prophecies from Genesis through the Gospels, highlighting Jesus as the Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer who reverses the curse of death and restores creation. The core message defines discipleship not merely as belief but as a transformative process of being conformed to the image of Christ, abiding in Him as branches on the vine to bear fruit. The tone is instructional and pastoral, urging believers to deeply understand and follow the true Jesus to secure their eternal destiny and reflect His character in their lives. Questions: Why does it matter what I believe about who Jesus is? Did Jesus ever actually claim to be God? Can someone believe in Jesus but have the wrong Jesus? What makes Christianity's view of Jesus different from other religions? Why did Jesus ask His disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" What does it mean that Jesus is 100% God and 100% man? Why did Jesus have to become a man in order to save us? What does the Bible mean when it calls Jesus the "last Adam"? How does Jesus reverse what Adam did in the Garden of Eden? Why is Jesus called the "Son of God" if Christians are also called sons of God? What does "Christ" mean—is Christ Jesus' last name? How does the Old Testament point to Jesus before He was born? Why is the virgin birth important to understanding who Jesus is?
