The sermon explores the identity of the church as the household of God and its role as a pillar and buttress of the truth, emphasizing that the church supports and guards Scripture rather than defining it. Drawing on the context of Ephesus and the Temple of Artemis, the message clarifies that the church's authority is derived from its submission to the infallible Word. The central focus shifts to the mystery of godliness, identified not as a concept but as the person of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection provide the standard for Christian conduct. Believers are called to imitate Christ in areas such as love and forgiveness, relying on the indwelling Spirit rather than human effort. The sermon concludes with an exhortation to live blamelessly and proclaim the gospel with credible conduct, recognizing that the mystery of godliness has been fully revealed in the person and work of Jesus.

Jesus Ascends As King - Craig Mussulman
This sermon examines the final eleven verses of Acts chapter 1, focusing on Jesus' instructions, commission, and ascension as the pivotal transition from His earthly ministry to His heavenly reign. The exposition highlights how Jesus taught the disciples about the Kingdom of God, correcting their narrow, nationalistic expectations by revealing the global scope of the Abrahamic covenant. By linking Jesus' command to be witnesses to Old Testament prophecies in Isaiah, the message affirms Christ's deity and the universal mission of the church. The ascension is presented not merely as a departure, but as the necessary enthronement of Christ that releases the Holy Spirit, empowering believers for effective witness. The sermon concludes with a pastoral exhortation for the church to pursue Holy Spirit power over mere human effort, urging believers to shine as witnesses in their spheres of influence.

The Still Hour (1859 | Audiobook)
Why does prayer so often feel lifeless, distracted, or unreal? Why can an hour meant for communion with God become a burden rather than a joy? In *The Still Hour*, Austin Phelps speaks honestly to believers who hunger for God's presence yet struggle to find freedom and delight in prayer. He examines the hidden obstacles that weaken devotion—including cherished sin, unbelief, vague desires, mental laziness, hurried habits, and an excessive focus on self. With searching insight and vivid illustrations, he shows how prayer can become more than a religious obligation: it can be the living communion of a soul with a present and faithful Friend. Phelps calls Christians to approach God with definite desires, confident faith, thoughtful preparation, and sufficient time—to seek not merely the act of prayer, but the reality of God Himself. He also encourages brief, heartfelt prayers throughout the day, joining ordinary life to an ongoing fellowship with heaven.
