Under the Mighty Hand of God
<p>Join Pastor Brent Foley for a special Father's Day message at Immanuel Baptist Church. Diving into 1 Peter 5:6-7, this sermon hits home on how the lessons we teach most passionately at the end of our lives are often the lessons that we learned most painfully in our youth. Through personal stories and powerful biblical history, Pastor Brent breaks down what it truly means to live under the hand of God.</p><p><br></p><p>The message focuses on three distinct ways God uses His hand in the life of a believer:</p><p><br></p><p> - His Mighty Hand: Recognizing God's sovereign power and shifting our perspective away from the myth of the "self-made man". We are reminded that every resource, breath, and success comes entirely from Him.</p><p><br></p><p> - His Correcting Hand: Understanding that a loving Heavenly Father corrects His children for their own good. Looking at Moses smashing the stone tablets and David's heavy season of unconfessed sin, we see why we must refuse to be as stubborn as a mule.</p><p><br></p><p> - His Exalting Hand: Seeing how God fundamentally restores and exalts the humble. Just as Peter went from a painful public denial to boldly preaching at Pentecost where 3,000 souls were saved, God can do immeasurably more through us when we stop serving a small God.</p><p><br></p><p>Don't let pride keep you from surrendering to God's plan. Pull out the spiritual splinters before they get infected, trust His outstretched arm, and find courage for the unique assignment He has placed on your life today.</p>

The Gravity of Pride & The Beauty of Grace
<p>Join Pastor Allen Bonnell for a powerful message titled "The Gravity of Pride and the Beauty of Grace," as we take a deep dive into the mandatory mark of biblical humility. Drawing from 1 Peter 5 and John 21, this sermon contrasts the destructive reality of human hubris with the healing power of God’s restoration.</p><p><br></p><p>The message highlights key principles for breaking free from arrogance and stepping into grace:</p><p><br></p><p> -- The Danger of Pride: Discover why pride is an active rebellion against God's design. When Scripture says "God opposes the proud," it uses a strict military term meaning He aligns His forces and draws up battle lines against the arrogant. We look at historical warnings from Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar, and King Herod to see the gravity of self-exaltation.</p><p><br></p><p> -- Peter's Fall and Brokenness: We trace the infamous overconfidence of Simon Peter—from boldly claiming he would never fall away to completely denying Christ three times under pressure.</p><p><br></p><p> -- Restoration by the Shore: Dive into the powerful scene in John 21, where the resurrected Jesus meets a broken Peter by a charcoal fire. Instead of bringing a fire of judgment, Jesus sets a fire of provision, asking Peter three times, "Do you love me?" to legally cover and restore each point of his past denial.</p><p><br></p><p> -- Application for Life and Family: Learn the essential parenting and relational principle modeled by God Himself: we must firmly oppose pride and rebellion, but instantly pour out grace, comfort, and safety to anyone who is contrite and broken.</p><p><br></p><p>No matter how far you feel you have wandered from the Savior, His arm is long enough to reach you. Trade your self-sufficiency for absolute surrender and learn that His grace is always greater than your past.</p>

Humility Toward Others
<p>Join Pastor Allen Bonnell for a powerful message kicking off a three-part series on Humility Toward Others, drawing from John 13:1-17 and 1 Peter 5:5. Fresh off an incredible week of Vacation Bible School—celebrating over 500 children across three campuses, 400 volunteers, and 31 life-changing decisions for Christ at Lucid—this sermon highlights why humility is a mandatory mark of a true disciple.</p><p><br></p><p>True humility is rarely practiced but desperately needed. In this study, we look at the night of the Last Supper to explore three marks of Christlike humility:</p><p><br></p><p> -- Humility serves with no concern for status: See how Jesus, the King of kings, willingly laid aside His outer garment, put on a servant's apron, and washed the dirty, grimy feet of His disciples. True humility means choosing to serve where there is no personal benefit or applause.</p><p><br></p><p> -- Humility is a proper perspective of self: We look at Simon Peter’s prideful resistance to being served by Jesus. Pride isn't always loud and obnoxious; sometimes it shows up as an inability to receive help or an obsession with controlling our circumstances. Understanding your secure value in Christ frees you from the trap of public opinion.</p><p><br></p><p> -- Humility lives for a bigger purpose: Having spiritual knowledge is not enough—even the demons know who God is. Jesus promises that true blessing comes only when we put our faith into active practice. Learn what it looks like to "wash feet" in your home, marriage, and workplace today.</p>
