In this morning message, Brother Jesse Lockhart preaches from Jeremiah 2:13, warning that “my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out broken cisterns that can hold no water.” He traces Israel’s long drift from God—from Egypt to the wilderness to the kings—showing how blessing turned to backsliding when the people tried to mix holiness with the world, just like today’s generation that wants church on Sunday and Baal the rest of the week. He walks through Josiah’s discovery of the lost book, the fear of judgment, and the mercy that delayed destruction because a king humbled himself and prayed, reminding us that “prayer can stay the hand of God.” Brother Jesse weaves in his own testimony of running from the Lord until the night God told him, “This is it,” and how confession, repentance, and surrender opened the well of living water in his soul. The message rises into a call for real salvation—not the kind that dries up, but the kind that changes a man’s desires, his walk, his wardrobe, and his witness—because only the fountain Christ gives can quench the thirst of a heart that’s been scorched by the world.

Podcast Summary — Sunday School 6‑7‑26This Sunday School lesson centers on Noah, the flood, and the sobering parallels between the first destruction of the earth and the one still to come, beginning with the reminder that “Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” Brother Brandon weaves family testimony, recent conversions, and the stirring conviction of loved ones into a larger truth: God still warns, God still calls, and God still provides a way of escape. He walks through the lineage of Enoch, Methuselah, and Lamech to show how Noah came from a family known for walking with God, and how his very name—“This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands”—was itself a warning to the world. The class explores how Noah preached for over a century while building the ark, how people mocked until the first drop of rain fell, and how today’s world mirrors that same blindness as people say, “I ain’t seen nothing yet.” He reminds the class that once God shut the door, the chance was gone, and the same will be true when Christ returns. The lesson closes with a heartfelt plea: the warnings are here, the signs are clear, and just as in Noah’s day, many will only realize the truth when it’s too late—so now is the time to seek the Lord while breath remains.

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 14:48:17 -0500

Podcast Summary — Jesse Lockhart 6‑5‑26, Pisgah, Alabama Revival in this revival message, Brother Jesse Lockhart pours out a burdened, urgent call for the church to stand in the gap for a lost world, reminding the congregation again and again that “it’s just good to know the Lord.” He walks through Ezekiel, Moses, and the prophets to show how God has always sought a man—someone willing to step into the camp, wake up the heathen, and hold the line when false prophets and cold religion take over. He shares the story of Brother Cotton Ross’s passing and how God used it to tell him, “Gird up now thy loins like a man,” marking the moment he stepped out of the shadows and into the calling God had placed on him. From there he warns of a generation with no conviction, a church world that has left the Lord “like Moses left at the well,” and a culture that wants the benefits of God without the obedience. He preaches the story of the lame man at Bethesda to show how Christ singles out the sinner who finally realizes he’s lost, insisting that conviction must come before conversion. The message rises to a plea for holiness, separation, and a return to preaching Christ alone—because Jesus still seeks the one sinner who will repent, and heaven still rejoices when that one finally comes home.

Jesse Lockhart (Pisgah, Alabama – 6/4/26)In this message, Jesse Lockhart steps into Leviticus 1 and shows how every line of the sacrificial law points straight to Jesus Christ. He explains that the disciples preached Christ from the Old Testament because the entire volume of Scripture speaks of Him, and Leviticus’ burnt offering becomes a vivid portrait of the Savior who fulfilled every demand of the law we could never keep. Jesse walks the listener through the holiness of God, the impossibility of man meeting the standard, and the necessity of a spotless, voluntary substitute—then lifts up Christ as the One tempted in all points yet without sin, the Lamb without blemish who satisfied judgment in our place. He paints the scene of Barabbas walking free while Jesus takes the cross meant for him, and he shows how the burnt offering—consumed by fire, broken in pieces—mirrors the suffering Christ endured to purify sinners. With urgency and gratitude, Jesse reminds the church that salvation is not a habit change but a new nature, a record wiped clean by a Substitute who went “a little further” in Gethsemane and all the way to Calvary so the guilty could walk out free.

Hunter McBride (Pisgah, Alabama – 6/4/26)In this message, Hunter McBride walks the listener from Ephesians 2 back to Genesis 3, showing how the depth of God’s love can only be understood when we first see the depth of our own fall. He reminds the congregation that mankind had nothing to do with its creation or its salvation—God stepped out of eternity, formed man from dust, breathed life into him, and even after man sinned, God Himself provided the covering. Hunter traces the triune God’s eternal purpose, the fall in Eden, the severing of man’s spiritual lifeline, and the mercy of God who clothed Adam and Eve with sacrifice instead of fig leaves. He lifts up the cross as the centerpiece of history—planned before the foundation of the world—and explains that Christ’s death was not a reaction to sin but the fulfillment of an eternal plan, the Savior existing before the problem. He teaches that salvation makes a believer alive in Christ, a new creature whose old man is dead in God’s reckoning, though the flesh still wars against holiness. With pastoral clarity, he urges believers to understand their position in Christ, the ongoing work of sanctification, and the longing of the redeemed heart to be fully united with the One who saved them.

Chris Long (Fairview Union – 6/3/26)Chris Long opens by celebrating the liberty felt in the service, then shares a testimony of God’s faithfulness across decades, recalling the night the Lord saved him and the night He brought him back. After singing “Somebody Touched Me,” he moves into 2 Chronicles 7, describing Solomon’s dedication of the temple and the moment when the glory of God filled the house so strongly the priests couldn’t even enter. Chris challenges the church to seek that same glory again by embracing humility, sacrifice, and sincere prayer rather than shallow words. He warns that God told Solomon hard times would come—drought, pestilence, destruction—but the remedy was clear: If My people… He urges believers to humble themselves, admit when they’re wrong, remove pride, and pray with depth and desperation, not “ten‑cent prayers.” Through stories of answered prayer, spiritual burden, and the power of intercession—including a soldier protected by a praying mother—Chris calls the church to become “prayer‑conditioned,” believing that heaven still moves when God’s people humble themselves and seek His face.

In this revival message,

Brother McBride walks the congregation into Isaiah 6, pressing the weight of God’s holiness and the smallness of man. He reminds listeners that before Isaiah could see the true King, the earthly king had to die—and in the same way, the “king” of self must fall before anyone can truly behold Christ. The sermon emphasizes that the closer a person gets to God’s light, the more clearly they see their own sin, echoing Isaiah’s cry, “Woe is me, for I am undone.” The preacher warns against self‑righteousness, spiritual arrogance, and the subtle idolatry of everyday distractions, insisting that everyone—church‑goers included—breaks God’s commandments and stands in need of mercy. In God’s presence, Isaiah wasn’t coerced into confession; it poured out of him naturally, and only then did cleansing come. The message calls listeners to humility, repentance, and a fresh vision of the holy God who alone can purge sin and send His people out with purpose.

Revival – Holy Way Baptist – 6‑1‑26 –

In this revival message, the Brother Jesse opens with a call for unity—one soul, one heart—reminding the church that only God gives the increase and only God can save, but His people can help bring the lost to Him. Preaching from 2 Peter 3, he emphasizes the glory of Christ, the urgency of the hour, and the need for believers to humble themselves before God’s presence. The tone is pleading and expectant: revival isn’t emotional hype, it’s God stirring His people to repentance, obedience, and spiritual seriousness. The preacher asks the congregation to pray for him throughout the week and to labor together for souls, trusting that God still moves, still convicts, and still transforms lives when His people seek Him with one mind and one heart.

Have Mercy on me-Jesse Lockhart-5-31-26-pm

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 15:42:29 -0500

Have Mercy on Me – Jesse Lockhart – 5‑31‑26 PMPodcast SummaryThis sermon centers on David’s cry in Psalm 51: “Have mercy upon me, O God.” The preacher explains the difference between grace and mercy—grace gives what we don’t deserve, but mercy withholds the judgment we do deserve. He walks through biblical examples of people who cried out for mercy: the Syrophoenician mother pleading for her demon‑tormented daughter, the publican in Luke 18 beating his chest and praying, “God be merciful to me a sinner,” and blind Bartimaeus crying out to Jesus despite the crowd telling him to be quiet. Each story shows that mercy begins with recognizing unworthiness and desperation. The preacher warns that modern believers often pray shallow, rehearsed prayers, expecting God to respond like a genie, when what’s truly needed is brokenness, humility, and a cry for mercy. He urges the church to return to heartfelt pleading—seeking God’s pity, God’s presence, and God’s help—because without Him, we are blind, powerless, and unable to change ourselves. Mercy is the doorway to healing, revival, and restored vision.

How to get there-jesse lockhart-5-31-26-am

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 15:42:04 -0500

How to Get There – Jesse Lockhart – 5‑31‑26 AM (Revelation 21)In this message, the preacher reads the full chapter of Revelation 21 and paints a vivid picture of the New Heaven and New Earth—a place with no more death, sorrow, crying, or pain, where God Himself dwells with His people and the Lamb is the everlasting light. He describes the beauty of the New Jerusalem with its jasper walls, pearl gates, golden streets, and foundations of precious stones, then shifts to the heart of the sermon: heaven is real, but you must know how to get there. Using John 14 and Matthew 7, he explains that Jesus is the only way, the narrow gate, and the journey begins at the cross—where a sinner becomes crucified with Christ, buried in baptism, and raised to walk in new life. Salvation is the starting point, but continuation in faith is required, being kept by the power of God through faith and carried by grace through every trial of life. He warns that many claim heaven without ever starting at the cross, and that walking away from Christ leaves a person on their own. The message urges listeners to begin the journey, continue in faith, and trust the grace that carries believers all the way home.

Sunday School – 5‑31‑26 (Genesis 5–6)

In this lesson, the teacher walks the class through Genesis 5 into the opening of Genesis 6, highlighting how the long lifespans, repeated phrase “and he died,” and the appearance of numbers—especially 365 and 777—signal patterns of divine order even in a world sliding toward corruption. He points out Enoch’s unique walk with God, Methuselah’s record‑long life, and Lamech’s prophetic naming of Noah, all showing that God was preparing a righteous line long before judgment came. As the narrative shifts to chapter 6, he emphasizes how wickedness multiplied, how the “sons of God” took the “daughters of men,” and how violence filled the earth until God declared He would not always strive with man. Yet Noah found grace, and God gave him precise instructions for the ark—a vessel of obedience built over more than a century while the world watched in disbelief. The teacher draws a parallel to today’s distractions, warning that just as people ignored Noah’s warnings before the flood, modern life blinds many to the reality of coming judgment. Through Noah’s obedience, God preserved humanity once, and the teacher reminds listeners that another judgment is coming—not by water but by fire—and only those who walk with God, as Noah did, will be ready.

Nehemiah 6:1–3 — “I Cannot Come Down” (Jesse Lockhart, 5‑27‑26 PM)

Bro. Jesse preaches from Nehemiah 6 on the moment when Nehemiah, knee‑deep in rebuilding Jerusalem’s walls, refuses the enemy’s invitation to “come down” because the work was too great to abandon. He walks through the whole backdrop—the seventy years of captivity, the ruins of Jerusalem, the people finally stirred with a mind to work, and the relentless opposition that rose every time progress was made. From ridicule to intimidation to internal division, the enemy tried every tactic to stop the rebuilding, just as the devil tries to stop believers today. But Nehemiah’s answer becomes the heartbeat of the message: when God gives you a work, you don’t quit, you don’t slow down, and you don’t step off the wall for anything or anyone. Jesse warns that the devil often comes disguised as friendliness, compromise, or “just take it easy,” but stepping down always leads to spiritual loss. The call is to stand firm, stay straight, hold convictions, fight for family and faith, and refuse every distraction with Nehemiah’s words: “I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down.”

Evening Service – The Heart (Jesse Lockhart, 5‑24‑26 PM)

In this message on the heart, Bro. Jesse walks through God’s choosing of David in 1 Samuel 16, showing that while man looks at stature and appearance, God looks directly into the heart—the true core of a person. He explains that humanity’s natural heart is hardened, wicked, and incapable of producing righteousness, and that salvation is not behavior modification but a supernatural heart‑transplant where God removes the stony heart and gives a tender one that can feel, love, obey, and desire the things of God. Using Scripture, personal testimony, and vivid illustrations, he shows how the new heart produces new desires—love for people, hunger for God, and a willingness to be shaped like clay on the Potter’s wheel. The message ends with a call for continual self‑examination, asking God to search the heart, expose hidden ways, and shape believers into people whose inner life reflects Christ rather than outward appearance.

Morning Service – Seeing the Big Picture (Jesse Lockhart, 5‑24‑26 AM)

Bro. Jesse preaches from John 3:16–17 on the call to “see the big picture,” reminding the church that God’s love stretches across the whole world, even though only a few will choose the narrow way. He warns that believers often get tunnel vision—focused on personal comfort, personal opinions, or personal frustrations—while forgetting the eternal reality of souls, heaven, and hell. Through Scripture, parables, and testimony—including the powerful story of his father’s cancer becoming the very tool God used to reach a dying man—he shows that God works through suffering, delay, and difficulty to accomplish purposes far bigger than we can see. The message challenges listeners to step back, humble themselves, examine their own hearts, and look at people and circumstances through God’s eyes, remembering that Christ purchased the whole field because He saw treasure in it.

Sunday School – Kindness (5‑24‑26)

In this Sunday School lesson, the focus settles on kindness as a mark of those who have truly entered through Christ the Door, reminding us that salvation is not the finish line but the beginning of a life that must be walked “worthy of the vocation” we’ve been called into. The teacher draws from Ephesians 4 to show that the saved are expected to grow—from spiritual infants tossed by every wind of doctrine into mature believers who walk in lowliness, meekness, longsuffering, and love, even when hurt comes from within the church itself. He warns that immaturity, pride, and doctrinal laziness fracture unity, while true growth requires patience with one another, discernment against deception, and a willingness to seek God rather than run from discomfort. The message presses that the Christian life is a continual maturing, a guarding of the heart, and a commitment to unity so the body of Christ can stand strong together.

Preaching from 1 Samuel 17, Brother Jesse declares that David’s question—“Is there not a cause?”—still confronts believers today as the enemy rises like Goliath to intimidate, defy, and discourage God’s people. He shows how David refused to see a giant and instead saw the God who had delivered him before, urging the church to stop running from spiritual battles and stand their ground for their families, their homes, their church, and their nation. With vivid imagery of David rejecting Saul’s armor, taking up his staff of remembrance, choosing five stones of grace, and running toward the fight in the name of the Lord, he calls believers to courage, prayer, and unwavering confidence that the battle is the Lord’s and victory still belongs to those who stand for Him.

This message centers on Jesus’ teaching about the faithful steward in Luke 12, emphasizing that salvation is not the finish line but the starting point of a life of responsibility, obedience, and service to the Lord. The preacher warns that many want the blessings of God without the labor of stewardship, yet every believer has been entrusted with work to do, and the Lord will one day require an account of how we lived outside the church walls as much as inside them. Through examples from Jonah, Solomon, and the unjust steward, he urges believers to be faithful, honest, merciful, and diligent, reminding them that God rewards those who labor in secret, keeps vows, and handles both earthly and spiritual responsibilities with integrity.

In this lesson the pastor draws a straight line from Noah’s Ark to John 10, showing that just as God shut the door on the Ark, Jesus Himself is now the only door into salvation, the Good Shepherd whose sheep know His voice and follow Him while strangers flee. He warns that today’s world is full of “other ways” being sold, but Scripture is clear—there is only one door, one Shepherd, one voice, and those who drift from church, from fellowship, and from obedience often do so slowly, pulled away by the thief who steals, kills, and destroys. He reminds the church that the Shepherd leads, protects, and calls both Jew and Gentile, and that the enemy uses comfort, distraction, and absence to separate believers from the fold, but abundant life is found only by staying near the Shepherd and entering through His door.

This midweek message unfolds Isaiah’s parable of the vineyard, showing how God fenced, cleared, planted, protected, and prepared His people with every intention of producing good fruit, yet they brought forth wild, poisonous grapes through rejection of Jesus and refusal to walk in His way. Brother Jesse warns that modern society is deeply religious yet spiritually blind, embracing God and even “a Christ” while rejecting Jesus’ actual path of obedience, repentance, and self-denial. He urges believers to be doers of the Word, to guard against false doctrine and emotional deception, to cling to Scripture as settled truth, and to recognize that rejecting Jesus—His way, His commands, His authority—is what destroys nations, churches, and souls.

He focuses on the question, “Who shall declare His generation?” calling believers to boldly tell the story of Jesus in a world growing dangerously close to a generation that no longer knows Him. Through the example of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch, he shows that the gospel must be declared with conviction, anointing, and personal testimony, urging the church not to hold its peace but to sow, water, and trust God for the increase as they proclaim Christ to a lost and fading world.

In this message Brother Jesse walks through Joshua 7 to show how hidden sin destroys victory, explaining that Israel’s defeat at Ai wasn’t a military failure but a spiritual one—Achan had taken the forbidden garment, silver, and gold, burying them in his tent, and what one man hid brought judgment on the whole camp. He warns that when joy, peace, and power disappear, “something is wrong somewhere,” because sin always separates, always weakens, always steals the strength God gives His people. Using the fall of Adam, the regret of bad choices, and the danger of justifying “small sins,” he urges listeners to search their hearts, uncover what’s buried, and remove the accursed thing before “tomorrow”—the day of judgment—arrives, reminding us that God will not bless, empower, or fight for a people who cling to what He has forbidden.

Brother Jesse Lockhart preached from Hebrews 2 on the urgent call to “give the more earnest heed” to the Word we’ve heard, reminding us that God has spoken in these last days through His Son, whose first message was the simple but eternal command: repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand. He warned how easily our distracted minds let truth slip away, how prayer and conviction fade when we don’t meditate on Scripture, and how the voice of Jesus—unlike any other—first spoke to each of us in salvation, saying plainly, “you’re lost.” Through examples of the centurion, the nobleman, and the astonished officers who declared “never man spake like this man,” he urged us not to let God’s words fall to the ground but to treasure them, think long on them, and respond while He is speaking, because the privilege of hearing the Word of God is too great to take lightly.

He warns that the enemy conquers by blending truth with error, and that unrepentant sin becomes a serpent’s bite that poisons worship, fellowship, and spiritual freedom unless it is shaken off into the fire of repentance. With pastoral weight, he presses the Lord’s ultimatum—“repent or else”—and reminds believers that overcoming brings hidden manna, a white stone of innocence, and a new name known only to God. It is a call to holiness, separation, and daily dying to self so the church can walk clean, free, and victorious before the Lord.

Using the story of Nicodemus coming to Jesus by night, he challenges listeners to stop hiding in the dark and step boldly into the light where salvation, fellowship, and freedom are found. He reminds the church that heaven gave its very best—Christ’s full and perfect sacrifice—and that salvation is for the “whosoever,” no matter their past, their failures, or their excuses. With testimony, conviction, and compassion, he calls people to stop waiting, stop sitting in the shadows, and come to the One who still saves, still answers prayer, and still breaks chains today.

In this message, Brother John walks the congregation through Psalm 23 as a living picture of the redeemed, showing how the Good Shepherd leads, protects, corrects, restores, and carries His people through green pastures, still waters, deep valleys, and fiery trials. He paints salvation as a complete transformation—where the believer stops chasing the world and begins following the Shepherd who knows every danger, every wolf in disguise, every valley where the soil is rich and the water runs deep. He reminds the church that grace and goodness follow the redeemed like two angels, teaching, strengthening, and providing through every temptation, every mountain, and every moment of need until the Shepherd finally says, “Well done,” and leads His child safely across the river into the house of the Lord forever.

Brother John closes the revival by urging the church—young and old—to stay with Jesus no matter what, using Psalm 73 to show how easily believers can stumble when they focus on the world’s prosperity or life’s injustices. Asaph’s journey from confusion to clarity mirrors the believer’s path: looking at them leads to envy, looking at self leads to discouragement, but looking at God restores understanding and strength. Brother John reminds the congregation that suffering, confusion, and unanswered questions are part of the Christian walk, but God is always present, guiding His people by the hand, and that revival comes when believers draw near, trust His eternal perspective, and walk with Him hand in hand.

He warns that a day is coming when the unjust will remain unjust and the righteous remain righteous, with no more chances to repent, and stresses that human nature cannot make itself holy—only Christ can. He explains that God gives every person the opportunity to choose, but that rejecting Christ is choosing eternal separation, while accepting Him grants access to the tree of life and entrance through the gates of the city.

He warns that many churches today resemble bodies with sinew and skin but no breath, mistaking activity for revival, and calls the church to repentance, unity, and readiness, because God still has purpose for every believer and desires to raise an exceeding great army.

Drawing from Psalms 30:5—“weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning”—the preacher walks through the long night of Passover, the bitter herbs, the blood on the door, and the command to stay behind the covering until dawn. He parallels that with the disciples’ grief after the crucifixion, the silence of Saturday, and the women approaching the tomb while it was yet dark—only to find the stone rolled away and the Son risen. The message declares that the same God who brought Israel out at daybreak and raised Jesus at sunrise is the God who brings His people out of their own nights of fear, uncertainty, and spiritual coldness. When the S.O.N. rises in a life, darkness breaks, dread lifts, and joy returns with power.

The Church of the living God-4-26-26-am-Jesse Lockhart

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 21:19:05 -0500

This sermon centers on the true nature of the church—not a building, denomination, or organization, but the living body of Christ made up of those born into it by the Spirit. Preaching from 1 Corinthians 12, the message emphasizes unity, purity, and spiritual health, reminding believers that God uses the church to bring forth sons and daughters into the kingdom, and that a divided, worldly, or weakened body cannot birth spiritual life. The preacher warns against strife, gossip, jealousy, and the subtle poisons that creep into congregations when discernment is lacking and personal pride replaces love for God and one another. He calls the church to holiness, separation from the world, and a renewed commitment to the gospel, urging believers to fall out of love with themselves and back in love with Christ. With vivid illustrations—from the pot of wild gourds to the murmuring spirit that kills worship—he challenges the body to quit whining and start shining, to guard what enters the church, and to walk in unity so the light of Christ can reach the lost.

Podcast Summary — Sunday School (Romans 10–11) – 4/19/26

This Sunday School lesson walks slowly and honestly through Romans 10 and into 11, confronting the confusion of modern easy‑believism and the false doctrines rising in these last‑days. The teacher stresses that being born again is the most important decision a person will ever make—far above good works, community service, or having your name on plaques and programs—and that believing the Bible is true is not the same as being saved. Paul’s burden for Israel becomes the backdrop for explaining that the Jews, though God’s chosen people, must now come the same way as the Gentiles: through conviction, confession, and the drawing of the Holy Ghost. The lesson exposes the lie that only a pre‑selected few can be saved, declaring instead that Christ alone was predestined and that “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Through personal testimony, the teacher describes how conviction breaks the heart, how the Lord knocks first, and how salvation brings a felt change—relief, cleansing, and a new life. Romans 10 is shown as the doorway to salvation, while Romans 11 reveals Israel’s partial blindness, the Gentiles’ grafting in, and God’s ongoing mercy toward His people. Above all, the message calls listeners to cling to truth in a time of apostasy, to reject watered‑down doctrine, and to remember that salvation is by grace, through faith, and must be personally received.

Bill Frisbee-4-23-26-Bethal church revival

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 21:17:02 -0500

In this message, Brother Bill calls the church back to the potter’s house, reminding us that trust, faith, and restoration all begin where God first laid His hands on us. Using Jeremiah 18, he paints the picture of a God who never throws the clay away—who gathers every broken piece, every crack, every failure, and reshapes us into what seems good to Him. He warns that modern believers often hide their needs, fear judgment, or treat God like a tool in their back pocket, but the altar is still the place where strength begins and where the vessel is made whole again. He urges the church to return to the molding wheel, to reject complacency, to embrace conviction, and to remember that salvation is not the finish line but the beginning of a life of growth, chastening, and pursuit of righteousness. The message rises into testimony—how God took nothing and made something, how He changed a life headed the wrong way, and how the Spirit must remain consistent both inside and outside the church. Brother Bill closes by calling the church to be ready, molded, and prepared for the moment when the Lord returns and the redeemed rise to meet Him in the air.

Who Broke Your Chains-4-26-26-Bethal Revival- Bill Frisbee-

“Who Broke Your Chains?” – Bill Frisbee, Bethel Revival (4‑27‑26)

This revival message centers on Acts 16 and the midnight deliverance of Paul and Silas, using their story to confront the modern church’s spiritual paralysis. Brother Bill preaches that many believers today are bound by chains of dryness, routine, fear, and silence—locked in an “inner prison” of their own making—while the same Spirit that shook the jail in Philippi is still available to shake lives now. He warns that churches often shut the door on the very move of God they claim to desire, settling for predictable services instead of Holy Ghost liberty. Through vivid illustrations, testimonies of healing, and a call to bold worship, he urges the congregation to stop living as chained Christians and let God break every link, not just enough to feel better but enough to walk in freedom, power, and testimony.

Haggai 2:1–5 – Jesse Lockhart (4‑22‑26)

Preaching from Haggai 2, Brother Jesse reminds the church that the same Spirit who filled the temple in its first glory is still with God’s people today, even if the outward structure looks smaller or weaker than before. He traces Israel’s return from Babylon, the rebuilding of the altar, and the mixture of weeping and shouting as the new foundation was laid, showing that real strength begins with prayer, not appearance. He challenges believers to reject “microwave religion,” put in the work of seeking God, and remember that every strong home, church, and life must be built on an altar that stays active. With warmth and urgency, he calls the congregation to pray through, worship deeply, and trust that God’s Spirit remains among them—unchanged, unweakened, and ready to move when His people return to Him.

How To get a answer from the Lord-Jesse Lockhart 4-19-26-pm

Sat, 25 Apr 2026 22:32:35 -0500

“How to Get an Answer From the Lord” – Evening Service (4‑19‑26 PM)

Preaching from 1 Peter 5, the pastor teaches that answered prayer begins with humility, because God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. He explains that praying “boldly” never means arrogantly demanding from God, but approaching Him with confidence in His mercy. Using Jacob wrestling with the angel, Hannah praying silently for a son, and personal experiences of brokenness, he shows that God often answers only after a believer stops striving and fully leans on Him. He emphasizes casting all cares upon the Lord, honoring vows made in prayer, and recognizing that peace itself is often God’s answer before circumstances change. The message calls the church to return to “praying through”—seeking God until the burden lifts and the heart knows heaven has heard.

Sat, 25 Apr 2026 22:31:53 -0500

“And the Word of Their Testimony” – Morning Service (4‑19‑26 AM)

This message centers on Revelation 12:11 and the power of a believer’s testimony, declaring that Christians overcome the enemy by the blood of the Lamb and by openly declaring what Christ has done for them. The preacher contrasts true salvation with the shallow “do‑better” religion of the age, insisting that real conversion makes a new creature with new desires, including a longing for God’s house. He walks through biblical examples—the healed leper, the Samaritan woman, and others—showing how every person touched by Christ had to tell it. He urges believers not to leave their families guessing at their spiritual condition, reminding them that the testimony they leave behind will either stand for them or against them. The message ends with a heartfelt plea for God’s people to speak boldly, live faithfully, and leave behind a clear witness of genuine salvation.

Sunday School – Romans 10–11 (4‑19‑26)

In this lesson, the teacher walks the class through Romans 10 and into 11, pressing hard on the difference between merely believing the Bible is true and actually being born again. He explains Paul’s burden for Israel, showing that even God’s chosen people must come the same way as the Gentiles—through conviction, confession, and the new birth. He warns against modern easy‑believism and the false idea that acknowledging God is enough, reminding listeners that salvation requires the Lord dealing with the heart and a sinner responding in repentance. Using his own testimony, he describes conviction as both fear and love pulling a person to Christ, and he celebrates that the gospel now gives equal access to Jew and Gentile alike. The lesson closes by highlighting Israel’s stumbling, the grafting in of the Gentiles, and God’s ongoing plan of grace.

The Lure -4-18-26-Gum Springs Church Revival

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 21:16:03 -0500

Brother Joe Sanders preached a revival message centered on the reality that every believer is pulled between the natural eye and the spiritual one, and that the devil knows exactly how to lure God’s people away from focus, worship, and obedience. Using James 1, he reminded the church that trials, irritations, and temptations are not signs of failure but signs of spiritual activity—because the enemy only bothers those he hasn’t already trapped. With vivid illustrations, including a fisherman’s tackle box full of custom lures, he showed how Satan tailors distractions, frustrations, drifting thoughts, and everyday annoyances to draw Christians off course. Yet the Spirit keeps the believer steady when the flesh wants to rise and fall with every circumstance. The call of the revival was clear: stay alert to the lures, ask God for wisdom, resist being drawn away by your own desires, and keep your heart tuned to the Lord so He can do His perfect work in you.

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 21:15:01 -0500

Bro. Joe Sanders preached on the deep hunger every believer carries for spiritual food, reminding us that the church, the preacher, and the people are rarely the problem—our appetite is. Using Ruth in Boaz’s field, he showed how God leaves “handfuls of purpose” for those willing to work, press through resistance, and stay close to the source of blessing rather than living off someone else’s overflow. He warned that hobbies, possessions, and even God‑given blessings can become idols when they outrank the Lord, and he urged the church to return to prayer, worship, and the Word with the same desperation Ruth had when she gleaned in the heat of the day. Through childhood stories of scarcity, seasons of financial struggle, and miracles like unexpected medical bills being wiped away, he testified that God faithfully provides for His people—but only when we stay in the right field, seeking Him above everything else.

Brother Joe Sanders preached from Matthew 6 on the call to stop worrying and start seeking—reminding us that life changes when we truly “seek first the kingdom of God.” He walked through the stories of the woman with the issue of blood, the woman caught in adultery, the Samaritan woman at the well, and Zacchaeus, showing how every one of them was transformed the moment they pushed through fear, shame, or obstacles and simply went to where Jesus was. He warned that many believers avoid the Lord the same way we avoid people we don’t want to meet in a hallway, but real change only comes when we draw near, confess honestly, and let Him work. With personal testimony of his own salvation and the reminder that the devil only wants destruction while Jesus offers life, he urged listeners to stay close, stay humble, stay growing, and never let routine replace relationship—because Jesus still passes by, still sees us as we are, and still makes the difference when we choose Him.

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 21:38:08 -0500

Brother Danny Coffelt preached from Matthew 5:6, reminding us that just as the body cannot survive without food and water, the soul cannot live without the righteousness of God, and Jesus alone is the Bread of Life who fills the inner man. He walked through Scripture—from manna in the wilderness, to Elijah at the brook, to the feeding of the five thousand—to show how God has always provided physical nourishment, but Christ calls us to a deeper hunger: a craving for holiness, for His Word, for the living water that springs up into everlasting life. He warned that many believers today don’t recognize spiritual starvation because we live in physical abundance, and he contrasted true spiritual feeding with the entertainment‑driven “shows” that left many churches empty after COVID, proving they had fed the flesh but not the spirit. Hunger for God, he said, is proven by faithfulness, by longing for His house, by refusing to let the inner man dry up, because those who truly hunger and thirst after righteousness will be filled—overflowing, sustained, and transformed by the presence of God.

Be ye Doers of The Word -4-15-26 Jesse Lockhart

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 21:16:58 -0500

Brother Jesse Lockhart preaches from James 1:22 with a clear, urgent call for believers to move beyond merely hearing God’s Word and become true doers of it, reminding us that Christianity is not a spectator’s life but a life of obedience, action, and reasonable service. Using Naaman’s story, he shows how God rarely asks us for great feats—only simple obedience—and how pride, distraction, and self often keep us from doing what we already know is right. He warns that sin is not only the wrong we commit but also the good we refuse to do, urging self‑examination like the man looking into the glass who must not forget what he sees. God speaks to the heart, never contrary to His Word, and His blessings rest on those who continue in obedience, not forgetful hearers but faithful doers who trust Him through every muddy Jordan He leads them into.

Here is your podcast‑ready, single‑paragraph summary, written in the same clean, narrative rhythm you use for Fairview Union‑style recordings:

Brother Joe Sanders at Gum Springs Church in Tracy City, Tennessee, preaches from Genesis 37:12–14, showing how Joseph’s simple errand to check on his brothers became the beginning of a long, painful, God‑directed journey that neither he nor Jacob could have imagined. He reminds listeners that God’s plans rarely match our expectations, that His ways are higher than ours, and that following Him often requires leaving comfort, enduring hardship, and trusting when nothing makes sense. Through personal testimony—family loss, financial struggle, layoffs, and unexpected provision—Pastor Joe emphasizes that God grows His children not by pampering them but by walking with them through trials, teaching them to trust, forgive, and stay faithful. Like Joseph, Daniel, David, and the three Hebrew boys, believers are called to honor God daily, even when the path is unclear, knowing He never abandons His own and uses every season to shape them for His purpose.

What Can You do for The Lord- Joe Sanders -4-13-26

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 21:16:08 -0500

In this revival message from Gum Springs, Brother Joe Sanders calls the church to return to the simple, surrendered prayer Jesus prayed in Gethsemane—“Not my will, but Thine be done.” He warns how easy it is to pray for God’s will in everyone else’s life while never asking for it in our own, and how believers slowly grow calloused when they get used to church attendance without true seeking. Through stories of work, frustration, talent, and everyday life, he reminds listeners that God can use anyone who makes themselves available, but the devil works to keep hearts distracted, comfortable, and spiritually dull. Sanders urges the church to move beyond routine, beyond excuses, and beyond comparing themselves to others, and instead come to the altar asking God to cleanse, guide, stir, and use them—because one willing Christian can make a difference in a family, a church, and a community when they truly seek the Lord’s will.

The Good Samaritan -4-12-26-pm - Jesse Lockhart

The Good Samaritan – Luke 10

The final message used the Good Samaritan to show the downward path of a soul that leaves God’s presence. Like the man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho, anyone who departs from God always goes down—into danger, into wounds, into scars that sin never fails to leave behind. The thieves represent the enemy waiting for distance, waiting for someone to wander just far enough from God to be cut off and attacked. Yet the heart of the message was the compassion of the Samaritan, a picture of Christ Himself, who finds us stripped, wounded, and half‑dead, lifts us up, binds our wounds, and carries us to safety. It is a reminder that while sin takes everything from us, Jesus restores what we cannot fix on our own.

The Apostate Church- 4-12-26-am- Jesse Lockhart

The Apostate Church – 2 Thessalonians 2

In the evening message, Brother Jesse warned from 2 Thessalonians 2 about the apostate generation we are living in—a time when truth is being abandoned, conviction is rare, and the Spirit of God is slowly withdrawing. Paul’s words about the “mystery of iniquity” remind us that sin grows bold when judgment doesn’t fall immediately, and people begin believing they can live any way they choose without consequence. As the true Spirit is resisted, an imitation spirit rises—emotional, entertaining, and deceptive—filling the void where holiness once stood. Scripture teaches that when the Spirit steps aside, the man of sin will be revealed, and the world will run to him because they no longer recognize truth. This message calls the church to stay anchored, stay clean, and stay sensitive to the Spirit while He still draws.

This morning’s lesson reminded us how close the coming of the Lord truly is and how important it is to stay spiritually ready, not just in church but in everyday moments when we least expect to be questioned about our faith. A simple conversation at a ballfield turned into an interrogation about salvation, showing how easily confusion can arise when believers argue instead of guiding souls toward Christ. Matthew 4 revealed that even Jesus was tempted at His weakest, proving that temptation is not evidence of being lost but evidence that the enemy sees you as a threat. The devil presses hardest where we are weakest, but Jesus showed us how to answer with Scripture and stand firm. Temptation, trials, and intrusive thoughts don’t mean God has left us—they mean we’re in the fight, and the enemy wants us back.

The Threshing Floor-4-8-26- Jesse Lockhart

Sat, 11 Apr 2026 20:00:03 -0500

This sermon centers on the biblical story of Ruth, using the imagery of the “threshing floor” as a powerful spiritual metaphor. The speaker explains how, in ancient times, grain had to be crushed and broken to separate what was useful from what was worthless—and connects that to the human condition, arguing that personal brokenness is necessary for spiritual growth and for God to truly work in someone’s life . Drawing parallels between Boaz as a “kinsman redeemer” and Jesus Christ, the message highlights how Christ himself was “broken” through suffering and crucifixion to bring redemption to others . Ultimately, the sermon emphasizes surrender, humility, and transformation, teaching that just as Ruth had to go to the threshing floor to meet her redeemer, people must also go through refining and difficult experiences to find purpose, salvation, and deeper faith.

Ezekiel 37-1-14-4-5-26-pm

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 21:37:13 -0500

In the evening message, Brother Jessie turns to Ezekiel’s valley of dry bones to show God’s power to revive what looks hopeless, drawing a parallel between Israel’s captivity and the modern church’s weariness. Israel cried, “Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost,” yet God sent a message because He still saw potential for life. Jessie emphasizes that as long as there is even a remnant willing to hear the Word, God continues to speak, shake, assemble, and breathe life into His people. The gospel still separates, satisfies, and saves; the Spirit still blows like a rushing wind; and God still raises up an exceeding great army when His people humble themselves to hear. The message becomes a call to revival—break up the fallow ground, receive the Word, and let God breathe again—because the church is not finished, and God is not done.

And You - Jessie Lockhart -4-6-26

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 21:35:02 -0500

On Easter morning, Brother Jessie lifts Ephesians 2 to proclaim the heart of the gospel: that Christ’s resurrection is not only a historical miracle but the very power that brings dead souls to life. He reminds listeners that humanity died spiritually in Adam, leaving every person “dead in trespasses and sins,” chasing pleasures that only mimic life while the enemy pulls the strings. But the message turns on two words—But God—whose rich mercy and great love sent a perfect Lamb, without spot or blemish, to bear our sin and become our substitute. Jessie paints the cross vividly, the empty tomb triumphantly, and salvation personally, sharing how the Lord drew him from spiritual death to life with the simple cry, “God save me.” The resurrection becomes more than an event; it becomes the invitation for every listener to experience the same quickening power that raised Christ from the grave.

In this lesson, the focus turns again to the urgent call to stay ready, not merely get ready, as Matthew 24 unfolds the signs of the times with fresh weight. Brother Brandon walks through Jesus’ warnings—earthquakes, wars, shifting seasons, and the fig tree’s lesson—to show that these signs aren’t new, but they are accumulating, reminding us that the Lord’s return is “even at the door.” He warns that history’s repetition can lull people into spiritual sleep, just as in Noah’s day, when life went on until judgment suddenly arrived. The parable of the faithful and evil servants drives home the point: it’s not how long you’ve served, but whether you’re faithful when He returns. Even Judas and the disciples—counted among the twelve—show how quickly people can drift when fear or pressure comes. The message lands with clarity: stay watchful, stay faithful, and stay ready, because the moment we think we have plenty of time may be the moment the Son of Man comes.

There Is Nothing to Go Back To – Jesse Lockhart (4‑1‑26)

In this message, Brother Jesse walks through Ruth 1 to show how Ruth’s decision to leave Moab mirrors the believer’s call to leave the world behind, reminding us that Moab — with its idolatry, pride, hardness, and spiritual deadness — represents everything God has delivered us from. Drawing from Naomi’s return to Bethlehem‑Judah and Ruth’s refusal to go back, he warns that the world still sacrifices its children to modern idols, still insists it is right in its own eyes, and still hardens hearts like Nebuchadnezzar’s until God must break them. Ruth saw clearly that there was nothing worth returning to, and Jesse urges the church to see the same — to cling to God’s truth, reject the shifting sands of man‑made religion, resist the pull of worldly glamour, and step toward the God of Bethlehem‑Judah who alone offers life, mercy, and a future.

John 13- Jesse Lockhart 3-27-26-pm

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 21:52:29 -0500

In this message, Brother Jesse walks the church back into the upper room of John 13, where Jesus—knowing His hour had come—shared the final Passover with His disciples and then rose from the table to wash their feet, offering a living picture of humility, love, and the shared journey of believers. He explains how the disciples expected an earthly kingdom, yet Jesus was preparing them for suffering, service, and the spiritual kingdom to come. The washing of feet, a common act of hospitality in that day, becomes in Jesus’ hands a symbol of strengthening one another for the road ahead, easing the weariness of the walk, and demonstrating that no servant is greater than his Lord. Jesse highlights Peter’s resistance, Judas’ inclusion, and Christ’s insistence that this example be continued among His people—not as ritual, but as love, forgiveness, and unity in the journey. Communion and foot washing together become outward symbols of inward grace, reminders of Christ’s broken body, shed blood, and humble service, calling the church to walk the same path with one another.

Preaching from 2 Kings 7, Brother Jesse contrasts the starving city of Samaria with the four lepers who finally asked, “Why sit we here until we die?” to show how many believers today are spiritually stuck — seeing God’s promises but never partaking of them. He warns that lost people often look into the church and see only dead religion, and he calls Christians to live in such a way that Christ shines through them with real life, not hypocrisy. Using the lepers’ decision to rise up and move toward God’s provision, and Peter’s midnight deliverance from chains, he urges the church to stop settling into comfortable nests of routine, stop making excuses about chains and obstacles, and rise up in obedience before spiritual death sets in. We can sit still and die, or we can rise up and live — but only one choice leads to the feast God has prepared.

This lesson revisits Matthew 24 to remind believers that the signs of Christ’s return are not meant to frighten but to steady us, beginning with Jesus’ first warning: “Take heed that no man deceive you.” Brother Brandon explains how deception, distraction, fear, and the easy religion of the flesh are Satan’s primary tools, while wars, earthquakes, political turmoil, and cultural decay are not new but part of the long‑running pattern Jesus described. He emphasizes endurance — that only those who continue to the end will be saved — and warns that iniquity’s rise will cause love to grow cold unless believers stay spiritually awake, resist false teaching, guard their minds, and refuse to be shaken by the noise of the age. The gospel is still going forth, the world is still unraveling as Scripture said it would, and the church must stay ready rather than get ready.

In this deeply personal and Spirit‑filled message, Brother Bobby Winton shares how the Lord pursued him through years of deception, near‑death experiences, and seasons of backsliding until the night he was truly born again. Preaching from John 3 and the story of Nicodemus, he warns that church attendance, religious motions, and even ministry roles cannot replace the genuine new birth. He recounts his coal‑mine accident, the conviction that followed, the years he spent thinking he was saved, and the moment in 1998 when he finally surrendered fully to Christ and rose from the altar knowing—beyond doubt—that he had been born again. With urgency and gratitude, he calls listeners to examine themselves, to stop relying on feelings or formality, and to make sure they know they’ve been born again, because nothing else will do.

In this revival sermon, the preacher follows the Spirit’s prompting to 1 John and unfolds the theme of being made clean through the blood of Jesus Christ, reminding listeners that all humanity is born into sin, blinded by darkness, and unable to see the evidence of God’s goodness until the light of the gospel shines into the heart. Drawing from 1 John, John 12, 2 Corinthians 4, Romans 8, and the parable of the prodigal son, he shows how Christ alone is our Advocate and our propitiation—how His blood is not about quantity but divine quality, fully sufficient to cleanse every sin. With urgency and compassion, he calls believers to stop living under condemnation, to lay down the guilt of their past, and to embrace the truth that when God clothes His children in Christ’s righteousness, He sees them as clean, forgiven, and free.

In this revival message, the preacher challenges believers with the question, “Will you be a Barnabas?”—a quiet but powerful figure in Scripture whose name means “son of consolation,” a man who added strength, comfort, and courage to others. Drawing from Acts 4, Acts 9, Acts 13, and Acts 15, he shows how Barnabas sacrificed his own belongings for the early church, stood beside Paul when no one else trusted him, and later defended John Mark when Paul refused to take him—an act of selfless loyalty that eventually restored Mark to usefulness in the ministry. Through vivid storytelling, humor, and heartfelt exhortation, the sermon calls listeners to become that kind of encourager: someone willing to give, to stand with the brethren, to lift up the fallen, and to play a quiet but eternal role in someone else’s walk with God.

In this message, the preacher reflects on Paul’s declaration in 2 Timothy 4—“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith”—and builds a stirring call to endurance, reminding listeners that the only true “time to quit” is when we cross the finish line into eternity. Drawing from Paul’s transformation from persecutor to apostle, the spiritual warfare believers face, the midnight praise of Paul and Silas, and the hope of the third heaven, he urges Christians not to lay down their weapons in discouragement but to stand, pray, and continue. Through vivid stories—like the field preacher who preached until his candle burned out and the childhood memory of longing for home until his family arrived—the sermon anchors the truth that Christ will come, and until then, there is no quitting place for God’s people.

Brother John Ross Jones preached from Acts 17 with a clear call for the church to return to the Scriptures, reminding us that Paul’s “manner” was to go straight into the synagogue and reason with people about Jesus—not with psychology, entertainment, or flesh‑pleasing substitutes, but with the pure Word of God. He warned that the modern church is drowning in counterfeits, especially the glowing screens that steal our attention, distort our relationships, and quietly replace the true light of Christ with a false one. He urged believers to be set apart, sanctified by truth, and awakened to the distractions that keep us from prayer, from relationship with Jesus, and from seeing God move. Through testimony, conviction, and the story of a young man saved that very day, he reminded the congregation that revival begins when God’s people desire Him more than the world, obey His Spirit, and let the Word do the work.

Revival - Brother Bobby Winton-3-25-26-Bakers Chapel

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 22:23:10 -0500

Brother Bobby Winton preached with fire about the goodness of Jesus, reminding us that salvation is a free gift found only at the foot of the cross, a gift that changes a person from the inside out and pulls them out of the world’s grip. He warned that today’s church has grown too busy, too distracted, and too prayerless, and that the devil uses that busyness to keep believers looking down instead of looking up. Using Luke 11, he emphasized that real prayer is learned, practiced, and lived—prayer that pulls you out of the world’s atmosphere and into God’s presence, prayer that keeps you strong when the enemy whispers lies, prayer that sanctifies and separates God’s people from the world. With humor, honesty, and conviction, he called the church to slow down, seek God, get back to the altar, and rediscover the power that once moved in brush arbors and still moves today when God’s people truly pray.

Haggai 1:1-15- Jesse Lockhart pm

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 20:30:43 -0500

Pastor Jesse Lockhart preached from Haggai 1, reminding the church how Israel returned from seventy years of captivity with joy, rebuilding the temple foundation until the enemy rose up and fear stopped the work. He explained that the devil always moves when God’s people start moving, trying to rob joy, stall momentum, and quietly erode spiritual strength “little by little,” just like a sinkhole forming beneath a road. Through Haggai’s rebuke—“Consider your ways”—Pastor Jesse warned that God’s house had been neglected while everyone focused on their own, and the result was emptiness, frustration, and drought. But when Zerubbabel, Joshua, and the remnant obeyed God’s word, the Lord stirred their spirits and promised, “I am with you.” Pastor Jesse urged the church not to fold at the devil’s first “boo,” not to panic at the news, and not to abandon what they know is right, but to rise up, rebuild, and keep moving for God even when they don’t feel like it—because heaven moves when God’s people move.

The Blood-3-22-26-am- Jesse Lockhart

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 20:29:02 -0500

Pastor Jesse Lockhart preached with deep joy about the hope believers have through the blood of Jesus Christ, reminding the church that salvation is far more than a feeling—it is the eternal confidence that sins are forgiven, names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and a resurrection hope awaits. Reading from Hebrews 9, he contrasted the powerless rituals of the old tabernacle with the perfect, once‑for‑all sacrifice of Christ, explaining that our own righteousness is nothing but “filthy rags,” and only the blood can make us clean. Pastor Jesse then moved to Exodus 12, showing how the Passover lamb’s blood on the doorposts separated God’s people, shielded them from judgment, and caused death to “pass over,” just as Christ—the true Firstborn—died in our place. He emphasized that staying “behind the blood” is the only safety in a chaotic world, and that the covering not only hides sin but sets believers free. With the urgency of a pastor who knows the times, he reminded the church that joy comes in the morning for those who remain under the blood until the Lord returns.

Sunday School -3-22-26

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 20:27:43 -0500

In this Sunday School lesson, the teacher walks the class back through 1 Peter 3, reminding everyone that in a fast‑paced world designed to keep believers distracted, we must stay spiritually awake and ready. He emphasizes that “the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous” and that although evil may look successful for a season, God’s face is against those who do wrong, and their reward will come. Believers, however, may suffer for righteousness’ sake, yet Scripture says “happy are ye,” urging the church not to fear what people may do or say. He stresses the need for separation, backbone, and consistency—living in such a way that no one can confuse a Christian with the world. The class is reminded that every believer must personally seek the Word, be ready to give an answer for the hope within them, and share that hope with meekness, not pride. The lesson closes by turning to Hebrews 11, teaching that faith is trusting what we cannot see, believing God’s Word, and living differently because of it.

Growing in Grace and Knowledge-Jesse Lockhart-3-18-26

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 20:26:32 -0500

Pastor Jesse Lockhart preached on 2 Peter 3:18, lifting up the unchanging Christ—“the same yesterday, today, and forever”—and calling believers to grow in both grace and knowledge. He taught that salvation is only the beginning, that grace not only saves but also teaches, helps, and places every believer in a God‑given position within the body, where real growth happens when we step out in faith and do the work God equips us to do. Through Scripture and personal stories—like learning to swim by trusting his father—Pastor Jesse showed how God never leaves His children alone but supplies the grace needed to fulfill their calling. He warned that many fail to grow because they settle into idleness, while true maturity requires courage, obedience, and a willingness to act. He closed by reminding us that knowledge begins with the fear of God, that knowing about Him is not the same as knowing Him, and that spiritual understanding grows like a planted seed—small at first, but made fruitful as God sends light, rain, and revelation to the heart.

Who are you -Pastor Jesse Lockhart 3-11-26

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 22:05:32 -0500

In this powerful sermon from Romans 8, Brother Jesse Lockhart asks the piercing question, “Who are you?” and unfolds the answer through the doctrine of adoption, showing that believers are not merely forgiven sinners but fully adopted sons and daughters with a lineage, a heritage, and a family name written by God Himself. He contrasts the spirit of bondage—religion, fear, and the impossible weight of the law—with the Spirit of adoption that cries Abba, Father, granting believers identity, assurance, and access to the riches of Christ as joint‑heirs. Through vivid illustrations—from orphanages to the prodigal son’s ring, from the weight of the law to the freedom of grace—he reminds the church that salvation didn’t just rescue us from sin; it brought us into a family, gave us benefits, authority, and a place at the Father’s table. The message rises into a call for confidence and joy: stop living like spiritual paupers, stop fearing the fall, and stand in the full assurance that you’ve been adopted, sealed, and made an heir of everything Christ possesses. — Whitwell, Tennessee

Sunday School 3-15-26

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 22:04:45 -0500

In this sober and practical Sunday School teaching, the focus turns to 1 Peter 3 and the urgent call for believers to stay ready rather than scramble to get ready when it’s too late, using a simple line overheard at work—“If you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready”—as the backbone of the lesson. Brother Brandon walks through the rising chaos of the world, from moral confusion to cultural decay, reminding the class that Scripture warned these days would come and that Christians must prepare their hearts, guard their attitudes, and refuse to be swallowed by the negativity that spreads like wildfire. He urges believers to live with hope, joy, and distinction in a world that’s unraveling, to fear God more than the threats around them, and to be ready to give an answer for the hope within them. Through everyday examples—from unpredictable weather to long, grinding workdays—he shows that spiritual readiness, steady faith, and a Christlike spirit are the only way to stand when the pressure comes, because the world may get darker, but the people of God still carry a promise that cannot fail. — Whitwell, Tennessee

The Blood -3-15-26 am- Pastor Jesse Lockhart

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 22:04:23 -0500

In this solemn and urgent sermon, Brother Jesse Lockhart turns to Hebrews 9 to remind the church that everything we are, everything we hope for, and every breath of salvation rests on one foundation—the blood of Jesus Christ. He contrasts the powerless rituals of the old covenant with the perfect, once‑for‑all sacrifice of Christ, warning that modern religion has grown comfortable, casual, and dangerously numb to sin, forgetting that the wages of sin is still death and that no sinner enters heaven apart from cleansing through the blood. With the stories of Samson, the deception of Delilah, and the subtle lullaby of a religious spirit that rocks believers to sleep, he presses the point that sin cannot be managed, hidden, or excused—it must be purged by the blood alone. The message rises into a plea for awakening: that the church return to conviction, to holiness, to the power that only comes when we stand under the crimson sacrifice of Christ, the mediator of a better covenant and the only hope for a world drowning in sin. — Whitwell, Tennessee

The Ebenezer Stone - Brother Chris Long-3-15-26 - pm

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 22:03:32 -0500

In this evening service, Brother Chris Long shares a heartfelt reminder that the Christian life is meant to shine with joy, testimony, and the unmistakable evidence that God truly helps His people, drawing from 1 Samuel 7 and Samuel’s Ebenezer stone—“hitherto hath the Lord helped us.” He walks listeners through Israel’s failures, repentance, and God’s thunderous intervention, then weaves in his own Ebenezer moments: the night God saved him after years of playing church, the desperate prayer over his infant daughter when her fever broke only after he cried out to heaven, and the dark spiritual attack that fled instantly at the name of Jesus. Each story becomes a stone of remembrance, urging believers to mark the places where God has delivered, protected, and answered, so that every time the enemy whispers doubt, they can point back and say with confidence, “Right here—this is where the Lord helped me.” — Whitwell, Tennessee

The love of many shall wax cold-3-8-26 pm

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 20:44:11 -0500

This sermon reflects on Jesus’ warning in Matthew 24:12 that *“because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold,”* using it to describe a generation drifting from God through distance, distraction, and unchecked sin. The preacher explains that spiritual coldness doesn’t happen suddenly—it’s a slow freeze that begins when something comes between a believer and the Lord, weakening passion, killing spiritual fruit, and cutting off the “flow of sap” like a branch separated from the tree. Through vivid biblical examples—Ephesus losing its first love, Jeremiah’s fire in his bones, Benaiah tracking down the lion in a snowy pit, and Peter warming himself at the wrong fire—the message urges listeners to recognize when their hearts are cooling, confront whatever is causing the distance, and return to the warmth of God’s presence. The sermon closes with a call to personal responsibility: you can’t live off someone else’s fire or someone else’s oil; you must keep your own heart warm, your own lamp filled, and your own love for God alive in a world growing colder.

I have called - Jesse Lockhart -3-8-26-am

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 20:43:37 -0500

In this sermon based on **Proverbs 1**, Jesse Lockhart emphasizes that God continually calls people to come to Him, offering wisdom, spiritual nourishment, and rest through Jesus Christ. However, many ignore or reject that call, choosing their own way instead. Using illustrations like a mother calling her child to supper and a horse being led to water but refusing to drink, he explains that God invites everyone to receive His blessings, but He will not force anyone to respond. Lockhart warns that continually refusing God’s invitation can lead to spiritual destruction, while those who listen and respond to His call will find safety, peace, and life. The message ultimately urges both believers and the church to stop making excuses, heed God’s voice, and return to a close relationship with Him before it is too late.

Sunday School 3-8-26

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 20:43:05 -0500

This Sunday School lesson reflects on how **Scripture becomes alive only through the Spirit’s revelation**, using Psalm 119 as the anchor. The teacher explains that even Paul—highly educated and trained under Gamaliel—did not understand the gospel through intellect alone but through **revelation from God**, and that the Bible is a *living Word* that opens itself to believers over time. The class moves through themes of spiritual hunger, the feeling of being a stranger in this world, the comfort and correction of God’s Word, and the longing to hear His voice again. The teacher emphasizes how God uses Scripture to rebuke, to comfort, to quicken the heart, and to strengthen believers when life feels overwhelming—just as Jesus calmed the storm for the disciples. The lesson ends with a call to deeper desire for God’s Word, a recognition that conviction and correction are signs of His love, and an encouragement to keep seeking fresh revelation from Scripture as the Spirit opens it.

When he is in the house -3-4-26-Jesse Lockhart

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 21:34:13 -0600

This message builds around the line *“ He was in the house”* and explores what happens when **God’s presence is truly among His people**. The preacher emphasizes that Christ Himself is life, power, and transformation—and when He is genuinely “in the house,” things cannot stay the same. He describes three major effects: **healing**, both physical and spiritual, as seen in the paralytic who was lowered through the roof; **reproving**, where Jesus cleanses and corrects what’s out of order, just as He overturned the money changers’ tables; and **glory**, the overwhelming presence of God that filled the tabernacle in Exodus and brought rest, strength, and renewal. The sermon challenges believers to recognize that God’s presence in the church begins with His presence in their own hearts and homes—cleaning out hidden sin, surrendering control, and making room for Him to dwell. When He is truly in the house, conviction returns, worship deepens, and His glory moves freely. The message ends as a call for personal and corporate revival by letting God “take over the house” again.

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 21:31:58 -0600

This message focuses on spiritual discernment, warning believers that **not every spirit, movement, or message that looks religious is from God**. Preaching from 1 John 4:1, the speaker emphasizes that deception—not persecution—is the devil’s most effective weapon today. He contrasts the early church, which grew stronger under physical attack, with the modern church, which is weakened by false prophets, emotional imitations of worship, and teachings that sound spiritual but lack the Spirit of God. Using biblical examples like the deceived prophet in 1 Kings 13, he urges believers to **test every spirit**, stay anchored in Scripture, and follow the voice of God they know from their own salvation experience. The heart of the sermon is a call to stay close to what is real—God’s Word, God’s Spirit, and a transformed heart—because in a world full of counterfeits, only those who truly know Him will avoid being led astray.

Will ye also go away-3-1-26-Jessie Lockhart

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 21:29:41 -0600

This message centers on Jesus’ question in John 6:67—“Will ye also go away?”—and uses it to explore the reality of spiritual drifting in a time of widespread falling away. The preacher walks through the chapter’s context: crowds who loved Jesus for His miracles but left when His teaching demanded spiritual understanding, and even many disciples who turned back. From there, he traces biblical examples of people who walked away—the nation of Israel abandoning the old paths of holiness, the prodigal son leaving the Father, and companions of Paul who departed from the faith. The heart of the sermon is an urgent warning: modern believers face the same temptation to compromise, chase emotional substitutes for true worship, or leave God when hardship or comfort comes. The “old paths” of holiness, humility, obedience, and separation from the world are presented as the only way that leads to life, and Jesus’ question becomes personal—in a time when many are departing, will you stay with Him or go away too?

Sunday School -3-1-26

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 21:27:55 -0600

This lesson moves through Psalm 51 to explore repentance, humility, and the reality of spiritual danger, using David’s fall as a warning about how sin grows when we ignore conviction. The teacher raises probing questions—about hell, the devil’s tactics, consequences of sin, and the fragility of a testimony—to push listeners to think seriously about eternity and the condition of their own hearts. David’s story becomes the central example: a man chosen by God, courageous and faithful, who still fell into iniquity when he let his guard down, followed his flesh, and ignored the Spirit’s warnings. The message emphasizes that sin begins in the mind, the devil works subtly, and no one is beyond falling; yet true repentance—like David’s broken plea in Psalm 51—comes when we acknowledge our sin before God, feel the weight of having grieved Him, and seek restoration with humility.

In this evening’s message, Brother Jesse lifts up the words of Jesus in John 6—“I am the bread of life”—and walks us through the Scriptures to show how God has always provided living bread for His people, from the widow whose handful of meal never ran out, to Gideon who learned that victory doesn’t come from numbers but from obedience, to the little boy whose small lunch became a feast for thousands when placed in the Lord’s hands. Again and again the pattern is the same: God asks us to trust Him beyond what we can see, to give Him what little we have, and to believe that His promise is greater than our circumstance. Whether we’re facing drought, battle, or overwhelming need, the Lord still proves Himself faithful, still multiplies what we surrender, and still feeds every hungry soul that comes to Him.

In this evening’s message, Brother Jesse turned to 1 Timothy 3 to remind us that God has established clear standards for His people, especially for those in leadership, but also for every believer who bears the name “Christian.” Paul’s instructions to Timothy were written “that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God,” and the sermon pressed the weight of that calling: that Christians are watched, read, and measured by the world, and therefore must uphold the standards God—not man—has set. Using the imagery of gold refined in the fire, he explained how God burns away impurities to bring His people to holiness, and how the second birth—not the first—makes a person a true child of God. The message emphasized that every believer has a God‑given place in the body, a calling to fulfill, and a standard to live by, and when each member walks in their place, God blesses, God inhabits, and God moves. In the end, the sermon called us to examine ourselves, trim what needs trimming, and honor the One who placed His treasure in our earthen vessels.

This morning’s message opened with Elijah’s words in 1 Kings 18:41 — “There is a sound of abundance of rain” — and unfolded into a powerful reminder that God sends different kinds of rain into our lives: the rain of blessing, the rain of trial, and the rain of judgment. Brother Jesse walked us through Israel’s three‑and‑a‑half‑year drought, the showdown on Mount Carmel, and Elijah’s persistence in prayer, showing how blessings come when God’s people walk in His ways, and how droughts — both physical and spiritual — often awaken us to our need for Him. He reminded us that some seasons feel dry, some storms hit hard, and some rains wash away what doesn’t belong, but the believer stands firm because their feet are on the Rock. Even when the sky is blue and there’s no sign of change, faith hears what the natural eye cannot: “I hear the sound of abundance of rain.” Through blessings, trials, and cleansing storms, God proves Himself faithful, and the message calls us to keep praying, keep trusting, and keep holding to the Rock until the clouds part and the rain comes again.

This morning’s message from Psalm 90:9 reminded us that every life is a story, every year a chapter, and every day a verse, and whether we realize it or not, we are leaving behind a testimony that others are already reading. Brother Jesse walked us through Scripture—from Enoch who “pleased God,” to Ahab who provoked Him, to Josiah who rediscovered the Book and repented—to show how a life lived before God becomes a legacy that shapes families, generations, and souls. He warned that our deeds, words, and even secret sins are written in the book of our life, yet through repentance and the blood of Jesus those pages can be blotted clean, giving us a new story to tell. Like the delivered man of Gadara, we’re called to go back and testify of what Christ has done, because someone is always watching, always reading, always learning from the tale we tell. In the end, the greatest inheritance we can leave our children is not wealth or land, but the simple, powerful testimony that we walked with God — Whitwell, Tennessee

Sunday School Summary – Psalm 119 (Jesse Lockhart)

Date: February 22, 2026

Location: Fairview Union Church — Whitwell, Tennessee

Psalm 119 is introduced as the longest chapter in the Bible, but the lesson emphasizes that most people know only that fact and miss the depth of teaching within it. The chapter is described as a collection of songs or chants used in temple worship, consistent with the broader purpose of the Psalms as worship material. The teacher highlights that Psalms include songs of rejoicing, prophetic passages about Christ (Psalms 22–24), and songs of reproof or restoration (Psalms 126, 137).

Theme of Psalm 119

The entire chapter centers on the Word of God, the law of God, and the believer’s relationship to it. The teacher stresses that while people love verses like John 3:16, the law is still necessary, because it teaches, corrects, and reveals God’s expectations.

Key Teachings from Verses 1–8

1. “Blessed are the undefiled in the way…”

The “undefiled” are those who walk according to God’s law. The teacher explains that God still demands perfection, but Christ brings grace within reach, making believers “undefiled” through His blood.

2. Seeking God with the Whole Heart

Trials and valleys are described as God’s way of drawing believers into wholehearted seeking. When people are weak, they recognize God’s power and seek Him sincerely.

> “That’s when you seek him with the whole heart.”

3. Understanding Iniquity

Iniquity is defined not merely as sin, but as thinking you can sin and get away with it — a spirit of lawlessness.

4. Keeping God’s Precepts Diligently

The word diligently is emphasized as passionate, wholehearted obedience — not casual or half‑hearted.

5. “O that my ways were directed…”

The writer’s longing to walk in God’s statutes is highlighted. The teacher notes that salvation changes a person’s desires so that they want to live right.

6. Respecting God’s Commandments Removes Shame

Shame comes from rebellion, not obedience. Walking in God’s ways brings confidence and removes condemnation.

7. Praise Flows from Uprightness

True worship requires being spiritually “fit.” The teacher argues that many want to praise like “granny,” but few live like she lived.

“You’ve got to get fit to praise the Lord.”

8. God Will Not Forsake His People

The lesson ends with Christ’s cry on the cross — “Why hast Thou forsaken me?” — showing that Jesus experienced forsakenness so believers never would.

Overall Message

Psalm 119 teaches that obedience, wholehearted seeking, and respect for God’s Word produce blessing, confidence, and true worship. The Christian life is not lived in personal strength but through Christ, who fulfilled the law and empowers believers to walk in God’s ways.

Tonight Brother Jesse stepped into Psalm 85 with a revival cry, reminding us that even when God has been good—when He’s forgiven, restored, covered sin, and turned away wrath—there are still seasons when His people need more, when the heart aches for that holy stirring and asks, “Wilt Thou not revive us again?” He walked us through the power of remembrance, calling us back to our Gilgal and our Ebenezer, those places where God reached deeper than we could reach ourselves and proved His faithfulness in ways we can still feel if we let memory breathe again. He pressed on to the need for refreshing—the wind of God blowing across tired embers, the way Scripture revives the spirit like cool air on a weary worker—and then into renewal, that daily inward strengthening Paul spoke of, the kind that sends us back to the altar not to get saved again but to renew our vows, our fire, our walk. With the imagery of the eagle—born for the heights yet sometimes stuck in the molting valley—he reminded us that God has good things that renew our youth, restore our strength, and lift us back into the sky. And as he preached, the message rose into a plea: that the wind would blow again, that the fire would catch again, that the sun would rise again in the hearts of God’s people, bringing revival, refreshing, and renewal for the inward man.

Alex Moore-2-8-26-Fairview Union-PM

Sun, 08 Feb 2026 22:04:50 -0600

Alex Moore preached from 2 Kings 1, tracing Ahaziah’s downfall back through Ahab and Jezebel to show how a people who once knew the living God drifted into idolatry, and he warned that idolatry today doesn’t always look like Baal statues—it looks like anything we trust, love, or prioritize above the Lord. He walked through Elijah’s showdown on Mount Carmel, the prophets of Baal cutting themselves while their god stayed silent, and the fire of the Lord falling on a soaked altar to remind the church that we still serve the same God who answers by fire, the same God who delivered Noah, Abraham, Moses, and every saint who sought a better country. Alex pressed the question Paul asked—“You did run well; who hindered you?”—and urged believers to recognize how easily Satan uses modern distractions, even good things, to pull hearts away from prayer, Scripture, and obedience. He reminded the church that God spared not His own Son, that faith requires action, that a double‑minded man is unstable, and that no one can serve two masters; we must choose daily whom we will serve. And with conviction he called the congregation to draw near to God, resist the devil, cleanse their hands, guard their eyes, and rejoice—not in earthly victories or entertainment—but in the eternal truth that their names are written in heaven.

Living on the edge-2-8-26-am-Jesse Lockhart

Sun, 08 Feb 2026 22:03:47 -0600

Pastor Jesse Lockhart preached from Acts 20 about Eutychus falling from the window, using that moment as a warning for a church age content to live on the edge—half in, half out—close enough to feel religious but far enough to keep hold of the world, and he traced that pattern through Scripture from the sons of the prophets who stopped at the riverbank to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half‑Manasseh who chose comfort over Canaan, showing how people lose spiritual energy, lose conviction, and eventually fall because more of them is hanging outside than inside. He pressed hard on the modern church’s drift toward convenience—Sunday‑only faith, Wednesday nights abandoned, families raising children on everything but God—and reminded us that the problem isn’t the government or the schools but homes that have settled for the edge instead of crossing over. With urgency he called the church to quit hiding little sins in their pockets, quit straddling the fence, quit waiting for a push to fall out, and instead step fully into the life God intended, because there is “much more” on the other side for anyone willing to leave the edge and go all the way with Him.

The lesson walked us through the contrast between the old covenant and the new, reminding us how the high priest of Israel once stood as the only one allowed behind the veil, offering sacrifices year after year that could never truly change a person, only cover their sins for a season; but Christ, riding into Jerusalem on a donkey—the symbol of peace—came as our greater High Priest, offering not the blood of bulls and goats but His own, entering once into the true tabernacle in heaven and opening a better covenant built on better promises, giving both Jew and Gentile full access to God. The teacher pressed the point that forgiveness is not automatic—Jesus said we must be born again, and repentance is required—and that while God loves every soul, sin still separates, and willful sin after receiving the truth breaks fellowship until we return to the “first works.” From Hebrews to Ephesians, the message unfolded: we were once aliens, strangers, without hope, but now through the blood of Christ the middle wall is torn down, making us fellow citizens with the saints, built on the foundation of the apostles with Jesus Himself as the chief cornerstone. And in a world full of cold days, wars, fear, and uncertainty, the church was reminded that believers have hope—real hope—because the gift of God is not of works, not of human effort, but of grace, and Christ has gone to prepare a place where the burdens of this life will never follow us home.

Pastor Jesse Lockhart preached from Ezekiel 22:30 on God’s cry, “I sought for a man,” laying out the weight of living in an evil generation where sin is celebrated, truth is watered down, families are torn apart, and even the church drifts into apostasy, yet God is still searching for someone willing to stand in the gap. He tied the call to the twelve spies sent into Canaan—men chosen to cross Jordan, walk the land, taste its fruit, and bring back a testimony—and he warned that too many believers remain tangled in the wilderness, wrapped in briars and vines, satisfied with dead religion instead of crossing over into the fullness God offers. Jesse pressed the need for people who will pray through, wrestle like Jacob until the blessing comes, refuse to settle for “reasonable service,” and search out the land so they can bring back grapes and pomegranates for their families, their children, and those still stuck in the wilderness. With urgency he asked what kind of days we’re handing the next generation—wilderness days or Canaan days—and called the church to rise, seek God deeply, and become the man or woman He is searching for in this hour.

Luke 14-1-21-26- Jessie Lockhart

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 20:57:24 -0600

In this message, Brother Jesse walks the congregation through Luke 14 and the hard truth that while salvation is free, discipleship carries a real cost. He reminds listeners that Jesus calls His followers to put God above family, comfort, ambition, and even their own desires, not because He wants to take from them, but because keeping Him first is the only path to a life that holds together. He explains that true discipleship means self‑denial, obedience, and learning to do the Word rather than just hear it, just as the early disciples left everything behind to follow Christ. Through stories of parents dedicating their children to God, marriages strengthened by putting Christ first, and believers who paid a high price so others could be saved, he shows that the reward of discipleship is God’s sustaining hand, His presence, and the eternal impact that comes when someone is willing to “put legs on their prayers.” The message closes with the reminder that following Jesus may cost us something, but heaven will be cheap at any price, and every mile of the journey will prove worth it.

His Thoughts are Not Our Thoughts - Jesse Lockhart -1-18-26

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 21:08:01 -0600

The message opened with the reminder that everything depends on the Lord’s presence — without Him, all our efforts are empty — and Brother Jessie reflected on growing up watching services transform the moment God moved in. From Isaiah 55, he emphasized that God’s thoughts and ways are higher than ours, then returned to Joshua and the conquest of Canaan to show how the Christian life mirrors that journey: salvation brings us into the land, but growth requires battles, obedience, and trust. Joshua, a seasoned warrior, faced Jericho not with swords but with a strange strategy from God — priests with ram’s horns, silent marches, and a shout on the seventh day. It made no earthly sense, yet God’s ways rarely do, and victory only comes by following His plan. Brother Jessie reminded the church that God prepares His people ahead of their trials, leads them straight through battles rather than around them, and calls them to trust even when His instructions seem irrational. Whether it’s anointing the sick, believing for healing, or facing impossible walls, the Lord’s strategy still works when His people obey. The Christian walk may look foolish to the world, but God has chosen the “foolish things” to confound the wise, and if we follow Him — step by step, shout by shout — He will bring us through.

I've got so much to Thank Him For - Jesse Lockhart -1-18-26

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 21:07:21 -0600

The message centered on Acts 14:27, where the early church gathered to rehearse all that God had done, and Brother Jessie used that moment to paint a vivid tapestry of gratitude. He imagined the saints of Scripture standing in Antioch, each rising to testify: the delivered man from Gadara clothed and in his right mind; the woman healed after twelve years of suffering; the man with the withered hand restored; the cripple at Bethesda walking after thirty‑eight years; the widow of Nain rejoicing as her dead son rose; blind Bartimaeus seeing for the first time; Zacchaeus transformed from a cheating tax collector into a joyful giver; the leper who returned to give thanks; and even Barabbas, stunned that Jesus took his place on the cross. Finally, the apostle Paul stood, scarred and humbled, remembering how Christ stopped him on the Damascus road and turned a persecutor into a preacher. Each testimony echoed the same refrain: I’ve got so much to thank Him for. Brother Jessie reminded the church that this same Jesus has done no less for us — forgiven our sins, changed our lives, and given us a place in the family of God — and that gratitude ought to rise in us just as it did in them.

Sunday School-1-18-26

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 21:06:24 -0600

The lesson opened with a return to Proverbs, reminding us that we live in a sinful world where evil is real, visible, and increasing, yet God calls His people to remain steadfast regardless of what others do. The teacher emphasized that sin explains the brokenness we see around us, and while we can’t control the world, we can control how long we let thoughts linger and how closely we walk with the Lord. Scripture warns that the wicked will be cut off, but the upright will remain, and believers must hold to God’s commandments, mercy, and truth even as the world grows colder. Isaiah’s reminder — “God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid” — anchored the message, urging the church to stay connected to the power source and endure trials that strengthen us just as training strengthens the body. The lesson highlighted that conviction and correction are signs of God’s love, shaping us as we grow, and that true wisdom and understanding are more valuable than silver, gold, or rubies because they help us discern traps, avoid deception, and guide others. Wisdom becomes a “tree of life” to those who hold to it, giving safety, direction, and stability in a world where many fall simply because they do not know. The call was simple but urgent: stay with the Lord, seek wisdom, endure correction, and walk in understanding so we can help the lost and remain faithful in a darkening world.

As it was in the days of Noe- Jesse Lockhart-1-14-26

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 21:12:34 -0600

This message centers on Jesus’ warning in Luke 17 that “as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man.” The preacher explains that Noah’s time was marked by widespread corruption, violence, and hearts set continually on evil—conditions strikingly similar to today’s world. Though society appeared normal on the surface—eating, drinking, marrying, building—judgment came suddenly when Noah entered the ark. The message emphasizes that God delayed judgment out of longsuffering while Noah prepared the ark, showing that one obedient, faithful man can make a difference. Believers today are called the “salt of the earth,” preserving the world through prayer, obedience, and standing for righteousness. The preacher urges listeners not to look for signs or events, but to look for Christ Himself, believing His return is imminent. Like Noah, Christians are called to move with godly fear, prepare an ark for their households, and stand in the gap for family, friends, and even strangers—because helping even one soul come to God is worth a lifetime of faithfulness.

A heaven to gain and a hell to shun-1-11-26-pm-Jesse Lockhart

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 09:47:20 -0600

The message centers on Luke 16 and the story of the rich man and Lazarus, reminding listeners that life is more than what we see and gather here—there is still a heaven to gain and a hell to shun. The preacher contrasts the earthly ease of the rich man with the suffering of Lazarus, emphasizing that true treasure is not found in wealth, comfort, or status but in knowing the Lord. Lazarus had nothing in this world, yet he was carried by angels into Abraham’s bosom, while the rich man, who lacked God, lifted his eyes in torment. The sermon urges believers not to be distracted by worldly comforts or discouraged by hardship, because heaven remains real, promised, and worth enduring for—a place with no pain, no sickness, no sorrow, and a glorified body like Christ’s. Personal testimonies of loved ones passing in peace reinforce the hope of reunion and the certainty of eternal life for those who endure to the end. At the same time, the message warns soberly that hell is real, eternal, and unnecessary—no one has to go there, yet many will by rejecting God. The call is clear: stay faithful, keep pressing toward the mark, and remember that every trial here is temporary, but eternity is forever.

Desperation -Jesse Lockhart -1-11-26

Sun, 11 Jan 2026 14:17:19 -0600

Pastor Jesse Lockhart

The message centers on the kind of desperation that drives a person to truly seek God—an urgency that goes beyond routine religion and reaches into the deepest parts of the heart. Jesse reminds us that spiritual breakthrough rarely comes to the casual or the comfortable; it comes to those who recognize their need, humble themselves, and cry out with sincerity. He warns that the enemy works subtly, wearing believers down through distraction and compromise, and that the greatest danger is becoming spiritually numb. Through Scripture and practical examples, he calls the church to return to a place of hunger—where prayer is more than habit, worship is more than noise, and seeking God becomes the priority above everything else. True desperation, he says, is not weakness but the doorway to strength, clarity, and renewed relationship with the Lord.
