    The Third Temple

    The minister preaches from 2 Kings 7:3-6, using the account of four leprous men at the gate of Samaria during a severe famine. The city is starving, besieged by the Syrians. The lepers, unclean and excluded, reason that if they stay where they are they will die, and if they go into the city they will also die. So they decide to go to the Syrian camp, where there is at least a chance they might be spared. When they arrive, God has already caused the Syrians to hear the sound of a great army and flee, leaving behind everything—food, silver, garments. The lepers eat and then return to tell the city the good news. The minister argues that God often uses the broken, the overlooked, and those society rejects to bring deliverance. He applies this personally, testifying that he was once far from God, addicted, and broken, but God found him and used him. The sermon calls listeners to stop listening to the enemy's lies that they are too far gone or unusable. God can use anyone who will humble themselves and receive the Holy Ghost. The minister also presents the gospel plainly: repentance, baptism in Jesus' name for the remission of sins, and reception of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. He urges the broken to come to the altar, not seeking the sign but seeking the Holy Ghost Himself, and let God use them.

    Living by Faith

    Pastor Hilton preaches from Luke 18:7-8 on the necessity of persistent, active faith. He emphasizes that God avenges His elect who cry day and night, and the crucial question is whether the Son of Man will find faith on earth. The enemy's primary strategy is to bewitch believers into doubt, manipulating them to devalue miracles and settle for a passive, performance-based church rather than the participatory, Spirit-led faith of the early church. He illustrates this with accounts of miraculous healings and resurrections he has witnessed or heard about—such as a young man raised from the dead and a woman healed of blindness—to demonstrate that God's power is unchanged. Paul's warning against being spoiled by philosophy and tradition calls believers to operate after Christ, not human intellect. The just shall live by faith, not by skepticism or emotionalism. Pastor Hilton exhorts the congregation to stop quenching the Spirit by overthinking or judging moves of God. Faith must be exercised in the present, not merely remembered from past revivals. The message urges a return to raw, trusting dependence on God, where believers ignore fear of what others think and respond immediately to the Spirit's leading. The altars are open for those needing a miracle, believing that God is just as able today as in Acts.

    The Need for Empty Vessels

    Bishop Riggen preaches from 2 Kings 4:1-7, the account of a widow and a pot of oil. The widow's husband, a son of the prophets, died in debt, and the creditor was coming to take her two sons as bondservants. When Elisha asked what she had, she replied only a pot of oil. The man of God instructed her to borrow empty vessels from all her neighbors, not just a few, then shut the door and pour the oil into them. She obeyed, filling every available vessel until none remained, and the oil stopped flowing. Bishop Riggen explains that oil represents the Holy Ghost's power and anointing. The widow's total obedience contrasts with Joash, who struck the ground only three times and stopped. She sought every empty vessel, demonstrating a hunger to go beyond the bare minimum. The sermon's central point is the church's need for empty vessels—unsaved, unfulfilled souls. God hates emptiness because the devil loves it (Matthew 12:44-45). The flow of the Spirit in the church is tied directly to bringing in empty vessels. As long as there are empty vessels to fill, the oil will keep flowing. Bishop Riggen urges the congregation to actively seek out the lost, the poor, the maimed, the halt, and the blind—like those in the parable of the great supper—and compel them to come in. He illustrates this with the demoniac of Gadara, who, after deliverance, was sent to preach in Decapolis. The spiritual purpose is to inspire urgent, personal outreach so that the Holy Spirit's outpouring will not cease.

    The Grace of God (Part 3)

    Pastor Hilton continues a series on the grace of God, grounding the message in Hebrews 6:1-3 and Titus 2:11-14. He corrects a prior misunderstanding about the Greek word for grace, clarifying that it includes charm, favor, and, most importantly, God's enabling power that bestows upon believers what they do not have. This grace provides strength, knowledge, and ability to do God's will, and it is sufficient, available to all, and can be requested for more. Turning to Romans 3, he explains that the apostle Paul refutes the idea that grace nullifies the law; rather, righteousness has always existed and is manifested through faith in Jesus Christ, not through works of the Mosaic law. There is no difference between the righteousness of faith and the righteousness of the law—both are from God. All have sinned, but believers are justified freely by God's grace through the redemption in Christ's blood. Pastor Hilton emphasizes that grace teaches believers to deny ungodliness and live soberly, righteously, and godly. He warns against the distortion that grace permits sinful living. Using the parable of the Pharisee and the publican, he shows that humility before God, not self-righteous works, invites justification. He further illustrates from Romans 4 that Abraham was counted righteous by faith before circumcision, establishing faith as the basis for righteousness. He concludes that God's grace empowers believers to overcome human limitations and live not merely by obligation but from a confident faith in God, avoiding empty religious performance.

    A Certain Sound

    Pastor Hilton opens with Psalm 89:15, 'Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound,' asserting that God loves sound and noise. He illustrates this with the angelic host at Christ's birth (Luke 2), the triumphal entry where Jesus said even stones would cry out (Luke 19), and the Pentecostal outpouring in Acts 2. However, he emphasizes that God does not want merely any noise; He wants 'a certain sound'—an authentic, genuine worship arising from the believer's own heart and free will, unlike angels who obey by design. He warns against empty clamor, citing Jesus rebuking the paid mourners at Jairus's daughter's house (Mark 5:39) as 'much ado.' Using 1 Corinthians 14:7-8, he notes that a trumpet must give a distinct sound or no one prepares for battle; similarly, the believer's praise must be certain and sincere, not just performative noise. He contrasts the beaver's futile dam against a mighty river (illustrating the unstoppable flow of the Holy Spirit from within, John 7:38) with the need to yield to God's Spirit. The pastor urges the congregation to press beyond doubt and concern for others' opinions, drawing from personal testimony—the night someone received the Holy Ghost—as evidence of God's faithfulness. He calls for a joyful noise (Psalm 98:4), grounded in remembrance of God's goodness, mercy, and the certain judgment to come, concluding that God deserves this authentic, distinct sound from His people.

    The Grace of God (Part 2)

    Pastor Hilton preaches from Titus 2:11-14, focusing on the third definition of grace as a divine gift of kindness and power bestowed upon believers. He corrects a previous teaching, clarifying that the Greek root *charis* underlies *charisma*, and defines grace three ways: charm, favor, and a supernatural gift. The core message is that grace is not merely unmerited favor but an active, enabling power given to all men, as seen in Titus 2:11, Ephesians 2:8, and Ephesians 4:7. Using Paul’s thorn in the flesh from 2 Corinthians 12, Pastor Hilton explains that God’s response to Paul’s plea for removal was 'My grace is sufficient for thee,' showing that grace strengthens in weakness. He emphasizes that this grace is always available, exceeding, and sufficient for every struggle. Drawing from James 4:6, he notes that while human nature lusts after carnal things, God gives more grace to the humble who stop asking amiss and instead seek His strength. The sermon culminates in a call to prayer, asking not for material needs but for God to bestow 'great grace' upon the congregation so that His glory may be revealed through their infirmities. Pastor Hilton insists that believers need not beg for grace; it is a gift ready to empower them to overcome confusion, weakness, and struggle, allowing God to demonstrate His strength in their lives.

    A Drop in the Bucket

    Pastor Hilton takes the text of Ecclesiastes 4:1 and Isaiah 40, drawing a contrast between the overwhelming scale of human oppression and the encompassing power of God. In Ecclesiastes, Solomon observes the oppressed with tears and no comforter, while the oppressors have all the power. Pastor Hilton then moves to Isaiah, where Israel is terrified by the Assyrian threat, having forgotten God's past deliverances. He reads from Isaiah 40, emphasizing God's holiness, eternity, and sovereignty. The core argument centers on Isaiah 40:15: 'Behold, the nations are as a drop of the bucket.' Pastor Hilton teaches that no matter how large a problem appears—whether it's a national enemy, a broken foot, or any personal trial—it is merely a drop in the bucket compared to the infinite power and faithfulness of God. He illustrates this by describing how we magnify our troubles under a mental microscope, forgetting the countless drops of God's past deliverances. In Lamentations, Jeremiah laments having no comforter, but Pastor Hilton reminds the congregation that Jesus promised the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, who will never leave us comfortless. The sermon's spiritual purpose is to shift focus from the size of the problem to the greatness of God, urging believers to trust in His ability to heal, deliver, and comfort, and to bring their burdens to the altar.

    Staggering Faith

    Pastor Hilton preaches from Romans 4:20-21 and 1 Kings 18, focusing on the need for unwavering faith that does not stagger. Using the Mount Carmel showdown, he highlights Elijah’s challenge: 'How long halt ye between two opinions?' explaining that 'halt' means to limp or vacillate. He contrasts this staggering faith with Abraham’s fully persuaded confidence in God’s promise, noting that God answers according to our faith. The sermon warns that a wavering faith, like a wave tossed by the wind, receives nothing from the Lord. Pastor Hilton urges believers to strengthen their roots and anchor in God, especially as the world becomes increasingly wicked and the church must stand firm against falsehood. He gives three steps to develop unstaggering faith: (1) repair the broken altar of personal devotion and prayer; (2) know God’s Word intimately, as Elijah knew the promises to the twelve tribes; (3) do all in the name of the Lord, appealing to His authority rather than our own power. He emphasizes that grace operates through faith, and God seeks men and women with rock-steady faith in these last days. The message calls for a settled commitment, not a double-minded limp, so that when challenges arise, believers can stand and see God answer by fire, demonstrating His power to a searching generation.
