    Counseling For Churchmen | Dwayne Bond | Churchman

    What happens when the church hands the care of souls over to secular psychology? At our Churchman conference, Dr. Dwayne Bond — trained in both biblical and professional counseling — argues that Christians need sanctification, not self-actualization, and that Jesus has given his church everything it needs to care for its own: gifts to use, his word to share, and one another to build up. The people in your church who are anxious, discouraged, and struggling don't always need a referral out — they need building up in the body of Christ. If you've ever felt unqualified to care for a hurting brother or sister, this message will show you that God has already given you what they need. Skip Ahead.

    Get Rich in the Household of God | Michael Foster | Churchman

    Preaching from Titus 2:1–8, Michael Foster unpacks the riches of belonging to the Church and how love and discipleship from ordinary, unknown saints are the rich inheritance of all the saints — God's design for every congregation, where sound doctrine turns fellow members into fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters. True to form, he says it straight, offering practical wisdom for every season of life, with no padding, no qualifying, and no window left open. You're not from nowhere: you belong to the household of God — and this message will show you just how rich that makes you. Skip Ahead.

    Inspiration In Every Text | H.B. Charles, Jr. | Churchman

    Travel plans, personal greetings, a closing benediction — if we're honest, we skim past passages like Titus 3:12–15 on the way to the “real” text. But at our Churchman conference, Dr. H.B. Charles, Jr. proves that a text doesn't have to be inspirational to be transformational, drawing eleven lessons from Paul's postscript that all point to one truth: Christianity is a team sport. Someone has to lead, your assignment is only temporary, nobody is a nobody in the family of God — and grace will cover whatever's next. This message will change how you read the “boring” corners of your Bible, and send you home ready to stay in the race. Skip Ahead.

    Called to Be a Churchman | Bryan Laughlin | Churchman

    The American church is weak, divided, and in decline — and the reason is simpler than we want to admit: the church does not know what it means to be the church. Opening the first session of our Churchman conference from Paul's greeting in 1 Corinthians 1:1–3, Bryan Laughlin shows that Scripture everywhere assumes the Christian life is lived in and through a local church, then drives one point home eight different ways: God calls us to be local churchmen. Men need to stop curating a Christianity of personal preference and start building the house Jesus promised to build. If church has become something you attend rather than something you are, this message will call you off the sidelines — and show you why giving your life to Christ's bride fixes it for eternity.

    Understanding Temptation | Mark Becton | Grimké Chapel

    No pastor plans to fall. But Dr. Mark Becton has seen it up close — a trusted friend in ministry, a file of emails, and the cry, “I've been devoured.” Preaching from Proverbs 7, Becton shows that the Father has lovingly exposed temptation's playbook: how it studies its victims, waits for them, and hides the consequences until the trap is sprung. Yet the passage's real secret isn't fear but affection — a heart so infatuated with the Father that seduction loses its grip. If you've quietly assumed it could never happen to you, this message will move you to shine a light on your own heart — and hand you the daily bread that keeps it guarded. Skip Ahead. (00:00) Reading: Proverbs 7:1–5 (02:45) “I've Been Devoured” (05:10) A Brief Theology of Temptation (08:30) The Father Purposes Temptation to Build Us (12:08) Tactic 1: Temptation Looks for Easy Victims (14:31) Tactic 2: Temptation Waits Patiently (16:14) Tactic 3: Temptation Markets Itself (18:13) Tactic 4: Temptation Is Sensual (20:31) Tactic 5: Temptation Becomes Rational (22:21) Tactic 6: Temptation Hides the Consequences (27:13) The Foundation: Infatuated with the Father (29:16) “I Forgot the Need for Daily Bread” More From Grimké. ✦ Grimké Seminary — Training Pastors and Planters in, by, and for the Church https://grimkeseminary.org ✦ Grimké College — Practical Biblical Studies for Every Christian https://grimkecollege.org ✦ Grimké Europe — For the Church in Europe, Hosted in Liverpool, UK https://grimkeeurope.org In This Video. ✦ Dr. Mark Becton — Professor of Spiritual Formation, Grimké Seminary https://grimkeseminary.org/academics/faculty/mark-becton/ The Grimké Podcast. https://grimke.org/podcast Support Grimké. ✦ Want to support the work of Grimké Seminary?

    The Reforms of the King | Dr. Doug Ponder | Grimké Chapel

    Is a king who tore down temples and slaughtered false priests a hero or a cautionary tale? Preaching from 2 Kings 22–23, Dr. Doug Ponder walks through the reforms of Josiah—the only king in Israel's history who never turned to the right or the left—and finds in them a pattern for all of God's work: it begins with God's Word, goes forth through godly leaders, and destroys all that is ungodly. Ponder then carries that pattern across the cross to Jesus, the greater King, and asks what Josiah's zeal should look like in pastors who wield not a sword, but the sword of the Spirit. If you've ever been tempted to whisper about evils the Bible shouts about—or wondered whether faithfulness demands more fire than you've been told—this message will put steel in your spine. Skip Ahead. (00:00) A King's Reforms: Good Guy or Bad Guy? (01:53) Reading: 2 Kings 22 (04:58) The Book of the Law Is Found (06:19) God's Work Begins with God's Word (11:58) God's Work Goes Forth Through Godly Leaders (13:06) God's Work Destroys All That Is Ungodly (16:33) Gehenna: The Valley of Child Sacrifice (18:39) Josiah's Strategy of Defilement (23:07) A Greater King Than Josiah (26:26) Following Josiah on the Other Side of the Cross (33:58) Learning from Josiah's Zeal (37:47) Two Lies of the Enemy (42:11) The Gates of Hell Will Not Prevail More From Grimké. ✦ Grimké Seminary — Training Pastors and Planters in, by, and for the Church https://grimkeseminary.org ✦ Grimké College — Practical Biblical Studies for Every Christian https://grimkecollege.org ✦ Grimké Europe — For the Church in Europe, Hosted in Liverpool, UK https://grimkeeurope.org In This Video. ✦ Dr. Doug Ponder — Professor of Biblical Studies, Grimké Seminary https://grimkeseminary.org/doug-ponder The Grimké Podcast. https://grimke.org/podcast Support Grimké. ✦ Want to support the work of Grimké Seminary?

    Christ and Christian Ministry | Dr. Doug Logan, Jr. | Grimké Chapel

    What keeps a pastor standing when the culture shifts, the critics circle, and the easy thing is to drift? Preaching from Colossians 1:15–23, Dr. Doug Logan Jr. only has one answer: a Christ too big to bend. He lifts your eyes to the preeminent, all-sustaining Son—God in the flesh who reconciles enemies into sons—then warns that little compromises, not dramatic ones, are what hollow out a church. If you've ever felt your own convictions quietly slipping, or wondered what it takes to last in ministry without drifting, this message will steady you—and hand you a Christ worth planting your feet on. Skip Ahead. (00:20) Reading: Colossians 1:15–23 (02:13) The Church at Colossae and Its False Teaching (06:34) Three Movements: Rooted in Christ (06:44) Rooted in Christ's Preeminence (14:14) Rooted in Biblical Doctrine (19:42) From Enemy to Son: The Heart of Reconciliation (24:36) Rooted in Regularly Declaring the Gospel (30:32) Remember Your Calling: Conversion Still Matters (32:41) Francis Grimké's Charge: There Is No New Gospel More From Grimké. ✦ Grimké Seminary — Training Pastors and Planters in, by, and for the Church https://grimkeseminary.org ✦ Grimké College — Practical Biblical Studies for Every Christian https://grimkecollege.org ✦ Grimké Europe — For the Church in Europe, Hosted in Liverpool, UK https://grimkeeurope.org In This Video. ✦ Dr. Doug Logan Jr. — President, Grimké Seminary https://grimkeseminary.org/academics/faculty/doug-logan/ The Grimké Podcast. https://grimke.org/podcast Support Grimké. ✦ Want to support the work of Grimké Seminary?

    Risen, Indeed! (No Other Easter Sermon) | Bryan Laughlin | Grimké Chapel

    Easter is the one Sunday a year when people who never darken a church door might walk through yours—so what will you tell them? Preaching from Matthew 28, Bryan Laughlin strips Easter down to its single, unavoidable claim: a man named Jesus walked out of his own grave, and no one gets to stay neutral about it. He walks through the three ways people meet the empty tomb—fear, denial, and worship—and stacks up the evidence that makes the resurrection impossible to wave away. If your faith has gone familiar, or you've never quite settled what to do with the risen Christ, this message will press the question back onto you and leave you with something far steadier than a religious ritual.   SKIP AHEAD. (00:25) Reading: Matthew 28:1–20 (03:06) What Is Easter Actually About?
