    Hosea: Go Take Yourself A Wife Of Harlotry

    Join us as we examine one of the Bible’s most startling prophetic commands and the message God intended Israel to see through Hosea’s marriage to Gomer. Israel had enjoyed prosperity, but beneath the surface the nation was collapsing spiritually, morally, and politically. Idolatry had replaced covenant faithfulness. Political alliances had replaced trust in God. Religious sacrifices continued, but the people had forgotten what God truly desired: “For I desire mercy and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings” (Hosea 6:6). Hosea’s marriage becomes a living picture of Israel’s unfaithfulness. His prophetic preaching exposes the danger of idolatry. Yet judgment is not the final message. Again and again, Hosea reveals a God who calls His wandering people home. This lesson follows three major themes throughout the book: Hosea’s Prophetic Marriage, Hosea’s Prophetic Message, and Hosea’s Prophetic Mercy. From Gomer’s unfaithfulness to Israel’s dependence on idols and Assyria, Hosea asks a question that still confronts us today: What have we allowed to take the place that belongs to God alone? Careers, possessions, ambitions, relationships, reputation, and even good things can become functional gods when we trust them for what only God can provide. Hosea ultimately points us toward the mercy Jesus Himself emphasized when He quoted Hosea 6:6. Mercy prays for those who misunderstand us. Mercy recognizes its own need for forgiveness. Mercy loves when love is costly. And in Jesus Christ, mercy reaches toward those who cannot save themselves. 3949 Lithia Pinecrest Rd. Brandon, FL 33596

    Searching for Heaven on Earth: Trivial Pursuits

    Why can a person gain knowledge, pleasure, accomplishments, and wealth and still feel strangely unsatisfied? In Ecclesiastes 1:12 through 2:11, we search through wisdom, pleasure, great achievements, possessions, and success, only to find that none of them can provide lasting meaning. They are good gifts, but they cannot carry the weight of becoming our god. Searching for Heaven on Earth: Trivial Pursuits examines four places people still look for fulfillment today: wisdom, pleasure, work, and wealth. From Ahithophel and the Prodigal Son to Nebuchadnezzar and the Rich Young Ruler, Scripture repeatedly shows what happens when temporary things become ultimate things. Ecclesiastes exposes the limits of life under the sun, while Jesus points us toward a life centered on the Son. True wisdom, lasting joy, meaningful work, and eternal riches are ultimately found in Christ. 3949 Lithia Pinecrest Rd. Brandon, FL 33596

    How Should the Christian Walk?

    Christ walked in love for us, so what is the Christian's own walk supposed to look like day by day? Sager Blackman stays in Ephesians and works through Paul's four "walk" commands, closing with a question worth sitting in: if nothing changes in your walk after tonight, would you be okay with that? Main text: Ephesians 5v1-21; Ephesians 4v17-32 Outline: - Walking in Love (Ephesians 5v1-7) - Walking as Children of Light (Ephesians 5v8-14) - Walking in Wisdom (Ephesians 5v15-21) - Walking in Change, Where the Walk Begins (Ephesians 4v17-32) The lesson grew out of the Florida Bible Camp theme "Walking in Jesus Daily," and it stays practical: the gossip and slander that come so naturally, the words we choose, how much of the day disappears into doom scrolling or overwork, and what to do with anger before you go to bed. There are short looks at the Greek behind agape, thanksgiving, and dissipation. Learning to walk gets compared to a child taking first steps, watching where he is going, practicing over and over, never deciding he is not good enough to keep trying. The last point is that none of this works in reverse, because the change of Ephesians 4, putting off the old self and putting on the new through Christ and baptism, is where the walk begins.

    How Should the Christian Walk?

    Ephesians 4 describes two very different kinds of unity in the church: one God has already given us to guard, and one we are called to build together. This lesson walks through both and asks what it takes to grow up into Christ as one body. Main text: Ephesians 4v1-6, 4v11-16 Outline: - Walk worthy of your calling (Ephesians 4v1) - Family unity: a unity we preserve (Ephesians 4v2-6) - Functional unity: a unity we promote (Ephesians 4v11-16) The first unity is a family unity we did not create and must not lose: because we share one Lord, one faith, and one baptism, we preserve it with humility, gentleness, patience, and love instead of letting pride divide us. The second is a functional unity, where the risen Christ hands out gifts and roles so that every member, not only the leaders, has real work to do in building up the church. The goal is a congregation that grows up together, learning to think, judge, and love the way Jesus does. If you have ever wondered how believers who see things differently can still be one, or where you fit in the body of Christ, this study speaks to it. Our calling is not perfection but faithfulness.

    Daniel: The Lord’s Dominion Is Eternal

    Earthly kingdoms rise, powerful rulers boast, and God’s people sometimes face intense pressure, but Daniel’s visions reveal a greater reality: the Son of Man has received an everlasting kingdom. This sermon examines Daniel 7:13–14 and follows the theme of God’s sovereignty through Daniel’s exile, Nebuchadnezzar’s humiliation, the persecution of the saints, the rise and fall of empires, and the promise of resurrection. Daniel reminds believers that political power is temporary, hostility cannot defeat God’s kingdom, and history remains under the authority of Jesus Christ. Key passages include Daniel 1:8–20, Daniel 2:19–22, Daniel 4:32–36, Daniel 7:13–14, Daniel 7:21–27, Daniel 9:24–27, Daniel 11:36–45, and Daniel 12:1–3. Kings rise, kingdoms fall, but the dominion of the Son of Man is eternal. Originally Aired: 2026-07-19 3949 Lithia Pinecrest Rd. Brandon, FL 33596

    Ezekiel: Among The Exiles

    Ezekiel spoke to people whose homes, temple, security, and expectations had been shattered by the Babylonian exile. Yet beside the Chebar canal, God revealed that his glory was not confined to Jerusalem and that judgment would not be the final word. This overview follows four major movements in Ezekiel: the commission of the prophet, the correction of God’s people, the judgment of the nations, and the consolation of God’s restoration plan. It examines Ezekiel’s throne vision, his calling as a watchman, the departure of God’s glory, the promise of a new heart, the valley of dry bones, the future Shepherd, and the restored city called “The LORD Is There.” Ezekiel’s message confronts idolatry, injustice, pride, and false hope while reminding broken and displaced people that God can cleanse, renew, gather, and restore. The book ultimately points toward Jesus Christ, the true Shepherd who seeks the lost, gives spiritual life, and brings God’s people home. Key passages include Ezekiel 1–3, Ezekiel 11:17–20, Ezekiel 18, Ezekiel 33–37, Ezekiel 40–48, John 10:11, and Hebrews 8:6–13. 3949 Lithia Pinecrest Rd. Brandon, FL 33596

    Bored To Death

    Why can life feel repetitive even when we have more entertainment, information, and opportunities than ever? In Ecclesiastes 1:4-11, the Teacher watches generations pass, the sun rise and set, winds circle, rivers run, human appetites remain unsatisfied, and memories fade. Life under the sun keeps moving, but earthly achievement, pleasure, novelty, and recognition cannot provide lasting fulfillment. Searching for Heaven on Earth: Bored to Death examines the daily grind, the pressure to succeed, our desire for something new, and the fear of being forgotten. Ecclesiastes exposes the limits of life viewed only from an earthly perspective, while Jesus offers the bread of life, living water, forgiveness, purpose, and eternal hope. When life under the sun leaves us restless, life under the Son calls us to faithful obedience, loving service, meaningful labor, and lasting life in Christ. Key passages include Ecclesiastes 1:4-11, Matthew 7:24-27, Mark 10:42-45, Luke 24:46-47, John 4:14, John 6:35, John 10:10, John 14:6, and 1 Corinthians 15:58. 3949 Lithia Pinecrest Rd.
