    Epistles of John : 1 John - Walking in the Light (Wk 2)| 1 John 1:5-10 | Emanuel Istrate | May 31

    In this message from 1 John 1:5-10, we consider the powerful truth that “God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.” In a culture that softens sin and blurs the lines of truth, this sermon calls us back to the unchanging gospel: we are sinners in need of a Savior, and Jesus Christ alone is our Advocate and atoning sacrifice. We explore the seriousness of sin, the gift of honest confession, and the promise of full forgiveness and cleansing for all who come to God through Christ. Part of our “Walking in the Light” series in the Epistles of John, this sermon from Emanuel Istrate at Oxford Bible Fellowship in Oxford, Ohio, is for anyone longing to live openly before God and walk in the light of Christ.

    Epistles of John : 1 John - Walking in the Light (Wk 1)| 1 John 1:1-4 | Emanuel Istrate | May 24

    This week we begin a summer series through the Epistles of John, starting with 1 John 1:1-4. The apostle John, an eyewitness who walked with Jesus, invites us to behold the certainty and beauty of Christ, the "Word of Life". John opens his letter by testifying to both the humanity and divinity of Jesus—reminding weary believers that our faith is rooted in something real and unshakable. In a world filled with uncertainty and empty promises, John calls us back to the simple, life-giving truth of the gospel and into deeper fellowship with God and one another. This fellowship through Christ is what brings complete joy to our lives. Join Emanuel Istrate and Oxford Bible Fellowship in Oxford, Ohio as we explore these rich letters.

    Daniel Sermon: Conviction in a Culture of Compromise (Wk 14)| Daniel 11-12 | Emanuel Istrate |May 17

    This Sunday we conclude our journey through the book of Daniel. This book has been a treasure chest full of spiritual riches, and it ends the same way it began: assuring us of God’s sovereign rule and faithful care over His people. Daniel 11 and 12 confront us with visions of kings rising and falling, nations clashing, and history unfolding in breathtaking — and at times unsettling — detail. Yet perhaps the most striking moment is also the simplest: when the Lord speaks to Daniel and says, “But go your way till the end. And you shall rest and shall stand in your allotted place at the end of the days” (Daniel 12:13, ESV).

    Daniel Sermon: Conviction in a Culture of Compromise (Wk 13) | Daniel 10 | Emanuel Istrate | May 10

    This Sunday Pastor Emanuel continues our Daniel sermon series with Daniel 10. In this chapter, Daniel spends weeks praying and fasting as he is deeply concerned for God’s people. God answers with an incredible vision that shows His power, glory, and care. Daniel is overwhelmed, but strengthened, and we are reminded that God is always at work, our prayers matter, and we are never alone—even when circumstances feel uncertain.

    Daniel Sermon: Conviction in a Culture of Compromise (Wk 12) | Daniel 10 | Emanuel Istrate | May 3

    This Sunday Pastor Emanuel continues our Daniel sermon series with Daniel 10. As Daniel spends weeks praying and fasting for God’s people, the Lord meets him with a powerful vision that reveals His glory, His care, and His sovereign power. This passage also gives us a glimpse into unseen spiritual battles and reminds us that God is always at work, our prayers matter, and we are never alone in times of uncertainty.

    Daniel Sermon: Conviction in a Culture of Compromise (Wk 11) | Daniel 9 | Justin Kailer | April 26

    In this message from Daniel 9, Pastor Justin Kailer explores how Daniel reads God’s Word and responds with humble, faith-filled prayer in the midst of exile. As we continue our Daniel Sermon: Conviction in a Culture of Compromise series, we see a powerful model of confession, dependence, and hope that speaks into our own confusing and uncertain times. Daniel 9 not only teaches us how to pray, it also pulls back the curtain on God’s redemptive plan for Israel and for all mankind, reminding us that He is sovereign, faithful, and at work through all of history for the good of His people and the glory of His name. This sermon is for listeners who want to grow in prayer, trust God’s purposes, and live with conviction in a compromising culture.
