Homeward Bound: What Do You Crave?

Healthy foods scarcely benefit a person who's already ingested poison. So the Christian who attends a weekly Bible study, hears a sermon every week, and enjoys biblically-sound podcasts hinders spiritual growth if the heart is already poisoned. Poisoned? With what? "Therefore, laying aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander..." 1 Peter 2:1 (LSB). All these toxins can show up in relationships with other believers and—if left unchecked—stunt our spiritual growth. Yes, the word of God is powerful to change us, yet our nourishment is impeded by savored sins. That's why Peter links putting away sinful attitudes with an eager appetite for Scripture. A growing hunger for God's Word belongs alongside a growing love for His people. "... like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation...," 1 Peter 2:2. This Lord's Day, we'll turn to 1 Peter 2 and its commands—as well as God's provision—for growing toward spiritual maturity. Join us as we consider, "Homeward Bound: What Do You Crave?" Prepare for Sunday: Read and meditate on 1 Peter 1:22-2:3. How do attitudes such as ill-will, envy, and insincerity affect your appetite for truth? In what ways do Christians settle for impure spiritual nourishment—teaching or counsel that sounds biblical but distorts God's Word? How, specifically, can you become better prepared to take in, and benefit from, the Word of God?

Mercy or Misery

The sermon examines the spiritual danger of forgetting God's past faithfulness, drawing a parallel between the apostasy of ancient Israel and the modern tendency to attribute blessings to self-effort or secular ideologies. By contrasting the revolutionary ideology of Karl Marx with the evangelistic approach of D.L. Moody, the message argues that societal ills are best addressed through individual salvation and the power of the Gospel rather than political upheaval. The central theological theme, rooted in Jeremiah 2, highlights God's active remembrance of His covenant people's early devotion, contrasting this with humanity's failure to recall His deliverance from Egypt. The preacher emphasizes that while God remains attentive to His promises, His people often forsake the fountain of living waters for broken cisterns of vanity. The sermon concludes with a pastoral invitation to repent and return to God, asserting that national and personal restoration begins with individual faithfulness and reliance on divine grace.

Preface to Grace and Duty - Modernized - Spiritual Mindedness

Introduction to the Preface A Modernized Version of John Owen's work, The Grace and Duty of Being Spiritually Minded. In this opening preface, Dr. John Owen offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the origins of The Grace and Duty of Being Spiritually Minded. Written during a season of severe illness when he believed his public ministry had come to an end, these chapters began as private meditations to comfort his own soul. Upon his unexpected recovery, Owen felt compelled to share these truths—first to a small congregation, and ultimately to the wider church. Recognizing how subtly the cares, anxieties, and allurements of the world invade the believer's mind, Owen presents this treatise not as a dry academic study, but as an urgent pastoral remedy designed to awaken Christians to the daily practice of heavenly-mindedness, which alone brings true spiritual life and peace.

The Giants and How To Fight Them - (1) Heathenism - 1881

The Five "Giants" Newton categorizes the major forces of sin and spiritual danger into five specific giants that every person must fight: Giant Heathenism: Spiritual darkness, ignorance of God, and the global need for gospel truth and missionary work. Giant Selfishness: The natural inclination toward self-centeredness, greed, and failing to love and serve others. Giant Ill-Temper: Uncontrolled anger, impatience, bad temper, and bad behavior in personal and family relationships. Giant Covetousness: The insatiable desire for things that belong to others, material greed, and discontentment. Giant Intemperance: Addiction, lack of self-control, and the ruinous consequences of strong drink and indulgence.

Jim Henderson's Real Story

This testimony recounts the life journey of a man who found faith in the British Army and later served as a Scripture Reader, navigating periods of spiritual struggle and physical illness. The narrative centres on his experience with heart failure and the subsequent heart transplant, which he interprets through the lens of John 11:4, viewing his survival as a means to glorify God. The speaker emphasises the sustaining power of Scripture, particularly the Psalms, during times of intense medical crisis and personal loss. By sharing his story of being 'saved twice'—spiritually and physically—he illustrates how God's presence remains constant amidst suffering. The sermon concludes with an encouragement for believers to trust in God's higher ways and to use their own experiences of healing and endurance to share the gospel with others.

Our Incomparable God

Whatever burdens you face in life—whether illness, loss, uncertainty, or fear—you have a God who is powerful enough to carry you through them. Unlike the false gods of this world that demand your devotion but cannot save, the true God promises to sustain you from the beginning of your life to its very end. Through Jesus Christ, He has accomplished your greatest rescue, delivering you from sin and death and securing your eternal hope. You can face life's challenges with confidence, knowing that you belong, body and soul, in life and in death, to your faithful Savior, Jesus Christ.
