Does God Get Angry with His Children (True Believers)?

Has modern Christianity created a version of God who never gets angry with His own children? In an age when biblical masculinity, fatherly authority, and accountability are increasingly under attack, even our understanding of God's character has been distorted. Modern psychology and feminism have helped undermine the biblical role of fathers, while popular religious teaching often portrays God as a Father who is never angry with His children, regardless of their disobedience. But what does the Bible actually teach? Scripture commands, "Be ye angry, and sin not" (Ephesians 4:26). There is sinful anger, but there is also righteous anger. This message examines how much of today's parenting substitutes repeated threats, frustration, yelling, and uncontrolled anger for consistent biblical discipline. God's pattern of the rod and reproof, administered calmly and lovingly, teaches children to obey without endless arguments and threats, bringing peace and rest to the home. Yet there are also times when anger itself is justified, provided it remains governed by righteousness. And what about our heavenly Father? The Scriptures repeatedly reveal that God became angry with His own people. Paul specifically tells New Testament believers that these Old Testament accounts were written as warnings for US! From Israel's rebellion in the wilderness to the solemn warnings of Hebrews, Corinthians, and the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Bible presents a sobering truth: God's love does not mean He is indifferent to the sins of His children. But the message does not end with God's anger. There is a wonderful difference between God's temporary displeasure and His everlasting covenant love!

Sons of Light & Day Watch

We are continuing on in our study of the Practice of Holy Christian Watchfulness in relation to our being ready for Christ's 2nd Coming, whether this is in relation to our own death; that is, that we would be better prepared to meet Christ face to face. And also, that we would be thinking forward to what it will mean when Christ returns, raises all the dead, and judges the world. If we are faithful we will be able to stand with Him on that glorious Day, radiant and unashamed. So concerning the times and the seasons, we do not need to be concerned about them too much, except to say, that we ought to be aware of what the Bible does specifically teach us, not only about the Destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D., but also that there are times in this New Testament Age which are mentioned in the Book of Revelation which concern the Church's progress in her witness, in all generations. These things ought to be looked into, and thought about, as far as the Lord will enable us to understand them from reading all of the Bible, so that we will be watching and be sober in regard to the Lord's judgments, whether they are related to any time in the past, or what is yet to come.

The Purifying by Christ

John 13:10 "Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all." This sermon explores the spiritual significance of Christ washing the disciples' feet, distinguishing between the once-for-all act of salvation and the ongoing process of sanctification. The central message emphasises that while regeneration and justification cleanse the soul instantly through the blood of Christ, believers must continually cleanse their daily walk through the application of God's Word. The text highlights the humility of Christ as a model for service, asserting that no task in God's kingdom is beneath a believer. It concludes with a sobering warning that not all who associate with the church are truly clean, urging listeners to examine their own spiritual state and ensure they have experienced the washing of regeneration and the daily cleansing of sanctification.

The Wise and Foolish Builders

In this evening message, Pastor Rockhill continues his study of the parables of Jesus, turning from Luke to Matthew's record of the wise and foolish builders in the closing words of the Sermon on the Mount. His central burden is that genuine saving faith is never mere profession but is demonstrated by a life of obedience to the will of the Father. Drawing on the sobering warning that precedes the parable, he reminds the congregation that even those who prophesy, cast out demons, and perform wonders may still hear Christ say, "I never knew you." Pastor Rockhill shows that both the wise and the foolish man hear the same words of Christ; the difference lies in whether they believe and obey. The wise man builds upon the rock of the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ, the only foundation that can withstand the storms of trial, suffering, and the final judgment. The foolish man, concerned only with outward appearance and his own glory, builds upon sand, and his house collapses in great ruin. The doctrine pressed home is that true faith rests wholly upon Christ and bears the fruit of love and obedience by the power of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Rockhill applies this searchingly, calling each hearer to examine whether they merely hear with the ears or truly receive the word in the heart. As the congregation prepares to come to the Lord's table, he urges them to build their lives upon the sure and certain rock of Christ, that their faith may remain secure when the storms inevitably come.

🔥 Strange Fire - The Spiritual Dangers of Unholy Worship 🛡️

What was the sin of Nadab and Abihu, and what does their shocking judgment teach us about worship, obedience, and the holiness of God today? In Leviticus 10:1–3, we read how these two priests offered "strange fire" before the LORD—something "which he commanded them not." Their tragic account provides a sobering warning about the danger of approaching God according to human preferences rather than His revealed Word. In this in-depth Bible study, we examine the biblical meaning of strange fire, explore its significance in the Old Testament, and consider its practical applications for the New Testament church. What can we learn from this account about spiritual discernment, false teaching, religious presumption, and the responsibility of those who serve the Lord? 📖 WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER IN THIS BIBLE STUDY: 🔥 The Meaning of Strange Fire: Discover the Hebrew expression behind "strange fire" in Leviticus 10:1 and why Nadab and Abihu's unauthorized offering was such a serious offense against God. 📖 The Holiness of God: Understand why God's holiness must govern our worship, our conduct, and our approach to Him. Consider the solemn declaration of Leviticus 10:3: "I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified." ⚖️ Obedience Over Religious Performance: Learn why sincerity, good intentions, emotional experiences, and outward religious activity cannot replace obedience to God's Word. 🛡️ Spiritual Discernment and False Teaching: Examine the biblical responsibility to test spiritual claims, identify doctrinal error, and refuse to elevate personal experiences above the authority of Scripture. ⛪ Strange Fire and the New Testamen

1 Thess Chapter 5, Part 1

Dan examines the contrast between believers and unbelievers regarding the return of Christ, emphasizing that while the Day of the Lord comes unexpectedly to the world, it should not overtake those who are spiritually awake. Drawing on the metaphor of light and darkness, the message explains that believers are called to live as sons of light by maintaining a sober-minded, vigilant posture rather than sleeping in spiritual complacency. The exposition details the practical application of this readiness through the spiritual armor of faith, love, and hope, which are derived from the believer's identity in Christ. This triad serves as both protection and evidence of a life transformed by the gospel, ensuring that Christians are prepared for the final judgment and the ultimate hope of salvation.

The Time Is At Hand

The sermon centers on the urgency of the present moment, emphasizing that the time for salvation and witness is immediate as indicated in Revelation 1:3. It calls believers to examine their own faith and spiritual condition, urging them to move beyond mere church attendance to a genuine, abiding relationship with Christ through the Word. The message highlights the cleansing power of Jesus' blood and the ongoing sanctification process, where believers are washed by the water of the Word to grow in virtue, patience, and godliness. With a pastoral and convicting tone, the speaker encourages the congregation to be diligent in their walk, to witness boldly to others, and to remain sober and watchful for the Lord's return.
