“Please anoint me afresh, empower me, enable me to rightly divide the word of truth.”
A Psalm 55–centered message taught from Psalm 55 about finding God-given peace amid pain, betrayal, and overwhelm. The preacher urges honest lament to God, warns against mistaking escape for peace, and shows that true, sustaining peace comes from God even when circumstances don't change. The service included baptisms, communion, an invitation to salvation, and church announcements.
“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”
Using the plough as a central metaphor (Luke 9:62), Robert Fergusson urges the church to prioritize humble, committed service: it’s not glamorous, optional, or convenient. Effective kingdom work requires God’s grace, stewardship across generations, perseverance, patience and excellence. He commends volunteers as the unseen foundation of the church, links faithful service to future harvest, and closes with a gospel invitation.
“study to show our self-approve, a workman that need not be ashamed, but rightly dividing the word of truth.”
A Gospel Assembly Church youth-night panel and program addressing identity, the influence of technology/AI, and how young people can root identity in Christ through spiritual disciplines, discernment, and practical boundaries with technology.
“"Study to show yourself approved to God" (quoted/paraphrased).”
Pastor Steve Wilburn (Core Church LA) preaches from Ephesians 4 on how Christians are to "learn to walk" with Christ: beware false teaching, lay aside the old sinful ways, and intentionally put on the new, Christlike life. He calls believers to mature discipleship by testing teaching against Scripture, repenting, replacing harmful habits (lies, crude speech, theft, uncontrolled anger) with truth, kindness, work, forgiveness, and holiness, and issues an invitation for spiritual renewal.
