“Paraphrase: 'you have taken a heart of stone and given me a heart of flesh.'”
Matthew Chewning preaches from 2 Samuel 6 on 'undignified praise' — calling the church to reckless, humble worship in response to God's presence, warning that pride hinders praise and fruit, and issuing a call to salvation and baptism.
“I'll remove your heart of stone and I'll give you a heart of flesh.”
Angela Benjafield begins a new series, 'Tables of Transformation,' using the story of David and Mephibosheth to illustrate how the king's table models Jesus' invitation. The sermon highlights three transformations available at the king's table—acceptance, restoration (identity and inheritance), and relationship—and challenges listeners to identify and remove barriers that keep them from regularly feasting with Jesus. Practical encouragement focuses on choosing the table daily, receiving grace in brokenness, and relying on Jesus for fresh spiritual nourishment rather than stale or secondhand devotion.
“Paraphrase: “The Holy Spirit takes my stony heart out and puts a flesh heart in.””
Pastor Chas Stephenson taught on the next major end-times event for the church: the rapture (the catching up of believers). He explained the biblical sequence (dead in Christ rise first; living believers are caught up), argued for a pre-tribulation view (the church is exempt from God’s coming wrath), urged urgent evangelism, and encouraged baptism and Spirit-filled living.
“I'll give you a new heart and remove the stony heart that you came with.”
A sermon calling believers to evidence their newness in Christ through daily surrender, separation from worldly patterns, and inward transformation—practical teaching on holiness and a public appeal for salvation, restored fellowship, and church membership.
