Living A Life That Makes Your Enemies Lion Food | Tim Dilena

Times Square ChurchJun 2026

Tim Dilena exhorts listeners to pursue a life that pleases God so God will fight on their behalf. Using Daniel in the lion's den and other biblical examples, he teaches that faithful obedience, persistent prayer, worship (the "sacrifice of praise"), and boldness in truth cause the schemes of enemies to backfire. He warns about a culture that removes God, urges Christians not to fight people but to submit to God, and closes with an invitation to surrender to Christ for breakthrough.

2 Samuel 3 (Part 2) Bible Study (Joab Murders Abner) | Pastor Daniel Batarseh

Maranatha Bible Church - ChicagoJul 2022

Pastor Daniel Batarseh exposits 2 Samuel 3:17–27, showing how Abner’s change of allegiance briefly brings peace and unity, but Joab’s jealousy and vengeance murders Abner in the city of refuge. The sermon draws practical lessons about how one sinner can derail God’s purposes, the responsibility to pursue peace and investigate before judging, and the gospel invitation to run to Christ as our true city of refuge.

“Man plans his way but God directs his steps.”

July 12, 2026 Worship Service

Pilgrim Rest Missionary Baptist Church - DallasJul 2026

Pastor preaches that trials refine genuine faith and produce inexpressible joy because Christians have a living hope, a secure inheritance, and a protected salvation. God provides multicolored grace to match our varied trials; suffering is temporary and purifies faith so it becomes more valuable than gold. The sermon includes an invitation to trust Christ and practical encouragement to endure and learn during testing.
