E.p.i.c. Word Of Truth

You may feel too young, you may feel too old, or unqualified, or unsure. But if you are in Christ, you are not disqualified. You are not second-tier. You should not and do not have to wear a permanent label on your chest from something that is long ago in your past. You are called to be an example. Not for your glory—but for His. This isn’t just a message for young pastors—it’s a call for every believer to become the kind of Christian that turns heads. Not because we draw attention to ourselves—but because we shine the spotlight on Christ. Not because of ourselves, but because God can and will use anyone to do anything for Him – regardless whether men say we can’t do what Christ calls us to do – we are to follow Christ – for He is the head of the Church and the Living Word of God. He is the final arbiter of what we can or cannot do for Him and His church.

In this sermon, I want you to think about BELIEF and BEHAVIOR.  Paul says here that how one ought to behave in the house of God (the church), is connected to what we confess, what we believe to be true.  Vince Lombardi, the Hall of Fame coach of the Green Bay Packers, was notorious for his emphasis on fundamentals. His teams won championships because they could block, tackle, and execute better than anyone else. It is said that once, frustrated by his team's poor performance, he held up a football and said, “Gentlemen, this is a football!” He knew their core knowledge, their core beliefs about the game of football, affected their performance or their behavior on the field. Like Coach Lombardi, the apostle Paul knew well the importance of going back to the fundamentals. He penned this letter to Timothy because the church at Ephesus was starting to drift away from the basic truths of the Christian faith. Like the Ephesians, we need regularly to be reminded of the foundational truths of our faith. So, Paul write

Genesis 49:10 "The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be." In this sermon, I want to show you that in a world full of broken promises and failed kings, there is one who came to be everything your soul has been searching for. He is called Shiloh here in Genesis chapter 49, and He changes everything. Contact us @4faithfoundations@gmail.com Visit our website @ faithfoundations.church

What’s the thing you’re afraid of losing? The thing you’re chasing, whether you realize it or not? Maybe it would take several moments to really deeply consider the answer to that question. Perhaps it is a career? A sense of security? A certain lifestyle? Your children’s success? Your own comfort? Let’s take it a step further now. What are you training for? You might say, “I’m not training for anything.” But that’s really not true. You are always training. Every day, every choice, every priority—it's shaping you. You're not static. You're becoming something. You’re preparing for something. And eventually, you’ll stand before Someone. Here’s the problem: most people are spending their lives training for things that won’t matter 100 years from now. They spend years in the gym shaping a body that will eventually weaken. They obsess over finances, storing up treasures they cannot take with them. They build a resume that cannot be read in Heaven. And here’s the question: Is it worth it? Will it last? Contact us @4

Have we made repentance too easy? We live in an instant world—instant coffee, instant messaging, instant everything. And somewhere in our convenience culture, we’ve tried to make repentance instant too. Just repeat after me. Quick prayer. Raised hand. Walk an aisle. Done. But here's the thing—that’s not what we necessarily see in Scripture. That’s not how people respond when they encounter the holiness of God and the weight of their sin. Now someone might say, “What about the thief on the cross?” Good question. Yes, he was saved in his final moments—when he cried, “Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom” (Luke 23:42). But look closer. In those few breaths, he acknowledged his guilt—“we receive the due reward of our deeds” (Luke 23:41). He declared Christ's innocence—“this man hath done nothing amiss” (Luke 23:41). And he placed his faith in Christ's kingdom. That’s real repentance. Not rushed. Real. It wasn’t about time. It was about the heart. Some people have years and never truly repent. The t

To fully understand what is happening here, we must return to the scene on earth where the final war—the War of Armageddon—is reaching its peak. The Antichrist, still in power and enraged by the destruction of his headquarters in Babylon, now targets Jerusalem to establish his final seat of authority. Stages of the Campaign of Armageddon So Far: Stage I – Movement Toward Jezreel Valley: This happens as the Euphrates is dried up and the Antichrist begins advancing westward across the Euphrates into Israel, aiming to invade Jerusalem in his last-ditch effort to defend his empire from God. Stage II – Babylon Attacked and Destroyed: God ensures the final and complete destruction of the city with the final vial judgment, as the Antichrist marches on Jerusalem. We mentioned how God possibly could have used Russia for this. Daniel 11:44 speaks of the moment the Antichrist receives this news about this. Stage III – The Siege of Jerusalem and the Battle at Bozrah (Petra): The Antichrist being enraged over the repor

There is coming a day that will burst the seams of joy itself. There is a supper on the schedule of eternity that will make every wedding you have ever attended seem like a shadow. It will not be a wedding of one man and one woman, but of the Bride and the Lamb. It will not take place in a cathedral but in Heaven itself. And when the trumpet sounds, and the sky rolls back, and the clouds part as a scroll, revealing the King in His glory—what will follow is not just judgment, not just triumph, but celebration. This is the marriage supper of the Lamb!! And my heart is so stirred by this, because if you are in Christ, this is your wedding day. This is the moment when longing is satisfied, when the Church—spotless, radiant, glorified—is united forever with Her Bridegroom.

Imagine a moment when every voice on earth falls silent—the cities that once roared with traffic and trade, the parliaments that once passed their policies, the theaters that once entertained the masses, the stadiums that once erupted with applause—all fall silent. The music has stopped. The lights have gone out. The laughter of sin is gone. And in that vast silence… a new sound rises—not from earth, but from Heaven. “Alleluia.” This is not poetic hyperbole. This is prophetic reality. We are standing at the brink of the end of the world system as we know it—Babylon is falling. The great city, symbolic of all human rebellion, religious deception, and economic corruption, is not merely being judged—she is being erased. Revelation 18:21–19:3 is God’s thunderous final word on a world that said to Him, “We will not have this man to reign over us.” It is the funeral of the godless, followed immediately by the wedding music of the saints. Babylon is gone. The Bride is ready. And Heaven erupts in the loudest halleluj

There are seasons in the Christian life when we cannot see what God is doing. We pray, but there seems to be no answer. We seek direction, but the path remains unclear. We long to sense His presence, but instead, we feel silence. Job experienced this kind of deep distress. His life had been shattered—his family taken, his health destroyed, his wealth lost. And in his suffering, he searched for God but could not find Him. "Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him." (Job 23:8) Yet, in the midst of his darkness, Job declares a profound truth, "But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold." (Job 23:10) Just because you can’t see God doesn’t mean He isn’t working.

In this sermon, we are considering what to do when God has not said “yes,” and He has not said “no.” He’s just said… “Wait.” And it is in that place—that long, painful, uncertain place—that Isaiah 40 speaks with such tenderness, such hope, and such power. You see, if we are honest—we all hate to wait. We hate it because waiting reminds us we are not in control. And we like control, don’t we? We like plans. We like progress. We like seeing the next step. We like speed. But then life hits the brakes, and we hit a wall. And we find ourselves in that painful, confusing, in-between space—the space where God has not said “yes,” but He has not said “no” either. He’s just said… “Wait.” And the truth is—we do not know what to do with that.

What do you do when you pray the right prayer, for the right reason, with the right heart— and the answer is no? Not silence. Not “wait.” Not “in a little while.” But a hard, clear, painful “no.” What do you do when God says no? You asked for the healing—and it did not come. You asked for the door to open—but it stayed shut – like really shut like slammed shut. You asked for the storm to pass—but it pressed in harder. You begged for the burden to be lifted—but it’s still on your back, day after day. And what’s even harder to swallow is this: You know God could have said yes. He had the power to do it. He had the authority to do it. He had the compassion to do it. But He didn’t. He didn’t do it. He said very plainly no.  And now you are left with a question that shakes your faith to its core: Can I or How Do I Tr

So what you have in Micah 7 is the voice of a righteous man living in a nation under judgment. He is not naive about the sin around him, and he is not unaware of the sin within him. He feels the weight of national collapse and the weight of personal guilt. He has watched justice break down, truth be silenced, and enemies rise in power. But—in the midst of it all, Micah speaks words that defy despair. "Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise..." (v. 8) That is what makes this passage so compelling. It is a cry of defiant hope. This is not an idealist. This is a man who has been in the valley, who has tasted the consequences of sin, who has witnessed devastation, and yet—he still looks up and says, "My God will hear me... He will bring me forth to the light... I shall behold His righteousness."

We live our lives surrounded by the tangible, the visible, and the physical. Yet, that is the least of our reality. The greatest part of our reality we cannot see. The spiritual world is vast and eternal. We navigate our days based on what our eyes see and what our hands touch. But Scripture tells us that beyond the veil of our senses lies an invisible world filled with celestial beings—angels—sent by God Himself, engaged in divine ministry, and intricately involved in our lives.

One of the realities of the Christian life that is often misunderstood is the presence of spiritual dryness. There are times when we feel vibrant, when prayer is easy, when the Word of God leaps off the page and grips our hearts. There are seasons when obedience flows naturally, when the fire of devotion burns bright, and when we feel a deep sense of intimacy with the Lord. But… there are also times when none of that seems to be true. There are seasons in the Christian life when we simply don’t want to do anything. We don’t want to read the Bible. We don’t want to pray. We don’t want to fight sin. We don’t even want to go through the motions. The fire we once had seems to have burned low, and we feel spiritually dull, tired, and numb. This is not uncommon. In fact, this kind of struggle is woven throughout the pages of Scripture. Contact us @ 4faithfoundations@gmail.com For more resources visit our website @ faithfoundations.church

The Apostle Paul, the most influential missionary in church history, a man of unwavering faith and perseverance, openly confesses here that he was "pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life." This is not a casual statement. The Greek word for despaired (ἐξαπορέομαι, exaporeō) means to be utterly without a way out, completely at a loss, to feel trapped with no escape. This is deep affliction. This is the kind of suffering that pushes a person to the very brink. This is the kind of affliction that pushes a person to the edge where life itself feels like it is slipping away. This is the inspired Word of God - Paul is not exaggerating here. He is describing a moment in which he and his companions believed they were going to die. And yet, what do we see in this passage? That God had a purpose even in this depth of suffering—to strip Paul of all self-reliance and teach him to trust only in "God which raiseth the dead” (v.9). This passage is not just about suffering; it is abo

This is one of the most controversial passages in 1 Timothy. And one of the most controversial and ignored or twisted passages in all of Paul’s letters, of the New Testament, and all of the Bible. It has not always been controversial, twisted, or ignored. That is a more recent phenomenon in the history of the church. And controversial does not necessarily mean unclear. It is very clear. The passage itself is not too difficult to understand. Our problems with it today have to do with the proper and biblical application of this text. It has been gotten wrong, and misused and abused – quite often in my opinion, among conservative circles. We believe the Bible is God’s Word to us. We believe this passage is God’s Word to us. So we cannot ignore it. We should not abuse it. We must strive to get it right – and then believe it, preach it, teach it, and live it out. If this is not God’s word, then the problems with the application of this passage disappear. Then you can simply say, Times have changed. But we are not
