E.P.I.C. Word of Truth

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.

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 thei...

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 u...

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 ...

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.”

Th...

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...

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...

What do you do when God does not do what you have asked Him to do?

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 ...

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...

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...

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 tr...

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 afflictio...

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 un...

This passage assumes that we already have a grasp on God’s purpose for men and women. Paul assumes that is basic and elementary, but in our society today, unfortunately for many this is not the case.

Paul refers back to Genesis 1, 2, and 3 — so, there is something that we need to know from Genesis before we can make sense of 1 Timothy. With this sermon, we are going to go back to the basics and seek to give a concise theology of th...

In these verses, God is summoning us through His Word to a life of prayer that shakes the heavens and transforms the earth. 1 Timothy 2:1, 7-8 stands as a holy command, beckoning us to prioritize prayer—not as a perfunctory duty, but as an all-encompassing posture of our lives before the living God.

The Apostle Paul’s words thunder down through the centuries: "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, interces...

No amount of effort or ingenuity could ever bridge that gap. Yet, into this hopelessness, God Himself provided the only solution. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, not just to show the way, but to be the way—the one and only mediator who could bring sinful humanity back into fellowship with God.

Today, we turn to one of the most powerful and foundational texts in Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:5-7. Paul, under the inspiration of the Holy Spir...
