But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me through His grace...

A mother comes to Jesus with a desperate need. Here we have an example of great faith and a model of effective, fervent prayer.

This instructional sermon examines the casuistic legislation found in Deuteronomy 22 and 23, arguing that these laws are tailored to the specific historical context of ancient Israel rather than serving as universal moral codes. The central theme identifies the restraint of greed and covetousness as the unifying principle behind diverse regulations, ranging from property rights and agricultural practices to family responsibilities and sexual ethics. By analyzing specific passages such as the prohibition against mixed garments and the protection of the mother bird, the text illustrates how these rules cultivate a community characterized by holiness, justice, and compassion. The discussion further explores the theological significance of sanctuary exclusions and the provision for the poor, highlighting the tension between strict legal boundaries and the broader prophetic vision of inclusion. Ultimately, the sermon encourages believers to apply the underlying virtues of these ancient laws to modern Christian life, fostering a spirit of neighborly love and ethical responsibility.

Following the dictates of the Quran such as 5:51 – "O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and Nasara (Christians) as friends." There's 9:73: "O you prophet, perform jihad against the infidels and the hypocrites, and be harsh with them. And their abode will be hell, and evil is the final place." There's 47:4: "So when you meet those who became infidels, so strike the necks until you have made a great slaughter among them." Lastly, there's 25:52: "So do not obey the infidels, and perform jihad against them with a big jihad." That's exactly what took place, three years ago today, when the Islamic terrorist group Hamas launched the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. On that day nearly 1,200 Israelis were killed and 251 people taken hostage. As Jihad Watch pointed out, "Terrorists burned people and pets alive, children among them, looted homes, set houses and neighborhoods on fire, took civilians and bodies and filmed it. One terrorist called his parents from a victim's phone and said he had butchered ten Jews, including the woman whose phone he had taken and her husband." The article continued, "...they shot civilians on the roads, in shelters and at intersections then drove on to the communities. They shot the old, fathers and mothers with children, and teenagers. They also killed whoever was in the way, including foreign workers." The attacks against Israel continue…

When talking about Samuel's faith, you would be remiss if you did not begin by looking at his mother Hannah's faith. Her fervent prayer during her barrenness illustrates the nature of biblical faith as a family legacy and a response to divine sovereignty. Her invocation of the Lord of Hosts reveals a deep understanding of spiritual warfare, where she appeals to God's power to overcome her afflictions and fulfill His promises. The teaching emphasizes that true faith involves humility, persistent prayer, and the recognition that God exalts those who seek His glory rather than human approval, ultimately pointing to the ultimate victory secured by Christ.

Rev. William Langerak

Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching. They are a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck. My son, if sinful men entice you, do not give in to them. If they say, "Come along with us; let's lie in wait for innocent blood, let's ambush some harmless soul; let's swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who go down to the pit; we will get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder; cast lots with us; we will all share the loot"— my son, do not go along with them, do not set foot on their paths; for their feet rush into evil, they are swift to shed blood. How useless to spread a net where every bird can see it! These men lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush only themselves! Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the life of those who get it.

Sermon on Judges 17:1-13

Christian love includes correction. 1. Presume upon it. 2. Prepare for it. 3. Protect by it.
