The sermon explores the nature of genuine trust in Christ through the historical example of Polycarp and the biblical figure of John. It contrasts superficial belief with deep, costly commitment by highlighting how John abandoned prosperity and risked his life to remain faithful to Jesus. The narrative emphasizes that true discipleship requires a heart loyal to God, even amidst persecution and suffering. By examining Jesus entrusting John with His gospel and mother, the message illustrates the profound responsibility placed on those whom God trusts. Ultimately, it challenges listeners to examine their own hearts and determine if they are worthy of the divine trust required for effective service.

Imagine being 13 years old and told by a court that you cannot go to church, you cannot associate with your Christian friends, you cannot celebrate Christmas or Easter, and you cannot even read the Bible! If you think this is about Communist China today or perhaps even North Korea, think again. Join Jim Schneider and Mat Staver as they examine the details concerning a case (Bickford v. Bradeen) related to a girl named Ava in the state of Maine. Ava loves going to church. She misses her friends. She wants to worship with her mother. She wants to hear the Word of God, but the Supreme Judicial Court in Maine has told her NO. Commenting on this case Mat said, "In my 39 years of practicing law, I have never seen anything like this case." As a result, he will be taking this case to the United States Supreme Court.
 Other legal issues were discussed and listeners brought their thoughts to the discussion as well. More Information: LC.org

We have a love-hate relationships with labor because it is blessing from God, but at the same time the curse of sin has made it difficult and frustrating. The Labor Day holiday is a day for leisure - but leisure can also be a blessing or a curse depending on whether it is used properly.

The Great Divide Luke 12:51–53 "Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law." Every human soul stands on one side of an eternal divide. The determining issue is not race, nationality, wealth, education, morality, sincerity, or religious affiliation. The determining issue is personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His finished Gospel. Have you recently decided to follow Jesus?

Sabbath problem. What power was casting out demons? The unpardonable sin. Seeking for a sign. Who was Jesus' mother?

Judges 17 paints a sobering picture of what happens when people abandon God's authority and begin doing whatever seems right to them. A man named Micah steals from his own mother, sets up a personal shrine filled with idols, and hires a wandering Levite to serve as his private priest, all while invoking God's name over the entire arrangement. His story is not an isolated incident but a representative snapshot of an entire nation that had drifted so far from God they no longer even called out to Him. The same tendencies are alive today in a culture that celebrates personal truth and a version of God shaped around individual preferences. God has given us clear guidelines for worship, community, and how we relate to one another, and those guidelines are not suggestions. Walking away from the body of Christ or reshaping faith around personal comfort leads to the same corruption and chaos seen in Judges 17. We are called to do things God's way, not our own, because that is where His blessing lives.
