##Sermon Overview
**Scripture Passage: Psalm 80**

The writer of Psalm 80 walked the trail we think our country paved. Psalm 80 is a prayer of a patriot. He’s praying for spiritual restoration in desperate days, on the heels of great national despair, corruption, shame, and ultimately grave danger.

The correlation is there.

The hedge of protection is down.

What was once designed to be glorious is now desolate.

We pray, and pray, and pray. America is praying, but not only are the prayers going un-answered, they make God angry because of our unrepentant hearts.

What do we do?

Look up.

We must look up. We must seek God’s face, and not God’s hand.

Seek Him first. Seek His plans. Seek His kingdom. That is our only hope.

Is there hope for America -a nation of great promise? -a nation with the most Christian beginnings of any nation ever established?

“Of one thing I’m perfectly sure,” says Elisabeth Elliot, lifelong American missionary, “God’s story doesn’t end in ashes.”

##Apply it to your life
Did you know that the prayer of an unrepentant people is an insult to Almighty God? Adrian Rogers says, “Religion without righteousness is repugnant to God.”

So. Repent. Ask the Lord to search and know you, to bring forth any unrepentant sin in your life -and ask for forgiveness. Ask Him to create in you a pure heart that you won’t sin against Him.

Only then can you begin to pray for this nation -for a revival to stir in the hearts of Americans, and for this country to return to her First Love.

Christmas Tribute to the Trinity

December 15, 2024 • Adrian Rogers • Luke 1:35

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Luke 1:35 Many who don’t believe in Jesus will call Him a great moral teacher. But when we look closely at His teachings, we find that He left no room for interpretation. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and the story of Christmas is a tribute to the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Luke 1:35 says, “And the angel answered and said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.’” The doctrine of the Trinity is what makes our faith different from all other faiths. First, we must recognize the sublime mystery of the Trinity. We will never understand the Holy Trinity by human investigation, logic, or science. The only way we can know about the Holy Trinity is by divine revelation. There is one God, and He is a triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. If we try to understand it on our own, we will lose our minds; if we deny it, we may lose our souls. Adrian Rogers says, “I wouldn’t have any confidence in a God that I could understand.” Second, we recognize the sacred history of the Trinity. John 1:1-3 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” There is no contradiction between the three, because they are One. The Trinity, together, created the world, composed the Scriptures, conceived the Christ, and commissioned the Church. Finally, we recognize the saving ministry of the Trinity. Through the Holy Trinity, we have our salvation. Salvation has been in the heart and mind of God before we were ever born. The Father thought it, the Son bought it, and the Holy Spirit wrought it. Adrian Rogers says, “You have been selected by the Father, saved by the Son, and sealed by the Spirit.” Because of the mystery of the manger, the blessing of Bethlehem, and the treasures of the Trinity, we can never lose our salvation. Apply it to your life It’s not enough to simply accept the intellectual premise of the Holy Trinity. Give your heart to Jesus, the Son of God.

Christmas in the Old Testament

December 8, 2024 • Adrian Rogers • Micah 5:2

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: Micah 5:2 Jesus was born in Bethlehem, but His existence did not begin in Bethlehem; He has been from everlasting. The Book of Micah offers us a clear picture of Christmas to come in the Old Testament. Micah 5:2 says, “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.” Adrian Rogers says, “Without the Lord Jesus, the Old Testament is simply a bundle of unfulfilled prophecies, of unexplained ceremonies, of unattainable laws. But when you bring Jesus into it, it unlocks the whole thing.” First, there are portraits of Jesus in the Old Testament. In Luke 24:44, Jesus says, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.” Jesus is who all the Old Testament prophets have given witness to. He is portrayed as the Prophet, Priest and King of every story from Genesis to Malachi. He is in every ceremony, and even in the design of biblical architecture such as the Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant. When we read the New Testament, we find the fulfillment of each law and prophecy. Second, there are prophecies of Jesus in the Old Testament. There are more than 300 prophecies concerning the Messiah in the Old Testament. Throughout the Books of Law and Prophecy, God narrows the focus to a specific man from the nation of Israel. He would come from the Tribe of Judah, specifically the family of Jesse, and the household of David. He would be born of a virgin in Bethlehem, betrayed for 30 pieces of silver, crucified, and then raised from the dead. Jesus fulfilled each of these prophecies and many more. Mathematically, when we speak of the laws of probability, there is no doubt He is the Messiah. Finally, Jesus is presented in the Old Testament We must decide how we will respond. Do we crown Him or crucify Him—accept or reject Him? As we study Scripture, we’ll find that we can believe the Bible and trust Him as our Savior. Apply it to your life Jesus has been presented to us in the Old and New Testaments. How will you respond? Do you believe in Him? Do you accept Him as your Lord and Savior?

Miracle Births

December 1, 2024 • Adrian Rogers • John 3

Sermon Overview Scripture Passage: John 3 Birth is, perhaps, the greatest miracle each of us has ever experienced. But John 3 mentions an even greater second birth for those who are born again in Jesus Christ. In John 3, the Pharisee Nicodemus represents the problem of the sinner’s birth. “Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God’” (John 3:3). Because Nicodemus was born into the natural world, he was bound to the sinful world. Those of us once-born have a sinful nature. There is no “cleaning up” our nature before we get saved. Our sinful nature also blinds us to the spiritual world. Adrian Rogers says, “I can preach truth, but only the Holy Spirit can impart truth. They may get the words, but they’ll never get the music unless the Holy Spirit of God turns the light on in their soul.” But this passage also reveals the purpose of the Savior’s birth. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Jesus came, being born of a virgin, to redeem us, to reveal the truth of God to us, and to restore us to be what God made us to be. Then, we experience the second birth. God breathes new life into us, and we become completely new creations. The Word of God and the Holy Spirit are the “parents” of our new birth. As a result, our new character mimics that of our spiritual parents. (See John 3:5.) We love the Lord Jesus Christ and have the witness of the Spirit. We have the nature of our Father and desire to share Jesus with others. Just like there is a finality in our natural birth, once we are saved, we are always saved; we receive a fresh start and begin to grow with the certainty of our miraculous rebirth. Adrian Rogers says, “A newborn child has no yesterdays; he’s all tomorrows. So it is with the new birth: we receive a brand new future; our past is in the grave of God’s forgetfulness.” Apply it to your life Do you have the markers of a twice-born believer? Do you love Jesus, have the inner witness of the Spirit? Do you have the nature of your Heavenly Father, and a desire to share the Gospel with others?
