In this lesson, Brother Scott Smith reflects on entering a new year with a biblical understanding of trials and temptations.

Drawing heavily from James chapter 1, he will explore why trials are inevitable, how endurance is formed through faith, and how temptation works—from its roots in the heart to God’s promised way of escape through Christ. The message closes with a call to lean on Jesus, restore one another with gentleness, and move forward into the year strengthened by prayer, perseverance, and hope.

We invite our listeners to join us in this lesson and its application to our daily Christian lives.

In this lesson, Evangelist Luke Goad will discuss what Cornelius had to do in Acts 10-11.

This lesson shows how the gospel was intentionally opened to the Gentiles through the conversion of Cornelius and his household. It addresses a crucial biblical question: why a devout, moral, God-fearing man still needed to hear the gospel, believe, repent, and be baptized for the remission of sins. Along the way, it clarifies the role of grace, obedience, and the Holy Spirit, reminding us that salvation comes not from goodness alone, but from responding to God’s revealed will.

In this lesson, Evangelist Luke Goad discuss a dream found in Daniel 2 .

God revealed Nebuchadnezzar’s dream to demonstrate that earthly kingdoms rise and fall, but God alone establishes an eternal kingdom. That kingdom, fulfilled during the Roman era, is identified in the New Testament as Christ’s kingdom—the church—established with power at Pentecost and spreading throughout the world under one eternal King, Jesus. Listeners are urged to recognize the privilege and responsibility of belonging to this kingdom and to respond in faith through repentance, baptism, and faithful living.
