Pastor Rudie preached on Ephesians 5:15–16, urging believers to “redeem the time” by living awake, wise, Spirit-filled, and fully surrendered to God. He warned against procrastination and presumption, calling Christians to take responsibility for each day, serve faithfully in God’s house, share His Word, and walk in His will for the glory that lasts forever.

Pastor Rudie’s sermon reminded believers that the Christian walk must reflect God’s light in a dark world. When we live godly lives, our light reproves the darkness, raises the spiritually dead through our witness, and redeems the time by seizing every opportunity to serve Christ faithfully. It was a strong call to walk wisely, live purely, and shine brightly for the Lord.

Pastor Rudie’s sermon contrasted the darkness of sinful living with the brightness of a life transformed by Christ. He warned against impurity, crude speech, and covetous desires that are unfitting for believers, emphasizing that those who live in darkness cannot please God. Instead, he urged believers to walk as children of light—bearing the fruit of goodness, righteousness, and truth—and to test every action and word by asking, “Is this pleasing to the Lord?”

Pastor Rudie’s sermon focused on how believers are called to cast off sinful habits and replace them with Christlike virtues through the power of the Holy Spirit. He identified four areas of transformation: replacing lying with truth, anger with self-control, stealing with honest labor, and corrupt speech with words that build up others. The message emphasized that true change comes from the Spirit’s control, leading to kindness, compassion, and forgiveness that reflect God’s grace.

Evangelist Brent Sivnksty

Pastor Rudie’s sermon warned that life without Christ is empty and ultimately leads to destruction. He explained that unbelievers live in mental darkness, emotional hardness, and moral deadness—blind to truth, numb to sin, and enslaved to corruption. Yet, he reminded us that the gospel of Jesus Christ brings light, love, and new life to all who believe

Pastor Rudie’s sermon from Ephesians 4:11–12 emphasized that God has gifted His church with leaders—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—for the purpose of building up the body of Christ. The apostles and prophets laid the foundation through the inspired Word, evangelists continue reaching souls today, and pastors-teachers feed, lead, and guard the flock. Ultimately, every believer is called to serve, as the pastor equips the saints for ministry and the whole church grows through faithful service.

Pastor Rudie’s sermon reminded us that every believer has at least one spiritual gift, graciously given by Christ through the Holy Spirit. He highlighted how Jesus, our victorious Lord, ascended after conquering sin, Satan, and death, and gave gifts to His people for the building up of the church. The apostles and prophets laid the foundation through God’s Word, and now we are called to use our gifts for the good of others and the glory of God.

Missionary Josh Stewart shared an update on his ministry in Taiwan, reflecting both challenges and encouragements. For years, outreach seemed fruitless, but God has recently worked in powerful ways—elderly parents coming to Christ before passing, younger believers like Ren and others committing to church life, and even salvations in a rough nursing home. He asked for prayer for new leaders, faithful young people, and perseverance in proclaiming God’s Word, reminding us through Naboth’s story in 1 Kings 21 that even small, costly acts of obedience bring eternal significance and point us to Christ.

Pastor Rudie preached from Ephesians 4 on walking worthy of our calling through unity, which requires humility. He illustrated the Christian life as a steady, purposeful walk—not a sprint—marked by set purpose, sustained progress, and strong perseverance. He warned that pride destroys unity, bringing shame, apathy, blindness, strife, and even God’s opposition, while humility—modeled perfectly by Christ—draws God’s grace, fosters love, and strengthens the church’s witness.

Pastor Rob preached a powerful message urging the church not to settle for spiritual survival but to pursue genuine revival. Drawing from Paul’s exhortation to Timothy, he called believers to stir up the gifts God has placed within them, reignite personal passion for Christ, and humble themselves before the Lord. Revival, Rob declared, begins not with programs or crowds but with a faithful remnant who seek God's face daily and boldly believe He can breathe life into what seems dead.

Pastor Rob’s first sermon in the Faithful in the Fallow series reminded the church that they are not forgotten but are God's preserved remnant by grace. Drawing from Romans 11 and Revelation 3, he called believers to wake up spiritually, remain faithful, and be ready for what God still wants to do. The message challenged the church not to settle for survival, but to live with holy purpose.#FaithfulInTheFallow #RevivingTheRemnant #StandFirm #Romans11 #Revelation3 #FaithBaptistDanville #PastorRob #GodIsNotDone

Pastor Rudie reminded us that God is always on time and faithful to His promises, even when we don't understand His timing or plan. Using Genesis 21 and Galatians 4, he taught that “Ishmaels”—those fleshly, self-made decisions—must be cast out of our lives if we are to be totally committed to God. True joy, spiritual effectiveness, and a life that glorifies Christ only come when we surrender everything and live under His management, no matter the personal cost.#TotalCommitment #FaithfulGod #CastOutIshmael #AbrahamAndIsaac #FaithOverFlesh #LivingForJesus #ChristianDiscipleship #PreachingTruth #DanvilleFaithBaptist #PastorRudie

Pastor Al Rudie preached from Ephesians 3:14–16, highlighting Paul's powerful prison prayer and the transforming perspective that comes from seeing our earthly trials through a heavenly lens. He emphasized the humility of true prayer, the intimate access believers have to God the Father, and the deep spiritual strength that comes not from ourselves but from the indwelling Holy Spirit. Believers are not only to know who they are in Christ but to become who God has called them to be through His power working in the inner man.

Pastor Rudie’s sermon focused on the mystery of the church that was once hidden but now revealed—that both Jews and Gentiles are united in Christ through the gospel. He emphasized that every believer is called to be a servant, sharing the unsearchable riches of Christ with others, empowered by God’s grace and strength. The message challenged believers not to hide this truth but to boldly proclaim the gospel, remembering that God chooses humble, dependent people to accomplish His work.#TheUnsearchableRiches #Ephesians3 #GospelMission #GraceAndPower #ChristAlone #ChurchUnity #FaithfulWitness #ServantsOfChrist
