Successfully Sifted

05/17/23 • 24 min

Today, we will hear a message from pastor Joe Reed of Lewis Lake Covenant Church about the time when God allowed Peter to be sifted by Satan, but Jesus prayed for him.
Pastor Joe explains what sifting means in the Christian life and that although it is a difficult process, it results in our good and our becoming more like Christ. In fact, it is something all Christians go through. His message is from Luke 22:31-32

Is Life Vain? Lessons from Ecclesiastes

Welcome to Unfamous, the podcast where unfamous pastors preach the fame of God. Our show is about listening to local, reformed pastors who minister to small congregations, but they faithfully exposit the Word and preach from the Scriptures. These unfamous pastors are unknown to basically everyone but their own congregation, so I want to introduce them to you.
Today, Pastor Levi Secord shares with us what he has learned from an in-depth study of the book of Ecclesiastes. Ecclesiastes is an often misunderstood and often ignored book of the Bible because it can be so difficult to understand.
In our message today, Pastor Levi teaches us how to understand rightly, and he gives some pastoral application for our lives.

The Stoney Heart - Ezekiel 36:26-27

Today, we are going to hear from our administrative pastor at Cross Pointe, Jared Johnson. He is currently attending Midwestern Seminary, and he is preaching on one of his favorite passages of Scripture, Ezekiel 36, and the stoney heart.
When you think of the gift of salvation, it is truly a miracle, that once we were lost but now we are found. Once, we were dead, but now we are made alive. When we think of the gift of salvation, it should make us truly grateful and humbled that God would remove our dead, stoney hearts and give us a heart that beats for him.
I once heard a story about a seminary professor who took his students to a graveyard and had them preach to the people in the graves. The students wondered why he would have them do such a thing, and he replied that this is what preaching is like. People are dead in sin, and it is only God, through his word, that can make them alive.
Today, Pastor Jared explains how God saves those who are dead in sin.
