Send us Fan Mail
The sermon argues for the biblically proper observance of Christian sacraments, specifically baptism and the Lord's Supper, by prioritizing Scripture over church tradition.

A revisit to the prophet's preaching in light of the New Testament, Romans 9.

Ultimately, the central theme is that Christian holiness requires diligent...
Three Righteous Men and Judgment
Send us Fan Mail
The sermon examines Ezekiel 14 to demonstrate that personal righteousness cannot save others, using Noah, Daniel, and Job as examples of individuals who could only rescue themselves from divine judgment. This Old Testament truth is paralleled by Romans 1, which describes God's wrath against those who suppress the truth and exchange it for idolatry. The preacher emphasizes that faith is an individual responsibility rather than a hereditary or corporate inheritance, warning against the stubbornness of the human heart in clinging to sin despite witnessing judgment.

Idolatry of the Heart

Whitewashed Walls
Send us Fan Mail
This podcast exposes the danger of false prophets who invent messages from their own imagination rather than receiving divine revelation. Using the metaphor of whitewashing cracks in a wall, it illustrates how superficial religious language masks spiritual decay and leads people into destruction. The text contrasts these deceivers with Jesus' warning in Matthew 7 that true faith is evidenced by obedience to God's will, not merely outward religious performance. It emphasizes that God's judgment will inevitably expose the foundation of such falsehoods, leaving no room for deception. Believers are urged to test all teachings...
The Danger of Delayed Judgment
Send us Fan Mail
A second meditation on Ezekiel 12-14. The sermon examines the spiritual danger of mistaking God's patience for indifference, drawing primarily from Ezekiel 12 and 2 Peter 3. It addresses two common proverbs used to dismiss divine warnings: that visions fail because days pass slowly, or that judgment is too distant to matter today. The speaker explains that while delay serves as a time for repentance, it ultimately leads to complacency and contempt if it is not heeded. By connecting Old Testament prophecy with New Testament teaching, the message emphasizes that God's timing is sovereign and His...

Eyes That Refused to See
Send us Fan Mail
In Ezekiel 12, God diagnoses Israel not with an inability to see, but with a refusal to look. God had Ezekiel pack his bags and dig through a wall in broad daylight as a living sermon of incoming judgment. Yet, the people still turned a blind eye. Various opponents meet his street Act and explanation: the people's proverbs of indifference, the false prophets with their made-up visions, and the elders who come with idols in their hearts. Are you ignoring something God has plainly spoken in His Word? Today, ask Him for eyes that...

The narrative highlights the transition from general fellowship to specific...
God and His Earthly Temple

In today's episode, we sit beside Ezekiel on the banks of a canal. It is his 30th year, and it should be a day of celebration as he begins his active role as a priest.

How Does the Church Worship?
Send us Fan Mail
This sermon explores the nature of Christian worship through the lens of Ephesians, emphasizing that true worship is a Spirit-filled, communal act rather than a private experience.

The Fact and Marks of the Church
Send us Fan Mail
The message defines the church as the visible earthly presence and body of the risen Christ, emphasizing its central role in God's redemptive plan rather than viewing it as an optional institution.

Every Christian is called to bear witness to who Jesus is and what he has accomplished by his death, burial, and resurrection from the dead for those who believe in Him and confess him. 1 Corinthians 15:1-8, Romans 10:4-13. We are to witness to him by using his Word recorded in the promise in the Law, the prophets, and the psalms, and how Jesus fulfilled them as the Messiah as recorded in the New Testament. Examples are given in Acts 5, 7, and 8 of Peter, Stephen and Philip doing as Christ commanded in Luke 24:44-49.

A Trinity Sunday exposition of John 14 from Good Shepherd Church.

Ascension of Jesus in Revelation
Send us Fan Mail
The sermon presents the ascension of Jesus Christ as a historical event with a profound theological revelation of His ongoing sovereignty, victory, and intercession in heaven. Through visions in the Book of Revelation, Jesus is portrayed as the exalted Lamb, the faithful witness, and the King of kings, seated at God’s throne, triumphing over evil through His sacrificial death and resurrection. These images—of the ascended Christ among the lampstands, the slain yet victorious Lamb, and the rider on the white horse—affirm that Christ’s ascension secures the church’s protection, establishe...

The sermon calls for a renewed reverence and biblical fidelity in the observance of the Lord's Supper, emphasizing its central role in Christian worship. Drawing from the Gospels, Paul’s letters, and the early church’s practice in Acts, it affirms that the Supper is not a peripheral ritual but a profound act of remembrance, communion, and proclamation of Christ’s sacrifice, meant to be celebrated frequently—ideally weekly—and at the heart of corporate worship. The preacher warns against diminishing the Supper through infrequent observance, mechanical or individual...

What if skipping church isn't just a personal choice — but a quiet unraveling of your faith?
In this thought-provoking episode, Wayne Conrad challenges one of the most common habits of modern Christianity: the slow drift away from gathered worship. With a pastor's warmth and a theologian's precision, he dismantles comfortable excuses — "I can worship God on the golf course," "I connect with God better on my own" — and replaces them with a compelling, scripture-rooted case for why community isn't op...

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the central message of the Christian gospel, especially in the Book of Acts. The apostles consistently proclaimed not only Christ’s death for sins but His bodily resurrection as the decisive proof that He is Lord and Messiah. They supported this message through eyewitness testimony, fulfillment of Old Testament Scripture, and the present power of the Holy Spirit working among them. This resurrection empowered their bold preaching despite persecution, brought thousands to faith, and confirmed both the promise of salvation and the reality of coming judgment. The pr...

Was the sacrifice of Jesus a "down payment" for salvation, or did it pay the debt in full? In this episode of Bible Insights, Wayne Conrad explores the profound relationship between the Old Testament Day of Atonement and its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ.
By comparing the "shadow" found in Leviticus 16 with the "substance" revealed in Hebrews 9, we examine how Jesus alone embodies the work typified by the two goats. We also dive into a theological contrast between the Reformed evangelical...
