• Romans 14:1-12 - Cultivating Unity in the Garden of the Church

  Pastor Partridge returns to expository preaching in Romans 14, emphasizing how believers should relate to one another over non-essential matters like dietary laws and religious holidays. Using the metaphor of the church as a garden, not a factory, he urges the congregation to embrace charity, humility, and liberty. He warns against judging or imposing secondary doctrines on others, especially those new to the faith, and highlights the need for grace, patience, and spiritual maturity. The sermon underscores that Christian unity is not uniformity, and that growth in doctrine takes time and discernment.

• Perusing Christ: The Path to True Joy

  In his sermon, Elder Clarke explores the nature of true and everlasting joy as found only in Christ, contrasting it with the fleeting, conditional happiness the world offers. He opens by sharing a personal story of grief and anger after losing a close friend to addiction, illustrating how pain and loss can rob even believers of joy until they learn to “grieve with hope” in God’s presence . Elder Clarke then asks why so many Christians experience conditional joy, offering three core reasons: We don’t love Christ – Joy is a byproduct of pursuing Christ, not a goal in itself. True joy abides in God’s presence (Psalm 16:11) and requires repentance and abiding in the Vine (John 15) . We don’t hate the world – Good things (career, family, entertainment) can become idols that displace Christ, squeezing out joy (1 John 2:15–17; Luke 10:41–42) . We don’t remember – Believers are prone to forget God’s past faithfulness (Psalm 106:7; Deut. 6:12), so we need practices that keep our hearts anchored in joy. To combat forgetfulness and sustain joy, Elder Clarke outlines seven “means of grace” that serve as spiritual road-signs: Prayer – Cultivates daily dependence on God Corporate Worship – Weekly gathering to rejoice together The Sacraments – Baptism and the Lord’s Supper as tangible reminders of Christ’s work Fellowship – Deep, loving relationships that bear one another’s burdens Obedience – Keeping Christ’s commands out of love, which leads to full joy (John 15:10–11) Evangelism – Sharing the gospel and recalling the joy of salvation Family Worship – Regular devotions that cultivate joy in the home Elder Clarke closes by urging listeners to integrate these practices into a “liturgical life,” ensuring that joy remains full-time, unshaken by trials, and contagious to others.

• Part 7: Powerful Christianity that Fights Islam

  In the final message of his seven-part eschatology series, Pastor Partridge takes doctrine to daily practice, showing how a postmillennial outlook fuels bold, hope-filled Christian engagement. He identifies three key areas of confidence: 1. Evangelism: Grounded in the promise that Abraham’s “offspring” includes all believers (Gen. 22:17–18; Rom. 9:6–8; Gal. 3:7–9), Christians can expect the church to swell to uncountable numbers and entrust their gospel witness with optimism rather than pessimism. 2. Righteous Cities: Because the “zeal of the Lord” guarantees the growth of Christ’s just and peaceful kingdom (Isa. 9:6–7; 42:1–4; Ps. 2:9), believers should work confidently for godly influence in their communities—from school boards to city councils—knowing their efforts are part of God’s unfolding plan. 3. Church Victories: Anchored in promises like “the gates of hell shall not prevail” (Matt. 16:18), the church can face even formidable foes—historically and today—with the assurance that Christ’s reign will ultimately triumph. Throughout, Pastor Partridge contrasts this active, optimistic faith with more defeatist eschatologies, urging a return to a Bible-wide, Genesis-to-Revelation view that sees Christ’s kingdom expanding now through the faithful witness and work of his people.

• Part 6: Postmillennialism in the Old Testament

  Pastor Partridge explores how the Old Testament’s promises—beginning with the Proto-Evangelium in Genesis 3—foreshadow the decisive victory of Christ and His church. Tracing three key motifs—the Serpent Crusher (Genesis 3:15), the Nation Saver (Genesis 12:3; Psalm 2), and the Dominion Taker (Genesis 1:28; Matthew 28:18–20)—he argues that Jesus’ first coming inaugurated a cosmic shift from inevitable decline to progressive flourishing. Rather than awaiting a distant future kingdom, Christians live already in the inaugurated reign of King Jesus, called to proclaim and extend His authority over all nations and spheres of life until His final consummation.

• Part 5: An Introduction to Partial Preterism #3

  In this fifth sermon on eschatology, Pastor Dale Partridge unpacks the doctrine of partial preterism, showing how many of Jesus’ prophetic warnings in Matthew 24 were fulfilled in the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. He explains how understanding the context, culture, and apocalyptic language of Scripture offers Christians clarity, hope, and motivation for the present. Rather than anticipating defeat, believers can move forward with confidence, knowing that Christ's kingdom is advancing and that the gates of hell will not prevail against His Church. This message emphasizes the victory of the gospel across generations and calls the Church to live boldly in faith and action.
