Lyrics:

Apples of gold 
That’s what we long for
In settings of silver 
This nothing more
A word just in time 
Brings truth to bear
Brings forth the best 
That can be brought forth             
It is beauty so rare

Wisdom to the minds of men
Taken into their hearts
Wisdom for the poor in spirit
Who know just who they are

Wisdom from the only wise God
True light for every soul 
Grant us all we need dear Father
Grant to us apples of gold

Apples of gold 
Words spoken well
They bring a healing 
Unto the soul
A word from the wise 
The fruit of one’s life
The wisdom of God 
Through human hearts
A sacred prize

Wisdom to the minds of men
Taken into their hearts
Wisdom for the poor in spirit
Who know just who they are

Wisdom from the only wise God
True light for every soul 
Grant us all we need dear Father
Grant to us apples of gold 
God grant us apples of gold

Christmas Present - Will Brocker 12-24-2023

- Convicted more now than ever? Is your salvation sealed? We question this. Most important difficult topic. We are sealed by the Holy Spirit. (Eph.4: 28-32) Have the Word in your heart of hearts. 
-Peter's day- Pharisee mindset being faithful to procedures and not the Father. Jesus said salvation is a gift of God by grace. Foundation of the Word may not be emphasized today. Social media instead of foundation of Good News. Fractured beliefs. People say God understands. We get heartbroken when we aren't pleasing to the Lord. Begins with a repentant, sorrowful heart accepting His sacrifice.
- Gal 5:19-21- sin and no kingdom. Matt. 7:19-no fruit= fire.
- Job lessons. Sustainment of His children through His actions. God honored Job's sacrifices for his children. Job obeyed. 
-Structured walk through Word of God is restoration. Opportunity for completeness. 
-Forgiveness required for salvation. Love for those that wronged you. God forgives for the sake of His Son.
-Moses nearly blew it failing to circumcise his son. Wife set him straight.
-Look to the Lord and let Him sort folks out. Look for good in others.
- Lesson on focus in hammering a nail. We assume we're giving it enough attention. 
- 24 time dream panning out. 
- 3IAtlas alternatives from Avi Loeb. Exotic comet? Standard object? Probe?Tracking shows it won't hit Earth. Likely been here before. Came from an event. Where from, how fast, purposed trajectory, what with it? 
- Iniquity marks harvest. Massive immorality. Falling away. We will be secured and separated.
- Some preachers haven't spoken about the times coming, so they can't when it does come. Trying to align with the world. - Christians should compliment each other rather than having doctrinal differences.
-20 hostages in Israel? Maybe 5.... Mideast going to escalate. Nukes will be used. US stability will be compromised geologically. Iranian death due to differing ideologies. There are Christians REALLY having to endure. 
- A time of sensing distresses. 
-Triangle of death on your face. From base of nose to top of mouth. Pimples there can be lethal from bacteria to brain. Painful, fast death. US falls into same scenario. 
-Entire country coming back and being revealed again.
-Pattern- 2015- attacks of talk of Christ. Excuses to hate. Dem/Rep have caused a division of church.
- US- not so much the beacon on the hill anymore. Smaller, we will help fight the beast.
- Antibiotics in dogs' tongues is 50% less now.
- US intercedes for the world. Nations are fragile.
- Binary twin- Will add mass to our light. Will cause increased heat, gravity. Too late when seen
-ISIS isn't gone.

08 22 2025  America and the Calling - Salvation Sealed? Dream Review

Reformation Sunday: Salvation by Grace Through Faith Alone unto Works.

What happens when the gospel crosses cultural barriers that seem impossible to overcome? In Acts 8:5-24, we witness Philip stepping into Samaria—a region Jews actively avoided due to centuries of hostility—and proclaiming Christ with boldness. This wasn't just a geographical move; it was a radical act of obedience that shattered deep-seated prejudices and demonstrated the universal reach of the gospel.

As Philip preaches about the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, we see God work in miraculous power. Demons are cast out, people are healed, and an entire city erupts in rejoicing. But the story takes an unexpected turn when Simon, a man formerly known as "the great power of God" for his magic arts, believes and is baptized—only to reveal that his heart isn't truly right before God.

Simon's attempt to purchase the power of the Holy Spirit with money exposes a dangerous misunderstanding of the gospel. Peter's sharp rebuke—"May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money"—reminds us that salvation cannot be earned, manipulated, or bought. It has already been purchased by something far more precious than silver or gold: the blood of Christ.

This sermon challenges us on two fronts: First, are we willing to cross barriers with the gospel? Are there people in our lives we complain about rather than evangelize? Second, are we treating God's gift transactionally—as if religious activity could earn His favor—or are we receiving salvation with empty hands, offering only praise and thanksgiving?

The early church didn't wait for persecution to drive them across cultural lines. They went boldly, empowered by the Holy Spirit, proclaiming Christ to people who were once considered enemies. Their example calls us to examine our own hearts and ask whether we're crossing barriers or hiding behind them.
