Voices from the Mountain

Brother Bobby Winton – 
In this deeply personal and Spirit‑filled message, Brother Bobby Winton shares how the Lord pursued him through years of deception, near‑death experiences, and seasons of backsliding until the night he was truly born again. Preaching from John 3 and the story of Nicodemus, he warns that church attendance, religious motions, and even ministry roles cannot replace the genuine new birth. He recounts his coal‑mine accident, the conviction that followed, the years he spent thinking he was saved, and the moment in 1998 when he finally surrendered fully to Christ and rose from the altar knowing—beyond doubt—that he had been born again. With urgency and gratitude, he calls listeners to examine themselves, to stop relying on feelings or formality, and to make sure they know they’ve been born again, because nothing else will do.

In this revival sermon, the preacher follows the Spirit’s prompting to 1 John and unfolds the theme of being made clean through the blood of Jesus Christ, reminding listeners that all humanity is born into sin, blinded by darkness, and unable to see the evidence of God’s goodness until the light of the gospel shines into the heart. Drawing from 1 John, John 12, 2 Corinthians 4, Romans 8, and the parable of the prodigal son, he shows how Christ alone is our Advocate and our propitiation—how His blood is not about quantity but divine quality, fully sufficient to cleanse every sin. With urgency and compassion, he calls believers to stop living under condemnation, to lay down the guilt of their past, and to embrace the truth that when God clothes His children in Christ’s righteousness, He sees them as clean, forgiven, and free.

In this revival message, the preacher challenges believers with the question, “Will you be a Barnabas?”—a quiet but powerful figure in Scripture whose name means “son of consolation,” a man who added strength, comfort, and courage to others. Drawing from Acts 4, Acts 9, Acts 13, and Acts 15, he shows how Barnabas sacrificed his own belongings for the early church, stood beside Paul when no one else trusted him, and later defended John Mark when Paul refused to take him—an act of selfless loyalty that eventually restored Mark to usefulness in the ministry. Through vivid storytelling, humor, and heartfelt exhortation, the sermon calls listeners to become that kind of encourager: someone willing to give, to stand with the brethren, to lift up the fallen, and to play a quiet but eternal role in someone else’s walk with God.
 

In this message, the preacher reflects on Paul’s declaration in 2 Timothy 4—“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith”—and builds a stirring call to endurance, reminding listeners that the only true “time to quit” is when we cross the finish line into eternity. Drawing from Paul’s transformation from persecutor to apostle, the spiritual warfare believers face, the midnight praise of Paul and Silas, and the hope of the third heaven, he urges Christians not to lay down their weapons in discouragement but to stand, pray, and continue. Through vivid stories—like the field preacher who preached until his candle burned out and the childhood memory of longing for home until his family arrived—the sermon anchors the truth that Christ will come, and until then, there is no quitting place for God’s people.

Brother John Ross Jones preached from Acts 17 with a clear call for the church to return to the Scriptures, reminding us that Paul’s “manner” was to go straight into the synagogue and reason with people about Jesus—not with psychology, entertainment, or flesh‑pleasing substitutes, but with the pure Word of God. He warned that the modern church is drowning in counterfeits, especially the glowing screens that steal our attention, distort our relationships, and quietly replace the true light of Christ with a false one. He urged believers to be set apart, sanctified by truth, and awakened to the distractions that keep us from prayer, from relationship with Jesus, and from seeing God move. Through testimony, conviction, and the story of a young man saved that very day, he reminded the congregation that revival begins when God’s people desire Him more than the world, obey His Spirit, and let the Word do the work.

Brother Bobby Winton preached with fire about the goodness of Jesus, reminding us that salvation is a free gift found only at the foot of the cross, a gift that changes a person from the inside out and pulls them out of the world’s grip. He warned that today’s church has grown too busy, too distracted, and too prayerless, and that the devil uses that busyness to keep believers looking down instead of looking up. Using Luke 11, he emphasized that real prayer is learned, practiced, and lived—prayer that pulls you out of the world’s atmosphere and into God’s presence, prayer that keeps you strong when the enemy whispers lies, prayer that sanctifies and separates God’s people from the world. With humor, honesty, and conviction, he called the church to slow down, seek God, get back to the altar, and rediscover the power that once moved in brush arbors and still moves today when God’s people truly pray.

Pastor Jesse Lockhart preached from Haggai 1, reminding the church how Israel returned from seventy years of captivity with joy, rebuilding the temple foundation until the enemy rose up and fear stopped the work. He explained that the devil always moves when God’s people start moving, trying to rob joy, stall momentum, and quietly erode spiritual strength “little by little,” just like a sinkhole forming beneath a road. Through Haggai’s rebuke—“Consider your ways”—Pastor Jesse warned that God’s house had been neglected while everyone focused on their own, and the result was emptiness, frustration, and drought. But when Zerubbabel, Joshua, and the remnant obeyed God’s word, the Lord stirred their spirits and promised, “I am with you.” Pastor Jesse urged the church not to fold at the devil’s first “boo,” not to panic at the news, and not to abandon what they know is right, but to rise up, rebuild, and keep moving for God even when they don’t feel like it—because heaven moves when God’s people move.

Pastor Jesse Lockhart preached with deep joy about the hope believers have through the blood of Jesus Christ, reminding the church that salvation is far more than a feeling—it is the eternal confidence that sins are forgiven, names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and a resurrection hope awaits. Reading from Hebrews 9, he contrasted the powerless rituals of the old tabernacle with the perfect, once‑for‑all sacrifice of Christ, explaining that our own righteousness is nothing but “filthy rags,” and only the blood can make us clean. Pastor Jesse then moved to Exodus 12, showing how the Passover lamb’s blood on the doorposts separated God’s people, shielded them from judgment, and caused death to “pass over,” just as Christ—the true Firstborn—died in our place. He emphasized that staying “behind the blood” is the only safety in a chaotic world, and that the covering not only hides sin but sets believers free. With the urgency of a pastor who knows the times, he reminded the church that joy comes in the morning for those who remain under the blood until the Lord returns.

In this Sunday School lesson, the teacher walks the class back through 1 Peter 3, reminding everyone that in a fast‑paced world designed to keep believers distracted, we must stay spiritually awake and ready. He emphasizes that “the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous” and that although evil may look successful for a season, God’s face is against those who do wrong, and their reward will come. Believers, however, may suffer for righteousness’ sake, yet Scripture says “happy are ye,” urging the church not to fear what people may do or say. He stresses the need for separation, backbone, and consistency—living in such a way that no one can confuse a Christian with the world. The class is reminded that every believer must personally seek the Word, be ready to give an answer for the hope within them, and share that hope with meekness, not pride. The lesson closes by turning to Hebrews 11, teaching that faith is trusting what we cannot see, believing God’s Word, and living differently because of it.
