Voices from the Mountain

This midweek message unfolds Isaiah’s parable of the vineyard, showing how God fenced, cleared, planted, protected, and prepared His people with every intention of producing good fruit, yet they brought forth wild, poisonous grapes through rejection of Jesus and refusal to walk in His way. Brother Jesse warns that modern society is deeply religious yet spiritually blind, embracing God and even “a Christ” while rejecting Jesus’ actual path of obedience, repentance, and self-denial. He urges believers to be doers of the Word, to guard against false doctrine and emotional deception, to cling to Scripture as settled truth, and to recognize that rejecting Jesus—His way, His commands, His authority—is what destroys nations, churches, and souls.

Jesse Lockhart – 5‑10‑26 (PM) — Podcast Summary
In this message from Isaiah 53, Brother Jesse lifts up the suffering Savior—despised, rejected, wounded, bruised, and silent before His accusers—reminding the church that Jesus bore griefs, carried sorrows, and died for the sins of the people. He focuses on the question, “Who shall declare His generation?” calling believers to boldly tell the story of Jesus in a world growing dangerously close to a generation that no longer knows Him. Through the example of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch, he shows that the gospel must be declared with conviction, anointing, and personal testimony, urging the church not to hold its peace but to sow, water, and trust God for the increase as they proclaim Christ to a lost and fading world.

In this message Brother Jesse walks through Joshua 7 to show how hidden sin destroys victory, explaining that Israel’s defeat at Ai wasn’t a military failure but a spiritual one—Achan had taken the forbidden garment, silver, and gold, burying them in his tent, and what one man hid brought judgment on the whole camp. He warns that when joy, peace, and power disappear, “something is wrong somewhere,” because sin always separates, always weakens, always steals the strength God gives His people. Using the fall of Adam, the regret of bad choices, and the danger of justifying “small sins,” he urges listeners to search their hearts, uncover what’s buried, and remove the accursed thing before “tomorrow”—the day of judgment—arrives, reminding us that God will not bless, empower, or fight for a people who cling to what He has forbidden.

Brother Jesse Lockhart preached from Hebrews 2 on the urgent call to “give the more earnest heed” to the Word we’ve heard, reminding us that God has spoken in these last days through His Son, whose first message was the simple but eternal command: repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand. He warned how easily our distracted minds let truth slip away, how prayer and conviction fade when we don’t meditate on Scripture, and how the voice of Jesus—unlike any other—first spoke to each of us in salvation, saying plainly, “you’re lost.” Through examples of the centurion, the nobleman, and the astonished officers who declared “never man spake like this man,” he urged us not to let God’s words fall to the ground but to treasure them, think long on them, and respond while He is speaking, because the privilege of hearing the Word of God is too great to take lightly.

Pastor Jesse preaches from Revelation 2 on the church of Pergamos, showing how Christ—pictured as the sharp two‑edged sword—both commends and confronts His people, calling them out of compromise, worldliness, and the doctrines that dilute holiness. He warns that the enemy conquers by blending truth with error, and that unrepentant sin becomes a serpent’s bite that poisons worship, fellowship, and spiritual freedom unless it is shaken off into the fire of repentance. With pastoral weight, he presses the Lord’s ultimatum—“repent or else”—and reminds believers that overcoming brings hidden manna, a white stone of innocence, and a new name known only to God. It is a call to holiness, separation, and daily dying to self so the church can walk clean, free, and victorious before the Lord.

Brother Bill preaches with urgency about the universal truth that every person has walked a path toward destruction, yet no one has gone too far for the saving power of Jesus Christ. Using the story of Nicodemus coming to Jesus by night, he challenges listeners to stop hiding in the dark and step boldly into the light where salvation, fellowship, and freedom are found. He reminds the church that heaven gave its very best—Christ’s full and perfect sacrifice—and that salvation is for the “whosoever,” no matter their past, their failures, or their excuses. With testimony, conviction, and compassion, he calls people to stop waiting, stop sitting in the shadows, and come to the One who still saves, still answers prayer, and still breaks chains today.

In this message, Brother John walks the congregation through Psalm 23 as a living picture of the redeemed, showing how the Good Shepherd leads, protects, corrects, restores, and carries His people through green pastures, still waters, deep valleys, and fiery trials. He paints salvation as a complete transformation—where the believer stops chasing the world and begins following the Shepherd who knows every danger, every wolf in disguise, every valley where the soil is rich and the water runs deep. He reminds the church that grace and goodness follow the redeemed like two angels, teaching, strengthening, and providing through every temptation, every mountain, and every moment of need until the Shepherd finally says, “Well done,” and leads His child safely across the river into the house of the Lord forever.

May 1 – Stay With Jesus (Psalm 73)
Brother John closes the revival by urging the church—young and old—to stay with Jesus no matter what, using Psalm 73 to show how easily believers can stumble when they focus on the world’s prosperity or life’s injustices. Asaph’s journey from confusion to clarity mirrors the believer’s path: looking at them leads to envy, looking at self leads to discouragement, but looking at God restores understanding and strength. Brother John reminds the congregation that suffering, confusion, and unanswered questions are part of the Christian walk, but God is always present, guiding His people by the hand, and that revival comes when believers draw near, trust His eternal perspective, and walk with Him hand in hand.

April 30 – Conditions for Entering the City (Revelation 22)
Preaching from the final chapter of Scripture, Brother John declares that heaven is real, glorious, and available—but only to those who meet the conditions God has set through Jesus Christ. He warns that a day is coming when the unjust will remain unjust and the righteous remain righteous, with no more chances to repent, and stresses that human nature cannot make itself holy—only Christ can. He explains that God gives every person the opportunity to choose, but that rejecting Christ is choosing eternal separation, while accepting Him grants access to the tree of life and entrance through the gates of the city. The message ends with an urgent call: today is the day of salvation, and Jesus is coming quickly.
