• Pride and Perversion, Part 1 (2 Peter 2:10-13)
    Feb 1 2026

    Jim Osman returns to 2 Peter 2 with a hard-hitting examination of false teachers and their defining characteristics. In verses 10-13, Peter paints a vivid portrait of those who infiltrate the church with destructive heresies, and Osman carefully unpacks what makes these teachers so dangerous. The passage reveals three striking indicators of their pride: they are insolent in their blasphemy of spiritual beings, irrational like animals driven by instinct, and ignorant of the very subjects they claim to master. Osman draws sobering parallels to modern movements within evangelicalism—from female preachers who defy biblical teaching roles to charismatic "demon slayers" who mock spiritual authorities with reckless presumption. He explains why even holy angels refuse to revile fallen demons, yet these false teachers rush in where angels fear to tread. The message includes practical guidance on identifying these teachers by their specific behaviors and attitudes, showing how Scripture equips believers to mark and avoid those who would lead them astray. Osman's exposition demonstrates that false teachers are not difficult to spot when measured against Peter's clear biblical criteria.

  • Four Petitions for the Work of the Word (Psalm 119:33-40)
    Jan 25 2026

    Jim Osman guides listeners through Psalm 119:33-40, revealing four essential prayers every believer should bring before God regarding His Word. This isn't merely an intellectual exercise—it's a roadmap for spiritual transformation through Scripture. Osman unpacks how the psalmist longed for God to grant understanding that leads to obedience, not just head knowledge. He challenges listeners to pray for hearts genuinely inclined toward Scripture rather than worldly gain.

    The sermon addresses a crucial tension: our eyes naturally drift toward worthless distractions while our hearts chase empty profits. Osman demonstrates how the Word cultivates genuine fear of God, turning believers from vanity toward what truly gives life. He confronts the reality that many Christians survive on one spiritual meal per week when a daily feast awaits them in Scripture.

    This message closes with two pointed challenges: commit to regular, systematic Bible reading, and for men, recognize that spiritual leadership begins with personal time in God's Word. Transformation doesn't happen by accident—it requires dependence on God's work through Scripture combined with diligent pursuit of His truth.

  • A Flood And A Fire (2 Peter 2:5-6)
    Jan 11 2026

    Jim Osman delivers a powerful exposition examining A Flood And A Fire as two notorious Old Testament judgments that demonstrate God's righteous character. Drawing from 2 Peter 2:5-6, Osman explores how the global flood of Noah's day and the fiery destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah serve as historical evidence of divine justice against sin. A Flood And A Fire reveals that these judgments were historic, global, cataclysmic, just, and yet spared the righteous—Noah with seven others and Lot respectively. The teaching demonstrates that these destructions were not cleverly devised fables but actual historical events intended as examples for those who would thereafter live ungodly lives. Osman emphasizes that God's past judgments validate His future promises, warning that while current judgment is delayed, it is certain—next time not by water but by fire as Second Peter 3 promises.

  • Lessons From Judgment and Deliverance (2 Peter 2:4-10)
    Jan 4 2026

    Jim Osman examines how judgment and deliverance work together throughout biblical history. Peter uses three powerful examples of judgment and deliverance: the angels who sinned, the flood of Noah, and Sodom and Gomorrah. These historical accounts demonstrate God's consistent pattern of executing judgment while delivering the righteous. Through judgment and deliverance, believers learn that God has a proven track record of punishing wickedness and rescuing those who trust Him. Understanding these examples of judgment and deliverance encourages Christians to live righteously while confidently expecting both God's coming judgment on the wicked and His gracious deliverance of the faithful.

    David Forsyth explores Moses' timeless pattern for prayer found in Psalm 90, revealing three essential elements for believers facing adversity and sorrow. This pattern for prayer begins by centering hope in God's eternal nature as our sovereign creator and refuge. Moses then guides us to consider our mortality honestly, acknowledging both life's brevity and God's righteous anger toward sin. Finally, this biblical pattern for prayer calls us to pray with courage—asking for wisdom to number our days, relief from affliction through the promised resurrection, and meaning in our work as we await Christ's return and the restoration of all things.

  • Unto Us Is Born A Savior (Isaiah 61:1-2)
    Dec 25 2025

    Jim Osman delivers a powerful exposition of Isaiah 61:1-2, exploring the prophetic announcement that unto us is born a Savior who would bring deliverance from sin. This Christmas message examines how Jesus perfectly fulfilled Isaiah's prophecy, demonstrating that he was born a Savior anointed by the Spirit to proclaim good news to the afflicted and liberty to captives.

    Osman carefully traces how Christ's mission centers on preaching the gospel of salvation by Yahweh's grace rather than political liberation or social reform. The teaching emphasizes that Jesus was uniquely born a Savior—sent to heal the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom to prisoners of sin, and announce the favorable year of the Lord. Through meticulous exegesis, Osman shows how this passage reveals the Savior's divine commission, his Spirit-empowered ministry, and the good news of redemption he came to proclaim.

    This exposition demonstrates that Christ was born a Savior specifically to accomplish spiritual salvation, fulfilling Old Testament scripture and bringing hope to those enslaved by sin through the transforming power of God's grace.

  • Unto Us Is Born A Sacrifice (Isaiah 52:13-53:12)
    Dec 21 2025

    Jim Osman delivers a powerful exposition of Isaiah 52:13-53:12, examining the prophetic portrait of the Messiah who was born a sacrifice for humanity's sin. This message explores the dual nature of Christ's mission—living and dying as a man while simultaneously living and dying for men as their substitutionary sacrifice. Osman traces the biographical pattern revealed in Isaiah's prophecy: Christ's pre-existent glory, his humiliation through suffering and death, and his ultimate exaltation.


    The teaching emphasizes that Jesus was born a sacrifice, destined from eternity to bear the iniquities of many and make intercession for transgressors. Through careful exegesis, Osman demonstrates how Isaiah prophesied the Servant's physical suffering, the marring of his appearance beyond recognition, and his voluntary submission to God's will. This Christmas message reveals that Christ was uniquely born a sacrifice—not merely to live among us, but to die for us, accomplishing the redemption that only a perfect, sinless substitute could achieve for guilty sinners.
