He spent an entire night in fervent prayer before "drafting" twelve ordinary, imperfect people to change the world. In this message, we explore three ways to move from the sidelines to the game: Pray with Diligence: Discover why Jesus sought out "private closets" and mountain-tops before every major decision. Practice Discipleship: Learning that being a follower means more than just showing up—it's about daily "spiritual formation" and individual practice. Preach with Dedication: Drawing inspiration from the original Twelve, who took the message to the ends of the earth, often at the cost of their lives.

It contrasts the wicked, who complain against God and reverse morality, with the righteous, who fear the Lord and speak of Him often. Referencing Malachi 3:16-17, the speaker assures that God remembers the faithful and will claim them as His special treasure. This book is a record for eternal rewards for believers, separate from salvation, which is attained only through faith in Jesus Christ, whose name is recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/112251627218049 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 02 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Steve Harness 0:43:18 no Steve Harness - True Worship https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/1026251650594682 God notices generosity and promises to exalt those who prioritize Him with their worship and finances.

Find three ways to avoid spiritual infidelity. If teamwork makes the dream work, then married couples should catch the dream God has in mind for their marriage and work together to achieve it. The sermon, drawn from Malachi 2, confronts the spiritual adultery of God's people through the metaphor of marital unfaithfulness, illustrating how the Israelites' divorce of their wives and marriage to pagan women symbolized their deeper abandonment of God. It emphasizes that true worship requires exclusive devotion to God, warning against the idolatry of materialism, self-centeredness, and redefined morality that characterize a culture weary of God. The central call is to 'take heed to your spirit'—to daily guard one's heart, prioritize prayer and Scripture, and cultivate a genuine relationship with God, rejecting false gods and renewing covenantal faithfulness in all relationships. The message is both convicting and hopeful, urging repentance, spiritual vigilance, and intentional commitment to God's design for life and love, grounded in the truth that God is one, the Creator, and the source of all worth and purpose. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/1012251643105438 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 12 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Steve Harness 0:43:54 no Steve Harness - True Worship https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/10525181847920 The people had grown complacent in their worship.

The first, that God Is Unbelievable, or not to be believed. Genesis 3:1-5 uncovers the plot to deceive Eve by asking the question, "Has God Really Said ...". https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/32252035518179 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 02 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Steve Harness 0:47:15 no Steve Harness - The Diabolical Dilemma https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/223251843171121 The conclusion of the Psalter's fourth book (Psalm 106:47-48) shifts the focus from Israel's history of rebellion to a present-day prayer of hope and praise, confirming that broken people are healed by the Lord. The prayer, sung in exile, is a cry for the Healing of Salvation (yāšaʿ—the root of Jesus/Yeshua) and the Healing of Gathering (qābaṣ) from among the heathen (Gôy). The purpose of this gathering is fourfold: to give thanks, to be set apart, to experience triumph (soothing rest in Christ's victory), and to sing His praise. The Psalm closes with the final, eternal Doxology where the people pronounce God "Blessed" (bāraḵ—literally, to kneel), confessing that He alone is the ultimate Healer of the soul's wound, worthy of praise "from everlasting to everlasting," which all the people affirm by saying "Amen. Praise ye the LORD." https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/223251843171121 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 23 Feb 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Steve Harness 0:49:32 no Steve Harness - The Doxology of Broken People https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/215252039461033 The final verses of Psalm 106 offer a historical summary and a message of restoration, showing that broken people are offered a second chance despite their cycles of sin. The text details the consequences of Israel's rebellion, which led to God abhorring (tāʿaḇ) His own inheritance, allowing them to be ruled (māšal) and oppressed (lāḥaṣ) by their enemies as a result of their iniquity. Though God had to repeatedly deliver (nāṣal) them, the cycle of rebellion persisted. Nevertheless, the Psalm pivots to the Mercy Factor: God regarded (rāʾâ) their affliction, remembered (zāḵar) His covenant with Abraham, and repented (nāḥam)—or relented from wrath—due to the multitude of His mercies. The Psalm concludes with a final prayer for gathering and a glorious Doxology (Hālāl), calling the broken people to praise God for His everlasting goodness and covenantal loyalty, urging them to rebound to Him in confession and repentance. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/215252039461033 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 16 Feb 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Steve Harness 0:25:43 no Steve Harness - The Doxology of Broken People https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/28252348565753 This chapter highlights the inevitable consequences of both sin and righteous suffering, asserting that broken people answer to the Lord. Through a series of escalating rebellions in Israel (Psalm 106:28-39), the text illustrates the progression of sin: from spiritual infidelity and cultic immorality with Baal-peor, to the gruesome practice of child sacrifice, to the insurgency that provoked Moses into a costly act of disobedience at Meribah. The ultimate failure was insubordination—the refusal to destroy the wicked Canaanite nations as commanded, leading to mingling, learning, and serving their idols, which became a snare (môqēš) and spiritual adultery (zānâ). To move from sin to righteousness, the believer must apply course correction through decisive intervention (like Phinehas), earnest intercession (like Moses and Aaron), and diligent introspection (self-examination) to ensure their life aligns with God's will before the day of final account. Please pray, give, and participate in the life of the church. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/28252348565753 Religion & Spirituality Sat, 08 Feb 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Steve Harness 0:29:07 no Steve Harness - The Doxology of Broken People https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/2325335215474 🚶 The Doxology of Broken People: Obedience and Disbelief This section addresses the tragic failure of the Israelites to enter the Promised Land, emphasizing that broken people obey as an outflow of true faith. The sin was a progression beginning with disbelief of God's Word, leading them to despise (māʾas) the "pleasant land" (ḥemeḏ) by focusing on the giants rather than God's power. Their faithlessness escalated into murmuring (rāḡan) and national mutiny, culminating in a refusal to "hearken not" (šāmaʿ or Shema) to the voice of the Lord—refusing to hear with the intent to obey. The consequence was severe: God swore that the entire disbelieving generation would perish (nāp̄al) and be overthrown in the wilderness, with a future warning of national scattering (zārâ). For believers today, obedience flows from accepting God's gift (salvation), believing God's Word, affirming God's will, and listening for God's voice with an intent to act, mirroring the faith of Caleb and Joshua. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/2325335215474 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 02 Feb 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Steve Harness 0:41:43 no Steve Harness - The Doxology of Broken People https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/12625171224877 This passage confronts the profound sin of idolatry, a tendency to exchange (mûr) the invisible, eternal glory (kāḇôḏ) of the living God for a visible, tangible substitute, as Israel did with the Golden Calf at Mount Horeb. Their sin was a deliberate act of forgetfulness of God their Savior (yěšûʿâ) and His miraculous works in Egypt. In response to God's fierce wrath, the narrative pivots to the power of intercession (Psalm 106:23). Moses stood "in the breach" (pereṣ), placing himself between God and the wicked nation. His prayer is a model for broken people, as he appealed not to the people's merit, but entirely to God's Power, Prestige, and Covenant Promise. As a result, the LORD "repented" (nāḥam), demonstrating the profound truth that prayer can move God and is the means by which the story of broken people is redeemed. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/12625171224877 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 26 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Steve Harness 0:48:02 no Steve Harness - The Doxology of Broken People https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/119251630446494 The Doxology of Broken People: The Discipline of Waiting This study focuses on the discipline of waiting on the Lord as a daily challenge for broken people, contrasting it with the endemic modern sin of impatience. Using the history of Israel in the wilderness (Psalm 106:13-18), the text identifies the root causes of impatience as forgetfulness of God's past works and unchecked lust or intense craving (taʾăvāh taʾăvāh). This selfish desire leads to spiritual leanness (rāzôn) even when the demand is granted. Furthermore, envy (qānāʾ) of others' positions, as seen in the rebellion of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, drives impatience and demands. The severe judgment God brought upon the rebels serves as a warning that submission to God's timing is critical. To successfully wait on God, broken people must remember the past (be reflective), remain in the present (be content), and rely on God's counsel (be intentional) through His Word and prayer. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/119251630446494 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 19 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Steve Harness 0:46:48 no Steve Harness - The Doxology of Broken People https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/112251619252664 This chapter of The Doxology of Broken People shifts focus from the initial call to praise to the absolute necessity of belief, even after salvation. Using Psalm 106 as a mirror, the text chronicles Israel's immediate failure to sustain faith following the miraculous deliverance at the Red Sea, a failure rooted in a chosen forgetfulness and lack of spiritual understanding. Despite their rebellion, God saved them for His own "name's sake" (reputation and covenant promise) and to display His mighty power (gĕbūrāh). The deliverance was an act of redemption (pādāh), buying them back from the enemy, which temporarily confirmed their belief (āman). The lesson for "broken people" is that a believing heart is maintained by actively and consciously remembering His salvation, recalling His power, and reflecting on His redemption daily to prevent the sin of forgetfulness. *Error: God told Moses to tell Pharoah he was lifted up for this moment in history to demonstrate God's power; Exodus 9:16 is not about God lifting up Moses as misrepresented in this message. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/112251619252664 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 12 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Steve Harness 0:43:44 no Steve Harness - The Doxology of Broken People https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/1525163347343 he text introduces the concept of "The Doxology of Broken People," asserting that humanity is universally broken and in need of Jesus Christ, but is nonetheless called to praise God. A doxology, from the Greek doxa (glory/praise) and logia (word), is a word of praise offered to God. This theme is embodied in the Book of Psalms, a "songbook for the broken." Specifically, Psalm 106 is highlighted as a Historical Psalm and an example of national repentance that begins with praise for God's eternal goodness and mercy (ḥesed). It calls for a life that gives thanks, takes responsibility for sin, and looks for God daily by rejoicing in the corporate worship and goodness of His people. The Psalmist's confession of failure is paired with a profound, Christ-centered prayer for Salvation (Yeshûʿāh), recognizing that hope is found not in human effort but in Christ alone. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/1525163347343 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 05 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Steve Harness 0:39:47 no Steve Harness - The Doxology of Broken People https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/1229241631144662 Through the Christmas season, focus is typically on the birth of Christ.

Paul commands leaders to "constantly affirm" the trustworthy message of salvation to ensure good works are always the fruit of faith, thereby preventing both legalism and the view that works are unnecessary (antinomianism). Believers are called to be "careful to maintain good works," meaning their devotion must be intentional, diligent, and active in all areas of life. This dedication to good deeds is both "good and profitable" because it is intrinsically beautiful (Kalos) as evidence of faith and externally beneficial (Ophelimos) to the community, fulfilling the divine purpose for which believers were saved. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/101324152016586 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 13 Oct 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Steve Harness 0:45:32 no Steve Harness - The Good Life https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/10824156538113 The Christian is called to run the race of life with joy.

It first mandates Christians to be model citizens—submissive to authority, ready for service, and exhibiting gentleness and courtesy toward all people, avoiding slander and quarreling. This conduct is driven by the humble remembrance of our past depravity (being foolish, disobedient, and enslaved to passions). The theological pivot then highlights that salvation is entirely by God's mercy, not by any works of righteousness we have done, achieved through the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit. Because God's kindness has delivered us and justified us by His grace, we are compelled to reflect that love and goodness back into the world as good citizens. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/10624159254391 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 06 Oct 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Steve Harness 0:44:48 no Steve Harness - The Good Life https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/10124154495168 With all the education, accomplishments, and life experiences of the Apostle Paul, he lets the reader know he has not arrived.

Paul asserts that the appearance of "the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men" (Titus 2:11) is the true and complete basis for Christian living, not human effort. This saving grace has a two-fold purpose: it is didactic (it teaches), instructing believers to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts; and it is motivating (it drives), training us to live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present world as we await the "blessed hope"—the glorious return of Jesus Christ. The chapter emphasizes that Christ's sacrificial death was for the specific purpose of redeeming us from all lawlessness and purifying a people for himself who are "zealous of good works" (Titus 2:14), thus directly connecting God's divine action to the believer's practical, ethical living. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/929241510193591 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 29 Sep 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Steve Harness 0:41:15 no Steve Harness - The Good Life https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/922241525405064 This message shifts the focus of the Good Life from personal character to discipleship, establishing that faith is a collaborative effort built on mutual mentorship and the application of sound doctrine to daily life. Paul instructs Titus to "speak thou the things which become sound doctrine" and then model how those truths apply to every demographic in the church. This intergenerational mentorship is detailed across three groups: Men, where older men are called to be patterns of stability (sober, grave, temperate) and to exhort young men to be sober-minded and models of good works; Women, where older women are to exhibit holiness (not slanderers or enslaved to wine) and teach younger women domestic and relational virtues (to love their husbands and children, be discreet, and keepers at home) so "the word of God be not blasphemed;" and Workers (employees), who are to be obedient, well-pleasing, and faithful to their employers to "adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour." The chapter emphasizes that believers must engage in this relational triangle—having a mentor (Paul), an accountability partner (Barnabas), and a mentee (Timothy)—to ensure that sound doctrine is consistently lived out and passed on to the next generation. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/922241525405064 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 22 Sep 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Steve Harness 0:45:28 no Steve Harness - The Good Life https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/918241311316676 In session 2 of Membership Matters discover the importance of Joy. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/918241311316676 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 18 Sep 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Steve Harness 0:23:43 no Steve Harness - MEMBERSHIP MATTERS https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/918241323212114 We are new in Christ, with a new ID and new purpose!

Paul warns Titus about unruly, vain talkers and deceivers motivated by "filthy lucre" (greedy gain) who spread false doctrine and subvert whole households, summarizing their condition as having unruly and vain minds, corrupt minds, and finally, reprobate minds—meaning they are disqualified from true good works because their deeds deny their profession of faith. The core issue is diagnosed as a defiled conscience, where the entire perspective of unbelievers is stained by evil thinking, contrasting with the purity of the Christian's mind cleansed by Christ. To cultivate a sound (healthy) mind, believers are instructed to Practice Rebuking Lies "sharply" with sound doctrine to restore spiritual health, and to Practice Renewing Your Mind by replacing the world's empty thoughts with God's truth, thus proving the will of God and protecting the mind with the "helmet of salvation." https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/91524153549240 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 15 Sep 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Steve Harness 0:41:51 no Steve Harness - The Good Life https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/9824152341583 Following the establishment of "good preaching" as the foundation of the good life, this message shifts focus to the character of the messenger, outlining the strict qualifications Paul gave Titus for ordaining elders (or bishops/pastors) to lead the burgeoning churches on Crete. Paul's blueprint for ministry emphasizes that the effectiveness of the message is directly tied to the integrity of the man; thus, the chosen leader must possess four key attributes. These include Real Skill (administrative ability to "set in order" the lacking aspects of the ministry), a Respectable Home (a model family life where he is "the husband of one wife" with faithful, well-guided children), Responsible Character (a trustworthy disposition, being sober, just, holy, and hospitable while avoiding anger, greed, and self-will), and finally, Reliable Doctrine (intellectual integrity to "hold fast the faithful word" so he can both exhort his people and convince those who contradict the truth). The chapter concludes that the Good Life is built on good preaching, which can only flow from a good man who meets these challenging, God-ordained standards. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/9824152341583 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 08 Sep 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Steve Harness 0:42:19 no Steve Harness - The Good Life https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/91241525385660 This message introduces the idea of the Christian life as a "good life," mirroring the realization of George Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life that his life had profound value. The foundation for this concept is drawn from the Book of Titus, a brief but powerful pastoral letter from the Apostle Paul to a young leader, where the word "good" is used extensively to describe the standard for every dimension of Christian conduct, from individual character and family life to work and politics. Before one can live well, the chapter asserts, one must first be taught well, establishing the first pillar of the good life as "good preaching." This preaching, defined by the Greek word kērýgma (meaning the message itself, not the act), is the God-ordained channel for making visible and clear the revelation of God's Word to the world, and it must fulfill three vital roles: communicating God's Word through good teaching, revealing God's plan for salvation (being evangelistic), and being essential for faith, as it is the means by which people hear and believe the message of Christ. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/91241525385660 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Sep 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Steve Harness 0:45:25 no Steve Harness - The Good Life https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/wiltonbaptist/sermons/82724141194892 WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU REALIZE YOU HAVE BELIEVED THE WRONG THINGS???
