Treasures the Heart Cannot Lose
2w ago00:27:59Tap to summarizeWelcome to the Preached Word. In Matthew 6:19–21, Jesus goes straight to the thing that tells the truth about ourselves, namely, what we treasure. This sermon by Dr. Frank Walker follows that searching word into the heart, asking not merely where we keep our valuables, but who, finally, holds us.

3w ago00:28:13Tap to summarizeWelcome to the Preached Word. Solomon's command in Proverbs 4:23 — "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life" — cuts straight to the source of everything we say, do, and love, which is precisely why we are so reluctant to take it seriously. In this sermon, Dr. Frank Walker shows us that this command is not a burden to crush us but a grace-given call, made possible only because Jesus kept his heart perfectly in our place and now guards ours by his Spirit.

3w ago00:27:57Tap to summarizeWelcome to the Preached Word. Proverbs 3:5–6 may be among the most quoted verses in the Bible, but familiarity has a way of turning living truth into décor — something to cross-stitch rather than to live by. In this sermon, Dr. Frank Walker recovers the radical claim these verses actually make, showing us that their three commands and one promise find their perfect fulfillment not in our striving but in Jesus Christ himself.
Transcribe →The Life I Now Live
3w ago00:28:34Tap to summarizeWelcome to the Preached Word. Galatians 2:20 is one of those rare verses that dismantles everything we assume about ourselves and rebuilds it entirely on the person and work of Jesus Christ — his death, his resurrection, his love, and his indwelling life by the Spirit. In this sermon, Dr. Frank Walker walks us through Paul's compressed, almost breathless confession of what it means to be crucified with Christ and yet be truly, newly alive.
Transcribe →How to Treasure God's Word
Mar 2300:30:24Tap to summarizeWelcome to The Preached Word, where we explore the depths of Scripture to the glory of the eternal Son of God. In this podcast, Dr. Frank Walker helps us delve into Psalm 119:11 to discover how hiding the written Word in our hearts is the divinely-given means of communion with the living Word, Jesus Christ. Join us as we learn how to treasure God’s truth as our primary defense against sin and our ultimate source of hope in a fallen world.
Transcribe →The Superlative Prayer-Answering Power of God
Feb 1900:26:11Tap to summarizeWelcome to The Preached Word podcast. Today, Dr. Frank Walker opens Ephesians 3:20–21 to show us that God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we could ever ask or imagine, and the most amazing thing is that he uses the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. Settle in as we discover why understanding the superlative prayer-answering power of God should drive us to our knees with greater boldness, frequency, and faith.
Transcribe →God's Grace in the Church's Life
Nov 2800:16:56Tap to summarizeWelcome to The Preached Word. In today's message from 1 Thessalonians 5:25–28, we explore a seemingly disconnected series of commands—a request for prayer, an exhortation to greet, a solemn charge to read the epistle, and a final benediction. Join us as we discover the rich, unifying theme of The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, which not only connects these duties but makes the Christian life and all our service possible.
Transcribe →God's Call for Us to Give Thanks
Nov 2600:29:14Tap to summarizeWelcome to The Preached Word. Today, we delve into the shortest chapter of the Bible, Psalm 117, to discover the believer's enduring duty to praise the Lord. Dr. Frank Walker will unpack how this psalm not only establishes our call to worship but also prophetically grounds the church's worldwide missionary endeavor in the greatness of God's covenantal love and his unchanging truth.
Transcribe →Paul's Apostolic Blessing
Nov 2400:18:17Tap to summarizeWelcome to The Preached Word. Today, we turn to Paul's first written benediction, which we find in 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, to uncover the glorious, sovereign work of God's grace. We'll clear away theological fog to understand how the God of peace himself sanctifies and preserves the whole believer, standing against the errors of sinless perfectionism and trichotomy, all by the faithfulness and perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ.
Transcribe →Testing Prophecies
Nov 2100:06:50Tap to summarizeToday on The Preached Word, we turn our attention to 1 Thessalonians 5:19-22, a passage often misinterpreted in the modern church regarding spiritual gifts. We will carefully examine Paul's command not to "quench the Spirit" or "despise prophecies," grounding our understanding in careful exegesis and the broader context of God's Word. Join us as we seek the true meaning of testing all things and holding fast to sound doctrine, essential marks of a faithful Christian.
