    $5.00$7.00
    Everyone needs hope. Without it, men are prone to despair. In this message, Wesley Strackbein explains that true hope is found in God’s eternal purpose, perfect sacrifice, and faithful promises. He also warns how hope can be lost when a culture forgets God’s work in the past. Discussing the danger of various false hopes, he offers this point of encouragement: Those caught in the mire of misplaced hope, can—when rescued by Christ—become a source of great hope to others.

  • Emily and Elisabeth Strackbein—granddaughters to Dewey Holden—have composed an original score that brings musical color to this family documentary. The soundtrack showcases a wide palette of instruments, which range from the subtle tones of the guitar to the ethnic flair of the santoor. From a simple motif that expresses the joy of family ties to a souring main theme that seeks to reflect the mighty faithfulness of God in history—all this and more is captured in this engaging musical tribute.
  • In I Corinthians 4:7, the Apostle Paul poses two pointed questions to believers: “And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?” When we consider this, how can we not be thankful? Wesley Strackbein explores this theme in depth, showing how God’s holiness, love, and immutability gives us reason for true hope.
  • Is it lawful to cremate our dead? How do you wisely deal with inlaw challenges? How do fathers who have dropped the ball get back on track in leading their families? What does the Bible says about the virtues of contentment, humility, and thankfulness, as well as the vices of pride, selfishness, and ingratitude? How can children learn to act nobly in a culture bent toward trivial pursuits? These and other important messages are explored in this collection of 12 audio sermons.

  • In this sobering yet encouraging message, Wesley Strackbein explains ten key lessons from the Parable of the Unmerciful Servant, emphasizing that, in gratitude to the great debt paid on their behalf by Christ’s great sacrifice, true Christians will be characterized by a posture of forgiveness toward those who have wronged them. Rather than demand a pound of flesh for harms done, they will show real compassion and forgive. Click here to also download the free mp3 audio message, “The Parable of the Talents”

  • In this engaging sermon, Wesley Strackbein brings out seventeen lessons from the Parable of the Talents. Among the points emphasized is that faithful servants discharge their stewardship responsibilities to God with immediacy and urgency, as well as this key lesson: that all the talents we possess are well within our capacity to rightly steward, so we must take responsibility — not make excuses — for what’s been entrusted to our care.

  • Kingdom work can be hard, but it’s also rewarding. It was this message Jesus gave in Matthew 13. Christ’s goal was to explain “kingdom realities” that His disciples would encounter in their future ministry—the good and bad: There would be a lack of abiding fruit and false professors among the brethren, yet His kingdom would eventually triumph. In this talk, Wesley Strackbein surveys Christ’s eight-parable message, urging God’s people not to grow “weary in well doing” (Gal. 6:9), but to persevere.
  • A man born for battle, John Knox was used by God to restore his native land of Scotland to greatness. As a young man, Knox wielded a two-handed broadsword as personal body to Reformer George Wishart. After Wishart’s martyrdom, he was made a galley slave before leading Scotland back to the true faith. Knox’s confrontations with Mary, Queen of Scots, personal role in translating the Geneva Bible, and much more are told in this inspirational message by Wesley Strackbein.
  • Death. Betrayal. Sickness. Abuse. Persecution. Rejection. Financial setback. Delay of hopes realized. All of these trials and more are the lot of most Christians during some point in their life. The question is: How should those who place their trust in Christ view suffering and respond during such seasons of trial? In this message, Wesley Strackbein outlines eleven key reasons God places “crooks in our lot” and gives counsel from the Scripture on how we are to patiently endure them.
  • How do you respond when you overcome hardship and achieve success? The proud man says, “Look what I have done by my own strength.” The humble man says, “Look what God has enabled me to do in my utter weakness.” In this message, Wesley Strackbein discusses how we must dispel with the prideful notion that we can “pull up ourselves by our bootstraps” and walk humbly instead, “for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble” (1 Peter 5:4-7).

    Irreverence toward Almighty God is widespread today. Christ’s name is not only taken in vain through profanity, but He’s flippantly disregarded in every sphere. What’s needed today is the “fear of the Lord,” which is “the beginning of wisdom” (Ps. 111:10; Prov. 9:10). In this message, Wesley Strackbein explains this important principle, heralding the good that will come when the fear of God is reclaimed: “By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches and honor and life” (Prov. 22:4).
  • Family life in America has been radically impacted by the Industrial Revolution. What happened to bring this about, and how should we respond? In this lecture, Wesley Strackbein shows how the Protestant work ethic led to an explosion of productivity, but how pragmatism blew men off course in their work decisions. Yet rather than glibly perpetuating wrong choices made in response to industrialization, Wesley maintains, thoughtful Christians should chart an informed, resolute course that strengthens families and furthers godly dominion.
  • Personal discipleship has been one of the most powerful shapers of history. The story of Texas is no exception. The two men most known for shaping Texas’ destiny—Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston—were personally discipled by visionary leaders who gave them key inspiration, encouragement, and opportunities which forged their character and expanded their outlook on life, explains Wesley Strackbein. Were it not for the efforts of these elder mentors, Texas would not be Texas as we know it today.
  • In this hard-hitting talk, Wesley Strackbein discusses five existential threats that will destroy a Christian’s witness: (1) Lust; (2) Peace with the World and a Passive Toleration of Idolatry; (3) The Failure of Family Discipleship; (4) Pride; and (5) Discontentment and Ingratitude. While not our culture’s hot-button “dragon battles,” our attempts to minimize these threats won’t lessen their severity. Due to their seriousness, Wesley urges believers to give these sins the “Black Flag — no quarter to the violators of our homes and firesides!”  
  • The Book of Psalms opens with these powerful words: “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly . . . but his delight is in the law of the Lord” (Psalm 1:1-2). Sadly, most Christians don’t take the time to study how God’s law is to be rightly understood and applied in their daily walk. This primer on the “Biblical Ethics of Theonomy” by William Einwechter is a great introduction to this foundational subject.
