Russell DeLong preaches on the theme 'Mastering Our Midnights,' highlighting how our attitude towards dark and challenging times can either make us stronger or weaker, better or bitter, victims or victors. Drawing from biblical references, he emphasizes the importance of mastering our midnights rather than letting them control us, using examples like the Passover in Egypt, Samson's actions, and Paul and Silas praising God in their darkest hour. DeLong contrasts night as a symbol of despair and evil with Jesus being the Light of the World, offering hope and dispelling darkness from our lives.

Favell Lee Mortimer preaches about God's divine protection over His faithful servants, showcasing how God can thwart the plans of the wicked through dreams, prayers, and discernment. Using examples from the Bible, history, and missionary work, Mortimer emphasizes how God intervenes to disperse evil schemes against His people, even when faced with imminent danger. Believers are encouraged to trust in God's providence and pray for His defense against any malicious plans formed by Satan or others, knowing that no harm can come to them if they follow what is good.

J. Wilbur Chapman preaches about the assurance and comfort found in God's protection and love, emphasizing that even in the face of shadows and death, we need not fear because God is with us. He explains that just as a shadow cannot harm us, the shadow of death cannot destroy us when we have the light of heaven shining upon us. Chapman highlights that perfect love drives out fear, and by trusting in God's love, we can overcome our fears and anxieties, finding courage and strength in His presence.

C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes that believers need not fear the various terrors that may arise during the night, such as sickness, death, or other anxieties, because God is always present as a protective and watchful guardian. He reassures that nothing happens outside of God's control, and while the world may be filled with fear, those who trust in Jesus are shielded by His mercy and love. Spurgeon warns against allowing fear to undermine faith, as it can lead to dishonoring one's profession of faith and causing doubt in others. He encourages believers to reject baseless fears and to remember that God's grace and compassion are ever-present, even in the darkest times. Ultimately, he reminds us that children of light can walk through darkness without being forsaken, as they are called to trust in their heavenly Father.
