Book of Jude, Part 4

July 17, 2022 SS, Jude.In this message speaker James Widgeon leads our new study in the book of Jude. In this study, we see how Jesus warned of false prophets that would arise, how peoples hearts would grow cold, and how only those who kept the faith in Jesus Christ would be saved.

Your King is Here

July 13, 2022 PM, Matthew 21:1-11.Some in Jerusalem recognized Jesus as their coming King. Others were clueless. All this took place on “Palm Sunday,” and it could even be
as specifically pinpointed as Nisan 9 in A.D. 30. See the
prophecy of Daniel 9:24-26 which gives us warrant to
speak with such precision. Given this, the people and the
leaders should have been expecting Him. If only they had
known… (Luke 19:42).

The Blind Receive Their Sight

July 10, 2022 PM, Matthew 20:29-34.Has Jesus shown compassion toward you?
Did you have faith to be given your sight?
From what blindness has the Lord delivered you?
Do you now follow Him?
Our Scripture reading was found in 2 Chronicles 17:1-19.

Jonah Preaches and Nineveh Repents

July 10, 2022 AM, Jonah 3:1-10.Therefore “today is the day of salvation” (2 Cor. 6:2) because a day is coming for every person when God will declare that enough is enough. Years of opportunity to recognize our need of God’s forgiveness will come to an end. But be assured that if you repent, you will find as the Ninevites did that God is compassionate and gracious. He is not a mean deity whatsoever. We are getting closer to the message of Jonah. The book was not written primarily to provide an illustration for Jesus to use about His death and resurrection, although it serves that purpose. It was not written primarily about the Ninevites. It has something to do with Jonah and his understanding of God. The repentance of Nineveh happened in those individuals alive at the time. It did not transfer to future generations. Each generation must do its own repentance.
Our Scripture reading was in Ezekiel 42:1-20.

Book of Jude, Part 3

July 10, 2022 SS, Jude.In this message speaker James Widgeon leads our new study in the book of Jude. In this first study, we see how Jude warned of false prophets that would arise, how people's hearts would grow cold, and how only those who kept the faith in Jesus Christ would be saved.

A Mom’s Desire

July 6, 2022 PM, Matthew 20:20-28.In what way are you like James and John, or their mother, or the
other disciples?
Do you have a “I want greatness” mindset? It can masquerade as
an “I love attention” way of thinking. Or, “I love the limelight,”
or “I like standing in front of a group of people and talking.” Or,
“I want his job,” or “where I am at in life is not good enough for
me.” This is much different than a “How can I help you?”
attitude.
Is there an area of your life, or a person in your life, that calls forth
the kind of service the Lord is talking about?
Do you live for self or for others?
Is there a way you can serve the body of Christ in a better way?

Lord’s Table Service: Suffering, Death, and Resurrection of Christ

July 3, 2022 PM, Matthew 20:17-19 / Luke 9:44-45.Think! Do not bumble through life ignoring God and His
word. It is critical that you keep this information in
mind—that Christ died for your sins according to the
Scriptures—and according to His prophecy—and rose
again from the dead.
I am so grateful for that. Now, what to do about that? Well,
one thing is to celebrate the Lord’s Table as a solemn but
also joyful remembrance. With a “joyful grief” at what
the Lord has done, let us partake.
Our Scripture reading was found in 2 Chronicles 16:1-14.

Baptism Service: Jonah in the Fish

July 3, 2022 AM, Jonah 2:1-10.God did indeed rescue Jonah. He commanded the fish as only God
can do. Just like He prepared the fish (1:17) and sent the storm
(1:4), God is sovereign ruler of all things. Jonah had to experience
one final unpleasant situation, but undoubtedly, he was glad for
it—being vomited out of the fish. He had a few other
consequences to deal with for some days, like needing a serious
bath, food, sleep, etc. At least he was back in “the land of the
living.” He would have another chance to obey God. Following this mornings message, we were delighted to see three of our youth become baptized! Praise the Lord!

The Parable of the Vineyard Workers, Part 2

June 29, 2022 PM, Matthew 20:1-16.Dear friends, we have a great God. If we are still sitting in the marketplace waiting to be hired, we need to take up the standing offer of employment by God Himself. And then, no matter how long we have been "working" for God (living for Him), we need to keep on until the end of the day, no matter how hot and sweaty we might be. And we should thank Him all the while!
