”But God”, Part 2

June 20, 2021 AM, Various.In this message guest speaker Pastor John O'Dell leads our study on the Apostle Paul preaching to pagan people in Athens and hits some of the basic fundamental truths of our Christian faith. As we welcome fathers day, we focus on the absolute necessity for fathers to instill these truths into our children. With the evil in this world, it is critical that fathers take this role with all seriousness and urgency. Christians must be well versed in the bible. We also study on how Paul evangelized to the people of Athens, where Paul started from creation, the general revelation of God. When evangelizing Jews, he started from the OT. Additionally, we study in verse twenty-six that all men are equal in God's sight since all came from one man, Adam.
Our Scripture reading was found in Isaiah 60:1-22.

”But God”

June 20, 2021 SS, Romans 1:18-32.In this message guest speaker Pastor John O'Dell reminds believers that we must have an urgency to share the gospel with nonbelievers. We reflect on America being founded with Christian roots as noted in the Declaration of Independence. However, in these more recent years in Americas history we see an ungodly spiritual battle with man forsaking God and turning to their own lusts and desires. We are told by Christ to be watchmen and to be prepared for His return. Until the rapture takes place God commands believers be prepared and rather not ashamed of His return. The tribulation appears to be rapidly approaching, so Christians ought to be motivated with urgency, to witness to others the need of His salvation, repentance of ours sins, and trust and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Ruth’s Redemption Assured, Part 4

June 16, 2021 PM, Ruth 4:6-17.In tonight's message pastoral intern Jansen Lorch leads our continued study in the book of Ruth. It was God's plan that Boaz redeemed Naomi's land and Ruth's marital union. Naomi, once empty, is renewed with a fullness; Ruth, once a widow, is married, most importantly, the Lord has prepared Christ's line of descent in David, through Boaz and Obed, back to Judah to fulfill the proper messianic lineage.

Critical Race Theory, Part 2

June 13, 2021 PM, Various.There is hardly a need at the present time to justify a Christian thinking through the CRT / wokeness mess that is currently all the rage. We have to analyze it from a Biblical standpoint, and recognize the danger of this pre-planned assault not only on Christian values, but on the principles that have underpinned our Republic for hundreds of years. I knew it was past time to address the issue when I got these
questions through our website: 1) Is Fellowship Bible Church (FBC) affiliated with the New Apostolic Reformation (modern day apostles/prophets, 7 mountain mandate)? ? The Seven Mountain Mandate is a post-millennial, Pentecostal/charismatic dominion theology where the church is supposed to take over the pillars of society and then once the kingdom is established on earth, then Christ will return. 2) Is FBC a "woke" church? Do you espouse Critical Race Theory? ? Absolutely not. FBC is not woke, and we reject CRT. We are going to look at why we do that in these notes.
Our Scripture reading was found in Isaiah 59:1-21.

Ministry of the Qualified Elder

June 13, 2021 AM, Titus 1:10-16.The pastor has a monumental job—yet what has been considered
above is not all his work. There is even more. As far as stopping up
false teaching, that is a thankless task. Rarely will the minister be
appreciated by those he is trying to rescue from eternal
damnation, or those he is trying to correct because they have
some wrong thinking. Even rarer still would be a thanks from a
false teacher who comes to his senses and abandons the empty
profession of God in favor of the genuine faith.
Dear ones, let us be diligent to pay attention to what we are “giving
heed to” in these days. Much needs to be rejected, and a whole lot
needs to be ignored entirely so that we can focus on what matters.
Our Scripture reading was found in Isaiah 58:1-14.

Earthly Treasures, Part 2

June 9. 2021 PM, Matthew 6:22-34.We continue our study in the sixth book of Matthew, focused on the teachings of Jesus on treasures. Christians are called to not seek earthly treasures but rather heavenly treasures. Jesus speaks about the natural decay of belongings, belongings that cannot be taken with you when you physically die. Jesus states to place their hope in Christ and His promises alone. We also focused on Jesus' words on the lamp of the body is the eye, in which He referred to a persons superficial earthly religion as having a stained heart of darkness. Additionally, Christians are called to serve God rather than mammon (money). We also focused on Christ's words on not worrying, but rather trust in Christ that he will provide for our necessities. God knows what we have need of, Christians are called to put our faith in Christ and lift up our prayer requests to Him.

Earthly Treasures

June 6, 2021 PM, Matthew 6:19-21.In tonight's message Pastor Matt Postiff discusses the topic of storing up treasures. A Christian is commanded by God to not store up treasures on earth but rather store up in heaven! Earthly treasures cannot be taken with you and will eventually decay to dust eventually anyways. Focus on God's Word and store up for yourselves heavenly treasures, whatever they may be, which last forever and ever! "Wherever your treasure is there your heart will be also."
Our Scripture reading was found in Isaiah 57:1-21.

Qualified Elders

June 6, 2021 AM, Titus 1:5-9.Paul gave Titus a very clear job description—to set the churches of
Crete in order. They needed good pastors who were devoted to
healthy teaching that comes directly from the Bible. And that is
what is needed by every church, and every Christian, in every
generation. We never “get over” these requirements for pastors or
the teaching/exhorting/convicting type of ministry.
Our Scripture reading was found in Isaiah 56:1-12.

The Lord’s Table: God’s Blessings on Believers’

June 6, 2021 SS, Psalm 103.This morning we honor Christ through communion thanking the Lord for all His blessings he has so bountifully provided. Our Scripture reading was found in Psalms 103 where we studied twenty blessings God gives His people to those who love Him.
