Sunday Night Bible Study
Let the Race Begin
by Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh (Sep 5 2010)
Series: Hebrews
After the Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11, you can almost hear the gunshot start as the race begins to run the Christian life successfully. The record of faithful saints in chapter 11 should motivate us to imitate their faith today. What are the other elements that we have on our side according to Hebrews 12? If your feet are dragging in the Christian life, then this message will encourage you to pick up the pace for the Lord.
Recipe for Service
by Rev. Bert Arrowood (Aug 29 2010)
In order to get the desired result in cooking, one must first add the right mixture of ingredients according to the recipe. One small change in measurement or method, and the food won't taste right. In Acts 9, we find through Saul's transformation to Paul a recipe for service to God. What are the proper ingredients in this recipe? How can you and I get the desired end result of blessed life in God's work?
But Others
by Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh (Aug 15 2010)
Series: Hebrews
The Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11 is full of remarkable stories about people whom God used because of their great trust in Him. They were rewarded and favored by God for their faith. But there were others who, though they had great faith, did not have the same blessed fate. Their stories are told in the last part of Hebrews 11 and they remind us that even though we have faith, we might not receive relief and reward.
Sowing Bountifully and Reaping Bountifully
by Dr. Pat Creed (Aug 8 2010)
Series: Guest Preacher
Dr. Pat Creed preaches on Sunday night of our special Bump-Up Missions Sunday about the laws of sowing a reaping. Believers must ask what kind of return they want on their investment in the work of missions. In a sense, the laws of sowing a reaping allow us to determine how much and when God blesses us for giving to His work. Allow this message to stretch your faith-promise giving.
Faith In Spite of It All
by Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh (Aug 1 2010)
Series: Hebrews
God allows difficult circumstances to come our way for the very purpose of strengthening our faith. It is easy to have faith when everything is running smoothly. This scattering of verses in the Hall of Faith chapter convers such biblical characters as Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, and Samuel and teaches us how to have faith in spite of all we are going through.
Faith in the City
by Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh (Jul 25 2010)
Series: Hebrews
Rahab's faith literally impacted an entire city. Do you have that kind of faith that is known in your community. Many times our neighbors are not influenced by our faith, much less an entire city. This message reminds us of the great impact that strong faith in God can have and what characterizes city-changing faith.
The Price of Discipleship
by Rev. Mark Liedtke (Jul 11 2010)
On deputation to be a missionary to Belize, our Spanish Pastor, Mark Liedtke, preaches in the evening service on the price of discipleship. Giving a report on his recent trip to Belize, Pastor Liedtke ties in illustrations of discipleship. He encourages all believers to embrace their responsibility to teach others the truths of the Word of God.
Holy Moses!
by Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh (Jul 4 2010)
Series: Hebrews
We often use the term of exclamation, "Holy Moses!" Well, actually he was a very holy man of great faith, and he is described as such in Hebrews 11:23-29. This message points out 6 features of his life that we should try to emulate in our lives. God can do equally amazing things with our lives if we would simply have more faith like Moses had.
The Choices of Choosing Sin
by Bert Arrowood (Jun 27 2010)
Series: Guest Preacher
Whenever we make the choice to sin, we are choosing to suffer the consequences of our actions. Kind David chose to sin, and as Nathan the prophet rebuked him for it, several things became apparant as results of that choice. The steps that David took in choosing to sin are often paralleled in our lives.
A Slave to Righteousness
by Rev. Greg Powell (Jun 20 2010)
Series: I Really Want to Change
Many Christians know they need to change something in their life to become more like Christ. Usually that means being dead to that sin and repenting of your ways. But what is next? When the Bible says that we should consider ourselves dead to sin, is that the end of our sanctification? In Romans 6, Paul encourages the positive response of presenting yourself alive unto God as a slave to righteousness.
