Join Lyall Johnston in this illuminating discussion as he unpacks the profound statement by Jesus: "I will build my church." This video delves into the true nature of the church Jesus established, distinguishing it from the many "isms" and denominations prevalent today. Mr. Johnston emphasizes that the church Jesus builds is not merely a human institution but a spiritual entity called by God the Father and indwelled by the Holy Spirit.

Lyall explores two key aspects of Jesus' statement: His active role in building His church and the promise that "the gates of the grave will not prevail against it." This promise, Lyall explains, signifies the church's enduring strength and divine preservation even amidst spiritual attacks and attempts by Satan to obliterate it. Drawing from scriptures like John 17 and Isaiah 8, Mr. Johnston highlights how the church is founded on the testimony of Jesus Christ and the sealing of God's law among His disciples. He stresses the importance of loving God, keeping His commandments, and having compassion for one another as foundational principles.

The video also touches on the concept of the church as a spiritual body, connected globally by the Spirit, and our individual roles within it. Lyall Johnston examines church history through the gospels, Acts, and especially Revelation 2 and 3, offering insights into the struggles and strengths of various congregations throughout time. He encourages listeners to seek spiritual wisdom and understanding, emphasizing that true growth comes from knowing God the Father and the Son through His Word. This session powerfully reveals the unique and special relationship Christ has with His church, ultimately portraying it as the Bride of Christ, being prepared without spot or stain for His return

In this encouraging weekly fellowship message, Albert Jones explores the profound topic of divine peace and what it truly means to be reconciled with God. Have you ever wondered how to find inner comfort and a sure hope, even when facing difficult trials? Mr. Jones tackles this question head-on, guiding us through a rich tapestry of scripture to uncover the source of true, unshakable peace.

The sermon begins by examining the well-known passage in Philippians 4, which describes the "peace of God, which surpasses all understanding," establishing that this peace is meant to guard our hearts and minds. From there, Albert takes us on a journey from the Old Covenant to the New. He draws powerful parallels from Jeremiah 29, showing how God's plans have always been for "peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."

The core of this message centers on how this ultimate peace was made possible. Mr. Jones powerfully illustrates that Jesus Christ himself is our peace. By referencing key passages in Ephesians 2 and John 14, he explains how Christ broke down the "middle wall of partition," abolishing the enmity that separated us from God. Through His sacrifice, we are no longer strangers or foreigners but have been brought near and made members of the very household of God.

Join Albert Jones for this uplifting sermon and discover how the work of the Father and the Son provides a full and complete reconciliation, allowing us to walk in confidence, hope, and true peace.

In this powerful and insightful message, speaker Eduardo Elizondo unpacks the profound meaning of "the law of the spirit of life" found in Romans 8. Drawing connections to the recent observance of Pentecost and its three vital fulfillments—the giving of the law at Mount Sinai, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and the resurrection from the dead—Mr. Elizondo provides a deep understanding of what it means to be delivered from the law of sin and death.

He begins by examining Romans 7, where the Apostle Paul describes the internal struggle between delighting in God's law with the mind and serving the "law of sin" with the flesh. Eduardo explains how this "wretched man" dilemma is resolved through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This video clarifies that while we still contend with our sinful nature, we are freed from the condemnation and penalty of sin.

As you watch, you’ll learn that walking "according to the spirit" isn't just about following rules but about a continuous, maturing relationship with God, guided by the Holy Spirit. Eduardo Elizondo dives into scriptures from Galatians 5, revealing that the key to walking in the spirit is to cultivate the fruits of the spirit—love, joy, peace, kindness, and more—which are a direct result of God's Spirit working within us. He emphasizes that the law is not meant to save us but to transform us, enlightening our minds and converting our souls as we are prepared for eternal life. Join us to understand this incredible process of sanctification and what it truly means to be a servant of righteousness.

In this powerful and timely message, Durrell Brown addresses the escalating global events, urging us to find solace and strength in biblical prophecy. Mr. Brown dives deep into scripture, particularly 2 Timothy 3:1, reminding us that "in the last days perilous times shall come." He emphasizes that as God's people, we don't need to fear bad news, but rather "look up, watch, and pray."

Durrell connects current geopolitical tensions, such as the Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, to ancient prophecies, offering a unique perspective on understanding the signs of the times. He powerfully reminds us that despite the widespread "evil tidings" from politicians and economists, our hope and trust should remain in the living God. Drawing from Psalm 112, Durrell Brown highlights that the righteous "shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord."

Mr. Brown also explores the importance of continuous spiritual growth and obedience, contrasting those who "are always learning but are never able to come to the knowledge of the truth" with those blessed to have been called and chosen.

Durrell Brown's message is a profound call to remain steadfast, filled with the Holy Spirit, and equipped with the wisdom to navigate these perilous times, holding onto the unwavering hope in Jesus Christ's return.

In this insightful session, Mr. Fannin delves into the timeless wisdom found in scripture, guiding viewers through the constant spiritual battle between the flesh and the spirit. As we approach the Passover and Days of Unleavened Bread, Tom Fannin reminds us of Jesus Christ's powerful message to His disciples: "Watch and pray so that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

Drawing from Matthew, Romans, Galatians, and other biblical books, Tom intricately explains the inherent weakness of our human nature and the various "laws" at work within us – the law of sin, God's law, and the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus. He emphasizes the profound understanding God has granted us through His Spirit, enabling us to recognize and combat the internal struggle.

Mr. Fannin also addresses the external adversary, Satan the tempter, explaining how he works through cunning schemes and even through people. Tom passionately encourages listeners to stay humble, draw near to God, and utilize the "homefield advantage" of faith, highlighting the importance of resisting the devil so he will flee. He stresses the need for self-examination, acknowledging our weaknesses, and seeking God's forgiveness, reminding us that God is faithful to provide a way of escape from every temptation. Join Tom Fannin as he inspires us to build God's character and fight the good fight of faith with the help and grace readily available through Jesus Christ.Contact Us: https://www.cbcg.org/contactus.html

In this enlightening video, Michael Heiss delves into the profound question: "What's in a Name?" Specifically focusing on the name of God, Mr. Heiss guides viewers through a comprehensive biblical study, beginning with the revelation of Yahweh in the book of Exodus. He meticulously connects the divine name to concepts like God's eternal existence and His role as the Logos, emphasizing that Yahweh is not merely a title but God's very essence.

Mr. Heiss explores the distinction between God's name (Yahweh) and His titles (Elohim, El Shadai), revealing how God chose to reveal Himself as a covenant-making God through His name. A pivotal section of the video is dedicated to Exodus 34:5-7, where Michael Heiss unpacks God's attributes of mercy, graciousness, and long-suffering, clarifying misunderstandings about generational sin by cross-referencing with Ezekiel 18. Mr. Heiss explains that God punishes continued sin, not the actions of past generations in isolation.

Furthermore, Mr. Heiss draws parallels between God's nature and the description of love in 1 Corinthians 13, showing how every attribute of God—patience, kindness, truth, and unfailing love—is bound up in His name. He highlights how walking in God's name, as mentioned in Micah, means living by His commandments and attributes. The video concludes with Mr. Heiss discussing the ultimate power in the name of Jesus, presented as the "password" to the Kingdom of God and eternal life, emphasizing God's unwavering loyalty and dedication to His people. This insightful discussion from Michael Heiss offers a deeper understanding of the divine character revealed through God's name.

In this thoughtful pre-Pentecost message, Tom Fannin explores a crucial aspect of our spiritual growth: how we react when we are made angry or provoked. He frames the discussion around the biblical instruction in Ephesians 4 to "be angry, and do not sin," guiding viewers on a deep dive into what it truly means to control our spirit and honor God, even when under immense pressure.

Mr. Fannin centers his sermon on a detailed examination of Moses at the "waters of strife" from Numbers 20. He skillfully explains that Moses's critical error was not simply striking the rock instead of speaking to it, but his failure to "sanctify God" before the Israelites. Through his rash words—"Must we bring water for you out of this rock?"—Moses took credit and acted out of personal frustration rather than reverence for God's power. Using supporting scriptures from the Psalms, Mr. Fannin reveals the profound personal cost of that momentary loss of control.

Connecting this powerful Old Testament lesson to our lives today, Tom Fannin highlights the examples of Christ and the instructions of the apostles to be slow to speak, slow to anger, and to operate not in our own strength, but through the "power of Christ" that dwells in us. This sermon is a compelling reminder that as called-out first fruits, our duty is to sanctify God in all that we do, providing a practical, biblical framework for developing the meekness and reverence required of all who seek to follow in Christ's footsteps.

Transcript:

In this insightful and timely message, Lyall Johnston tackles the critical subject of "Leadership in the Body of Christ," exploring the structure and purpose of ministry as ordained by God. Mr. Johnston begins by addressing a foundational question that has caused confusion in many churches: Are there apostles in the church today? He provides a clear biblical answer, explaining that while the original human apostles were unique witnesses to Christ's resurrection, the ultimate and living Apostle and High Priest of our faith is Jesus Christ himself.

Drawing extensively from the scriptures, particularly the books of Titus, 1 Timothy, and Ephesians, Lyall Johnston carefully outlines the God-given role and qualifications of elders and ministers. He emphasizes that their primary purpose is not to seek power or control, but to serve as humble shepherds under the authority of the Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ. This service has a twofold objective: to "feed the flock" with sound doctrine from the Word of God and to "protect the flock" from the dangers of false teachers, divisive individuals, and heresies that seek to subvert whole households.

Mr. Johnston passionately explains that the ultimate reason God established elders in the church is for the "perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ." The goal is to bring all believers to a unity of faith and a mature understanding of the Son of God. This sermon is a powerful call for both leaders and congregation members to embrace their respective roles with humility, diligence, and a steadfast focus on imitating Christ, the one true Head of the Church.

Join Ray Murray in this profound exploration of a spiritual attribute absolutely essential for every believer: humility. As Mr. Murray explains, direct from New Zealand, humility is inextricably linked to conversion, and Christ Himself stated that without these qualities, seeing the Kingdom of God is impossible. Ray Murray delves deep into scripture, beginning with Matthew 18, where Jesus calls us to become as little children, emphasizing that true greatness in Heaven comes through humbling oneself.

Throughout this insightful message, Ray Murray examines key passages, including Isaiah 57, revealing how God dwells with the contrite and humble, and 2 Chronicles 7, highlighting God's promise to hear and heal when His people humble themselves and pray. Mr. Murray also powerfully contrasts humility with its destructive opposite, pride, drawing potent lessons from Ezekiel 28 (the fall of the Prince of Tyre, representing Satan's influence) and Genesis 3 (humanity's original deception through pride). Ray explores the critical 'battle for our minds' discussed in 2 Corinthians 10 and the ultimate emptiness of a life lived without God, as detailed in Ecclesiastes.

With further compelling references to Revelation 3 (the lukewarm Laodicean church) and Christ's supreme example of humility in Philippians 2, Ray Murray passionately calls listeners to sincere self-examination. This sermon is an encouragement to understand that it is God who works within us, urging a zealous repentance and the consistent adoption of a humble spirit—the very foundation for inheriting God's promises, experiencing true peace, and making what Ray calls 'the best decision.
