Whatever opinion you have of government, there is one undeniable truth: Government, at any level, is full of bureaucracy and red tape.

Unlike human government, Messiah’s government needs no bureaucracy to function and is free from red tape. Scripture tells us He shoulders His government all by Himself, thus requiring no cabinet or support staff.

And…while every human government is temporary, Messiah’s is everlasting.

The Mighty God is not just a God of order. He has the power to create order. The Mighty God is the one who, at the creation of the heavens and the earth, brought order out of chaos…but didn't stop there.

Our world and our lives are often chaotic. Christ Jesus, the Messiah, the Mighty God, still loves to step into the chaos of our world and display his divine power by bringing order to our chaos.

In his Christmas prophesy, the prophet Isaiah gives us four unique features that make Messiah's kingdom different from any power on earth. In the first, "Wonderful Counselor," we find that in Messiah's kingdom there is no confusion. Christ is not only the source of all truth. He is also the ultimate and only answer to all the world's confusion.

On Sunday, November 23, Clarksburg Baptist Church hosted a special all-church Thanksgiving Celebration Service to give thanks for all that God is doing in our church family and in our lives. Listen to this special guest testimony from Joshua Lawson, sharing how Clarksburg Baptist Church impacted his life.

Believers and non-believers are very much alike on the outside. In other words, if you lined up 25 random people, it would probably be difficult to tell the believers from the non-believers, simply based on outward appearance. The only way the world is going to know the difference is if we, the believers, let the inside out. Listen to this message, as we explore how to do exactly that.

Although there is certainly a great deal of mystery associated with God the Father, Christians can usually get a handle on the concept of a loving creator who sustains us. We also find joy and comfort in God the Son, Jesus Christ, who is our savior and friend. However, for many, it is a different story with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit scares us to death.

Why is that? Could it have something to do with the fact that the Holy Spirit is unpredictable, and allowing ourselves to be DRIVEN by Him makes us unpredictable too?

Listen to this message and find out why unpredictability is a tremendously fun and exciting part of being DRIVEN by the Holy Spirit.

Someone who is "driven" has an urgency about them and a determination to succeed. Throughout the history of Clarksburg Baptist Church, seemingly ordinary people have been driven to do some pretty extraordinary things. How is this possible? Well, it all depends on who is doing the driving.

It has been said that "comfort" is a state of mental security. Some of the benefits of that particular state are regular happiness, low anxiety, predictability, and reduced stress. "Why on earth," you ask, "would anyone want to MOVE BEYOND that?" Listen to this message and discover why followers of Christ are called to do just that and what great benefits await those who do so.

There is a great need in the church, today, for investors. The church needs people willing to invest their time, energy, finances, talents, personality, wisdom, and experience to build the church and the Kingdom of God. Many, however, find it difficult to MOVE BEYOND being a consumer to being an investor.

Listen to this message and find help and encouragement in taking this important step in your walk of faith.

In conflict situations, whether with children, or in homes, or in communities, or in the church, you often hear the phrase, "I wish everyone could just get along." While it sounds good and well-intentioned, is it really what the Bible teaches?

Listen to this message and learn how to MOVE BEYOND just getting along to what God really intends for us to do.
