Jude July 10, 2022 SS.

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.

Matthew 20:20-28 July 6, 2022 PM.

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?

Matthew 20:17-19 / Luke 9:44-45 July 3, 2022 PM.

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.

Jonah 2:1-10 July 3, 2022 AM.

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!

Matthew 20:1-16 June 29, 2022 PM.

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!

In this message Pastor Matt leads tonight's service addressing this question: "What are your thoughts about how we are to think scripturally about our second amendment rights?

Jonah 1:11-17 June 26, 2022 AM.

The sailors were already afraid because of the great storm that was

upon them (1:5). To their credit, they became even more afraid

after Jonah told them about his connection to the LORD who

created the sea and land. They understood that Jonah was the

cause of the danger to their lives, and their loss of goods that they

just threw overboard.

Remember we ended last time by noting that the sailors asked Jonah

why he ran from God? He was not a murderer or some other

reprobate. He was a man who knew what His God had told him to

do but did not do it. These men were incredulous because in their

own devotion to their “gods” they understood that there were

certain things you had to do, and certain ways you had to do it,

and if you violated those, you would get in trouble with that god.

Obviously this thinking is awash in pagan philosophy, but there was

enough of a conscience and the law of God still in their inner being,

placed there by God in the creation of humanity, that they knew

intuitively Jonah was doing something very dumb by disobeying

the God he professed to fear. All the events we have read about were under the direct control of

God, as is everything in this world. As difficult as things may seem

for you, remember that God is in charge.

Remember that you may have brought upon yourself some of your

situation by sinning against the Lord. Or, maybe not. But consider

this--if you are running from God in your life, and things are not

going well, you should really consider changing course before you

damage other people’s lives around you and God metaphorically

throws you overboard to straighten you up!
