In this message Dr. Mark Snoeberger leads our study in the book of Titus, chapter two. We see that sound doctrine is for older men, older women, younger women, young men, and bond servants reflects the duty of everyone in the church. We also see how God's sovereign purpose in calling out elders and in commanding His people to live righteously to provide the witness that brings God's plan and purpose of salvation to fulfillment.

Our Scripture reading was found in Titus 1:1-2:10.

In this message Pastor Matt leads our continued study through the book of Matthew, chapter 11. The Jewish leaders thought themselves as wise and prudent whereas the followers of Jesus Christ were like children. Yet we see that God revealed Himself to those who believed in Him. We see Jesus' powerful affirmation that He is the sovereign God, where Christ claimed that the task of executing the divine will had been committed to Him. Jesus provides an open invitation to all who hear - but phrased in such a way that the only ones who will respond to the invitation are those who are burdened by their own spiritual bankruptcy and the weight of trying to save themselves by keeping the law.

John had his doubts, and needed confirmation for his weary and depressed soul. But entire cities full of people refused to receive Jesus's teaching. They wanted no change. The cities actually saw the works of Christ as well—the same ones John's messengers saw—and did not care about the implications of those works for their spiritual lives.

Herod had rendered his verdict on John: perhaps a prophet, but worthy of prison for declaring God's will about marriage. The crowds agreed that John was a prophet. Jesus explains that John is the greatest person ever born. He explains further that neither he nor John were accepted by Israel, despite their vastly different approaches to ministry. The leaders and people were simply implacable.

Our Scripture reading was in 1 Chronicles 15:1-29.

In this message, we learn about John the Baptist's imprisonment, and see the effect of it on his spirit. He was disillusioned with what was happening and wanted confirmation that indeed Jesus was the Christ. Jesus gave him that confirmation. We saw a similar episode of depression in Elijah's life in 1 Kings 19:1-18. From these portions of God's word, we glean a "prescription" for depression: (1) Treat the body with rest and nourishment as needed. (2) Continue to serve God. (3) Reflect on what God is doing in the world—in your world.

Our Scripture reading was in Ezekiel 15:1-16:14.

In this message speaker James Widgeon leads our study in the first six verses in the book of Obadiah. The Lord speaks through the prophet that judgement has come to Edom and her ruin has been brought through the nations sins and would be utterly destroyed.

In this message Pastor Matt leads our continued study in the book of Matthew, chapter ten, where we read about the dangers the twelve disciples were to face as well as the blessings God would give to each disciple for their work on proclaiming His gospel. The gospel work is a never ending task. Christians will face many enemies of God, but the enemies of the gospel will be sorry they did not listen to His message, and will face great judgement for not listening and for turning others away from Christ. The Lord reminds us to not fear man who can only kill the body, but fear Him who can destroy both body and soul in hell. Those who are more concerned with the things of their family than the things of God are not worthy of Him. The Lord makes it very clear that we are to follow Him and put Him before all things.
