Title: Responsibility to Be Growing

Subtitle: 2 Peter

Speaker: Gil Rugh

Broadcaster: Indian Hills Community Church

Event: Sunday - PM

Date: 6/19/2016

Bible: 2 Peter 1:5-7

Length: 57 min. (64kbps)

Overview: God has provided all that is necessary for the believer to be saved and to life the new life. While the believer's position is secure, righteous, and holy the responsibility to live this new position out in the practice of daily life takes ongoing effort. With the root of salvation being nurtured and fed with the Word the growth will be evident. The effort of the believer to avail themselves and apply the means God has supplied must not be confused or misconstrued and a means of working for or earning salvation. This passage is addressed to those who are saved and the human responsibility for spiritual growth having been born again.

Title: The Basics of the Gospel

Subtitle: Gospel

Speaker: Gil Rugh

Broadcaster: Indian Hills Community Church

Event: Sunday Service

Date: 5/22/2016

Bible: 1 Corinthians 15; Romans 3-5

Length: 57 min. (64kbps)

Overview: The content of the Gospel from God necessarily includes the facts that all mankind are sinners and in need of a Savior, that Jesus Christ is the Savior of all who died, was buried, and was raised from the dead. The holiness and justice of God demand the payment of sin and the love of God was demonstrated by God Himself making the payment for the sin of all. Genuine saving faith believes the truth facts of the Gospel. The application of the provision of the salvation God has provided by the death of Jesus Christ is by means of faith alone in Christ alone. Truth about Jesus Christ is either received or rejected in its entirety. There is no middle ground, no neutrality, no selectively believing the facts God has revealed and preserved. Salvation is a gift that is received as all or nothing.--The Scriptures use different words to describe the results of the response of belief in the Gospel. A careful study of those terms helps explain the spiritual benefits to those who respond in faith and how to live the new life that results.

Title: Signing Off With Grace & Peace

Subtitle: 1 Peter

Speaker: Gil Rugh

Broadcaster: Indian Hills Community Church

Event: Sunday - PM

Date: 5/22/2016

Bible: 1 Peter 5:12-14

Length: 62 min. (64kbps)

Overview: Peter wrote bringing to the mind of the believer that in regard to the sufferings being endured in this present life, the glory of God in this life will sustain and is but a foretaste of the greater glory yet to come. This reminder strengthens and reinforces the believer-s hope that is certain and untouchable by the troubles of the day. The reminders of the glory also direct attention to the greatness of God Himself and who He is, the sovereign who is wise, loves and cares for His people. Peter himself was writing with such confidence in God and rejoicing in his salvation even as he faced his own martyrdom that was soon to come. With that assurance Peter could close his letter with a reminder of the peace of God that is given to those who have peace with God. A peace that is supernatural, beyond comprehension, and settles the soul through every storm of life.

Broadcaster: Indian Hills Community Church

Event: Sunday - PM

Date: 5/15/2016

Bible: 1 Peter 5:10-11

Length: 55 min. (64kbps)

Overview: The work of God in the believers live and the grace He supplies are the means for the enduring of suffering through the trials of life and even benefitting from them.

Hard times are good times in the hands of the God of all power who perfectly cares for His own.

Title: God's Word On Handling Our Troubles

Subtitle: 1 Peter

Speaker: Gil Rugh

Broadcaster: Indian Hills Community Church

Event: Sunday - PM

Date: 5/8/2016

Bible: 1 Peter 5:5-9

Length: 59 min. (64kbps)

Overview: Pressure is good in believeros lives as it serves to reveal weaknesses, the quality of faith, and core of character. During such times, God in His perfect love and care never lets the circumstance become more than will ultimately serve His purposes for the good of His child. The believer during those times, as they persevere in trusting and obeying, will realize in greater ways His love, care, and goodness throughout. His care which is sovereign, wise, and loving will include protection, guidance, and provision as He ultimately uses what may seem bad or troublesome at the time for good in the life of His children. The believer must be willful and deliberate in humbling themselves under Godos care while waiting upon Him.

Title: Heart Conditions Revealed by the Word

Subtitle: The Word of God

Speaker: Gil Rugh

Broadcaster: Indian Hills Community Church

Event: Current Events

Date: 5/1/2016

Bible: Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23

Length: 61 min. (64kbps)

Overview: Jesus taught in parables to conceal truth to those persistent in their unbelief and to reveal more truth to believers. In so teaching He used common metaphors followed by the explanation to make the truth and the point of the revelation understood. In this parable Jesus was explaining His ministry of the Word of God, the different responses to it, and the cause of the different responses. With the same Sower using the same seed the differing results were and continue to be because of the condition of the soil which illustrates the spiritual heart condition of people. As His disciples continued the ministry of the Gospel so too they, and those proclaiming the same message today, receive the same varying responses for the same reason, the spiritual heart condition of the hearer. The power of salvation continues to be in effect through the clear and biblical proclamation of the gospel message for those who hear and believe. The faithful proclamation of the Word of God always accomplishes the purposes of God and glorifies Jesus Christ.

Title: Check Up On Your First Love

Subtitle: Christian Living

Speaker: Gil Rugh

Broadcaster: Indian Hills Community Church

Event: Sunday - AM

Date: 4/17/2016

Bible: Revelation 2:1-7

Length: 55 min. (64kbps)

Overview: The church at Ephesus had been in existence about 40 years when Christ sent this message to them. It had been established to be a light revealing Christ in the midst of a community living in spiritual darkness characterized by great idolatry, immorality, and superstitions. The believers had done well and were commended by Christ for those things. However, His evaluation rebuked them for having lost their first love for Him. With the condemnation He called for them to remember who He is and what He had done for the, to repent, and to do their deeds as they had done when they individually were first saved and corporately when the church first began. Today believers individually and corporately in each local body of Christ must continue to consider the evaluations Christ gave the churches for encouragement to those being faithful, to strengthen the weary, and humbly confront the weaknesses not becoming complacent or satisfied with a lesser relative status quo that is irrelevant. The standard every church will be held accountable to is that of the Jesus Christ, the Head of the Church.

Title: Pray and Keep Watching for God's Answer

Subtitle: Psalms

Speaker: Gil Rugh

Broadcaster: Indian Hills Community Church

Event: Sunday - AM

Date: 4/10/2016

Bible: Psalm 5

Length: 63 min. (64kbps)

Overview: The difference and distinction between the children of God and the children of the devil will cause conflicts and difficulties. Compromise and capitulation by GodDs people to get along with the devilDs people may seem a viable solution that may relive some pressure at the moment but in the long run will be a forfeiture of GodDs peace and protection. Standing firm, living dependent upon the Lord, and seeking refuge in Him are the means believers must utilize to stay the course and be a light in the darkness of the world in sin. God Himself will hold the unbeliever accountable and while having shown them love by providing a Savior for all, He yet abhors them and their sin. A means for strengthening, being wise, and faithful is humble prayer for ourselves and one another to stay focused on living the righteous life pleasing to God. Prayer that is confident, fully trusting the Lord, and expectantly watching for the LordDs answers will fortify GodDs people to serve Him well in every, and all circumstances, as they unfold.

Title: The Church and the Gifts Given

Subtitle: 1 Peter

Speaker: Gil Rugh

Broadcaster: Indian Hills Community Church

Event: Sunday - PM

Date: 4/3/2016

Bible: 1 Peter 4:11

Length: 57 min. (64kbps)

Overview: How the church functions and how it grows spiritually involves the provisions of the spiritual gifts God gives the church. The Spirit of God gives ability to each one when they are born again so they are equipped and enabled to serve the Lord in the local church. Individual spiritual gifts are determined and discovered by functioning in the local church and in so doing will become obvious. Areas of giftedness will then become the area where service is focused. The spiritual gifts are given and exercised for the good of others and the overall functioning of the local body of Christ. Two broad categories of the gifts are identified as speaking gifts and serving gifts. All service is done for the Lord to honor Him and make Him known. In so serving the grace of God is displayed in individuals and in their corporate service with one another.

Speaker: Gil Rugh

Broadcaster: Indian Hills Community Church

Event: Sunday - AM

Date: 3/20/2016

Bible: Psalm 2; Isaiah 40

Length: 61 min. (64kbps)

Overview: There is one sovereign universal ruler overall creation and that is the One who created it all. Rebellion by mankind is against God's rule in denial of His control and authority.

In His sovereign control and authority He has chosen a Ruler and the people from whom He will come as has been revealed in His Word. This Ruler first came to provide salvation for the people over whom He will rule. That rule is yet future awaiting His chosen time for His kingdom to be established on the earth.
