All theology must have a clear conclusion to its meaning in order for it to be sound theology. It is easy to take scripture out of context. It must line up with the rest of scripture, and what is clearly written. Pastor Coon talks about some popular teachings that are not sound doctrine according to the Word of God. We also look at scripture that backs our need to read the Word and take the Word of God as absolute truth.

Pastor Weymouth continued his sermon on the 10 commandments with the 5th commandment. Honor your father and mother starts the commandments that deal with our relationship with others. Honoring your father and mother is all about preserving your home. Only love can build a good home. The benefits to honoring your father and mother consists of having a long life, a good life, a right life, and it pleases the Lord. We honor our father and mother by:

1. Being Obedient

2. Being Helpful

3. Being Respectful

4. Being Grateful

5. Heeding Their Counsel

6. Living Honorable

Today, Pastor Coon emphasized the importance of focusing on the Word of God and what the Bible says above all. Personal messages and prophecy are great, but shouldn't be placed above the Bible, and because of that, it is important to know what the Bible says. The Bible is the most prophetic and accurate book available and it is clear enough to understand for anyone through the Holy Spirit. Let God take care of the future, focus on the present, reading God's Word, and reaching others for Christ.

Tonight, Pastor Weymouth shared with us that love conquers all. Love conquers death, sorrow, grief, pain, and heartache. God's love is what saved us through His son Jesus. Also, Pastor Weymouth encouraged us to continue to pray for things to become better. Prayer can change things.

Our 2024 goals are the aims and desires that we are seeking. We first need to put God first and seek His will. We should organize our life and know that there is a time for every purpose. We must assert ourselves and actively pursue our goals. We must live how Christ did and be an example. Lastly, we must not wait, we must start now! Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Don't forget about Jesus in 2024.

Today, we are visited by Pastor James Powell. We have become inward believers. We have lost our great commission and are not evangelizing as often. How can we keep our lamps lit and be prepared to reach others? Pastor Powell looks at Matthew 25 and encourages us to utilize our resources and talents to further the Kingdom of God. It is our responsibility to help the hopeless in our community. God has called us all to be extroverts for Christ.

In today's message, Roland recaps the Christmas story and asks the question, what is the Spirit of Christmas? The true Spirit of Christmas is the Holy Spirit because Jesus was born of the Holy Spirit. When we accept Jesus as our Savior, people can then see Jesus in us.

In the fourth message on the 10 commandments, Pastor Weymouth talks about keeping the Sabbath holy. He first explains that the New Testament church changed the holy day to the first day of the week from the last. The Lord's Day is a day of worship and rest. It is what is best for our souls and body. Without it we will stress ourselves out and anxiety will dominate. We all need rest for our souls and body.

Pastor Coon continues his teaching on how to prepare for Christmas. Last week we covered praying, reading God's word, and evangelism. This week we talked about budgets, self-discipline, resting, and enjoying Christmas.
