Which way are you walking? Every Christian is headed in a direction. The question is whether our daily walk reflects the new life we have in Christ or the old life we were called to leave behind. In this message, Pastor Ed Decker preaches from 2 Corinthians 6:11-17 and Romans 6, examining God's call for His people to separate from the world, no longer serve sin, and walk in newness of life. This message challenges us to examine more than what we say we believe. We must also examine the direction of our lives. What influences are shaping us? What are we allowing into our lives? What are we serving? Where is the road we are walking taking us? The question is simple: Which way are you walking? Join us as we open the King James Bible and consider what Scripture teaches about separation, sin, obedience, righteousness, and walking in newness of life. #ArnoldBaptistTabernacle #PastorEdDecker #BiblePreaching

This sermon explores the metaphor of Jesus as the true vine and believers as branches, emphasizing the necessity of abiding in Christ to produce spiritual fruit. The preacher highlights the role of God the Father as the husbandman who prunes believers to remove dead weight and promote growth, urging acceptance of this process rather than resistance. Key themes include the cleansing power of Scripture, human inability to be self-sufficient without Jesus, and the distinction between fleeting emotions and the enduring fruit of the Spirit known as joy. The message challenges listeners to remain connected to Jesus for strength, hope, and a fullness of joy that transcends life's circumstances.

What were the duties of the priests who served God in the Tabernacle, and what can those duties teach Christians today? In this Sunday School lesson, Pastor Ed examines the responsibilities associated with the Old Testament priesthood and shows how they point to important principles of Christian service. The priests were called to approach God on behalf of the people, provide spiritual leadership, encourage God's people, deal with uncleanness, call the people together, and serve according to God's instructions. The lesson challenges us to consider an important question: If God has called us to serve Him, what does faithful service actually require? Join us as we study Numbers 4:47-49 and related passages and examine the Tabernacle, the priesthood, and their lessons for believers today. Topics: The Tabernacle, Old Testament priesthood, Christian service, spiritual leadership, holiness, worship, and our responsibilities toward others.
