SERMON TEXT: Numbers 21:1-4

Numbers 21:1 And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners. 2 And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities. 3 And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.  4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.

SERMON BY: Dr. Dave Hardy
SERMON TITLE: Christ Died for Us
SERMON THEME: Love Demands Expression
SERMON SERIES: Guest Speakers
SERMON VERSES: Romans 5:6-11

* The power of God’s love (v 6)
* The proof of God’s love (vv7, 8)
* The provision of God’s love (v 9)
* The person of God’s love (v 11)

Rom. 5:6   For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

SERMON TEXT: Esther 4:10-14

Esther 4:10 Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai; 11 All the king’s servants, and the people of the king’s provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days. 12 And they told to Mordecai Esther’s words. 13 Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king’s house, more than all the Jews. 14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man.

SERMON BY: Bro. Dale Bigham
SERMON TITLE: How to Make a Spiritually Wise Decision
SERMON THEME: Be Discerning
SERMON SERIES: Guest Speakers
SERMON VERSES: Ephesians 5:10; Proverbs 2:1-12

Gods will from 3 aspects…

1. The decreed will - when gods decrees, men can’t alter (Is 46:9-11).  His counsel will stand, e.g., the creation, crucifixion, and the new earth. But we cannot apply everything that happens as a gods will.
2. The desired will - God decrees WHAT he desires, but he doesn’t make men follow his desire. We can reject his desire, but we can’t escape the consequences.
3. The directional will - He has given us the Spirit, Who is quick to direct us!

Ephesians 5:10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. 13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. 14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

Proverbs 2:1   My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; 2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; 3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; 4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; 5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. 6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. 7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. 8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. 9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
Prov. 2:10   When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; 11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: 12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man…

3. We need to be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.

DATE: Sunday AM, September 11, 2022
SERMON BY: Dr. John Waterloo
SERMON TITLE: The Laws of Social Justice, Pt. 1
SERMON THEME: Laying the Groundwork
SERMON SERIES: The Book of Exodus
SERMON VERSES: Exodus 22:16-31

* Respect your neighbors, especially the widow and orphan
* Restitution is proper
* Regulations are necessary - sometime we even have to remove (i.e., capital punishment)
* We are responsible for our actions
* Right and wrong are to be taught. There IS absolute Truth!

1. Our response to social issues is to be a reflection of our Christianity
2. The Bible is the standard for all social issues
3. We are to be HOLY people (set apart to Truth)

Ex. 2:16   And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife. 17 If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins. 18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. 19 Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death. 20 He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed. 21 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. 22 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. 23 If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry; 24 And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

Ex. 22:25   If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury. 26 If thou at all take thy neighbour’s raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down: 27 For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious. 28 Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people. 29 Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me. 30 Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me. 31 And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.

SERMON TEXT: Proverbs 5-7; 14:1; 19:13; 21:19; 31; 1Peter 3:1-4

* The natural design of a woman’s heart for a home
* A godly woman creates a nurturing spirit in the home

Proverbs 14:1   Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.

1Peter 3:1   Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. 3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
