The story of the children of Israel wanting a king before God wanted them to is a very sad one. And it is a story that we should glean from and take heed lest we make the same mistakes. To refuse God's authority is to accept the authority of a dictator, which is what the children of Israel found out as a result of their rebellion against their Almighty King.

This is our midweek Bible study, and we are pleased to have Missionary Chris King with us. In this study, we take a look at I John 1. And the whole theme of the chapter is fellowship with God. There is no better gift besides salvation than the gift of fellowship with God for the believer.

David had five loyal men at his disposal, even when it seemed all Israel was against him. And they were simply faithful to do what David had instructed them to do. It's not rocket science for the Christian! We must simply follow every command God gives us.

What are you looking for in this life? Are you looking for that blessed hope? What is “that blessed hope”? It is the coming of our Savior! Listen to this message taken from God's word on how we MUST be living towards His imminent coming and be ready for it!

We apologize for no podcast in OT survey last week, but this is a continuation of our study in the book of I Samuel. As always, there are so many lessons to be learned from this book, and there are many pictures of Christ in this book, including the extraordinary example of David. You can watch the first lesson about I Samuel on our YouTube channel (Bonners Ferry Baptist Church).

We find that what refreshed David throughout the whole account you will hear of in this message, was his heart of worship toward the LORD! Don't miss the important truths in this message.

Galatians 6 is the passage for this message. If we are going to "continue" in our walk with Christ, we must learn to "faint not". How do you do this? By spending time with the One Who has all strength and power! Listen to this message, as there is much time spent in His Word dealing this subject.

This is a message preached at the Moyie Springs City Hall in Moyie Springs, ID. It is another clear picture of what the gospel is like. Christ is our Shepherd, and we must put our trust in Him to take us to His fold.

In this message, we find servants who had true devotion to King David. They had their own ideas about how they could serve, but were willing to do whatever their master, the king, told them to do!

As we continue to see different accounts of Gods people continuing, we look at the first church in the book of Acts. They continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine, breaking of bread, prayers, in one accord, etc. Listen to this message to learn how to continue, from God's Word!

The book of Ruth is refreshing and wonderful after you come out of the dark book of Judges and you can see that there were still men who followed God rather than doing what was right in their eyes, like Boaz! We see such a clear picture of Christ throughout this Old Testament book! 

We can see that David had complete trust in God when he said this! This was in reference to Absolom, his son that wanted him killed. But David had trust in God to keep him safe, therefore he had no fear of his son! Please listen to these powerful truths pulled out of God's Word!

Peter had some complications with his trust in Christ, and this would be a revealing and proving time for him! But we find that in the end, Peter realized that his Master always knows best, and he forsook all, and followed Him.

While the Book of Joshua was a book of victory, Judges is a demonstration of how horrific it can be when a nation does "that which is right in their own eyes".

Hushai was a friend to David when David's son was rebelling. Tonight, we will look at how they were friends, and how that applies to our relationship with Jesus Christ.

Do you struggle with living for Christ? Are you distracted with the things of this life? This message will encourage you greatly to focus, not on what is now, but to continue till Christ comes.

This evening, we look at the Book of Joshua. While Moses was like a shepherd, Joshua was more like a captain for the people of Israel. The key theme throughout the whole book of Joshua is victory, and Pastor Neal talks about some practical ways to have victory in our own lives. 

In this message, David is being pursued by his own son. Yet, David was was not afraid because of where his trust was. 

Again, the theme for this church this year is to continue in the word of Christ. And this message deals with the key verse for the theme: John 8:31. We must continue in Christ's word to be His disciples indeed, and then we shall know the truth, and the truth will make us free!

We continue in our Old Testament Survey, and study the book of Deuteronomy! There are so many wonderful truths to be taken from this last book of the Pentateuch, and as always, pictures and shadows of Jesus Christ throughout.

Not much is said in the Bible about the man Ittai, but we know enough about the man to say that he was faithful to the right king, and would not turn back, even when he was given freedom to do so, and this helped him earn incredible trust from King David himself.

The theme for Bonners Ferry Baptist Church for 2026 is to “Continue” in our walk with Christ. The passage for this message is John 6, where at the end of the chapter, almost all of Christ's disciples left because they were offended at Christ's words. But there were 11 that would continue even after the death and resurrection of their Master, because of Who they knew they were following.

Christ said that if a man put his hand to the plough, and looked back, he was not fit for the kingdom of God. These are strong words, but true ones. This message is on how we must continue to follow God's will, and no looking back.

Is it ever right to run? Is it ever not a cowardly thing to do? Yes! In fact, there are many times we are commanded to flee certain sins. In this message we see the necessity to run away from the rule of Absolom, and it was no cowardly thing to do, but a sign of complete allegiance to the true king.

Can anyone impress God? Is it even possible? It seems so if you look at the faith of the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15. Christ was amazed at the faith of this woman, and appalled by the hypocrisy of the Pharisees in the same chapter. It is faith that is the method of our Master.

In this morning's message, we looked at how Joseph was persuaded that what God said was true. Tonight, we look at his persuasion, or faith, in action. He obeyed what God said, no matter how drastically it changed his plans he may have had.

Joseph was a just man, so there were some doubts in his mind when Mary was with child. But when the word of the Lord came to him, all his doubts were dispelled, because he was persuaded of the absolute fact that God's Word was always right. Please tune in.

In this lesson, we look at the book of Numbers in the Old Testament. We see the generation of the children of Israel finding blessings and curses as they disobeyed, and we also see battles fought by the second generation and much more packed into this fourth book of the Pentateuch.

We see another example of how something representing the world can pressure someone representing the Christian into total defeat spiritually. In this message, we look at the sad story of Samson.

Who is the "prince of this world"? It is Satan and none other. He is a rebel and the father of lies. And even he will be overthrown by God, and therefore all his followers will. And God has been gracious enough to send a Comforter to reprove the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement, to help deliver the world from the clutches of this prince.

In this lesson, we look at the book of Leviticus. We see in this book, the theme is Sanctification and Separation.

All of us struggle with sin. But we must remember where our victory comes from. Christ overcame sin, and now offers us his strength to overcome the temptations that are common to man.

The life of Lot is a very sad story. He is known for his worldliness, and his very sad ending.    In this message, we will see how Lot continually pushed to get his way with the angels, and yet, did nothing to resist the evil men of his day. 

When we look at ourselves, we can think that we are pretty good people. But when we look at the righteousness of God, we quickly realize that we have fallen way short of the Glory of God. 

In this lesson, we look at the book of Exodus. We see in this book, the theme is Deliverance and Redemption. Over and over, God would provide, but the people would complain. 

Absolom was the perfect picture of a hypocrite. He would do anything to get promoted to the throne, and since he was evil, he had to cover up who he truly was.

During the feeding of the five thousand, we notice one thing that is very interesting. Christ gave thanks for the food before it multiplied. This teaches us a very good lesson. Please tune in.

Absolom was a character in the Bible that was a perfect picture of Satan. Did he do witchcraft? Maybe not, but he simply lived for self promotion, and that is the epitome of Satan. 

Psalm 19 gives us a wonderful picture of the character of God and everything he has given us and done for us. The fool has said in his heart that there is no God, and this psalm backs that up along with many others.

Here's a message from our guest pastor, Nick Pruett. Paul and Barnabas preached the word as they went along. It wasn't a small afterthought in their life but a fundamental part of everything they did. 

Here's another message from our guest preacher, Jimmy Finneson. We hope it is a blessing and a help to you.

We hope you enjoy this message by our guest preacher, Jimmy Finneson. It is important that we rest in the work of the Lord, and realize that He is our master and Lord. “Be still and know that I am God…”

In this lesson, we look at the book of Genesis, the book of beginnings. One thing to keep in mind through Bible survey is that pictures of Christ are woven throughout each book of God's Word.

This is something that Amasai, the chief of the captains said to David when he asked whose side his group was on. Tonight we look at something that we need to learn regarding whose side WE are on. There is no middle ground. You are either for Christ or you are against him.

Are you for Christ or against Him? Is there any in-between ground? Absolutely not, and this message is a charge to us as Christians to get in the battle, and to get serious about fighting it in the power of the Lord.

This begins a new series on our midweek service! This is simply a lesson laying the groundwork for what will be taught in the next many weeks. We learn different things about God's Word in general, but also learn many things about the OT and good tips on remembering how it is constructed.

Can we still learn practical applications to our lives from the Old Testament? Absolutely! Tonight, Gary Neal preaches from the book of Leviticus where it speaks of how the corners of the fields were to be left for the poor. There is a powerful truth to be learned from this passage. Please tune in.

Gary Neal brings us another message that shows us the heart of missions, the gospel. "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."

This is the third message in our missions conference by Gary Neal. We look at the life of Jacob and see that the little comfort he had that he used as his pillow was consecrated to God. We see a perfect picture of how we must be ready to consecrate comfort to spread the good news of Jesus Christ.

This is the second message in our missions conference here at BFBC brought to us by Gary Neal. It is a sobering, but necessary message. We see the necessity of realizing the reality of Hell in order to understand the necessity of spreading the gospel.

This message is the first in our annual missions conference here a Bonners Ferry Baptist Church. We are privileged to have Gary Neal with us. In this message he preaches on how our mindset should be on getting the gospel out to the world.
