The interpretation of Genesis 1–3 influences the understanding of several major theological topics (like the nature of man, sin and death, and even salvation). Also, how you interpret Genesis 1–3 will expose your view of Scripture as a whole. Passages Discussed: Genesis 1; 1 Corinthians 15; Romans 5:12-21; Exodus 20:8-11 Four General Interpretive Approaches to Genesis 1-3 (We Hold to the Literal Historical View - Six-Day Creation) | Bro. Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | March 12, 2023

We have faith that God who exists in eternity created everything, but it's not blind faith like those who reject God. Our faith makes sense of what we observe, and science confirms it in many ways. Passages Discussed: Genesis 1:1; Romans 1:20; Colossians 1:16; Colossians 2:3; Colossians 2:9; 2 Corinthians 13:14 Genesis: Can God Really Have No Beginning? | Bro. Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | February 26, 2023

God declares His power to us when He reveals Himself to us in our need. We have the power within us to kill sin, because it was given us by the Father when we were regenerated. Such strength in power comes is the possession of Christ! Passages Discussed: Colossians 1:11-12; Eph 3:14-21; Eph 1:17-21 According to His Glorious Might | Colossians 1:11-12 | Bro. Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | May 1, 2022

Paul's intent here is that the Colossians would be filled with a deep, full, rich understanding of the grace of God that is theirs in Christ, a grace that stretches from eternity past when God set His will and predestined them to adoption as sons all the way through the present and into the future where they will spend eternity discovering the wonders of their inheritance in Christ as sons of God. Being Filled Leads to Righteous Living | Colossians 1:9-10 | Bro. Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | April 24, 2022

Spiritual growth doesn't happen apart from being filled up and controlled by the Word of God. Filled With the Knowledge of His Will | Colossians 1:9-12 | Bro. Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | April 17, 2022

What does the resurrection of Jesus Christ prove? This life will end and there is something out there, something beyond the grave. In Romans 1:19-20, God tells us He made Himself known, evident – His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen and understood through creation. There is a God-consciousness in every person. The Gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) is that Christ died for our sins; He was buried and was raised the third day, according to the Scriptures. He appeared -- He's alive and will come again. The resurrection of Jesus Christ proves that His sacrifice was acceptable by God (Colossians 2:14), sin was nailed to the cross. The resurrection of Jesus Christ proves that life after death is true -- there is life beyond the grave. Jesus said He is the resurrection and the life; if you believe in Jesus, you will live even if you die (John 11:25). We will die, then what? The resurrection of Jesus Christ proves that there is a resurrection for all people – a resurrection unto eternal life -- or – a resurrection unto eternal death. In 1 Peter 1:3 – God caused us to be born to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. This living hope should be so real and evident to others, always ready to give an account for the hope that is in you (1 Peter 3:15). My hope is not in the economy, my good deeds, my hair, my family, or anything. Either you believe or you don't; If you believe, then you forsake, repent, follow Him. Passages Discussed: Romans 1:19-20, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Colossians 2:14, John 11:25, 1 Peter 1:3, 1 Peter 3:15 What Does the Resurrection of Jesus Christ Prove? | 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 | Bro. Glenn Graham | Sunday Morning Sermons | April 17, 2022

What happens after the new birth? We live in an age of easy believe-ism, cheap grace, religious experience; where there is no biblical proof to say someone is a Christian. It's not attendance, not baptism; Matthew 7:23 Jesus says “I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.” There are many who believe they are a Christian, but most are not. Do not be like Esau (Hebrews 12:15-17) immoral, godless, who refused to repent though he sought for it with tears. To come short of the grace of God means that you are not saved, not going to heaven. The cultural Christian moves from the objective (Word of God) to the subjective (“I think …”). The objective is sure and steadfast; what does the Bible have to say? 2 Corinthians 13:5 – take the self-diagnostic test - lest you fail the test, to see if you are in the faith, if Christ be in you. There is one way we know we are His – if we keep His commandments, if we desire to do His will (John 14:15). 2 Corinthians 5:17 says the believer is a new creature; God did something new that was not there before – on the inside of a true believer. God did it though Christ – if you are a new creature, you are radically changed. Are you really a Christian or are you just playing? If you are really a Christian, there is an impact, there are effects of salvation. Don't be self-deceived. God rejected Esau because there was no place for repentance – even though he prayed, begged, wept for it. Ephesians 5:6-8 – let no one deceive you with empty words. Formerly you were darkness (depraved, lost, dead, self-righteous, darkest because you saw no need); now you are light (redeemed, regenerated new creature). Matthew 5:16 says let your light shine and reveal the effects and impact of the Gospel in your life. Passages Discussed: Hebrews 12:15-17, Matthew 7:23, 2 Corinthians 13:5, 2 Corinthians 5:17, John 14:15 The Effects of the New Birth | Hebrews 12:15-17 | Bro. Glenn Graham | Sunday Morning Sermons | April 10, 2022

The Gospel is not simply something non-Christians must hear and new Christians have believed, but it is that which growing Christians continue to learn. Passages Discussed: Colossians 1:6-8; Mark 4:8-20; Matt. 28:19-20 The Gospel: Heard, Believed, and Learned | Colossians 1:6-8 | Bro. Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | April 10, 2022

There are people today who say they are believers but there is no effect in their life that a new birth has occurred. They are shallow professors but not possessors – not true believers. The church needs more true believers. 1 Peter 2:22 You can get cleaned up on the outside, but what's on the inside reveals itself. People like what Christ offers, but are not willing to deny self and take up their cross. 1 John 2:19, says they were not really of us. People don't like discipline or to be convicted, challenged with the truthfulness of the Word of God. Instead, they will go find a church that gives approval to their sinful actions. God makes it very clear in His word what is right. People like to be affirmed in their sin, not confronted. Not everyone who says, “Lord, Lord” will enter Heaven. Jesus said, “Depart from Me. I never knew you, who practice lawlessness.” Just because someone says or claims or is a member, it does not equate to salvation. The wages of sin is eternal death(hell). 1 Cor.6:9 – do you not know? The unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God. Do not be deceived. If the lifestyle is contrary to the Biblical standard, there is no rebirth. The person is not a true believer. John 3 tells us of the necessity of salvation. Hebrews 2,3,4 tells of the urgency of salvation. Does salvation effect the person? YES! In 2 Cor 5:17, if any man is in Christ, he is a new creation. The Greek word means to make or create something which has not existed before, the new birth is the handiwork of God Himself. As in Matthew 13, the seed which lands in the fertile soil will bear fruit. There will be evidence of salvation. The Effects of the New Birth | 2 Corinthians 5:6-21 | Bro. Glenn Graham | Sunday Morning Sermons | April 3, 2022

Jesus came to those “in need of a physician.” They knew they were in need. The self-righteous are in eminent danger of an eternity filled with torment. Hebrews 2:3 – How will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? Hebrews 3:7 – today if you hear His voice. Hebrews 3:13, 3:15, 4:7 – Today! We must respond today. There is an urgency. 1 Kings 18:21 – how long will you hesitate? Some people “play” at church – they do not have a real love for the Lord, a trust and obedience. Today – what is so important about today? (1) There is no guarantee of tomorrow. Death can come suddenly and without warning. There was recently a local man who, just minutes after he went forward to accept Christ, he went back to his seat and fell down, dead. For him, there was just four minutes between heaven and hell. (2) There is no guarantee of another opportunity. There is no guarantee you'll ever hear God's voice again – that convicting presence of the Holy Spirit where we are confronted with our own sinfulness. If you hear – come, repent, believe. There is no escape, no other Savior. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. There is only one gate, one door; it is straight, narrow, and few find it. To not respond – is a decision. Every time you say no to God's mercy, it is easier to say “no” the next time. Hebrews 3:8, do not harden your heart. Do not be like Esau, Hebrews 12:15-17, an immoral man, who sought for salvation with tears, but he had no repentance. To the church – do we sense an urgency or are we willing to let the world around us “go to hell in a hand basket” -- that's exactly what our lackadaisical honoring of Christ and living for Christ amounts to. 1 Peter 3:15 – sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks, with gentleness and reverence. It's all about submission; make known the truths of scripture. Today, don't harden your heart. Say yes and come in faith in repentance - today. Passages Discussed: Hebrews 2:3, 3:13, 3:15, 4:7; 1 Kings 18:21, Hebrews 12:15-17

What demands does the spiritual sphere of your existence make right now upon the physical sphere of your existence? Vertical Faith Produces Horizontal Love | Colossians 1:3-5; 23 | Bro. Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | April 3, 2022

Unfortunately, many people in the church today have the mistaken idea that being like the world is the way to reach the world. They forget that the church is the people of God, a very special people, saved by His grace. Instead of maintaining separation (2 Cor. 6:14–7:1) they promote imitation (1 John 2:15–17; Rom. 12:2), so that it's becoming more and more difficult to distinguish the people of God from the people of the world. And yet, as Campbell Morgan reminded us, “The church did the most for the world when the church was the least like the world.” Colossians: The Writer, The Readers, The Greeting | Colossians 1:1-2; Acts 9:1-20; 2 Timothy 3:10 | Bro. Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | March 27, 2022

Paul's main purpose for writing this letter was to teach the Gentile Christians about the preeminence of Christ over all things, and how their union with Him should lead them away from false teaching and into righteous conduct to His glory. Colossians: Intro| Colossians 1 | Bro. Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | March 20, 2022

It is extremely important that if you hear the voice of God, you do not say no – hearing the voice of God means being convicted by the Holy Spirit through the preaching and reading of the word that you need Christ, you need forgiveness, you are the sinner, you have sinned against God, and that you are at enmity with God because of your sin. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not here. We have today. Death is coming, we just don't know when; there is no guarantee of tomorrow. There is something more pressing than physical death – all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Every human has the sentence of death. Salvation isn't just head knowledge. James says even the demons believe and shudder. In Hebrews 3:7, as the Holy Spirit says; the writer of Hebrews regarded Scripture as being the voice of God. 2 Tim 3:16 says all Scripture is God-breathed. 1 & 2 Timothy states men wrote as God moved and led. We must trust and obey. Hebrews 3:7 as Holy Spirit says – those who are now reading or hearing the word TODAY, this is God's word. God is speaking of salvation, repentance and belief. In Hebrews 3:13 and 3:15 and 4:7 it is pressing -- TODAY. The urgency is not impending (physical) death but the condition of your heart. It is hardened if you say no and tomorrow it will be a little further hardened and even easier to say no. What is your choice TODAY? The Urgency of Salvation (Part 2) | Hebrews 2:1-4, 3:7-8, 12-15, 4:1-7 | Bro. Glenn Graham | Sunday Morning Sermons | March 20, 2022

Are you saved? Statistics say generally, only about 20% of those who go to church are true genuine believers. The scripture says, “How shall we neglect so great a salvation?” What are we being saved from? The wrath of God. There is an urgency clearly laid out in Scripture. Hebrews 3:7 – “Today, if you hear his voice. Hebrews 3:15 – Today. Hebrews 4:7 – Today. Hebrews 2:2 says every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty. 2 Corinthians 13:5 asks us to test ourselves to see if we are genuinely in the faith. Look at the priorities in your life. Test yourself in light of Scripture. Come to Jesus, accept Him as your Lord and Savior, with a heart of repentance, be saved, today. Nothing else matters for eternity. The Urgency of Salvation (Part 1) | Hebrews 1:1-2:4 | Bro. Glenn Graham | Sunday Morning Sermons | March 13, 2022

By examining the five solas of the Protestant Reformation, MacArthur makes the case that all of the issues ailing and impairing the church today can and should be dealt with by a renewed emphasis on the Word of God, a clear look at our great salvation, and a strong devotion to glorify Him in all things! Do you want to see revival today? It starts with us fully submitting to the authority and sufficiency of God's Word. Passages Discussed: Ephesians 4:17-21; Ezekiel 36:26; 11:19; Jeremiah 31:33; Psalm 40:8; 2 Corinthians 3:2-3; 10:4; Ephesians 6:10-18; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Romans 4:5-8; Ephesians 2:8-9 The Need for a Reformation (Chapter 10 "Christ's Call to Reform the Church") | Ephesians 4:17-21| Bro. Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | March 6, 2022

A lukewarm heart is one that does not despise God, but does not love God. A lukewarm heart is one that is actually sentimental towards Him, but ignorantly chooses to be in control of their own lives. In time, the lukewarm heart will be damned for their lack of a real saving faith. You must examine yourself to see if you truly desire God and aren't just going through the motions. Are you lukewarm? He extends grace to those who repent and embrace Him as Lord and Savior! The Lukewarm Church: Chapter 9 in “Christ's Call to Reform the Church” | Revelation 3:14-22 | Bro. Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | March 6, 2022

Moses was a man marked by great faith. A man that was faced with something that I believe we can all relate to. He was a fairly normal guy who was used by God to do phenomenal things. He was faced with things that we can relate to, and what we'll find is that he made decisions that were God-honoring. Why? Because he had faith! Not every Saint is called to build an ark, or threatened with a fiery furnace... not all are compelled to leave a palace to live with the downcast, but every Believer is marked by the supernatural - and that mark is faith. Passages Discussed: Hebrews 11:23-27; Exodus 1-2:15; Acts 7:20-43; 2 Corinthians 5:14-15; 1 Peter 1:15-16; Romans 10:17; Luke 13:3; James 4:4; Romans 8:28-30 What Does Faith in God Look Like? | Hebrews 11:23-27 | Bro. Jeremy Moore | Sunday Morning Sermons | March 6, 2022

What is the highest virtue in God's moral and judicial framework? What moral virtue will God uphold and enforce above all others? In this sermon, Bro. Mathew argues that covenant loyalty is the highest virtue. After defining covenant and covenant loyalty, Bro. Mathew teaches on the Gibeonite Covenant as an example of covenant loyalty and its priority. Then Bro. Mathew applies the principle of covenant loyalty and its priority to Christians' assurance of salvation. Passages Discussed: Joshua 9; Jeremiah 31:31-34; Hebrews 7:21-27; 10:19-25 The Priority of Covenant Loyalty: An Example and Application | Joshua 9 | Bro. Mathew Wronski | Sunday Morning Sermons | February 27, 2022

We should strive to be found faithful like Philadelphia! Our utmost desire ought to be that of obedience to God's Word and our actions marked by persistent faithfulness, especially in the face of persecution. “You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved” Matthew 10:22. Philadelphia: The Faithful Church (Chapter 8 in “Christ's Call to Reform the Church”) | Revelation 3:7-13 | Bro. Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | February 27, 2022

Being born again is not optional – it is a necessity. Jesus says unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God, unless one is born of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God, and He says, “You must be born again.” (John 3:3,5,7). To be born again means to be redeemed, saved, regenerated, something must transpire. There is something that takes place when you are saved – the transaction. Christ took our place (2 Corinthians 5:21). Christ became a curse for us; Christ redeemed us from condemnation (Galatians 3:13). Salvation is not about being a church member or being baptized. Christ died for sins, the just for the unjust, to bring us to God (1 Peter 3:18) and teach us how not to continue in a sinful lifestyle (1 John 2:1-3). We were dead in our transgressions, but God made us alive together with Christ; He forgave us all our transgressions and cancelled out the decree of death against us and nailed it to the cross (Colossians 2:13-14). There is a transaction that happens when you are redeemed, regenerated, born again. It has taken place in eternity past, it took place at the cross, and it became effective when you came to faith in Christ. That's the transaction when you are born again. That's the transaction that takes place in the heart and life. When we are saved, born again, there is also a transformation. When we have heard and believed, we are sealed and God takes up residence in us (Ephesians 1:13), the Spirit dwells in us (Romans 8:9), we become a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17), and slaves of righteousness (Romans 6:16-22). We still have the capacity to sin, but we have gained the capacity to obey. We have eyes to see, ears to hear, and the Holy Spirit teaches us through God's word (1 John 2:27-29). The transaction is followed by the transformation. The one who keeps His commandments abides in Christ, and Christ in him (1 John 3:24). Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ loves the Father, loves the Son, loves the children of God, and we observe His commandments (1 John 5:1-2). Are you truly saved? Then the transaction and transformation and the Lord continuing to teach you are real and evident in your life (1 Thessalonians 4:1-5,9). Being Born Again – From Transaction to Transformation to Being Taught by God | John 3:1-21 | Bro. Glenn Graham | Sunday Morning Sermons | February 20, 2022

We see frightening words of judgment given to Sardis and the indifferent there called to wake up from their slumber. Let us thank God that we are a part of a living church and pray that it will always live until Jesus comes and not die like so many have. May those who are dead in the church be saved! The Dead Church: Sardis (Chapter 7 in “Christ's Call to Reform the Church”) | Revelation 3:1-6; Matthew 7 | Bro. Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | February 20, 2022

God wants us to confront and deal with sin because His concern is for the purity of His church. This same Lord who told John to write a warning to Thyatira is the same Lord of the church today and His message hasn't changed! Christ's Call to Reform the Church: Thyatira | Revelation 2:18-28 | Bro. Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group

The new birth is not just living out new ideals. It is not just turning over a new leaf. It is the inception of a new life. It is a miracle, it is radical, revolutionary, and lasting. It is making sheep out of goats. There is a new creation with a new heart. A lot of people think they are going to heaven just because they went down front, got baptized, go to church, etc. In John 8:31-34 they thought they were going to heaven simply because they are Jews, the Pharisees because they were most religious. However, if you are a Christian, your conduct would show it. 1 John 5 – Jesus says keep My commandments. John 8:44-51, you do the desires of your father. Romans 6-8 say it plainly, you are either a slave of sin or a slave of righteousness. In John 19:39, Nicodemus, a teacher of Israel, sought out Jesus in secret. He acknowledged that Jesus was from God with God's authority, but he was not believing unto salvation. Jesus said it plainly, (John 3:3-6) UNLESS one is born again, UNLESS one is born of water and the Spirit, YOU MUST be born again. The new birth is not produced by man. It does not originate with man. It is not initiated by man. John 1:12-13 God causes us to be born again. James 1:18, “in the exercise of His will, He brought us forth.” 2 Corinthians 5:9 – if you are in Christ, you have been born again, a distinct creature from who you were. Ephesians 2:4-7 – salvation is a work of God. 1 Peter 1:3 – according to His great mercy, He has caused us to be born again. An emotional response is not the rebirth. How can you be delivered from bondage of sin and then continue in it? You can't! God does not leave us in our ungodly sinful lifestyles. God says clearly in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11. Being born again does not mean we lose our capacity to sin; it does mean we have gained the capacity to love Christ, obey Him, and overcome sin. Jesus said you must be born again. Main Passages Discussed: John 3:1-10, Ephesians 2:4-7, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 You Must Be Born Again | Bro. Glenn Graham | Sunday Morning Sermons | February 13, 2022

Regardless of whether we call it health issues, pro-choice, or whatever, abortion is the shedding of innocent blood; it is murder. God's word says life begins at conception. There is a one cell entity that is alive and independent inside the mother. This new human zygote is unique… everything is there from conception: male or female, the color of eyes, etc. The Bible uses the same word for baby in the womb and out of the womb (after being born). Romans 1 reveals the sexual revolution (v.24), the homosexual revolution (v.26), then the depraved mind (v.28) that can't differentiate between right and wrong (v.29-32). God says we are all worthy of death; all have sin and the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life. Only by grace, believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, is heaven our home. Grace is amazing, marvelous, grace pardons and forgives. Do you know Him? Abortion is a paramount issue – vote pro-life; we give approval by what we vote for. Passages Discussed: 1 Corinthians 6:9-13, 14-20; Ezekiel 23:37-39 The Sanctity of Human Life (Part 2) | 1 Corinthians 6:9-20 | Bro. Glenn Graham | Sunday Morning Sermons | February 6, 2022

We are called to be separate - spiritually from the culture. We are to be wholly distinct from the wickedness of the world's system, not just because we know it is what God desires, but because He is HOLY and we are to want to be like HIM for HIS HOLINESS DRAWS US. The Compromising Church - Pergamum (Chapter 5, “Christ's Call to Reform the Church”) | Revelation 2:12-17 | Bro. Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | February 6, 2022

These days we hear about abortion under the guise of women's healthcare. We need to know what is taking place. Abortion is a barbaric practice that is wrong; it is murder. Life begins at conception. Just because abortion is legal does not make it right. Romans 1 – how we got here – God made Himself evident. We did not evolve; we were created in the image of God. When men exchanged the truth for a lie, God gave them over to impurity, degrading passions, and a reprobate mind. God makes it clear in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God. He reminds us, “such were some of you.” Confess and repent of your sin, accept Jesus Christ's forgiveness, grace and mercy. Passages Discussed: Romans 1, Genesis 1:26, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 The Sanctity of Human Life | Bro. Glenn Graham | Sunday Morning Sermons | January 30, 2022

We will continue on to the second letter written to the churches this week, which was written to Smyrna (Revelation 2:8-11). This church truly loved the Lord and models for us that true faith is verified by a lives of faithful perseverance even in the face of persecution. The Persecuted Church - Smyrna (Chapter 4, “Christ's Call to Reform the Church”) | Revelation 2:8-11 | Bro. Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | January 30, 2022

Circumcision points to a righteousness which comes though faith; it is a symbol of faith in God and a loyalty to God. Why did God command Joshua to circumcise all Israel? God wants obedience and is concerned about the heart of people. Did they trust God to lead, protect, and give the land to them, to fulfill His promises? Joshua had no doubt; he knew their obedience was their security and protection. Under his leadership, God led Israel to victory. How can we apply the example of Joshua? Obedience may cost job, reputation, relationship, but will we stand strong? God will enable us. Trust God and receive the Spirit (spiritual circumcision). Ask God to circumcise your heart if you are not saved. For those of us who are saved, continue to stand strong and follow in the footsteps of Joshua and Abraham. Is It Ever Okay to Disobey or Delay Obedience for Pragmatic Considerations? (Joshua 5:1-8) | Bro. Mathew Wronski | Sunday Morning Sermons | January 23, 2022

Beginning our study of the letters written to the churches by John through the revelation of the glorified Christ, we look first to Ephesus. This chapter reveals to us what our main pursuit must be - a greater love for Christ! The Loveless Church - Ephesus (Chapter 3, “Christ's Call to Reform the Church”) | Revelation 2:1-7 | Bro. Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | January 23, 2022

God makes it clear in His Word; the immoral man sins against his own body. We must always look at culture through the lens of the Bible. Culture changes, the Bible never changes. God's word is truth (John 17:17). God's word will last forever (1 Peter 1:22-25). The church is to be the pillar and support of the truth. What is the standard for God's people? To give ourselves away one time in life to your spouse, and to flee immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18). Passages Discussed: John 17:17, 1 Peter 1:22-25, 2 Peter 1:19-21, 1 Timothy 3:14-15, Genesis 2:18, Matthew 10:15, 2 Peter 2:6, Romans 1:18,24,26, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11,18 Biblical Sexual Morality | Bro. Glenn Graham | Sunday Morning Sermons | January 16, 2022

This week, Bro. Jeremy Moore leads the study of Chapter Two from John McArthur's book "Christ's Call to Reform the Church". The chapter is primarily out of Revelation 1:-20. The way in which Christ chose to reveal Himself in this passage signifies what He is calling His church to be and to do. Brother Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | January 16, 2022

Disciple means to be a follower, to teach and promote the cause of the leader, to be a pupil engaged in learning. Are you a disciple, a follower of the doctrine of Jesus Christ? Does you conduct of life reveal it? Jesus said, "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments, and they are not burdensome," (1 John 5:3). Discipleship is salvation (Matthew 28:19). The proof is in your life, John 8:31, "if you continue in My word, you are true disciples." Sunday Morning Sermons | Bro. Glenn Graham | November 28, 2021

What is the Lord's command for the church to be? Doctrinally and morally pure. We are to protect and invest in the only thing that can save - the Gospel. Brother Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | January 2, 2022

Paul's closing paragraph offers a statement of blessing to the churches at Thessalonica. Our modern expression of “have a blessed day” has the same intention, yet Paul attributes the blessing from the author when he writes “the Lord of Peace.” Ultimately when we prescribe blessings we are asking God to bless the obedience of His children. 2 Thessalonians 3:16-18; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; John 14:27; James 1:17-18; Hebrews 12:14; John 1:14 Brother Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | November 28, 2021

The disciples were asking Jesus what will it be like before His earthly kingdom is established. He tells them it will be a time of great tribulation. Evil men will lead many astray ( 2 Tim.3). Believers will be hated, hounded, given over (Matt.10:22). Many will fall away, but true faith endures. Endurance doesn't bring about salvation; salvation produces endurance. Who endures? Those who continue in the Word (John 8:31). Those who submit to Christ, are bound to Him, and continue in the faith. They overcame because they did not love their life even unto death (Rev.12:11). Are you ready when the day comes? Will He find you faithful? (Luke 18:8). Sunday Morning Sermons | Bro. Glenn Graham | November 28, 2021

Church discipline within the bounds of pursuing peace with all men, is necessary for the realization and acknowledgment of sin against a Holy God. Believers must always choose God over relationships and learn to be content, strive to stay in their own lane, and work hard as the Lord intended. In order to do these things, we must overcome “self”. Brother Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | November 21, 2021

What will it be like before Jesus returns to set up His earthly kingdom? The unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). Many false prophets will arise and mislead many (Matthew 24:6). Most people's love will grow cold. Lawlessness will increase (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4, 6-8). The spirit of lawlessness is at work now, but is restrained by God. As lawlessness increases, love decreases. The hallmark of a Christian is to trust and obey (2 Thessalonians 3:1-16). A life of submission starts with Jesus becoming your Lord and Master. This is how you know you love Him, if you keep His commandments, and His commandments are not burdensome (1 John 2:3-4, 3:22,24; 5:3). Are you saved? Are you ready? Jesus became the sacrificial Lamb of God to save you from eternity without Him. Brother Glenn Graham | Sunday Morning Sermons | November 21, 2021

The disciples asked Jesus what will be the signs of His return. The time is coming when government intrusion will be on a much larger scale. There will be great pressure to conform and yield. There will be many who will fall away because they never were truly born again; they did not have a saving faith. Lawlessness will increase. There will be a rise of false prophets and many will turn aside to myths (philosophies of man). John 16:8 tells about the ministry of the Holy Spirit to convict the world of sin. John 16:5 reminds us that the Holy Spirit will be with us and in us to remind us and strengthen us to be light in the dark. This world is not spinning out of control. It is moving exactly where God has said it is going to move in preparation for His return. Hebrews 3:7, today, if you hear His voice, come.

Those who profess a subjection to the Gospel will indeed have a desire and drive to live according to it. Those who do not live according to it are to be counted as unruly or undisciplined people. The Christian's duty with the unruly must always be obedience to God over relationships with man, and this is not easy. Pathfinder Fellowship Group | Brother Jeremy Moore | November 14, 2021

The disciples came to Jesus privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” Jesus tell us the darkness hates the light because light exposes their deeds, lawlessness. Persecution and trials will come; many will fall away. Persecution has a way of weeding out, revealing false believers. False prophets will deceive many (cross references: Jeremiah 5:12; 5:30; 6:13; 4:13-15; 20:1-2; 20:9, 23:9-11; 23:14-16; 23:21, 25-30). The solution: confess, repent, give your life to Christ. Hebrews 4:7. "Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts."

It is truly comforting to study this pastoral letter, by God through the writing of Paul, that explains the benefit believers receive through the grace of God who is faithful and cannot lie (2 Tim 2:13). God's children should expect good from Him as He promised to strengthen and establish them in their sanctification. Furthermore, believers are encouraged by God's people in prayer and fellowship, understanding that it is God who holds them up and He who prevents them from falling (Ps 17:5). Lastly, Christians are compelled to take refuge in God, like David (Ps 16:1), who become fixed on the everlasting hope and confidence in the Lord in His promises to protect from evil in the face of real persecution. | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | October 31, 2021

We are not to be frightened by circumstances. Trials will come, persecution will come. Affliction drives us to our knees, into a greater dependence on the Lord; He is all we have - God in us. God uses affliction to prove who we are, to prove that we belong to Him. Just live for Jesus; seek to honor and glorify Him. Be ready! Are you ready? Matt. 24:1-9, Heb. 10:26-27, 2 Cor.3:13, 1 Thess.5:3, 2 Tim. 1:3, Matt. 13:20-21, 2 Cor. 1:3-6, 2 Cor. 4:16-18, 2 Cor. 6:1-6, 2 Cor. 7:4, Col. 1:24, Rom. 13:1, Matt. 5:10-12, John 17:14, 1 Pet. 4:12-14

Jesus said, "See to it that no one misleads you." (Matt.24:4) The "Five Solas" describe the distinctions of biblical Christianity - by Scripture alone, by faith alone, by grace alone, by Christ alone, to the glory of God alone. Know what Scripture says; you've got to know what the "real" is to make the false obvious (Matthew 7:15). The way of the cross leads home. Jesus died that sinners may be forgiven and given eternal life. Place your faith and trust in Jesus as Lord (Col.2:13-15).

In this episode guest speaker Brad Pogue shares how true Christians are commanded to rejoice always in the Lord and be thankful for everything, good or bad, that He ordains to happen to us. Our focus rests on the Lord, even as we still live in this world. We are to regularly pray to our sovereign God, knowing that He is near and hears His children's prayers.

In this episode our Minister of Music and Families, Jeremy Moore, explains that because we are all different parts that make up one spiritual body, we should be striving to walk in a manner worthy of the God who called us into His own Kingdom and His own glory. Pathfinder Fellowship Group | May 09, 2021

In this episode, guest speaker Brad Pogue shares how scripture teaches that true believers are set apart for service to God and have a real desire to obey God and grow in holiness…while imperfections still remain, they are compelled to structure their lives, including their time, to labor towards this goal. We see this in the Thessalonian believers and others recorded in Scripture. Believers are to encourage and build each other up to do the same. We don't doze in spiritual sloth and indifference like those still in darkness. We also must understand the responsibilities within a church body between the members and their pastors that point in both directions. Let church members appreciate, highly esteem and live in peace with pastors who labor diligently to instruct them. Pathfinder Fellowship Group | May 16, 2021
