Romans 14:1-15:13 May 25, 2025 PM.In part 1, we consider the historical context of the Roman church that raised conscience issues. Then we identify the weak and strong in faith and conscience.

Luke 22:63-23:5 May 25, 2025 AM.Jesus was mocked and beaten by the temple officers. He was unjustly tried by the Jewish San Hedrin council. He was dismissed and not protected by Pilate. But He did not respond in kind, instead committing Himself to God. We learn from His example how to suffer persecution. Will you treat Him like the officers, or like the San Hedrin, or like Pilate? Or will you consider His great love for you and acknowledge that He gave Himself for you to deliver you from the wages of sin?

Various May 25, 2025 SS.Pastor Postiff broaches the subject of FBC serving as a sending church for a new missionary couple.

We began to look at some principles and the process of how we go about sending a missionary.

Various May 11, 2025 SS.Regarding sober-mindedness, we are thinking of a Christian who is level-headed, focused on the important things in life, single-minded instead of double-minded, using the mind well, and maintaining an undistracted narrower focus. Can you think of some real life examples where a sober mind is needed or perhaps was lacking? I found an example in the ancient church fathers, where Ignatius wrote to Polycarp these words: "Be sober as God's athlete. The prize is immortality and eternal life, of which you have been persuaded."

Luke 22:31-38 May 4, 2024 AM.Jesus helps His disciples prepare for what is coming. The immediate need will be for the testing that comes when Jesus is betrayed and arrested. He prophesies that Peter will falter under the tempting hand of the Devil, but that he will be restored. Jesus encourages him by telling him that He is praying for him. The secondary need is that the disciples will be left without Jesus and His special care of them in their journeys. They will have to make use of normal means to care for themselves: money, supplies, even tools for self-defense and other necessary activities.

Daniel 9:1-19 May 4, 2024 SS.Five concepts in this prayer disclose the concern of Daniel's heart. First, he recites that God faithfully keeps His promises. Second, God's righteousness warrants confession of the guilty. Third, the Lord is merciful and forgiving. Fourth, The Lord righteously upholds His justice by punishing evil. And fifth, the Lord deserves honor among the nations. Together these five truths reveal the ultimate concern of Daniel's heart was God's glory.

Acts 25:1-27 April 30, 2025 PM.Paul uses the legal means at his disposal to save his life from persecutors. Although the new governor, Festus, initially seems more decisive than Felix before him, it becomes evident that all he wants to do is please the Jewish enemies of Paul. Paul is forced to appeal to Caesar. Otherwise, he would end up in Jerusalem in the hands of the San Hedrin council, who would undoubtedly kill him as they killed Jesus years earlier.

I want to first explain why we believe Jesus rose from the dead, that is, to give you reasons why you should believe as well. Then, I want to investigate with you why it is unreasonable that you do not believe in the resurrection.

Various April 20, 2025 SS.According to sound principles of historical research coupled with Christian presuppositions, it is very reasonable to believe that God raised Jesus from the dead.
