Sunday May 25, 2025 at the Hub City Church On Guard Against Gospel Drift | Galatians 2:11-14 World Upside Down Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes: ACCOUNTABILITY is ESSENTIAL in the church because EVERY CHRISTIAN is SUSCEPTIBLE to gospel DRIFT. “We need accountability. Left to our own devices, we will soon devise or succumb to all kinds of evil. As Christians we know that we need other believers to hold us to the standards of Scripture. Life is far too difficult and we are far too sinful to live in solitude. We need community. We need accountability. And God has anticipated our need by giving us the local church as the primary means of this accountability.” — Tim Challies - No matter how MATURE in faith, we ALL continue to have indwelling SIN that must be DEALT with. Romans 7:15,18-19 // 1 John 1:8 - Biblical COMMUNITY affords relational PROXIMITY which affords healthy OPPORTUNITY for others to see our sinful PROCLIVITIES. Proverbs 18:1 // Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 // Proverbs 27:17 - The Bible presents CORRECTION by those who love CHRIST and love US, not as something we should FEAR but something we should DESIRE. Proverbs 9:8, 27:6 // Psalm 141:5 // Hebrews 3:13 - While strong, PUBLIC REBUKE is sometimes necessary, ORDINARILY correction should take the form of a GENTLE and relatively PRIVATE APPEAL to BELIEVE the gospel AFRESH. Matthew 18:15 // Galatians 6:1 // 2 Timothy 2:24-25 The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.

Sunday May 18, 2025 at the Hub City Church God's Sovereignty Over All | Acts 12 The Gospel for All | a teaching series through Acts Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes: "No plan of God's can be thwarted; when He acts, no one can reverse it; no one can hold back His hand or bring Him to account for His actions. God does as He pleases, only as He pleases, and works out every event to bring about the accomplishment of His will. Such a bare unqualified statement of the sovereignty of God would terrify us if that were all we knew about God. But God is not only sovereign, He is perfect in love and infinite in wisdom.” — Jerry Bridges God is SOVEREIGN over life and DEATH, the MISSION of His church and EVERYTHING else, therefore, we ought to LIVE BODLY to GLORIFY Him! Romans 8:28 While no one knows the TIMING or MANNER of their own DEATH, believers can be sure that it won't happen OUTSIDE of God's PLAN and that when it does, they will be instantly ‘at HOME with the LORD'. Hebrews 9:27 // 2 Corinthians 5:8 While the church will face SETBACKS and SEASONS of DIFFICULTY, it is NEVER at RISK of ultimate FAILURE because it is SUSTAINED by God's INFINITE POWER. Matthew 16:18 // Hebrews 12:28-29 No matter what, the SUPREMACY of Christ GUARANTEES this: in the end, all who OPPOSE Him will LOSE and all who are WITH Him will WIN. 1 Corinthians 15:20-26 // Philippians 2:9-11 The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.

Sunday May 11, 2025 at the Hub City Church Living Up to Our Label | Acts 11:19-30 The Gospel for All | a teaching series through Acts Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes: “The gospel is not a doctrine of the tongue, but of life. It cannot be grasped by reason and memory only, but it is fully understood when it possesses the whole soul and penetrates to the inner recesses of the heart.” — John Calvin The ‘Christian' label was given not just based on belief in Jesus but a lifestyle of discipleship - being told the gospel, taught to obey it, eager to tell others and faithful to teach them as well. 1. Christians never graduate from needing to be told the gospel. 1 Corinthians 15:1 // Philippians 3:1 // 2 Peter 1:12 2. Christians highly prioritize being taught to be faithful to Christ in all of life. Matthew 28:20 // Colossians 1:28 // Philippians 1:27 // 2 Timothy 3:16-17 3. Christians naturally tell others about the hope available in Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5:20 // 1 Peter 3:15 4. Christian maturity looks like teaching others to follow Christ with us. 2 Timothy 2:2 // 1 Corinthians 11:1 The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.

Sunday April 27, 2025 at the Hub City Church The Purpose of Miracles in the Church | Acts 9:32-43 The Gospel for All | a teaching series through Acts Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes: “It should come as no surprise that the God who supernaturally created the universe should choose at times to supernaturally intervene in it.” — John MacArthur Miracles are not UNNATURAL but are glimpses of NATURE RESTORED —momentary REVERSALS of the CURSE, revealing how all things will one day be MADE NEW in Christ. Romans 8:20-21 // Isaiah 35:5-6 1. God allows the gift of HIS POWER to flow through FLAWED MEN in order to magnify His GRACE and GLORY. Luke 22:31-32 // 2 Corinthians 4:7 2. God SOMETIMES miraculously HEALS at our request simply to demonstrate His FATHERLY CARE. Matthew 7:7-11 // Psalm 103:13 3. God OFTEN WITHHOLDS miraculous healing because His PLAN is BETTER: for us to EMBRACE SUFFERING in FAITH, knowing that disease and death will soon be VANQUISHED. 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 // 1 Peter 1:3-7 4. WHENEVER God performs a physical miracle, it is ALWAYS for the ultimate purpose of the greatest miracle: SAVING FAITH in Jesus Christ. Mark 2:1-12 // John 20:30-31 The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.

Sunday April 20, 2025 at the Hub City Church The Gospel in a World of Fake News | Matthew 27:62-28:15 Resurrection Sunday 2025 | He is risen! Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes: “If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all he said; if he didn't rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like [Jesus'] teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead.” — Tim Keller The phenomenon of ‘fake news' exists because sometimes, people in power deem the truth to be inconvenient or even detrimental to their preferred narrative. John 3:19-20 While some would prefer the message of Jesus' life, death and resurrection to be labeled ‘fake news', there is a litany of reasons to believe it is true: - The Empty TOMB - Many Eyewitness TESTIMONIES - The Disciples TRANSFORMATION If Jesus really was raised from the dead, it is actually the best news you'll ever hear! John 11:25-26 // Romans 10:9-10 The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.

Sunday April 13, 2025 at the Hub City Church Do You Know the Real King Jesus | Luke 19:28-40 // Acts 9:20-31 Palm Sunday 2025 Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes: Palm Sunday is not just a day of CELEBRATION — it's a day of EXAMINATION that begs the question: Do we REALLY KNOW the King we CLAIM to follow? 1. Many people PRAISE Jesus as ‘KING' under the FALSE ASSUMPTION that He has come to give them the EARTHLY LIFE they've always WANTED. Mark 10:17,22 // John 6:60,66 // Matthew 11:2-3 // Luke 24:21 2. Following the REAL King JESUS often leads to DIFFICULTY, not COMFORT — because the world OPPOSES the message of His ETERNAL Kingdom. John 15:18-19 // John 16:33 3. King Jesus is WORTH losing EVERYTHING for because He has given us the most VALUABLE thing of all — HIMSELF. Philippians 3:7-10 // Matthew 13:44 “God always gives us what we would have asked for if we had known everything He knows.” — Tim Keller The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.

Sunday April 6, 2025 at the Hub City Church Paul's Radical Conversion | Acts 9:1-19 The Gospel for All | a teaching series through Acts Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes: REGENERATION is the SOVEREIGN work of GOD in which He AWAKENS those who are spiritually DEAD, ENABLING them to BELIEVE in and FOLLOW Jesus. “Divine grace does not trample on human personality. Rather the reverse, for it enables human beings to be truly human. It is sin which imprisons; it is grace which liberates. The grace of God so frees us from the bondage of our pride, prejudice, and self-centeredness as to enable us to repent and believe.” — John Stott Titus 3:4-5 // John 6:63,65 // 1 Peter 1:3 // Ephesians 2:4-5 Lessons on Regeneration from the Apostle Paul's Conversion: 1. EVERY CHRISTIAN, no matter how godly and mature, has a TOTALLY REBELLIOUS ‘BEFORE CHRIST'. 1 Timothy 1:15-16 // Ephesians 2:1-2 2. No one CHOOSES Jesus as Lord in their OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS; He CHOOSES us and OPENS our EYES to His GLORY when we are DEAD in our SIN. John 15:16 // 2 Corinthians 4:6 // Ephesians 1:3-5 // Galatians 1:15-16 3. Everyone Jesus TAKES as His OWN, He TASKS with a specific ROLE in His mission. Acts 26:12-18 // Ephesians 2:8-10 4. No one Jesus saves EVER SEES life the SAME, OLD way again. 2 Corinthians 5:17 The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.

Sunday March 30, 2025 at the Hub City Church The Ethiopian Eunuch | Acts 8:26-40 The Gospel for All | a teaching series through Acts Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes: In the gospels, Jesus teaches that the MAIN OBJECTIVE for His DISCIPLES is to FIND LOST PEOPLE in their PROXIMITY who NEED to hear the GOOD NEWS! Luke 19:10 // Matthew 9:13, 37-38 // Mark 16:15-16 // John 20:21 “…Making disciples is fairly easy. You simply bring people along in your spiritual journey. Making disciples is more about intentionality than technique: Discipleship means teaching others to read the Bible the way you read it, pray the way you pray, and tell people about Jesus the way you do. If you have Christian habits in your life worth imitating, you can be a disciple-maker. It doesn't require years of training. You just teach others to follow Christ as you follow Him.” — J.D. Greear The Ethiopian Eunuch - Portrait of Newborn Christian: 1. HUNGRY to KNOW GOD 2. HUMBLED to CONFESS the NEED for HELP 3. A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING of the GOSPEL 4. REPENTANT FAITH resulting in BAPTISM and JOY The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.

Sunday March 23, 2025 at the Hub City Church Simon the Magician | Acts 8:9-25 The Birth of the Church | a teaching series through Acts Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes: In the gospels, JESUS consistently WARNS that there is a kind of ‘NOMINAL' BELIEF that is NOT the same as GENUINE NEW BIRTH. Matthew 7:21-23 // John 2:23-25 // Matthew 13:3,5-6, 20-21 // Matthew 13:24-30 // John 6:60-70 “We know, from Jesus Himself, that there are people who can be in the church but not of the church. We know there are unsaved “Christians.” And we know that Jesus will not be fooled, even if the rest of us pretend to be.” — Dean Inserra Simon Magus: Portrait of an ‘Unsaved Christian': 1) DESIROUS of the PRAISE of MAN 2) More interested in the BENEFITS of the CHURCH than of CHRIST 3) SKEWED UNDERSTANDING of the GOSPEL 4) Deficient REPENTANCE The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.

Sunday March 16, 2025 at the Hub City Church God's Sovereign Grace in Persecution | Acts 8:1-8 The Birth of the Church | a teaching series through Acts Sermon by Jason Koh | Elder Sermon Notes: Acts 8:1-8 Matthew 8:12 Matthew 13:42 “The fires…in the olden days never made martyrs; they revealed them. No hurricane of persecution ever creates martyrs; it reveals them. Stephen was a martyr before they stoned him. He was the first martyr to seal his testimony with his blood.” – Dr. George Campbell Morgan Persecution may SCATTER the CHURCH, but the GOSPEL will not be SILENCED. Matthew 5:10-12 1 Corinthians 2:8 Genesis 50:20 Persecution FULFILLS the GREAT COMMISSION. Matthew 28:18-20 Acts 1:8 Acts 8:1, 4-5 Romans 1:6 Job 42:2 Isaiah 46:9-10 Persecution reminds us of our ETERNAL HOPE in Jesus. John 15:18-20 2 Corinthians 4:17 Persecution for the cause of CHRIST is a reason for REJOICING.

Sunday March 9, 2025 at the Hub City Church Stephen's Speech & Martyrdom | Acts 6:8-7:60 The Birth of the Church | a teaching series through Acts Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes: MARTYRS, as those who WILLINGLY DIE for the CAUSE of CHRIST, should be seen as HEROES of the faith for the CHURCH to EMULATE. “It is not the pain but the purpose that makes a martyr.” — St. Augustine 2 Corinthians 13:5 How to Become a Faithful Martyr: - GUARD the INTEGRITY of your LIFE. Acts 6:3 - MAKE faithful SERVICE to GOD and OTHERS your MOTIVATION.

Sunday March 2, 2025 at the Hub City Church Good Things, Bad Things and the Main Thing | Acts 5:12-42 The Birth of the Church | a teaching series through Acts Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes: From the beginning, Jesus' church has been marked by a BLEND of AMAZING things, DIFFICULT things, and an unwavering FOCUS on the MAIN thing. We praise God when things go well… When SINNERS BELIEVE the gospel (Luke 15:7) When TRUE MINISTRY is LIVED OUT among us (1 Thessalonians 1:2-8) When He DELIVERS us from TRIALS (2 Corinthians 1:10) We expect to encounter challenging things… Because PEOPLE will SIN against us (Matthew 6:14-15) Because the ENEMY will FIGHT against us (1 Peter 5:8) Because TRIALS will often PERPLEX us (2 Corinthians 4:8-9) “I have learned to kiss the wave that throws me against the rock of ages.” — Charles Spurgeon Through it all, we don't give up on the main thing. We keep PROCLAIMING the message of CHRIST (Colossians 1:28-29) We STICK TOGETHER with the body of Christ (Philippians 1:27) No matter what, we KEEP REJOICING that we BELONG to Christ (Matthew 5:11-12) The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.

Sunday February 23, 2025 at the Hub City Church The Fearful Example of Barnabas v. Ananias | Acts 4:32-5:11 The Birth of the Church | a teaching series through Acts Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes: The good news of the great GOSPEL EXCHANGE is that while we all DESERVE DEATH and eternal SEPARATION from God, those in Christ receive FORGIVENESS of SIN and eternal LIFE with God INSTEAD! Romans 1:29-32, 6:23, 8:6-9, 13 // Ephesians 2:4-5 “The Lord Christ comes to convinced sinners with His invitation: “Poor creatures! How sad is your condition! What has become of the beauty and glory of the image of God in which you were created? You are now in the deformed image of Satan and even worse, eternal misery lies before you. Yet look up once more; behold Me! I will put Myself in your place. I will bear that burden of guilt and punishment which would sink you to hell for ever. I will be made temporarily a curse for you, that you may have eternal blessedness.” — John Owen The gospel radically CHANGES ALL who receive it into people who FREELY OVERFLOW with GENEROSITY to others, especially FELLOW MEMBERS of God's redeemed FAMILY. 2 Corinthians 8:9, 9:6-8 SOMETIMES, God allows His coming WRATH on UNREPENTANT SINNERS to be poured out SOONER than expected as a fearful REMINDER to others that FAITH really is a matter of LIFE and DEATH. Ref. Leviticus 10:1-7 // Joshua 7:1 // 2 Samuel 6:6-7 The shocking divine execution of Ananias and Saphira is a reminder to us: - To SPEAK the TRUTH with one another. (Eph. 4:24-25) - That salvation is by GRACE through FAITH, NOT by WORKS. (Eph. 2:8-10) - To CONFESS and REPENT of KNOWN SIN. (Acts 3:19 // 1 Jn. 1:9 // Prov. 28:13) The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.

Sunday February 16, 2025 at the Hub City Church Resistance to the Resistance | Acts 4:1-31 The Birth of the Church | a teaching series through Acts Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes: “Christians are persecuted for the sake of righteousness because of their loyalty to Christ. Real loyalty to Him creates friction in the hearts of those who pay Him only lip service. Loyalty arouses their consciences, and leaves them with only two alternatives: follow Christ, or silence Him. Often their only way of silencing Christ is by silencing His servants. Persecution, in subtle or less subtle forms, is the result.” — Sinclair Ferguson OBEDIENCE to the Great Commission always invites OPPOSITION because the gospel has ENEMIES — both SECULAR and RELIGIOUS. Matthew 10:16-18 // John 15:18-20 // 2 Timothy 3:12 While PERSECUTION is to be EXPECTED, the only OFFENSE Christians should CAUSE is the offense of CHRIST as SAVIOR and LORD. 1 Peter 2:19-20, 3:13-18, 4:14-16 // 1 Corinthians 1:23 The church must always remain RESOLVED to meet gospel RESISTANCE with bold PERSISTENCE, not passive ACQUIESCENCE. Ephesians 6:19-20 // 2 Timothy 1:7 If the church is to remain faithful in WITNESS, we must continually PLEAD for EMPOWERMENT from our SOVEREIGN GOD. Luke 11:13 // John 15:4-5, 7 The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.

Sunday February 2, 2025 at the Hub City Church Family Photo | Acts 2:42-47 The Birth of the Church | a teaching series through Acts Sermon by David Snelling | Deacon Sermon Notes: Matthew 28:19-20 Acts 2:42-47 The local church is built up of Spirit filled disciples committed to the Lord: TOGETHER 2 Peter 2:1-2, Ephesians 4:11-16 “We pay a price to give our lives to a real community. We lose some of our space, time, and freedom to do as we please. But the Bible tells us to submit to one another. That requires us to adjust, to fit in, to always look for the win/win… Scripture is clear. Christians have to choose between isolation, which is easy, and belonging, which is costly – and much more satisfying. Here is why our belonging to a church matters so much to God. We are living stones in the spiritual temple that He is building in the world today. He wants to dwell among His people, and we as living stones find ourselves when we are built into the spiritual temple. There is no churchless Christianity in the Bible. We individualistic Americans need to face that. God is building a new community, and it's worth belonging to.” – Ray Ortlund Those who BELONG TO the Church of Jesus Christ, BELONG WITH the church of Jesus Christ. Galatians 4:4-7, John 13:34 The local church should understand and reflect this great truth: That our LIVES are nor our OWN, but EXIST for the GLORIFICATION of Jesus and the SPREADING of His message – in UNITY with one ANOTHER. 1 John 5:14, Psalm 34:14, Hebrews 10:19-25, Galatians 2:20 The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.

Sunday January 26, 2025 at the Hub City Church Peter's Gospel | Acts 2:14-41 The Birth of the Church | a teaching series through Acts Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes: "There is no better evangelist in the world than the Holy Spirit. But the Holy Spirit does not work apart from the preaching of the gospel. It is through the faithful declaration of the Word of God that the Spirit draws men to Christ.” — D.L. Moody mportant Take-Aways from Peter's Gospel Presentation: 1) The book of Acts reveals that for the GOSPEL to go FORWARD, it must do so not merely with ‘ACTS,' but also with ‘ADDRESSES' — not just GOOD WORKS completed, but TRUE WORDS spoken. Romans 10:14-17 // John 17:17-20 // Mark 16:15-16 2) Christians and their CLAIMS aren't CRAZY or IRRATIONAL - they're based on a LOT of PROPHECY FULFILLED in HISTORY. Luke 24:27 // 1 Peter 1:10-12 3) Saving faith observed has at least four clear components… - Undeniable, HEART-level CONVICTION that cannot be IGNORED. John 16:8 - CONFESSION and REPENTANCE of personal SIN as the primary PROBLEM in life, which must be RECONCILED. Luke 13:1-5 - Specific TRUST in the perfect LIFE, atoning DEATH, and triumphant RESURRECTION of Jesus Christ, the divine Son of GOD and sovereign LORD of heaven and earth. Romans 10:9-10 - A DESIRE to be BAPTIZED as a public PROFESSION of faith and the first step of practical OBEDIENCE in a LIFE of following Jesus.

Sunday January 19, 2025 at the Hub City Church The Arrival of the Spirit | Acts 2:1-13 The Birth of the Church | a teaching series through Acts Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes: Matthew 25:14-30 The HOLY SPIRIT was given to Jesus' CHURCH for one primary reason: That they might powerfully DECLARE and DISPLAY His mighty GOSPEL-WORKS to EVERYONE in the world! “The ‘gift' or ‘baptism' of the Spirit, one of the distinctive blessings of the new covenant, is a universal blessing for members of the new covenant, because it is an initial blessing. It is part and parcel to belonging to the new age. The Lord Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant and the bestower of its blessings, gives both the forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Spirit to all who enter his covenant. Further, baptism with water is the sign and seal of baptism with the Spirit, as much as it is of the forgiveness of sins. Water-baptism is the initiatory Christian rite, because Spirit-baptism is the initiatory Christian experience.” — John Stott From the Spirit's Arrival at Pentecost, we see: 1) The GIFT of the Holy Spirit is for ALL BELIEVERS, to EMPOWER them for MISSION. Joel 2:28-29 // 1 Corinthians 12:4-7,11 // 1 Thessalonians 1:4-5 2) While we can't CALCULATE the MOVEMENTS of the Spirit, they are CALCULATED. John 3:8 // Acts 8:26-29, 10:19-20, 11:11-15, 13:2-4, 16:6-7, 14 3) The Holy Spirit can OVERCOME any BARRIER and use ANYBODY to REACH anybody. Ref.

Sunday January 12, 2025 at the Hub City Church Lessons of PRAYER from the Newborn Church | Acts 1:12-26 The Birth of the Church | a teaching series through Acts Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes: “Prayer assumes the sovereignty of God. If God is not sovereign, we have no assurance that He is able to answer our prayers. Our prayers would become nothing more than wishes. But while God's sovereignty, along with his wisdom and love, is the foundation of our trust in Him, prayer is the expression of that trust.” — Jerry Bridges 1. The gospel and the promises of God should not DIMINISH our PRAYERFULNESS but ENERGIZE it! John 14:12-14 // Philippians 4:6 // // James 5:16-18 2. UNIFIED prayerfulness has been a FOUNDATIONAL aspect of the church's MISSION since its INCEPTION. Acts 2:42, 4:24, 6:6, 12:5, 14:23 3. CORPORATE prayer is particularly FITTING as the church enters a new SEASON with NEED for God's DIRECTION. Acts 13:2-3 // Ezra 8:21-23 // Nehemiah 9:1-3 // 2 Chronicles 20:3-4 4. Seeking God's WILL in prayer should always involve 3 key elements: SCRIPTURE, WISDOM, and the GUIDANCE of the HOLY SPIRIT.

Sunday December 15, 2024 at the Hub City Church How to Have a Fulfilling Christmas | Luke 1:46:55 Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes: The most important means of CELEBRATING ‘Christmas' is NOT giving GIFTS to ONE ANOTHER; it is attempting to EXPRESS our awe and humble GRATITUDE for GOD'S inexpressible GIFT, through SINGING. 1. Singing EXISTS because some REALITIES are too WONDERFUL for God-CONSCIOUS beings to KNOW and merely TALK about. Genesis 2:23 // Exodus 15:1-2 // 1 Samuel 2:1 // Romans 11:33-36 2. Because Christians know God, there are ENDLESS OPPORTUNITIES to SING about His glorious CHARACTER and WORKS. Psalm 47:6-7, 66:2, 147:1 3. Upon HEARING the NEWS of God's merciful PROVISION of the promised SAVIOR, Mary and the multitude of ANGELS alike burst forth in SONG. WE should too! Luke 2:10-14 // Luke 2:28-32 // Colossians 3:16 “Christian singing is the musical use of the voice to express truth that accords with God's word, and feelings that accord with God's worth. It is a gift beyond measuring." — John Piper The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.

Because there's a fundamental connection between our spiritual lives and how we think about and handle money. We may try to divorce our faith and our finances, but God sees them as inseparable.” — Randy Alcorn “There are three conversions: the conversion of the heart, mind and purse.” — Martin Luther Christian married couples ASSESS their FINANCIAL RESOURCES in light of the GOSPEL so that they might STEWARD them for KINGDOM ADVANCEMENT!

Is it a matter of SIN? Romans 3:20 // Proverbs 19:11 Proverbs 17:9 2. Always ASSUME the BEST of one another. 1 Corinthians 13:7 3. QUICKLY and GENTLY confront the issue for the purpose of RECONCILIATION. Galatians 6:1 // Ephesians 4:30-32 ”When either husband or wife is fallen into any sin, a mutual duty it is for the other to use what redress may be of that sin; as if one of them were wounded, the other must take care for the healing of that wound.” – William Gouge 4. MEDITATE on the GOSPEL and FORGIVE as Jesus FORGIVES. “A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers.” – Ruth Bell Graham Colossians 2:13-14 // Colossians 3:12-14 // Ephesians 6:12 Other Considerations on Forgiveness: Forgiveness is not EXCUSING SIN. Forgiveness is not FORGETTING. Forgiveness is purposed to DISPLAY the GOSPEL for the GLORY of GOD.

Tim Keller's 4 Aspects of Marital Friendship: 1. CONSTANCY - RELIABILITY Proverbs 17:17 // Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 2. CANDOR - TRANSPARENCY Ephesians 4:15 // Proverbs 27:6, 9, 17 3. COMPANIONSHIP - DISCOVERY (‘Fun') Ecclesiastes 9:9 // Proverbs 5:18-19 // Song of Solomon 2:10,14,16 4. COMMON VISION - CHRISTIANITY 2 Corinthians 6:14 // Philippians 1:27 “The picture that the Bible draws of spiritual friendship is remarkable. Christian friendship is not simply about going to concerts together or enjoying the same sporting event. It is the deep oneness that develops as two people journey together toward the same destination, helping one another through the dangers and challenges along the way.” — Tim Keller The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.

Sunday November 17, 2024 at the Hub City Church   1: FAITH | Ephesians 5:21-33   The 5 F's of a Fulfilling Marriage   Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor   Sermon Notes:   "The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.” — Tim Keller   The most critical contribution to a fulfilling marriage is to find ULTIMATE FULFILLMENT in your FAITH, NOT in your MARRIAGE.   How FAITH Functions in Good and Godly Marriages:   1. God DESIGNED marriage as the FUNDAMENTAL building block of human SOCIETY and a profound REFLECTION of the GOSPEL.   To acknowledge God as God and then seek to live as He has prescribed is an act of FAITH!   Matthew 19:4-6 // Genesis 2:24 // Ephesians 5:31-32   2. Marriage is a LIFELONG COVENANT relationship that will entail A LOT of SINNING and SUFFERING.   It requires FAITH to admit and endure this!   1 Peter 3:1-2, 7 // 1 Corinthians 13:7   3. The main PRACTICAL use of marriage is TEMPORARY: COMPANIONSHIP in a life of SANCTIFICATION and MISSION on our way to the marriage SUPPER of the LAMB.   Only FAITH can hear this and be filled with unshakable joy!   Matthew 22:30 // Revelation 19:6-9   The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.   Join us next Sunday at 10am. 837 W James Lee Blvd, Crestview, FL 32536.

Because when I get to heaven, the first face that shall ever gladden my sight will be that of my Savior.'" - Fanny Crosby   Matthew 7:13-14   Gods Word is the MAP, the GUIDE, the LIGHT to Christian life and Christian faith   John 4:23-24 // John 17:17   According to the Word: God GRACIOUSLY PURSUES lost sinners to call them His OWN.   Luke 15:1-4 // Ezekiel 34:11   According to the Word: it is a REAL RELATIONSHIP with God that determines our FUTURE with God.   John 14:15 // 1 John 5:3 // Matthew 7:21-23   The PURSUIT of Christ is the ESSENCE of the Christian life: to KNOW Him more, to LOVE Him deeper, and TRUST Him fully.   Psalm 119:2 // Hebrews 11:6 // Hebrews 12:1-2   “To seek Christ does not narrow ones life, rather it brings it to the level of highest possible fulfillment.” A.W Tozer   The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.   Join us next Sunday at 10am. 837 W James Lee Blvd, Crestview, FL 32536.

We Know How the Story Ends | Daniel 10-12   Daniel: Faithfulness in Babylon   Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor   Sermon Notes:   “Daniel concludes the record of his terrifying visions and dreams on a note of joy, pointing to the coming of Christ's eternal reign of glory... Whoever wants to study them profitably dare not focus his attention on the details of the visions and dreams, but seek comfort in the Savior Jesus Christ whom they portray and in the deliverance he brings from sin and its misery.” — Martin Luther (10:1-21) Those who are in Christ are not only LIVING in but PARTICIPATING in a largely UNSEEN SPIRITUAL WAR that we are unable to ENDURE without the divine EMPOWERMENT of the God who loves us.   Ephesians 6:10-20   (11:32-36) A great CONSOLATION to believers in the midst of TRIBULATION is two-fold: It will unwittingly AID their SANCTIFICATION and it will go NO FURTHER than God ALLOWS.   Job 1:6-12 // Genesis 50:20   (12:1-13) The concluding implication of Daniel is this: Live to SHINE for CHRIST like you have NOTHING to LOSE in this world because in the END, you WON'T!   Philippians 1:21-23 // Galatians 2:20   The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.   Join us next Sunday at 10am. 837 W James Lee Blvd, Crestview, FL 32536.

Sunday October 13, 2024 at the Hub City Church Weird, Scary Stuff is Coming | Daniel 7:1-28 Daniel: Faithfulness in Babylon Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes Biblical APOCALYPTIC prophecy is more about theological COMFORT and spiritual PREPAREDNESS than chronological CERTAINTY. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 // Acts 1:6-8 Over and ABOVE all of the EVIL powers at work in human history, we have a SOVEREIGN GOD who is in CONTROL and who will bring perfect JUDGEMENT to pass. Revelation 11:15-18 // 2 Thessalonians 1:4-10 “To say that God is sovereign is to declare that He is the Almighty, the Possessor of all power in heaven and earth, so that none can defeat His counsels, thwart His purpose, or resist His will.” — A.W. Pink There will come a day when the world's satanic REBELLION against God will CULMINATE into a CRISIS point for God's people; the most powerful rulers of the world will WAGE WAR against the church - but then JESUS shows up to SAVE them by decisively ENDING the war and to set up His ETERNAL Kingdom.

Sunday September 29, 2024 at the Hub City Church The Writing on the Wall | Daniel 5:1-31 Daniel: Faithfulness in Babylon Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes Lessons Learned from the Son of Nebuchadnezzar: FATHERS are a BLESSING to their children if they are willing to SEE it - either as MODELS to EMULATE, or as EXAMPLES to AVOID. Often, they are BOTH - teaching us through their successes and failures. 1 Corinthians 10:11-12 We ALL have precious VESSELS of God under our STEWARDSHIP - the question is HOW we will USE them. Galatians 6:7-8 // Romans 9:21-23 // 2 Timothy 2:20-21 // 2 Corinthians 4:7 The WRITING is not just on the WALL in another language, it's in the BOOK in our own language: our DAYS are NUMBERED and apart from CHRIST, we'll be found WANTING. “If you say, “The last thing I want to hear about in my troubled [life] is the wrath of God,” you are like a frustrated fisherman on the western coast of Indonesia on December 26, 2004, saying, “The last thing I want to hear about in my troubled fishing business is a tsunami.” — John Piper Isaiah 64:6 // Romans 3:23-24 // Romans 4:23-25 “I'm glad we are saved by grace and not by good works because I don't want to sit in heaven and listen to everybody brag for eternity about how they got there.” — D.L. Moody TODAY could be your LAST chance to REPENT.

Sunday September 22, 2024 at the Hub City Church The Destruction of Pride | Daniel 4:1-37 Daniel: Faithfulness in Babylon Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes Lessons Learned from the New Nebuchadnezzar: There are invisible SPIRITUAL REALITIES that must be understood and ACCEPTED not only for an accurate WORLDVIEW but also for a right RELATIONSHIP with the GOD who made the WORLD. (And deep down, we ALL know it.) Romans 1:19-20 // Psalm 14:1 The PRIDE of unrepentant SIN leads people to do stupid, crazy, ANIMALISTIC things, bringing their lives to SPIRITUAL and sometimes PHYSICAL RUIN. Psalm 32:9, 49:20 // Proverbs 26:11 God will MERCIFULLY ALLOW His people to HIT ROCK-BOTTOM in this life if that is what it takes for them to REPENT and HUMBLE themselves before Him. “A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.” — C.S. Lewis Matthew 5:3-5 // Romans 5:8 There is NO one too FAR from God or too DEEP in their SIN to be SAVED by His grace. 1 Timothy 1:15-16 // Isaiah 1:18 // Psalm 103:11-12 The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.

Sunday September 15, 2024 at the Hub City Church Images of Gold | Daniel 3:1-30 Daniel: Faithfulness in Babylon Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes [v.1-7] The spirit of Babylon INSISTS that we BOW down to worship ANY image except the RIGHT one: the image of the INVISIBLE God, Jesus Christ. Isaiah 44:6-10, 13-19 // Matthew 4:8-10 [v.8-18] If Christians are going to faithfully REFUSE to bow to idols, there may come a time where they must STAND ALONE and be WILLING to DIE. Mark 8:34-38 // Matthew 10:28 [v.19-25] Sometimes Jesus SAVES His people OUT of life's FIRES so that others would SEE that He is MIGHTY to save; other times, He ALLOWS them to DIE that others might SEE His WORTHINESS of our TRUST, even unto DEATH. “It is not our trust in God that keeps us from troubles, but our trust in God that keeps us in troubles.” — Richard Sibbes Philippians 1:20-21 // 2 Timothy 4:17-18 [v.26-30] Ultimately, Jesus both STOOD ALONE in righteousness as none of us could and took the FIERY WRATH of God that we deserved so that we could bow before His CROSS in FAITH and be PROMOTED to REIGN with Him in His eternal Kingdom.

Sunday August 25, 2024 at the Hub City Church Resisting the Spirit of Babylon | Daniel 1:1-21 Daniel: Faithfulness in Babylon Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes The greatest DANGER for BABYLON is not living in IT PHYSICALLY, but its SUBTLE and SEDUCTIVE attempts to live in US SPIRITUALLY. 1 Corinthians 5:11 “Though we do not share all of the world's conclusions, too often we think about everything in the same way and operate with the same value system— how many of us would rather die for the glory of God than live halfheartedly for Him in a measure of comfort?” — Sinclair Ferguson The demonic kingdom of Babylon wants to cause Christians to forget God with a process of systematic reprogramming: 1. ISOLATING them. Proverbs 18:1 // 1 Peter 5:8 2. INDOCTRINATING them. Colossians 2:8 // Romans 12:2 3. RE-IDENTIFYING them. 1 John 3:2 // 2 Corinthians 5:20 4. INTOXICATING them. Ephesians 5:18 // 1 Peter 1:13 Daniel's example teaches us: There is usually a way to COEXIST PEACEABLY in Babylon while DEYING it's INFLUENCE at the HEART level BUT it takes WISDOM to DISCERN and then DETERMINATION to IMPLEMENT. John 17:14-15 // Ephesians 5:7-10 While God does NOT promise to PROTECT us from EXPERIENCING SUFFERING, He does promise to PRESERVE and PROVIDE for us THROUGH it. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 We not only need FAITHFUL exilic EXAMPLES to follow, we need PERFECT FAITHFULNESS LIVED out FOR US.

Sunday August 18, 2024 at the Hub City Church The Mercy of God's Judgment | Daniel 1:1-2 Daniel: Faithfulness in Babylon Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes BABYLON, though a REAL historical PLACE, becomes SYMBOLIC in scripture for ‘the KINGDOM of MEN' who DESIRE to live OUTSIDE of the good and gracious RULE of GOD. Genesis 11:1-9 // 1 Peter 5:13 // Revelation 18:10,21 ISRAEL'S time in Babylonian CAPTIVITY is a TESTAMENT to the FACT that God is FAITHFUL to exact JUDGMENT on SIN as He has PROMISED. Leviticus 26:14-17, 21-22, 33 // 2 Kings 20:12-18 The book of Daniel REVEALS that God is SOVEREIGNLY at work to be MERCIFUL to His people, EVEN amidst their SIN'S consequences. Jeremiah 29:4-14 // Psalm 119:67, 75 // Hebrews 12:5-7 // Romans 11:25, 30-32 The good news in Old Testament terms is, for those who HUMBLY recognize and REPENT of their SINFUL AFFINITY for Babylon, there is ONE who TOOK the fullness of divine JUDGMENT they DESERVED and who will PRESERVE them throughout the time of their EXILE! 1 Peter 1:13, 17-19 // Jeremiah 23:5-8, 24:4-7 “God really loves us and wants us to turn away from our sins. If He passed final judgment now, we would have no such opportunity; that would be the end of time for us. He has sufficient provocation to do so; that we recognize. We have sinned enough to deserve His infinite wrath at any moment, but we do not receive it. We have an opportunity, therefore, to turn away from our sin and to turn to God. Instead of continuing to offend Him, we can plead for forgiveness and seek to please Him. While there is yet life, that is possible.” — John Gerstner The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.

Sunday August 11, 2024 at the Hub City Church Jesus is King | Jesus is Everything Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes Matthew 6:9-10 Genesis 1:28 THE PROBLEM underneath all other problems in the universe is that CREATION is out of SYNC with the RULE and REIGN of GOD. Psalm 10:16, 29:10, 47:2, 74:12, 95:3 // Deuteronomy 33:5 // Isaiah 43:15 Matthew 1:1 // Isaiah 9:2, 6-7 The hope of the gospel is not only ‘INDIVIDUALISTIC' in that Jesus came to save us from our sin, it is ‘COSMIC'- Jesus came to make ALL things new! Ephesians 1:16-23 // Revelation 21:1-6 “Many Christians today think of salvation as leaving earth for heaven, but the story of Scripture is quite the opposite. The message of the kingdom of God is not an escape from earth to heaven but God's reign coming down from heaven to earth. The focus of God's reign is his people, but the scope of God's reign is all of creation.” — Jeremy Treat 1 Corinthians 2:9 We live in light of Jesus' Kingship not only by seeking to live in MORAL RIGHTEOUSNESS (the ETHICS of the Kingdom) but by living on MISSION (heralding the MESSAGE of the Kingdom!)

Sunday August 4, 2024 at the Hub City Church Jesus is Lord | Jesus is Everything Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes Luke 6:46-49 John 13:13 Jesus consistently teaches that there is no form of genuine faith in which He is RECEIVED as SAVIOR but REJECTED as LORD. Romans 10:9 // Philippians 2:9-10 “No single piece of our mental world is to be hermetically sealed off from the rest, and there is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry: “Mine!” — Abraham Kuyper Matthew 7:21 Living under Jesus' Lordship is: SUBMISSION to Him as our loving MASTER who it is not only RIGHT but WISE for us to OBEY. John 14:15 // James 1:22-25 AND AFFIRMATION that He is THE sovereign GOD in CONTROL of ALL THINGS. Luke 7:1-10 // Colossians 1:16-17 FAITH-fueled OBEDIENCE to the Lord Jesus GENERATES internal STABILITY in this life and PEACE regarding the life to come!

Sunday July 28, 2024 at the Hub City Church Jesus is Savior | Jesus is Everything Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes Luke 19:1-10 We need a Savior because: Our SIN gets us hopelessly LOST, spiritually. Romans 1:21-22, 28, 3:10-12 // Ephesians 2:1-3 In our sin, we don't DESERVE to have FELLOWSHIP with God. Ezekiel 18:4 Jesus is the perfect Savior because: He PURSUES US when we are FAR from Him. Luke 15:4-7 His MERCY and KINDNESS leads us to REPENTANCE. Matthew 9:9-13 “If the death of Christ on the cross is the true meaning of the Incarnation, then there is no gospel without the cross. Christmas by itself is no gospel. The life of Christ is no gospel. Even the resurrection, important as it is in the total scheme of things, is no gospel by itself. For the good news is not just that God became man, nor that God has spoken to reveal a proper way of life for us, or even that death, the great enemy, is conquered. Rather, the good news is that sin has been dealt with (of which the resurrection is a proof); that Jesus has suffered its penalty for us as our representative, so that we might never have to suffer it; and that therefore all who believe in Him can look forward to heaven.” — James Montgomery Boice Salvation looks like: Genuine EFFORT given to SEEING Jesus, REGARDLESS of how PEOPLE may SEE us. JOYFUL RECEPTION of Jesus into one's life on HIS TERMS. Intimate TIME SPENT with Jesus that leads to ongoing REPENTANCE and CHANGE.

Sunday July 21, 2024 at the Hub City Church The Portrait of a Deacon | Church 101: Deacons Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes 1 Timothy 3:8-13 Acts 6:3 When it comes to church leadership, CHARACTER is to be PRIORITIZED over COMPETENCY. “We almost think it needs a better man to make a good deacon than a good minister. We who preach the word go first, and this pleases human nature; [but] grace is needed to make older, wealthier, and often wiser men go second and keep their place without envyings and bickering's: thousands do this, and are to be honored for it.” — Charles Spurgeon While scripture is clear that the role of ELDER is reserved for MEN; depending on the translation of a couple of key texts - WOMEN can *DEFINITELY MAYBE* fill the role of DEACON. Romans 16:1 // 1 Timothy 3:11 Regardless of what Deacons DO, Deacons are to BE: 1. Self-CONTROLLED in their SPEECH, APPETITES and FINANCIAL dealings. Ref. Ephesians 4:29, 5:5, 5:18 2. CLEAR in their UNDERSTANDING of the GOSPEL and in their COMMITMENT to SELFLESSLY SERVE the church. 1 Timothy 5:21-22, 24-25 3. FAITHFUL to LOVE and LEAD their FAMILIES well.

Sunday July 14, 2024 at the Hub City Church The NEED for 'Lead Servants' | Church 101: Deacons Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes Recap: 1 Timothy 3:14-15 Mark 10:45 // Luke 22:26 The primary need for ‘deacons' is the need for EVERY BELIEVER to RECKON THEMSELVES a SERVANT of OTHERS, in Christ (especially within their church family!) Philippians 1:1 // 1 Timothy 3:8 The Acts 6 Model: 1) The ‘official' role of Deacon exists because there are TASKS CRITICAL to EFFECTIVE gospel MINISTRY to which Elders CANNOT afford to give their TIME and ENERGY. 1 Corinthians 12:14-18 2) Deacons are needed because the faithful ADMINISTRATION of the various MINISTRIES of the CHURCH is a role that often ENTAILS CARE and BUILDS UNITY. 3) Deacons are critical because without their fulfillment of the church's PRACTICAL NEEDS, the very MISSION of the church may be HINDERED. Romans 16:1-4,6,12 “A deacon's work is often quiet but its effect is profound… There is an inseparable link between the labor of a deacon and the flourishing of the word. Public ministry is impossible without private service. Had the seven (in Acts 6) not freed the Apostle to focus on teaching and prayer, the gospel would not have spread.” — Matt Smethhurst The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the Glory of God.

Sunday July 7, 2024 at the Hub City Church The Importance of Order in the Local Church | Church 101: Deacons Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes “Too often Christians today have only two gears in their theological bike: essential and unimportant. If something is not essential for salvation, it is treated as unimportant and therefore dismissible. But the Bible presents us with a number of matters that are not essential for salvation but which nonetheless are important, even necessary, for obedience to God's Word. And these commands are not arbitrary. Obeying them bears good fruit. Questions of polity and organization fall into this category. In the life of a local church, they can sometimes become crucially important for the church's health and even survival.” — Mark Dever Titus 1:5 // Colossians 2:5 // 1 Corinthians 14:40 If God has a good DESIGN for ALL THINGS in CREATION, how much MORE for His SINGULAR VEHICLE of REDEMPTION - the CHURCH? Exodus 25:8-9 The ORDINANCES - Baptism: The way into the Church / Lord's Supper: Constant Gospel reminders Matthew 28:19 // 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 The WORD - The content of teaching for Christian doctrine and living 2 Timothy 3:16-17 // 2 Peter 1:3-4 // Isaiah 55:10-11 The GATHERING - Corporate worship, prayer and fellowship 1 Timothy 4:13 // 1 Corinthians 16:1-2 // Acts 2:42 // Colossians 3:16 // Hebrews 10:24-45 The LEADERS - Elders: Teachers / Deacons: Servant-leaders Ref. 1 Timothy 3 The church is the ‘HOUSEHOLD of God' and just as the GOOD ORDER of our HOMES WITNESSES to the GLORY of GOD, so too with the church!

Romans 7:18-23 // Galatians 5:17, 25 “The evidence of being a Christian is not that there are no tactical defeats in the war, but that you keep fighting till the promised victory is given. That's the evidence of being a Christian.” — John Piper Though Christians are INWARDLY PROTECTED by the SPIRIT from APOSTASY and DEMONIC CONTROL, they are still CAPABLE of IDOLATRY when not vigilantly TENDING to their HEARTS. Colossians 3:5 Hebrews 3:12-14 // Ephesians 5:15-17 // Proverbs 4:23 LIFELONG, faithful ‘ABIDING in CHRIST' requires VISIBILITY and VULNERABILITY for the sake of loving ACCOUNTABILITY and INTERCESSORY PRAYER from our CHURCH family!

Sunday June 23, 2024 at the Hub City Church Believing the Testimony of God | 1 John 5:6-13 | A Series About Abiding in Christ Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes God Himself has given a perfectly sufficient testimony regarding the reality of eternal life: 1) Jesus' SUBSTITUTIONARY LIFE (the WATER) and ATONING DEATH (the BLOOD) are the historical, external testimony that MUST be RECEIVED by faith for salvation. Hebrews 2:17, 4:15 // Romans 5:19, 4:5 // Matthew 3:13-17 Ref. John 6:54 // Matthew 26:28 // Romans 3:25 // Romans 5:9 // Ephesians 1:7 //Ephesians 2:13 //Colossians 1:19-20 // Hebrews 9:12 // Hebrews 9:14 // Hebrews 9:22 // Hebrews 10:19 // 1 Peter 1:18-19 // 1 John 1:7 // Revelation 1:5 // Revelation 5:9 // Revelation 12:11 “As we come to Christ, empty-handed, claiming no merit of our own, but clinging by faith to His blood and righteousness, we are justified. We pass immediately from a state of condemnation and spiritual death to a state of pardon, acceptance, and the sure hope of eternal life. Our sins are blotted out, and we are “clothed” with the righteousness of Jesus Christ. In our standing before God, we will never be more righteous, even in heaven, than we were the day we trusted Christ, or we are now. Obviously in our daily experience we fall far short of the perfect righteousness God requires. But because He has imputed to us the perfect righteousness of His Son, He now sees us as being just as righteous as Christ Himself.” — Jerry Bridges 2) The HOLY SPIRIT is the experiential, internal testimony that URGES us to TRUST in the PERSON and WORK of Jesus. John 16:7-8, 13-14 CONFIDENCE in salvation can be attained, NOT by scrutinizing what WE have done, but by simply asking, “Do I BELIEVE the TRUTH of what GOD in CHRIST has DONE?” The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.
