It is theologically rich. Some parts are not easily interpreted.Question: So, exactly what is Paul's argument? What's the main idea?

South Side Baptist ChurchAbbeville, South CarolinaPastor Joel BradberryMarch 23, 2025Sunday AM Servicehttps://www.southsideabbeville.comSermon Notes:AfflictionActs 7:10–11Acts 20:232 Corinthians 1:42 Corinthians 1:82 Corinthians 4:171 Thessalonians 1:61 Thessalonians 3:32 Thessalonians 1:4James 1:27TribulationMatthew 13:21Matthew 24:9Mark 13:24John 16:33Acts 14:22Revelation 7:14Tribulation= trouble brought about by outward circumstances that inflict distressMain Point: We are told here to be patient during tribulation.How God has Equipped us to Abide in Tribulation:(1) Constantly PrayLife is war. That's not all it is. But it is always that. Our weakness in prayer is owing largely to our neglect of this truth. Prayer is primarily a wartime walkie-talkie for the mission of the church as it advances against the powers of darkness and unbelief. It is not surprising that prayer malfunctions when we try to make it a domestic intercom to call upstairs for more comforts in the den. God has given us prayer as a wartime walkie-talkie so that we can call headquarters for everything we need as the kingdom of Christ advances in the world. Prayer gives us the significance of frontline forces and gives God the glory of a limitless Provider. The one who gives the power gets the glory.-John Piper, Let the Nations be GladHebrews 4:14–16(2) Rejoice in hope!Revelation 13:7–10Titus 2:11–13

South Side Baptist ChurchAbbeville, South CarolinaPastor Joel BradberryMarch 9, 2025Sunday AM Servicehttps://www.southsideabbeville.comSermon Notes:Romans 12:10Law and Gospel: We must always distinguish between law and gospel.The law:-Mirror-Curb-GuideA paraphrase: “Regarding your love for your church family—let your love for each member be as affectionate as or more so than your love for your blood relatives. As for honoring one another—be the best at putting others first.”Sermon Idea: Like Christ, we will love our brothers deeply and put them first.Philadelphia= “brotherly affection”In the New Testament, it's used either of actually blood brothers or Christian brothers/sisters. So we can paraphrase it as “love for the church family.”To outdo one another in showing honor means just that!One paraphrase says “Practice playing second fiddle.”Hebrews 2:10-18Mark 3:34Love and Honor in Our Church: A Mission Trip Kind of CultureWays love and honor are evident on mission trips1. Unity driven by the Gospel and sense of purpose2. Deep longing to be together…especially around the Word3. Prayer, transparent relationships, and common purposes4. True fellowship5. Criticism—driven by love and mission—is expected and desired6. Grow close as a family

South Side Baptist ChurchAbbeville, South CarolinaPastor Joel BradberryMarch 2, 2025Sunday AM Servicehttps://www.southsideabbeville.comSermon Notes:Sermon Idea: You know you're being transformed when love is genuineLove is genuineAgape= God's kind of loveGenuine love= anti-hypocriticalTwo actions genuine love takes:1. Genuine love abhors what is evil.Leviticus 18:22Leviticus 20:13Mark 10:6–8Romans 1:26–27Jude 1:7Genesis 19:4–5Genesis 19:13Critics cry: “What about adultery? The church doesn't get all hot and bothered about adultery.”2. Genuine love holds fast to what is good“The Good” as it relates to our cultural sexual ethic is that:1) God created two sexes—male and female“Homosexual orientation, a 19th century Freudian invention (Sigmund Freud, 1856-1939), is an unbiblical category of personhood and an antagonist to the creation ordinance because it redefines sinful desire as something thatdefines who you are rather than how you feel.” Rosaria Butterfield, Five Lies of Our Anti-Christian Age, page 122) God's created order for human flourishing is a complementarian relationship between a man and woman—marriage—until death.“Children raised apart from the care of both natural parents consistently experience lower developmental outcomes. Traditional, religious marriage norms—a lifelong, exclusive sexual union between man and woman—benefit children by establishing strong conditions that promote such care. More than any other family arrangement, marriage assures to children the care of their own mom and dad.” The Linacre Quarterly, National Institutes of Health, March 20213) God's Word is the authoritative ultimate source of truth.“See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.”Colossians 2:8What about same-sex attraction?How do we respond to loved ones who pressure us into acceptance? Empathy –vs- Sympathy“Jesus, I want to do some real thinking about what it looks like for me to cling to you, to know you, to love you and to build my theology on you and not on the Scriptures.”

South Side Baptist ChurchAbbeville, South CarolinaPastor Joel BradberryFebruary 23, 2025Sunday AM Servicehttps://www.southsideabbeville.comSermon Notes:Romans 12:1-8The diverse members of Christ's Body (the church) must function as one. Why? It's how God has designed His church to flourish. (6-8)Fruits of the SpiritTalentsSpiritual giftsContinuationists and Cessasionists1 Corinthians 13:10My position: It is my conviction that the miraculous sign gifts—normally—have ceased. {I would never put God in a box and say He can't gift gifts to a believer for His purposes.}Romans 12:6Romans 12:7Romans 12:8Comments-It's easy to see how a healthy church requires all these various graces of God in order to flourish.-Just because you may not be gifted does not necessarily exclude/excuse you from doing that activity.-It's good to pray for more spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:31)The goal is a mature, healthy body. Why? Healthy bodies flourish. Healthy bodies reproduce! Paul expounds on this in Ephesians 4:Ephesians 4:11–16“We are Christ's body on the earth—one though many members—with diverse gifts that are endowed to us by the grace of God. God has given talents to all people but He has given us grace gifts. He has equipped us to flourish in completing the task He's assigned to us. Therefore, as we are living our lives, make disciples of all the people groups around the world, baptizing them in the name of our triune God, teaching them how to live God's way—and God will supply His presence with us until Jesus returns for His church.”In light of those truths, here's the question I promised:

South Side Baptist Church Abbeville, South Carolina Pastor Joel Bradberry December 29, 2024 Sunday AM Service https://www.southsideabbeville.com Sermon Notes: Herod the King is Herod I, or Herod the Great. Wise men from the East. They saw “His star” when it arose. Herod's response was to be troubled! The wise men worship and gave Jesus gifts—gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Mary, Joseph, and Jesus end up in Nazareth of Galilee. So, what? 1. Where God guides, He provides! 2. Christian giving is a sacrificial honor to God and of great practical benefit to God's people! 3. God is sovereign in His providence. 4. Which kingdom will we pursue?

It is not out of compliment that lovers keep on telling one another how beautiful they are; the delight is incomplete till it is expressed. It is frustrating to have discovered a new author and not to be able to tell anyone how good he is; to come suddenly, at the turn of the road, upon some mountain valley of unexpected grandeur and then to have to keep silent because the people with you care for it no more than for a tin can in the ditch; to hear a good joke and find no one to share it with. . . . The Scotch catechism says that man's chief end is ‘to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.' But we shall then know that these are the same thing. Fully to enjoy is to glorify. In commanding us to glorify Him, God is inviting us to enjoy Him.” (CS Lewis, Reflections on the Psalms)

South Side Baptist Church Abbeville, South Carolina Pastor Joel Bradberry November 24, 2024 Sunday AM Service https://www.southsideabbeville.com Sermon Notes: Election: God's election of people to salvation is His eternal and sovereign choice of them to be His adopted children, not because of any foreseen merit or obedience on their part. Rather, the faith and obedience by which they, in time, enter into salvation through Christ are the result of election, not the cause of it. Two Objections to Election: 1. Election is not fair 2. Election is not rational Romans 9:21 Romans 9:22-23 Romans 9:24 Romans 8:29-30 Effectual call: Those whom God has predestinated unto life, He is pleased in His appointed, and accepted time, effectually to call, by His Word and Spirit, out of that state of sin and death in which they are by nature, to grace and salvation by Jesus Christ; enlightening their minds spiritually and savingly to understand the things of God; taking away their heart of stone, and giving to them a heart of flesh; renewing their wills, and by His almighty power determining them to that which is good, and effectually drawing them to Jesus Christ; yet so as they come most freely, being made willing by His grace. Romans 9:25-26: Hosea 1:6,8-9 Hosea 1:10 Hosea 2:21-23 Romans 9:27-29 Applications Be conformed to God and not vice-versa. Worship God for all He's worth!
