Section V: Separation We believe that all the saved should live in such a manner as to not bring reproach upon their Savior and Lord; and, that separation from all religious apostasy, all worldly and sinful pleasures, practices and associations is commanded of God. Although we believe that absolute immunity to sin takes place only when believers are taken to be with the Lord, we do realize the necessity of forsaking a habitual walk in sin (II Timothy 3:1-5, Romans 12:1- 2, Romans 14:13, I John 2:15-17, II John 9-11, II Corinthians 6:14-17, James 2:1-26, II Peter 3:18). PURPOSE: A Doctrinal Series for Heritage Bible Chapel's Sunday School, under the premise that it is vital to review and teach through our Statement of Faith (Doctrine Essentials) with some regularity to avoid “theological amnesia and spiritual myopia.” The subjects are taught using a scripture-first approach to feature highlights of our confession in a 30-minute teaching setting. Teachers are encouraged to focus on main points, work in discussion and application as appropriate, and supplement with HBC's Constitution, church history, and other resources. Care must be given to isolate the main points due to time constraints. LOCATION & TIME: This class will be located in the Sanctuary. Attendees are encouraged to begin arriving at 9:00 a.m. Teaching will start by 9:10 a.m.

Section II: God We believe in one triune God, existing in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit; co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, Who possess the same attributes and perfections yet carry out distinct offices (Deuteronomy 6:4, II Corinthians 13:14, I Peter 1:2, Matthew 28:19). We believe that God the Father is the absolute omnipotent ruler of the universe, sovereign in creation, providence, and redemption, a perfect Spirit in Whom is perfect holiness, and infinite wisdom (Psalm 99:6; 103:19, 139:7-12, 147:5, Isaiah 44:24, Malachi 3:6, Matthew 7:7-8, John 4:24, I John 4:8, Romans 11:36). We believe that Jesus Christ is the divine (John 1:1, 10:30, 38, Colossians 2:9), eternal (John 1:2), Son of God (Matthew 3:17, 8:29, 11:27, 16:16, 17:5, Mark 1:1, I John 5:9-12), that He was miraculously conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:18-23, Luke 1:34-35, Galatians 4:4), that He perfectly revealed and accomplished the will of God, taking upon Himself the demands and necessities of human nature (Philippians 2:5-8); that He identified Himself completely with mankind (John 1:14, Romans 1:3-4) yet was and remains without sin (I Peter 2:21-23, Hebrews 4:15), that He literally and vicariously died, was buried and raised from the dead (Romans 6:4, 9, I Corinthians 15:4, 20, I Thessalonians 1:10), and that He ascended to heaven (Acts 1:9), and is now exalted at the right hand of God, where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate (Romans 8:34, Hebrews 9:24, I John 2:1-2). We believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine Person, that He convicts the world of sin (John 16:8-11), helps (John 14:16-17, 26) and baptizes all believers into the body of Christ (I Corinthians 12:12-14). We believe that He is the divine Teacher (John 14:26, I John 2:27) who guides believers into truth (John 16:13), and that it is the privilege and duty of all the saved to be filled and controlled by the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18, I John 2:20). PURPOSE: A Doctrinal Series for Heritage Bible Chapel's Sunday School, under the premise that it is vital to review and teach through our Statement of Faith (Doctrine Essentials) with some regularity to avoid “theological amnesia and spiritual myopia.” The subjects are taught using a scripture-first approach to feature highlights of our confession in a 30-minute teaching setting.

Sunday, July 3, 2022. Acts 16:6-10 | "Concluding That God Had Called Us." When God does not reveal His guidance as a plan, that doesn't mean He doesn't have one. Likewise, when God frustrates our plans, it doesn't mean He isn't faithful! This text invites us to trust God's process - a process that leads to a conclusion in Christ!

Sunday, April 17, 2022. Exodus 11:1-12:30 | "The LORD's Passover" Christ is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! This Easter message leads us to Christ through Israel's preparation for the first Passover. We remember that Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed - and RAISED! So let's get ready - it's time to go! This message preaches from Exodus 11:1-12:30. The title of this sermon: "The LORD's Passover," preached on Easter Sunday 2022.

Sunday, April 10, 2022. Exodus 8:20-10:29 | "Darkness To Be Felt" We can feel the sun's light radiating on our skin on a bright summer day. Imagine that same experience with darkness rather than light! In the ninth strike before final judgment, God sent darkness upon Egypt and Pharoah that could be touched. Let's discover what this plague teaches about God's patience and promises. Could this message be your one last light? This message preaches from Exodus 10:21-29. The title of this sermon: "Darkness To Be Felt"

Sunday, April 03, 2022. Exodus 6:10-8:19 | "Great Acts of Judgment" How will a person know God? It is a fearful and fateful way to know God if a person has refused His witnesses, word, and worship in favor of knowing God through His works alone. So let's discover how the LORD works through this text, especially on the human heart. This message preaches from Exodus 6:10-8:19. The title of this sermon: "Great Acts of Judgment"

Sunday, March 27, 2022. Exodus 5:1-6:9 | "Who is the LORD?" Moses and Aaron attempt to enlighten Pharaoh with knowledge of God and elicit obedience based on God's word. How did they do? Let's listen and learn about the only God who is knowable and discover four ways to make Him known! This message preaches from Exodus 5:1-6:9. The title of this sermon: "Who is the LORD?"

Sunday, March 20, 2022. Exodus 4:1-31 | "Send Someone Else" In this text, Moses continues to question God's call to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt. Moses doubts his credibility, his capability, and ultimately God's choice of him for this task. Let's listen and learn what this exchange teaches about the fallible people God chooses and uses for His glory! This message preaches from Exodus 4:1-31. The title of this sermon: "Send Someone Else."

Sunday, March 13, 2022. Exodus 3:1-22 | "I Will Be With You" The short biography of Moses' early years in Exodus chapter 2 conveyed a significant experience when Moses was rejected. So substantial was it that it is preserved in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. But God takes Moses' rejection in Exodus chapter 3 and sends Moses back into a similar predicament, but this time with God's call, God's name, and God's presence! This message preaches from Exodus 3:1-22. The title of this sermon: "I Will Be With You."

Sunday, March 06, 2022. Exodus 2:1-25 | "She Hid Him" Moses' parents had faith and acted on it. Moses had faith and acted on it. God is faithful, and God is acting! But will God's people have faith and act in faith too? Listen as this text leads us to the object of our faith - the only God who hears, remembers, sees, knows, and also acts according to His covenant faithfulness. This message preaches from Exodus 2:1-25. The title of this sermon: "She Hid Him."

Sunday, February 27, 2022. Exodus 1:1-22 | "The Midwives Feared God" Who is God? This question emerges from the first chapter of the book of Exodus - a continuation of God's story that began in Genesis. God is not yet named, but He is still present, watching, and fulfilling His promises to a succeeding generation. Join us as we begin a new preaching series through Exodus called: "Only One God." This message preaches from Exodus 1:1-22. The title of this sermon: "The Midwives Feared God."

Sunday, February 20, 2022. Ephesians 6:10-20 | "Spiritual Warfare with Spiritual Weapons" (Special Guest Jake Brown) In this thematic series on spiritual conflict, we have learned quite a bit about our spiritual enemy and his schemes. We also devoted a sermon to spiritual wholeness and the grace we have received in Christ to submit ourselves to God and cause the Devil to flee. Now, my friend Jake Brown preaches from Ephesians 6 to conclude this series focusing on spiritual warfare. This message preaches from Ephesians 6:10-20. It concludes a preaching series about Spiritual Conflict. The title of this sermon: "Spiritual Warfare with Spiritual Weapons" preached by special guest, Jake Brown.

Sunday, February 13, 2022. James 4:4-10 | "Submit Yourselves" The spiritual conflict brought about by our sin is entirely avoidable. By the grace of God, we can resist the devil, and he will flee! But first, we must do what God will not do for us. We must submit ourselves to God. In this sermon, we discover what it means to submit to God and obey this command according to Scripture. This message preaches from James 4:4-10. It is part of a preaching series about Spiritual Conflict. The title of this sermon: "Submit Yourselves"

Sunday, February 6, 2022. Luke 4:5-7 | "I Will Give All This...If" In this second test of Jesus in the wilderness, the Devil questions not what God has said but what Jesus will do. Let's listen to how Jesus responds to the Devil and learn how to make him flee! This message preaches from Luke 4:5-7. It is part of a preaching series about Spiritual Conflict. The title of this sermon: "I Will Give All This...If."

Sunday, January 30, 2022. Job 1:1-12 | "Does Job Fear God For No Reason?" This sermon continues a preaching series collected around the theme of Spiritual Conflict. In this series, we're looking first at the three places the Devil speaks in Holy Scripture, knowing that our enemy is repetitive, not creative, so we are not ignorant of his designs. The Devil spoke first about God in the Garden of Eden to the woman. "Did God actually say...?" His voice is heard again in this Wisdom book of the Old Testament named Job. Here the Devil speaks, not to Job about God, but to God about Job. What makes Job a fascinating case study on Spiritual Conflict is that Job is not part of this discussion that involves him. Therefore, he doesn't have a say in the matter. We'll give thought to what it means to trust God when God leaves us in the dark with unanswered questions. We'll also ask if some spiritual conflict might be unnecessary? Finally, we'll consider how the enemy attempts to control us through possessions and what we can do to guard against this pitfall. This message preaches from Job 1:1-12. It is part of a preaching series about Spiritual Conflict. The title of this sermon: "Does Job Fear God For No Reason?"

Sunday, January 23, 2022. Genesis 3:1-8 | "Did God Actually Say...?" If we are not experiencing spiritual conflict, then we are not engaged in the work of the Word! Conflict of a spiritual nature is inevitable when we obey the commands of our Savior. Through our obedience as witnesses for Christ, we will be confronting all manner of sin with the message of Gospel truth. This sermon introduces a new preaching series on Spiritual Conflict by looking at the first words of the Devil spoken in Scripture. Listen as the Devil casts doubt on the truth of God's character and Word, and let's discover together what God actually says as we wake up and gear up for spiritual conflict. This message preaches from Genesis 3:1-8. It begins a new preaching series on Spiritual Conflict. The title of this sermon: "Did God Actually Say...?"

Sunday, January 16, 2022. John 17:24-26 | "With Me Where I Am" This message completes an expository preaching series through John 17. If this series has helped you grow in your faith or has led you to obey the Lord somehow, I would love to hear from you. You may contact me directly by visiting PastorChristopher.com. In this text, at the conclusion of this prayer, Jesus makes a gracious request related to His presence. While we are familiar with Jesus' promise to be present with us always, here Jesus prays the opposite - not that He be present with us, but rather that we might be present with Him, to see His glory, and know the eternal love of the Father. At the conclusion of this prayer, Jesus unites His will, His knowledge, and His obedience to His Father. This message preaches from John 17:24-26. It concludes a preaching series through John 17, "He Said, 'Father.'" The title of this sermon: "With Me Where I Am."

Sunday, January 9, 2022. John 17:20-23 | "For Those Who Will Believe" In this text, Jesus prays for disciples beyond the eleven gathered around Him - His disciples of the future. We learn that Christ's Church is much bigger than one gathering at one time and one place. Instead, Jesus prays for His followers across all time to be one, to show the world the truth about Him and His Father's love. Listen to Jesus speak about the soon-to-be-saved, the success of the sent, and the stewardship of the saints for the salvation of souls! This message preaches from John 17:20-23. It is part of a preaching series through John 17, "He Said, 'Father.'" The title of this sermon is "For Those Who Will Believe."

Sunday, January 2, 2022. John 17:17-19 | "Sanctify Them" (A New Year's Sermon) At the beginning of each new year, we evaluate a "vision" through personal goals or corporate strategy. We dream about who we hope to be and what we hope to accomplish in a short span of one year. Leaders of local church congregations strive to articulate a clear vision too, but the result is often secular, not sanctified. In this sermon, we stop to ask an all-important question: What is Christ's vision for His Church? Two simple answers emerge through this unfolding prayer of Jesus. May this message encourage you to evaluate your new year's vision in light of God's revealed Word. This message preaches from John 17:17-19. It is part of a preaching series through John 17, "He Said, 'Father.'" The title of this sermon is "Sanctify Them."

Sunday, December 26, 2021. John 17:11b-16 | "Keep Them In Your Name" Jesus addresses God not as "Father" but as "Holy Father" as He prays for His followers. This sermon explores why Jesus added this word and what it means for His followers in the world. This message preaches from John 17:11b-16. It is part of a preaching series through John 17, "He Said, 'Father.'" The title of this sermon is "Keep Them In Your Name."

Sunday, December 19, 2021. John 17:6-11a | "Now They Know" [Communion Sunday] Jesus prays for the people the Father has given Him out of the world. In this sermon, we learn what a disciple is and what a disciple knows. This message preaches from John 17:6-11a. It is part of a preaching series through John 17, "He Said, 'Father'" The title of this sermon is "Now They Know."

Sunday, December 12, 2021. John 17:4-5 | "Glorify Me" In the first prayer of Christ, Jesus prays to the Father relationally as "Son." In this second prayer, Jesus prays personally as "me." What is the difference? The answer is the purpose of Christmas! This sermon reveals a personal prayer, an obedient prayer, and a costly prayer that explains the meaning of "Immanuel" - God with us! This message preaches from John 17:4-5. It is part of a preaching series through John 17, "He Said, 'Father'" The title of this sermon is "Glorify Me."

*This episode is a video podcast and includes a song preceding the message. Sunday, December 5, 2021. John 17:1-3 | "Glorify Your Son" If we want to learn why Jesus came, we must listen to what Jesus prayed! This sermon is the first installment of a preaching series through John 17. Moving from incarnation to intercession, we experience the completion of the Christmas story to the glory of God - "Glory in the Highest!" This message preaches from John 17:1-3.

Today is the first Sunday of Advent, a time of anticipation and preparation for the coming of Jesus. We look ahead by faith believing Jesus will come again very soon, as we remember his first coming into the world at Christmastime. This Advent Preaching Season will focus on "The Prayers of CHRISTmas." To start this season, Southside is pleased to welcome back Bro. Mike Dawson to Southside's pulpit to deliver a message about "The First-and Last-prayer of CHRISTmas." This message preaches from Revelation 22:20-21. Welcome, Bro. Mike Dawson!

It's not enough that Jesus is MY Lord, or Jesus is YOUR Lord. 1 Corinthians compels the Church to ask a different question: Church - Is Jesus OUR Lord? In the closing text of this letter, the apostle presents a series of final instructions meant to keep the Church from failing and propel the Church forward in power. What we do with these commands will ultimately reveal who our leader is and who we love. This message preaches from 1 Corinthians 16:13-24. It is the final sermon in a preaching series through 1 Corinthians: "To the Church." The title of this message is "Our Lord, Come!"

Most weeks, you hear the voice of a shepherd (pastor/teacher) preaching and teaching God's Word. But joining us today in Southside's pulpit is another voice and gift of God for His Church - the voice of an evangelist. Southside is pleased to welcome Evangelist Spencer Bell as he delivers a moving message entitled "The Greatest Decisions of Your Life." Please take a moment to visit Spencer's website, spencerbellministries.org, and pray about ways you can support Spencer's spiritual and material needs as he obeys God in vocational evangelism. Prepare your hearts now to hear "The Greatest Decisions of Your Life."

November is Southside's Annual "Praise-Giving Revival" - a month-long emphasis on revival, prayer, and praise! Will you participate with us in praising God publically this month by sharing a praise? One way you can do this is by visiting southsidebaptist.net/praise. To start things off, we welcome special guest Ken Blackwood, Director of Missions & Ministry for the Morgan Baptist Association in North Alabama, to the pulpit. Let's listen as Ken delivers a revival message from Matthew 19:16-22.

Sunday, October 31, 2021. 1 Corinthians 15:12-34 | "Christ Has Been Raised." If Christ has not been raised from the dead, our preaching, faith, and future are useless and wasted. As this text says, "let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die." Death would be a final, miserable end to such a short, meaningless existence. But the gospel of grace preached to us says differently. Christ has been raised from the dead! And the resurrection of Jesus Christ makes it possible for us to know God and experience the power of His resurrection in this life and the life to come. This message preaches from 1 Corinthians 15:12-34. It is part of a preaching series through 1 Corinthians "To The Church." The title of this sermon is "Christ Has Been Raised."

Sunday, October 24, 2021. 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 | "The Grace of God." The apostle writes to remind the church in Corinth about the gospel he preached and that they believed - or so he thought? At the same time, the apostle preaches this gospel to himself as a reminder that his labor is not in vain, all because of God's grace. This message preaches from 1 Corinthians 15:1-11. It is part of a preaching series through 1 Corinthians "To The Church." The title of this sermon is "The Grace of God."

Sunday, October 17, 2021. 1 Corinthians 14:26-40 | "Decently And In Order." What should the saints do when the church comes together? The apostle supports the various gifts but offers pointed instructions for how each gift, rightly deployed, builds up the church. This message preaches from 1 Corinthians 14:26-40. It is part of a preaching series through 1 Corinthians "To The Church." The title of this sermon is "Decently And In Order."

Sunday, October 10, 2021. 1 Corinthians 14:1-25 | "Say Amen." When the church says "Amen," it communicates a powerful witness of faith in God's word and works for both insiders and outsiders, believers and unbelievers. This message preaches from 1 Corinthians 14:1-25. It is part of a preaching series through 1 Corinthians "To The Church." The title of this sermon is "Say Amen."

Sunday, October 03, 2021. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 | "The Greatest of These" We, humans, tend to filter God through only one adjective, like "love." God is love, but He is much more than that. In the same way, if we view God's grace of love from only one angle, we risk distorting what love truly is. Love, as defined by God, is multifaceted. In this famous chapter, the apostle explains to the church what happens when love is absent, when love is active, and when love abides. This message preaches from 1 Corinthians 13:1-13. It is part of a preaching series through 1 Corinthians "To The Church." The title of this sermon is "The Greatest of These."

Sunday, September 26, 2021. 1 Corinthians 12:13-31 | "You Are The Body." We are what God says we are. It's that simple! The same Creator who said in the beginning, "let there be," and "there was," speaks a similar word to His Church today. God says, "You are the body of Christ and individually members of it!" What God creates, God sustains in Christ through the Holy Spirit. This reality has profound meaning for the identity and function of every local church and individual believer gathering in the name of Jesus. This message preaches from 1 Corinthians 12:13-31. It is part of a preaching series through 1 Corinthians "To The Church." The title of this sermon is "You Are The Body."
