Pastor McMathBiblical LoveText: 1 John 3:10–16Preached at Valley Bible Baptist ChurchIntroductionEphesians teaches that we are sealed at salvation and that our lives should reflect that by how we love others.Related verses:1 John 2:29; 4:7Our new nature has a desire to please God.Chastening and discipline are signs of true salvation.Those born of God have the Spirit of Truth.Loving the brethren is a clear sign of God's love in us.God's Spirit transforms the life of His children.“God is able to love through you in a way that you cannot love on your own.”The world needs to see love in action.1. The Admonition from God to Love1 John 3:10–11, 23If God commands us to love, He will also empower us to do it.Christ's love separates us from mere religion.John 15:12 – Christ is the greatest example of love.1 John 4:7 – Love is of God.2. The Application (Attitude) of Love1 John 3:12A negative example is seen in Cain.(See Genesis 4 for context.)Cain's envy led to hatred.1 John 3:13 – Envy leads to hatred.Hatred is equated with murder.1 John 3:15Bitterness goes against the nature of God.Ephesians 4:22–32“Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God”—grief comes from a place of love.1 John 3:143. The Action of Love1 John 3:18a. Love's Sacrifice1 John 3:16b. Love's Compassion1 John 3:17Romans 124. The Assurance of Love1 John 3:19–20Matthew 18 – We must forgive as the Lord has forgiven us.Assurance in Prayer1 John 3:24Biblical love is not just an emotion;it is an action that reveals Christ in us to a world that desperately needs Him.Do others see Jesus in you?

Brother Murdoch – "The Most Important Thing You Do"April 20, 2025 – PM ServiceValley Bible Baptist ChurchText: Luke 6:12; James 5:17–18; 1 Thessalonians 5:17Why Would the Man of God Pray That It Would Stop Raining?Because it was a judgment prayer—a specific type of prayer we also see examples of in Deuteronomy.From James 5: "He Prayed"1. The Prayer Was SincereThe Bible says he prayed earnestly—genuinely and from the heart.It was also fervent—full of passion and intensity.Isaiah 38:1–3 – An example of someone praying with sincerity and intensity.2. The Prayer Was SpecificJames 5:17He asked specifically for the rain to stop.When we pray, we should ask for specific things according to God's will.Matthew 18:19Mark 11:241 John 5:14–15Why pray specifically?To gain wisdom to do God's will.John 15:7 – “If you abide in Me…” — motive matters.When your motive is right, God can validate what you're asking for.3. The Prayers Didn't Stop1 Kings 18:40–46 – Especially verse 42.Notice Elijah's posture—he was humble and persistent in prayer.4. The Prayers Included Confession—and Brought HealingJames 5:16 – Confess your faults… pray… that you may be healed.Romans 8:16 – The Spirit bears witness that we are God's children.Prayer is not a last resort—It is the most important thing you do.

Brother MurdochApril 20th, 2025 AM ServiceLuke 24:13-35The Resurrection Should Impact the HeartWe see Cleopas and the unnamed disciple in verse 18. Where were they going? Emmaus. Why? Home.1. Jesus said, "I will walk with you." Look at verse 15. Emotions are powerful; they can prevent us from seeing Jesus. Sadness (verse 17).2. Jesus said, "I will teach you." A lack of faith can keep us from seeing Jesus. How did Jesus teach? Throughout the Old Testament, it was a gradual process. Am I teachable? Make me teachable, Lord. What did Jesus teach? a. More about Himself b. In our suffering, how suffering precedes triumph. (1 Peter 1:10-11)3. Jesus said, "I will reveal Myself to you." Verse 30: The guest (Jesus) became the host. “They made Jesus the master of the table, but we should make Jesus the Master of our hearts.”

Missions Conference 2025 – 4/6/2025Preached by Brother Polk – Missionary to MexicoBilingual Service (English & Spanish)At the pulpit of Valley Bible Baptist ChurchText: Luke 16:23–31Hell is a Real PlaceHell is a place of eternal torment and suffering.Revelation 21:8Matthew 25:46Hell is a place of everlasting punishment.Hell is a place of spiritual suffering.2 Thessalonians 1:8 – To not believe is disobedience.While we are still in this life, there is hope—hope to be reconciled with Jesus Christ.Heaven is a Real PlaceHeaven is a place of spiritual blessings.Revelation 21:21Heaven is so incredible—it doesn't need the sun, moon, or stars to shine.John 14:1 – Jesus promises a place prepared for us.Revelation 21:4 – No more death, sorrow, or pain.Heaven is a place of eternal hope and transformation:2 Corinthians 5:1Hebrews 9:15Philippians 3:211 John 3:Revelation 22:1–5Heaven being a real place should motivate us to share the Gospel.It should compel us to tell others—to urge them to choose heaven over hell!

Missions Conference 2025 – 4/6/2025Preached by Brother Corley – Pastor from ColoradoAt the pulpit of Valley Bible Baptist ChurchText: Romans 10God wants us to know His will for our lives!What do we need? — Ears to hear.Often, we'd rather stay in our comfort zone,but truth can be uncomfortable.God desires that we have the obedience of faith.Faith produces obedience.Two Types of Righteousness:God's righteousnessOur own righteousnessYou cannot buy, earn, or inherit your way to heaven.Romans 1:17–18 – It is impossible to live up to God's standard on your own.Sincerity is not enough.Jesus is the Only Way to SalvationRomans 10:3 – Jesus is the only way.Romans 10:4 – Jesus is also the standard of righteousness.Romans 10:9 – We must accept God's righteousness for our salvation.Salvation is not a magic formula or just a set of words.It is a moment of true belief,where our heart is postured to receive the gift of salvation.The requirement?Believe on the Son of God.

Missions Conference 2025 – 4/4/2025Preached by Brother Hernandez – Pastor in Las CrucesAt the pulpit of Valley Bible Baptist ChurchText: Matthew 9:35–38We don't need new revelation—we need renewed obedience."He was moved with compassion..." – v. 36Why are there so few laborers?Have you been moved?The Lord—the Creator of everything—was moved!Are you allowing the Holy Spirit to move you?Are we too afraid to admit we don't have it all figured out?What is it going to take to be moved by God?1. "But when..." – Readiness (v. 36)Jesus didn't look away when it was time to look at the multitude.Even after preaching in the synagogues and healing all who came,when the moment came—He didn't turn away.How often do we look away?Jesus took the time to look.There is a principle of readiness here—being present, being available.2. "But when He saw the multitude..." – ResponsibilityWe see the heart of God in verse 35.In verse 36, we see that Jesus took responsibility personally.Mark 16 – We are commissioned to go.We have a responsibility in our city and in our world.3. God's Love for PeopleWe must get the Gospel to everyone.We must learn to see souls—not just people.When we're not soulwinning, we're not seeing people as souls in need of a Savior.We know so much…But have we gone soulwinning?

Missions Conference 2025 – 4/3/2025"Fulfilling the Pastoral Calling"– Brother HastingsIt's a commitment to do whatever it takes.Matthew 16:24–25The New Testament gives many examples showing that we are called to give our lives fully to Christ.Romans 15:1Philippians 3:7–8We will give an account for our service to Him.Luke 18:29–30We need to be surrendered.Not all service comes with a title—but we all have a responsibility to respond to God.We must have the courage to obey Him.1 Peter 5:41 Samuel 17:24, 37 – David's ability to defeat Goliath came directly from God. David had a heart of responsibility.God often gives us problems as tests—to see how we'll handle them.“When you attempt great things for God, you can expect great things from God.”Joshua 24:15Galatians 6:9

Missions Conference 2025 – 4/2/2025"Are you a Helper or a Hindrance?"– Brother Corley, Missionary to Colorado3 John 1:1–13It seems the Apostle John believed in absolute truth.We can stand strong on the Truth because of Jesus Christ.There appears to be a kind of "partial Christianity"—but that is not biblical.Truth comes from God. As best we can, we must align ourselves with God's truth.Do you want to be a believer who lives by the truth?God's truth exists to shine light on the lies of this world.We are to be after a godly sort (v. 6).We are to be fellowhelpers to the truth (v. 8).You become a hindrance when you make church about you (vv. 9–11).Don't follow that which is evil.Be a fellowhelper to the truth.

Preached March 30th, 2025 at Valley Bible Baptist Church"Ye Are Witnesses of These Things"1. God Gives Us a Task: Share Jesus with OthersGod wants us to be a witness—but before that, we must know Christ.We cannot share Christ if we do not know Him personally.“Repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” – Luke 24:47Also see: Matthew 28:18–19; Mark 6:1–32. God Gives Us a JobWe each have a different place of service.Serve HimServe Others – Philippians 2Jesus came to this world fully knowing He would serve others.“We ought to care more for souls than for our comfort.”Fear doesn't come from God—fear comes from ourselves.“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear…” – 2 Timothy 1:7The best way to serve others is by sharing Jesus.Matthew 28:19–20We need to be discipling new converts.Pick someone younger to invest in here at our church.Let's be a witness for Christ.

Preached March 9th, 2025In review: 1 John is the " know so" book of Salvation. 1 John 5:12. God wants us to have assurance of Salvation.The Wrod of God examines our faith and tests out faith. It is not enough to just be sincere. True faith desires walks in light.True faith desires to obey the Lord.True faith loves the brethren.True faith rejects the world. (James 4:4)_____________________________________________________True faith walks in TRUTH-1 John 2:182 Thessalonians 2:10-12 Many will be deceived by antichrist."Truth and deception cannot live together." VS.18- There are many false teachersTrue faith is a SECURE FAITH - 1 John 2:25"Your anchor should be in the Lord Jesus Christ and in Him alone."A truly saved person CANNOT lose their salvation.True faith is a SPIRIT ANOINTED FAITH- 1 John 2:20,27This is the gift of the Holy Spirit of God. This new spiritual birth comes at the moment of salvation.Ephesians 1:12; John 14:16; 1 Corinthians 6:19God's spirit teaches His children and it always complies with the Word of God. John 14:26God's spirit also convicts us. God's spirit guides us to the Will, purpose and direction of God.Ephesians 4:22-30 When we greive God' spirit, we lose the joy of our salvation. 1 John 3:24; 1 John 5:10-13; Romans 8:14-16True faith is a STEADFAST FAITH - 1 John 2:19The false will reveal the truth. 1 John 2:24; 2 Timothy 2:15-20; 2 Timothy 3:1-10; 2 Timothy 4:1-41 John 2:27-It can be difficult to see the difference between the truth and the false.True faith is a SOLID FAITH-1 John 2 :20; 4:1The Christ of the Bible is Christ manifested in the flesh.VS 28-Jesus is coming back!

"The life of Abraham"-Genesis 22-Pastor McMathPreached March 30th, 2025 at Valley Bible Baptist Church1. The proving of AbrahamGod will put all of us to the test.-> There is a cost to discipleship Luke 24:26There will be a test of loveThere will be a test of faithHebrews 11:17-19 Abraham believed according to the promises of GodGenesis 22:5 Abraham obeyed the call of God.There will be a test of obedience (Even when it doesn't make sense.)Notice the place: Abraham had to go the RIGHT place. Vs. 9. The place: 2 Chronicles 3:1. This would be the place would the future temple where God would dwell.This would foreshadow God's work. This is a picture of greater sacrifice. This is also not that far from Mt. Golgotha. Absolute obedience is important to God. The picture: The cross of Calvary. Vs. 2. This is the first use of the word "love" on the Bible- the love of a father and a son. Matthew 3:17- This is the first use of the word "love" in the new testament- also a love between a Father and a Son. Mark 1:11; Luke 3:22; John 3:16; 1 John 4:8-21Notice: Issac is a type of God the Son. -> He willingly obedient- even if it meant death. Issac is a type of a delivered sinner.Jesus took our place- We was our substitute.The provision: Genesis 22:7God will provide himself a lamb!Genesis 22:15-18 God CANNOT break a promise and He has the power to fulfill his own word.You will never out give God. Jesus Christ is the source of all our blessing. God will bless our obedience. Application:a. We are called to obeyb. We are called to witnessc. We are to surrender
