It's Friday, June 27th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Pakistani Court acquits Christian man of blasphemy against Islam On June 25th, the Pakistani Supreme Court ordered the acquittal of an elderly Christian man on death row for 23 years on a blasphemy against Islam conviction, reports Morning Star News. A three-judge bench acquitted Anwar Kenneth, age 72, of the blasphemy allegations. His attorney, Rana Hameed, himself a Muslim, explained that a person of unsound mind could not be held liable for such a crime. He added that this case highlights the plight of dozens of other blasphemy prisoners who are also suffering from mental health challenges, yet their cases have been pending for years. Defense Secretary Hegseth defends success of bombing Iran Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defended President Trump's characterization that the Iranian nuclear sites were obliterated. HEGSETH: “President Trump directed the most complex and secretive military operation in history. And it was a resounding success, resulting in a cease fire agreement and the end of the 12 Day War. “There's been a lot of discussion about what happened and what didn't happen. Step back for a second. Because of decisive military action, President Trump created the conditions to end the war, decimating, choose your word, obliterating, destroying Iran's nuclear capabilities.” At a press conference at the NATO Summit in The Hague, Netherlands on June 25th, Secretary Hegseth added this. HEGSETH: “There's a reason the President calls out fake news for what it is. These pilots, these refuelers, these fighters, these air defenders -- the skill and the courage it took to go into enemy territory, flying 36 hours, on behalf of the American people and the world to take out a nuclear program is beyond what anyone in this audience can fathom. “And then, the instinct of CNN, the instinct of The New York Times is to try to find a way to spin it for their own political reasons, to try to hurt President Trump or our country. They don't care what the troops think. They don't care what the world thinks. They want to spin it to try to make him look bad based on a leak. “What do leakers do? They have agendas. And what do they do? Do they share the whole information, or just the part that they want to introduce? And when they introduce that preliminary report, that's deemed to be a low assessment, you know, a low assessment means low confidence in the data in that report. “And why is there low confidence? Because all of the evidence of what was just bombed by twelve 30,000-pound bombs is buried under a mountain, devastated and obliterated. So, if you want to make an assessment of what happened at Fordow, you better get a big shovel and go really deep, because Iran's nuclear program is obliterated. “Somebody, somewhere is trying to leak something to say, ‘Oh, with low confidence, we think maybe it's moderate.'  Those that dropped the bombs precisely in the right place know exactly what happened when that exploded. And you know who else knows?  Iran! “That's why they came to the table right away because their nuclear capabilities have been set back beyond what they thought were possible because of the courage of a Commander-in-Chief who led our troops, despite what the fake news wants to say.” Supreme Court rules South Carolina can defund Planned Parenthood In a 6-3 decision yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that South Carolina has the right to defund the Planned Parenthood abortion business, reports LifeNews. The pro-life state wants to be able to block taxpayer funding for the abortion business under Medicaid, but the abortion company sued to block that action. The Supreme Court ruled that South Carolina has the power to block funding. In the decision, written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, the Supreme Court said Medicaid laws do not give individuals the right to bring federal lawsuits against states. The high court's ruling means that the state can direct Medicaid funding—funds intended to help low-income individuals obtain necessary medical assistance—to comprehensive health care rather than entities that exist primarily to perform abortions. South Carolina Republican Governor Henry McMaster issued executive orders barring the pro-abortion organization from receiving reimbursements for non-abortion services like cancer screenings, STD testing, and contraception -- arguing that the funding just frees the abortion business to spend funds killing babies. Governor McMaster is living up to the command of Proverbs 31:8 which says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt weighed in. LEAVITT: “As for the Supreme Court ruling, the President has always maintained that Americans should not be forced to violate their conscience and their religious liberty by having their tax dollars fund abortions, and we're glad the Supreme Court ruled on that side.” Two who stopped gunman at Michigan church hailed as heroes Two members of CrossPointe Community Church in Wayne, Michigan are being hailed as heroes for helping to stop a gunman who attempted to carry out a mass shooting during the church's worship service this past Sunday, reports the Christian Post. The men, Deacon Richard Pryor and Ron Amann, a member of the church's security team, are being celebrated for their efforts in stopping 31-year-old Brian Browning. According to the police report cited by the Detroit Free Press, Browning, the gunman, was dressed in camouflage clothing and a tactical vest as he approached the church entrance armed with an AR-15-style rifle and 500 rounds of ammunition. He opened fire at the church shortly after 11:00am. Steven Lewellyn, a fellow church member, wrote, "Richard was in the parking lot and saw the shooter walking towards the door. In a moment of quick thinking and incredible bravery, Richard sped towards the man, hitting him with his truck and giving armed security crucial extra seconds to get to the scene and prevent further harm." The gunman shot multiple rounds into the truck, but thankfully did not hurt Richard Pryor, who was running late for church that morning. Providentially, just three days before the shooting, Ron Amann told WXYZ that he was one of three members of the church's safety team who attended training at Peacemakers Shooting Range. AMANN: “When we formed this team, I just knew it was my calling to protect my family and my church family.” Amann described what he heard last Sunday. AMANN: "Popping, a pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop noise that I couldn't quite identify. It stopped. I heard it again, and probably within a few seconds after that, someone came running in the back of the sanctuary and said, there's a shooter out there.” After he sent his family to safety, he ran toward the shooting. AMANN: "He [shooter] was sitting on the ground with a rifle, and he was sitting away from me, so he turned to make a sweep of the glass with his gun and just held the trigger and shot through. "He just started spraying bullets into the lobby, went through the glass, shattered it, and then, that's when it caught my leg and spun me around.” Another member of the church's safety team, Jay Trombley, fatally shot Browning. Amann is convinced that God prepared them for that moment. AMANN: “Being a person of faith and having a relationship with God, I believe He orchestrated all of the preparations and prepared us exactly for what we encountered.” Kate Dunphy, the organizer of the GoFundMe campaign for the church security volunteer who was shot in the leg, wrote, "Ron's tibia was shattered and required extensive surgery to place a rod at the leg injury. This injury will have approximately 3-5 months of physical recovery and rehabilitation. God spared Ron's life and was mighty in His protection over the security team and congregation.” She cited Psalm 37:23-24 which says, “The steps of a man are established by the LORD, when He delights in His way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD upholds his hand.” I want to hear from children under the age of 18 I would love to share 3 emails on Monday, June 30th from kids between the ages of 5 and 17 who listen to The Worldview.  What do you like about this Christian newscast?

Sunday June 8, 2025 at the Hub City Church Law & Gospel | Acts 13:13-52 World Upside Down | a series through the book of Acts Sermon by David Snelling | Deacon Sermon Notes: Numbers 23:19 // Job 42:2 The supremacy of God is good news to the world because…. God maintains His purposes and faithfulness, not IN LIGHT of His peoples FAITHFULNESS, but DESPITE their UNFAITHFULNESS. 2 Timothy 2:11-13 // Psalm 19:7 // Romans 3:23 // Romans 2:15 “And the First use of it, without question, is, to convince the world of sin….But it is the ordinary method of the Spirit of God to convict sinners by the law. It is this which, being set home on the conscience, generally breaketh the rocks in pieces. It is more especially this part of the word of God which is zvn kai energhs, -- quick and powerful, full of life and energy, 'and sharper than any two edged sword.' This, in the hand of God and of those whom he hath sent, pierces through all the folds of a deceitful heart, and 'divides asunder even the soul and the spirit;' yea, as it were, the very 'joints and marrow.' By this is the sinner discovered to himself. All his fig-leaves are torn away, and he sees that he is 'wretched, and poor, and miserable, and blind, and naked.' The law flashes conviction on every side. He feels himself a mere sinner. He has nothing to pay. His 'mouth is stopped,' and he stands 'guilty before God.'" - John Wesley The WEIGHT of the LAW is meant to REVEAL to all people their need for a SAVIOR. Romans 3:21-25 // Titus 3:5 // Ephesians 2:8 // Romans 6:23 For both Jew and Gentile - SALVATION is not a MATTER of what you “EARN” but a matter of who you GIVE your LIFE too.

It's Wednesday, June 4th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Christians persecuted in Mali, Africa by military junta Christians are facing increased persecution in Mali after the military junta initiated a crackdown in May. The military of the West African nation dissolved all political parties in the crackdown. Jo Newhouse with Open Doors Sub-Saharan Africa said, “Christians in Mali have faced increasing persecution over the past few years. By closing the democratic space, and further encroaching on civil liberties, the junta is adding unwelcome pressure to an already volatile situation.” Please pray for the church in Mali, Africa. The country is ranked 14th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult places to be a Christian.  Ukrainian evangelist: Thousands coming to Christ A Ukrainian evangelist addressed the European Congress on Evangelism in Berlin, Germany last Thursday. Evangelist David Karcha reported that Ukrainian Evangelicals have been ministering to their fellow countrymen since Russia invaded the country in 2022. Churches are seeing thousands of people come to Christ during the war. Karcha said, “In the world's eyes, Ukraine is a story of war. But in God's eyes, it is a story of revival, a story that reminds us all that the Gospel advances.” 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 says, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds … and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.” American economy predicted to grow by only 1.6% this year The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development cut its economic growth outlook for the United States. The group forecasts the U.S. economy will expand by 1.6% this year, down from its previous forecast of 2.2%. Experts also expect global economic growth to slow this year in the wake of U.S President Donald Trump's tariff policies. They also noted, “trade uncertainty and economic policy uncertainty has reached unprecedented levels.” Dept of Ed. shuns homosexual pride month, celebrates Title IX month To its credit, the U.S. Department of Education is not celebrating homosexual pride month in the month of June. Instead, the Trump administration is recognizing June as “Title IX Month.” Title IX of the Education Amendments was signed into law by President Richard Nixon on June 23, 1972. It prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs. However, the Biden administration tried to inject transgender protections into the law. Under Trump's Education Department, the administration is promising to protect women's and girls' sports from such transgender activism.  Muslim immigrant used flamethrower on peaceful pro-Israel group in CO An immigrant, motivated by anti-Semitic beliefs, has been accused of brutally attacking a peaceful pro-Israel group advocating for Israeli hostages held captive by the Muslim terrorist group known as Hamas, reports The Blaze. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian national in the United States despite reportedly overstaying his visa, is suspected of attacking a group of individuals participating in a walk in Boulder, Colorado at 2:00pm on June 1st. According to CNN, he allegedly used a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails to set people on fire at an event in support of hostages in Gaza as he yelled “Free Palestine.” He injured at least 12 people. The victims ranged in age from 52 to 88 years old, including a Holocaust survivor. The U.S. Attorney General's office has charged Soliman with a hate crime. The attack targeted the “Run for Their Lives” group, a grassroots organization that gathered on Pearl Street on Sunday evening to support the release of the hostages captured by the terrorist group in October 2023. According to the FBI, the Jewish group chapter gathers weekly. Maya Bajayo is the organizer of the “Run for Their Lives” group. BAJAYO: “We're here only to raise awareness for the hostages. It makes it even more scary for us that it could have been us.” Amazingly, Bajayo, who has been leading the walk for 83 Sundays straight, refuses to stop walking despite the threat of violence. She explained why to Channel 9 News. BAJAYO: “To show people that we're still here, the problem hasn't been solved, and the hostages need to be released. We're just not going to give up on them.” Oklahoma Governor: "Life begins at conception.” During June, Oklahoma is celebrating  a “Month for Life.” Republican Governor Kevin Stitt signed the proclamation Monday. He wrote on X, “Life begins at conception. We're committed to supporting moms every step. And God has a plan for every life.” The proclamation encouraged citizens to join the Oklahoma March for Life on Saturday, June 7. 10th anniversary of Supreme Court's pro-homosexual marriage ruling The U.S. Supreme Court handed down its Obergefell v. Hodges decision 10 years ago on June 26, 2015. The infamous ruling requires states to recognize same-sex unions as marriages.  A new survey from Gallup found that 68% of U.S. adults support faux same-sex marriage, up from 60% in 2015. However, that support has plateaued over the last five years.  No one shared why they like The Worldview in 5 Minutes And finally, I would love to know why you enjoy listening to The Worldview in 5 Minutes.  Do you like the variety of stories, the reports on the persecuted church, the Christian worldview, the 2 Scriptures, the soundbites, the links to additional information in our transcript, or the occasional uplifting, positive story?  Email me 2-6 sentences and include your name, city, and state.  Surprisingly, I did not get a single email on Tuesday despite the fact that tens of thousands of people listen to the newscast or read the transcript.  Send your email to Adam@TheWorldview.com. 18 listeners gave $4,202 to fund The Worldview newscast Toward this week's $30,875 goal to fund one-fourth of The Worldview newscast budget by this Friday, June 6th, 18 listeners stepped up to the plate.  Our thanks to Joshua in Bolivar, Missouri who gave $30 as well as Rachelle in Longview, Washington, Margaret in White Salmon, Washington, Jeremy in Swansea, Wales in the United Kingdom, and Karena in Eugene, Oregon – each of whom gave $50. We appreciate Dick in Hoyt, Kansas, Hannah in San Jose, California, David in Plano, Texas, Adam in Gile, Wisconsin, and David in Crestview, Florida – each of whom gave $100. We're grateful to God for Hannah in Green Valley, Arizona who gave $132,Genevieve in Wheat Ridge, Colorado who pledged $20/month for 12 months for a gift of $240, Kristen in Columbia Falls, Montana who gave $250, and Luis and Patricia in Kyle, Texas who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300.

Those 18 listeners gave a total of $4,202. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please.  (Drum toll sound effect) $4,932 (People clapping sound effect)  That means by this Friday, we still need to raise $26,873. We missed our goal of 20 donors on Tuesday by only 2 donors.  In order to hit our goal by this Friday, June 6th, we need to raise $8,957 on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.   Toward that end, I wonder if there might be 4 Worldview listeners who could give $1,000.  Another 8 who would pledge $50/month. And 12 more who would pledge $25/month.  That would enable us to raise $11,800 on Wednesday. Maybe we can hit 20 donors today.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
