3 Roles of Every Christian to Ensure Unity in the Church 1. The Conduct of Faith, v. 1 2. The Character of Forbearance, v. 2 3. The Call of Fellowship, v. 3

Sunday, May 4, 2025 - Dr. Rapheal Jumbuin preaching from Matthew 7:21-27

The desire of God is not that you would be insulated or isolated from the world, but that you would be a living testimony to God's truth in and to the world.Every Christian experiences a tension between desiring to be separated from the world and obedience to proclaim the gospel to the world. Throughout history, there have been excesses on both sides of this tension. Sometimes, Christians have overemphasized separation from the world and sought to isolate themselves from the world and restrict contact with non-Christians. At other times, Christians have overemphasized ministry to the world and abandoned holiness and the requirements of faith and obedience in a foolish attempt to make the gospel more worldly appealing.The Christian who attempts to isolate themselves from the world disobeys God's command to be a gospel light and witness to the world, and the Christian who seeks at all costs to be appealing to the world disobeys God's command to live lives of holiness.Whether you are a recent high school graduate preparing to enter the working world or attend college, or an adult working a secular job, every Christian must wrestle with this tension that comes from living a holy life for Christ while living in an evil world.This is the very issue that Jesus is praying about in John 17:14-19. He does not pray that God would take Christians out of the world, but while they are in the world, keep them holy and obedient to the faith.In this sermon, pastor Ben Smith preaches from John 17:14-19 on how you can be in the world without becoming like the world by seeking godly affections, resting in God's power, and being set apart by God.Ben Smith is the pastor of Central Baptist Church, Waycross, GA.This sermon was originally preached on 5/4/2025 for graduate recognition Sunday.Books and downloadable PDFs of Pastor Ben's sermon notes are available at http://bensmithsr.org/resources.For more information on Central Baptist Church, visit www.cbcwaycross.org.

Kirk Cameron just said what every Christian parent needs to hear — and it's not what you're getting in most churches. While Hollywood targets your kids with confusion, Kirk launched Iggy & Mr. Kirk to fight back with puppets, parables, and unapologetic biblical truth. It's clever, countercultural, and could be the most important kids' show you've never heard of… until now. Today's Sponsor Take control of your family's water health!

Unwrapping Your Spiritual GiftsInterview with William GarvinIn this Faith and Family Fellowship episode, Dallas interviews author William Garvin.About the Book:At our 'new birth', we are given 'GIFTS' by God. The first gift is the Holy Spirit and through the Holy Spirit we receive 'SPIRITUAL GIFTS'. Every Christian has received at least one gift, some more. These gifts are given so we might; Worship God - in spirit and truth, hear and respond to His Voice, be identified with Him, and overcome the works of the devil. But how do we unwrap and use these gifts God has given? That is why this is written! In this 'time of the falling away', we must know that our spiritual gifts are given to enable EACH of us to successfully contribute to the spiritual warfare that the 'Body of Christ' MUST fight.Every good soldier must know HOW to use his weapons. The difference with us is that we have 'spiritual weapons' that can Only be operated by spiritual means. Under the 'controls' directed by the Scriptures, we are to use the 'gifts' to 'discern' the spiritual things of God, from that which is evil. God is enlisting ALL His people, not just leadership, to activate, 'the weapons of our warfare' that when done in the unity and fellowship with other Christians, can 'pull down strongholds'.Praise GOD! Elder William L. Garvin has served as Pastor of Home Ministry Outreach Church (HMOC) in Gary, Indiana, USA, since 1995. He and his wife, -and co-pastor-Beverly Joyce, have been married for fifty-plus years; they've been blessed with four adult children, son Macy, daughter Kelley, son David, and daughter Rachel (Mansoor) Leh.

Every Christian is a counselor—whether we realize it or not. The question is: what worldview do we draw from when we give advice? In this podcast, Scott Brown and Jason Dohm, joined by special guest Jason Winslade, discuss the folly of secular psychology—which assumes that man is basically good—and even some Christian counseling, which baptizes Freudian psychology with a few Bible verses. What's needed, instead, is people who think biblically and reject dangerous worldly philosophies (Col. 2:8-10), drawing from God's all-sufficient Word to restore sinners and support the suffering in their time of need (Gal. 6:1-2). Relying on the sure foundation of Scripture, every Christian can learn, with God's help, to wisely counsel others.

Lead Pastor - Tim Hatch

Every Christian is faced with a question they must answer in this life. What type of life do you want to live? Do you want to live a life where you are conforming...or do you want to live a life where you are transformed? “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God”. Romans 12:2 What Does It Mean to "Not Be Conformed to This World, but Be Transformed"? Listen to this message to see what God may be saying to you.

In this life-altering sermon, Pastor Louis Oliver tackles a spiritual reality most ignore: blind spots. Drawing from Psalm 139 and years of ministry experience, he shares how unchecked issues of the heart can stunt growth, destroy influence, and even turn sincere believers into convert killers.

When we have pain and problems, we tend to gravitate toward anything but God. God asks us to keep him first. If we'll pay attention to the basics (seek God, fellowship with Christians, pray, and read Scripture), he will richly provide for our needs, guiding us with love and power.

Every Christian parent longs to see their prodigal child—or any lost loved one—return to faith. But what if, in our eagerness to “speak truth” and correct their course, we’re actually widening the gap between them and God? In this eye-opening episode, Catherine welcomes Michael French—an attorney-turned-pastor with decades of experience in both traditional church settings and unconventional, deeply relational ministry. Through friendships forged in unexpected places—from tabletop games to immersive role play—Michael has reached those the Church often overlooks or even avoids: witches, warlocks, LGBTQ+ individuals, and the spiritually wounded. Michael’s story challenges how we think about evangelism, reminding us that Jesus always led with love before calling for change. He built relationships with the rejected, the broken, and the misunderstood—then spoke truth into hearts softened by compassion. This episode will reshape how you approach the prodigals and lost loved ones in your life—and rekindle hope that no one is too far gone. Key Insights from the Episode:

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.

As believers, we have access to eternal truths that free, heal, and restore. I'm here to equip you with clarity, resources, and confidence. You don't need to have all the answers.

Every Christian father wrestles with the weight of responsibility—how do we effectively pass our faith to our children in a way that truly sticks? Drawing from Psalm 78:4, this episode dives deep into the biblical mandate to "tell the next generation" about God's faithfulness. We explore Barrett Johnson's powerful framework for discipling children like Jesus discipled His followers—through abiding, modeling, teaching, applying, and connecting. The conversation unpacks practical strategies that any father can implement, regardless of biblical knowledge or background. You'll discover a simple three-question approach (What happened? So what? Now what?) that transforms family Bible study from awkward monologues into engaging dialogues that build genuine faith understanding.For full show note details, go to the episode webpage:

April 3, 2025 Daniel P. Buttafuoco,Senior Partner & Founder of Buttafuoco& Associates & Founder & President ofThe Historical Bible Society, who willaddress: “EVERY CHRISTIAN is an APOLOGIST” Subscribe: Listen:

Discipleship is critical when it comes to the Church -- because without it, all we're left with is a bunch of born-again spiritual orphans with no one to look after them. Every Christian is commanded to make disciples who will grow spiritually and be able to disciple others in turn. As believers, God will call each of us to seek out someone new to the family of God to take under our wing, and pour into their life in a way that helps them mature to a position of doing the same for someone else.

Every Christian father carries a divine mandate to disciple their children, passing down not just traditions but a living faith. Drawing from Psalm 78:4, this episode explores the profound responsibility we have to share God's praiseworthy deeds and wonders with the next generation. Your children pay attention to more than your words—they're watching how you live your faith. When you share personal stories of God's faithfulness in your life, you transform abstract biblical concepts into tangible realities they can grasp and remember. The faith that sticks isn't found in occasional religious conversations but in the daily rhythm of life—bedtime prayers, dinner discussions, car rides, and walking together.For full show note details, go to the episode webpage:

Every Christian has experienced days or even seasons of feeling extreme guilt over past or present sins, thinking that God is angry or disgusted with them―sometimes even wondering if they’re truly saved. This often happens when believers fixate on their sins while forgetting what Christ has already done on their behalf at the cross. Sam Storms explains it this way: “What consumes us is what we have done by sinning. What ought to consume us is grateful meditation on what God has done with our sinning.” Dr Storms will walk us through 12 things God did with our sin, including forgiving it, passing over it, and casting it into the depths of the sea.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Obeying God’s commands about sex, plus Ben Stuart on battling adversity and temptation, and how to maximize your final year of college. Featured musical artist: Covenant Worship Roundtable: A Sexual Purity Reset (Part 1) Do you sometimes feel you’re the last Christian on earth who hasn’t had sex? Or you think God has bigger things to worry about than your sex life, so a little compromise here or there is no big deal. Maybe you’ve caved to sexual sin and are wondering if you’re a Christian at all. If any of these scenarios describe you, you’re not alone. God is pretty clear about His sexual standards and design, so why is it so hard to obey them? And in today’s culture, why should we? In part one of this no-holds-barred conversation, our guests open up about their sexual histories, grapple with the truths of God’s Word (even the tough parts), look forward with renewed hope, and cast a vision for finding both strength and grace in God’s forward-focused and for-our-good design for sex. Leave Us a Voicemail Watch This Segment on YouTube Culture: Fighting Temptation and Finding Rest We’re in a spiritual war against the world, our own sinful desires, and even Satan himself. We need to fight temptation, worthless pursuits, discouragement and adversity on every side. As fighters, our need for rest can be just as important as how we handle the battle — but where and when do we find this rest? Pastor Ben Stuart is passionate about helping young adults find intimacy with God through ancient rhythms and practices. He knows we can reject the enemy’s lies and embrace our true identity in Christ. Pushing through the struggle we are then afforded rest at the often unexpected pastures and streams that God provides. This discussion will help you start the journey.
