Shawn, Cullan and other Justin dive into Jesus healing a chronically and his way to raise another girl to life 

2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - The book of 2 Corinthians betrays a strained relationship between Paul and the church of Corinth. Even though he brought the good news of the gospel to these people, and even though he started the initial congregation, they turned on him. The relationship was cold and distant and so at the end of chapter 6, Paul explains the cause. The believers in Corinth were intermingling with unbelievers. They were toying with sin. They mistakenly thought they could blend Christianity and worldliness. But in the end, they were contaminated and their relationship with Paul was compromised. The way back home for distant Christians is to root out evil and run towards holiness in the fear of God. May the Lord teach all of us that lesson as we gather in worship this weekend.

Other Justin, Justin and Cullan dive into Jesus responding to a question about fasting.

Revelation 2:1-7 - Speaker: Jon Kopp - We are beginning a new series through Revelation chapters 2 and 3. In these chapters, we find a collection of letters from Jesus Himself to seven historic churches scattered across Asia Minor. About sixty years after Jesus ascended into heaven—after His church was birthed at Pentecost and had begun to grow—Jesus speaks again and gives His assessment of the health, faithfulness, and dangers facing His church. But these messages are not meant only for those original seven congregations. These letters were written to them, and they were written for us. Every single letter ends with the same phrase: “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” And that refrain matters, especially when we consider that these seven churches were not the only churches in the region at the time. Why were only seven churches addressed? Because, these seven churches summarize the kinds of situations and needs Christ's people have always faced. We find a clue of this in how the Book of Revelation repeatedly uses the number seven to represent completeness and fullness. In other words, in these letters we hear a comprehensive word from Christ...one intended not just for the first century, but for every church and every follower of Jesus all the way to today. So as we begin this series, we are invited to lean in, to listen carefully, and to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.

Shawn, special guest Brian, Justin and Cullan dive into Jesus teaching us that he came to heal sinners and not the righteous.

Psalm 96 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - We have one last Psalm as we enter the New Year. It's a song of joyful praise to the true and living God. And it's a song that calls us to spread the message of His worth to all the nations. “The Lord reigns,” the psalmist proclaims. “Declare his glory among the nations.” Our world is filled with worthless idols, but we must ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name. Join us as we worship God and seek to spread his fame across the earth…until all creation sings his praise!

Psalm 119:105-112 - Speaker: Josh MacAvoy - As we come to the end of the year, we will wrap up by looking at a passage of Scripture that invites us to pause and consider God's word as a whole; considering how we view it, why we trust it, and how we respond to it. Over the past year as a church, we have spent countless hours reading, hearing, singing about, and responding to God and his word. As we look ahead to the coming year, it is fitting to slow down and reflect on the very word to which we are devoted. In our shortened post-Christmas service, we will look to God and his word together. We look forward to what God will show us as we gather. To prepare, please read Psalm 119:105–112. Pray that God's word would be a lamp to your feet and a light to your path. And pray that as we enter a new year, with all that lies ahead, we would do so with an ear to God‘s voice and lives following him.

2 Corinthians 8:9 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - Every Christmas has its “must-have” gifts—but this message points to a gift that outshines them all. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 8–9, this sermon explores why Jesus is called God's inexpressible gift: the eternal Son who became poor so we could be made rich. You'll hear why the incarnation is the greatest act of generosity in history, how its purpose is our forgiveness and eternal inheritance, and why grace—not obligation—was the motive behind it all. Amid the noise of the season, this is a clear, compelling invitation to receive the greatest gift ever given.

2025-12-21 A Prophet Like Mosesby Pastor Chris BergScripture References:Genesis 3:14-1514 So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,“Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. 15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”Deuteronomy 18:9-149 When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. 10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you. 13 You must be blameless before the Lord your God.Deuteronomy 18:15-1915 The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your fellow Israelites. You must listen to him. 16 For this is what you asked of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, “Let us not hear the voice of the Lord our God nor see this great fire anymore, or we will die.” 17 The Lord said to me: “What they say is good. 18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth. He will tell them everything I command him. 19 I myself will call to account anyone who does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name.Romans 4:1-2 1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter? 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”Luke 22:2020 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.John 1:1111 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Hebrews 8:66 But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.John 1:19-2319 Now this was John's testimony when the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. 20 He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, “I am not the Messiah.” 21 They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.” 22 Finally they said, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” 23 John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, “I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.'”Acts 3:22-2322 For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you. 23 Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from their people.'John 4:25-2625 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” 26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”John 8:28-2928 So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me. 29 The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.”John 12:49-5049 For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken. 50 I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”John 6:3535 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.John 8:1212 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”John 10:99 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.John 10:1111 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.John 11:2525 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;John 14:66 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.Mandeville Bible Church   "Where God's Word is Our Foundation"https://www.mandevillebiblechurch.org/Come and see that God's Word is alive and at work right here in Mandeville.. and throughout the world!All are welcome. 217 Carroll Street, Mandeville, LA 70448Office Phone: (985) 626-3114Sunday Service: 9:30AMAdult Sunday School: 10:45-11:30AMNursery and Children's church available.

Psalm 130:1-8 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - We are just days away from Christmas but that doesn't mean everyone is enjoying joy and peace. As a matter of fact, some people feel like their sinking – sinking relationally, sinking financially, sinking spiritually. In Psalm 130, the author writes about the depths of life but then points us to our only hope. Wherever you are this Christmas, “hope in the Lord!”

Psalm 72 - Speaker: Will Galkin - Psalm 72 begins with King David praying that his son would be a good and righteous ruler. But it is not long into the psalm before the reader realizes that Solomon, or any other king, could never fully live up to what David is praying for. The very idealism of the prayer pushes us to look beyond every earthly ruler for its fulfillment. When Psalm 72 is read in light of the Abrahamic and Davidic covenants, it becomes clear that David's prayer can be fulfilled only in Christ. He alone is the rightful object of all praise, because he is the King who rules with righteousness, brings lasting peace, governs with compassion, and is worthy of all glory.
