The Lord is My Shepherd

Guest Speaker: Pastor John Richard – An exposition of Psalm 23:1-4

– The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well-known passages in Scripture, but what is the true meaning and context of the words David wrote, and how do they apply to the Christian life when it comes to dealing with trials? Pastor John Richard provides an expositional view of this text to show us.

The Philippian Church

Guest Speaker: Caleb Abernathy – An exposition of Philippians 1 (incl. supplemental passages)

– Paul wrote many letters to many different churches, but he had an especially strong love for the church at Philippi. However, his love for this church is not necessarily based upon the people themselves, but on something else having to do with a Christian’s unique perspective. A study of this love that Paul has for the Philippians reveals an application for the church today.

The Cup

Guest Speaker: Caleb Abernathy – An exposition of Matthew 26: 36-46 (including supplemental passages)

– On the night Christ was betrayed, He prayed in the garden of Gethsemane. There, Christ prayed with regard to the cup of God’s wrath which is to be poured out upon all sin, but which Christ Himself drank down to the dregs through His perfect, substitutionary sacrifice on the cross. Through this prayer, we see a beautiful picture of the heart of our Savior.

The Recipients

Guest Speaker: Pastor Tim Weeks – An exposition of 1 Peter 1:10-12

– That of which the prophets searched and inquired carefully about, that Word announced through those who preached by the Holy Spirit, and that thing into which angels long to look, is the Gospel of which we are the recipients.

By Faith

Guest Speaker: Pastor Tim Weeks – An exposition of 1 Peter 1:6-9

– It’s been said that “seeing is believing.” But is such a statement biblical? We as believers have not yet seen with our eyes the full glory that awaits us, but we press on through struggles and difficulties and through God’s refining fire knowing that God has promised us an inheritance. And because we know of what He has done for us, we have confidence that we can trust in Him. Therefore, we walk by faith.

Who You Are and What Hasn’t Changed

Guest Speaker: Pastor Tim Weeks – An exposition of 1 Peter 1:1-4 (incl. supplemental passages)

– Drawing a parallel to the struggles encountered by the early church when they were exiled and dispersed because of their faith, the contemporary Christian can also look to passages in 1 Peter which encourage us during our trials by admonishing us to remember who we are in light of the unchanging Truth of God’s Word.

Grace in Salvation

Dr. David Lackey – An exposition of Titus 2:11-14

– The Lord has bestowed upon us a great deal of grace in our salvation, and it’s this very grace that emboldens, strengthens, and motivates us to live a godly Christian life. It’s through the grace offered in salvation that we stand up in defense and proclamation of our Faith, and it’s by reflecting on and living out of this grace that we produce spiritual fruit.
