Nehemiah 1:5-11 ~ The Power of Prevailing Prayer ~ Pastor Bill Slabaugh
Tuesday Oct 04, 2016
Tuesday Oct 04, 2016
When Nehemiah prayed and wept before the Lord for months on end, God began to reveal to Nehemiah how he would be specifically used as an essential part of the answer. From Nehemiah's prayer, we learn how we collaborate with God in what He is doing. Prayer is how we stay in step with God in our families, in our churches, and in our communities. Prayer is spending time in God's presence, waiting on Him, until we know what to do.

When you begin to see a severe need; when you see the devastation and rubble in someone's life or maybe a ministry need that concerns several troubled and "rubbled" people, how can you begin to discern that God wants you to be specifically involved? How do you know when God is calling you to a ministry or to serve in a particular way? With Nehemiah as our example, we will see three particular principles from God's Word that will give you insight and direction.

There's a lot of talk about walls these days: The building of the wall along our border with Mexico; The walls that divide people or prevent them from opportunity. Are walls a good thing or a bad thing? And what happens when walls continue to be breached and a toehold of the enemy becomes a stronghold and then a stranglehold?

1 Corinthians 2:6-9 ~ How Things Go in God's Awesome Presence
Saturday Aug 20, 2016
Saturday Aug 20, 2016
The prophet Isaiah's prayer was, "Lord, show us the awesome things You do in Your Presence." When God comes down, He makes known His inescapable presence. The cry of Isaiah was answered when Christ came to earth as a man. It will be answered at Jesus's coming again. Isaiah's cry was answered on the Day of Pentecost. And it is also answered in each one of us who are filled with the Spirit of God. We should expect to see God do awesome things when we are aware of His presence.

2 Peter 1:19-21 ~ Inspiration - How the Holy Spirit Leads - Pastor Bill Slabaugh
Tuesday Aug 16, 2016
Tuesday Aug 16, 2016
While I was preaching this message, we were interrupted by the sound of a violent hail storm outside the church. God gave us a pertinent object lesson. I had talked about how at Pentecost there was the sound of violent rushing wind and the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit. As I was talking about how Scripture is God-Breathed and men were carried by the Holy Spirit in writing Holy Scripture, we heard the noise of the wind and the hail storm.

Christians, Government, and Politics ~ Pastor Bill Slabaugh

The presidential candidates are promising to "Make America Great Again." But no politician ever made America great nor can he or she make it great again. Likewise, a government cannot make a nation great. America's greatness can be traced solely to the work of God through His Church. And when we discover how, each one of us will also discover what our individual roles need to be if America is to be great again.

America's Best Citizens! It is true biblically and historically that when Christians sanctify Christ as Lord in their hearts, they are the best citizens any nation has--including Rome and the United States of America. This timely message will give you hope in this unfair world.

How are we to respond when we are treated unfairly or harshly? The apostle Peter shows us that if we truly want to make a difference in this world for Jesus Christ and His kingdom, it depends upon our godly response. And in one word, that response is to "submit." "Submit yourselves for the Lord's Sake."

With the political season in full swing, we need to understand the Christian's response and responsibility in politics and government. Of all things, according to the apostles of Jesus Christ, it begins with suffering. Greg Foster has written, "To this day the church remains an institution designed to serve a politically persecuted religion." This message is the first in a series about Christianity and politics.
