Various October 8, 2026 PM.In this study, we continue to focus our attention on the topic of being teachable from the book of Proverbs. This time, we considered how an unteachable spirit will manifest itself and the consequences that are experienced by those who despise instruction or correction.

Various October 4, 2026 PM.We have given definition to the term Dispensationalism. Then we considered the practical usefulness of this approach to understanding Scripture. Last time, we got down to the proposal at the center of this series, that we should maintain in our minds a clear distinction between Israel, the church, and the future kingdom. In this message we continued to look at Acts 1:3-8 and some other passages that demonstrate clearly the distinction. We also mention that it is helpful to keep the kingdom (in the age to come) distinct in our minds from eternity, which will follow the kingdom and be somewhat similar to it.

Romans 12:1-2 October 4, 2026 AM.In Romans 12:1-2, the Bible urges us to live as holy offerings to God, not being conformed to the sinful world's values, but having our minds continuously renewed with God's word and will at the center of our lives. This is how God changes our minds from our prior state in darkness and depravity to being able to put into practice His will.

Colossians 1:15-18 October 4, 2026 Lord's Table.The Apostle Paul gives us a magnificent description of who the Christ is in his letters to the Colossians. Christ is the image of God--He is Deity; Christ is Creator; Christ is Sustainer; Christ is the Head of the Church; Christ is the Firstborn from the dead--His resurrection was the first in rank and time, guaranteeing the resurrection of the bodies of NT believers in the future. All of these descriptions of Christ attest that Christ is preeminent over everything.

Various September 30, 2026 PM.Our sin nature makes it hard for us to be teachable, but the book of Proverbs--and the rest of Scripture for that matter--rests on a willingness to be taught by it. To be teachable has to do more with the posture of the heart than one's intellect. Arrogance in the heart of a person makes him resistant to the counsel, instruction, or rebuke of others. But the book of Proverbs calls those wise who love instruction and cherish the correction of others. A person manifests himself to be unteachable by his harsh reaction, dismissive tone, and argumentative spirit. A teachable spirit brings great blessing and is evidence of spiritual maturity.

Various September 27, 2026 PM.In this message, we consider seven helps to handling the very common problem of anxiety and fear. They are: By diagnosing it. By planning in advance how to handle it By knowing God ← this is key By prayer and supplication. By godly living. By humbly casting our cares. By being content.

Romans 12:1-2 September 27, 2026 AM.Since we have completed our series in 2 Corinthians, we turn our to several topics that merit our careful attention. The first has to do with the difficult problem of changing our minds, or changing the minds of others. The mind is a very hard thing to change. We look at some cautions about how changing someone else's mind should not be done, and how we must rely on God's help. We then examined several passages of Scripture concerning the state of mind that exists in someone who does not trust in Christ. Finally, we looked Ephesians 4:20-24 concerning what happens to our minds at the time we become Christians. One matter remains for a future message, namely what continuing work God wants to happen in our minds as we mature in our Christian faith.

Acts 1:3-8 September 27, 2026 SS.Two weeks ago we began to look at what exactly Dispensationalism is. Last week we considered the practical usefulness of this approach to understanding Scripture. In this message, Pastor Postiff offered his proposal that we maintain in our minds a clear distinction between Israel, the church, and the future kingdom. In this connection we looked at some of the things that raise confusion among God's people about the kingdom, particularly its timing and its nature. Then we studied some in Acts 1:3-8 about how the Lord told the disciples that they are not to concern themselves with the times and seasons regarding the kingdom of God, but rather are to focus on testifying about Jesus to the world. In other words, we are to focus on the church task God has given us, and leave the kingdom for its own later dispensation.

Luke 10:2 August 19, 2026 PM.Missionary David Flinck gives a report about the church plant in Arica, Chile, and a challenge from Luke 10:2.

Jude 1:1-25 September 23, 2026 PM.Jude’s letter is a timely reminder to churches at the end of the first century as well as throughout all of the church age. The church and its doctrine were well established nearly four decades after Christ’s ascension. But heresies and wrong doctrines began to spread quickly, and are still with us today. Jude reminds us that the gospel requires constant vigilance. It is like freedom in the political realm…it is never more than one generation away from extinction. Although God’s power guarantees that the gospel will never disappear entirely, it may disappear in your town, your church, or your family, if you do not hold fast to the truth.

2 Corinthians 13:7-14 September 20, 2026 PM.We finished the morning message, specifically looking at four methods or angles we can use to examine ourselves: looking at the Scriptures, at ourselves, avoiding morbid introspection by quickly and thoroughly looking to God and Jesus, and examining whether we have had growth in our faith. These angles cover all the bases of Christian assurance and help us see, on an objective basis, whether we are truly walking with the Lord. Paul closes 2 Corinthians by praying that the believers would stop doing evil things and that they would be restored to wholeness in their relationship with the Lord and with each other. He then gives a few exhortations to them to rejoice, to be restored, to be encouraged, to be united in one mind, and live in peace instead of all the upheaval and discord of the recent past. He prays that the Triune God will pour out upon them grace, love and fellowship.

2 Corinthians 13:5-6 September 20, 2026 AM.The Corinthians had been putting Paul to the test, but now Paul is turning the tables and putting them to the test. They wanted proof that Christ is working in Paul; Paul wanted proof that Christ was in them too! And so it should be for us—instead of looking at everyone else and comparing ourselves to them (10:12) we ought to be measuring ourselves by the ruler of God’s Word, the gospel, sound doctrine, good holy practice, the presence of Christ in our midst. Although for Christians the expected outcome of the examination is a good result, it is still imperative that we "examine ourselves" to be sure that we are in the faith, and that Christ is in us.

Various September 20, 2026 SS.This message is a sidebar to the short series of message Pastor Matt began last week about the distinction between the church and the kingdom. In this message, we see how useful the Dispensational approach to the Bible is. It explains the differences between the church and Israel, how in earlier ages less was known about God and His ways than in our present era, how future events are going to unfold and thus how we should conduct ourselves today in light of them. Dispensationalism explains how not every promise in the Bible belongs to us today in a direct fashion, and it gives us a framework for interpreting the whole Bible, not just the parts that have to do with future events.

Proverbs 12:25 September 16, 2026 PM.The book of Proverbs addresses an issue highly relevant to adolescents and young adults: anxiety and depression. Proverbs 12:25 explains that prolonged anxiety leads to depression. COVID-19 caused many young people to plummet into depression. Relationship problems, broken marriages, college debt, and a demanding job—all these have caused many an anxious feeling in a person. Proverbs 12:25 also tells us that a "good word" can cheer the heart and make it glad. That is the antidote to anxiety. As Christians, we ought to offer encouraging words to those who are despondent. What better word than the Word of God, which is able to restore joy and hope in the heart of a person!

2 Corinthians 13:1-4 September 13, 2026 PM.We continued the morning's service sermon in 2 Corinthians 12 by completing the discussion of Paul's hesitancy to visit, particularly with regard to how the Corinthians are not going to like how Paul has to handle things. We then jumped into chapter 13 verses 1-4 and saw how the apostle Paul resolved that he will powerfully deal with the sin in the Corinthian church, for the sake of the church. Despite the apostle’s misgivings about his upcoming visit, he has to carry through for the good of the church. He does not seem inclined to give up on them!
