Randy & Bill McCarthy
April 6, 2014
5th Sunday March – Keith / Mark / Randy
March 30, 2014
Keith West
Topic: Christianity Portrayal in the Media
Keith discusses how Christianity is portrayed in today’s media, and contrasts two recent films, one of which remains faithful to Scripture and one that does not. Keith encouraged us to study our bibles diligently so that we will not take false presentations of the Scriptures and believe them to be true, which happens to many in today’s culture.
Mark Wattenbarger
Topic: Spiritual Warfare
Mark discussed the spiritual warfare of believers (2 Corinthians 10:4). There is much in the world with which to disagree. However, Scripture teaches the Christian does not fight sin and deception in the same manner, and with the same weapons, with which the world fights. It is a battle for the mind, and every thought should be obedient to God’s will just like our every action.
Randy McCarthy
Topic: Luke Chapter 15
Randy presented an overview of Luke 15 including the parables of the lost sheep, the lost silver piece and the prodigal son. While these parables teach the beauty of God’s grace in His willingness to seek and save that which was lost, Randy stressed that these parables are really about our reaction when God blesses someone else. We should not be like the resentful older brother, but instead we should rejoice as the angels in heaven do when God extends mercy to a sinner.

Faith
March 23, 2014
Bill McCarthy introduced services.
Mark Wattenbarger
Brother Mark takes us through the initial verses of Hebrews Chapter 12 to discuss the life of faith. Though it may be difficult to define, Scripture teaches us the life of faith is best defined by the actions we take. Abel, Abraham, Sara, Moses, Gideon, and others mentioned in Scripture are our evidence of what faithful lives look like. But, as the Spirit inspired Paul to write, our highest and best example of living faithful to the will of the Father is Jesus.

Randy – Regeneration & Conversion
March 9, 2014
Randy McCarthy
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Randy discusses what Primitive Baptists believe regarding the doctrines of regeneration and conversion. Regeneration is the sovereign act of God to speak life to a child of God and make him, in that instant, fit for heaven at his death – this is what is normally referred to as “being born again.” But Randy also stressed that conversion, which is an act of God (and the will of a regenerate man) to turn to God in repentance and obedience, is also presented in the bible in terms of a new birth.

Mark Wattenbarger
Subject: Putting off the Old Life and Putting on the New
Brother Mark focuses on the scriptural teachings surrounding putting off the old life and putting on the new. God encourages His children to be holy as he is holy. From the Old to the New Testament, God’s children are exhorted to distinguish between the clean and the unclean and to make their daily lifestyle a reflection of the holiness of their Lord and to set themselves apart from the corrupt world.

The Visions of Zechariah | Walking Worthy
January 26, 2014
Randy McCarthy discusses the rebuilding of the second temple in Jerusalem (around 520 B.C.) as chronicled in the books of Ezra, Haggai, and Zechariah. Randy examined the 8 night visions of Zechariah as recorded in chapters 1-6 (Zech 1:7-6:15), with emphasis on the vision of the BRANCH in Zech Chapter 3.
Mark Wattenbarger focuses on the letter to the Church of Ephesus. In the midst of divine culture, with all manner of influences; the scripture teaches us to walk worthy of our vocation (Eph 4:1-2), and to put forward the effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit (Eph 4:3).
