Ordinances of Communion, Fellowship, & Baptism
Articles of Faith #6: We believe that baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances of Jesus Christ, and that feet washing is an example, a duty, connected with the supper, and that true believers are the only subjects of either and should be practiced by the churches; and that baptism by immersion is the apostolic mode.

Elder Wattenbarger helps us understand the background for Paul’s powerful statement that, in the midst of trial and persecution, we should always be, “Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.”

Bill McCarthy
Bill discusses how the elite in this world always challenge God, but God in His wisdom always prevails. No problem is too difficult for God.
Text: Matthew 22; Romans 5:12.
Randy McCarthy
The world hates it when you tell the truth. In Matthew 23, the Lord Jesus condemns the Pharisees and scribes for their hypocrisy, and states that judgment for all the righteous blood that had been shed from Abel to Zechariah (Zecharias) would come upon that generation. Randy recounts the story of Zechariah, the brave prophet who was killed for speaking the truth, and who in his death prefigured the rejection and death of Christ.

Subject: Standing Against the Mob
In this sermon, Randy recounts the story of the death of wicked king Ahab as foretold by Micaiah the prophet. 1 Kings 22. Micaiah was hated by Ahab because he spoke the truth. Micaiah prophesied that in battle only king Ahab would be killed, and the rest of his men scattered, and this came to pass even though king Ahab disguised himself as a common soldier. Micaiah’s treatment by the king prefigured the suffering of Christ, and Micaiah’s prophecy was also fulfilled by Christ (strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered).

Old Testament Prophecy of Jesus
September 8, 2013
Randy McCarthy
Introduction: 1Cor 15:1-8
On the day that Jesus was raised from the dead, He began opening the understanding of his disciples to the OT scriptures which foretold the suffering, death, burial and resurrection of Christ (Luke 24:13-47).
Randy examined several prophecies in the writings of Moses (first five books of the OT) that demonstrate a suffering and triumphant Messiah, including the seed of the woman in Genesis 3, the offering of Isaac in Genesis 22 and the eight day festival of Passover (Exodus 12, Leviticus 23). With regard to the Passover, Jesus’s death was represented by the paschal lamb offered on the first day of the Passover feast and his glorified resurrection represented by the first fruits offering on the third day of the Passover feast (1 Cor 15:20).
