Evidence of the Resurrection | How does faith work?
March 22, 2015
Randy McCarthy
Evidence of the Resurrection
Referenced Scriptures: [Acts 17:20-34; 1Corinthians 15:1-8; 1Corinthians 2:14; Matthew 26:31; Zechariah 13:7; Matthew 28:5-10]
Mark Wattenbarger
How does faith work? “…through faith we understand..””…but without faith it is impossible to please God ….” Knowledge and belief make our faith stronger; we believe in that which we know exists, but we must also trust in the source of our knowledge and belief; therefore, knowledge, belief, and trust are key aspects of our faith.
Referenced Scriptures: [Mark 16:9-14; Luke 24:24-31; Hebrews 11:1-6; II Thessalonians 3:1-2; Romans 10:13-14; 2Timothy 2:19; John 3:2-3; 2Samuel 22:1-3; Proverbs 3:5; Daniel 3:16-19]

Bill – The Good Samaritan /Randy – Jesus Healing Through Faith
March 8, 2015
Randy introduced services by reading from Ecclesiastes 2:1-17 and admonishes us that our happiness does not depend on the things we can obtain, but the joy comes in the labor itself and not in the final thing; therefore, let us enjoy our life under the sun as we labor together in the Lord’s Vineyard.
Bill McCarthy Brother Bill commented briefly about how some of our older ministers of the past thought they had to prove our doctrine by quoting a multitude of Scriptures, but in his latter years, he has come to realize that the number of Scriptures quoted are not nearly as important as teaching a lesson that can be remembered from one or two.
Brother Bill then read from Luke 10:25-42, centering in on the question of the lawyer in verse 29, “Who is my neighbour?” In answer to the lawyer’s question, he then preached a very edifying message about Jesus’ parable of “The good Samaritan.” He summed up his remarks with the lesson of Mary and Martha, by admonishing us that in all our service to the Lord, to not forget to choose as Mary “that good part, which shall not be taken away.”
Randy McCarthy Brother Randy read a passage of Scripture from Mark 9:14-29, drawing a contrast between the words of Jesus in verses 19 & 23, “O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you?” and “If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.”
He then read the following eight passages of Scriptures, and asked two question: “What is the common denominator in these eight passages?” and “What are the lessons being taught in the healings of Jesus? ” Matt 9:22; Matt 15:28; Mark 10:52; Luke 17:19; Luke 5:20-24; Luke 7:47-50; Matt 8:2-3; Luke 7:6-9
Brother Randy then challenged us to compare and contrast the above eight Scriptural passages to Matthew 13:58, “And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.” Here is the next question for us to ponder, “Will God work today where there is no faith being shown?” Jesus said, “If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.”

Sovereignty of God in Election
February 22, 2015
Bill McCarthy introduced reading from John chapter 10. John 10:1-11, Isa. 43:7
Mark Wattenbarger
The Sovereignty of God in Election
In this message Brother Mark reminds us the sovereignty of God affects the choosing out of God’s children, the doctrine we call election. In Ezekiel, Brother Mark speaks about the will of God as he passed by and declared, “Live!” Our natural state of sin prohibits us from entering in to God’s eternal kingdom but thank God he exercised His sovereignty and adopted us. – Eph 1:4-5; Ezek 16:1-6; Genesis 12:1-4; Deut 7:6-9; Rom 9:11-13; John 6:32-44
