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.

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

Randy McCarthy talks about The Name of God.
Mark Wattenbarger reminds us the sovereignty of God involves His acts of will especially in the work of salvation. If God speaks, it stands fast. Beginning in Psa. 40:5, Brother Mark speaks of the declaration of a sovereign God who says man at his best is vanity.

Randy McCarthy introduces services by reading Philippians 1:1-11. In this thank you note written to the Church at Philippi, Paul rejoices in the fellowship in Christ Jesus he has enjoyed with the saints there, and the joy they have had together in the Lord. Paul identifies four areas in which he encourages the church to continue to grow in their devotion to Christ: to abound in love, to approve those things that are excellent, to be sincere and without offense, and to be filled with the fruits of righteousness.
Mark Wattenbarger speaks of the liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, teaching from Galatians 3:1-5. Mark echoes Paul’s charge that it is “foolish” to think that we can add to, or in any way contribute to, the eternal redemption that has been given us through the perfect work of Jesus Christ the Lord. Instead, God has called us to walk in righteousness as a result of the great gift of God’s Son.

Doing All Things Well
After reading some history of (American) Thanksgiving [Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation], Mark reminds us the reason for our ability to give thanks each day is the sure truth that God always does everything right and well.(Mark 7:20-23, 31-37); (Gen 4:1-8)
