Evidence of the Resurrection | How does faith work?

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]

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

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.

Liberty in Jesus
December 28, 2014
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.

Mark – A Nation on Our Knees
October 26, 2014
Mark Wattenbarger
Brother Mark reads the letter from Jeremiah to the Israelite population in Babylon from Jeremiah Chapter 29 and reminds us of the prophet’s message to God’s people who were carried away by that wicked empire. He draws a parallel to our own time and plainly declares God’s people today are also in captivity and it is once again a captivity of our own making. However, for God’s people there is always hope even in the midst of a perverse generation.
