April 3, 2016

1 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth; 2 For the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. 3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. 5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

The Biblical Pattern for Trusting God
February 14, 2016
John Harvey opened services by reading from the first chapter of the letter of Philippians and encouraging us to seek and walk in the fellowship of Christ, both with one another and with God.
Text: Phil 1:3-5
Scriptural References: Eph 3:8-7; Matt 11:3-5: 1 Cor 1:9; Rev 5:9; Acts 2:41-42; 2 Cor 8:2-3
Randy McCarthy followed up by discussing what he termed, “the biblical pattern for trusting God.” Randy read from Exodus 14 regarding the deliverance of the nation of Israel by allowing them to pass through the Red Sea on the dry sea bed. While this is a notable miracle, it is attested by several archeological and historical sources. As the nation camped on the beach next to the sea, they discovered themselves hemmed in by the pursing army of Pharoah. They naturally cried out in fear, wondering why God had led them to this place where they would be destroyed. God told Moses to tell the people, “Fear ye not, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.” Exod 14:13. From this Randy pointed out a sequence that often takes place in the lives of people blessed by God in the Bible (e.g., Abraham, Job, Joshua, David, Paul, etc.), as well as a sequence that we often experience ourselves. Initially, God gives us a promise that, after perhaps us being unwilling to believe, we come to the place where we do believe God. We feel great relief and go forward confidently, trusting that God will bless us. It is often at this point when very serious troubles begin; we may be faced with a terrible, fearful situation, such as here with Pharoah’s army behind the nation and the impassable Red Sea in front. What usually happens to us in our lives is exactly what happened to the nation of Israel – we cry out in fear and unbelief. God nevertheless calls on us to not be afraid, stand up, stand still, and watch as He delivers us in a spectacular and wondrous way. We should therefore not faint when our faith is tested, but instead understand that as we travel in this world as followers of Christ, we should expect both what appear to be impossible problems and amazing, miraculous deliverances from God.

The Gospel Brings Relief to Our Self-Condemnation
February 7, 2016
Randy McCarthy
In this third sermon that Randy delivers on our Conscience, he points out that God has given us His commands regarding right from wrong in different ways, such as through the natural law that is written on our hearts (Rom 2:5) and the Mosaic Law (Acts 13:39). Randy points out that these forms of law condemn us, cause our conscience to accuse us, and there is no mechanism in these forms of law to bring us relief. By contrast, the Gospel brings us relief to our condemnation when we believe on Christ and follow Him in a conversional sense. Randy illustrated this by discussing the woman who was taken in adultery (in John 7:37 to John 8:12). Jesus had previously cried out offering living (moving) waters to those who thirsted and came to him in faith (John 7:37). There was much self-righteous scoffing of these words by the religious leaders (Pharisees), and the next day these unbelieving men sought to trap the Lord Jesus by casting a woman before Him who had been taken in the act of adultery, demanding whether she should be stoned in accordance with the Law of Moses. Jesus responded by writing in the dust on the temple floor, stood and challenged that a man without sin cast the first stone at her, and then commenced to write again in the dust. The men then left one by one, being convicted by their own consciences, until all were gone. We don’t know what was written, but it was apparently important and led to their condemnation. Randy suggested that Jesus may have written the text from Jeremiah 17:13 (O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.). Randy suggested that Jesus wrote this as a warning to these self-righteous men, and because they continued to demand of Him, it is possible that Jesus began to write their names and their sins in the earth, in fulfillment of this prophecy. By contrast, Jesus extended mercy and forgiveness to the woman, telling her that He did not condemn her, and that she should go forth and not sin any more. This is a wonderful illustration of how Jesus, through the Gospel, cleanses us.
Bill McCarthy followed up with closing comments on how we should be meek, which means to be submissive to the will of God as we present ourselves to all men. Titus 3:2-3; Gal 5:22.
