April 6, 2014
5th Sunday March – Keith / Mark / Randy
March 30, 2014
Keith West
Topic: Christianity Portrayal in the Media
Keith discusses how Christianity is portrayed in today’s media, and contrasts two recent films, one of which remains faithful to Scripture and one that does not. Keith encouraged us to study our bibles diligently so that we will not take false presentations of the Scriptures and believe them to be true, which happens to many in today’s culture.
Mark Wattenbarger
Topic: Spiritual Warfare
Mark discussed the spiritual warfare of believers (2 Corinthians 10:4). There is much in the world with which to disagree. However, Scripture teaches the Christian does not fight sin and deception in the same manner, and with the same weapons, with which the world fights. It is a battle for the mind, and every thought should be obedient to God’s will just like our every action.
Randy McCarthy
Topic: Luke Chapter 15
Randy presented an overview of Luke 15 including the parables of the lost sheep, the lost silver piece and the prodigal son. While these parables teach the beauty of God’s grace in His willingness to seek and save that which was lost, Randy stressed that these parables are really about our reaction when God blesses someone else. We should not be like the resentful older brother, but instead we should rejoice as the angels in heaven do when God extends mercy to a sinner.

Randy – Regeneration & Conversion
March 9, 2014
Randy McCarthy
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Randy discusses what Primitive Baptists believe regarding the doctrines of regeneration and conversion. Regeneration is the sovereign act of God to speak life to a child of God and make him, in that instant, fit for heaven at his death – this is what is normally referred to as “being born again.” But Randy also stressed that conversion, which is an act of God (and the will of a regenerate man) to turn to God in repentance and obedience, is also presented in the bible in terms of a new birth.
