  9. 177The Word!Pastor Edwards preached a timely message titled, "The Word."  In today’s world, where opinions shift, interpretations differ, and trends constantly change, the Bible stands as an eternal, unchanging truth. As Christians, we need to have complete confidence that the Scriptures we hold are not just inspiring words; they are the very Word of God—alive, powerful, and fully trustworthy. Scripture references: II Timothy 3:16-17 II Peter 1:20-21 Psalm 119:105 Joshua 1:8 Matthew 24:35 Psalm 119:11 John 1:1 Proverbs 30:5 Isaiah 40:8 Isaiah 55:10-11 Hebrews 4:1257 min
  10. 178Leadership #1 The Importance of Good Christian LeadershipLeadership is foundational to any organization, but when it comes to the church—the body of Christ—leadership is essential to fulfilling God’s mission. Good Christian leaders aren’t just a bonus; they are a biblical necessity. Without strong, godly leaders, the church will struggle to thrive, to grow, and to reach the world with the gospel. Scripture References: Ephesians 4:11-12 I Corinthians 12:12 Exodus 18 Hebrews 13:7 I Timothy 3:1-7 Ephesians 4:3 I Corinthians 1:10 Matthew 28:19-20 "Good leadership in the body of Christ isn’t just important; it’s essential. Without strong, godly leaders, the church cannot fulfill its mission to equip the saints, grow in unity, or spread the gospel to the ends of the earth. I hope today’s episode has inspired you to reflect on the role of leadership in your own life, whether you are already serving or just starting to sense the call. Remember, leadership isn’t about a title; it’s about serving others and pointing them to Jesus."13 min
  11. 179Discipleship: Serving God, serving others1. Defining the Character of a Christian Galatians 5:22-23 (NKJV):'But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.' 2. A Heart to Serve Others Matthew 20:28 (NKJV), it says:'just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.' Philippians 2:3-4 (NKJV)'Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.' 3. A Heart to Serve God Colossians 3:23-24 (NKJV), 'And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.' Romans 12:1 (NKJV)'I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.'12 min
  12. 180Discipleship: The Character of Jesus: Submissive & ObedientPastor Edwards teaches on the character of the believer and specifically looks at the example of Jesus.

Philippians 2:5-8 So, how can we begin to cultivate a heart like Jesus'? Here are a few practical steps: Spend Time in God’s Presence – The more time we spend with God, the more we align our desires with His. Seek God’s Will First – In every situation, big or small, make it a habit to pray, 'Not my will, but Yours be done.' Be Willing to Let Go of Your Own Agenda – Recognize that God’s plan is better, even if it’s different from what we envisioned. Trust God’s Goodness – Submission and obedience require us to believe that God’s plans are for our good, even if we can’t see the full picture yet.14 min

  14. 182The Church! Part 2Pastor Edwards teaches on the mission of the church.  It has not changed since Jesus gave us the blueprints for it in Matthew 28:19-20.  The church must rise up and follow the great commission.  We have work to do! Matthew 28:19-20 NKJV: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, “teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. 1. The Church is Called to Make Disciples 15:16 (NKJV), Jesus says: "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain."  2.

Teaching is not just for knowledge but to help believers live godly, fruitful lives. 3. Baptizing New Believers Romans 6:4 (NKJV) "Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."  4.
