- 49God's Devil: What Job Teaches Us About Satan's Power and LimitsIn this message, we will turn our attention toward another character from the account of Job: the devil. Throughout history and popular culture, the devil has been misinterpreted or misrepresented. We often think of him as an opposing force to God, but is this really true? Pray for me as I preach this message, because we will uncover the truth from Job about God’s devil.Do you understand that the devil is a very real and present danger? Where does he fall in the hierarchy of spiritual powers? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: https://clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://a.co/d/b4ScMKMLISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 50How to Endure When You Lose EverythingThis message, I believe, will be an encouragement and help to so many who are struggling through some of the darkest moments of their lives. The narrative of Job is a master class is processing trauma. Not all trauma is the same and not all people handle trauma in the same way. God in his wisdom gave us the account of Job to help us learn how to properly navigate trauma in our own lives while keeping our focus on him.How do you see the trauma in your life? Are you trusting God in the midst of suffering? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: https://clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://a.co/d/b4ScMKMLISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 51Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?As we head toward the holidays, I want to begin a series to help us sort through the emotions these months can bring. Our culture emphasizes self-care, but what about spiritual self-care? In this weekend’s message, we will examine the life of Job. Although he encountered intense hardship, Job remained focused on God. This message will help us understand how to do that as well.Are you looking forward to this holiday season or dreading it? Do you have difficulty devoting time to your relationship with God? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: https://clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://a.co/d/b4ScMKMLISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 52The Foreknowledge of GodIn this message, we will examine God's foreknowledge. Paul says that God “foreknew” his people. That terminology has raised many questions over the years. Does that mean that God knows the future and makes decisions based on his knowledge? And if he knows who will be saved, why does he create those who won’t choose him?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: https://clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://a.co/d/b4ScMKMLISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 53Preaching is Not Just for PastorsIn this message, we continue walking through the book of Romans. Paul addresses the topic of preaching and its unique place in God's plan. Personal evangelism is obviously essential, but there is something special and important about a man of God opening the Bible and exhorting, admonishing, and encouraging a body of believers. What place does preaching have in the plan of God?How do you see the time of preaching? What role does preaching play in people coming to know the Lord? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: https://clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://a.co/d/b4ScMKMLISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 54Election Explained: God's Choice or Yours?We are in our series on end-times prophecy, looking specifically at how God’s plans for Israel remain intact. In this message, we turn our attention to the doctrine of election. This divisive doctrine has sparked considerable contention throughout the ages. But what does the Bible actually teach about election? Does God choose in advance who will be saved?What does the doctrine of election mean, and how does it affect you? Does God choose who will be saved and who won’t? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: https://clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://a.co/d/b4ScMKMLISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 55Entering the Christ-TimeI want to explore the book of Romans further, specifically focusing on time. As humans, we understand time in a very linear sense. However, our understanding should shift after we receive Christ. Time is perceived differently, past, present, and future, because God is outside of time. This message will help us understand the fulfillment of God’s promises, especially those to the nation of Israel!Is time linear or apocalyptic? How does a relationship with Christ change the way we see the fulfillment of God’s promises? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: https://clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://a.co/d/b4ScMKMLISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 56Why Christianity Needs IsraelIn this message, we are moving into the second act of our series, focused on Israel and how God still has a heart for his people. There is a lot of conversation around Israel in our world today, and much of it is unprofitable and negative. This message will help us in our understanding of Israel’s place in God’s plan currently and in the future. What is your view of Israel? How do you respond when others talk about God’s people? Are you saved?
- 57Martyrdom and Mission: How God Turns Death into LifeIn this message, we will be taking a look at the life and ultimately martyrdom of Stephen in the book of Acts. Nothing is wasted in the Christian life. In fact, some of the darkest moments in history have been the catalyst for the gospel of Jesus Christ being powerfully proclaimed in the world. Salvation demonstrates God's power to bring people from death to life.Have you found yourself wondering where you stand with God? Can you see how God is at work in the world around you?

- 58A Legacy That Outlasts YouIn light of the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, this sermon will be focused on how to leave a godly legacy. What does our life say after we are gone? What impact will our choices, words, and faith have on the generations that follow?How do you see the events in the world today? What will you be remembered for?

- 59Find Your Place: Using God's Gifts in the ChurchChurch is about much more than just coming and sitting in a pew, listening to the message, and then going home. Church is a place to belong; a family to which we are connected. The gifts and abilities that God gives us are meant to be used to serve the body of Christ. There are lots of ways to do that, but not using those gifts makes it difficult to connect and grow in your faith. Are you serving in church? Where is God calling you to use your gifts? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: https://clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://a.co/d/b4ScMKMLISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 60The Secret to Reconciliation? Service!In this message, I want to examine the solution for dysfunction in our relationships. Every relationship experiences conflict at some point. However, how do we protect our relationships from falling apart and truly move toward reconciliation for relationships that have been damaged? The answer might just surprise you!Are there people who have hurt you? What is the condition of your friendships and family relationships?

- 61The Truth About ‘Toxic Families’ No One Wants to AdmitIn this message, we will begin a series on dealing with dysfunction in the family. It has become increasingly popular to label families, parents, and upbringing as dysfunctional, and perhaps that is justified. However, many times, we lack an understanding of what true dysfunction looks like. This series will help us understand our own upbringing, its impact on our current worldview, and implications for our own families.How would you characterize your childhood? Do you truly understand what dysfunction looks like and how it affects us?

- 62Communion and Prayer: Returning to the Early Church PatternSharing a meal together was not a novel concept in the ancient world. In fact, the Romans were known for their lavish banquets. While there are some similarities, the Lord’s Supper is unique among banquets and feasts. There is a much deeper meaning beyond just eating at the same time and in the same place.This is a special tradition for our church family. Pray and ask God to prepare your heart for the message as we celebrate communion together this weekend!~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: https://clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://a.co/d/b4ScMKMLISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 63So...Can Christians Drink Alcohol OR NOT?In this weekend’s message, we will continue the discussion on a Christian’s approach to alcohol and drinking. Our view of alcohol doesn’t just impact us, but those around us, especially those who struggle with addiction. Our actions, even our speech, can become a stumbling block for others. We will talk about how to avoid that and more this weekend.Invite your friends and family to worship with us and to hear the message this weekend at Clearview.

- 65Stop Arguing About Predestination!In this message, we come to one of the potentially troublesome words in Romans 8: predestination. There has been much debate over the years as to what this word actually means and how it impacts our view of God, salvation, and evangelism. Most of the time, the ends of the spectrum that people are familiar with are Calvinism or Arminianism. I believe neither side has gotten it right. Rather, like most things, the truth is somewhere in the middle.Where do you fall in the Calvinist vs. Arminian debate? Do you understand the implications of your stance on this issue?

- 66Who Kicked God Out of the Public Square?In this message, we will examine what the Bible says about Christians being involved in the public square. There is a pervasive misunderstanding of what the separation of church and state truly means. People, usually those with an anti-Christian agenda, use this rhetoric to claim that Christians have no place in the political sector. That was never the original intent and is an entirely harmful line of reasoning, not only for believers but for America as a nation. What will it take to return us to being “one nation under God?”How do you see the role of the believer in the public square? What does the Bible say?

- 67When You Can’t Pray to God…God Prays for You!In this message, we are resuming our study of the Holy Spirit. A few weekends ago, we discussed the Spirit and his role within the Trinity. However, the Holy Spirit ministers to us more than we may realize. There is a reason that Jesus described him as a helper to us. Understanding the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives is critical to our study of end-times prophecy and of the Bible as a whole!What do you think the Holy Spirit’s role is in your life? How does he help in times of need?

- 68Is Your Life Messy?Join us as we delve into Proverbs 14:4, connecting its wisdom to the Christian life of death, burial, and resurrection in Christ.In this message, I want to talk about what to do when life gets messy. Some people shut down, others get frustrated, still others lash out at those around them, the perceived sources of the mess. However, the mess is simply a sign that life is happening. Making this mental shift could be the difference between being frustrated by a mess and being fruitful because of one.Does your life feel like a mess? Are you struggling to find order in the chaos?

- 69What If Your Suffering Is Making You Beautiful?In this message, we will see that creation itself is eagerly awaiting the return of Christ and its liberation from sin. The world around us experiences the effects of sin in the form of natural disasters, disease, and death. However, there is coming a day when Jesus will return to do away with this distorted creation and usher in a new heavens and new earth.Do you see how sin affects the world around us? Can you imagine what the new heavens and new earth will be like? Are you saved?

- 70You’re Not Who You Used to Be—So Why Live Like It?In this message, we will continue our study of the Holy Spirit. Paul writes in Romans that the Holy Spirit serves as our intercessor, going before God the Father on our behalf. Understanding the work of the Holy Spirit is vital to our growth and maturity as believers. Being spirit-minded is how we take our eyes off this world and focus them on Christ.~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: https://clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://a.co/d/b4ScMKMLISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 71Spirit-Minded or Flesh-Driven? Why Trying Harder Doesn't WorkDiscover the Holy Spirit's role as the counselor and the comforter that leads us in our daily walk with Christ!In this message, we will take a look at what it means to set your mind upon spiritual things. Our thoughts reveal the posture of our hearts. If your mind perpetually wanders toward carnal desires, it may be that your heart has replaced God with another object of worship or desire. To fix our minds, we must fix our hearts and submit them to the Lord.What do your thoughts say about your heart? What are you most concerned?

- 72War Within (Pt. 3)Discover the path from bondage under sin to the liberating freedom found in union with Jesus Christ, and the role of the Holy Spirit!In this message, we will continue to examine the war within us between our old sinful flesh and the Holy Spirit. What we fill ourselves with is where our hearts will lie. If we are focused on the things of this world and of the flesh, that is where our focus will be. However, if we focus on God and what his will for our lives is, our minds will be focused on heavenly things.Where do you find your thoughts most often drifting? Are you preoccupied with the things of God or with the things of the world and of the flesh?
