- 97Hired GunIn this message, we are coming to a big shift in the book of Judges. The era of the judges has ended. The people have gone off the deep end. We will soon see the lasting ramifications of the people's disobedience and their disdain for God's correction through the judges. This setup is eerily similar to what we are facing in our world today. The title of this message is "HIRED GUN".Can you see the similarities between the book of Judges and the current state of our nation? Do you understand what is at stake if we don't heed these lessons? 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.

- 98TruceIn this message, we are continuing our study through the life of Samson. Samson made what appeared on the surface to be questionable choices. However, when we understand the culture of that day and the circumstances in the book of Judges, Samson’s choices not only make sense but he is presented as the hero he was always intended to be. This even affects how we view communion. The title of this message is “TRUCE”.There is a gravity to the celebration of communion. How do you see the Lord’s Supper? Are you understanding more about the depth of Scripture and the picture of Christ in Judges? 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.

- 99WantedIn this message, we are continuing to work through Samson's account. Samson's downfall took the form of Delilah, a woman being forced by her people to betray Samson. The Philistines were desperately trying to overcome Samson's might. When God is using someone to mightily, it irritates those who are against God. As with every moment of Samson's life, there is an even deeper truth here that points toward Christ. The title of this message is "WANTED".How has this series changed the way that you see the book of Judges? Do you see Christ in their stories? 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.

- 100OutgunnedFor this message, we are continuing our study through the life of Samson. Samson’s strength was perplexing to his enemies, meaning he did not look the part of a strong man. His strength came from the Lord, and it was evidenced in his displays of power. Much like Samson, when we are made weak, then God has the opportunity to make us strong. This is not of our own power or might, but the power of God in us. The title of this message is “OUTGUNNED”.Do you desire God’s strength to be displayed in your life? Do you see God working in your weakness? 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.

- 101ShootoutIn this message, we begin to study the life of Samson. A popular figure, Samson is often portrayed as a cautionary tale. However, there is much we can learn from his life and his fighting against the Philistines. He clashed with them several times, even provoking them to battle at times. How does that affect our understanding of Samson and his status as a judge? We’ll examine this and more in our message titled “SHOOTOUT”.Does Samson provoking the Philistines change our understanding of his character? What can we learn from his interactions with them?~~~~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.

- 102VenomousIn this message, we are continuing to look at the circumstances surrounding the birth of Samson. There is so much that foreshadows the birth of Christ; very familiar language and similar details. This also shows how children are relentlessly under attack, especially today. There is a very real agenda behind most of the media we consume that seeks to completely misguide our children and destroy their lives. But just like we learned last weekend, this too is an old problem. We’ll unpack this and more in our message titled “VENOMOUS”.What can we do to protect our children? Is there any way to safeguard them from the attacks of the world and the enemy? Are you protecting the children God has entrusted to you? 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.

- 103InnocentsIn this message, we are examining the promise of a child to Samson’s parents. The promise of a coming child is not just a blessing, but a reference to the promise of a child in Genesis, the coming savior. Throughout history, Satan has made every attempt to attack our children, noticeable most recently in the abortion industry. It is because of his contempt for God’s plan of salvation that he has launched an assault on children in every generation. It is up to us to protect the lives of those who cannot protect themselves. We’ll unpack this and more in our message titled “INNOCENTS”.Do you see the attack on our children, especially with regard to abortion? What is your response? How are you standing up for those who can’t speak for themselves? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://a.co/d/b4ScMKMLISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 104Act of God, Man, and the DevilThe social media videos and pictures from Hurricane Helene will stay with us for the rest of our lives. It has been especially sad for Nicole, our kids, and me to watch them because for the past 22 years, we have been going to a Christian camp in Bryson City, North Carolina. We know some of the people who have been directly impacted by Hurricane Helene. Some of our church kids and families know those people as well. Their lives have been turned upside down. Today, I want to take a short break from our Judges series and take on the many questions that people have been asking since last weekend – Why did this happen? What could have been done better? What is God trying to tell us?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://a.co/d/b4ScMKMLISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 105SightingsIn this message, we will examine the precursors to Samson’s life. His parents encountered the angel of the Lord, who is much more than just an angelic messenger. Throughout the Old Testament, we see glimpses of the pre-incarnate Christ interacting with God’s people. What does this mean for our understanding of Scripture? How does this affect our view of Jesus? We’ll unpack this and more in our message titled “SIGHTINGS.”This series transforms our approach to understanding Scripture. We are learning to apply Christ's and the Christian life's filters. Are you growing in your walk with God? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://a.co/d/b4ScMKMLISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 106SteerThis weekend, we will encounter the next judge in Israel’s history: Jephthah. An enigmatic character, it is difficult to look at the circumstances of his life and determine how he can be the good guy, as we have learned the judges are in this series. However, Scripture includes him in the hall of faith listed in Hebrews. What can we learn from Jephthah’s life? We’ll unpack this and more in our message titled “STEER”.Is this series helping you to understand the judges and God’s Word in a new light? Do you see how God is shaping and molding you into the person he created you to be?

- 107ImposterIn this message, we learn about Gideon’s successor, Abimelech. He played the part of a leader of God’s people, but he was a power-hungry charlatan. God’s people disobeyed as a result of his leadership and suffered the consequences. The Holy Spirit of God wants to put us on to accomplish God’s work but will not work through someone who is faking their faith or going through the motions. The title of this message is “IMPOSTER”.Are you faking your relationship with God? Do you truly want God to use you in his plan? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://a.co/d/b4ScMKMLISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 108MisjudgedIn this message, we will continue to look at the life of Gideon. He is often regarded as a coward or opportunist because of his asking God for a sign, disciplining some of his people, making an ephod, etc. However, Gideon is never condemned as a coward or opportunist by Scripture. In fact, he is praised as a faithful judge over God’s people. We will learn why this misconception takes place in our message titled “MISJUDGED.”Do you misjudge God’s instruction? Do you doubt God’s ability to use you in his plan? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://a.co/d/b4ScMKMLISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 109RaidIn this message, we are continuing the study of Gideon. Gideon was something of a reluctant, but God used him and his men in ways that surprised even him. When we are willing and obedient, God can lead us through whatever obstacles we might be facing. This message is titled “RAID."Are you facing challenges that seem impossible? Do you believe that God can help you overcome those difficulties through his power and mercy?

- 110StraysIn this message, we will enter into the transitional period between Deborah and the next judge, Gideon. The tribes of Israel all made excuses as to why they couldn’t show up to fight Sisera. After the time of Deborah, God called Gideon as the judge; however, he was very reluctant to step into the calling that God had for him. We often respond the same way to God’s call, full of excuses and trepidation. The title of this message is “STRAYS”.Do you meet God’s calling with excuses? Are you submitting to him in your daily life? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://a.co/d/b4ScMKMLISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 111CalamityIn this message, we will examine the story of Deborah. Her story is often presented as one of the examples of the Bible elevating women, and indeed, that is true. However, as we will learn this weekend, there is much more to her than just being an example of God working through women. This message is titled “CALAMITY”.Do you see God working in your life? Are you surrounding yourself with people who make you bold? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://a.co/d/b4ScMKMLISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 112Dark HorseIn this message, we will examine one of the first judges of Israel: Ehud. At first glance, Ehud did not have a lot going for him. He didn’t fit the picture of an imposing leader who would liberate his people. However, God used him in extraordinary ways. The Christian life isn’t about checking off all the boxes of prerequisites. It is about being willing to be used by God and being obedient when your time comes. This weekend’s is titled “DARK HORSE”.Do you feel unqualified to be used by God? Are you wondering what God’s plan for your life might be? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://a.co/d/b4ScMKMLISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 113Bull-HeadedIn this message, we are taking a look at the cyclical nature of sin in the book of Judges. Repeatedly, God’s people fell into sin, suffered the consequences, and were delivered, only to go right back to the same sin! Times may have changed, but God’s people still have this same problem of returning to the same sin over and over again. This weekend’s message is titled “BULL-HEADED”.Do you find yourself returning to the same sin over and over? Do you want to know how to break free of this cycle? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://a.co/d/b4ScMKMLISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 114Under TributeThis is strikingly similar to the story of God’s people through the book of Judges. There is a cyclical nature to the narratives within the book that show God’s people failing to remember what God had done for them and what he had commanded them to do. The sinful cycle of disobedience has occurred in countries like England and, if we do not take action as believers, can occur here, too. The title of this weekend’s message is “UNDER TRIBUTE”.Are you allowing sin to pull your heart away from God? Are you struggling to remain faithful to God’s plan for your life in certain areas? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://a.co/d/b4ScMKMLISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 115Life SpanGod has gifted us life for more than just to survive or thrive. He wants us to face all the stages with the ups and downs, the good and the bad, in a way that brings the most glory to him. Ultimately, it’s not how we started or what we went through, but how we finished for Christ that matters.
- 116Till He ComesCommunion is something that is often misunderstood or dismissed as unimportant. Typically, this is because people are unaware of the significance of communion, especially as it relates to how we live the Christian life until Christ returns. We will examine this and more in this message titled “TILL HE COMES.”What significance does communion hold in your life? Are you worshipping in light of Christ’s return? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://a.co/d/b4ScMKMLISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 117HomesteadIn this message, we will pick up the account of Caleb promising his daughter, Achshah, to Othniel because he cleared the land of enemies. Achshah and Othniel came together and built something for the future, but there is a deeper truth about who Christ is for us to uncover in their story. The title of this message is “HOMESTEAD.”Do you believe that God is in control over your marriage? Do you understand that God is at work right now in your situation?

- 118The Good, the Bad, and the UglyIn this message, we will examine the beginning of the book of Judges. God’s people are tasked with driving out the enemy nations from the promised land. Through every battle, we are able to see God’s hand delivering enemies over to the children of Judah. The book of Judges reminds us that God is with us in fighting not just physical battles, but spiritual battles as well. The title of this message is “THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY.”Can you see how God is helping you overcome obstacles in your own life? Are you trusting him with the outcome of the situations lying before you?

- 119GPS Destination: Relationships Pt. 3In this message, we will continue to examine God’s plan for our relationships. We have talked about the wisdom in searching for God’s will in our relationships as well as the criteria to look for in a future spouse. However, we must also understand the role we have to play in this process. How much is God responsible for and how much are we responsible for when it comes to looking for your significant other? Join us as we answer these questions and more in this message titled “GPS DESTINATION: RELATIONSHIPS PT. 3”.Are you sitting back and waiting for God to do all the work when it comes to finding a spouse?

- 120GPS Destination: Relationships Pt. 2In this service, we are looking at an important step in finding and keeping a relationship, is knowing what matters, what doesn’t, and what can be worked on. When you are dating a person and you see something in them that you are not sure of, ask yourself, “Can I see myself living with that for the rest of my life?” Most importantly, ask yourself, “Can I see Christ in him/her?” We will examine these questions and more in this message titled “GPS DESTINATION: RELATIONSHIPS PT. 2”.Are you seeking God’s will for your dating relationships?
