- 121Rejecting Jesus is Choosing HELL Forever!In this message, we are setting our sights on eternity. We have talked about the promise of our resurrection one day. However, there is also a coming judgment. Those who are not believers will enter a terrible fate of torment and separation from God. There are those who would downplay or disagree with it, but the Bible is clear that hell is a real place and a real consequence of rejecting salvation. This weekend will help answer some serious questions and help us articulate the gospel to our friends and family members.What is your view of hell? Do you believe that there are eternal consequences for earthly rebellion and disobedience? 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.

- 122GPS Destination: Relationships Pt. 1This message will examine how to determine God’s plan for us regarding relationships. This is a common question, especially among teenagers and young adults. Does God have a plan for who you date and eventually marry, or are there general principles to guide us? We will examine these questions and many more in this weekend’s message titled “GPS DESTINATION: RELATIONSHIPS PT. 1”.Are you seeking God’s will for your dating relationships? Does God have a plan for who you marry?

- 123SanctificationSalvation is not just about forgiveness for my sins, it is also about deliverance from sin. It’s not just about forgiveness for what I have done, it is also about deliverance from who I am. It's not just about Christ dying for my sins, it is also about Christ delivering me from the power of sin through the Holy Spirit. This is Sanctification.
- 124One Day, YOU Will Be Physically Resurrected!In this sermon, we will be taking a look at what happens after we die, specifically where we will go. What happens when we die? Do souls go to heaven or hell, or is there somewhere else that is a precursor to our eternal destination? We will answer these questions and more in this message titled “DEATH DETHRONED: INTERMEDIATE.”As we approach Easter, our minds naturally turn toward Christ’s death and resurrection, but there is so much that we must understand about what comes next for us after we die.

- 125GPS Destination: CareerIn this message, we will look at how to determine God’s plan for our career. This is often a question for people, either when they graduate and embark on the next chapter of their lives or when they feel dissatisfied with their current job. Is it possible to know God’s will regarding your career? Does what you do for a living play a role in your relationship with God or vice versa? We will examine these questions in this message titled “GPS DESTINATION: CAREER”.Are you struggling to find God’s will for your career? Do you see God’s plan for your work?

- 126GPS: Starting RouteThis weekend, we will begin our series by understanding how to discern God’s will for our lives. That is one of the most common questions I get from people. It’s a great question, but people often overcomplicate the answer. We will learn more about God’s will for us and how we can make sure we stay obedient to him in this weekend's message "STARTING ROUTE".Do you need help understanding God’s will? Do you want to make sure you are making the best decisions for your future and for your family?

- 127Inside Out: Ministry of the ThornIn this message, we come to our final message in this series. We have learned about the difference between stress and trauma and how to help others, especially children and teens, through traumatic events in life. This weekend, we will talk about the purpose of suffering itself. God used suffering in Paul’s life to refine and sharpen him, to give depth to his message, and to make him more like Christ. The title of this message is “INSIDE OUT: MINISTRY OF THE THORN”.Are you going through a storm in life and struggling to see its purpose? Do you trust that God can and does bring good from bad?

- 128ChosenThe call of the gospel is to all who will believe. Yes, we have a choice in this matter. No, we don’t bring anything to your salvation. No, it does not compromise your eternal security. Yes, God will finish what he has started in your life. Our view of evangelism and missions/outreach is also impacted by our theology.
- 129What Happens The Moment I Die?In this message, we will look at what happens after we die, specifically where we will go. What happens when we die? Do souls go to heaven or hell, or is there somewhere else that is a precursor to our eternal destination? We will answer these questions in this message titled “DEATH DETHRONED: INTERMEDIATE.”As we approach Easter, our minds naturally turn toward Christ’s death and resurrection, but there is so much that we must understand about what comes next for us after we die.~~~~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.

- 130Jesus DETHRONED The Power of Death!As we begin our series, we will look at ancient Egyptian culture and customs regarding death and the afterlife compared to what Scripture teaches. God’s Word reminds us that death is not a natural part of life, but an enemy to be defeated. As we approach Easter, we will learn what it means that Christ was victorious over death and the implications for our daily lives. This message is the introduction to our series “DEATH DETHRONED.”What do you believe happens after you die? Do you know for certain where you will spend eternity?

- 131Inside Out: Growing PainsIn this sermon, we will turn our attention to the kids and teenagers in our lives. The Christian life is not only about us making it through difficult times. We are to help those around us as well. This is never truer than with the young minds that God has entrusted to us. Our next installment in this series is titled “INSIDE OUT: GROWING PAINS.”Whether you are a parent or grandparent or don’t have kids at home, this message is for all of us. Are you helping the children and teenagers in your life navigate the struggles they face? Are you making an impact with the kids in our church family? 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.

- 132Inside OutWe are often our own worst enemies when it comes to our interactions with others. God’s Word, however, reminds us that there is hope. Through Christ, we can build meaningful relationships and reflect God’s character to those around us. Throughout this series, we will deal with internal issues that make it difficult for us to connect and interact with others. The goal will be at the end of this series to make Christ visible in our relationships!How would you rate your relationships right now? Is your marriage struggling or even just coasting? Are your friendships strained? How do you see your church family?

- 133The Ultimate Sacrifice YOU Don't Have to Make!In this service, I want to focus on a family celebration: communion. This has long been a tradition of the church, but as with any tradition, we are at risk of simply going through the motions and not understanding the deep truth behind it. Observing communion together links us to a deep history of faith that runs all the way back to the Passover. We’ll learn about that and more in this message titled “FIRSTBORN”.Communion is a family meal that connects us with a rich history of faith. Do you want to learn more about communion and its place in the life of the believer? Do you understand its significance in light of the cross? 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.

- 134RegenerationRegeneration is the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit in bringing life into a spiritually dead person. It happens at the moment a lost sinner responds to the word of truth and receives Jesus as Savior and King. At that instant, there is a new understanding of the truth of God, a new love for the things of God, a new power over sin and temptation, and a new relationship with God.
- 135When God Sees You, He Sees CHRIST!The moment I place my faith in Jesus and accept His gift of salvation, God makes a transaction called Imputation. He takes my sins and puts them on Christ’s account, and He takes Christ’s righteousness and puts it on my account. At that very instant, He declares me “righteous.” I am “justified.” Now when God sees me, He sees Christ.
- 136Your Spiritual Life Looks Like Mismatched Furniture!In this sermon, we will continue our study of 2 Peter as he lays out for his readers the process of sanctification. Often, we are just haphazardly making it through the Christian life, trying anything we think will work and will bring us closer to God. What we don’t realize is that the things we are trying to force to work in our favor actually end up hurting us. We must allow God to refine us and remind us that Christ is the one who will help us navigate life. The title of this message is “FURNISH”.What is the state of your spiritual life? Do you feel like nothing is really working in your relationship 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.

- 137Do We SHARE God's Divine Nature?Last service, I began a new series titled “ON TRACK” that will help us grow in our spiritual disciplines. We learned that unchecked desires lead to a life that is off track. This weekend as we celebrate communion together, we will learn what it means to have the nature of Christ. We are human, and yet if we are believers the Bible says that we share in the divine nature. What does that mean? We’ll uncover that and more this weekend in our message titled “PARTAKERS”.Do you sense something missing in your spiritual life? Do you want to see victory over sin in your 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.

- 138Tracking: TargetIn this message, we will examine the end of Peter’s list of characteristics to track as you grow closer to God. It is no coincidence that the list ends with love. While we might know that love is important in the Christian life, we likely do not realize the role it has to play in spiritual discipline. What is the significance of these different traits all leading to love? We will find out in this message titled “TRACKING: TARGET”.Do you struggle to show love to others? Have you felt that there is something missing in your walk with God?

- 139Tracking: Level 3This weekend, we come to the conclusion of Peter’s list of components of our spiritual life. Peter lists these characteristics as markers of God working in our lives, evidence of the Holy Spirit refining us and making us more like Christ. The question is: will we allow this process or fight against it? So many times, we are tempted to resist God’s prompting and do our own thing, but God has called us to a life of obedience. This weekend’s message is titled “TRACKING LEVEL THREE”.Are you tracking God’s work in your life? Are you seeking to obey him in every area? 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.

- 140Table of Nations - ConclusionMerry Christmas!We have been in our series titled “TABLE OF NATIONS” as we have examined the genealogies of God’s people through the Old Testament. On every page of history, God has been in control. These genealogies ultimately point us to Christ, the promised Messiah and savior of the world. The genealogies of Jesus present in the gospels show God’s providence throughout the ages and remind us that God is in control of our lives. The title of this message is “TABLE OF NATIONS: CONCLUSION.”This Christmas, are you struggling? Are you finding it difficult to remember that God is in control?

- 141Tracking: Level 2This weekend, we will continue examining Peter’s list in 2 Peter 1. From the foundation of faith, there are several things that Peter says to add in the process of becoming more like Christ. These are important measures of our Christian growth and should be evidence of God working in us and refining us. As we track these things in our lives, we should be able to see progress in our spiritual lives. This weekend’s message is titled “TRACKING LEVEL TWO”.Are you growing spiritually? Can you see where God is working in your life?? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://a.co/d/b4ScMKMWEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 142Why Do We Even HAVE The Law?God graciously gave his Law to his people. It was never meant to give salvation. Eternal life was always through faith in Jesus Christ alone. The Law was given to guide his people in holiness and blessing. The Law of Christ doesn’t lower the standards. The only way we can keep his Law is through his Holy Spirit in us.
- 143Table of Nations - Part 4In this sermon, we come to the conclusion of our series. As we have seen, God’s hand has been on the lives of his people throughout Scripture. We will be following the descendants of Shem, Noah’s son, and will see how God guided the events of history leading toward the birth of Jesus. Since before the foundation of the world, God has been working to bring salvation to mankind through his son, Jesus. The title of this message is “TABLE OF NATIONS PART 4”.Can you see God’s sovereignty throughout history? Do you understand that the cross has always been on God’s heart?

- 144Tracking: Level 1We are going to shift gears a little in our series. We must understand that we also have a role to play in the process of sanctification. Christ does the work, but what is our part? We must take inventory of our spiritual lives, ensuring that we are developing Christlike characteristics. Without monitoring these things, we will be aimless in our spiritual lives. We will examine the first two items on Peter’s list in this message titled “TRACKING LEVEL ONE”.How is your spiritual life? Is the evidence of growth and progress?
