  1. 145Tracking: 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.

  2. 146Table 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? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dr.-Abidan-Shah-PhD/author/B0875S9V46?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&fbclid=IwAR2RO0lwjRv6lNvmEy31XAp4B6cULOzraFcPvIemcAeGMKeJzwqdnfHNJ8ALISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

  3. 147Tracking: 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.

  4. 148Why 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.50 min
  5. 149Table 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?

  6. 150Tracking: 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? 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.

  7. 151Table of Nations - Part 3This weekend, we will continue to examine the generations that followed Noah and their movement through the ancient world. One figure loomed large during that time in history: Nimrod. His desire for power and conquest made him a notable figure in his day. Despite his military prowess, his reign ended, and his influence along with it. Christ, however, still reigns eternally! The title of this weekend’s message is “TABLE OF NATIONS PART 3.”What distinguishes Christ’s reign from that of Nimrod? What do you desire in life?

  8. 152Table of Nations - Part 2In this sermon, we are continuing to look at the Table of Nations. God’s people did not stay stationary but migrated. As they moved, they carried the message of hope and salvation with them as they went. God continued to work through the nation of Israel throughout history leading up to the coming of Christ and beyond. How does this impact the way we see Christmas? The title of this message is “TABLE OF NATIONS PART 2.” What is your view of history? Can you see how God has been sovereign in every age?

  9. 153Table of Nations - Part 1In this message, we will be looking at what is known as the Table of Nations. These are the generations following Noah and his sons. These people groups dispersed throughout the land and settled into the nations that are present in the accounts of Scripture. What role did these people play in God’s grand story of redemption and the coming of the Messiah? The title of this message is “TABLE OF NATIONS PART 1”.Can you see Jesus in the Old Testament? Can you trace God’s story through the pages of Scripture?

  10. 154UncheckedThis message marks the beginning of our series “ON TRACK”. This series is going to be unlike anything we have ever done here at Clearview. The goal is that, as we begin 2024, we as individuals and as a church family will focus on developing spiritual discipline. This will help us not only grow spiritually as individuals but as a church, to ensure that we continue to make Christ visible.As we begin this series, we need to understand the importance of a balanced growing spiritual life. Many of us, if we are honest, are simply hoping for the best in our relationship with God. We go to church and maybe even serve on a ministry team, but through the week our spiritual lives are left to chance or simply hoping for the best. Or worse, we live however we want throughout the week and try to clean up for church. In this message, we will understand the dangers of a spiritual life that is “UNCHECKED.”Are you looking to make a change in your daily walk with God? Do you feel as though you are out of sync with spiritual things? 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.

  11. 155Salvation is by FAITH Alone!We are facing disastrous times in our nation again, and even in the world. The only hope is the truth of God. Not just any truth, but the truth about salvation through Jesus Christ. More specifically, we need to hear about indispensable doctrines like “justification by faith alone.”46 min
  12. 156KnowledgeIn this sermon, we turn our attention to the Table of Nations. Throughout Scripture, it is clear that ancient nations and peoples knew about the God of the Bible. In time, however, these nations forgot or at times chose to forget. Where did this knowledge come from and how did it fade from their memory? What are the implications for our understanding of the Bible? The title of this message is “KNOWLEDGE”.Do you know how the other nations of the world fit into God’s story? What caused them to forget who God is? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dr.-Abidan-Shah-PhD/author/B0875S9V46?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&fbclid=IwAR2RO0lwjRv6lNvmEy31XAp4B6cULOzraFcPvIemcAeGMKeJzwqdnfHNJ8ALISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

  13. 157Better OfferThe world offers us a life of pleasures, riches, and security but without God. God makes us a better offer. It’s a life that may come with affliction and reproach, but it brings greater riches than anything that the world can ever offer. It’s a life that has encountered the invisible Christ.55 min
  14. 158FulfillIn this message, we will continue to study this passage where Paul is describing the great mystery of the connection between Christ and the church. Paul’s use of the words “flesh and bone” points to other passages of Scripture from both the Old and New Testaments. This language shows how God always keeps his promises at the right time and how the Bible is one, unbroken story. The title of this message is “FULFILL”.Do you understand the complete story of the Bible? Can you see how God keeps his promises throughout the pages of Scripture? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dr.-Abidan-Shah-PhD/author/B0875S9V46?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&fbclid=IwAR2RO0lwjRv6lNvmEy31XAp4B6cULOzraFcPvIemcAeGMKeJzwqdnfHNJ8ALISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clearview-today-with-dr-abidan-shah/id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

  15. 159IntegrityIntegrity is who you are when only God is watching. It refuses to join the crowd and chooses to stand alone. It rejects immediate gratifications and waits for ultimate gains. It recognizes the power of sin and distrusts the power of self.49 min
  16. 160Flesh and BonesPaul described the significance of communion throughout his letter, but especially in the book of Ephesians. Paul equates it with the body of Christ, but what does this mean for us? If we are to correctly observe communion, we need to rightly understand it. The title of this message is “FLESH AND BONES”. Do you understand communion and its significance for us as believers? What place does communion have in the church? Are you saved?39 min
  17. 161Blessed - Part 2In this message, we will turn our attention to the blessing of parenting. We know what it means to be a parent, but what does it truly look like to parent in a way that points our children to Christ? This message applies to all of us whether you are parents or not. God has entrusted children to us to lead, guide, and help shape into the people he would have them to be. What greater calling is there? The title of this message is “BLESSED PART 2.”What is your approach to parenting? Do you see your role in the lives of your children as a God-given responsibility? If you are not a parent, how should you come alongside others in our church family? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dr.-Abidan-Shah-PhD/author/B0875S9V46?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&fbclid=IwAR2RO0lwjRv6lNvmEy31XAp4B6cULOzraFcPvIemcAeGMKeJzwqdnfHNJ8ALISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../clearview.../id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

  18. 162Blessed - Part 1I want to begin a very special series focusing on the blessing of family. One of the most profound gifts of God mentioned in Scripture is that of a family. After Noah and his family came out of the ark, God commanded them to go forth and repopulate the earth. Engaging in building and nurturing our families is an act of obedience to God. The title of this message is “BLESSED.”How has God blessed you? Are you more focused on the good gifts in your life or the negative circumstances? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dr.-Abidan-Shah-PhD/author/B0875S9V46?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&fbclid=IwAR2RO0lwjRv6lNvmEy31XAp4B6cULOzraFcPvIemcAeGMKeJzwqdnfHNJ8ALISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../clearview.../id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

  19. 163Keeping Cool - Part 2In this message, we are setting our sights on the ice age. Science describes it to us, but how should we think about the ice age in light of Scripture? We learned last weekend that the Bible does in fact talk about the ice age, but how can we accurately see this event through the lens of our faith?

  20. 164Keeping Cool - Part 1In this message, we will be looking at the concept of the ice age. People often raise this as a question of biblical validity, saying that the Bible doesn’t speak about the ice age at all. Not only does the Bible talk about the ice age, but it gives us the proper framework for understanding history in light of the biblical account. The title of this message is “KEEPING COOL”.Do you believe that the Bible is historically accurate? Is your faith shaken by historical or scientific claims? Are you saved?~~~~Sermons referenced in this sermon:Landscape:https://youtu.be/dMcODkz6Zc4?feature=sharedTraces:https://youtu.be/woJyX0SLNNI?feature=shared~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dr.-Abidan-Shah-PhD/author/B0875S9V46?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&fbclid=IwAR2RO0lwjRv6lNvmEy31XAp4B6cULOzraFcPvIemcAeGMKeJzwqdnfHNJ8ALISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../clearview.../id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

  21. 165CirclesOver the past few messages, we have been examining what the true Christian life looks like. Many times, people have an idea of what it takes to be obedient to God. In his kindness, God helps us reorder and shift our priorities so that we begin to prioritize the things that truly matter to him. My prayer is that these messages will continue to help you do that. Focus on God and let the distractions and temptations of life fade into the background.We will turn our attention to the story of Job. A familiar one in Scripture, Job experienced profound loss and tragedy, leaving him in a state of mourning. However, Job did not suffer alone but was visited by his three friends who stayed with him in his grief. We are called to live life alongside one another, helping each other through both good and bad times. Small groups are one way to do that and are an important part of church life. The title of this message is “CIRCLES”.Are you connected to our church family? Do you have a small group of people to come alongside you in life’s struggles? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dr.-Abidan-Shah-PhD/author/B0875S9V46?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&fbclid=IwAR2RO0lwjRv6lNvmEy31XAp4B6cULOzraFcPvIemcAeGMKeJzwqdnfHNJ8ALISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../clearview.../id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

  22. 166Cities of RefugeOne of the greatest blessings of having a church family is connection. Connection is vital to the life of the believer. God has not called us to a life of isolation but to a posture of community and belonging. This provides a place of safety, peace, and hope for those who are hurting or in need.In Joshua’s day, God commanded the Israelites to establish places where people could go who were in trouble or needed help. These cities served as beacons to those who would run into them and find refuge and solace. Church, small groups, and Christian connections should function the same way. This is especially true for small groups. They have a unique ability to uplift and edify believers while connecting them to the church. The title of this sermon is “Cities of Refuge.”Do you have a group in your life to help you grow closer to God? Are you saved? ~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dr.-Abidan-Shah-PhD/author/B0875S9V46?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&fbclid=IwAR2RO0lwjRv6lNvmEy31XAp4B6cULOzraFcPvIemcAeGMKeJzwqdnfHNJ8ALISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../clearview.../id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

  23. 167Gaining ChristI’m preaching a message from the book of Philippians. Walking around in Philippi last week, I was reminded of Paul’s words to the Philippians, telling them that the things he previously pursued were no longer of value to him. They paled in comparison to a relationship with Christ. Paul’s words helped the Philippians and countless others throughout history to think rightly about life, Christ, and our relationship with him. The title of this message is “GAINING CHRIST.”Are you actively pursuing a deeper relationship with Christ? What things do you need to lay aside?

  24. 168ReasoningIn this service, I want to focus on our mind, specifically our thoughts. In Paul’s letter to the Philippians, he spent a great deal of time talking about the mind and how to bring thoughts under control. Our minds often threaten to run away from us. What would it take to glorify God and focus on him with our very thoughts? The title of this message is titled “REASONING”.How is your thought life? Does your mind naturally tend toward the things of God or the things of the world?
