- 169AbidingThe call to be a disciple is not some special or exclusive class of Christianity. It is the normal Christian life. The reason many believers are missing the mark is because we have decided what is essential and what is optional when it comes to following Christ. There are no such categories in the gospel.
- 170Church-Autopsy: BedriddenIn this message, we are studying the fourth church listed in Revelation: Thyatira. Thyatira was a serving and loving church, but they tolerated sinful influence. Sometimes it is easier to quietly obey God than to call out and denounce sin. Yet, is this how God has called us to live? We ought to love what God loves and hate what he hates. This message is titled “CHURCH-AUTOPSY: BEDRIDDEN.”Are you allowing sin to have a foothold in your life? Are you helping those you love turn from sin and to obey God? Are you saved?~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dr.-Abi...LISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 171CultivateGod the Father prunes and cultivates us in order that we may bear more fruit. He also removes the dead branches that appear to be connected to the vine but are not. To reject Christ is to be severed from him forever. On the contrary, to receive Christ is to be sealed unto him forever with abundant fruits.
- 172RepresentedIf we truly understand its biblical foundation and the work of the founding fathers, we will understand, appreciate, preserve, and protect it. I want to preach a special message on the inspiration behind America: the Lycian League. The Lycian League was the first known republic in the world, where the people were governed by elected officials. This concept was not revived again until the foundation of America. We have to stand for our freedoms, recognize God’s providential hand in our history, and pray for revival in America. In learning about the Lycian League, we will learn more about the foundation of our own nation and gain a better understanding of what makes America special. What do you believe about America? Do you think our best days are behind us or can you still see God working in our nation? Are you saved?

- 173Good FruitGod wants the life of Jesus the vine to flow through us the branches and bear fruits that will be a blessing to others. The branch doesn’t consume its own fruits. One more thing: All we must do is abide in Jesus, and he promises to bring forth the fruits. The branch doesn’t stress about bearing fruits either.
- 174Church-Autopsy: MutilatedBad theology can mutilate the church body. The church in Pergamum on the surface was holding up against persecution and false teaching. However, twisted and harmful teachings had begun to creep into the church and twist the doctrine. Wrong doctrine is harmful to every area of our lives because it corrupts and distorts what we believe about God. Refusal to stop false doctrine is to incur the wrath of Jesus himself. Repentance and return to the truth approve us to feed upon the truth and entitles us to more truth.What do you believe about Jesus? Do you have a healthy fear and reverence for God, or do you treat your relationship with him as an option? Are you saved?
- 175All-SufficientChrist is all-sufficient for all our essential needs. He is not just one among many sources. He is not just next in line of the many sources. He is not just better than all the other sources. He is the only true, promised, and ultimate source of all-sufficiency.
- 176Church-Autopsy: FaintheartedTimes of testing are inevitable for the church, even for individual believers. Smyrna was facing tremendous hardship and was in danger of falling to the pressure and fear of persecution. God reminded them of the importance of standing up under that pressure and remaining faithful. Every trial has a lifecycle and then follows the evaluation. Instead of walking in fear, we must walk in faith, and we will receive the crown of life.What do you believe about Jesus? Do you have a healthy fear and reverence for God, or do you treat your relationship with him as an option? Are you saved?
- 177Church-Autopsy: HeartsickThis weekend, we are looking at the church in Ephesus. Jesus brings a serious charge against them: they have lost their first love. They were checking all the right boxes but for all the wrong reasons.… What do you believe about Jesus? Do you have a healthy fear and reverence for God, or do you treat your relationship with him as an option? Are you saved?
- 178Church Autopsy: ExaminerThis weekend, we are focusing on not only the assessment of these seven churches but the credentials of the one performing the assessment: Jesus Christ. John goes into great detail about who Jesus is and why he is qualified to offer this judgment on the seven churches. We often forget that while God is loving and merciful, he is also holy and just. The title of this weekend’s message is “CHURCH-AUTOPSY: EXAMINER”.What do you believe about Jesus?

- 179AbundantAs we embark upon this theme of “Abundant” in the new year, it is vital that we know that “Abiding is the key to Abundance.” It is only when we remain in Christ by loving and obeying him that we bear much fruit.
- 180DelightIn light of Mother’s Day, I want to preach a special message not just for moms, but for all parents. Children are God’s gift to us and as parents, we have such a precious few years to impact them. At times, parenting can be overwhelming, confusing, or even frustrating. However, God’s Word helps us not only lead our children but count it a privilege to do so. The title of this weekend’s message is “DELIGHT.”~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://www.amazon.com/30-Days-New......LISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../clearv...WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 181Proclaim: Part 2We were created to walk in fellowship with God. Unfortunately, sin has separated us from him, leaving us stranded alone. Jesus came to reconcile us to God through his sacrifice on the cross. He is Immanuel, God with us.
- 182Anastasis: Moral OrderThe great reset has begun (per Klaus Schwab), while some were busy complying. Among other things, it has fundamentally altered the meaning of right and wrong. Morality has taken on a new basis. Many were discussing or warning about the dangers of this trend. Now, it is here, and it’s spreading. Those who understand what’s happening and are willing to educate themselves and stand against it will remain. Those who are complacent and ho-hum will be sucked into this even before they know it. It is high time that we go deep, and I mean deeper than ever before if we’re going to build on a solid moral foundation in a shifting sand world. We must hit the bedrock of resurrection ethics...~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://www.amazon.com/30-Days-New.../dp/0578840731LISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../clearview.../id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 183ProclaimThe good news of salvation is that Jesus not only came to take the penalty of our sins, but he also came to free us from the repercussions of sin. Shame and blame, anger and fear, stubbornness and bitterness, little white lies and big fat lies, selfishness and self-worship are all coming from the Garden. The gospel also helps us overcome them.

- 186First Gospel: The CureThe ultimate rivalry is between Jesus and Satan. Unlike earthly rivalries, Satan is no match for Jesus. While Satan is just a fallen created being, Jesus is God’s Son, the King of kings, and he has already won the victory.

- 188Water, Bread, and CupBelieving in Jesus Christ as Savior and King takes us on a road of discovery to a deeper understanding of who he is. The Word of God, especially the Gospel of John, is full of rich meaning of who Christ is and what he has done for us. The better we come to know him, the more we are compelled to love and obey him.~~~~CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contactDONATE: clearviewbc.org/giveREAD: https://www.amazon.com/30-Days-New.../dp/0578840731LISTEN: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../clearview.../id1651006506WEBSITE: http://clearviewbc.orgDR.

- 189Operation Restore: Part 2Biblical Marriage is a two-person team where the husband leads by sacrificial love and the wife submits with godly respect. This is only possible where both have put on Christ, and the Spirit of Christ fills and empowers them.
- 190First Gospel: The DamageLife is wonderful, but it has been damaged by the fall. We try to enjoy life with the right foot, but repeatedly we are reminded by the left foot that not all of life is wonderful. Therefore, Jesus came – to fix what was damaged in the Garden of Eden.
- 191First Gospel: The ChoiceGod wants us to simply trust and obey him. Failure to trust and obey God leads to sin. Sin is senseless. It only brings death. Through Christ, we have forgiveness and the power to conquer sin.
- 192SkillfulIn life, people lack the right skills and a sense of discernment, and they make foolish and costly decisions. Skillful living comes when we turn to God for wisdom and guidance. More specifically, true wisdom is Christ. When he becomes our life, we begin to live skillfully.
