| Bob Christopher | ||
Join us as Bob Christopher continues his study on "Love is..." Sometimes, to learn what something is, we look at what it's not. Love, as defined in 1 Corinthians, chapter 13, is not envious; love is not boastful, and love is not proud. God is none of these. Envy, boasting, and pride, so prevalent in the world today, are from the devil. Our attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus (Philippians 2:5 -11). As discussed last week, God's very kindness leads us to salvation. That is why, in our time of need we can be assured of His kindness toward us. He cares for us. God is love. | ||

| Bob Christopher | ||
Join us as Bob Christopher continues his series, "Love is...", based mainly on 1 Corinthians, chapter 13. Last week, we learned about the patience of God's love for us, and this week we will be studying about the kindness of His love. To be kind, according to biblical standards, is to truly benefit someone else. In order to do that, we must have an understanding of the other person's needs. God knows what we need in our hearts; He alone understands our true need. His kindness is always beneficial to us and leads us to repentance. We are saved through Christ Jesus, according to God's kindness and love. | ||

1 Corinthians 13 | |
| Bob Christopher | ||
Join us as Bob Christopher embarks on a new series entitled "Love is..." We're going to take a detailed look at 1 Corinthians 13, beginning with God's unparalleled patience, as we discover more about His love for you and me. The one thing that makes a difference to people, regardless of age, is the love of God extended to us through the person of Christ Jesus, Many churches today focus on a "cool" approach, rather than teaching the real, living Jesus. There is no other place we can go to discover what the love of God is except to the source, and His name is Jesus! | ||

Malachi 3:1-4:6 | |
| Richard Peifer | ||
Join us as Richard continues the study from Malachi. Reading from a proper perspective, we learn that God initiated to us; we have less than nothing to offer Him. Yet, He reached down and saved us. We humans have such arrogance, which, in reality, is fear disguising itself as pride. It's time for us to take our Lord Jesus at His word: walk by faith, and let the grace of God infuse us to the point where we disappear, and all that others see is Jesus. If we don't have Jesus, we have nothing! | ||

Malachi 1:1-2:17, Romans 9:10 | |
| Richard Peifer | ||
Join us as Richard guides us through the beginning messages of Malachi. Even with the admission of how bad things can be, whether under the Old or New Covenant, the answer is still the same: Jesus Christ. The Old Covenant people had to walk by faith in the future coming of the Messiah. We, under the New Covenant, accept by faith that God's Son Jesus came, as promised, and accomplished God's mission on earth. We also accept by faith that Jesus is coming again. This is the same faith, same God, but different covenants, And oh, what a difference! | ||

Jude | |
| Bob Christopher | ||
Join us as Bob Christopher leads us through the book of Jude, with emphasis on the importance of "Defending the Faith." In our world, we are constantly bombarded with false teaching. Walking in the Spirit of our Lord Jesus is the only way we can resist these and other evil influences. And, as children of God, who are grounded in the Gospel message, we have the privilege of sharing the Good News with the world. Because of Christ in us, our Hope of Glory, we can show the world compassion, mercy and, most of all, love through Jesus Christ our Lord. | ||

3 John | |
| Bob Christopher | ||
Join us as Bob Christopher leads us through a study of 3 John. Most all believers in Christ Jesus long for fellowship with other believers, but all too often, the fellowship they seek is based on issues. No matter how admirable these issues are, this type of fellowship will eventually end in failure. As children of God, we love each other in Christ. And, with Christ living in us, we stand firm in His truth, and are able to experience the sweet fellowship with one another which is a byproduct of the truth that is Jesus Christ. | ||

2 John 1-13 | |
| Bob Christopher | ||
Join us as Bob Christopher shares with us the inspiring message found in 2 John. The Apostle John tells us that despite false teaching by many deceivers in the world, we who have Jesus living in us have Truth because Jesus is Truth. We also have the assurance that He will never leave us. When we have Christ, we also have total forgiveness in Him, and most importantly, an eternal relationship with God. | ||

Revelation 19:1-20:15 | |
| Richard Peifer | ||
Richard Peifer has taught several great messages in the past on the book of Revelation, and yesterday and next Sunday he will be sharing with us the closing chapters. Even though our complete understanding of this writing of the Apostle John, inspired by the Holy Spirit, is somewhat limited, there are so many rewards to be gained by studying its contents. Though Satan continues his battle through the pages of Revelation, Richard reminds us of this comforting knowledge: "the Lamb wins. In fact, He has already won!" | ||

| Living Free as a Child of God | ||
![]() |
Col 3:1-16 | |
| Bob Christopher | ||
Living Free as a Child of God. Join us as Bob Christopher compares the nature of the old man to the nature of the new creature in Christ. The Law does nothing to control the sensual desires of the flesh, whereas if we walk by the spirit, and carry out the desires that God has placed in our hearts. The simple byproduct of walking in the spirit, is that the works of the flesh will not be carried out. Paul encourages believers to leave the old man behind, and seek the things that are of God. This will be total freedom as opposed to only partial freedom. | ||

1 Peter 2:16 | |
| Bob Christopher | ||
In his second teaching in the series "Live Free", Bob Christopher compares Israel's captivity in Egypt to our captivity in legalism. Even after God freed Israel from bondage in Egypt, they often yearned for their old lifestyle, forgetting the oppression they had endured. Christians, freed from the law by the Lord Jesus Christ sometimes yearn also to return to their old legalistic lifestyle. Freedom in Christ Jesus brings newness of life! In this new life, we must trust only God and live in dependence on Him. What joy there is when we stay "abiding in the Vine"! Among the scriptures Bob used were: Romans 6:17-18; Galatians 5:13; and 1 Peter 2:16 and 4:2-3. | ||

Join Bob Christopher over the next several Sundays as he continues his new series "Live Free". In his preamble yesterday, Bob took us through many scriptures in the New Testament, pointing to the true meaning of salvation. It is essential that we understand that salvation moves us from death to life, and this life is found only in Jesus Christ. By putting our trust completely in Him, we are given the very life of Christ and live forever as forgiven people! "Christ in you, the hope of glory!" (Colossians 1:27). It is comforting to remember God's promise:"Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). | ||

| The Jesus Prayer | ||
![]() |
John 17:6-26 | |
| Bob Christopher | ||
As we read in John 17, we see that Jesus is praying for Himself, His disciples, and for believers today. Jesus prays that we will be one with the Father, as He and the Father are one. Let's be at one with God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son, and allow Him to use us to make Him known to a lost and dying world. This is the greatest mission believers can have. | ||

| Eternal Life, A Definition | ||

John 17 | |
| Bob Christopher | ||
The cornerstone of the Word of God, and perhaps the most important Scripture in the Bible, is John 17:3. This passage expresses God's main desire for His children... that we grow in our knowledge of Him. Because of God's love for us, everything He has done has allowed us to have an intimate knowledge of Him. When we come to Jesus for eternal life, we are to go beyond a casual knowledge of Him. God's desire is that we become able to call Him "Abba, Father." This intimate relationship between God and His children is in His perfect will for us. | ||

| When Trouble Comes | ||
![]() |
John 16 | |
| Bob Christopher | ||
John 16 tells us the job of the Holy Spirit: to convict the world in regard to sin, judgment and righteousness. The Spirit never brings glory to Himself - only to Christ Jesus. We will have trouble in the world as followers of Jesus. In fact, the world, because of its sin of unbelief, will even try to entrap us, as it did Jesus, and we must remain firm and uncompromising in Him. We can take heart in the knowledge that Jesus loves us dearly and has already overcome the world! | ||

| Are You God's Friend? | ||

John 15:12 | |
| Bob Christopher | ||
We read in John 15, that Jesus commands us to love one another as He has loved us. This agape love (unconditional love) is possible only when His Spirit comes to live in and through us. Jesus says that if we do as He commands, we are no longer servants, but His friends. We are cautioned that just as the world first hated Jesus, it will also hate us. Jesus also reminds us that when the Comforter comes, He will testify about Jesus, so we can take heart, knowing that we are now friends of the Son of God! | ||

| The Vine and the Branches | ||
![]() |
John 15 | |
| Bob Christopher | ||
In teaching John 15, Bob Christopher reminds us that the goal of a Christian is to simply abide in Christ Jesus, the vine. God will take care of the rest. No branch can produce fruit without being attached to the vine. If we abide in Him, and He in us, much good fruit is produced, and we show ourselves to be His disciples. Jesus also tells us that the Father is glorified as we bear much fruit and that if we remain in His love, as He remains in the Father's love, His joy will be in us and our joy will be complete. | ||

John 14 | |
| Bob Christopher | ||
Join us as Bob Christopher reads through John 14, where Jesus gives examples of why we, as children of God, have no need to fear. He knows our hearts will be troubled, but encourages to trust in Him. Jesus tells us that He will not leave us as orphans, because we know Him, and He is the way, the truth and the life, We know that He is with us always. He gives peace that passes all understanding. | ||

John 13 | |
| Bob Christopher | ||
To serve or be served? Join us as Bob Christopher reads Jesus's teachings that the greatest commandment is to love others as Jesus loves us. Jesus washed His disciples' feet as a demonstration of the act of serving our neighbor, instead of being served. It is a blessing to be used by God to serve others in love. | ||

| Bob Christopher | ||
Join us as Bob Christopher discusses faith, hope and love. Faith, hope and love helps us experience God in actuality, and not just positionally. Faith is being sure of what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see. Without faith, it's impossible to please God. The only thing that counts is faith, expressing itself through love. | ||

John 20:1-31 | |

Matthew 21:1-17 | |
| Bob Christopher | ||
Join us as Bob Christopher compares the triumphant entry of Jesus' into Jerusalem to His entry into our lives. When we recognize that Jesus' purpose was to bring in a New Covenant, to free us from the old, so that we can have a personal and intimate relationship with God, then His entry into our lives is triumphant as well. | ||

| Bob Christopher | ||
Join us as Bob Christopher reminds us that only two identities matter to God: Lost, dead in sin; and Child of God, born again. As a child of God, we are heirs according to the Promise. When we offer our bodies as living sacrifices, then we'll no longer be conformed to this world, but will be transformed by the renewing of our minds. | ||

Romans 3:19,20, Galatians 3:19-24, Titus 2:11-14 | |
| Bob Christopher | ||
Join us as Bob Christopher contrasts Law and Grace. The Law was given to silence the world; make us accountable to God; make us conscious of sin, and to lead us to Christ. After the Law has done its work, and we come to Him by faith, we are made righteous and holy, are justified, and live in a new way of the Spirit--that's Grace. | ||

| Bob Christopher | ||
Join us as Bob Christopher takes a closer look at the resurrection and the effect it has on us. Because of God raising Jesus from the dead, we too, can be resurrected. What does it mean to be resurrected? With us dying to the law of sin and death, God made us alive with Him, sending the Holy Spirit to live in us so we can live the by spirit. | ||

| Bob Christopher | ||
Join us as Bob Christopher presents the challenge: Can you handle the truth? We're reminded that now that the Holy Spirit is sent, His job is to guide us into all truth; he will not speak on his own, but speak only what he hears. He will bring glory to God by taking what is God's, and making it known to us. What is truth? Jesus is God. Can we handle this? | ||

Romans 8:28-39 | |
| Bob Christopher | ||
Join us as Bob Christopher explores the question, "What does God want us to know about Him?" Romans 8 answers this often asked question. God loves us, He predestined that all who call upon His name will be saved; He predestined us to be conformed in the image of his son. He gave His only begotten son for us. Why? Because He loves us. Nothing can separate us from His love. Knowing how intimately he loves us, we can trust that He'll cause all things to work together for our good. Are you brave enough to believe and live this truth? | ||

People today are to live under the New Covenant of faith in Christ...loving others as God loves them. This life is in stark contrast to trying to live a life under the Old Covenant of law and death.

| Be Anxious for Nothing | ||
| Luke 2:39-45 | ||
| Bob George | ||
Mary and Joseph were anxiously searching for Jesus, who at 12, remained behind in Jerusalem in the temple courts. They were fearful and anxious, just as we can be. In His ministry, Jesus said not to let our hearts be troubled nor to be afraid; that He was giving His peace to us, not the peace that the world gives. Jesus is our total sufficiency. | ||
