Redemption • Matthew 20:28 (and several supporting scriptures) – Elder Bryce Lowrance In this message, Elder Lowrance answers the question, “What did Christ’s death on the cross actually accomplish?” He makes the case for a successful Savior in the particular redemption of God’s elect by examining three postulates: 1. Jesus died for every sin of every person. 2. Jesus died for some of the sins of every person. 3. Jesus died for all of the sins of some people (the elect).

Daniel in the Den of Lions • Daniel 6 – Brother Jonah Lowrance – Brother Jonah takes us through the sixth Chapter of Daniel where Darius is tricked into having his best helper thrown into a den of lions. But God, through His providence overrules the acts of these wicked men and they, and their families, end up in the pit instead!
God’s Word vs. Man’s Word • Psalm 12 – Elder Bryce Lowrance Elder Lowrance takes us through a Psalm that could have been penned today. The current “woke” culture that pervades our society has set the stage where no true discussion happens. Everyone talks at or about others but never to them. Lies have become the norm. But God’s word is true. God promised to deliver His children from the vane lies of the wicked, and He has proven trustworthy in that He preserved His written word for us all these generations.

The Song of the Slandered Saint • Psalm 7 – Elder Bryce Lowrance – One of the most hurtful things the devil uses against the Lord’s people are rumors and slanderous conversations. David teaches us how to properly handle these situations. Rather than whining to everyone by voice or on social media, we should take the case to the only One Who can handle it properly, the Lord. When we appeal to the righteous God of heaven, we are asking for help from One Who cares and is ready to judge His enemies and ours.
Belshazzar’s Feast • Daniel 5 – Brother Jonah Lowrance – In this message, Brother Jonah traces the history of the fall of Babylon through prophecy and secular history. In this, we learn that God keeps His promises and overrules the kingdoms of men in His time. God will ultimately bring down spiritual Babylon when Jesus returns to take us to be with Him forever.

Paul’s Fellows • Colossians 4:7-18 – Elder Bryce Lowrance – In this concluding message from his series on Colossians, Elder Lowrance tells us about Paul’s companions in ministry. These men are “fellows” of all sorts. They are Fellow-Laborers, Fellow-Ministers, Fellow-Servants, and Fellow-Prisoners. These types of relationships are vital to proper church doctrine because FELLOWSHIP is the key that binds churches together.

Nebuchadnezzar’s Experience • Daniel Chapter 4 – Brother Jonah Lowrance Nebuchadnezzar was the most powerful king on earth during his day, but he tried to take credit for all the wonders of Babylon. God spoke to him through a dream, and then humbled him to spend 7 years as a beast of the field. At the end of his chastisement, Nebuchadnezzar makes one of the greatest claims of the power of God in all of scripture “all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?”
The W’s of Evangelism • Colossians 4:5-6 – Elder Bryce Lowrance After Paul teaches the church to pray for an open door for him to ably preach the gospel, he instructs the church how its members ought to live their daily lives. They are to act as God’s children toward them that are WITHOUT the church. In doing this, they are to WALK in WISDOM with their words being WITH grace, seasoned WITH salt. They are to make the most of every moment to glorify God and promote the kingdom of Christ.

The New Nebuchadnezzar • Introduction to Daniel Chapter 4 – Brother Jonah Lowrance After a review of the character of Nebuchadnezzar and the attributes of God in the first three chapters, Brother Jonah shows us that something is now different about Nebuchadnezzar. In this preview, we find that Nebuchadnezzar himself will give an account of how God dealt with him directly.
How Do We Pray for the Ministry? • Colossians 4:2-4 – Elder Bryce Lowrance Continuing on the theme from the previous message that prayer is the powerhouse of the church, Elder Lowrance teaches how we should be praying for our ministers to have opportunities to share the gospel and be blessed to share it effectively. The focus of our prayers should be the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ in our communities.

Prayer: The Powerhouse of the Church • Colossians 4:2-4 – Elder Bryce Lowrance A praying church is the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Prayer is the battering-ram of the church that calls upon God to break open the very gates of hell so that they cannot stand against the church. Paul calls upon all churches to be continually in prayer. Watching for needs in their community and looking for answered prayers. All the while, the supplications of the church should be mingled with praise and thanksgiving.

How Do We Seek Those Things Which Are Above? • Colossians 3:17-4:1 – Elder Bryce Lowrance Oftentimes, preachers call on us to follow Christ, turn to God, or seek the kingdom of God first but we are left wondering how exactly we are to do that. The Apostle Paul answers that question in very simple terms. The first half of Colossians, Chapter three tells us that we need to stop living like the world and start acting like Christ. The latter part of the chapter applies those same principles to God’s design for the family and how we should conduct ourselves in business. God, in the new birth, has made it possible for us to live like His children. It is our personal responsibility to do so.

Let the Word of Christ Dwell in You Richly • Colossians 3:16 – Elder Bryce Lowrance Paul’s charge to us in Colossians, Chapter 3 is to live our lives like the born-again children we are. I order to do this, we must put away the desires of the things of the world and live our lives in charity for others. This behavior is blessed by the peace of God. But how do we become more devoted in this endeavor? Paul says that the word of Christ should dwell in us, and the key to making that happen is the singing of quality hymns that are filled with the wisdom of the Bible.
The Trial by Fire • Daniel 3 – Brother Jonah Lowrance The next chapter after the Chaldeans were spared by the wisdom of Daniel, those same men seek to destroy Daniel’s three friends. In this intense adventure, we see how we are to act when faced with persecution and trial. We are not to cower away and be depressed. We are to take courage that God has promised that He will be with us. Even in our deepest trial, Jesus is with us in the fire.
