Fulfilled: Location of Jesus’ Birth by Pastor Abidan Shah
In this message, we will be focusing on the location of Jesus’ birth. In his account of the birth of Jesus, Matthew quotes a prophecy written by Micah pertaining to Bethlehem as the birthplace of the Messiah. This had powerful implications for the people during Micah’s day, those that Matthew was writing to, and for us as well.
Fulfilled: Manner of Jesus’ Birth by Pastor Abidan Shah
This is the third message in our series, focusing on the manner of Jesus’ birth. Many people today will claim to be Christians, but denounce the virginal conception. This is critical to our faith, though, as it not only proves Jesus is the Son of God but that He is the One promised from the Old Testament. It sets Him apart from any other religion or deity that promises salvation.
Fulfilled: Time of Jesus’ Birth by Pastor Abidan Shah
In this message, we will focus on the timing His coming, how it was also promised when He would be born. Again, Jesus’ coming was no accident. It was planned right down to the moment of His coming.
Fulfilled: Family of Jesus’ Birth by Pastor Abidan Shah
This first message centers on the promises fulfilled in the family tree of Jesus. It’s clear that God had His hand on the family of Abraham throughout the generations, ultimately leading up to the birth of Jesus. The providence of God is displayed through this family and serves as a reminder of His providence in our lives.
God’s Unfailing Word by Pastor Abidan Shah
The book of 1 Peter in the New Testament encourages believers to remember that temporary suffering is an opportunity to make them more like Christ. He writes that, although this life is chaotic and uncertain, God’s Word is eternal and unchanging. It is only in the Bible that we can find peace, hope, and the answers to our deepest needs.
When the Body Grows by Pastor Abidan Shah
Many times in Scripture, the church is compared to a body. It is composed of many members with different functions that work together for the good of the whole. The same should be true of the church, especially where men are concerned. Becoming spiritually mature isn’t just learning more about God; it’s about stepping up to lead by serving.
Dark Day by Pastor Abidan Shah
The end of the book of Malachi is focused on the future and God’s plan being realized. However, it is not something we should worry about or fear. For the people of God, the future is a source of hope and comfort.
Trash Talk by Pastor Abidan Shah
The Jewish people were ignorant of how their speech was reflecting on God’s character. As believers, we have to understand that our words communicate to others what we believe about God. We should strive to glorify God with what we say and how we speak.
Pious Thieves by Pastor Abidan Shah
The title of this message is “PIOUS THIEVES.” We come to the part of Malachi’s message where he addresses the people who are keeping the best for themselves and robbing God by giving Him their leftovers. What they didn’t understand, and what we often forget, is that everything in our lives belongs to God in the first place. By “holding on to” what we have, we are really robbing God of what is rightfully His.
Refining Fire by Pastor Abidan Shah
REFINING FIRE by Pastor Shah, Clearview Church, Henderson Introduction: One night a chemical plant outside the city limits caught on fire. The alarm went out to fire departments for miles around. Here came all the big fire trucks from the city and started fighting the fire but it was no good. After about an hour […]
Rotten Blessings by Pastor Abidan Shah
The Jewish people were trying to take God out of the equation while still holding on to their blessings. What they didn’t realize, and what we often fail to realize, is that God is the source of every blessing in our lives. When you remove the source, the blessings begin to spoil. They become a burden and a curse to us and those around us.
Cold Love by Pastor Abidan Shah
The first message in this series is titled “COLD LOVE” because God’s people felt like His love had grown cold. In this message, we’ll learn that God is unchanging even though our feelings fluctuate.
The Soul-Multiplier by Pastor Abidan Shah
This week, we will be looking at the miraculous catch of fish by the disciples after the resurrection of Jesus. Through this miracle, Jesus teaches that when we encounter Him, we can’t go back to the comfort of our old life. We must move forward into the mission He has for us.
The Grave-Robber by Pastor Abidan Shah
Death has always been our enemy. It rips a child from its’ mother, a friend from a friend and a lover from a lover. It can be expected or unexpected. In this message we will see that Jesus came to set us free from the power of death.
The Eye-Opener by Pastor Abidan Shah
This week, we will be looking at the account of Jesus healing a man who was born blind. Just as Jesus brought sight to a man who had never been able to see, Jesus can heal our spiritual eyes that are hopelessly blind to the things of God.
The Fear-Defier by Pastor Abidan Shah
We will be learning about Jesus walking on the water and calling Peter out of the boat. Peter was inspired to face his fears because he was looking to and trusting in Jesus. Even though the storm was still raging, Peter stepped out of the boat and walked on the water. Jesus defies our fears by igniting our faith.
The Soul-Sustainer by Pastor Abidan Shah
We will be learning about Jesus feeding over 5,000 people with just five loaves of bread and two fish. This miracle is about much more than food, however. It is about spiritual satisfaction. Keep in mind that there were twelve baskets of food left over. When Jesus fills us, he more than meets our needs. Through Him, our souls are sustained; we are satisfied and will never be hungry again.
The Hope-Bringer by Pastor Abidan Shah
We will learn how Jesus brought hope to two different individuals: One, the daughter of Jairus and second, the woman with the issue of blood. In both cases Jesus brought hope where there was only hopelessness and despair.
The Joy-Producer by Pastor Abidan Shah
This next message is titled “The Joy-Producer.” We will learn from Jesus’ miracle at the wedding in Cana how he brought joy to us through his coming. This is very important because many of us think and believe that truth is only negative and it only hurts. Nothing could be further from the truth. Know Jesus, Know Joy!
The Sin-Forgiver by Pastor Abidan Shah
What Jesus was implying was that He was God. This message will again challenge us to remember that Jesus has the power to forgive us our sins, which is greater than any miracle story.
