Gospel-Centric by Dr. Abidan Shah
Last weekend, I began a series through the book of Philippians titled “COMMUNITY.” Now more than ever, we need to be reminded of the importance of meeting in a physical location and worshipping together physically. This weekend, we are continuing in our series on Paul’s letter to the Philippians. Paul wanted his readers to understand that above all else, the message of the gospel must be the focal point in the lives of believers. It should be our true north, guiding us through the storms and trials of life. This weekend’s message is titled “GOSPEL-CENTRIC.”
Community by Dr. Abidan Shah
This weekend, we are going back to the book of Philippians. Paul’s letter to the Philippian believers addresses the importance of their partnership in sharing the gospel and expanding the ministry of the church. I cannot think of a better time for us to talk about community! Join us as we begin a new series through the book of Philippians titled “COMMUNITY.”
Herald by Dr. Abidan Shah
This Easter Sunday, as we celebrate what Christ has accomplished through His death and resurrection, we come to the last message in our series “HOSANNA.” We will take a look at Luke’s Gospel and his account of the women who visited Jesus’ tomb. They overcame their fear and, as a result, became the first heralds of the resurrected King! The disciples themselves didn’t earn such an honor because they were paralyzed by fear. The title of this weekend’s message is “HERALD.”
Triumphant by Dr. Abidan Shah
TRIUMPHANT by Dr. Shah, Clearview Church, Henderson, NC Introduction: I have been to many big cities, but my favorite ones to visit, not live, is Washington DC. I love all the iconic sites (Washington monument, Lincoln Memorial, World War 2 memorial, Capitol Building). We’ve even filmed there before. Our family loves to visit there as well. […]
HOSANNA by Dr. Abidan Paul Shah
This is a series leading to the Good Friday and Easter Season. Here’s the message in this series: God wants to save us. In fact, he delights in saving us. Being saved by God is not a sign of weakness. It is our prerogative as his children.
Discern by Dr. Abidan Shah
This weekend, we will turn our attention to 2 John, where the readers are warned of those among them who seem altruistic, but who actually have impure motives. John warns his listeners how to handle these imposters and how they should turn to God for truth. The title of this weekend’s message is “DISCERN.”
Misled by Dr. Abidan Shah
This weekend, we will turn our attention back to Proverbs 6 with a warning from a father to his son. He cautions him to avoid the dangers that easily ensnare and pull people away from God. Just like the son in this passage, we ought to be wary of the dangers and temptations of this life that so easily pull our focus away from God. The title of this weekend’s message is “MISLED.”
Out-of-Bounds by Dr. Abidan Shah
This weekend, we will be taking a look at Proverbs 6. Solomon lists several things that God detests. This list is a collection of things that should be off limits for believers. If you are looking for clear instruction on how to live the Christian life, look no further. The title of this weekend’s message is “OUT-OF-BOUNDS.”
Unrest by Dr. Abidan Shah
In this message, we will look at the current crisis through the lens of history and Scripture. We will examine the nation of Iran throughout history. Regardless of what we might have heard, this message will help us understand the current situation in light of past events and the Word of God. The title of this weekend’s message is “UNREST.”
Confidence by Dr. Abidan Shah
This weekend, we will be looking at the account of Joseph’s family in Genesis and how God was still in control even when it seemed like everything was falling apart. Several times in Scripture, God reminds us that we can trust Him to work all things together for our good, even the things that are painful or difficult. The title of this weekend’s message is “CONFIDENCE.”
Cornerstone by Dr. Abidan Shah
This weekend, we will be taking a look at the parable of the wicked vinedressers. Jesus used this shocking story to show His audience how their attitude toward the True Cornerstone was impacting their eternity. They were rejecting Jesus and, as a result, God would take the Kingdom away from them and give it to those who would truly recognize Jesus as the foundation of our faith. The title of this weekend’s message is “CORNERSTONE.”

Inheritance by Dr. Shah
This weekend, we will be looking at the parable of the sheep and the goats. Toward the end of the Olivet Discourse, Jesus challenged his listeners to think about their actions and the judgment that was to come. He showed them that this life is not all there is, but what we do here impacts our eternity. The title of this weekend’s message is “INHERITANCE.”
Abundance by Dr. Shah
This weekend, we will be looking at the parable of the talents. Through this parable, Jesus is teaching his listeners to be good stewards of the resources that God has given them here on earth. The title of this weekend’s message is “ABUNDANCE.”
Watch by Dr. Abidan Shah
This weekend, we will look at the first of three parables that deal specifically with prophecy: the parable of the ten virgins. Jesus used this parable to teach a fundamental truth about the kingdom of Heaven. No one knows the day or the hour when Christ will return, but it is up to us to be ready. The title of the message this weekend is “WATCH.”

Produce by Pastor Abidan Shah
This weekend, we will be looking at the parable of the barren fig tree. A tree that isn’t bearing fruit is really quite pointless. However, in the parable, the keeper of the vineyard sees the possibility of fruit coming from the tree with just a little care. The title of the message this weekend is “PRODUCE.”
Neighbor by Pastor Abidan Shah
This weekend, we turn our attention to the parable of the good Samaritan. This is one of the most well-known parables, and yet we will hear its challenge with fresh ears this weekend. Just like Jesus’ original audience, we are called to be a neighbor to those around us. The title of the message this weekend is “NEIGHBOR.”
Built by Pastor Abidan Shah
This weekend, we are examining the parable of the wise and foolish builders. Jesus compared his listeners to builders who constructed houses, one upon a rock and the other on sandy ground. He gave a vivid picture of what happens to individuals who hear the Word but do not obey it. The title of this weekend’s message is “BUILT.”
Cost by Pastor Abidan Shah
This weekend, we will be looking at Jesus’ words to His disciples. He describes the cost of living a life of obedience to God and taking up their crosses to follow after Him. This parable caused the disciples to examine their hearts and determine if they were truly willing to forsake all others and follow Jesus. The title of this weekend’s message is “COST.”
