Pastor Edwards preached a timely message titled, "The Word." In today’s world, where opinions shift, interpretations differ, and trends constantly change, the Bible stands as an eternal, unchanging truth.

Leadership #1 The Importance of Good Christian Leadership
Thursday Nov 07, 2024
Thursday Nov 07, 2024
Leadership is foundational to any organization, but when it comes to the church—the body of Christ—leadership is essential to fulfilling God’s mission. Good Christian leaders aren’t just a bonus; they are a biblical necessity. Without strong, godly leaders, the church will struggle to thrive, to grow, and to reach the world with the gospel.
Scripture References:
Ephesians 4:11-12
I Corinthians 12:12
Exodus 18
Hebrews 13:7
I Timothy 3:1-7
Ephesians 4:3
I Corinthians 1:10
Matthew 28:19-20
"Good leadership in the body of Christ isn’t just important; it’s essential. Without strong, godly leaders, the church cannot fulfill its mission to equip the saints, grow in unity, or spread the gospel to the ends of the earth. I hope today’s episode has inspired you to reflect on the role of leadership in your own life, whether you are already serving or just starting to sense the call. Remember, leadership isn’t about a title; it’s about serving others and pointing them to Jesus."

Discipleship: Serving God, serving others
Wednesday Nov 06, 2024
Wednesday Nov 06, 2024
1. Defining the Character of a Christian
Galatians 5:22-23 (NKJV):'But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.'
2. A Heart to Serve Others
Matthew 20:28 (NKJV), it says:'just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.'
Philippians 2:3-4 (NKJV)'Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.'
3. A Heart to Serve God
Colossians 3:23-24 (NKJV), 'And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.'
Romans 12:1 (NKJV)'I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.'

Discipleship: The Character of Jesus: Submissive & Obedient
Thursday Oct 31, 2024
Thursday Oct 31, 2024
Pastor Edwards teaches on the character of the believer and specifically looks at the example of Jesus.
Jesus's submission to God's will.
John 6:38
Matthew 26:39
Obedience is rooted involve.
John 14:31
The call to reflect Jesus' character.
Philippians 2:5-8
So, how can we begin to cultivate a heart like Jesus'? Here are a few practical steps:
Spend Time in God’s Presence – The more time we spend with God, the more we align our desires with His.
Seek God’s Will First – In every situation, big or small, make it a habit to pray, 'Not my will, but Yours be done.'
Be Willing to Let Go of Your Own Agenda – Recognize that God’s plan is better, even if it’s different from what we envisioned.
Trust God’s Goodness – Submission and obedience require us to believe that God’s plans are for our good, even if we can’t see the full picture yet.

The Church! Part 3
Tuesday Oct 29, 2024
Tuesday Oct 29, 2024
Pastor Edwards jumps into the 7 churches Jesus talks about to John in the book of Revelation during our series called, "The Church."
Monday Oct 28, 2024
The Church! Part 2
Monday Oct 28, 2024
Monday Oct 28, 2024
Pastor Edwards teaches on the mission of the church. It has not changed since Jesus gave us the blueprints for it in Matthew 28:19-20. The church must rise up and follow the great commission. We have work to do!
Matthew 28:19-20 NKJV: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, “teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
1. The Church is Called to Make Disciples
15:16 (NKJV), Jesus says: "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain."
2. Teaching and Observing the Commands of Christ
II Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV) tells us: "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." Teaching is not just for knowledge but to help believers live godly, fruitful lives.
3. Baptizing New Believers
Romans 6:4 (NKJV) "Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."
4. Reaching the Nations
Acts 1:8 (NKJV) "You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
5. The Church's Power and Promise
Matthew 16:18 (NKJV): "I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it."

Discipleship: The Character of a Believer, Compassionate & Caring
Thursday Oct 17, 2024
Thursday Oct 17, 2024
The Bible is filled with examples of Jesus’ caring nature—His deep love for people, especially the broken, the hurting, and the outcast. As followers of Christ, we are called to reflect that same compassion in our lives. Let’s explore how Jesus showed compassion and how we, as His disciples, can carry that same heart into our world today.
Practical ways to live this out:
1. See people as Jesus sees people.
2. Step into their suffering.
3. Meet practical needs.
4. Pray for a heart of compassion.
Scripture references:
Matthew 9:36
Mark 1:40-41
Matthew 14:14

Growing Your Faith Part 1
Wednesday Jul 03, 2024
Wednesday Jul 03, 2024
Here are the scripture references for this lesson on faith! Enjoy God's word!
Number 23:19 NKJV: “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
Hebrews 11:1(NKJV) - "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV), we read, "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."
Romans 10:17 (NKJV) "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
James 1:2-4 (NKJV) encourages us, "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing."
Galatians 5:6 (NKJV) tells us, "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love."
