May 31, 2026 • Brother Jonah Lowrance - "Examples of God's Providence"

Brother Jonah Lowrance “Examples of God's Providence” • Isaiah 10, Genesis 50, Acts 4 Brother Jonah explored  God's providence as described in Isaiah 10 with God's judgement against Israel but also His judgement against Assyria. Although Assyria was the very tool by which God accomplished His will in chastening Israel, they too were judged by God for their pride. This same providential power was displayed in the life of Joseph and of Jesus.  This message was preached on Sunday, May 31, 2026.

May 24, 2026 • Elder Bryce Lowrance "The Purpose of the Gospel" - 1st Peter 4:6-11

"The Purpose of the Gospel" • 1st Peter 4:6-11 - Elder Bryce Lowrance There is wondrous power and help found in the gospel for the children of God. In this passage, Peter tells us that the Christ has been giving testimony to God’s people throughout time so that they could face the unjust judgment of the world but continue to live for God. Seeing that we now have a complete account of redemption through Jesus Christ, we can live in liberty loving others as Christ loves us. We do not have to worry about our salvation or about how bad the world is getting. We can look forward to the imminent return of Jesus and be good stewards of the graces God has given us to use in His service while we look for that day. This message was preached on Sunday, May 24, 2026.

"What Is Our Source of Wisdom? Isaiah 8:19-20 & 9:6 - Brother Jonah Lowrance When you need to make a decision in life, where do you find counsel? We can choose to use men's methods in which there is no light or true understanding, or we can go to Jesus Christ, the Counselor!   "The Logic of Suffering for Christ" • 1st Peter 4:1-5 - Elder Bryce Lowrance After someone has found out that you believe in grace plus nothing, have they said something like this: "Well, if I believed like you, I would have my fill of sin!" Well, in this portion of scripture, Peter deals with that very statement. Those who truly see that Christ died for their sins confess that they HAVE had their oil of sin, and they don't want anymore!  They see that since Christ, Who was and is in perfectly sinless, died for their sins, it only makes sense that their lives should be devoted to serving Him.  These messages were preached on Sunday, May 17, 2026.

May 10, 2026 • Elder Bryce Lowrance "Suffering For, Like, and With Christ" - 1st Peter 3:17-22

“Suffering For, Like, and With Christ”” •  1st Peter 3:17-22 - Elder Bryce Lowrance    Peter now comes to climax of his argument why we should face troubles in this world with courage. Using Noah as the example of Christ being with him in Spirit, Peter argues that we do not face the trials of life alone because Christ is in us to bear us up and help us.   This message was preached on Sunday, May 10, 2026.

“Sanctify the LORD of Hosts” • Isaiah 8:11-15 - Brother Jonah Lowrance  Isaiah prophesies about the coming captivity for Judah, and he warns them to not seek to make allies of nations around them to try to stem off the invasion. He tells them to not face adversity like the world does. He tells them to fear God only and seek to do His ways. In this immediate prophecy, Isaiah also foretells of the coming Messiah Who would deliver the Israel of God. Isaiah looked for that coming. “Be Ready to Answer” • Isaiah 8:12-18 & 1st Peter 3:13-17 - Elder Bryce Lowrance  Peter, having just used David as a learning example of trusting self instead of God, now give Judah, and in particular Isaiah, as an example of how we should face adversity and trial. Judah is facing captivity but Isaiah reminds them to not go into this trial thinking and acting like the nations around. Rather, Isaiah trusts in the Lord and looks for (hopes) for the coming of the Messiah. We now have the testimony that was bound up for the disciples. It is the gospel of the finished work fo Jesus Christ. We can continue to live as the elect of God even if we suffer for because we have our eyes focused on the promised return of our Savior, Jesus Christ.  These messages were preached on Sunday, May 3, 2026
