April 15, 2023 12:50 - 37 minutes - 12.8 MBApril 7, 2023 PM, Various. Lord’s Table: The Man of Sorrows Any time you distance yourself from God will certainly cause grief, either in the short term or long term, or both. But it will cause you grief, and probably it will cause others grief as well. It also causes Jesus grief. The Lord can ultimately deliver you from that sin and grief. Hopefully you will experience that very soon. And if you are in the midst of grief and sorrow because of loss or other situations beyond your control, be...

Jacob and Esau
April 01, 2023 18:14 - 57 minutes - 19.6 MBMarch 26, 2023 AM, Genesis 25:1-34. Jacob and Esau - This all is interesting history, to be sure. But it is more than that. It shows God’s providential direction of world history and His personal interest in individuals with whom He is working. It begins to warn us of partiality, and thoroughly calls us back from despising the covenant promises of God. If you walk away from God’s promises, you walk away from God and into a frightful and dark situation. Our Scripture reading was Acts 10:1-48

A Wife for Isaac - God made arrangements for Isaac to find a wife, thus to be able to have children, and to propagate the Abrahamic lineage to the next generation. The promise was secure. For us, it would be good to consider some objective principles for finding a marriage partner, for the exact experience of the servant of Abraham is not how it works. What are some of these principles? One is that you must be solid in your conviction that marriage is a per...

Announcement of the Resurrection
February 19, 2023 10:09 - 36 minutes - 12.5 MBFebruary 8, 2023 PM, Matthew 28:1-8. In just under two months (April 9, 2023) we will be celebrating the resurrection of Christ. But today in our verse-by-verse study in Matthew, we are already at the Scripture which reveals that miraculous event which is at the very foundation of the Christian faith. The text does not give any “theology” or “explanation of the meaning” of the events. It just recounts what happened. Let us read through it with Matthew and see what we can glean. One thing we ...
The Proper Use of the Law
February 08, 2023 18:00 - 49 minutes - 17.1 MBFebruary 5, 2023 PM, 1 Timothy 1:8-11. Our assistant pastor helpfully explains that there were certain false teachers who were misusing the Mosaic Law in the church at Ephesus.

Why is In-Person Church Attendance Required?
February 08, 2023 17:44 - 33 minutes - 11.4 MBFebruary 5, 2023 SS, Various. "Membership has its privileges." So says the marketing slogan of American Express starting back in 1987. But when we are talking about being part of (a member of) a church, it has far more than just a few scant privileges. It has massive responsibilities and blessings. Being a formal member is not just having access to a list of "perks." For those who have forgotten, I thought it would be a good time to remind us about our responsibilities and blessings as membe...
God’s Promise and Protection
February 04, 2023 18:25 - 51 minutes - 17.6 MBJanuary 29, 2023 AM, Genesis 21:1-34. God promised a son to Abraham and Sarah, and He brought that promise to fruition.

What do you suppose God has done and can do for you? Our Scripture reading was in Acts 2.

Purpose of Paul's Command: Love
January 24, 2023 23:21 - 31 minutes - 10.9 MBJanuary 22, 2023 PM, 1 Timothy 1:4-7. The apostle Paul exhorts Timothy to correct false doctrine in Ephesus so that the believers will exhibit genuine Christian love. This love arises from three character traits: a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith. Our focus in church ministry should be to cultivate those characteristics in each and every Christian person. Scripture reading was in Romans 2.
Abraham and Abimelech
January 24, 2023 23:11 - 51 minutes - 17.6 MBJanuary 22, 2023 AM, Genesis 20. After some initial remarks about Sanctity of Life Sunday, Pastor Postiff taught through Genesis 20. After the incident of Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham "goes on with life" and resumes moving about the land that God had deeded to him (v. 1). The first incident narrated for us is about the interaction of Abraham and Abimelech. In it we learn: Abimelech taking Sarah was a threat to the fulfillment of God’s promise that a son would come to her via Abraham. God was ...

January 24, 2023 18:52 - 31 minutes - 10.9 MBJanuary 18, 2023 PM, Matthew 27:51-56. A number of signs (divinely arranged significant events) happened right around the time of Jesus's death. They included the tearing of the veil in the temple, the earthquake, the resurrection of some Old Testament-era saints, and some critical observations by the soldiers and onlooking women. Listen in to hear about these events and their importance.
Sound Doctrine
January 16, 2023 19:59 - 53 minutes - 18.3 MBJanuary 15, 2023 PM, 1 Timothy 1:3-7. The Apostle Paul was endowed with power by Jesus Christ. Paul writes to Timothy to remain in Ephesus, to address the false teachers who taught unsound doctrine. There was much division in the church, some desiring to be teachers of the law but not understanding accurately what they were teaching. We see Paul's intent of his letter to Timothy, that the church must soley consist of the accurate gospel of Jesus Christ, the only sound doctrine. Our Scripture...
Sodom and Gomorrah
January 16, 2023 19:58 - 55 minutes - 19.2 MBJanuary 15, 2023 AM, Genesis 18:16-19:38. This passage falls naturally into five sections. God reveals to Abraham his plans to judge Sodom for its sin, Abraham intercedes for the righteous people living there, and then two angels go to Sodom and survey the situation and rescue Lot and his two daughters. Lot’s life post-Sodom was a mess. Note that in remembering mercy toward Lot, God was honoring His servant Abraham and the covenant that He had made with Abraham. Here are some wise principles:...
Trials and a Believers Response, Part 5

Messiah Scourged, Mocked and Crucified, Part 2
January 16, 2023 19:57 - 34 minutes - 11.9 MBJanuary 11, 2023 PM, Matthew 27:45-50. We continue studying the suffering of Jesus after the trial in front of Pilate and substitution of Barabbas. Things progress downhill rapidly. The gospel portrays for us a severely suffering Messiah. His physical suffering was matched by the emotional torment of nearly everyone turning against Him. The world was basically opposed to this perfect Man. They did so with almost complete misunderstanding of Him, even mocking him for who He really was. Let’s m...
Greeting from Paul to Timothy
January 08, 2023 20:36 - 51 minutes - 17.8 MBJanuary 8, 2023 PM, 1 Timothy 1:1-2. In this message Jansen Lorch leads our new study in the book of Timothy. We consider the greeting, where comments stated in these first two verses form the foundation of the letter. Paul invoked upon Timothy the same grace, mercy, and peace that God gives us. We can experience His grace, mercy, and peace continuously, thanks be to God! Our Scripture reading was found in 2 Chronicles 36:1-23.
Isaac Promised
January 08, 2023 20:28 - 44 minutes - 15.2 MBJanuary 8, 2023 AM, Genesis 18:1-15. Take a moment to review what we have studied lately in Genesis. Start with chapter 12—God’s initial description of the terms of the Abrahamic covenant. Abram moved to Egypt temporarily. In chapter 13, Abram moved back to the promised land and had to split from Lot because of their combined herd size. Lot moved toward Sodom, a decision that would prove devastating in two separate incidents in the future. The first such incident was in chapter 14, where Lot ...

January 08, 2023 20:11 - 33 minutes - 11.3 MBJanuary 4, 2023 PM, Matthew 27:26-44. We continue studying the suffering of Jesus after the trial in front of Pilate and substitution of Barabbas. Things progress downhill rapidly. The gospel portrays for us a severely suffering Messiah. His physical suffering was matched by the emotional torment of nearly everyone turning against Him.

Anna the Prophetess on the Birth of Messiah
January 03, 2023 20:58 - 40 minutes - 14 MBJanuary 1, 2023 AM, Luke 2:36-38. When reading this short account about Anna, we would have to work hard to avoid some serious questions for ourselves. • Do we care about what Christmas really means? • Are we like “those who looked for redemption”? • Are we as keen as they were to hear from Anna her aged wisdom, or do we throw all that to the side of the road and barrel down the highway of life oblivious to what our elders have learned and what God has promised to do in the world? • Are we li...

A Lamb Led to the Slaughter
January 03, 2023 20:18 - 35 minutes - 12 MBDecember 28, 2022 PM, Matthew 27:26-35. We continue the study of Jesus after the trial and the substitution of Barabbas, a murderer, who deserved the death penalty. Jesus, however, was set to be crucified instead. Pilate, the Roman governor handed Him over to His death, just as the crowd demanded. The Roman soldiers scourged and mocked Him and led Him to be crucified. All these events occurred during the Passover. The Roman soldiers compelled a man of Cyrene, Simon, to bear His cross. When th...
