"Charge to the Church"

Scripture:

Synopsis: God has ordained the local church as His instrument in this age, calling believers to live from a clear identity in Christ—marked by genuine, discerning love that hates evil, honors others, and grows fervent through the Spirit—so they proclaim the gospel as recipients of God’s mercy. The church flourishes and advances the mission when members know and esteem their pastor in love, submit to his shepherding and counsel (especially before major decisions), and cultivate a united, family-like fellowship that strengthens gospel witness.

"Be careful how you live: Buy up the Opportunities"

Scripture: Ephesians 5:15-21

Speaker: Dr. Billy Gotcher

Synopsis: Because God has saved us by grace in Christ, we’re called to walk carefully and intentionally in a dark, distracting culture—living by Scripture rather than convenience, redeeming our time, and seeking to understand and do the Lord’s will. A listener is pressed to reject casual, consumer Christianity and instead yield to the Spirit in practical ways—turning from controlling “intoxicants,” growing through the Word and prayer, serving faithfully, speaking and singing gospel truth, giving thanks in all things, submitting humbly, and sharing Christ boldly.
