July 6, 2025 - Elder Bryce Lowrance - "Samson" Hebrews 11:32c

"Samson" • Hebrews 11:32c & Judges 13-16 - Elder Bryce Lowrance.
Samson is a clear case of the sovereignty of God in deliverance. God set a side Samson from before he was born, and despite his continual disobedience and horrible choices, God uses him to deliver Israel from the Philistines.

June 29, 2025 • Brother Jonah Lowrance & Elder Bryce Lowrance

"The First Resurrection" • John 5 & Revelation 20 - Brother Jonah Lowrance.
Brother Jonah shows the clear connection between the new birth mentioned in John 5 and the first resurrection mentioned in Revelation 20. Both of these are caused by the voice of Jesus Christ and both ensure that the children of God will not come into the condemnation of the second death.
 
"Barak" • Hebrews 11:32 & Judges 4 - Elder Bryce Lowrance -
Barak is an interesting example of faith because his faith was mixed with some fear. He does not allow his fear to stop him but uses faith to continue trusting in the promise of God. Even though a woman receives the glory of the victory over Sisera, Barak believes the word of God and leads 10,000 foot soldiers against the mighty iron chariots of Sisera.

June 15, 2025 Elder Bryce Lowrance • Psalm 43

"Have a Little Talk with Myself" • Psalm 43 - Elder Bryce Lowrance
Psalm 43 is very similar to Psalm 42 and may have been written on the same occasion or trial in David's life. In this Psalm we see that David does not dwell on his dire situation and whine in self pity. He calls on God for help. He desires to get back to public worship. And he preaches to himself that God is strength and help.

June 8, 2025 - Elder Bryce Lowrance • Gideon - Hebrews 11:32a

"Gideon" • Hebrews 11:32a - Elder Bryce Lowrance
When God came to Gideon he was threshing wheat hiding behind a winepress but God did not see him as a coward. God called Gideon a mighty man of valor because of what God was going to do with him! When we walk by faith and feel the fellowship of God in our lives, we can better understand how God views us as perfect through the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ.

June 1, 2025 - Brother Jonah Lowrance & Elder Bryce Lowrance

"We Can Trust the Bible" • Various Scriptures - Brother Jonah Lowrance.
The resurrection of Christ is true; it is history. It is not some far-fetched story requiring more evidence for us to believe. The word of God gives us all we need to have confidence in this truth. In scripture we see prophesies from David, Daniel, and Isaiah that were fulfilled and the testimony of eye witnesses to Christ’s resurrection. 
"Faith at Jericho" • Hebrews 11:30-31 - Elder Bryce Lowrance
The next example of faith the Apostle uses in Hebrews is two-fold. The Israelites trusted the word of God that He would give them the city of Jericho if they simply walked around the city. Rahab believed God would give the Israelites the city as well, so she hid the spies and made a contract with them to spare her. Both believed that God would deliver them. One was delivered when the walls fell. The other was delivered when the walls stayed up!

May 25, 2025 - Elder Bryce Lowrance • Crossing the Red Sea - Hebrews 11:29

"Crossing the Red Sear" • Hebrews 11:29 - Elder Bryce Lowrance.
The next example of faith that the Apostle gives in Hebrews is when the children of Israel crossed through the Red Sea on dry ground. This amazing example of trusting the word of God had the Israelites step into the midst of towering waters to escape the hands of Pharaoh.
