What the Faithful Do | J. Allen Mashburn

Thursday Jul 09, 2020
Being a Christian isn't for wimps! We have an adversary that is powerful, smart, certainly industrious, and seemingly knows no boundaries. However, we have a God who is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. In the Word of God, we are given a blueprint of how a faithful believer operates, and conducts himself or herself.
Join us today as we see "What the Faithful Do."

America: A Nation in Need of Repentance | Allen Mashburn
Monday Jul 06, 2020
Monday Jul 06, 2020
I would like to draw our attention to what I believe is the greatest need in America today.
Many believe that our greatest need is jobs, others are sure the economy is the priority need of our nation, and still others would tell us that our greatest need is political, that we somehow must heal the political divide that hinders our nation from moving to a solution for its problems. I want you to know that our greatest problem as a nation is something far more easily solved than the economy, jobs, or political partisanship. Our greatest need in America is spiritual, and simple repentance and a return to biblical principles would do more to heal the wounds of this nation than anything else that can be named. Not only would a true spiritual revival cure the problems in America, it would be a swift solution that would result in immediate changes in every realm of American life.
Today, I want to take us back to the final days of the nation of Judah. A prophet named Jeremiah had been sent to them to preach to them the Word of the Lord. Judah, like America, refused to hear or heed the Word of God, and they were judged for their sins. America is headed toward the same end, if she does not repent of her sins and turn back to God. I want to speak on A Nation in Need of Repentance, and show you some of the lessons we can learn from ancient Judah. Let me share the lessons this text makes crystal clear. Join us as we discuss A Nation in Need of Repentance.

Why True Believers Can Rejoice | Allen Mashburn

Paul spends considerable time detailing man's need for salvation. We have learned that man is a sinner and that he abides under the wrath of God. We have learned that nothing associated with religion, works, the Law, or with rituals can ever provide salvation to humanity. We have seen that we are totally dependent upon faith to bring us into a right relationship with the Lord. It all comes down to realizing that it is not what we do that makes the difference in the saving of our souls, it is all about Who we know. When we know Jesus, we have salvation, when we do not know Jesus, we are lost, 1 John 5:12.
With this truth firmly nailed down, Paul now moves forward in his discussion of the doctrines of salvation. Now, Paul begins to tell his readers the benefits of being saved by grace through faith. In these first 5 verses of chapter 5, Paul tells us Why True Believers Can Rejoice in their salvation. It is that theme that I want to spend some time looking at this evening. I want to tell you Why True Believers Can Rejoice. If you haven't been in a rejoicing mood lately, I want to show you why every child of God has the right to praise the Lord and be filled with "joy unspeakable and full of glory", 1 Peter 1:8.

God's Idea of a Great Dad | J. Allen Mashburn
Saturday Jun 20, 2020
Saturday Jun 20, 2020
In the Bible, we are confronted with many poor examples of fathers.
Those who would fit this bill would be: Ahab – 1 Kings 22:52; the men of Israel, Psa. 78:8, 78:57, Jer. 9:14. These Scriptures, along with many others, give glaring proof that there are bad fathers all about. In our day, the bad father is not hard to find. They are everywhere. However, finding that man who stands out as an example of what a good father ought to be is a hard animal to track down. About 3,500 years ago, God looked down on Abraham and declared him to be a good father. If a person will take the time to look at the life of Abraham, the reasons for this glowing assessment become abundantly clear. Today, we are going to look at Abraham’s life and see God’s idea of what makes a great father.
By way of introduction, let me say that we live in a day when we need good male role models. It is getting hard for boys to find good, Christian males who are worth looking up to. It seems that men have forgotten what it means to be men. Our society seems determined to blur the line between the roles of men and those of women, but I say we need some real men who are not afraid to be men.
1. Remember when men were men?
2. Remember when you could tell by looking?
3. Remember when men knew who they were, liked how they were, & didn't want to be anything but what they were?
4. Remember when it was the men who boxed & wrestled & bragged about how much they could bench press?
5. Remember when it was the women who wore the makeup, the earrings & the swimsuits?
6. Remember when it was the men who initiated the contact & took the lead in a relationship, made lifelong commitments, treated a woman like a lady, & modeled a masculinity that displayed security & stability?
We need fewer spineless wimps who've never disentangled themselves from mama's apron strings, & more clear-thinking, hard-working, straight-talking men who, while tender, thoughtful, & loving, don't feel the need to ask permission for taking charge. I'm convinced that most single ladies would love to have men like that to spend time with...& most wives long to have men like that to share life with. Children especially like having dads like that.
Our children are looking for men like that!
