This world views the disciples of Christ and Christians as crazy, which is a good thing if we are crazy for Christ’s sake. We consider some examples in scripture in which we should be crazy, in comparison to this world. We should be crazy in forgiveness, compassion, and faithfulness.

These messages on conquering fear were delivered at Macedonia PBC by Pastor David from January to April 2024. Fear is a natural emotion that we all have and sometimes struggle with, but fear left unchecked can create torment and bondage in our lives. We consider together the ways in which fear might be expressed in our lives, and also the remedies and weapons the Lord has given us to conquer the spirit of fear.
These messages were delivered by Pastor David on the Gospel of Grace Radio Broadcast from September 2023 to March 2024. For the sincere child of God, we want to follow and be obedient to God’s will. However, practically speaking, what actually is God’s will? how do I know and discern God’s will for my life? how does God guide His children in walking in His will? In this sermon series together, we consider the verses that address God’s will in scripture and try to consider some practical ways that we can discern and walk in accordance with God’s will during our lives.
As we begin a new year, it can be overwhelming to consider all the commands in scripture that we are to obey. Therefore, here are a few simple commands that we can focus on as we begin a new year.
Here are 7 simple commands to focus on as a goal each day in the new year:
These commands come from 3 verses that describe all-encompassing themes that if we focus on then we will serve God in an acceptable way.
From November 2022 to ___ on Wednesday nights, Pastor David preached through the Gospel of John.
In introducing the Gospel of John, we also considered a topical survey of 1st John which presents similar major themes as John’s gospel. Sermons from 1st John can be found here.
From July to December 2023, Pastor David at Macedonia PBC preached through the book of Nehemiah. God providentially moves Nehemiah to press through an effectual, open door to rebuild the broken-down walls of Jerusalem. Despite all the attacks of Satan, Nehemiah and the Jews overcame all these obstacles and completed the rebuilding of the wall in record time in only 52 days. We examine the pattern of Nehemiah for how we ought to be kingdom builders and overcome our adversaries through faith in Jesus Christ.

“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” (1 Thess. 5:18)
It seems each year as we arrive in late November approaching the Thanksgiving holiday, I am convicted of how much I have taken for granted and not given appropriate thanksgiving for God’s blessings in my life. Rather than an annual, once-a-year remembrance of God’s blessings and thanksgiving, the Lord commands his people to give thanks “always” (Eph. 3:20). Furthermore, God’s will for us is to give thanks “in every thing.” (1 Thess. 5:18) We certainly do not give thanks “for” everything in our lives. We don’t thank God “for” sin, temptations, sickness, death, the devil, and the evil of this world. However, in spite of any circumstance we encounter in this life, we can still give thanks to God “in” the midst of any trial.
These messages were delivered by Pastor David on the Gospel of Grace Radio Broadcast from November 2022 to August 2023. Sometimes the books of the Mosaic Law can become tedious and maybe even boring. However, when we read the law searching for Jesus Christ, the law takes on a much greater excitement. We spend time examining the Mosaic law and consider together how the law truly “testifies” of our coming Redeemer, Jesus Christ. “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” (John 5:39)
