In today’s study Paul turns his attention to godly leaders and servants. We need godly leaders to shepherd the church and we need godly servants who can serve the church. It’s easy to get lost in the details of this chapter and not see the big picture of what God wants. God wants us to focus on the kind of person that is being described and the work they are doing. And so we begin... Thanks for listening, God bless you! To find out more about our church please go to www.whccnb.org.

In today’s study we’ll find that the Apostle Paul's corrective instructions go against the status quo. No doubt a number of people were upset: Those who neglected evangelism, the men who worshipped while engaged in bitter disputes and the women who were usurping authority in the church. But Paul's instructions were necessary to help the church at Ephesus become stable and strong. Taking steps to correct wrong directions and false doctrine are never easy. But when executed with the help and direction of the Spirit of God, they can be health-producing to a congregation that has been ill. Let’s talk about it. Thanks for listening, God bless you!

Do you remember your life before Christ? What you were, what you did? Paul remembered...he remembered how he was a blasphemer and persecutor of Christ and His people. But he also remembered how God showed him mercy, saved and changed his life and gave him a new direction. Then Paul, in turn, encouraged Timothy and gave him some important instructions to help him deal with issues within the church in Ephesus. Ready to find out more? Awesome...then let’s go.

Today we’re going to examine Psalm 23. Since this psalm is so familiar, we’re in danger of missing the depth of its meaning. And because its setting is in the world of sheep and shepherds many of us city folks can slide right past its richness. Come journey with us as we discover The Lord Who Leads. Thanks for listening. God bless you! To find out more about our church please go to www.whccnb.org.

Welcome to our new 12-week Bible study on 1 & 2 Timothy. Today we begin with 1 Timothy 1:1-11. One of the repeated and stressed themes in 1 Timothy is the tight connection between belief and behavior, or teaching and practice. Sound, or “healthy,” teaching leads to godliness while false teaching is unpro­ductive at best and damning at worst. From the onset of the letter, Paul charges Timothy to “instruct certain people not to teach any different doctrine.” Who are these “certain people” and what is Timothy supposed to say? It’s all right here so let’s get to it. Thanks for listening, God bless you! To find out more about our church please go to www.whccnb.org.

A very happy and blessed Father’s Day to all the dads as well as to those who have had to do or are doing “double duty” so-to-speak being both mom and dad—we love you and are grateful to you! Today we’re going to talk about Fathers and Ps 128. In this psalm you’ll see that God tells earthly fathers He wants to bless their families, make them strong and to make their homes to be safe and happy places. But how does God do that and what is the fathers role in it all? Stay with us and let’s find out. Thanks for listening. God bless you! To find out more about our church please go to www.whccnb.org.

Jesus prayed to the Father for us in John 17:17 when He said, “Make them holy by Your truth; teach them Your Word, which is truth.” (NLT) Essentially, Jesus is telling us that the Bible you hold in your hands is TRUTH. The Bible is like an ancient boundary marker, it marks the beginning and the ending of truth. But what is a boundary marker and why should we protect them? Stay tuned and you’ll find...and you’ll be glad you did! Thanks for listening. God bless you! To find out more about our church please go to www.whccnb.org.
