Freedom Over Bondage – Galatians 5:1-15 (5/24/26 p.m. sermon)

jpsivley@gmail.com (Orangeburg church of Christ) — Sun, 24 May 2026 19:33:39 +0000

Most people think that freedom means being able to do whatever I want, whenever I want. But true freedom, and especially Biblical freedom isn’t about the lack of restraint, but about being set free to truly serve and love.

Let the Children come – Mark 10:13-16 (5/25/26 a.m. sermon)

jpsivley@gmail.com (Orangeburg church of Christ) — Sun, 24 May 2026 19:32:03 +0000

Some people view children as merely to be tolerated, but to Jesus, they mattered. He welcomed children, and even gave them as an example to follow for his disciples. And he still welcomes those who will come to him with a child-like faith.

Philippians: Lesson 12- Contentment – Philippians 4:10-13 (5/24/26 Bible Class)

jpsivley@gmail.com (Orangeburg church of Christ) — Sun, 24 May 2026 19:30:30 +0000

Many people know the words of Philippians 4:13, but the context surrounding it reveals the true meaning of Paul’s words. Contentment is not dependent on our circumstances, but in Christ we can learn to be content in whatever circumstances we find ourselves.

That You May Overcome: Revelation 17-19a – The Fall of Babylon – Part 1 (5/20/26 Bible Class)

jpsivley@gmail.com (Orangeburg church of Christ) — Thu, 21 May 2026 17:33:28 +0000

Revelation 17-19 focuses on the fall of the entity known as “Babylon.” Chapter 17 primarily helps us to understand exactly what Babylon is, namely the seductive power of Rome (and empire in general), which has enticed many to give allegiance to it, and drinks the blood of those who reject her.

A Tale of Two… – Galatians 4:21-31 (5/17/26 p.m. sermon)

jpsivley@gmail.com (Orangeburg church of Christ) — Sun, 17 May 2026 19:56:22 +0000

When in danger of going the wrong way, sometimes an illustration works best to make a case for turning to the right way. Paul’s uses the story of Hagar and Sarah and their sons to illustrate the difference between justification by works and justification by faith.

Better Now to Marry? – Matthew 19:10-12 (5/17/26 a.m. sermon)

jpsivley@gmail.com (Orangeburg church of Christ) — Sun, 17 May 2026 19:54:29 +0000

When Jesus spoke of God’s ideal for marriage in Matthew 19, he took a very narrow view of what permitted a divorce to take place. In response, his disciples supposed it might be better not to be married. Join us as we consider how Jesus responded to that idea, as well as what Paul says regarding how one’s marital status might affect their service for Christ.

Philippians: Lesson 11 – Conduct – Philippians 4:2-9 (5/17/26 Bible Class)

jpsivley@gmail.com (Orangeburg church of Christ) — Sun, 17 May 2026 19:52:28 +0000

As Philippians begins to draw to a close, Paul addresses two sisters who needed to mend fences. He explains how keeping a proper focus, on joy and gentleness, on prayer and good things, can help us to maintain unity as brethren and work together in service to the Lord.

Teacher: Matt Burleson

jpsivley@gmail.com (Orangeburg church of Christ) — Thu, 14 May 2026 16:35:48 +0000

In this week’s class, we conclude our discussion of Revelation 16 by focusing on the final bowl of wrath. Toward the end of the lesson we do transition into some introductory material for chapter 17, but we will primarily focus on that discussion next week.

Teacher: Justin P. Sivley

Why Turn Back? – Galatians 4:1-20 (5/10/26 p.m. sermon)

jpsivley@gmail.com (Orangeburg church of Christ) — Sun, 10 May 2026 19:41:39 +0000

Having been set free in Christ, we’ve been broken out of our captivity to those things which held us in bondage before. But just like the Galatians, we sometimes find ourselves in danger of submitting again to the yoke of bondage. Paul would warn us, and urge us, remember who you are now in Christ, and the place that he has brought you out of.

Speaker: Justin P. Sivley

Honoring Mothers With Jesus – John 19:26-27 (5/10/26 a.m. sermon)

jpsivley@gmail.com (Orangeburg church of Christ) — Sun, 10 May 2026 19:37:38 +0000

There aren’t many occasions when Jesus addressed motherhood directly, but when he does, there is often a deeper spiritual principle that can be understood and followed by all of his disciples.
