The Right Perspective - I Peter 1:24,25

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Fri, 24 Nov 2023 14:15:00 +0000

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Tue, 14 Nov 2023 15:00:00 +0000

Paul is instructing Timothy to ensure sound doctrine is taught in the church. Judaizers have crept in telling Gentile Christians that they must keep the law in order to be a Christian.

Living As Strangers - I Peter 1:17

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Fri, 06 Oct 2023 14:00:00 +0000

In Philippians 3:29, Paul tells us, "For our conversation is in heaven, from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ." The word conversation in this verse has the idea of citizenship. We as Christians are pilgrims here on earth. Our true citizenship is in Heaven. Although we have never yet seen our homeland, we are still none the less citizens of there and are to conduct ourselves as such here in Earth. We must learn to live as a citizens of Heaven.

Do You Have A Disposition Of Love? - I Timothy 1:5

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Tue, 03 Oct 2023 13:15:00 +0000

As Paul continues to instruct young Timothy on ensuring sound doctrine in the church, he talks about love. Love is a misunderstood word today. I have heard it said and have repeated many times, "It not only matter that you have the right position, but also the right disposition." You may have the right position on issues, but if you do not demonstrate love with your position, you will be very abrasive. We must have both the right position and disposition.

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Fri, 29 Sep 2023 14:00:00 +0000

Faith In The Revealed Word - I Peter 1:10-12

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Fri, 22 Sep 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Peter now encourages the believers to whom he is writing to have a complete faith in the revealed Word of God. He does this by reminding them that the Old Testament Prophets wrote much of their prophecy without having a true understanding of what they were writing. They searched to understand things regarding their Messiah, but could not understand. Now that Christ has come, we have an understanding of how He provides salvation, and we understand His sufferings and coming return to set up His kingdom. We must understand that we must trust the revealed Word of God.

What Doest Thou Here? - I Kings 18:41-19:18

Elijah has prayed that it will not rain. He was taken care of by the ravens at the Brook Cherith. He then was provided for by a widow. After much time he went back to Ahab and challenges the prophets of Baal. He has a great victory as God send fire from Heaven and he kills the false prophets. We must understand that we must continue to follow God.

How To Handle Trials - I Peter 1:6,7

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Fri, 25 Aug 2023 14:00:00 +0000

Trials will come in the life of the believer, how a believer handles the trial will determine if they grow closer to God or become angry and bitter against God. We must handle trials according to God's Word.

Your Sin Affects Others - I Corinthians 5:1-13

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Tue, 22 Aug 2023 13:45:00 +0000

Sin is destructive and not only affects the sinner, but also those around. In this passage, the church at Corinth was rejoicing in not dealing with a sin in the church, but showing their tolerance of it. The same is happening all around today. We must remember we serve a holy God who has called us to a life of separation from sin. As a church, we are to hold one another accountable. Paul uses the illustration of leaven or yeast. When you make bread, you use a little yeast, yet the entire dough rises; so , it is with sin, a little sin. After a while we no longer view sin the same, but rather become accepting of it. We must realize a little leaven will leaven the whole lump.

Praise God For His Great Mercy - I Peter 1:3-5

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Fri, 18 Aug 2023 13:45:00 +0000

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Tue, 08 Aug 2023 14:00:00 +0000

We often hear that we are to be Disciples of Christ, but not often enough are we told how to follow Him. Jesus Himself gives us instruction on being true disciples, and we will focus on His instruction. What kind of disciple are you? Are you curious? Are you convinced, or are you committed? We must determine to be a committed follower of Jesus Christ.

To God Be The Glory (Part1) - Philippians 4:14-21

Jesus stopped at the home of Martha, Mary, and Lazarus numerous times. In the passage, we have recorded for us one of those visits. We must learn to invest time with the Savior.

Learning Contentment - Philippians 4:10-13

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Tue, 11 Apr 2023 14:00:00 +0000

People are interesting to listen to sometimes. Some never seem content. If it is raining they want sunshine. If the sun is out we need rain. It is too hot in summer, and too cold in winter. People long for vacation, and then want to go back to work after a few days off . Many are never satisfied. Paul tells us that we as Christians ought to be different. We are to be content no matter where or what God has planned for us. We must learn to be content.

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Fri, 07 Apr 2023 14:00:00 +0000

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Tue, 28 Mar 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Action Required - James 1:22-25

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Fri, 24 Mar 2023 13:45:00 +0000

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 14:30:00 +0000

Exhortations Concerning The Heart - Philippians 4:4-7

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Tue, 14 Mar 2023 13:30:00 +0000

If you want to find out how a man's heart really is listen to what he says. Some people you talk to immediately start talking about sports. You can see much about a person's heart by the activities in which they participate. Paul in continuing with exhortations to the Philippians, and the exhortations in these verses deal with our heart. We must have a right heart in order to have the right actions.

Exhortations Concerning Our Praise And Disposition - Philippians 4:1-3

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Tue, 07 Mar 2023 15:00:00 +0000

Many times a Christian will have a proper position on the Word of God, but their disposition is terrible. We need to stand for truth, and in defense of the Bible. Our position for the truth of God's Word is important, but so is our attitude and disposition. Paul begins chapter four with several exhortations. We must have both the proper position and disposition.

Marking Examples And Enemies - Philippians 3:15-21

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Tue, 28 Feb 2023 14:00:00 +0000

After Paul tell s The Philippians that we are running a race in the Christian life, he now focuses on good examples versus the enemies of the cross. We need to have discernment with whom we follow, and examine if they are truly a Godly example. The enemies of the cross will slip in and try to deceive. Paul has already identified the Judiazers that we trying to teach that you must be circumcised in order to have salvation. You and I must have discernment with people.

It's Time To Get Out Of The Boat - Matthew 14:22-33

Jesus had just fed the five thousand, and now He is sending the disciples to the other side. They obeyed, but they ran into a storm along the way. Jesus wants us to trust Him. We must take steps of faith, realizing that He will be faithful to His Word.

Running The Race - Philippians 3:12-14

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Tue, 21 Feb 2023 14:15:00 +0000

The Greeks enjoyed many games. Several of these were boxing, discus throwing, and racing. The Christians at Philippi receiving this letter from Paul would have been familiar with the foot races. Paul uses the race to make his point in this passage. The race was set in the stadium. Just as today the runners had to run a specific course and follow the rules so they would not be be disqualified in the race. There was a reward at the end of the race, and each runner was striving from the victory. We must run the race of the Christian life.

To Know Christ - Philippians 3:8-11

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Tue, 14 Feb 2023 14:30:00 +0000

The False Confidence In The Flesh - Philippians 3:4-7

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Tue, 07 Feb 2023 15:14:24 +0000

The false teachers that we learned about the last time were putting their confidence in the the flesh. They thought that they could ear their way to Heaven by the works of the flesh. Today many still think that they can get to Heaven by doing the right things. In this passage, aul gives us a list of things in his life that he was putting his trust in before he was saved. We must not put our confidence in the flesh.

Saul Viewed Opinions Greater Than Obedience - I Samuel 15:1-23

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Fri, 03 Feb 2023 14:30:00 +0000

Look Out For False Teachers - Philippians 3:1-3

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Tue, 31 Jan 2023 14:00:00 +0000

False teachers were trying to creep into the church at Philippi just as they do today. Judiazers were teaching that one must be circumcised and keep the law in order to be saved. In this chapter, Paul is giving warning to the Philippians to beware of these Judiazers. we must b on the alert for false teachers.

Adam Viewed Convenience Greater Than Consequences - Genesis 3:1-24

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Fri, 27 Jan 2023 15:15:00 +0000

Men Of Character - Philippians 2:19-30

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Tue, 24 Jan 2023 15:00:00 +0000

We all have a reputation and others expect us to act a certain way. Character is the qualities that make you who you are. Paul writes to the Philippians about two men that he considers men of character. Je plants to send both of these me to Philippi, but writes about them to the Philippians. We must live a life of consistent Christian character.

Habakkuk's Changed Focus - Habakkuk 3:1-19

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Fri, 20 Jan 2023 14:45:00 +0000

As we conclude the book of Habakkuk this morning, we will notice Habakkuk now has a complete different outlook on the situation. When we take our eyes off the circumstances and the temporary things of this world and focus rather on God and the eternal, it is amazing how our perspective changes. We must focus on God and not the thing of this world.

Living As A Son Of God - Philippians 2:14-18

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Tue, 17 Jan 2023 14:00:00 +0000

God's Chaldean Judgment - Habakkuk 2:2-20

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Fri, 13 Jan 2023 14:30:00 +0000

Habakkuk looks at the Nation of Judah continuing in wickedness and not repenting and turning to God. He is troubled by what he sees and cries to God. God then tells Habakkuk of impending judgment on Judah, and Habakkuk is astonished that God was going to use the Chaldeans to judge His people. God chose to reveal to Habakkuk that someday the Chaldeans would also be judged for their wickedness. Too often in life, we look at the prosperity of the wicked and become envious, or we question why God does not destroy the wicked and allows violence to continue. We ask the same question as Habakkuk of why do you use such people? Remember God is in control, and all will stand before him in judgment. We must learn to trust God in all things.

God Working In You - Philippians 2:12-13

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Tue, 10 Jan 2023 15:00:00 +0000

After Paul tells the Philippians about the exalted name of Christ, and that every knee will bow to Him, He now tells them that they need to continue to obey the Lord and work out their salvation. Paul is giving a reminder that it does not matter who is watching, God knows all that you do, and each of us must given an account of our lives. He further tells the Philippians that it is God who does the work in you and not yourselves. We must allow God to work through us.

The Spiritual Christian - Psalm 27:1-14

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Wed, 04 Jan 2023 14:45:00 +0000

The Psalm of David shows the confidence David had in the Lord. It is important that we as Christians examine ourselves as we are commanded to do in I Corinthians 11:28 and ensure we are walking with God and have not allowed things to slip in our lives. We must evaluate our walk with the Lord.

The Name Which Is Above Every Name - Philippians 2:9-11

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Tue, 03 Jan 2023 15:15:00 +0000

In previous messages, we saw the ultimate example of humiliation in the example of Jesus Christ. Jesus willingly laid aside Heaven's glory to come to earth to die for man. Now, Paul continues and states that because He was wiling to humble Himself, God has highly exalted Him. We must exalt the Name of Jesus Christ.

God's Coming Judgment - Habakkuk 1:5-14

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Fri, 30 Dec 2022 14:30:00 +0000

These attributes of God are not contradictory but are perfectly balanced in the character of God. We must all understand all will be judged of God.

The Mind Of Christ - Philippians 2:5-8

Habakkuk's Cry - Habakkuk 1:1-4

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Fri, 23 Dec 2022 14:15:00 +0000

Habakkuk penned the words of this book. It was written to the Southern Kingdom. At this time, the Southern Kingdom was not taken captive, and the Northern Kingdom is already gone. As Habakkuk looked around him, he saw the children of Judah still living in wickedness, and not repenting and turning to God. One would think that Judah would repent and turn to God after seeing the judgment of God on Israel. Yet, they lived as though it could not happen to them. Habakkuk was troubled by the wickedness around him. God has richly blessed us as a nation, as a church, and as individuals. When we see the sin in our lives and the sin of our nation , it should break our hearts and bring us to tears tat we would respond to the grace of God in such a manner. Are your eyes often too dry? We must allow our eyes to affect our hearts.

Perfect Unity - Philippians 2:1-4

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Tue, 20 Dec 2022 15:00:00 +0000

The world is always seeding peace and unity. When the world cries unity, they are seeking acceptance of their wicked lifestyles. When the evangelicals seek unity, they are willing to compromise standards to achieve it. They allow different doctrines to be represented as longa as they all claim to be Christian. They allow CCM so that no one is offended. Christ does want us to have unity but not at the expense of pure doctrine. That is why it is critical that every member of Freedom agrees in doctrine. We must strive to live and work together in perfect harmony.

God's Will For Relocating (Part III)

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Fri, 16 Dec 2022 14:15:00 +0000

We are going to look at several examples and see some bad decisions and some good decisions in moves. We must understand that God has a will for your life even when relocating.

Living As Citizens Of Heaven - Philippians 1:25-30

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Tue, 13 Dec 2022 15:00:00 +0000

An ambassador represents the country that he is from. He is a representative and must act accordingly. In II Corinthians 5:20, God calls us ambassadors. We are not citizens of earth, but of heaven. Ephesians 2:4-6 tells us that we are sitting together in heavenly places. We need to recognize that we are just passing through this life, and that Heaven and eternity with Christ await us. We need to allow Him to live through us now. Our life is not our own, but we are bought with a price. Just as an ambassador has guidelines that he must follow, so do we as ambassadors of heaven. Paul exhorts the Philippians in this passage. We must understand that his world is not our home, but we are citizens of Heaven.

Seven Pointers To The Will Of God - Psalm 32:8

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Fri, 25 Nov 2022 14:00:00 +0000

Why Are You Serving? - Philippians 1:15-18

pastor@freedomforhavelock.org (Freedom Baptist Church) — Tue, 22 Nov 2022 13:30:00 +0000

Example Of God Leading The Servant Of Abraham - Genesis 24

Have you ever thought it would be wonderful to hear the voice of God. Perhaps like Adam and Eve who had the privilege of walking with God in the evening and talking with Him.

While on this side of glory, we will not walk with God in the garden in the cool of the evening, nor will we speak to God as Moses dis, nor will we talk to Jesus, face to face, as Peter, James, and John; but we can still know and hear the voice of God for God has revealed Himself in His Holy Word. We must understand God has spoken and we must heed His voice.

God told Cain that his brother's blood's voice was crying unto Him. We know in the Old Testament God established a sacrificial system that required the shedding of blood which was a picture of Jesus Christ shedding His blood for us.
