Loving God His Word and His People

This final message examines how the author of Psalm 40 fulfills love for God, his word and his people by speaking God’s truth to all the people. This is the final message in the core values series. We encourage all church members and visitors who want to do ministry with us at UBC to listen to this series.

The Return of Christ: The Foundation of Our Hope

Paul had a message for the Thessalonian church: All their past hope, present hope, and future hope are in Christ alone. But this great hope is not for them only but for us too. The hope they have in Jesus Christ is the same hope we have today: That one day he will return for us. He has not forgotten us.

We apologize for the absence of an audio file for this sermon.

Evangelism to the Lost

A day is coming in which the Lord will return for his people. At that time we will celebrate with those who have received the truth or we will be discovered in our shameful silence. Remember, Christ has given us power and authority in His commission.

Prayer for One Another

The purpose of prayer is to submit our whole being to the mind and will of God. Pray for/with a different person each day for the next week that they would be: Refreshed in the spirit, full of Joy, filled with wisdom of God's will and spiritual understanding, able to withstand the attacks of the enemy, resist sin walking in the Spirit, and never alone in their spiritual battle.

Support of World-Wide Missions: Sending in a Manner Worthy of God

The goal of missions is to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for His name’s sake. Therefore, we are to send missionaries in a manner worthy of God because they go out “for his name's sake”.

Supporting mission work in Uijongbu Baptist Church must not be done in a shoddy haphazard way. Rather, it must be done in a way that is worthy of God, lifting high his very name.

A Walk Pleasing to the Lord: The Labor of Gospel Transformation

The Gospel is the Good News of Jesus Christ, who he is and what he has done. By the Gospel, God the Trinity begins to create new life in believers while bringing them into the loving community of God. New Covenant Life and Community Transformation are the Work of the Trinity.

Outreach to Community: Establishing the Rule of God

The goal of outreach is not to make new friends, feed the hungry, or give to the poor, but to destroy altars, strongholds, and false gods. The goal of outreach is to establish the rule of God in the hearts of the people of the land and make his grace and mercies known. Can we do this by ministering to the hungry, the poor and the homeless? Yes, of course we can, but let’s not make the fatal error of that being the goal. Our outreach must seek the pulling down of strongholds (II Corinthians 10:4).

Growth Through Discipleship: A Gospel Love Response

Discipleship serves several purposes. It perfects us in doctrine and prepares us for ministry. It establishes our faith so that we are unshakable, able to withstand even the worst life can throw at us; but it is also a work of community. Discipleship brings peace to community when it is established and built up on the doctrines of Christ.

Perseverance: The Test of True Faith

Trials, temptations, and afflictions bring to life in us what we really believe. It’s at those hopeless times in our life that our faith in Christ will shine or the true desires of our heart will emerge.

Paul was discouraged because he had to leave his work in Thessolonica so suddenly. He feared those who received the message would fall away from the faith because they suffered such great persecution. However, what he found is that their faith was strong and active and growing.

The Gospel Love Response

The Scriptures state that as our understanding of God’s miraculous grace unfolds in our hearts and minds a Greater/Deeper Spiritual love for the Savior will take hold of our hearts. That directing and controlling love will guide us into our love response to the Gospel. We serve God because of the magnificence of who he is and what he has done, not out of guilty obligation.
