Sunday December 15, 2024 at the Hub City Church
How to Have a Fulfilling Christmas | Luke 1:46:55
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor
Sermon Notes:
The most important means of CELEBRATING ‘Christmas’ is NOT giving GIFTS to ONE ANOTHER; it is attempting to EXPRESS our awe and humble GRATITUDE for GOD'S inexpressible GIFT, through SINGING.
1. Singing EXISTS because some REALITIES are too WONDERFUL for God-CONSCIOUS beings to KNOW and merely TALK about.
Genesis 2:23 // Exodus 15:1-2 // 1 Samuel 2:1 // Romans 11:33-36
2. Because Christians know God, there are ENDLESS OPPORTUNITIES to SING about His glorious CHARACTER and WORKS.
Psalm 47:6-7, 66:2, 147:1
3. Upon HEARING the NEWS of God’s merciful PROVISION of the promised SAVIOR, Mary and the multitude of ANGELS alike burst forth in SONG. WE should too!
Luke 2:10-14 // Luke 2:28-32 // Colossians 3:16
“Christian singing is the musical use of the voice to express truth that accords with God’s word, and feelings that accord with God’s worth. It is a gift beyond measuring." — John Piper

4: FINANCES | 2 Corinthians 8:1-9
The 5 F's of a Fulfilling Marriage
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor
Sermon Notes:
“Why did Jesus put such an emphasis on money and possessions? Because there’s a fundamental connection between our spiritual lives and how we think about and handle money. We may try to divorce our faith and our finances, but God sees them as inseparable.” — Randy Alcorn
“There are three conversions: the conversion of the heart, mind and purse.” — Martin Luther
Christian married couples ASSESS their FINANCIAL RESOURCES in light of the GOSPEL so that they might STEWARD them for KINGDOM ADVANCEMENT!

1. SET Financial PRIORITIES TOGETHER.
- Matthew 6:33

3. GUARD AGAINST Financial IDOLATRY.
- Matthew 6:19-24 // 1 Timothy 6:17-19
4. CELEBRATE God’s PROVISION.

Sunday December 1, 2024 at the Hub City Church
3: FORGIVENESS | Matthew 18:21-35
The 5 F's of a Fulfilling Marriage
Sermon by Jason Koh | Elder
Sermon Notes:
Main Text // Matthew 18:21-35
Considerations for Conflict and Forgiveness
1. Is it a matter of SIN?
Romans 3:20 // Proverbs 19:11 Proverbs 17:9
2. Always ASSUME the BEST of one another.
1 Corinthians 13:7
3. QUICKLY and GENTLY confront the issue for the purpose of RECONCILIATION.
Galatians 6:1 // Ephesians 4:30-32
”When either husband or wife is fallen into any sin, a mutual duty it is for the other to use what redress may be of that sin; as if one of them were wounded, the other must take care for the healing of that wound.” – William Gouge
4. MEDITATE on the GOSPEL and FORGIVE as Jesus FORGIVES.
“A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers.” – Ruth Bell Graham
Colossians 2:13-14 // Colossians 3:12-14 // Ephesians 6:12
Other Considerations on Forgiveness:
Forgiveness is not EXCUSING SIN.
Forgiveness is not FORGETTING.
Forgiveness is purposed to DISPLAY the GOSPEL for the GLORY of GOD.

The 5 F's of a Fulfilling Marriage | 2: FRIENDSHIP | Ephesians 5:21-33

Sunday November 24, 2024 at the Hub City Church
2: FRIENDSHIP | Ephesians 5:21-33
The 5 F's of a Fulfilling Marriage
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor
Sermon Notes:
Genesis 2:19-25
Marriage is designed to PRIMARILY be a FRIENDSHIP, with sexual INTIMACY as a SUBSEQUENT feature NOT primarily a sexual relationship with friendship as an OPTIONAL ADDITION.
Tim Keller’s 4 Aspects of Marital Friendship:
1. CONSTANCY - RELIABILITY
Proverbs 17:17 // Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
2. CANDOR - TRANSPARENCY
Ephesians 4:15 // Proverbs 27:6, 9, 17
3. COMPANIONSHIP - DISCOVERY (‘Fun’)
Ecclesiastes 9:9 // Proverbs 5:18-19 // Song of Solomon 2:10,14,16
4. COMMON VISION - CHRISTIANITY
2 Corinthians 6:14 // Philippians 1:27
“The picture that the Bible draws of spiritual friendship is remarkable. Christian friendship is not simply about going to concerts together or enjoying the same sporting event. It is the deep oneness that develops as two people journey together toward the same destination, helping one another through the dangers and challenges along the way.” — Tim Keller

The 5 F's of a Fulfilling Marriage | 1: FAITH | Ephesians 5:21-33

Sunday November 17, 2024 at the Hub City Church
 
1: FAITH | Ephesians 5:21-33
 
The 5 F's of a Fulfilling Marriage
 
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor
 
Sermon Notes:
 
"The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.” — Tim Keller
 
The most critical contribution to a fulfilling marriage is to find ULTIMATE FULFILLMENT in your FAITH, NOT in your MARRIAGE.
 
How FAITH Functions in Good and Godly Marriages:
 
1. God DESIGNED marriage as the FUNDAMENTAL building block of human SOCIETY and a profound REFLECTION of the GOSPEL.
 
To acknowledge God as God and then seek to live as He has prescribed is an act of FAITH!
 
Matthew 19:4-6 // Genesis 2:24 // Ephesians 5:31-32
 
2. Marriage is a LIFELONG COVENANT relationship that will entail A LOT of SINNING and SUFFERING.
 
It requires FAITH to admit and endure this!
 
1 Peter 3:1-2, 7 // 1 Corinthians 13:7
 
3. The main PRACTICAL use of marriage is TEMPORARY: COMPANIONSHIP in a life of SANCTIFICATION and MISSION on our way to the marriage SUPPER of the LAMB.
 
Only FAITH can hear this and be filled with unshakable joy!
 
Matthew 22:30 // Revelation 19:6-9

Sermon by David Snelling | Deacon
 
Sermon Notes:
 
Psalm 119:105
 
“Do you know that if at birth I had been able to make one petition, it would have been that I was born blind? Because when I get to heaven, the first face that shall ever gladden my sight will be that of my Savior.'" - Fanny Crosby
 
Matthew 7:13-14
 
Gods Word is the MAP, the GUIDE, the LIGHT to Christian life and Christian faith
 
John 4:23-24 // John 17:17
 
According to the Word: God GRACIOUSLY PURSUES lost sinners to call them His OWN.
 
Luke 15:1-4 // Ezekiel 34:11
 
According to the Word: it is a REAL RELATIONSHIP with God that determines our FUTURE with God.
 
John 14:15 // 1 John 5:3 // Matthew 7:21-23
 
The PURSUIT of Christ is the ESSENCE of the Christian life: to KNOW Him more, to LOVE Him deeper, and TRUST Him fully.
 
Psalm 119:2 // Hebrews 11:6 // Hebrews 12:1-2
 
“To seek Christ does not narrow ones life, rather it brings it to the level of highest possible fulfillment.” A.W Tozer

We Know How the Story Ends | Daniel 10-12 | Faithfulness in Babylon

We Know How the Story Ends | Daniel 10-12
 
Daniel: Faithfulness in Babylon
 
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor
 
Sermon Notes:
 
“Daniel concludes the record of his terrifying visions and dreams on a note of joy, pointing to the coming of Christ’s eternal reign of glory... Whoever wants to study them profitably dare not focus his attention on the details of the visions and dreams, but seek comfort in the Savior Jesus Christ whom they portray and in the deliverance he brings from sin and its misery.” — Martin Luther
(10:1-21)
Those who are in Christ are not only LIVING in but PARTICIPATING in a largely UNSEEN SPIRITUAL WAR that we are unable to ENDURE without the divine EMPOWERMENT of the God who loves us.
 
Ephesians 6:10-20
 
(11:32-36)
A great CONSOLATION to believers in the midst of TRIBULATION is two-fold: It will unwittingly AID their SANCTIFICATION and it will go NO FURTHER than God ALLOWS.
 
Job 1:6-12 // Genesis 50:20
 
(12:1-13)
The concluding implication of Daniel is this: Live to SHINE for CHRIST like you have NOTHING to LOSE in this world because in the END, you WON'T!
 
Philippians 1:21-23 // Galatians 2:20

Daniel: Faithfulness in Babylon
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor

As believers, we are called to REMAIN faithfully OBEDIENT in our RESPONSIBILITIES even when God’s PLANS seem UNCLEAR or CONFUSING to us.
Proverbs 3:5-6 // Matthew 9:36-38 // Acts 28:30-31
Like Daniel, our spiritual GROWTH and UNDERSTANDING of God’s will DEEPEN as we CONSISTENTLY SEEK Him through His WORD and DESPERATE PRAYER.
2 Chronicles 20:12 // Matthew 6:9-13 // Proverbs 16:20 // Psalm 19:7-8
God HEARS and RESPONDS to the PRAYERS of His people out of His great LOVE for us, providing HOPE and DIRECTION when we call on Him.
James 5:13-18
As partakers of the New COVENANT, we have the PRIVILEGE of LIVING with the CERTAINTY of Christ’s FINISHED WORK of redemption that we know is bringing an ultimate end to SIN, DEATH and the DEVIL!

Weird, Scary Stuff is Coming | Daniel 7:1-28 | Faithfulness in Babylon

Sunday October 13, 2024 at the Hub City Church
Weird, Scary Stuff is Coming | Daniel 7:1-28
Daniel: Faithfulness in Babylon
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor
Sermon Notes
Biblical APOCALYPTIC prophecy is more about theological COMFORT and spiritual PREPAREDNESS than chronological CERTAINTY.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 // Acts 1:6-8
Over and ABOVE all of the EVIL powers at work in human history, we have a SOVEREIGN GOD who is in CONTROL and who will bring perfect JUDGEMENT to pass.
Revelation 11:15-18 // 2 Thessalonians 1:4-10
“To say that God is sovereign is to declare that He is the Almighty, the Possessor of all power in heaven and earth, so that none can defeat His counsels, thwart His purpose, or resist His will.” — A.W. Pink
There will come a day when the world’s satanic REBELLION against God will CULMINATE into a CRISIS point for God’s people; the most powerful rulers of the world will WAGE WAR against the church - but then JESUS shows up to SAVE them by decisively ENDING the war and to set up His ETERNAL Kingdom.
