Questions/Issues Discussed:

How is it possible that God makes us new creatures when we trust in His son, Jesus Christ?

What is our ministry? Are you fulfilling your ministry?

Is the culture killing the church? What are YOU doing to stop it? Remember: Everyone can do something. It may cost you, but you must stand up for Christ.

Pastor Ed urges parents to get involved in their children’s school. Don’t wait. AND it’s never TOO late. Do it now. “Rise up. Step up. Let people take notice. And be unashamed and unafraid that you are a Christian,” he says.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What does “being in Christ” mean?

What hinders your journey? Are you ever in conflict with yourself – a battle of flesh and the Spirit? Paul was, too, and his words in the book of Romans can help you win that battle. In fact, NONE of the “holy men” in the Bible (or throughout history) have been perfect. Only one perfect man ever walked the earth: Jesus Christ.

Why aren’t those who know Christ condemned? Why isn’t condemnation dependent on our acts of service?

Pastor Ed makes this statement: “We are as free from judgment and condemnation today as Jesus Christ is IF we are in him.”

Charles Spurgeon once stated: “Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength.”

Scripture Passage: Philippians 4:4-7

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Are there areas of our life when we need to see things as gray and not black and white?

Why is it important to follow the leadership of the Lord in ALL things?

Do we all have a purpose given to us by God? How do we know what that purpose is?

When will we have all the answers to all of our questions? Do you try to give others all the right answers? Have you ever failed in this task miserably?

Is the Lord always near to us? Is he always present in our lives? Can we ever escape him? Pastor Ed reminds us of what happened to Jonah when he tried to escape God.

In verse 5, Paul writes: “Do not be anxious for anything.” Is this different that worrying?

How is it dangerous to our health (physically, mentally, and spiritually) to worry and be anxious? More on this tomorrow

Pastor Ed reminds us that too many people are abandoned by people they love, even their own fathers. But GOD your Heavenly Father will never, ever abandon you. He says: “God cannot NOT love you!”

Pastor Ed and his wife have been married for 54 years. Has he been perfect? Has she been perfect? (He says yes lol). Our relationship with God is like a marriage – except WE are imperfect and God is perfect.

Why did God send His son Jesus to die for our sins? Just so we can go to heaven? Or is there more we must know, understand, and do?

Did Paul have a “spiritual gravy train”?

Why did Paul write “stand firm” several times when he wrote about the full armor of God?

Why is Satan called the “Father of Lies”? Why is he often referred to as a roaring lion? Why does he keep trying to stop us from following Christ?

How will God give us strength for the journey?

Can ANYONE bring a charge/accusation against you if you are a Christian? Can Christians be condemned? Do Christians owe a debt?

Death is a reality. Death will happen. Part of life is death. What will the ending of your story be?

What was Paul trying to convey in these verses?

Reverend Manley Beasley once preached a sermon entitled: “Why do Christians have trouble?” The answer: “Because they don’t act right.”

Is grieving Biblical?

Scripture Passage: John 21:15-19

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why was Peter crucified upside down?

Have you ever messed up? I know I have – every day!

Does God hold grudges?

Even after he messed up, Jesus put Peter in charge of leading the Church. Think about that for a minute. If God can reach others through Peter, who can He reach through YOU? Pastor Ed makes this powerful statement: “The commitment of the shepherd will be reflected in the sheep.”

If God loves us unconditionally, why do we still need to repent?

Are you teaching the right doctrine to your kids?

Why does Pastor Ed call Peter “Peter Too Quick”?

What is the responsibility of a pastor/minister of a church? Guess what?! This is YOUR responsibility, too! Every Christian is called to be a shepherd AND a sheep.

Are too many church leaders wishy-washy on the True Gospel? Pastor Ed says this: “Everything else…is secondary other than preaching the truth. That…should be primary in every church across this land. If it were, we might be in a different state than we are right now.” Amen!

Scripture Passage: John 21:15-19

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why did Jesus refer to his people as “sheep”? Guess what! Sheep aren’t dumb. They are actually pretty smart. They are just stubborn! This makes sense now…

Jesus asked Peter: “Do you love me more than these”? What was Jesus referring to? Was he giving Peter a chance for restoration?

Pastor Ed reminds us that new Christians (lambs) look to older Christians (sheep) for advice and guidance. He encourages everyone to either find a lamb or a sheep to be accountable with.

How are you receiving your spiritual nutrition? Are you just relying on the preacher to feed you? Or are you feeding yourself at home, with friends, and in small groups?

Is being a Christian all about teaching and preaching? Or is it also about loving and caring for others?

Do some religions have a “wrong” doctrine?

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why did the Pharisees try to defend their position against the blind man and Jesus?

Why didn’t the Pharisees believe the man was blind? Was he born in sin? Yes. So is everyone else! Did the Pharisees miss this point entirely?

Fellowship is important. So is “followship”. Pastor Ed explains…

Worship is also important. Are you truly worshipping God daily?

Are you praying for your family, friends, church, and community? So many are still blind to the Truth of God’s love. So many need their eyes opened. What will you do today to share God’s love with one person?

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Do too many people refuse to carry the cross they are called to bare?

Do too many people only go to church for Easter Sunday and Christmas celebrations? Pastor Ed says people are too “casual” with Christianity.

Does the Bible promise Christians perfect health, unlimited success, and a fancy house?

Is it our responsibility to carry our cross? Do we all have the same cross to carry? Or are all our crosses different – designed by God?

Athletes continuously train. Should Christians train and prepare like athletes?

Should Christians be preparing for the Last Days NOW? Pastor Ed explains that this doesn’t necessarily mean when Jesus returns; it’s also about OUR last days on earth. He quotes a preacher friend of his: “We all have an expiration date. What are we going to do until we come to that expiration date?”

We all need help and encouragement from time to time. Of course, leaning on God is the first things we should do. But are community support groups important as well?

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why did the Pharisees get so upset when Jesus healed the blind man?

Did the Pharisees think the blind man was lying?

The blind man stood alone. His parents left him. His friends left him. The Pharisees called him a liar. Are YOU willing to stand alone when everyone around you leaves?

Who was really blind: the man or the Pharisees?

Did Jesus still love the Pharisees even though he called them out? Pastor Ed believes that too many people, even Christians, think that love is all we need. No, we need to be bold, pointing out sin and hypocrisy when we see it. He says this: “The truth can be right before you and you miss it…There is a boldness of the saved.”

Why did the Pharisees try to defend their position against the blind man and Jesus?

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Are you afraid to share the Gospel? You are not alone! The important thing is that we are obedient. There are only three responses we will get: yes, no, or leave me alone.

How did Jesus heal the blind man (physically)? Did the mud and water heal him? Or was it his obedience?

Are you living in fear or faith? If you truly believe that God is in charge, you will live in faith!

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What does “iron sharpens iron” mean?

When believers are involved in one another's lives, does mutual edification occur?

Is the statement “two are better than one” true? What is the three-fold chord? Read Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Is fellowship beneficial for humans in general, but all the more so for Christians? Read Matthew 18:19-20

The Corona lockdown has forced many people home on Sundays to watch church online from their couch. Why should Christians go back to church? Read Hebrews 10:25 (this is not a suggestion; it is a command)

Do many Christians lose their zeal for the Lord over the years/decades? Do they become complacent?

We all need encouragement, especially now during this time of COVID, lockdowns, and isolation. How can the words in Revelation offer hope and encouragement? Pastor Ed also references Colossians 1:27.

Scripture Passage: John 4:1-45

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What does “worship” mean?

Pastor Ed urges those who have not been back to church during the last year to go to church this Sunday! Wear a mask. Don’t wear a mask. Social distance. Don’t social distance. Find a church and go! Fellowship with others is so important to our spiritual walk with Christ.

When was the last time you NEEDED Jesus? We should need him 24/7!

Verse 26: “Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he.” Did you know that the original text does not include the word “he”? Pastor Ed explains why…

How many times does Jesus say “I Am” in the New Testament?

Why did the woman leave her water pot at the well when she went back to tell the people about Jesus?

Is your heart and mind occupied with Jesus?

What is God’s anger? How many times is it mentioned in Scripture? What about God’s wrath? What about his love?

Scripture Passage: John 3:1-15

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Is it necessary to ask forgiveness every time you sin?

God doesn’t have to save us from anything. So why does He?

Can you manage your sins on your own? Nope! Pastor Ed shares a personal story from his teenage years…

REMEMBER: Nicodemus was a religious and educated man. He knew the law. Why did he ask Jesus what it meant to be born in the Spirit? Pastor Ed points out that Jesus’ response was actually kind of funny. Listen close…

Scripture Passage: John 3:1-15

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What condition did Jesus give to Nicodemus when he answered “truly, truly I say to you…”?

Where does salvation come from? Does it come from multiple places? Can we obtain salvation in more than one way? Can we work our way into heaven?

REMEMBER: Nicodemus was a religious and educated man. He knew the law. Why did he ask Jesus to clarify “being born again”?

How did Jesus confirm his answer to Nicodemus?

In verse 5 of this passage, Jesus said “Unless one is born of water and the Spirit.” Why does this verse cause so much controversy?

Have too many church leaders embraced the “free love” movement?

Must we test the words of teachers today?

Scripture Passage: Genesis 3

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Is truth denounced in today’s society? Pastor Ed gets a little animated with this…

Are you exchanging/compromising truth for lies?

When we ignore the sin in the world, are we allowing lies to be spread? Pastor Ed says this: “This nation is a floundering a cesspool of sexual perversion. Murdering innocent lives. The church stands silent.” He recommends reading the book, “We Shall Not Be Silenced”.

Pastor Ed Ethridge continues his discussion on The Last Days. Check out our archives on February 3 and February 10 for the first two discussions.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Where was John when he wrote the Book of Revelation? Why was he there?

Does this letter still apply to Christ-followers and Christ’s churches today?

Revelation 3:1 “These are the words of Him who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a name (reputation) that you are alive, but [in reality] you are dead.”

Who is the one with the seven Spirits of God and seven stars?

Do people have enough religion to be convicted but not converted – enough head knowledge, but not heart knowledge?

Was John judging some within the church at Sardis?

Does the Lord use this letter to allow the Holy Spirit to convict the willing heart and mind?

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Does the Holy Spirit feed us, fill us, direct us, guide us, teach us, speak through us, and at times pray for us when we are at a loss for words? Pastor Ed says that the fruit can be as tiny as a raisin, but it’s still fruit!

How can Christians bear fruit? Is it just soul-winning? Or is it more than that?

The last part of Joshua 24:15 is familiar to most of us: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Why should this be the intention and prayer of every Christian?

Why did James say “not many of you should become teachers”? Was this a slap in their faces?

Did you know that the Bible mentions the “tongue” more than 130 times?

The tongue can be used for good or for bad. Which are you choosing?

Tune in tomorrow as Pastor Ethridge dives into the James scripture, explaining “the tongue in teaching”.

Title: Becoming Spiritually Deliberate
Topic: Grandparent: Be Intentionally Spiritual

Discussed by Pastor Ed Ethridge
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 1

God designed grandparents to come along side parents in the spiritual training of children. However, the concept that grandparents play a strategic role in the character and faith development of a grandchild is rare.

Pastor Ed Ethridge wants grandparents and parents alike to imagine what could happen if they came together, becoming more spiritually deliberate with the younger generation.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Has Pastor Ethridge personally witnessed parents and grandparents be positive and deliberate spiritual role models?

Can focusing on one simple scripture passage each week be a starting point? Terry uses Proverbs 13:4 as an example. How can grandparents use this verse as a teachable moment?

How do people know that you are a Christian? Can you PROVE that you are a Christian? Pastor Ed reminds us that being a Christian is an effort; we have to keep trying day after day. “The Word should consume us: mind, body, soul, and spirit,” he says.

Scripture Passage: James 1:19-27

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Yesterday, Pastor Ed discussed the importance of Christians being slow to speak and quick to listen from James 1:19. This verse also addresses anger. Is righteous anger okay?

Why is it important to have a clean heart when we come before God? Is this something God can do for us? Or is this our responsibility?

How does sin hinder our walk with God?

When is the last time you asked God to reveal to you the sin in your life? Yep – that’s right! You might have forgotten or unrealized sin that needs to be repented of. Do it today!

Why should we be humble and meek before the Lord? Will this make our spirit “teachable”? Whether you are 8 or 88 – God wants to teach you!

Scripture Passage: James 1

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What is God’s will for your life?
Are you exercising His will for the good of His Kingdom?
Are you embracing the Truth of God’s Word?

Are you striving for holiness through His Truth?

Pastor Ed continues with this tomorrow…

Bottom Line: Are you glorifying God in ALL you do? Think about your social media posts – your choice of Netflix shows – your car radio dials… Are all those things glorifying God?

Title: Is God Still Blessing America?
Topic: God Bless America

Discussed by Pastor Ed Ethridge
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Part 1 of 2

What does it mean when we say or sing “God Bless America”? Our second US President, John Adams, cautioned: “Our government is wholly inadequate for a people who are not moral and religious.”

Pastor Ed Ethridge guides us through our responsibilities as Christians and God’s obligations to His people.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Can we pass enough laws and/or hire enough enforcers (policemen) to force citizens to obey the law voluntarily?

When we say, “God Bless America”, do we really understand that there is a connection between personal responsibility and faithfulness to God AND the experience of divine blessing?

2 Chronicles 7 ¹⁴"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

Is this what every Christian should be praying daily?

Discussed by Pastor Ed Ethridge

Day 4

This week we get an extra-special treat! On July 7, Pastor Ed Ethridge preached a powerful – and I mean POWERFUL – sermon on the importance of freedom and liberty – not only in our country, but in our spiritual walk.

How does the Bible teach us about freedom and liberty in Jesus? Pastor Ed uses Galatians 5:1 and 13-17 and Hebrews 12:1-3 to help us “Run in Freedom”.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Pastor Ed played softball growing up and into adulthood. He loved it so much, that he was putting it above his walk with the Lord – even as pastor! Listen as he shares this story…

THE BIBLE TELLS US TO: Be encouraged (Heb. 12:2)
What does “lay aside” mean? Pastor Ed shares a story about his work in the oil field. “Being free from the penalty of sin should compel us to run,” he says.

How can unbelief prevent us from running the race?

Why is it so hard to look away from sin and look toward Jesus?

How badly do you want to go to heaven?

Is the devil still active today – seeking whom he can steal, kill, and destroy?

Pastor Ed says this: “The devil is doing a real good job in our world right now without question. The bottom line is this: Can we turn this around? Can we get back to God as a nation? We can! But will we?”

He also asks this question: Is it better to do right or is it wrong to do evil? Thank about it! br />
What will YOU do today to share the Truth of God’s Word to someone? We may not be able to reach everyone, but we can reach one.

Title: Running in Freedom
Topic: Fourth of July Special

Discussed by Pastor Ed Ethridge
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 3

This week we get an extra-special treat! On July 7, Pastor Ed Ethridge preached a powerful – and I mean POWERFUL – sermon on the importance of freedom and liberty – not only in our country, but in our spiritual walk.

How does the Bible teach us about freedom and liberty in Jesus? Pastor Ed uses Galatians 5:1 and 13-17 and Hebrews 12:1-3 to help us “Run in Freedom”.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Pastor Ed continues with John 8:31… Are you still a slave to sin? Let’s change that today! Because God is NEVER pleased when we sin!

THE BIBLE TELLS US TO: Follow the example (Heb. 12:1)

Why do we fail to keep running when we sin or troubles come? Who in the Bible are examples of “runners”? Jeremiah, Isaiah, Elijah, Moses, Jonah, Amos, Obadiah, and on and on…

THE BIBLE TELLS US TO: Be encouraged (Heb. 12:2)

How do you lay aside your fears and doubts? What does “lay aside” mean? Pastor Ed shares a story about his work in the oil field. “Being free from the penalty of sin should compel us to run,” he says.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

THE BIBLE TELLS US TO: Walk by the Spirit (Gal. 5:16)

How is your walk outside of the church walls? Are you the same person? Pastor Ed warns: “Don’t let your flesh be the base of your operation.” Listen as he explains using Martin Luther (not King) as a reference.
Do you battle your flesh daily?
Are you “feeding” the new person in Christ?
If you sin more, do you get more grace? NOPE! That’s not how it works, y’all!

Have you felt disconnected from others during the Coronavirus quarantine? You are not alone! Our circumstances may look different, but we are all still struggling.

On February 20, 2020, we had Pastor Ed Ethridge on to discuss the importance of baptism. We just couldn’t fit all the information into three segments, so he is back today to continue the discussion, focusing on verses from Romans 6.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why Romans chapter 6?

Romans 6: 23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” What does this mean?

Will we take anything with us to heaven? Can we ever be “good enough” to get a free pass into heaven?

In the ESV for Romans 6, there is this chapter heading: Dead to Sin, Alive to God. Verse 1 reads: “What shall we say then?” Question: Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?

Once a person has accepted Christ as Savior and Lord, will he/she live the rest of their life without sinning? Pastor Ed has a saying he likes: “If you want to live above sin, live above a pool hall!” Isn’t that the truth?

In Romans 6:4b, Paul says: “We too might walk in the newness of life.”

As a baby learns to walk, he will fall many times. Are we all like babies, learning how to be Christians – falling over and over again? Pastor Ed uses the beginning of Romans 6:4 to explain…

Did Paul automatically stop sinning when he became a Christian?

Churches are simply big families. It is a collection of people who do life together. This is why it can be so painful when someone decides to leave.

However, figuring out how to learn and grow as an organization and accept natural member movement can liberate how you mentally process learning that a member has left your church.

Pastor Ed Ethridge discusses “5 Things to Do When Members Leave Your Church” on today’s program.

NOTE: The original article on this topic can be found here.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

#1 Find Out Why

Sometimes people get transferred to another city. Sometimes people get their feelings hurt over a disagreement with another church member. Sometimes people just skip church for a few weeks and then they simply stop coming. Why is it important to find out why people leave your church?

On another note: If a church member is hospitalized, why is it important for their spouse or family member to let the church know? Are hospital visits still important? Pastor Ed says “YES!”

#3 Trust God

Do some people simply leave a church because God is directing them on another path? Why is it important for the pastor and/or church leadership not to get offended by this?

#4 Be Thankful

Sometimes a church member complains a lot – about everything. Is it right to be thankful that they left? Pastor Ed doesn’t believe this is the right approach. Listen as he explains using 1 John 2:19.

#5 Reach Out

Some church leaders are fearful to discover why people leave their church. Don’t be afraid! As stated above, lessons can be learned and will help your church grow stronger for the Lord!

What does “If We Know, We Go” mean? Why is this the theme of the Pastoral Care unit at CFBC?

Does CFBC send pastors to every single Houston area hospital every day – even on the weekend?

Shifting Gears….

Many people attend a church service every Sunday, but don’t belong to a “small group”. Why are small groups important?

Title: Part 2 of 2 - If We Know, We Go.
Topic: Christianity: Connecting With Other Christians

Discussed by Pastor Ed Ethridge
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Who is The Church? Is The Church just the pastors/leaders? Is it ‘just’ inside the four walls of a building?

Did Jesus command us to “go into all the world and make disciples”? Is this still our responsibility today?

How can we be the hands and feet of Jesus to everyone we meet – even at church?

““How are you today” is a common greeting. Should we rethink this question? Should we be prepared for a more in-depth answer/conversation?

In contrast, should we start being honest with others when they ask us this question?

Why should we make an effort to get to know our neighbors?

Do you have friends – a best friend? If not – first, be friendly yourself – is will become contagious!

Title: Is Hell Empty?
Topic: Is Hell Empty?

Discussed by Pastor Ed Ethridge
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Luke 19:10 “For the Son of Man came to seek and save the lost.”

Pastor Ed Ethridge continues with the conversation about a recent statement made by an elected Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Bishop: “Hell is empty and we should have no concern about our eternal fate.”

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Who is the Son of Man? Who was Jesus seeking? What does Jesus save us from?

In Luke 19:10, what does “lost” mean? What are we separated from?

Is hell empty? Pastor Ed asks this in response: “Why would there be a hell for no reason?”

Does it take faith to believe in heaven and hell?

What does faith encompass?

Can someone be saved without a complete understanding what it means?

When someone confesses their sins and accepts Jesus Christ as their Savior, are they “saved forever”?

If you have questions about heaven, hell, and faith in Christ, please call Champion Forest Baptist Church to speak with a pastor or licensed counselor. The phone number is 281.440.3800.

Do you battle your flesh daily?
Are you “feeding” the new person in Christ?
If you sin more, do you get more grace? NOPE! That’s not how it works, y’all!

Questions/Issues Discussed:

The Apostles Creed:

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, nd in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the Forgiveness of sins, the Resurrection of the body, and the Life everlasting. Amen.

Should Christians base their theology on The Apostles Creed? Or the Bible?

Can The Apostles Creed be a great tool to share the Gospel, though?

Why should we keep praying for those who are not saved – no matter who – no matter what?

Why did Jesus come to earth to live as a man and die for our sins? Will ALL accept his sacrifice and believe?

Title: Kids Missing Heaven. Who’s Fault?
Topic: Grandparent: Be Intentionally Spiritual

Discussed by Pastor Ed Ethridge
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Part 1 of 2

The sad truth: Recent research from Barna’s demonstrates that the world in which this next generation is coming of age is one that stands apart from that of their parents and grandparents. The post-truth world they inhabit no longer shares the same moral principles or societal values, leading to a more relativistic worldview among teens and a growing religious apathy.

The problem: Christianity today has less influence on Gen Z than on any previous generation.

Pastor Ed Ethridge will be discussing the important influence both parents AND grandparents have on the next generation. Pastor Ethridge is the Associate Pastor of Pastoral Care at Champion Forest Baptist Church.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Do our children and grandchildren face spiritual battles that we never faced? Pastor Ed believes the increase of peer pressure is one example…

Are Christian parents eager for their children and grandchildren to develop a lasting faith in Jesus as the Son of God?

OR are Christian parents more concerned with their kids getting good grades and excelling in extracurricular activities?

Who is responsible for the spiritual formation, nurturing, development, cultivation, promotion, and development of children? Teachers? The church? Friends? Television and movies? Or are YOU – the parent or grandparent – responsible?

What role does the Church have in partnering with parents and grandparents?

Are public schools spiritually dangerous places for Christian students? This is a loaded question with a loaded answer! Listen in!

Day 5

During the Biblical Literacy lesson this week, Pastor Ed Ethridge reminds us of the “Attributes of God”. Pastor Ed is the Pastor of Pastoral Care at the Cypress Creek Campus of Champion Forest Baptist Church.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

All week long, Pastor Ed Ethridge has been reminding us of the attributes of God: He is Eternal. He is Infinite. He is immutable. He is dependable.

There is one final attribute that Pastor Ed discusses today: God was absolute in Creation. Psalm 111:7-8

How many Americans believe “religion” is important? How many of those people reject moral absolutes?

Pastor Ed Ethridge says this: “God does not offer theories. He offers absolute truth. And truth is absolute.” You can trust God!

When is the last time you said – out loud for someone to hear you: “Praise the Lord”?

Questions/Issues Discussed:

While God never changes, His creation does. These are the only two constants in the world. Listen as Pastor Ed Ethridge expands on this thought…

Why does Pastor Ed believe studying the Bible is essential to the Christian life? He says Proverbs is a great place to start.

Will God change His mind about His plan for you?

Can you depend on God? Pastor Ed uses Proverbs 3:5-6 and Deuteronomy 31:8 as two examples.

Will God provide everything you need to further His Kingdom?

“The Lord did not call any of us out to salvation just to sit and soak and sour,” Pastor Ed says. “He called us to be obedient children.”

When you are going through difficult times, do you ever feel abandoned by God? Pastor Ed explains that He has not abandoned you; He is simply allowing you to lean more on Him.

James 1:17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.”

But, what does exist mean? Pastor Ethridge uses Psalm 29:10 as one example…

E.V. Hill, Zion Hill Missionary Baptist Church, Watts, California, once stated: “God is the uncause cause causing causes.” Listen as Pastor Ed explains….

How many times is the word “eternal” used in Scripture?

How did Pastor Ed come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ? When did he know God had called him to be a pastor?

Day 5

We are all part of the family of God. Does God want us to just survive in His family? Or does He want us to thrive?

This week, Pastor Ed Ethridge will be presenting the sermon from the “Made to Thrive” series at Champion Forest Baptist Church. Pastor Ethridge is a retired minister on staff at CFBC as the Associate Pastor of Pastoral Care. He is friend and mentor to many, but his favorite “job” is being a grandfather!

We hope you enjoy the sermon this week, “Thriving as Legacy Builders”, as Pastor Ethridge discusses why it is important for EVERYONE to be LOYAL, be an EXAMPLE, be TRANSFORMED, and be PRESENT in the lives of the generations coming behind us.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

It’s never too early or too late to pour into the lives of your children or grandchildren! Start today! Even babies can understand the love of Jesus!

THRIVING AS LEGACY BUILDERS: 4. Be Present:
Paul invested in Timothy’s life, just as Lois invested in Eunice’s life. “Mentoring is worth something!” Proverbs 27:17 Mentoring is Worth: The Time. The Energy. The Cost.

What are Pastor Ed Ethridge’s two life verses?

What does Pastor Ed mean when he says: “Are you shaded by what you plant?”

Pastor David Fleming encourages you to visit Champion Forest Baptist Church in NW Houston this Sunday! CFBC has Life Groups classes (Sunday School) for all ages and walks of life, including Mark Lanier’s Biblical Literacy Class, as well as several service times and locations to choose from.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Will your grandchildren remember who you are – or will they remember WHOSE you are?

Have you ever admitted being wrong in front of your grandchildren? It’s good to know that you’re human, too!

Are you a FAT Christian? Faithful. Available. Teachable.

THRIVING AS LEGACY BUILDERS: 3. Be Transformed:
Timothy was changed because of the faith of Lois and Eunice. They protected him, provided for him, and prepared him. Pastor Ethridge reminds us of the story of Moses. What was the purpose of the tar and pitch in the basket? Do you trust that God always knows the plan before you do? (2 Timothy 3:10, 14-15)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Are you pouring into the lives of the generations coming behind you? If we don’t, we won’t have a church!

THRIVING AS LEGACY BUILDERS:
2. Be an Example: Lois was an example to Eunice. She lived out her faith and taught Eunice to do the same. Proverbs 4:10-15… It’s sound cliché, but Pastor Ethridge reminds us to “walk the walk AND talk the talk”. Will your grandchildren remember who you are – or will they remember WHOSE you are?

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why is it so important for grandparents to be involved in their grandchildren’s life? Should they also take an interest in their grandchildren’s friend’s lives?

What is a “Baptist-costal spell”?

Did you know that 2 Timothy 1:5 is the only reference in Scripture to the word “grandmother”? Her name was Lois and she was quite a woman!

THRIVING AS LEGACY BUILDERS:
1. Be Loyal: Lois was not hypocritical. She believed the Gospel. She received the Gospel. She lived the Gospel. “You’re either moving forward or moving back. There is no standing still,” Pastor Ethridge says. “We’ve all cooled off at times…but we must come back to the truth.”

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Pastor Ethridge begins the sermon by giving a little background on his life… It’s a touching story about abandonment, adoption, and love…

Next, Pastor Ethridge introduces two men and three of his granddaughters to the congregation to explain why it’s important for the “older” generation to be involved in teenager’s lives.

Proverbs 13:22 “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the sinner's wealth is laid up for the righteous.” If all you leave your family is wealth, you have short-changed them.

What is a “Baptist-costal spell”? Tune in tomorrow to find out!
