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…

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!

Title: DEVOTED OR DISTRACTED: FREEDOM TO SAY IT OUT LOUD
Topic: Fourth of July Special

Discussed by Pastor David Fleming
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 5

Pastor David Fleming has been the senior pastor of Champion Forest Baptist Church since 2006. His passion is to preach God's word in a way that will disciple, equip, build, and lead the Body of Christ, so they can reach and win the lost for Jesus Christ. David and his wife, Beverly, have three children, Jonathon, Hannah, and Rebekah.

This week’s sermon is from June 29, entitled “Freedom to Say it Out Loud”, which focused on Acts 4: 13-22.

(NOTE: The sermon theme for this week is relevant to the July 4th holiday, but we should heed Pastor Fleming’s words all the time, in everything we do.)

Pastor Fleming shares the fifth and final expectation today: Tell them about Jesus.

The right thing to do is not always the easiest, fastest, or even the politically correct thing. It may be the thing that costs you the most. When government puts us in that awkward position, that is when we must boldly stand up for what it right.

Our biblical convictions are not for sale for tax exempt status!

The apostles were willing to share to others the reason why they were being persecuted. They did not lie. They did not beat around the bush. They were up front and honest to everyone who inquired.

Our mission is not to convert people to our way of “politically thinking”. Our mission is to win souls. Once they are saved, God will change their way of thinking.

Food for Thought: Don’t miss the mission while you are waiting for the final trip.

If you have not surrendered your life to Christ, and would like more information about how to become a Christian, please call Champion Forest Baptist Church. They would be more than willing to pray with you. Call (281) 440-3800.

If you do not have a church home, consider visiting Champion Forest. They offer both English and Spanish services on Sunday morning and throughout the week. Visit their website www.ChampionForest.org  for more information.

(NOTE: The sermon theme for this week is relevant to the July 4th holiday, but we should heed Pastor Fleming’s words all the time, in everything we do.)

Is there anything more valuable than your faith? Is your silence for sale?

Pastor Fleming says we cannot afford to be a silent witness in today’s society. Jesus did not say “Be my witness whenever you want to. Or wherever you feel safe and it’s not too hot outside. Or where there is running water and electricity.” Jesus said “Go unto all the world and preach the Gospel so that others might be saved.”  

Pastor Fleming says one area that we should not compromise our Christian belief is in politics. Yes, Politics! A preacher preaching about politics from the pulpit on a Sunday morning! Oh how the tongues must be waggin’!  

The signers of the Constitution were being civilly disobedient against the laws of men. And that’s okay because they were following the law of God, not the laws of men. But is it wise to disobey the laws of men NOW when they against our moral, Christian values?  

If you have not surrendered your life to Christ, and would like more information about how to become a Christian, please call Champion Forest Baptist Church. They would be more than willing to pray with you. Call (281) 440-3800.

Pastor Fleming refuses to NOT preach in the name of Jesus. If you tell him he cannot pray “In Jesus Name”, he will say “No thanks!”

The world wants us to be silent about the name of Jesus. The devil does not want the name of Jesus to be mentioned. He knows the power of the name of Jesus.

You have nothing to offer, nothing to give, if you don’t say the name of Jesus.

Listen in as Pastor Fleming gives the next two points in his sermon on freedom and opposition: 1) living a credible Christian life and 2) why it is important to know what you believe.

If you have not surrendered your life to Christ, and would like more information about how to become a Christian, please call Champion Forest Baptist Church. They would be more than willing to pray with you. Call (281) 440-3800.

(NOTE: The sermon theme for this week is relevant to the July 4th holiday, but we should heed Pastor Fleming’s words all the time, in everything we do.)

When Christians are told they must do things that go against their moral values – Biblical values – it opens a floodgate that is difficult to close. The more we stand up and fight for what is right, the more opposition we will face. This is not a new thing to Christians. This has happened since the dawn of time.

So how do we face this opposition without turning people away? How do we explain our position in a loving and kind manner? After all, we are called to win souls for the Kingdom, not push them away.  

Listen in as Pastor Fleming gives the first of five ways to handle opposition.

If you have not surrendered your life to Christ, and would like more information about how to become a Christian, please call Champion Forest Baptist Church. They would be more than willing to pray with you. Call (281) 440-3800.

Are you grateful for your freedom in America? Do you celebrate Independence Day with picnics and fireworks? Do you spend time reflecting on the true meaning of the holiday?

When Peter and John preached the gospel, miracles happened. Every single time. After they healed the lame man, they were arrested. Pastor Fleming emphasizes a specific word in the Scripture: boldness. Peter and John were “bold” in their proclamation.

Christians across the world are being persecuted for their faith. They are standing boldly in their faith, but they do not have the support from their government. Here in America, we currently have the freedom to worship the way we want. Pastor Fleming warns that these religious freedoms are slowly, but surely, being stripped away from us.

Stand boldly with the Scripture and fight for what is right!

You have nothing to offer, nothing to give, if you don’t say the name of Jesus.

Listen in as Pastor Fleming gives the next two points in his sermon on freedom and opposition: 1) living a credible Christian life and 2) why it is important to know what you believe.

If you have not surrendered your life to Christ, and would like more information about how to become a Christian, please call Champion Forest Baptist Church. They would be more than willing to pray with you. Call (281) 440-3800.

If you do not have a church home, consider visiting Champion Forest. They offer both English and Spanish services on Sunday morning and throughout the week. Visit their website www.ChampionForest.org  for more information.

Title: DEVOTED OR DISTRACTED: FREEDOM TO SAY IT OUT LOUD
Topic: Fourth of July Special

Discussed by Pastor David Fleming
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 2

Pastor David Fleming has been the senior pastor of Champion Forest Baptist Church since 2006. His passion is to preach God's word in a way that will disciple, equip, build, and lead the Body of Christ, so they can reach and win the lost for Jesus Christ. David and his wife, Beverly, have three children, Jonathon, Hannah, and Rebekah.

This week’s sermon is from June 29, entitled “Freedom to Say it Out Loud”, which focused on Acts 4: 13-22.

(NOTE: The sermon theme for this week is relevant to the July 4th holiday, but we should heed Pastor Fleming’s words all the time, in everything we do.)

When Christians are told they must do things that go against their moral values – Biblical values – it opens a floodgate that is difficult to close. The more we stand up and fight for what is right, the more opposition we will face. This is not a new thing to Christians. This has happened since the dawn of time.

So how do we face this opposition without turning people away? How do we explain our position in a loving and kind manner? After all, we are called to win souls for the Kingdom, not push them away.  

Listen in as Pastor Fleming gives the first of five ways to handle opposition.

If you have not surrendered your life to Christ, and would like more information about how to become a Christian, please call Champion Forest Baptist Church. They would be more than willing to pray with you. Call (281) 440-3800.

Title: Devoted or Distracted - Freedom to Say it Out Loud

Are you grateful for your freedom in America? Do you celebrate Independence Day with picnics and fireworks? Do you spend time reflecting on the true meaning of the holiday?

When Peter and John preached the gospel, miracles happened. Every single time. After they healed the lame man, they were arrested. Pastor Fleming emphasizes a specific word in the Scripture: boldness. Peter and John were “bold” in their proclamation.

Christians across the world are being persecuted for their faith. They are standing boldly in their faith, but they do not have the support from their government. Here in America, we currently have the freedom to worship the way we want. Pastor Fleming warns that these religious freedoms are slowly, but surely, being stripped away from us.

Stand boldly with the Scripture and fight for what is right!

Pastor David Fleming has been the senior pastor of Champion Forest Baptist Church since 2006. His passion is to preach God's word in a way that will disciple, equip, build, and lead the Body of Christ, so they can reach and win the lost for Jesus Christ.

(NOTE: The sermon theme for this week is relevant to the July 4th holiday, but we should heed Pastor Fleming’s words all the time, in everything we do.)

Pastor Fleming shares the fifth and final expectation today: Tell them about Jesus.

The right thing to do is not always the easiest, fastest, or even the politically correct thing. It may be the thing that costs you the most. When government puts us in that awkward position, that is when we must boldly stand up for what it right.

Our biblical convictions are not for sale for tax exempt status!

The apostles were willing to share to others the reason why they were being persecuted. They did not lie. They did not beat around the bush. They were up front and honest to everyone who inquired.

Our mission is not to convert people to our way of “politically thinking”. Our mission is to win souls. Once they are saved, God will change their way of thinking.

Food for Thought: Don’t miss the mission while you are waiting for the final trip.

Is there anything more valuable than your faith? Is your silence for sale?

Pastor Fleming says we cannot afford to be a silent witness in today’s society. Jesus did not say “Be my witness whenever you want to. Or wherever you feel safe and it’s not too hot outside. Or where there is running water and electricity.” Jesus said “Go unto all the world and preach the Gospel so that others might be saved.”  

Pastor Fleming says one area that we should not compromise our Christian belief is in politics. Yes, Politics! A preacher preaching about politics from the pulpit on a Sunday morning! Oh how the tongues must be waggin’!  

The signers of the Constitution were being civilly disobedient against the laws of men. And that’s okay because they were following the law of God, not the laws of men. But is it wise to disobey the laws of men NOW when they against our moral, Christian values?
