Position in Christ

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 14:38:49 +0000

1 Peter 2:9

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

Water to Wine

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 14:53:52 +0000

It wasn’t about water, and it wasn’t about wine; it was about Jesus’ ability to give life, and life more abundantly.

The Choice to Follow

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 14:51:23 +0000

The four fishermen were busy at work when Jesus called them. He did not say, Follow Me when it’s convenient.” He said, “Follow Me.” And they did.

Facing Temptation

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 15 Feb 2026 23:08:34 +0000

Jesus was tempted in every way, even as we are, yet He did not sin. This could make Him contemptuous of us, but instead, He has compassion, as One who understands what we are going through.

Baptizing Jesus

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 14:55:29 +0000

John said, “No, I should be baptized by You!” Jesus replied, “This is to fulfill all righteousness.” We’ll explore this exchange and see what we can learn from it.

It's All About Jesus

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 15:26:07 +0000

Today, we begin a tour through all four Gospels with an introduction to Jesus. All four let us know He is the One we’ve been waiting for.

Youth Leadership Testimony Sunday

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 15:12:04 +0000

Some of our teens will tell about their experiences with God and what He is doing in their lives.

Giving Back to God

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 14:41:57 +0000

David, as is obvious from this passage, had tremendous wealth. Now, as he is preparing to die, having taken care of his family, gives most of it back to God.

Beauty From Ashes

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 11 Jan 2026 23:21:54 +0000

In pride, David calls for a census, which brings God’s judgment and great suffering. But the final outcome is that David gains and dedicated the hill that we now call the Temple Mount.

Placing God's People First

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 15:10:20 +0000

David’s struggle is between his love for his son and his faithfulness to God and His people. In the end, he chooses God.

Only Begotten Son

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 01:26:06 +0000

This is all about who Jesus is, Son of God, Son of man, the hope of all mankind

Compelled by Love

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 16:01:30 +0000

God’s love required Him to be up close and personal. It was a power that compelled Him to send Jesus to this world.

He Is Coming

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 14:59:07 +0000

Pastor John Doyle teaches on Isaiah 40:3, prophecying the coming of the Messiah.

Friends, Enemies, and Mysteries

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 16:15:13 +0000

David is God’s anointed, yet many, even of his supposed allies, are rising against him. At the same time, we find some unexpected allies. And then there are those you just can’t figure out whose side they’re on. When times are hard, that is when God’s people have a chance to shine.

Give Thanks to the Lord, for He is Good

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 14:27:01 +0000

Our faithfulness might move like the waves of the sea, but God’s love endures forever.

Repentance

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 15:31:33 +0000

The repentant sinner does not make light of his guilt, or take forgiveness for granted. He seeks restoration from God as one who is not worthy of what he seeks.

David's Marriage Mess

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 15:39:27 +0000

The story of David and Bathsheba is the worst we see of David. But it is only part of the dismal story of David, his wives, and his children. This week, learning from David’s family collapse, about the importance of a faithful husband and father.

Mercy and More

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 03 Nov 2025 15:18:01 +0000

Where many kings would see a threat, David found an opportunity to show kindness.

God's Promise to Bless

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 20 Oct 2025 13:53:27 +0000

David and the Ark - Unintentional Sin

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 14:20:39 +0000

David had a good idea, but he executed it badly, and the results were tragic. It is an important lesson for us all.

Jerusalem and the King

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 13:49:17 +0000

Once upon a time, Jerusalem was known as the city of the Jebusites. David made it the capital of Israel, and the city of the King.

Plagued by Undefeated Foes

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 28 Sep 2025 21:38:54 +0000

Sin has consequences; it cannot be ignored. While David was off preparing for war, an ancient enemy raided Ziklag, took plunder, and carried off all the people. This enemy should have been dealt with long ago.

In Enemy Territory

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 14:01:36 +0000

David and his men find themselves in enemy territory, but still do God’s work. It’s a good analogy for Christians in a hostile world.

Revenge

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 14:17:29 +0000

Actually, in these three chapters, there are three opportunities for revenge, but none is taken. Trust God to make things right.

Hard-Learned Lessons of Righteousness

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 08 Sep 2025 14:00:02 +0000

David suddenly finds himself on his own. He makes a couple of hard-learned lessons on his way to becoming a strong man of God.

Another Kind of Victory

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 14:16:56 +0000

in Ps 59, we will see an initial response of fear, followed by prayer, followed by victorious praise. First we’re going to look at the setting, and then at the Psalm.

Another Kind of Victory

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 14:07:28 +0000

In Ps 59, we will see an initial response of fear, followed by prayer, followed by victorious praise. First we’re going to look at the setting, and then at the Psalm.

David and Goliath

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 18 Aug 2025 14:38:26 +0000

It’s one of the best-known stories of the Bible, but it is still a valuable lesson in courage and faithfulness.

Hometown Missionary

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 14:03:44 +0000

On this "Pulpit Swap Sunday," guest preacher Josh McLachlan of Heritage Church, Odessa, WA, teaches from Mark 6.

A Man After God's Own Heart

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 04 Aug 2025 12:40:01 +0000

Long before David ever faced Goliath, long before we ever hear the name David, God declares He has found a man after His own heart. This message will consider what it takes to fit that description, and how young you can be for it to apply.

To God Be The Glory

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 28 Jul 2025 14:26:23 +0000

When all is said and done, the glory goes to God. After 16 chapters of doctrine and application, it is not about us and what we do – God gets the glory.

What is God's Will

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 14:18:53 +0000

John Doyle explores the question, "What is God's Will"

From All of Us to All of You

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 07 Jul 2025 14:49:49 +0000

Aside from four verses about dealing with troublemakers (17-20), this entire chapter is given to greetings. 1-16 is who the greetings are to, 21-24 is who the greetings are from. This is a powerful statement about the importance of Christian fellowship.

Water Baptism

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 14:12:19 +0000

Our question should be that of the Ethiopian Eunuch: “What prevents me from being baptized?” If you have not been, the question is not whether you should, but why you haven’t. Prepare to be blessed as baptism photographs from the last 40 years run on the screen through the sermon.

Water Baptism

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 14:09:25 +0000

Serious Praying

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 15:17:06 +0000

Paul knows very well the dangers he faces, and he depends on praying saints for the ability to do the work God has given him.

Missions Report with Brad & Shilo Cain

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 16 Jun 2025 14:25:35 +0000

Brad and Shilo are missionaries with Ethnos 360, Serving in Chihuahua, Mexico at Colegio Binimea Mission School, providing education to missionary kids.

Answering God's Call

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 14:58:42 +0000

Beginning to wrap up the letter to the Romans, Paul refers to what he has done, and what his plans are for the future. His main goal is to be faithful to God’s call on his life.

Christlike Fellowship

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 02 Jun 2025 14:17:53 +0000

Jesus accepted you! This should be a lesson on how willing you should be to accept others.

Glorifying God Together

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 26 May 2025 15:06:35 +0000

As each of us individually lives to exalt God in our lives, we accomplish something even more meaningful - we exalt His Name Together

Rights and Responsibilities

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 19 May 2025 14:48:10 +0000

We have rights, but if using our rights hurts our brothers, it is better to forego them.

My Opinion and God's Word

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 12 May 2025 14:25:24 +0000

If we’re not careful, we can elevate our opinions about God’s Word above God’s Word itself. We need to recognize our opinions for what they are, and not make them rules for others to live by.

Wake Up and Live Right

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 05 May 2025 14:51:43 +0000

First this passage tells us to wake up, then it tells us to get dressed! (put on the armor of light, put on the Lord Jesus.) Many want to be saved now, but to live saved later. This passage says the time is close, and we should be living for Christ now.

The Goal of the Commandments

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 28 Apr 2025 14:33:51 +0000

There are the commandments, and then there is the purpose behind the commandments. Their purpose and their intended result are love demonstrated in real life.

My Redeemer Lives, and So Do I!

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 21 Apr 2025 14:11:56 +0000

Good news that creates an unquenchable joy – our Redeemer lives!

Somber Celebration

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 14:13:47 +0000

The crowds were cheering, the priests were raging, and only Jesus knew what was going on. Even as He did, He grieved for the ones who rejected Him.

Natural Rebels

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 06 Apr 2025 21:36:58 +0000

If Covid mask mandates taught us anything, it is that we are rebels at heart. We will follow the government, but only so far. We may have a hard time reconciling ourselves to this passage.

A Good Win

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 14:12:54 +0000

If you resort to evil to overcome evil, then evil has already overcome you. You can only overcome evil with good.

Giving the Gifts

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 24 Mar 2025 15:04:21 +0000

Our gifts are not given to have, our gifts are given to give. If we see them as God does, using our gifts is making an investment.

The Gift of Proclaiming God’s Word

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 14:18:03 +0000

This message will introduce spiritual gifts as a whole, and take a specific look at the gift of prophecy.

The Most Important Piece

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:37:23 +0000

The piece that is missing becomes the most important. Without it, the puzzle is incomplete. Without you, the Church is.

Proving God's Good Will

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 03 Mar 2025 15:07:10 +0000

As we experience God’s transformation of our lives, we prove that His will is good. We prove it to ourselves, and, if people are paying attention, we prove it to them as well.

Transformed

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 24 Feb 2025 15:13:40 +0000

If we are not transformed to be more godlike, we will be conformed to the pattern of this world.

Worshiping God

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 17 Feb 2025 15:57:57 +0000

In light of all God has done for us, our proper response is to live for Him.

Seeing the Glory of God

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 16:09:54 +0000

Sometimes we need to stop and see God’s glory, which is on display before us.

Glorious Victory

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 15:27:12 +0000

God has made salvation available to all through faith in Christ. And there is a day coming when all Israel will be saved.

Jews, Gentiles, and our Relationship to God

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 15:13:24 +0000

God compares His people to an olive tree. The Jews are the natural branches of the tree, Gentiles were grafted in. Gentiles should not feel superior; we are saved by grace, and Jews belong in the tree even more than we do.

Better Together

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 20 Jan 2025 16:10:53 +0000

It is a mistake to think of the Church as either Jew or Gentile. It will be best when it is comprised of both.

Endless Grace

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 15:08:16 +0000

Verse 1 asks whether God has rejected His people. Verse 6 says no, because they were chosen by grace, not works. God’s grace is limitless.

An Unwelcome Message of Truth

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 05 Jan 2025 23:11:32 +0000

There is frustration in having a message people need to hear but refuse to accept. What can you do? Keep proclaiming the message.

Even Shepherds

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 30 Dec 2024 16:24:00 +0000

Something as high as a host of angels appeared to something as low as a few scattered shepherds. Jesus came to all and for all.

Even Shepherds

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 22 Dec 2024 20:30:08 +0000

Something as high as a host of angels appeared to something as low as a few scattered shepherds. Jesus came to all and for all.

Meet the King

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 16 Dec 2024 15:19:52 +0000

Meet the King - Luke 2:11

Wise Men Praising Jesus

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 16:08:52 +0000

They were called wise men before this story began. Then they proved their wisdom by seeking Him out and worshiping Him.

Proclaim the Good News

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 15:23:39 +0000

Those who receive the good news praise God for those who proclaim it.

Stop Making It So Hard!

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 24 Nov 2024 20:37:14 +0000

It is not too high, it is not too low, and it is not complicated. Salvation is available to all who believe

Lost in the Law

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 17 Nov 2024 22:36:21 +0000

The religious Jews of that day knew the Law, and were zealous for it. But they did not know God’s righteousness or seek it.

The Pursuit of Righteousness

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 11 Nov 2024 15:44:52 +0000

Just like Israel, we sometimes think it is our righteousness that saves us. Only the righteousness of Christ, attained through faith, can do that work.

Blaming God

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 04 Nov 2024 14:41:23 +0000

The question is, how can God blame us, when it He is the One who made us and no one can resist His will? The answer feels like a hard slap – Who do you think you are to question God. He’s the Potter and you’re just a pot! The reality is we do resist His will, and we do it to our own harm.

Finding God's Mercy

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 14:04:26 +0000

We enter into the difficult area of God’s sovereign election, and how wrong it sometimes looks from the human perspective. But God’s Word has not failed, and His gift is gracious.

A Burden for the Lost

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 21 Oct 2024 14:14:53 +0000

We see Paul’s deep desire to see his people come to Christ. We should desire that drive for ourselves.

What About the Jews?

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 14 Oct 2024 14:45:33 +0000

The next 3 chapters stand apart and deal with the question of how the Jews fit into God’s plan with the Church. We will go through these chapters the same way we’ve gone through the rest of Romans, but this message will be an introductory overview.

Robert McDowall Mission Report and Sermon

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 07 Oct 2024 14:11:31 +0000

Robert McDowall Mission Report and Sermon

The Victorious Love of God

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 14:22:06 +0000

God loves us deeply. Deep faith recognizes this is true.

The Heroes On Our Side

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 14:21:10 +0000

It’s not that we don’t have an enemy. It’s that the enemy doesn’t measure up to the heroes watching out for us.

God's Blessing is Sure

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 16 Sep 2024 14:49:24 +0000

This passage is a paragraph about the confidence we have in God’s blessings. We know that all things work together for good to us, because He has already glorified us.

When Prayer is Beyond You

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 09 Sep 2024 14:20:45 +0000

Some of our most important, most urgent prayers are beyond our ability to express. The Holy Spirit does for us what we cannot do for ourselves.

Persevering in Hope

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 02 Sep 2024 13:15:13 +0000

We live in the time of suffering, but we persevere in the confident hope of a better life to come.

Living as Children of God

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 26 Aug 2024 14:21:08 +0000

This passage reveals the wonderful relationship that lets us call God ‘Abba, Father,’ and the ominous teaching that this may call for suffering.

How Will They Hear?

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 19 Aug 2024 14:21:29 +0000

How Will They Hear? Ephesians 2:12-14

Fallen

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 05 Aug 2024 14:20:27 +0000

Pastor John Doyle speaks on Hebrews 6:4-6

Alive By The Spirit

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 29 Jul 2024 13:51:04 +0000

Today’s passage makes having the Spirit crucial to living the Christian life. How do I know I have the Holy Spirit? This Sunday’s message will wrestle with this sometimes difficult question.

The Spirit does what the Flesh Cannot

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 14:10:46 +0000

Works of the flesh or keeping of the Law cannot please God. But the Spirit can, and God has given us His Spirit.

Defeated No Longer

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 15 Jul 2024 15:21:23 +0000

What a refreshing and liberating statement. After all the things that can’t help us, there is no condemnation if we are in Christ.

The Sinning Saint Syndrome

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 08 Jul 2024 16:20:25 +0000

There’s what I want to do, but don’t do, and there’s what I don’t want to do, but do anyway. Aaaah!

I Fought the Law and the Law Won

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 15:04:37 +0000

Have you ever been in a contest where you were hopelessly outclassed? You didn’t realize it at first, but it soon became evident, and you just wanted to give up, but you couldn’t. Welcome to the struggle to keep the Law.

Ordination

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 24 Jun 2024 15:09:34 +0000

Paul Nelson speaks on the subject of ordination

Free from Sin, Free for Christ

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 17 Jun 2024 15:17:52 +0000

It’s almost as if this passage is written to say, “Here’s another way you can look at it….” After an illustration from slavery to explain our freedom from sin, we now have an illustration from marriage. Having died with Christ, we are free from our relationship with sin, to enter into a relationship without sin.

What You Earn and What He Gives

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 10 Jun 2024 15:08:14 +0000

There are things we’ve all done for which we are ashamed. That’s what we’ve earned by our works. But God gives eternal life.

Dead to Sin, Alive to God

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 27 May 2024 13:15:38 +0000

When Jesus died, He died to sin, once for all; and the life He lives, He lives to God. We are supposed to consider ourselves dead to sin and alive to God; but sometimes, sin doesn’t want to die, and sometimes we don’t want it to.

Life Death and Baptism

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 20 May 2024 14:23:52 +0000

There is a lot of discussion about what baptism is and what it means. From this week’s passage, it is associated with Christ’s death and resurrection. And association with His resurrection doesn’t just mean new life in the hereafter, but new life now.

The Absurdity of sin

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 13 May 2024 14:06:29 +0000

Those who take their sin lightly also take their Savior lightly. This passage addresses those who take grace and turn it into a license to sin, and it says, “Don’t even go there.”

Grace Greater than All Our Sin

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 06 May 2024 14:32:45 +0000

One sin is enough to condemn, but by one act of righteousness Jesus saves after many sins. We begin to see how great His grace is.

Original Sin

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 29 Apr 2024 14:02:15 +0000

This passage, verses 12 to the end of the chapter, continues developing the theme of how ‘much more’ Christ did for us (see verses 15, and 17). But to get there, we have to wade through the difficult and unpopular doctrine of original sin. Today’s message will look at what the Bible teaches about this, and try to settle the question.

Implications of God's Love

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 22 Apr 2024 14:04:38 +0000

In this passage, there are two ‘much mores’ and a ‘not only this.’ If God loves us so much that He sent His Son for us, how much more can we celebrate what He does for us?

God in Every Situation

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 14:41:54 +0000

The word ‘Peace’ (v.1) gives way to ‘Celebration’ (vv. 2-3), and celebration is not limited to just the good times. The hard times lead us to our third word: Hope. And Hope does not disappoint.

True Peace

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 08 Apr 2024 14:39:37 +0000

It is a terrible mistake to be at war with the King of the Universe; and a wonderful thing that Jesus gives us peace.

My Lord and My God

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 01 Apr 2024 14:00:56 +0000

Thomas was a little late to the party, but he was welcome when he finally joined in.

Only Human: The Story of Peter's Failures

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 18 Mar 2024 14:11:55 +0000

We’re going to look at Peter’s boast, and then at Peter’s failure, and then at Peter’s failure. And then we’ll fast forward to Pentecost, and ask, “What happened to Peter?” And we’ll discuss what the Holy Spirit does for a person.

Faith in the One Greater than Death

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 10 Mar 2024 21:58:05 +0000

<VIDEO LINK>

Abraham was as good as dead (15:19), Sarah’s womb was dead (15:19), but our faith is in the One who raised Jesus from the dead (15:24). Faith works because our faith is in the One greater than death.

Father Abraham Had Many Sons

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 03 Mar 2024 22:30:09 +0000

We can debate about the chicken or the egg, but it is clear that faith came before works. Abraham is the father of the Jewish nation, but he is also the father of the faithful.

Forgiven

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 26 Feb 2024 14:23:56 +0000

With the example of Abraham, the focus was on faith. With David, it is forgiveness.

Faith, Works, and Righteousness

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 19 Feb 2024 14:47:29 +0000

There's nothing wrong with good works, except they look kind of shabby compared to perfection. Faith, on the other hand, declares us righteous.

Saved by the Same Faith

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 12 Feb 2024 01:17:20 +0000

There is no hierarchy in salvation, because we’re all saved the same way. Therefore, there is no room for boasting between believers.

Both Righteous and Gracious

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 04 Feb 2024 22:45:32 +0000

If God is going to judge us for unrighteousness, He must be righteous Himself. Today’s passage says He is just that.

Satisfied With Us

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 28 Jan 2024 22:01:11 +0000

First, Romans demonstrated how lost in sin we are; now it shows that in Christ, God is satisfied with us. This is truly good news.

Finally, We Can Be Righteous

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 21 Jan 2024 22:26:00 +0000

It is not by the deeds we do, but by the works Jesus has done that we can be declared righteous; and this is available to us by faith.

United in Sin and Guilt

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 15 Jan 2024 01:10:35 +0000

People like to say that We’re all God’s children; that being human unites us as His children. But it’s more like the opposite. We’re all alienated from God; being sinful unites us as not His children. The good news is that since we share the sentence sin brings, we can also share the salvation Jesus brings.

Why Bother?

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 07 Jan 2024 22:39:27 +0000

This book so far can leave us feeling pretty defeated. The Gentiles are sinful, the Jews are sinful. If the people called God’s people are just as lost as the people who are not called God’s people, then what’s the point? Maybe it’s not us who have failed, but God Himself! That is the voice of frustration, not of truth. God has not failed His people.

A Whole New Start

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 01 Jan 2024 00:11:41 +0000

Most of us have given up on New Year's resolutions, because we’ve been there, done that, and they don’t work. But Jesus makes us new creatures, we can change because we are changed. Therefore, we need to live changed.

Mike Bell preaches from Isaiah 9:6-7

How Can This Be?

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 04 Dec 2023 00:46:25 +0000

This sermon examines the question Mary asked when told by the angel that she would give birth to the Son of God.

From the Inside Out

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 22:54:39 +0000

A book is not good because it has a good cover; an egg is not good because it has a good shell. Those things are nice, but it is what is on the inside that counts.

Give Thanks in All Things

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 20 Nov 2023 00:10:51 +0000

A reminder that Thanksgiving is more than a holiday

Dragging God's Name Through the Mud

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 12 Nov 2023 22:20:36 +0000

This passage ends with the jarring condemnation, “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.” Work and pray that this is not true in your case.

Having the Truth is Not Enough

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 05 Nov 2023 23:03:29 +0000

James warns us that as a man sows, so shall he reap. Paul tells us here we don’t only reap, we store up. We should fear the day when we’re faced with what we’ve stored.

Prepare for the Day of Reckoning

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 29 Oct 2023 20:27:45 +0000

James warns us that as a man sows, so shall he reap. Paul tells us here we don’t only reap, we store up. We should fear the day when we’re faced with what we’ve stored.

Just as Bad as Them

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 22 Oct 2023 21:36:03 +0000

Being religious is not the same as being good.

Unbelievably Bad

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 22:52:30 +0000

There was a time when we read this passage, and said, “I can’t see how it could really get that bad.” Now we say, “I can’t see how it got that bad.’ Our descent into sin is real and clear, and we really need a Savior.

God, Giving in to Our Demands

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 01 Oct 2023 20:48:35 +0000

The first part of the Gospel presentation is sin. We are sinful and need to be saved. In this passage, Paul demonstrates the mess we are in, and how we got there. God gave us free will, and no matter how bad our choices will be, He lets us make them and face the consequences.

Revealing the Gospel

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 24 Sep 2023 21:31:27 +0000

Ashamed of the Gospel? It is the power of God to salvation. It reveals His righteousness and is attained by faith. How could we be ashamed of what has done so much for us? We say with Paul, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel.”

What the Church Believes

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 17 Sep 2023 19:30:42 +0000

We know Romans as Paul’s doctrinal masterpiece; the book that makes clear how salvation works. For Paul, it was his introduction to the Roman Church. To the saints in Rome, it was a letter from the famous Christian thinker, Paul, clarifying some difficult concepts. It is also the inspired Word of God. This week we begin our journey through the book of Romans with an introduction.

A Shell of a Church

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 10 Sep 2023 22:38:39 +0000

I complained to God that our new building, as it stands now, is just an empty shell, and useless. The phrase seemed to echo in my mind. This week we will look at three of the seven churches of Revelation: Ephesus, Sardis, and Laodicea, and see Christ’s warnings to churches that were in various stages of becoming empty shells of a church.

Words to the Wise: With All Your Heart

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 04 Sep 2023 00:42:05 +0000

There are times that test your faith. You find yourself thinking you just can’t do it God’s way in this situation. Perhaps the greatest statement of wisdom in Proverbs is to trust God rather than leaning on your own understanding.

Words to the Wise: Wisdom Cries Out

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 27 Aug 2023 21:26:47 +0000

Wisdom cries out in the street, but the adultress also lurks there. Do not let yourself be distracted.

Elders 101 - When an Elder Sins

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 02 Jul 2023 22:49:10 +0000

We conclude this series on elders with a look at what to do when an elder sins. There are reasons this gets special mention.

Water Baptism

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 25 Jun 2023 19:31:21 +0000

This is our annual plug for baptism. In addition to a message encouraging people to be baptized, prepare to enjoy our growing slide show.

Elders 101: Qualifications of an Elder

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 18 Jun 2023 22:47:08 +0000

Father’s Day and Elders' messages overlap in this passage that asks, if a man cannot manage his household, how can he care for the Church of God?

Sermons 101: Instructions to Elders

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 11 Jun 2023 21:28:14 +0000

Some of the passages we use this week are ones we’ve seen already, others for the first time, as we look specifically at things the elders are told to do.

Prepared to Face the World

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 04 Jun 2023 20:27:26 +0000

This message is dedicated to our graduating seniors; Godly young adults prepared to live in an ungodly world.

Elders 101 - the Position of Elder

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 29 May 2023 16:50:14 +0000

If the title is right, it explains the job. Three terms in the New Testament are closely linked: Shepherd, Elder, and Overseer. This message will explore the job, as implied by these titles.

Elders 101 - the Early Elders

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 21 May 2023 21:27:40 +0000

This message looks at the example of early Church elders and what they did. This will help us understand the role of elders today.

True & False

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 30 Apr 2023 20:33:36 +0000

True and false paths, true and false prophets, true and false disciples. Be sure you get these things right.

The Golden rule

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 23 Apr 2023 23:32:33 +0000

It is called ‘the Golden Rule’ because it is so good. If we could follow it, life would be much better.

Ask

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 16 Apr 2023 22:45:06 +0000

One of the things we have to wrap our minds around is that God wants to take care of us. We get distracted by the big things we might want and can we get that, and forget that He’s taking care of us all the time.

This Changes Everything!

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 09 Apr 2023 23:30:27 +0000

If Jesus did not rise from the dead, He is barely a historical footnote. But if the resurrection is real, then death is weak and life is eternal.

Refusing the Call: The Message of Last-week Miracles

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 02 Apr 2023 20:41:04 +0000

Shortly after His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, Jesus told three parables. All three show people not doing what they should have been doing. There is a consistent message that honoring Christ with words only means nothing, but honoring Him in truth brings reward.

Eyes on the Prize

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 27 Mar 2023 14:25:56 +0000

En route to His final week in Jerusalem, Jesus stayed on task. Giving sight to the blind and reaching the lost, Jesus never faltered in His mission.

Judging and Helping

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 19 Mar 2023 22:17:36 +0000

When we see someone sinning, we could use it as an opportunity to pounce on them; it is also an opportunity to help them.

God's Provision

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 12 Mar 2023 22:11:19 +0000

Money cannot buy the best things in life. But God gives them freely.

Tug of War for Your Heart

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 26 Feb 2023 23:32:58 +0000

The problem with money is that it is such a potent false god; because it really does seem to be able to give what it offers. And it’s easier to manipulate than the God in heaven. We need to decide which way we will move our hearts.

Protection in the MInefield

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 19 Feb 2023 22:56:43 +0000

In this wicked world, we can run into temptation at any moment. If we are wise, we will seek protection from this danger.

The Two Sides of Forgiveness

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 01:46:59 +0000

We easily find reasons not to forgive those who have offended us. But whether we forgive them or not reveals less about them, and more about us.

Gods Provision

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 06 Feb 2023 15:13:10 +0000

Jesus teaches us it is okay to ask God to provide for us. He does it in a way that says God will provide for His children, but might not choose to spoil them.

Finding God's Kingdom

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 30 Jan 2023 02:24:26 +0000

God’s will being done on earth as it is in heaven is less about God’s kingdom in our land and more about God’s kingdom in our hearts.

First, Focus on God

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 15 Jan 2023 21:42:50 +0000

Who He is, where He is, His holiness. We should start every prayer with the awareness of who we are talking to.

Meaningful Prayer

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 08 Jan 2023 22:13:14 +0000

Real communication happens when two or more people exchange information in a meaningful way. God does not want us to merely talk at Him, but to speak to Him.

Meaningful Prayer

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 21 Nov 2022 01:45:15 +0000

By definition, prayer is talking to God. He is your intended audience. When people are also listening, our purpose can become confused.

Godly Giving

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 13 Nov 2022 22:04:08 +0000

This message will encourage us to give, to give generously, and to give quietly. And it will also show the truth that you cannot outgive God.

Righteous Rewards

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 06 Nov 2022 23:44:12 +0000

"Delayed Gratification"' is the phrase we use for doing without now for a greater reward later on. Can you give up man’s small and temporary rewards today for God’s larger, permanent rewards later on? This shouldn’t be a tough question.

Loving Even Your Enemies

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 30 Oct 2022 22:14:33 +0000

Loving Even Your Enemies - Matthew 5:43-48

Defeating Evil

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 23 Oct 2022 19:15:49 +0000

In the heat of the moment, we want to beat the bad guy. We must always remember it is better to win him than to beat him.

Simple Honest Words

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 16 Oct 2022 23:50:49 +0000

The Old Testament tells us that if we make an oath we should keep it. Jesus tells us not to make oaths in the first place. But do what you say.

Avoid the Roots of Divorce

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 02 Oct 2022 19:28:45 +0000

Divorces happen in the Church, and Christians who want to honor God find themselves struggling to understand what is pleasing and acceptable in God’s sight. Today’s passage ties all divorce, for whatever reason, to sexual immorality and adultery; either as a cause or a result.

Avoid the Roots of Adultery

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 25 Sep 2022 19:34:50 +0000

Lust is the root of adultery, and we live in a society that thrives on lust. We need to avoid this sin.

Avoid the Roots of Murder

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 18 Sep 2022 19:23:15 +0000

Mom and Dad say, “Don’t hit your sister,” but what they want is for you to get along with your sister. When Jesus said “You have heard, but I say,” He was not changing Scripture, but explaining it.

The Law, the Word, and Us

God’s Law does not fail; God’s Word does not fail; God’s people; we may have a problem there.

Make the World Better

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 21 Aug 2022 19:20:15 +0000

We are called to be salt and light. These are things that make other things better. We are called to be a blessing.

The Character of God

Genesis 3:8-9

A Blessing for Those Who Suffer for Christ

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 31 Jul 2022 19:26:11 +0000

We fear and avoid suffering, but it is a privilege to suffer for Christ. The reward is the Kingdom of Heaven.

A Blessing for Peacemakers

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 24 Jul 2022 19:15:44 +0000

After Hallelujah, Shalom is probably the best-known Jewish word. It is the hunger and desire of Jews everywhere, and God promises a blessing for those who make peace.

A Blessing for the Pure ein Heart

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 17 Jul 2022 19:24:17 +0000

A blessing for the pure in heart seems to rule me out from the very beginning. But Jesus didn’t speak these words to tell us blessings we cannot receive. We can and should strive to be pure in heart.

Baptism

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 10 Jul 2022 21:26:00 +0000

Baptism is an initiation rite, a believer’s declaration of faith and act of obedience, and a necessary step in discipleship.

A Blessing for the Merciful

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 03 Jul 2022 19:16:04 +0000

Mercy includes both forgiveness and charity. If we are givers of these when we can be, we will be receivers when we need to be.

The Blessing for Those Who Want to Do Good

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 26 Jun 2022 19:20:05 +0000

This is a fallen world; and many of us live like we belong in a fallen world. God has a blessing for those who hunger for the righteousness this world lacks.

Blessing for the Gentle

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 19 Jun 2022 23:24:58 +0000

‘Fortune favors the brave,’ we all know that. If you want something, you have to reach out and take it. You climb the ladder of success over the backs of others. The meek will inherit the earth. One of these things is not like the others. And that one is the correct answer.

Blessing for the Compassionate

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 12 Jun 2022 22:01:02 +0000

God blesses those who care about the suffering of others.

Finding God's Blessings - Blessings for the Humble

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 05 Jun 2022 19:14:28 +0000

Today we start a journey through the Sermon on the Mount; with the first of the Beatitudes; God blesses the humble.

Eternal Rewards

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 29 May 2022 19:14:18 +0000

The very last verse of 66 chapters of Isaiah is about hell. When all is done, we face our final destiny.

Coming to Terms With Fasting

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 23 May 2022 02:46:57 +0000

By definition, to fast means to go without food for a specific purpose, such as prayer. But in today’s passage of Isaiah, God says He’s looking for more.

How We Talk

Healing the Broken

Once convicted, the sinner can be restored, and that is what Jesus excels at.

For Those Not Guilty

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 01 May 2022 20:22:49 +0000

What was going to be one sermon is now three. Part two on Contrition: for those who do not feel guilty, but should.

Hope for the Guilty

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 24 Apr 2022 19:39:33 +0000

We are far too casual about our sin. God is with those who are contrite and lowly of spirit.

The Joy Remains

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 17 Apr 2022 19:06:25 +0000

Long after the surprise of Jesus’ resurrection is gone, the joy remains.

Jesus Alone

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 10 Apr 2022 21:36:39 +0000

On Sunday, Jesus rode in among crowds of cheering people. But by Thursday night, He prayed alone. Jesus alone can save us, and Jesus was alone when He did.

Surprise?

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 03 Apr 2022 21:40:49 +0000

Everyone was so surprised when Jesus did exactly what He said He would do. The surprise isn’t what happened, but His follower's lack of understanding.

Failproof

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 27 Mar 2022 22:12:43 +0000

God’s Word, once sent out, will accomplish what He sent it out to do. So we should always be confident as we use His Word

Did You Think He Was a Little God?

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 20 Mar 2022 23:05:32 +0000

Man-made gods are small, have limited power, and can be understood by us. The God of the universe is bigger than that. His ways and thoughts are as high above us as the heavens are over the earth.

Thirsting for Life

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 14 Mar 2022 02:49:43 +0000

Satisfaction doesn’t cost money, and cannot be bought with money. It is found in Christ.

Thy Will Be done

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 06 Mar 2022 20:16:02 +0000

God’s will was hard, but because Jesus was faithful, His victory is great.

Oppressed but Victorious

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 27 Feb 2022 20:13:42 +0000

He was oppressed and afflicted (v.7), By oppression and judgment He was taken away (V. 8), and even when He was dead, they intended to bury Him with the wicked. But their plans would not stand. He was innocent and overcame their oppression.

Prophet Without Honor

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 13 Feb 2022 21:49:22 +0000

Jesus is worthy of all our praise, but He didn't see much of that in this world. Instead, He was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.

The Price He Paid

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 06 Feb 2022 22:35:43 +0000

Jesus’ suffering was terrible, but what He accomplished is glorious.

Light of the Nations

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 30 Jan 2022 21:28:46 +0000

“It is too small a thing that You restore Israel. I will also make you a light of the nations.” This is a message on the value of Christ.

Gentle Savior

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 23 Jan 2022 23:37:14 +0000

Isaiah 42:1-4: Jesus did not demand His rights or look out for Himself, but He did go out of His way to be gentle with sinners.

Made in the Image of God

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 16 Jan 2022 23:34:34 +0000

God made many creatures on our planet, but only one is made in the image of God. God considers us special, and because of that, we are.

Perspective

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 09 Jan 2022 23:35:39 +0000

It is time to stand back and take a good look at God. A little change in perspective is good for us.

Birth Announcements

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Sun, 26 Dec 2021 23:41:09 +0000

We all like to announce the birth of our children. God did, too. We announce things like date, gender, and weight. God announces things like Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.

Humble Beginnings

Introductions Are In Order; Have You Met Jesus?

Why Did Jesus Come As A Baby?

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 06 Dec 2021 01:14:32 +0000

Mike Bell addresses the question, "Why did Jesus come as a baby?"

Preparing the Way for Christ

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 29 Nov 2021 16:15:12 +0000

John the Baptist literally appeared in the wilderness, crying out, “Make ready the way of the Lord,” but we should all be making it easier for people to come to Christ.

Servants of the Same Master

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 16 Mar 2020 15:27:55 +0000

The servant does the job he’s been given, that’s all. In the Church, it is God who gets the glory.

How to- Disciples

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 09 Mar 2020 16:53:01 +0000

Jesus commanded us to go and make disciples. How do we do that?

Perpetual Pettiness

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 02 Mar 2020 16:26:05 +0000

For some reason, many Christians seem to prefer not to grow up. That is foolish, lazy, and unnatural. We need to move beyond petty things and on to maturity.

More Than Science

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 24 Feb 2020 15:11:23 +0000

God reveals to us what we could never figure out for ourselves. And what He reveals is truly wonderful.

The Old Old Story

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 10 Feb 2020 16:46:45 +0000

It is tempting, when a listener is not satisfied with the Bible, to want to add to it. It is important to recognize that God has spoken, and His power is in His words..

No Room for Pride

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 03 Feb 2020 14:58:11 +0000

Some of us really are wiser than others; some have made fewer or smaller mistakes. Some have committed more offensive sins. It makes no difference. The ground is level at the foot of the cross, and we all are saved on the same basis, and there is no place for pride.

Finding the Power of God

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 27 Jan 2020 15:00:44 +0000

Men flatter themselves by means of their intelligence and reason; but that is a mistake. The power to save us is revealed not by reason, but by the God who saves us.

Saints in Muddy Robes

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 13 Jan 2020 16:53:39 +0000

As mentioned last Sunday, Corinth was a messed up church. But it was still the Church. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that we are works in progress.

Living in Corinth

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 06 Jan 2020 16:54:35 +0000

One of the rules of preaching is ‘You have to go through Corinth to get to (fill in the blank). The blank is where you live. The rule means we first have to understand what the message meant to its first audience before we can understand what it means to us. The thing is, as we look at Corinth, we may find we are already there.

Christmas Joy

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 23 Dec 2019 18:44:50 +0000

We will celebrate God’s love, as shown by His gift to us.

The What and Why Series: Christmas

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 16 Dec 2019 15:39:27 +0000

We all know what Christmas is, and we all know why we celebrate it. But what does that have to do with the way we celebrate Christmas, and why do we do the things we do?

The What and Why Series: Baptism

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 18 Nov 2019 15:07:33 +0000

Baptism has somehow become a controversial thing within Christianity, and has been loaded with a lot of baggage. Originally, it was an initiation rite. Some tie it to salvation. What we read in Matthew 28 links it more to discipleship than salvation. This message will consider these things, looking at what baptism is, how it should be done, and why we do it.

The What and Why Series: Church

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 11 Nov 2019 16:41:47 +0000

This will be preaching to the choir, as I speak to people at church about going to church. But this will consider the questions, what is the Church? What is the difference between Church and church? Why do we do church the way we do? How do we keep our heart in church? Maybe more; there is a lot to what we do in church, for church, and as a church. This message will state some of the obvious, and maybe some that is not so obvious.

Remember Your Brothers in Chains

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 04 Nov 2019 15:07:49 +0000

November 3 is the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. We will consider this passage, watch a video about the persecuted Church, and spend some time in prayer.

The What and Why Series Communion

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 28 Oct 2019 16:42:33 +0000

What is ‘Communion?’ Why do we do it the way we do? Why do we do it at all? These are the questions we look at this week.

The Importance of Doctrine

The What and Why Series: Devos

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 14 Oct 2019 15:38:58 +0000

‘Daily Devotions’ is one of those phrases Christians sometimes throw around. We’re seldom actually told what they are or what they should look like. They’re just some mysterious thing we’re supposed to ‘do.’ Today’s message will define and describe devotions, and talk about how and when and why to do them. Hopefully, this will be a blessing.

The Prophetic Significance of the Feasts of Israel by Olivier Melnick

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 16:26:17 +0000

Chosen People Ministries speaker Olivier Melnick will be our speaker for this insightful topic. What are the Feasts of Israel, why were they instituted, and what significance do they have for us today?

Hands Off!

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 23 Sep 2019 17:28:37 +0000

The very first person we ever see quoting God’s word is Eve, and she got it wrong. To God’s word that they should not eat of the tree, she added, “Nor touch it.” There seems to be a constant temptation to change God’s Word; either to make it more forceful, or easier to accept. In Revelation 22, at the very end of the Book, God says, “This is My word. Don’t add to it, don’t take anything away from it. I’m coming soon.”

Keeping the Words of the Book

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 16 Sep 2019 16:20:10 +0000

In this passage, Jesus tells us twice He is coming soon, and we are told twice to keep the words of the prophecy of this book. He is not telling us to know them, but to do them. The question is, how do we ‘do’ the message of Revelation?

Life

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 09 Sep 2019 23:54:04 +0000

The River of Life, the Tree of Life, and the Living God. It will be heaven.

The New Jerusalem - An Impossible City

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 02 Sep 2019 23:46:54 +0000

The dimensions of the New Jerusalem are those of a cube: “Its length and width and height are equal” (Rev 21:16). What is that length and width and height? 12,000 stadia – almost 1400 miles. This city is impossible! But then we remember this city was introduced as the bride (v.9). God is talking about much more than a physical city.

One Big Happy Family?

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 26 Aug 2019 16:05:50 +0000

Pastor John Doyle teaches on the greatest commandments.

A Warning Against Faithless Faith

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 26 Aug 2019 15:54:21 +0000

This is the first of five statements in the last two chapters of Revelation about those who will not enter heaven. I think this is a warning to many who think that is their destination, but are only fooling themselves.

No More Tears

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 12 Aug 2019 16:38:51 +0000

Like a loving parent, God wipes the tears away from our eyes. It is a picture of compassion, but also is a promise that tears will not return.

All Things New

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 05 Aug 2019 17:06:21 +0000

He wipes away every tear and makes all things new. Can we begin to imagine how awesome eternity will be?

Be Holy

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 29 Jul 2019 15:38:13 +0000

A message delivered by John Doyle.

Your Life On Display

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 22 Jul 2019 15:58:15 +0000

You stand before the judge, and he asks for a book. It is a thick book. You look for the title, but all you see on the cover is your own name. He begins to read, and you realize it is not fiction, and it is not abridged. It is not long before you want to crawl into a hole and hide, but you cannot. Unless your name is in that other book…

The Final Battle

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Tue, 16 Jul 2019 13:19:16 +0000

The Millennium ends with the final final battle, and the last last days. Once again the nations gather in rebellion against God, once again He emerges victorious. This time we have the true end of the world, followed by a new heaven and a new earth.

The Millennium

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 08 Jul 2019 13:44:45 +0000

Satan will lie in prison, Jesus will rule on earth, and things will be as they should be, for 1,000 years.

The Victory That Was Never In Doubt

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Tue, 02 Jul 2019 13:20:56 +0000

Every Christian will agree that Jesus’ victory is never in doubt. So why do we so often live as if we don’t believe it?

The Wedding of the Lamb

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 24 Jun 2019 13:20:19 +0000

The wedding supper of the Lamb precedes the final battle. Jesus claims His bride before He claims His throne. It is time for the bride to rejoice.

Dealing With Man's Other God

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 10 Jun 2019 15:51:45 +0000

After reading about the destruction of the harlot (religion) in chapter 17, we turn to the removal of man’s other God, money. Merchants are addressed four times in this chapter. They are those who value money above all else, and they are told to weep and wail.

The Death of Religion

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 03 Jun 2019 12:24:00 +0000

The Death of Religion

The End of the World

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 27 May 2019 14:09:01 +0000

The seven bowls of wrath come quickly and with finality. This is no longer about bringing man to repentance, it is now about bringing man to judgment. They end with open war between God and man.

Who Do You Say That I Am?

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Tue, 21 May 2019 16:20:47 +0000

Matthew 16:15-16

Honoring Mom

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 13 May 2019 16:07:05 +0000

According to this passage of Proverbs, Mom’s words guide you when you walk about, watch over you when you sleep, and speak to you when you are awake. A little reflection on life, and you realize how right Solomon was.

Building for the Kingdom

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 06 May 2019 16:29:46 +0000

This Sunday is the groundbreaking for our new Fellowship Hall. It is not the start of a temple, but it is building for the Kingdom.

God's Justice is Right

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 29 Apr 2019 15:21:02 +0000

God is about to unleash His bowls of wrath; but even His wrath is righteous. Today’s passage shows the preparation in heaven for judgment on earth

Alive Again!

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 22 Apr 2019 13:17:27 +0000

Here’s the catch: it’s not whether or not Jesus rose, it’s whether or not you believe He rose. The facts are there. What they mean to you makes all the difference.

The Lamb of God

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 15 Apr 2019 13:23:54 +0000

Jesus was not only the Lamb of God; He was the unapplauded and unappreciated sacrificial Lamb of God. Even though God clearly laid out the sufferings and sacrifice of Christ hundreds of years before it happened, people who knew the prophecies refused to believe them.

Is the Lord Your Shepherd?

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 08 Apr 2019 16:54:03 +0000

Message by guest speaker, Robert McDowall

The Harvest

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 01 Apr 2019 17:25:17 +0000

We no longer find the time descriptions of 1,260 This passage presents a picture that is a description of what is about to happen. The earth is ripe for harvest, but this is not a joyful harvest; it is the harvest of the wicked.

Just Rewards

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 25 Mar 2019 16:23:12 +0000

We no longer find the time descriptions of 1,260 days, 42 months, or time, times and half a time. We are not reading about the second half of the Tribulation now, but what comes next.

The Beast's Enforcer

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 18 Mar 2019 16:38:48 +0000

This next beast comes out – the third part of the unholy trinity. It looks like a lamb, but speaks like a dragon. He exalts the beast and enforces his will. Just as Satan works through the antichrist, so the antichrist will work through his prophet. It will deceive the people of the earth. The message for God’s people is clear – don’t be deceived.

The Power of a Word of Testimony

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 04 Mar 2019 17:53:58 +0000

Revelation 12:17 says the dragon went to make was against “those who obey God’s commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus.” The testimony makes believers a target. But in V. 11 we’ve already read, “They overcame him (the accuser) by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” The testimony that makes them a target is the testimony that gives them victory.

Facing Satan's Fury

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 25 Feb 2019 16:59:11 +0000

Satan wanted heaven, but he is denied, cast down to earth. Enraged, he tries to vent his anger on the Jews, and is again frustrated. He has one target left for his fury: “the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.”

Dragon-Proof

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Tue, 19 Feb 2019 18:16:22 +0000

None of us can defeat the dragon, but that doesn’t matter. If God says the dragon can’t hurt us, the dragon can’t hurt us.

Thy Kingdom Come

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 11 Feb 2019 18:02:40 +0000

The seventh trumpet sounds, and victory is declared. Voices in heaven declare that God’s kingdom has come (Matt 6), that the nations raged, but God’s wrath has come (Ps. 2), and that the time for rewarding the faithful and punishing sinners (Matt 25, 2 Cor 5:10) has come. It’s been a long time coming, but God’s kingdom will come.

A Battle We Can't Lose

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 04 Feb 2019 17:39:01 +0000

The world will gloat when God’s two faithful witnesses are slain. But even death cannot defeat God’s children. As long as we remain faithful, we cannot lose.

A Divided Temple

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 28 Jan 2019 15:47:54 +0000

The courts of the temple are given over to the gentiles; but the temple itself is only for those who are true to God, however few they may be.

The Bittersweet Word of God

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Tue, 22 Jan 2019 16:30:43 +0000

God’s Word is sweet to His people, but when Jon at the little scroll, which was at first sweet; it became bitter. God’s sweet Word, when rejected, leaves pain for those who care.

What Isn't God Telling Us?

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 14 Jan 2019 15:51:41 +0000

John faithfully writes that a voice from heaven told him not to write what he heard. What kind of a tease is this? In this message we’ll consider what these seven thunders might be – especially my theory that they are good news for God’s people – but more that God has the right to reveal what He chooses to reveal, and we have no right to demand more. Our responsibility is to be faithful to what we do know.

Anything but Repentance

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 07 Jan 2019 16:06:21 +0000

Repentance is the recognition of guilt and turning from it. In this week’s passage, we find people willing to do absolutely anything but repent.

When the Wicked Suffer

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 10 Dec 2018 18:17:41 +0000

“Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.” (Psalm 1:7). With this plague, the wicked suffer horribly while the righteous are protected. God is able to protect His people, God is able to punish evil-doers. But what do the saints do while the sinners are helpless? This passage says nothing about that.

Judgment Begins

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 03 Dec 2018 18:29:14 +0000

The Seventh seal is opened; the angels begin to blow the seven trumpets, and judgment is unleashed on the earth. This is just the beginning. If we would learn a lesson from this, it is don’t make God mad.

The Moment Before Launch

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 19 Nov 2018 18:20:42 +0000

The Moment Before Launch

The State of Affairs

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 12 Nov 2018 17:27:04 +0000

Instead of going directly to the seventh seal, there is hushed pause in the action. Things are going to get really bad, but before they do, God shows us that the good guys really are winning. Huge numbers of believers have died, but they have not lost – they are in the presence of God. And there are a special group of 144,000 men set aside, for some purpose not made clear to us. What is the state of affairs? Everything is under control.

Running in Terror from God

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 05 Nov 2018 16:13:43 +0000

Why would someone run into a cave during an earthquake? Because they are more afraid of what is outside than what is in. The great people who opposed God will beg the rocks to fall on them – anything to keep God from getting them.

The God of Justice

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 29 Oct 2018 15:19:36 +0000

God has not yet entered into judgment on the earth, but it is just a matter of time

Mission Trip Report

On the Heels of the Antichrist

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 15 Oct 2018 17:51:45 +0000

This week we will see seals 2, 3, & 4 broken, revealing the rest of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. None of them appear to be supernatural. Perhaps these are natural results of rejecting God to follow man.

The Antichrist

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Wed, 10 Oct 2018 21:23:06 +0000

When the Lamb opens the first seal, a rider comes out on a white horse. He looks like a hero, and the world will believe he is, but he is not. He is the Antichrist.

Only the Lamb is Worthy

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 01 Oct 2018 15:50:35 +0000

Heaven stood helpless and John wept loudly. No one was worthy to open the book. Then the Lion was announced, and the Lamb came forward.
Communion Sunday

A Peek at the Throne of God

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 24 Sep 2018 14:02:59 +0000

Chapters 4 & 5 of Revelation compare and contrast the glory found at the throne of God. Chapter four, before introducing the Lamb that was slain is glorious. We will see that this week.

God is Faithful

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Wed, 19 Sep 2018 14:44:38 +0000

Guest speaker, Bruce Morock, teaches on God's faithfulness.

Rules of Revelation

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 10 Sep 2018 14:47:28 +0000

Revelation is a difficult book. The frightening language and descriptions often scare us away. But it is a book that also promises blessings on those who read it. This sermon will share some principles that will bring understanding the book within our reach. I think we’ll find blessings that don’t wait for the future, but find us today.

Forgiveness & the Unforgiveable Sin

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 03 Sep 2018 13:16:02 +0000

We love to receive forgiveness, but find it difficult to give forgiveness. God forgives (almost) every sin; and He asks us to do the same.

Wisdom Meets Social Media

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Fri, 31 Aug 2018 15:09:58 +0000

The old Good Book has much to say about modern media. Just take everything addressed to the tongue, and apply it to the keyboard.

When the Saints are Sinners

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Fri, 31 Aug 2018 14:53:45 +0000

We understand when the world sins, because it is the world. But what about when believers sin? What about when believers continue in sin, and think it is okay. How is the follower of Christ supposed to relate to that person?

Baptism

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 02 Jul 2018 04:55:05 +0000

In Jesusâ€™ last words, as recorded in Matthew, Jesus does not equate baptism with salvation, but with discipleship. This message will cover: what baptism is, what we say by baptism, and what baptism says to us.

When the Good Die Young

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 25 Jun 2018 18:01:01 +0000

King Josiah

John's Job

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 25 Jun 2018 17:21:07 +0000

Even when we are serving Christ, there is a subtle temptation to exalt ourselves. John had the right perspective when he said, â€œHe must increase, but I must decrease.â€

Left Alone

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 04 Jun 2018 16:36:41 +0000

â€œGod left him to himself, in order to test him and to know all that was in his heart.â€ God has promised He would never leave us nor forsake us. So what happened to Hezekiah, and can it happen to us? How will we fare if it does?

More Than Remembered

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 04 Jun 2018 16:27:58 +0000

The tombstones read RIP, but our hope is much more than that. Instead of Resting In Peace, we look forward to Rejoicing In Victory.

Faithful in Hard Times

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 04 Jun 2018 16:21:04 +0000

The Assyrian empire has now set its sights on Judah, and like all other nations, Judah is falling, until Jerusalem alone stands. Instead of bowing before the enemy, Hezekiah bows before God, and is delivered.

People Pleasers

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 30 Apr 2018 16:24:01 +0000

Joash was a great king â€“ until his mentor died. Then it became apparent he was good because of his relationship with a man, not God. Live your life to please God, not people.

Serving God, Sort Of

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 23 Apr 2018 19:28:41 +0000

Jehu was extremely zealous for God, as long as it served his purposes.

Unstoppable

Trinity Bible Fellowship — Mon, 16 Apr 2018 16:37:31 +0000

You know the Bible stories of unlikely victory. You know David and Goliath, Samson and the Philistines, Joshua and the battle of Jericho, Gideon and the Midianites. But do you know the four lepers and the Arameans? This week we will learn one more story reminding us God wins through courageous faithful people.
