Keith Barker 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 02/28/2016

Preacher: Keith Barker, elder

Key Text: Revelation 4:1-11

SBC logo 204x204Description: It’s easy to become fascinated by the topic of End Times. The challenge is that many respected theologians disagree about this section of the Book of Revelation. Today we will present one view and seek to support it from other Scriptures. And while this view may not agree with yours, if the result of listening to this message leads you to further study, then the time is well spent. The caution, however, is that good is often the enemy of best.  …And the in-depth study of Christology is always the best.

Wisdom: Wise or Otherwise [James 3:13]

Keith Barker 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 01/24/2016

Preacher: Keith Barker, elder

Key Text: James 3:13

SBC logo 204x204Description: Our culture in America places great value on the knowledge that comes with a college education.  From a financial perspective it nearly guarantees your life earnings will increase. The Bible, though, tells us to study for knowledge, but to ask for wisdom. There’s a difference between knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is acquired through study, but wisdom is something that is given. You can’t get wisdom just by obtaining that precious college degree, because wisdom is a gift of God.

Jesus Only [Matthew 17]

December 27, 2015

Keith Barker 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 12/27/2015

Preacher: Keith Barker, elder

Key Text: Matthew 17

SBC logo 204x204Description: Every new day for a Christian is another chance to walk in the excitement of the Lord Jesus’ promise that He is going to come again to call us into His presence. If that doesn’t put a smile on your face then you should open the Scriptures and soak in them until you find that blessed inner joy.

A song has the words:

“…And the things of life will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.”

If you haven’t realized that yet, maybe this message will help make it personal for you.

The New Life in Christ [Colossians 3]

December 6, 2015

Sermon Notes

Date: 12/06/2015

Preacher: Jim Allen, pastor

Key Text: Colossians 3

Description: Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, we welcome a preacher whom we rarely see, but hear all the time: Jim Allen. In today’s sermon, Jim turns to Colossians 3 as a point of reference for recognizing that when we are raised up in Christ, our earthly death in the eyes of God is really of very little significance.

Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory. (Colossians 3:1-4)”

Jim pastored our little country church from the late 1990’s to 2003. You can listen to our ever-groSBC logo 204x204wing archive of his sermons in our SBC Classic Edition (Check the right hand column of our website to see what’s currently available). You can also find the “Present Day” Jim Allen on his blog at GraceForLaw.com, where you can listen to some of his more current sermons.

Preacher: Keith Barker, elder

Key Text: 2 Kings 2:9

SBC logo 204x204Description: Every Christian has the indwelling of the Holy Spirit of God; that’s what it means to be “born again.”  Here at Scandia Bible Church, we believe in the total sovereignty of God.  In today’s message on Elijah and Elisha we will see that, in ministry, there is a need beyond being appointed unto salvation. To be active in ministry it’s also necessary to be anointed.

Superficial or Supernatural [James 1:26-27]

September 13, 2015

Keith Barker 2014Sermon Notes

Date: 09/13/2015

Preacher: Keith Barker, elder

Key Text: James 1:26-27

Description: God has built into mankind a void that people desire to fill. Many try to satisfy that need with what they believe to be a relationship with God. The majority of people in the United states would refer to themselves as being religious. The father of lies, Satan, is well aware of man’s emptiness and has many false religions to meet that need. Today we are going to see in the Book of James the clear difference between superficial religion and supernatural religion. At the conclusion of the message, the listener is challenged to do a self test. It’s a chance to see if you indeed are a born again Christian.
