Sermons by Dr. Abidan Shah

God wants the life of Jesus the vine to flow through us the branches and bear fruits that will be a blessing to others. The branch doesn’t consume its own fruits. One more thing: All we must do is abide in Jesus, and he promises to bring forth the fruits. The branch doesn’t stress about bearing fruits either.

Times of testing are inevitable for the church, even for individual believers. Smyrna was facing tremendous hardship and was in danger of falling to the pressure and fear of persecution. God reminded them of the importance of standing up under that pressure and remaining faithful. Every trial has a lifecycle and then follows the evaluation. Instead of walking in fear, we must walk in faith, and we...

Christ is all-sufficient for all our essential needs. He is not just one among many sources. He is not just next in line of the many sources. He is not just better than all the other sources. He is the only true, promised, and ultimate source of all-sufficiency.

This weekend, we are looking at the church in Ephesus. Jesus brings a serious charge against them: they have lost their first love. They were checking all the right boxes but for all the wrong reasons.… What do you believe about Jesus? Do you have a healthy fear and reverence for God, or do you treat your relationship with him as an option? Are you saved?

This weekend, we are focusing on not only the assessment of these seven churches but the credentials of the one performing the assessment: Jesus Christ. John goes into great detail about who Jesus is and why he is qualified to offer this judgment on the seven churches. We often forget that while God is loving and merciful, he is also holy and just. The title of this weekend’s message is “CHURCH-AU...

In light of Mother’s Day, I want to preach a special message not just for moms, but for all parents. Children are God’s gift to us and as parents, we have such a precious few years to impact them. At times, parenting can be overwhelming, confusing, or even frustrating. However, God’s Word helps us not only lead our children but count it a privilege to do so. The title of this weekend’s message is...

As we embark upon this theme of “Abundant” in the new year, it is vital that we know that “Abiding is the key to Abundance.” It is only when we remain in Christ by loving and obeying him that we bear much fruit.

We were created to walk in fellowship with God. Unfortunately, sin has separated us from him, leaving us stranded alone. Jesus came to reconcile us to God through his sacrifice on the cross. He is Immanuel, God with us.

The great reset has begun (per Klaus Schwab), while some were busy complying. Among other things, it has fundamentally altered the meaning of right and wrong. Morality has taken on a new basis. Many were discussing or warning about the dangers of this trend. Now, it is here, and it’s spreading. Those who understand what’s happening and are willing to educate themselves and stand against it will re...

The good news of salvation is that Jesus not only came to take the penalty of our sins, but he also came to free us from the repercussions of sin. Shame and blame, anger and fear, stubbornness and bitterness, little white lies and big fat lies, selfishness and self-worship are all coming from the Garden. The gospel also helps us overcome them.

The ultimate rivalry is between Jesus and Satan. Unlike earthly rivalries, Satan is no match for Jesus. While Satan is just a fallen created being, Jesus is God’s Son, the King of kings, and he has already won the victory.

Believing in Jesus Christ as Savior and King takes us on a road of discovery to a deeper understanding of who he is. The Word of God, especially the Gospel of John, is full of rich meaning of who Christ is and what he has done for us. The better we come to know him, the more we are compelled to love and obey him. ~~~~ CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contact DONATE: clearviewbc.org/give READ: http...

Biblical Marriage is a two-person team where the husband leads by sacrificial love and the wife submits with godly respect. This is only possible where both have put on Christ, and the Spirit of Christ fills and empowers them.

Life is wonderful, but it has been damaged by the fall. We try to enjoy life with the right foot, but repeatedly we are reminded by the left foot that not all of life is wonderful. Therefore, Jesus came – to fix what was damaged in the Garden of Eden.

God wants us to simply trust and obey him. Failure to trust and obey God leads to sin. Sin is senseless. It only brings death. Through Christ, we have forgiveness and the power to conquer sin.

Jesus is the Door of the Sheep. He doesn’t come to trick us or trap us. He comes through the door, calling our name, and leads us out. He goes before us, and we follow him because we know his voice. When we enter through him, we not only find salvation, but we also find fullness of life. ~~~~ CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contact DONATE: clearviewbc.org/give READ: https://www.amazon.com/30-Days...

In life, people lack the right skills and a sense of discernment, and they make foolish and costly decisions. Skillful living comes when we turn to God for wisdom and guidance. More specifically, true wisdom is Christ. When he becomes our life, we begin to live skillfully.

Jesus is the Light of the World. When we find ourselves worn down by life’s journey, he refreshes us. He fills us with joy and gladness. He quenches our every thirst. He lifts us up when we feel broken, and he gives us his vision for life.

This message is part 2 of our message titled “DEBT” in our series on the parables of Jesus. It’s about God’s forgiveness of our sin debt through Christ and our forgiveness of the sin debt of others towards us. Here’s the message in a nutshell: Through Christ, you can forgive anyone for anything but it’s a journey in which reconciliation may or may not be possible. Is there unforgiveness in your he...

Jesus is the Bread of Life. When we place our faith in him, he becomes our sustenance through life. He nourishes us before our darkest hours and through the longest wilderness. He leads us in the truth of God and reveals to us the wisdom of God. He is sufficient to carry us into eternal life. ~~~~ CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contact DONATE: clearviewbc.org/give READ: https://www.amazon.com/30...

Unless you understand how God has canceled your sin debt towards him through his son Jesus, you will never truly understand how to cancel the sin debt of others towards you. Are you the servant who was forgiven a big debt but went out and took his fellow servant by the throat for a small debt? Have you ever experienced the forgiveness of sins? Are you saved?

Jesus Christ, our Great High Priest, is bone of our bone and partaker of our flesh and blood. His very body that was placed in the tomb on Good Friday rose from the tomb on Easter Sunday. It was imperishable and immortal, not invisible and immaterial. If all this is not true, then the gospel is false and all hope is lost. ~~~~ CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contact DONATE: clearviewbc.org/give R...
