Sermons by Dr. Abidan Shah

I want to explore the book of Romans further, specifically focusing on time. As humans, we understand time in a very linear sense. However, our understanding should shift after we receive Christ. Time is perceived differently, past, present, and future, because God is outside of time. This message will help us understand the fulfillment of God’s promises, especially those to the nation of Israel!...

In this message, we are moving into the second act of our series, focused on Israel and how God still has a heart for his people. There is a lot of conversation around Israel in our world today, and much of it is unprofitable and negative. This message will help us in our understanding of Israel’s place in God’s plan currently and in the future. What is your view of Israel? How do you respond when...

In this message, we will be taking a look at the life and ultimately martyrdom of Stephen in the book of Acts. Nothing is wasted in the Christian life. In fact, some of the darkest moments in history have been the catalyst for the gospel of Jesus Christ being powerfully proclaimed in the world. Salvation demonstrates God's power to bring people from death to life. Have you found yourself wond...

In light of the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, this sermon will be focused on how to leave a godly legacy. What does our life say after we are gone? What impact will our choices, words, and faith have on the generations that follow? How do you see the events in the world today? What will you be remembered for? Are you saved? ~~~~ CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contact DONATE: https://clea...

Church is about much more than just coming and sitting in a pew, listening to the message, and then going home. Church is a place to belong; a family to which we are connected. The gifts and abilities that God gives us are meant to be used to serve the body of Christ. There are lots of ways to do that, but not using those gifts makes it difficult to connect and grow in your faith. Are you serving...

In this message, I want to examine the solution for dysfunction in our relationships. Every relationship experiences conflict at some point. However, how do we protect our relationships from falling apart and truly move toward reconciliation for relationships that have been damaged? The answer might just surprise you! Are there people who have hurt you? What is the condition of your friendships an...

In this message, we will begin a series on dealing with dysfunction in the family. It has become increasingly popular to label families, parents, and upbringing as dysfunctional, and perhaps that is justified. However, many times, we lack an understanding of what true dysfunction looks like. This series will help us understand our own upbringing, its impact on our current worldview, and implicatio...

Sharing a meal together was not a novel concept in the ancient world. In fact, the Romans were known for their lavish banquets. While there are some similarities, the Lord’s Supper is unique among banquets and feasts. There is a much deeper meaning beyond just eating at the same time and in the same place. This is a special tradition for our church family. Pray and ask God to prepare your heart fo...

In this weekend’s message, we will continue the discussion on a Christian’s approach to alcohol and drinking. Our view of alcohol doesn’t just impact us, but those around us, especially those who struggle with addiction. Our actions, even our speech, can become a stumbling block for others. We will talk about how to avoid that and more this weekend. Invite your friends and family to worship with u...

Scholars and laypeople alike have debated this for years. We will uncover how Christians should approach the subject of alcohol and drinking from the Bible.

In this message, we come to one of the potentially troublesome words in Romans 8: predestination. There has been much debate over the years as to what this word actually means and how it impacts our view of God, salvation, and evangelism. Most of the time, the ends of the spectrum that people are familiar with are Calvinism or Arminianism. I believe neither side has gotten it right. Rather, like m...

In this message, we will examine what the Bible says about Christians being involved in the public square. There is a pervasive misunderstanding of what the separation of church and state truly means. People, usually those with an anti-Christian agenda, use this rhetoric to claim that Christians have no place in the political sector. That was never the original intent and is an entirely harmful li...

In this message, we are resuming our study of the Holy Spirit. A few weekends ago, we discussed the Spirit and his role within the Trinity. However, the Holy Spirit ministers to us more than we may realize. There is a reason that Jesus described him as a helper to us. Understanding the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives is critical to our study of end-times prophecy and of the Bible as a whole!...

Join us as we delve into Proverbs 14:4, connecting its wisdom to the Christian life of death, burial, and resurrection in Christ. In this message, I want to talk about what to do when life gets messy. Some people shut down, others get frustrated, still others lash out at those around them, the perceived sources of the mess. However, the mess is simply a sign that life is happening. Making this men...

In this message, we will see that creation itself is eagerly awaiting the return of Christ and its liberation from sin. The world around us experiences the effects of sin in the form of natural disasters, disease, and death. However, there is coming a day when Jesus will return to do away with this distorted creation and usher in a new heavens and new earth. Do you see how sin affects the world ar...

In this message, we will continue our study of the Holy Spirit. Paul writes in Romans that the Holy Spirit serves as our intercessor, going before God the Father on our behalf. Understanding the work of the Holy Spirit is vital to our growth and maturity as believers. Being spirit-minded is how we take our eyes off this world and focus them on Christ. ~~~~ CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contact...

Discover the Holy Spirit's role as the counselor and the comforter that leads us in our daily walk with Christ! In this message, we will take a look at what it means to set your mind upon spiritual things. Our thoughts reveal the posture of our hearts. If your mind perpetually wanders toward carnal desires, it may be that your heart has replaced God with another object of worship or desire. T...

Discover the path from bondage under sin to the liberating freedom found in union with Jesus Christ, and the role of the Holy Spirit! In this message, we will continue to examine the war within us between our old sinful flesh and the Holy Spirit. What we fill ourselves with is where our hearts will lie. If we are focused on the things of this world and of the flesh, that is where our focus will be...

In this message, we will continue to examine this war that takes place within us. While we still experience the effects of sin and death in this world, Christ has won the victory for us, and the Holy Spirit fights our old nature each and every day. That should cause us to rejoice, and yet we still feel the pull toward sin. This message will help us understand how to live in light of the Holy Spiri...

Discover how Romans 7 offers a transformative approach to the Christian struggles of sin and the pursuit of righteousness. In this message, we will continue our study through the book of Romans. Paul has examined the power of sin and the danger of the flesh, likening them to us following old masters back into slavery. Christians have been saved from sin and death, but we still struggle against the...

In this message, we will learn about our own sinful flesh. Much like sin, flesh doesn’t just refer to our physical bodies but rather to a power working against us. We, like Paul, often find ourselves doing things we wish we wouldn’t. Let's learn about the dangers of the flesh and the hope of victory in Jesus. Does your flesh have control over your life? Do you make decisions based on what fee...

In this message, we will dig into a topic that, in my opinion, we often misunderstand: sin. What exactly do we mean when we talk about sin? It is one of those words that begins to lose its meaning the more you say it or are exposed to it. And yet, our understanding of sin affects our view of God’s grace and his goodness in our lives. Even through the prevalence of sin in our world, we can see God...

In this message, as we think about Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection, we will examine what the effects are for us. Adam ushered sin into the world through his disobedience, and death has plagued every generation since. Jesus came to save us from the clutches of sin and death, to bring life and hope to the world. The gift of salvation is full and free, death has been defied, and Jesus is ali...

In this special Good Friday message, we’ll step away from the noise of everyday life and reflect on the moment that changed everything—the day Jesus gave His life for us. Good Friday isn’t just a somber tradition; it’s a day of deep reverence and gratitude. ~~~~ CONNECT: https://clearviewbc.org/contact DONATE: https://clearviewbc.org/give READ: https://a.co/d/b4ScMKM LISTEN: https://podcasts.apple...

In this message, we will turn our attention to the law. Often, people mistakenly think the law was abolished by the coming of Christ. However, understanding the true function of the law is necessary for our understanding of end-times prophecy. Without understanding the law, we can’t truly understand God’s grace in sending Jesus to the cross. Christ came not to destroy the law, but to fulfill it. W...
