Mission Bible Church

Pastor Bryan Lamb explains the importance of prayer through the lens of Psalm 23.

Pastor Desmond Outlaw outlines the necessary importance of prayer in the life of a believer, focusing on commitment, discipline, and confidence in prayer, illustrated through various texts.

There's no way Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, and townspeople could have fully understood all that was transpiring when Jesus was born into a Bethlehem stable. But the author of Hebrews displays for us, with unparalleled beauty, the supernatural purposes and magnificent blessings of God's Son coming to earth. 

All of us go through seasons of doubt and despair where our first response is to search out an answer, asking, "What should I do?" or "What is the answer?" But in this message, we see that the solution to life's great problem is not a "What" but rather a "Who." 

In December 2023, TIME Magazine dubbed Taylor Swift their person of the year, stating she's become the world's "light" in darkness. As with every generation, the Bible reminds us of the true Light, the Redeemer who solves mankind's woes with eternal answers. 

In times of social or personal despair, it's easy to forget that our God is all sovereign, all knowing, and all loving, and that no matter how discouraging our circumstances, everything is absolutely guaranteed to culminate for His glory and our good. 

In this compelling finale to Paul's letter, he warns young Timothy not to fall in line with early prosperity preachers, men who proclaimed the truth only for their personal gain. 

Everything rises and falls on leadership. Due to the precious nature of the Church being Christ's bride, trustworthy leaders should be joyfully supported, while immoral leaders must be strongly and immediately disciplined. 

How we see people impacts how we treat people, and in this compelling chapter Paul reminds Timothy that the church is a "family", a large group of fathers, mothers, sisters, and brothers, requiring each member to care for others accordingly. 

Paul continues to lay out the marks of a healthy church, which includes a body of believers who recognize they're saved to serve, fulfilling special and important works which God prepared for them from before time. 

In order to help Timothy respond to the alarming apostasy of Ephesus, Paul details the internal and external qualities of a minister who perseveres to protect the church of Christ. 

Far too many evangelicals follow a pastor based on his popularity, magnetism, humor, business acumen, or political ties. But Paul says it is not these external characteristics that Christians should desire in a leader at all. Rather, as we will see in this sermon, they should follow leaders based on 15-traits of spiritual ministry set forth by God. 

Encouraging his timid young protege, Paul reminds Timothy that the first sign of a healthy church will be the depth and breadth of people's prayer life; specifically, in how they share the desire of God to save people from all walks of life saved, ushering them into the family of God. 

In this sermon, Jonny Ardavanis looks at three precious truths from Psalm 46: God is our refuge, God is our strength, and God is an ever-present help in times of trouble. Are you facing a trial? Is there something that keeps you up at night? Is there something that you are afraid of? Then listen to the truths the psalmist declares about our great God.

After leaving young Timothy to pastor in Ephesus, Paul heard of men teaching falsely and creating strife. In response, he sends a letter to his young son in the faith demanding he uphold the crystalline truths of the Gospel and protect the church from error. 

In this sermon, Pastor Desmond Outlaw discusses how we are to pursue a life entirely unto God's glory. What does a life full of godly ambition amount to? What is its nature, goal, and extent?

As a rule, Christians obey the government as peaceful and non-violent citizens. Yet, because their supreme allegiance remains to Christ, there are exceptions to the rule, and they must discern when and how they are to civilly disregard government, in order to maintain a pure conscience before God.

Since the 1980's humanism has been the only worldview allowed in the public education system, and three generations of Americans have been taught that truth, right, and wrong are meaningless. Yet, the Scriptures are clear that each Christian parent must steward their child's education in a way that immerses him or her in a biblical worldview. 

Since the sexual revolution of the 1960's America has degraded into every form of sexual sin, to the point now that lawmakers legislate perversity upon our children. In this message, we discuss three levels of God's judgment upon a wicked society, and how Christians must respond.

In this sermon, we review the 50-year slaughter of unborn babies in America, and examine what the Bible says about the miracle, dignity, and uniqueness of human life. 

The foundation of biblical anthropology, including matters of life, gender, marriage, and parenting, is the understanding that God created the heavens and the earth. In this sermon we evaluate the modern religion of naturalism, and how beliefs based in Darwinian evolution have destroyed the western world along with many evangelical churches.

What attitude is supposed to govern us as Christians when evangelizing to the world?

In this sermon, Pastor Albert Kilgore discusses the goodness of God. Let it be a reminder that God's goodness is unchanging and worthy of continual meditation.

The great battlefield of the mind is where Christians win and lose their spiritual joy and vitality daily. In this message Pastor Tony guides us through a summary of the inner-man, to help us learn the importance of biblical thinking, a clear conscience, right response, and Godward affections. 

In this concluding chapter, Paul commands the Christians to turn from their selfish pride and personal desires to instead "think bigger" about their support of God's work around the world; including, missionaries, faithful pastors, and their fellow church members.
