Sermons by Dr. Abidan Shah

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...

In this message, we will examine the concept of faith. It is a common term in Christian circles, but what is faith truly, and how does it impact our understanding of salvation? Paul has much to say on the matter. Faith was an integral part of the formation of the early church and their understanding of the work of Christ on the cross. This message will help us understand the role of faith in our r...

In this message, we are learning about the wrath of God. We may have a concept of what the wrath of God entails, but for many of us, it is a poor or incomplete understanding. Because people lack understanding of God’s wrath, they suppress the truth Paul writes much on the wrath of God through the book of Romans. How we understand God’s wrath in the context of history and present events will greatl...

In this message, we will examine God's righteousness as outlined by Paul in the book of Romans. What does it mean that God is a righteous and that we are made righteous? Understanding what Paul means in this context is critical in our approach to end-times prophecy. None of us can achieve righteousness on our own. It is a gift of God. But what is the nature of that gift and how should it chan...

The judgement of God is not something we discuss often, but it is a necessary part of his nature. Seeing the judicial language in Romans points ahead to God's coming judgement in the book of Revelation. When we operate with the judgment of God in mind, it gives a sense of urgency in sharing the gospel with those around us! Do you understand that there is a judgement coming? What verdict will...

In this message, we will continue to trace God’s providential plan throughout history. God worked of course with his people throughout the Bible, but his hand can be seen in the rise and fall of many different nations, civilizations, and kingdoms. While history has had many different eras, God’s hand has consistently been guiding this world through time. Today is no different and as we head toward...

This weekend, we will continue to examine God’s design throughout history. In his letter to the Romans, Paul is holding up the Roman believers as an example to others. His letter is unique in that he does not seem to be addressing a particular situation or controversy but rather provides a guide of core beliefs for all Christians. In doing so, he offers a guide for us today on how the church shoul...

As we head back into our End-Times Prophecy series, I want to focus on tracing God's plan throughout history. Since time began, God has been writing the story of creation. While things might seem out of control at times, the Bible reminds us that God has always been and will always be in control. End-times prophecy reminds us especially of God's sovereignty and his providence both in our...

In this message, I want to take a break from our series. Nicole and I just celebrated 30 years of marriage on our anniversary this year. We have learned much, and there are many things we wish we had known years ago, but God in his timing and his grace has protected our marriage over the years, leading us to these important truths that we believe will be a blessing to everyone, married or single!...

This message marks the beginning of our study of end-times prophecy! This series will shape our church and our understanding of God's plan. While we will spend a considerable amount of time in Revelation, this weekend I want us to begin by looking at the book of Romans. We cannot rightly understand end-times without first grasping the relationship between God and the nation of Israel. God has...

In this message, we will examine the concept of evangelism. When people hear evangelism, they automatically begin drawing conclusions about what that should look like. While there are several good approaches to sharing the gospel, the practice of evangelism is one that is frequently side-lined in the Christian life. Evangelism is not only a key component of the Christian life, but vital for our un...

In this message, we will examine the concept of biblical community. This is coming from God's Word but also from the desires we have heard from many of you. The Christian life was never intended to be lived in isolation but among a family of brothers and sisters. This message will chart a course for us moving forward and reorient us to residing alongside one another. The title of this message...

In this message, we will continue this introductory series to prophecy by looking at the importance of worship. Worship is much more than a specific style of music or portion of service. It is also a prominent theme in the Book of Revelation. Worship defines us as believers and is one of our core values here at Clearview. The title of this message is "FOREVER WORSHIP" Do you understand t...

This weekend, we will continue this introductory series to prophecy by looking at the importance of prayer. As you may know, this weekend is our 24-Hour Prayer Vigil. Prayer changes things, namely the person doing the praying! The title of this weekend's message is "PRAYING SAINTS" Are you struggling to maintain a consistent, dynamic prayer life? Do you understand the role of prayer...

As we end one year and look to the beginning of anther, I want to preach a series of messages that will help set the tone for our church family not only in 2025, but also in this new phase of our church's life. It can be easy to focus on the difficulties or challenges of life. However, through Christ, we have all we need to not only survive adversity but to thrive in God's perfect plan....
