Sermons by Dr. Abidan Shah

Throughout Scripture, we are met with examples of men and women who continued in faithful service in the face of adversity, one of the most notable examples being Paul in his journeys. With our ministry expo this weekend, we have the opportunity to display the same obedience in our lives. The title of this message is “DEVOTED”. Are you facing a difficult season in life? Do you actively serve the L...

In this message, we will be diving into the subject of prayer. We will learn some common misconceptions about prayer and take a look at what the Bible says our prayer lives ought to look like. Prayer is a vital part of our spiritual health and if neglected, can produce some harsh consequences. The title of this message is “INTERCEDE.” How is your prayer life? Do you struggle to have consistent tim...

This weekend, we are celebrating communion together. This is a family meal, reminding us of what Christ has done and who we are in him. The churches in Revelation missed this principle. Communion unifies us and refocuses us on the truth of the gospel. We cannot afford to misunderstand or misrepresent the Lord’s Supper and risk going the way of those seven churches. The title of this weekend’s mess...

In this sermon, we are examining the seventh and final church in the book of Revelation: Laodicea. Of all the churches, this one is the most well-known, likely because of the language used. The church is called “lukewarm” and Jesus says he will vomit them out of his mouth. What does it mean to be lukewarm and what is the message for us today? The title of this message is “CHURCH-AUTOPSY: NAUSEOUS....

In this sermon, we are examining the sixth church in the book of Revelation: Philadelphia. The church was doing many things well but was locked in fear and failed to take opportunities that God presented them. Fear can blind us to God’s plan and prevent us from stepping out in obedience. That was true for the church in Philadelphia; is it true for you as well? The title of this message is “CHURCH-...

In this message, we are studying the fourth church listed in Revelation: Thyatira. Thyatira was a serving and loving church, but they tolerated sinful influence. Sometimes it is easier to quietly obey God than to call out and denounce sin. Yet, is this how God has called us to live? We ought to love what God loves and hate what he hates. This message is titled “CHURCH-AUTOPSY: BEDRIDDEN.” Are you...

The call to be a disciple is not some special or exclusive class of Christianity. It is the normal Christian life. The reason many believers are missing the mark is because we have decided what is essential and what is optional when it comes to following Christ. There are no such categories in the gospel.

If we truly understand its biblical foundation and the work of the founding fathers, we will understand, appreciate, preserve, and protect it. I want to preach a special message on the inspiration behind America: the Lycian League. The Lycian League was the first known republic in the world, where the people were governed by elected officials. This concept was not revived again until the foundatio...

God the Father prunes and cultivates us in order that we may bear more fruit. He also removes the dead branches that appear to be connected to the vine but are not. To reject Christ is to be severed from him forever. On the contrary, to receive Christ is to be sealed unto him forever with abundant fruits.

Bad theology can mutilate the church body. The church in Pergamum on the surface was holding up against persecution and false teaching. However, twisted and harmful teachings had begun to creep into the church and twist the doctrine. Wrong doctrine is harmful to every area of our lives because it corrupts and distorts what we believe about God. Refusal to stop false doctrine is to incur the wrath...

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.
