Anchored & Advancing

Welcome to Anchored and Advancing from New Beginning Baptist Fellowship. In this sermon Pastor Sieber opens John 15:1–8 and invites listeners to "Abide, Renew, Grow": remain in Christ, allow God’s pruning to renew the heart, and bear much fruit for God’s glory. The message explores the vine imagery—Jesus as the true vine, the Father as the vine dresser, and the practical ways God’s Word and God’s...

Heaven isn’t a theory when you’ve stood beside a tiny casket or watched a loved one live with profound disability. In Lesson 10 of our Heaven Bible Study, we face the hard questions with Scripture: David’s confidence—“I shall go to him” (2 Sam. 12:23)—and Christ’s heart for little ones (Matt. 19:14). God’s justice and mercy are flawless; His grace covers those incapable of responsible choice, and...

Jesus sees more than reputation—He sees reality. In Revelation 2:18–20, the Son of God with eyes “like unto a flame of fire” praises Thyatira’s “works…charity…service…faith…patience,” and says “the last to be more than the first” (Rev 2:19). Part 1 highlights what Jesus commends: gospel-driven mercy, compassionate ministry, and steady endurance—while warning that love must never become tolerance o...

In Ruth 1:1–6, God exposes a Judges-era culture where “every man did…right in his own eyes” (Judg 21:25) and death multiplies. Yet “the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread” (Ruth 1:6). This sermon calls the church to be a true “house of bread”: unapologetically pro-life, compassionate to the wounded, and practical in crisis—while holding fast that God works in the womb (Ps 139:13) and...

Heaven is not clouds and boredom—it is life as God always intended. In this study, we explore what eternity will truly be like: a restored creation filled with worship, meaningful work, perfected relationships, and joyful service. Scripture reveals a future where the curse is gone, Christ reigns, His servants serve Him, and every good gift—music, purpose, and fellowship—is fulfilled forever in His...

Safeguarding the Church from the Enemy — Revelation 2:12–17 What happens when a church stands where Satan dwells? In His letter to Pergamos, Jesus Christ appears with a sharp two-edged sword, commending faithfulness under pressure while confronting tolerated compromise within. This message calls believers to hold fast His Name, reject doctrinal corruption, repent where truth has been softened, and...

In Ruth 1:1–5, a real famine exposes a deeper one—spiritual starvation in “the days when the judges ruled.” This message traces what spiritual famine looks like in a nation and a home, and why you can’t outrun it by fleeing to “Moab.” But hope breaks in: “the LORD… visited his people in giving them bread” (Ruth 1:6). The cure is God’s Word, repentance, and the Redeemer—pointing to Jesus Christ, th...

Heaven is not escape—it is Christ’s coming Kingdom. In this lesson from Luke 19:11–27 (KJV), Jesus corrects the false hope of an immediate Kingdom, then commands His servants, “Occupy till I come.” The King went away to receive a Kingdom, but He will return, call His servants to account, reward faithfulness, and judge rebels who say, “We will not have this man to reign over us.” Your hope is not v...

Be Encouraged (Safeguarding the Church #8) — Revelation 2:8–11. Christ, “the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive,” speaks to the suffering church at Smyrna. He knows our “tribulation” and “poverty, (but thou art rich),” warns of trials, and says, “Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer” and “be thou faithful unto death.” Stand fast in His rewards: “I will give thee a crown...

In a land where “there was no king in Israel” and “every man did that which was right in his own eyes” (Judg. 21:25), Ruth opens “in the days when the judges ruled” (Ruth 1:1). This sermon traces the downward spiral of Judges—covenant amnesia, compromised worship, and social chaos—then shows Ruth as God’s quiet mercy in dark times. From famine and funerals to fields and hope, through Naomi, Ruth,...

Crossing Jordan: Preparing Your Heart for God’s New Thing (Joshua 3:3–13). As we face 2026, Joshua’s call still stands: “Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you” (Josh. 3:5). Learn how consecration fuels expectation, how faith gets its feet wet, and how obedience steps into the river before it parts. Quit clinging to yesterday—follow the Ark and cross forward.

On the Emmaus road (Luke 24:13–21), two weary disciples walk in sorrow—until Jesus draws near. Though their eyes were holden, He opens the Scriptures, fits the whole counsel of God together, and their hearts burn within them. Learn how Christ gives spiritual discernment when we see Him through Scripture in context—“comparing spiritual things with spiritual”—and be called to seek Him with all your...

The Christ of Christmas went to the Cross on purpose—and He keeps His people on purpose. In Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer (John 17:1–5), “the hour” arrives: glory through Calvary, eternal life through knowing the Father and the Son. He doesn’t promise escape; He prays, “keep them,” and He keeps by sanctifying us through His Word. Walk into the new year held by His hand and anchored in His truth.

The Light Has Come (Luke 2:1–7) leads us to Bethlehem’s manger, where God was manifest in the flesh (1 Timothy 3:16). In humble poverty, the eternal King entered history to bring light, life, and peace with God. Angels declared “good tidings of great joy,” and shepherds hurried to see the Saviour, Christ the Lord. This Christmas Eve message calls every heart to worship, receive Him, and proclaim H...

The cost of Christmas was infinitely high—it is a manger shadowed by a cross. In Luke 2:25–35 Simeon blesses the Child, then warns Mary: “Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also.” This sermon shows how Christmas and Calvary cannot be separated: the Lamb came to die, and following Him will cost us, too. Stand by the cross unashamed, and find “the peace of God, which passeth all understa...

Human promises fail, but God’s never do. In Luke 1:30–33 Gabriel announces the Virgin-born King: “He shall be great… and of his kingdom there shall be no end.” Hear the Divine Interruption in Nazareth the Impossible Promise, and Mary’s surrender: “Be it unto me according to thy word” (Luke 1:38). His death paid for sin; His resurrection proves His Word. “For with God nothing shall be impossible” (...

In 2 Corinthians 5:8–10 we are “absent from the body… present with the Lord,” yet “we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.” This is not terror for the saved—“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 8:1)—but a holy evaluation of our works, for reward or loss. Live as stewards, for His glory.

Join Pastor Seiber as he preaches a Christmas sermon from Isaiah 53, for without Christmas, there would be no cross. 

Micah foretold the Bethlehem-born King whose “goings forth have been from…everlasting” (Micah 5:2). This sermon traces the paradox: the Judge smitten, yet the Shepherd-King who “shall stand and feed” (Micah 5:4) and “shall be the peace” (Micah 5:5). From the manger to the millennial throne, you’ll see Israel’s remnant restored, the last rebel crushed, and all false trust cut off—so sinners stop le...

What did humanity lose in Eden—and what will Christ restore? In this lesson, we trace the origin of sin, the spread of the Curse, and God’s first gospel promise in Genesis 3:15. Discover how Jesus, the last Adam, breaks sin’s power, lifts the Curse, and will one day renew our bodies and the whole creation. Hope for a world made new in Christ.

In this Advent message from Isaiah 7:14, we explore the miracle of the virgin birth and the name Immanuel—God with us. Christmas is about a willing Savior, born to a willing virgin, coming to rescue an unwilling people from their sin and unbelief. Walk through the fear of King Ahaz, the promised sign, and the glory of God taking on flesh so that He might dwell with us, suffer for us, save us forev...

Why did Jesus have to come? In this Christmas message from Genesis 3, we trace the first promise of the Gospel—the Seed of the woman who would crush the serpent’s head. See the catastrophe of the Fall, the mercy of God’s promise, and the cross that proves our salvation. Christmas only makes sense in the light of Eden.

What will you look like forever? In this lesson from 1 Corinthians 15:51–53, we unpack God’s promise of a real, recognizable, glorified resurrection body patterned after Christ’s own. Learn what will be removed, what will remain, and what will be perfected—and how this certain hope speaks to pain, aging, disability, grief, and fear, reshaping how you suffer, serve, worship, and follow Christ today...

In this lesson, we open Revelation 21:1–3 to explore what happens between death and resurrection. Where do believers go the moment they die—and where will we live forever? Discover the difference between the present Heaven and the eternal New Earth, why our final home matters now, and how to face death with confident, Christ-centered hope.

In this devotional from 1 Thessalonians 5:18 and 1 Corinthians 4:2, we explore how giving thanks in everything and being found faithful belong together. Learn how gratitude in trials, daily obedience, and trust in God’s sovereignty shape a holy life that points others to Christ.
