Clearview Today with Dr. Abidan ShahClearview Today with Dr. Abidan ShahThursday, July 24 | Assurance in SufferingSuffering doesn't discriminate — it touches every life, no matter who we are. In today’s episode, we explore how Romans 8 presents suffering not as a sign of abandonment, but as a gateway to assurance. Centered on the powerful “Golden Chain” of salvation, Paul shows us that those whom God foreknew, He also predestined, called, justified, and glorified — and this unbreakable sequence offers deep comfort in our trials. Join us as we reflect on how suffering unites us in our human experience, but also draws us into the eternal promise of God’s unshakable purpose.Send us a textS...2025-07-2429 minClearview Today with Dr. Abidan ShahClearview Today with Dr. Abidan ShahThursday, June 26 | How the Spirit Helps Us AbideIn this episode of *Clearview Today*, we explore the deep connection between Paul’s words in **Romans 8** and Jesus’ teaching in **John 15**, where He says, *“I am the vine, you are the branches.”* Both passages center on one powerful truth: we are called to abide in Christ, and we can only do that through the help of the Holy Spirit. Paul shows us that the Spirit dwells in us, leads us, and empowers us to live the life God has called us to—just as Jesus told His disciples that fruitfulness only comes by remaining in Him. This isn’t about stri...2025-06-2629 minClearview Today with Dr. Abidan ShahClearview Today with Dr. Abidan ShahTuesday, June 24 | The Muscle-Memory of SinIn this episode of *Clearview Today*, we’re talking about how easy it is to fall back into sin—even when we know better. Like muscle memory, old habits and thought patterns can creep back in before we realize it. The Apostle Paul captures this struggle perfectly in Romans 8 when he says, *“The good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.”* Why is it so hard to break free from sin? What hope do we have in the midst of the struggle? Join us as we unpack t...2025-06-2429 minSermons by Dr. Abidan ShahSermons by Dr. Abidan ShahSpirit-Minded (Pt. 2) Delve into the profound work of the Holy Spirit transforming the depths of our hearts, setting us free from the bondage of sin and death!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.

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 power and influence of sin in this world. Paul was no stranger to this war within the heart of every believer....2025-05-1154 minSermons by Dr. Abidan ShahSermons by Dr. Abidan ShahSinful Flesh 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 feels good in the moment?

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 greatly shape the way we see end-times prophecy. God’s wrath is a difficult concept.

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 change our perspective of end-times prophecy? We will answer these questions and more in this message.What is your view...2025-03-1648 minClearview Today with Dr. Abidan ShahClearview Today with Dr. Abidan ShahMonday, March 10th | The New Perspective on Paul and Other New MethodologiesIn this episode of Clearview Today, Dr. Shah tackles some different perspectives on studying the New Testament and what they do for our doctrine.Send us a textSupport the showIf you enjoy the show, be sure to like and follow our Facebook and Instagram pages.

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 should function and believe.As we celebrate communion together this weekend, Paul’s letter to the Romans is especially relevant.

Walking around in Philippi last week, I was reminded of Paul’s words to the Philippians, telling them that the things he previously pursued were no longer of value to him. They paled in comparison to a relationship with Christ. Paul’s words helped the Philippians and countless others throughout history to think rightly about life, Christ, and our relationship with him.

In this message, we take a look at the life of Daniel. Daniel could be called the Paul of the Old Testament. He was above all else a soul-winner. As a culture, we have forgotten that there are rewards in heaven for those who are faithful and seek to win the lost to Christ. Are you a soul-winner? Do you understand what rewards are waiting for you? Are you saved? 2020-05-0339 minSermons by Dr. Abidan ShahSermons by Dr. Abidan ShahHeart Search The Corinthians were treating each other hatefully during the Communion part of the Love Feast. What was supposed to be a somber moment became a shameful display. Paul had to chastise them and take them back to the fateful night when Jesus celebrated the final Communion with his disciples. Paul commands the Corinthians to examine their hearts and to see if they are ready to take part of such a great meal. 2020-04-1238 minSermons by Dr. Abidan ShahSermons by Dr. Abidan ShahRedirected We often have a very poor notion of what is and isn't from the Holy Spirit. We live our lives, thinking that we are guided by the Spirit when truly we are living based on emotional whims. In this week's sermon, we take a closer look at how the Holy Spirit redirected Paul's life and changed his plans to match the Lord's. If you're obedient, you can take comfort that the Holy Spirit is truly guiding your life. Have you concluded that God is in control of your life, and he is redirecting your life for the best?

As a church, we are called to be a shining light for people in the world. We impact people by being trustworthy, joyful, and hopeful. Those were the marks the Philippian church had. How about you? What impact have you made on the lives of those around you? A major reason for the positive impact was that the Philippians were saved. Paul calls them “saints in Christ Jesus.” Are you “in” Christ Jesus?

We come to the end of Paul's description of love in 1 Corinthians 13 and we find the phrase "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails." When you truly love someone, it brings them a sense of freedom, knowing that you will always cover and support them. Do people feel liberated by you or do they feel like a prisoner? Do you understand the freedom we have in God's love for us?

"Love does not envy" means that in love, you are genuinely happy at the success of others. Instead, most of us are bitten by the green-eyed monster and we sinfully desire what others have, from their lifestyle to their family and more. Are you cheering others on with the love of Christ? Do you understand how much God loves you? Are you saved? 2017-07-0942 minHoi PolloiHoi PolloiEpisode 17: Running the Race (ft.
