PV Bible AlivePastor Hays' 20 Year Anniversary MessageIt's hard to believe that I've pastored in this church for 20 years. In this message, I take a look back over my history with the church, and ask the question; What will the next 20 years bring?2023-02-2643 minPV Bible AliveArt Hays The Sounds of Grace John 8:1-11This is a sermon by my late father; Art Hays. The message is about the woman who was taken in adultery. The quality of the recording isn't the greatest, but I hope you are blessed by it none-the-less.2022-03-1640 minPV Bible AliveEnd Times episode 5In this episode, I go over the top ten reasons why I believe that the rapture of the Church will not happen until after the Tribulation.In other words, ten reasons why I believe that Christians will go through the Tribulation.2021-08-021h 29PV Bible AliveEnd Times episode 4We have already discussed the chronology of end-times events laid out in Jesus' Olivet Discourse. Now we are starting our look at the book of Revelation, and its order of events.2021-07-261h 24PV Bible Alive1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 A People of WorkAs we continue in this study of Paul's letter to the church in Thessalonica, we discover more about who Christians are to be. The people of the Church are to be a people of Work. They should stand out in their communities as hard-working people. Paul gives three commands in this passage; lead a quiet life, attend to your own business, and work with your hands. 2021-07-2249 minPV Bible AliveThe End Times; Are We There Yet? episode 3This is a continuation of our initial study of Matthew 24: Jesus Olivet Discourse on the End Times. In this study you will get a thorough understanding of why I believe that the Rapture of the Church will not happen until after the 7 year Tribulation.2021-07-191h 23PV Bible Alive1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 Sexual immorality part 2In part one of this message, we discovered what the Biblical standard for sexuality is. Anything outside of a marriage between one man, and one woman, for life, is sexual immorality. And sexual immorality also includes our thoughts and motives. In part 2 of this message, we look at how Paul advised Christians to uphold this standard. It's one thing to set a high standard of purity, it's another to keep that standard. And keeping it begins with changing the way that you think.2021-07-1259 minPV Bible Alive1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 Sexual immoralityAccording to Paul's letter to the church in Thessalonica, Christians are supposed to "abstain from sexual immorality." Christians are supposed to be a sexually pure people. Well, what does that mean today? We will discover that in this message from 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8.2021-07-1048 minPV Bible AliveEnd Times episode 2In this second podcast around the topic; "The End Times; Are We There Yet?" we are addressing two questions; What is the one sign that will indicate that the last 7 years of history before the return of Christ has begun, and what are our rules of study for this topic.2021-07-051h 12PV Bible Alive1 Thessalonians 3 Suffering and SovereigntyThis is the concluding message about "The Church; A People of Joy." In all of the messages, I have emphasized that what you believe impacts your joy. One belief we discussed was your beliefs about time and space. If you believe that this life now is all that there is, then if your present life is bad, and there is no possibility of changing it, then you can have no joy. But if you believe that this life is just a very short prelude to an eternity in heaven, then the pain of this life is...2021-06-301h 20PV Bible AliveEnd Times episode 1 attempt 2Second attempt2021-06-281h 04PV Bible AliveThe End Times; Are We There Yet? episode 1We began a Zoom Bible study on Sunday evenings for our church. The subject is the end of the world according to the Bible.To be more specific, I wanted to lay out the chronology of events regarding what's called the Tribulation, the Second Coming of Christ, the judgment, and the 1000 year reign of Christ.In this episode we answered the question, "What is the one sign that indicates that the 7 year Tribulation has begun? And the answer is the rise of the antichrist.2021-06-281h 04PV Bible Alive1 Thessalonians 2:17-20 Joy part 4As Christians, what we choose as our priorities will either increase or decrease our joy. If we choose to put ourselves first; our desires, our needs, we will not experience joy, but rather, discontent.A Christian's priorities are to be; Jesus first, Others second, and Yourself third. 2021-06-2347 minPV Bible Alive1 Thessalonians 2:17-20 Joy part 3As we continue in this study of 1 Thessalonians we are discovering that the Church is supposed to be a people of joy and that our joy comes out of our beliefs.The beliefs that we are starting with today concern life priorities. A Christian will not have joy if their priorities are out of sync with Biblical priorities. And Biblical priorities are simple; put Jesus first, Others second, and Yourself third, then you can have JOY.2021-06-231h 18PV Bible Alive1 Thessalonians 2:17-20 Joy part 2In our continued look at what the Church is supposed to be, we discovered that the Church is supposed to be a people of joy. But our joy is affected by what we believe. In part one of this sermon, we discovered that what we believe about time and space impacts our joy. In this message, we learn that what we believe about our enemy, Satan, impacts our joy. We learn three truths here about Satan; he is active in this world, we have to discern between the work of Satan and the work of God...2021-06-211h 01PV Bible Alive1 Thessalonians 2:13-3:17 A People of JoyThe Church is supposed to be a people of joy. That would seem to be a statement that could go without being said. But, very often, we find those who call themselves "the Church" to be dour and mournful, not joyful.There are plenty of reasons to grieve about the spiritual condition of our world. But there are also many reasons to be joyful. We are continuing in our study of 1 Thessalonians by looking at chapters 2 through 3; The Church, A People of Joy. 2021-05-3051 minPV Bible Alive1 Thessalonians 2:13-16 A People of ControversyIf the Church is what it supposed to be, it will be controversial. That is what we learn from Paul's letter to the church in Thessalonica. They received the Word of God preached to them and God changed their lives.There you have the two things that make true Christianity controversial; we believe the Bible to be God's Word, and we live our lives by it. And the world hates that.2021-05-2954 minPV Bible Alive1 Thessalonians 2:1-12 A Self-sacrificial peopleIn this passage of Scripture we are continuing with the theme; What the Church is supposed to be. Here we are given a description of how Paul gave of himself sacrificially to bring the gospel to the church in Thessalonica. He was tender with them like a nursing mother, as a caring father. And that is what the people of the Church are supposed to be; self-sacrificial2021-05-2840 minPV Bible Alive1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 part 4 A People of EncouragementThis is the fourth part of "The Church is Supposed to be a People of Encouragement." This sermon also touches on what the Bible says about Christians and the end times.2021-05-2757 minPV Bible Alive1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 part 3This message is a continuation of the series; Church as it's supposed to be. And the first thing we discovered in Paul's 1st letter to Thessalonica, was that the church is supposed to be a people of encouragement.We're not just talking about encouraging people to be whatever they want to be, or encouraging them to "be the best you, you can be."We encourage each other in our walk to become like Christ. In this sermon, we found encouragement in 3 doctrines of the Church; election, the Holy Spirit, and Our Assurance.2021-04-2847 minPV Bible Alive1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 part 2What is Church supposed to be? Some people think it should be a social welfare organization. Others think it should be a political action committee.But as we study the letter that Paul wrote to the church at Thessalonica, we can uncover the church as it's supposed to be. And the first thing we discover is that the church should be a people of encouragement.2021-04-171h 10PV Bible AliveEaster; What is the Meaning of This?I recently watched some videos on TikTok where a young lady was asking random people on the street, "Why do people celebrate Easter?" She was trying to determine if many people knew that Easter is the day Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave.Sadly, many knew about family gatherings, egg hunts, pastel colors, and chocolate bunnies, some others knew it had something to do with Jesus, but few knew why we celebrate this event.And I suspect that even fewer would know why Christians personally find so much meaning in the d...2021-04-1652 minPV Bible AliveActs 18:1-17 part 1 God's Gifts of EncouragementPart 1: When Paul entered the city of Corinth as recorded in Acts chapter 18, he had hit a low point emotionally. He had been forced out of previous towns before he could solidify the new believers there. He had been dismissed as a fool in Athens. And now he enters the city of Corinth, the "sin city" of the ancient world. The whole place was given over to sexual immorality.

Is it a social welfare organization? We are starting a new study in the Bible book of 1st Thessalonians. And of all the churches that Paul established, the one at Thessalonica best exemplified what a church is supposed to be. So, we are going to look at that 1st century church as an example of what our church at 3430 South Meridian, Wichita, Kansas is supposed to be; The first thing the church is supposed to be is, a people...2021-04-111h 15PV Bible AliveActs 17:13-21 Mars Hill SermonLife is a test, and death is the graduation ceremony.

In this sermon, Paul shares with the people in Athens, what they need to know to pass the test.2021-04-011h 07PV Bible AliveActs 17:1-16 Turning the World Upside Down points 3, 4, and 5Everybody wants their lives to mean something. We all want to make a difference. But sadly, many of us are trying to make a difference in some very shallow ways. We want a cleaner planet. We want to remove offensive things from store shelves.But, in the end, the only lasting difference you can make in the world, is if you change, or you guide someone else to change, from the inside.This message is about some men who were accused of "turning the world upside down."

As Dorothy said to Toto, "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore."For much of my life, we Christians in America had an expectation that society would be hospitable to us, or at least apathetic. But we are now seeing a rise in hostility toward Christian theology and values.But if we have been faithful stu...2021-02-1656 minPV Bible AliveLiving in a World that Hates You; Trust GodThis is the final sermon in this series.

If we are being honest, maybe we never had that control. But if we are Christians, we are given an example in the book of Acts of some people who "turned the world upside down." And they didn't do it with elections, or judges, or legislation. They did it by dedicating themselves to one Cause; the Cause of Christ.In this sermon today, we continue with the story of Paul and...2021-02-061h 04PV Bible AliveArt Hays God's Sovereignty message 3This is the third message that my late father gave in a series about "God's Sovereignty."

Republican vs Democrat, Black vs White, State vs State. And the hostilities have made their way even into what seems to be the most innocent of conversations; mask vs no mask, vaccine vs no vaccine. So, when it seems as though we have lost some of the cultural and political battles in this country, what then is an American Christian to do? We have to move our priorities, passions, time and energy to those things that should have been on the top of our list all along. 2021-01-091h 05PV Bible AliveChristmas According to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John part 2Each of the four gospels has something important to say about Jesus, and the Christmas story. In this episode, we consider Jesus as a man, according to the gospel of Luke, and Jesus as God, according to John.2020-12-311h 12PV Bible AliveChristmas According to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John part 1Many people know that the Christmas story, the birth of Jesus Christ, is only recorded in two of the four gospels; Matthew and Luke. But can the other two gospels, Mark and John, tell us anything about the Christmas story and it's meaning?In this message, I look at how each of the gospels paints a portrait of Jesus. And each of those portraits is important to have a full understanding of this baby who was born 2000 years ago and laid in a manger.2020-12-221h 06PV Bible AliveHow to Live in a World that Hates You; The Word of God How do we live in this world that is drifting farther away from the original core values of this country and people? As a Christian, we used to have certain values in common with most of our neighbors. We all believed in God, the 10 commandments, law and order, our country, and our common history. But now, we find ourselves hated by many around us because of those same values. So what do we do? As Christians we need to get back to the basics; Love, Forgiveness, and for this message, the Word of God. 2020-12-2247 minPV Bible AliveArt Hays The PassoverMy late father, Art Hays, delivered this message before his church participated in a Lord's Supper observance. It was interesting to hear some of the insights he gained as he studied the Passover from the book of Exodus.2020-12-1630 minPV Bible AliveArt Hays "Let the Children Come to Me"In this sermon by my late father, Art Hays, he looks at the passage of Scripture where the disciples are trying to prevent children from coming to Jesus. We need to ask ourselves the question if our actions are preventing our children and grandchildren from coming to a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.2020-12-1422 minPV Bible AliveHow to Live in a World that Hates You; ForgiveThe nation that we've grown up in has changed. It used to be that people treated each other with respect, even if they disagreed. A Christian could believe, and teach that abortion and homosexuality are a sin, and people let them alone. A Christian could believe that God created the world in six days, and those beliefs were a least tolerated.But today, if you express those beliefs or most any Biblical standard, you are scoffed at, impugned, and hated. You are a candidate for a reeducation camp. You are called a racist, bigot, sexist, homophobe.

And in order to run well in a race, you have to lay aside those things that weigh you down. One of those things, for most believers, is "the sin that easily entangles you." What is that? It's that temptation, that sin in your life, that you've struggled with all of your life. For some it may be lust, for others gluttony, and still others struggle with anger.How do you get past that?

His system of thought was disabled, his conclusions about the purpose for his life had been dismantled by two prisoners who had been brought to his jail.Learn the 4 step answer to the question of salvation.2020-11-2449 minPV Bible AliveHow to Live in a World that Hates You: Love Your EnemiesJesus called on His disciples to act differently than the world they were living in. You see, it is normal for people to love the people who love us in return. But it is entirely abnormal to love those who hate us.And we are living in a world where those who would consider themselves enemies of the church and of the people who call themselves Christians, are multiplying.So how do we respond? By blessing those who curse us, doing good to those who hate us, praying for those who persecute us.2020-11-2457 minPV Bible AliveActs 16 The Meaning of LifeWhat is the meaning of life? What is the purpose for our being here? Some invest their lives in the pursuit of goodness, money, or power. But, as the old hymn says, "On Christ, the solid Rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand."While Paul was in Philippi preaching Christ, a number of its citizens have their lives meanings slip away, like the ground falling away from under your feet in a landslide.2020-11-1141 minPV Bible AliveActs 16 Slave GirlThis is part two of "How to be a Liberated Woman." This is the story of a girl who was enslaved in every possible way that anyone can be enslaved. But from eternal appearances she may have appeared to be quite liberated.She is an illustration of how freedom only comes in Jesus Christ.2020-11-1050 minPV Bible AliveActs 16 The Story of LydiaHow to be a Liberated Woman (Or Man)Chapter 16 of Acts tells the story of two women. Both were successful in a chosen field. Both were gifted. Both seemed to be independent of men. But at the end of the day, only one of them was truly liberated.We think liberation comes when we "call our own shots," when we are our own boss, when we are free to make our own choices based on our decisions of what is right and wrong.

When is that? In short, any time government tells you to do something that God's Word says not to do, or any time government tells you not to do something that God tells you to do; you have to follow the higher authority of God's Word.This study has become especially relevant over the last few years in America. Our government has begun encroaching into the life of the church, and into the moral decisions of Christians. And...2020-10-141h 03PV Bible AliveThe Role of Government According to the Bible part 2What is the role of the government according to the Bible? This question makes me think of the common meme; "You had one job, and you couldn't even do that!" The main role of the government according to the Bible is to punish evil and reward good. And in many places around our nation, they are doing the opposite. Rioters are being applauded, and the police are insulted and threatened. Well, in this second study of Romans 13, we dig further into the job of government according to the Bible. And we answer the question, "What kind of law and ord...2020-10-101h 01PV Bible AliveThe Meaning of Baptism in the BibleThere is much confusion over the meaning of baptism as practiced in Christian churches today. Who should be baptized? When do you do it? (in infancy or adulthood) Where should I be baptized and how? (sprinkling, pouring, or immersion) And most important, do I have to be baptized to be saved? We had a baptismal service at our church where I answered those questions in a sermon.2020-09-2346 minPV Bible AliveThe Role of Government According to the Bible part 1In these days where the government is mandating wearing masks, social distancing, and restricting large gatherings, how far should a Christian go in obedience to that authority? Is government following its mandate from God when it won't stop violence, rioting, and looting? Christians need to understand the role of government according to the Scripture in order to properly react to their government, and vote for people who will align themselves with Biblical principles.2020-09-2341 minPV Bible AliveGalatians 6:11-18The last of the principles of living the Christian life is to boast in nothing but the Cross of Christ. When we come to Christ we realize that we can't buy our salvation with personal righteousness. We can only be saved by the grace of God. So we have nothing to boast about. Except that the Cross of Christ separated us from the world, made us a new creation, and guaranteed our forever home.2020-09-121h 01PV Bible AliveGenesis 19This is the story of the destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. These infamous cities stand through history as examples of God's judgment. 2020-09-1254 minPV Bible AliveGalatians 6:1-10How do I know how to live as a Christian? Paul gives us five principles in Galatians 5-6. And in this passage, he describes the principle, "Do good whenever you can." It seems like such a simple concept. But a Christian will live life with an eye open for opportunities to do good to people.2020-08-2936 minPV Bible AliveGalatians 5:15 - 26In Paul's letter to the Galatians, he says "Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh." I really want to live that way. I want to live a life that is entirely guided by God's Holy Spirit. I don't want to live a life guided by the lusts of my flesh. So how do I "Walk in the Spirit" as the Bible tells me to? This passage of Scripture tells us how.2020-08-2946 minPV Bible Alive2 Corinthians 2:14-3:6Our Triumph is in Christ! My father, Art Hays, delivered this message from 2 Corinthians a number of years ago. And the sense of the message is that God's people will triumph, God's message will prevail. Despite the circumstances around us, despite any opposition, or seeming lack of results, God's Word does not return void, and it accomplishes exactly what He desires. We can take comfort in that knowledge.2020-08-0633 minPV Bible AliveGalatians 5:7-15How do Christians decide what's right and wrong? We don't have a long list of do's and don'ts, we live by the law of love. In the 5th and 6th chapters of Galatians Paul explains that we are free from the legalism of the Mosaic law, but we live by 5 principles; Don't give in to legalism, Live by the Law of love, Follow the Holy Spirit, Do good to each other, and Don't boast in anything but the Cross of Christ. 2020-08-051h 06PV Bible AliveGalatians 5:1-6How do we live as Christians? How do we decide what's right and wrong? In Galatians 5 and 6, Paul lays out five principles for Christian living; Don't Submit to Legalism, Live by the Law of Love, Following the Holy Spirit's Leading, Do Good to others, and Don't boast in anything but the Cross of Christ. In this message, we'll consider the first of those five principles.2020-08-0454 minPV Bible AliveGalatians 4:21-31How do you know if your denomination or church is teaching the truth? Paul concludes chapter 4 of Galatians with an illustration. And the illustration tells us that there are certain characteristics that are common in denominations that teach falsehoods.2020-07-211h 01PV Bible AliveGalatians 4:11-20How can you tell if a religious teacher comes from God? There are so many people who say that they represent Spiritual truth, and God, but how can you know? In this passage, the Apostle Paul talks about himself in comparison to the teachers who came to the Galatian churches to teach religious legalism. And he talks about his qualities versus theirs. Well these same qualities can be used as a guide today to determine if your religious teacher comes from God. 2020-07-2154 minPV Bible AliveGenesis 17-18Faith in a world gone crazyHave you ever had those times when life seemed to being going along great, then the whole world just seemed to go crazy? In Genesis 17 and 18, God tells a 99 year old man to change he and his wife's names, circumcise yourself and 300 other people, your 89 year old wife is going to have a son, and I am going to destroy a group of cities, where your nephew and his family lives, with fire from heaven. I can almost hear Abram say, "oy vey!"2020-07-2152 minPV Bible AliveGenesis 15 - 16When is it okay to doubt? The Bible characterizes those who doubt as being tossed about by the waves of the sea. Jesus chastens Peter because of his doubt. But in chapters 15 and 16 of Genesis, Abram seems to be doubting the promises of God. But instead of chastening Abram, God encourages him. Why? How was Abram's doubt "okay" in these chapters? And when is it not "okay?"2020-07-0656 minPV Bible AliveGalatians 4:1-11People today seem to prefer a religion with a list of rules to follow, over one where you are saved by trusting in the work of Christ on the cross.The Bible book of Galatians describes believers as "Heirs of God," those who "Know God" and are "Known by God." God brings every believer, by grace, out of the rags of their sinfulness, to the riches of being a "son of God," a child of God. So the question Paul asks the Galatians is, "Why are you trading those riches to go back to the rags of ri...2020-07-0646 minPV Bible AliveGenesis 141 Corinthians 15:33 says: Bad company corrupts good character. In other words, if you choose people of questionable character as your closest friends and confidants, you will become like them in your character. In this chapter in Genesis, we find Abram setting an example for us concerning who he chooses as his friends.2020-07-061h 09PV Bible AliveGalatians 3:19 - 29What is the point behind all those Old Testament Jewish laws; dietary laws, Sabbath day rules, special dress rules, rules regarding cleanness and uncleanness? Paul explains to the Galatians that the law was given in order to guide us to Christ. 2020-06-2946 minPV Bible AliveGenesis 12 - 13Abraham was the father of faith in Scripture. He is the archetype for all those who will come to faith through Jesus Christ. But he is also an example in another way; he was flawed. God didn't choose him because he was righteous, but because he believed God. And we are not chosen because we are righteous, but because of faith.2020-06-2942 minPV Bible AliveGenesis 10 - 11As far as the Bible is concerned there is only one race; the human race. But because of sin, mankind has separated himself, and been hostile to people who look different, or who speak a different language. And the beginnings of those racial and language differences is described in Genesis 10 and 11. How do we fix the racial and cultural divide? Here's a hint; It's not going to be accomplished with human pride, but by all of us humbling ourselves before God. 2020-06-291h 07PV Bible AliveGalatians 3:1-18 Is Christianity by Faith or Legalism?There are hundreds of so-called "Christian" denominations across the world today.

Well, as I said to someone just recently, "There are two huge heresies that should cause you to run from any church. One is if they falsely teach who God is.
