It was never designed by God, when he chose his people, that they should be an untried people. They were chosen in the furnace of affliction; they were never chosen to worldly peace and earthly joy. Freedom from sickness and the pains of mortality was never promised them.” CH Spurgeon These words by Spurgeon reflect a certain reality that our contemporary culture has a hard time dealing with. God has not promised to take away our struggles or to fix every problem. What He has promised to do, is to give meaning and context to the...2020-03-3037 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchLord, to You I Commit My Spirit - AudioCamak Baptist Church2020-03-2237 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchThe Necessity of Discernment in the Christian Life - AudioCamak Baptist Church2020-03-0846 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchThe Meditation and Practice of Our Holiness- Part 2 The Direction of Our Obedience - AudioThe Christian life is a building up of character. It is more than belief of certain truths, the sustaining of certain religious emotions; it is the continuous working into the warp and woof of our life every good and excellent quality until we arrive at the measure of and stature of the fulness that is in Christ. The apostle exhorts us to train our minds to a high and refined sense of this. It is true that the regenerate are taught of God, and have the Spirit to guide them. But, this is not to supersede the use of their...2020-03-0139 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchThe Meditation of the Practice of Our Holiness- Part 1 - AudioThe meditation and practice of our holiness revolve around a very important point that Paul draws in our text for today's study. A second time we pointed toward the conclusion of the whole presentation set before us in the preceding texts. Before it was “finally, brethren, rejoice in the Lord.” The whole history of conversion with all its preliminary struggles, the terrors and sorrows of repentance, the hopes and fears of faith, finds its issue and rest in this. But here is a second “finally.” There is something beyond the exultation of deliverance through Christ; that is the attainment of a perfec...2020-02-2341 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchBeing Anxious for Nothing - AudioThe world around us is a place of turmoil. Every news report, every social media post, almost every human interaction seems designed and purposed to stir the emotions, incite our fears, and instil in us great anxiety. In this message, we examine anxiety, how it affects us, causes us to distrust God, and why God is the only one who can grant us any measure of peace in this world.2020-02-1752 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchReasonableness- The Mechanism for Our Reconciliation - AudioCamak Baptist Church2020-02-0934 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchRejoicing- The Foundation of Our Reconcilation - AudioWhen disharmony arises between a spirit-filled person and God, or that person and another, the one who is spirit-filled aches for equity in that relationship to be restored. The struggle that we encounter is that disharmony afflicts our hearts and minds, we seek struggle under the weight of knowing that we are living in the shadow of that broken relationship. We crave restoration, reconciliation. The isolation we feel when our relationships fracture cuts deeply because we love, we care, we hurt. The greater the affection, the greater the hurt. And sometimes, that hurt drives its intensity from the depth of...2020-02-0249 minZera Today with Dr. Lorenzo NealZera Today with Dr. Lorenzo NealKobe Bryant, the Finality of Life and Legacy of Hope beyond DeathThe death of Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and seven others in a helicopter crash this weekend has caused millions to mourn their loss. Many have questioned how such a thing could have happened and others have revived Kobe's past and weaponized it.

However, there is a Christian way of responding and behaving when these inevitable divergences of thought and attitude arise. When these times come upon us, there is a tendency to draw upon one's own moral or ethical superiority of position, But, as Paul tells us, there is a superiority greater than ours to which we much differ that does not allow us to trouble the great agreement and the dear affection that Christ, our Lord, has bout us to. In the difficulties that may arise...2020-01-2645 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchA Caution for Those Who Would Be Spiritual - AudioThere are 3 elements to spiritual living. In Philippian 3, Paul challenges believers to have an intimate understanding of all 3 to have a balanced and healthy spiritual life. They are doctrine, practice, and experience. It is easy to fall into a practice and experience that are not based on truth. The Bible warns that many "will have a form of spirituality that lacks power" and that "many will seek teachers to tell them things that make them self-satisfied". It also warns that this world is set up to deceive the people of God; and so, Paul takes time to warn the followers...2020-01-1242 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchThe Upward Call of Christ - AudioFor most Christians, the whole point of Christianity is to arrive safely at the destination of Heaven when the time comes; and, that is a worthy goal to be sure. But, what if we are missing a vital part of what it means to be an actual follower of Jesus, one who is stamped after His image, with this line of thinking? In Philippians chapter 3, Paul addresses this question with great concern as He explores the upward call of Christ in our lives. But what is this upward call and how does it serve to awaken the people of God...2020-01-0540 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchWho is He in Yonder Stall - AudioCamak Baptist Church2019-12-2948 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchRecovering the Mystery that is Christmas- 2019 - AudioCamak Baptist Church2019-12-2355 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchProtecting the Thread of Faith that Runs Through Our Faith - AudioCamak Baptist Church2019-12-0150 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchThe Thread of Joy that Should Run Through Our Faith - AudioCamak Baptist Church2019-11-2440 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchEpaphroditis: A Man Committed to Christ - AudioCamak Baptist Church2019-11-1741 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchTimothy- A Man Who Loved the Congregation Well - AudioCamak Baptist Church2019-11-1044 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchThe Light and Life of Christ Being Made Known in His People - AudioCamak Baptist Church2019-11-0345 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchDeveloping the Mind of Christ in the Church Today - AudioCamak Baptist Church2019-10-2745 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchThe Courage of the Follower of Jesus - AudioCamak Baptist Church2019-10-2044 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchHow to Rejoice and Have Joy Despite Your Circumstances - AudioCamak Baptist Church2019-10-1346 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchThe Delight in the Duty for the Follower of Jesus - AudioCamak Baptist Church2019-10-0650 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchPhilippians- Entropy in the Christian Life, No Way! - AudioCamak Baptist Church2019-09-2942 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchIncorporated Together for the Partnership of the Gospel - AudioCamak Baptist Church2019-09-2253 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchGrace and Peace to You - AudioCamak Baptist Church2019-09-1546 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchThe Book of Philippians- Living Jesus' Story- An Introduction - AudioCamak Baptist Church2019-09-0141 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchThe Calling and Defeat of the Unrighteous Nations - AudioCamak Baptist Church2019-08-2550 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchThe Salvation of Israel- The Hope for the Christian - AudioZechariah is quite a remarkable prophet. Prophesying in about 520 to 518. He’s what we call a postexilic prophet. He encourages them to restore their love for God, their worship of God, and to build the temple.

These are just a few of the words that could be used to describe the people of Israel at the time of the return from exile in the days of Zechariah and his contemporaries. God had called them to rebuild the city and His Temple, but due to: opposition, criticism, persecution, and low morale, the people stalled in their work leaving the project undone for many years.

Joshua was not as concerned as to the channel through which the orders had been concerned, as he was with the source of the commands. He submitted himself to the command. Like Joshua, we to have received our commands; and like Joshua, we must remember that true faithfulness rests upon our living our lives in such a way that they illustrate that we believe that the words God has spoken are true.

The arms of the Lord are iron so that when they come they strike with deadly force. Our hearts are troubled when the justice of the Lord is meted out, but at the same time, they ache to know of its fulfilment. The sin in our lives is the source of this seeming conflict where we cry out for justice and then rebel when God displays His ability to deliver it. This command to slaughter the Canaanites was not given in...2018-11-0556 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchExperiencing a Heart of Worship and Obedience that Comes from a Heart that Is Consecrated - AudioWhat should impress us most about this fifth chapter of Joshua is that, for once, the people of Israel, the leadership of Israel, and the God of Israel seem to be functioning in harmony. The people are no longer getting ahead of God or lagging too far behind Him. God has called His people to a reunification with Him through circumcision and the observance of the Passover. These two things meant to cause the people to remember the God who had called them, the covenant and purpose to which He called them, and the position that they were called to...2018-10-2247 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchTaking a Moment in the Pilgrimage to Reconsider the Covenant - AudioCamak Baptist Church2018-10-1449 minSpyCastSpyCastAn American’s Path to Al-Qa’ida: A Conversation with Bryant Neal ViñasSPY Executive Director Chris Costa sat down with Bryant Neal Viñas to discuss the story of his ideological journey from New York to Pakistan and Afghanistan to wage jihad.

It seems strange that on the eve of the people beginning the process of becoming the nation that God had called them to be that He would have them to stop and undertake the act of circumcision. Despite this seeming pause, it was vital for the people to remember who they were as the people of God; His covenant with them; the character of the people that was to be shaped by this...2018-10-0747 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchThough there be Giants in the Land - AudioCamak Baptist Church2018-09-2336 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchWhat These Stones Mean - AudioCamak Baptist Church2018-09-1650 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchPreparing Your Life for Daily Mission (Not the Mission You Might Assume) - AudioIt's time for the people of Israel to cross over the Jordan River into the land that had been promised to them by God generations before. But, before they would go, Joshua, their new leader, must call them to remember who they are; who had called them into their destiny as His people and to the purpose for which He had called them. God had called them to be an example for the nations around them.

As the land was discovered to be as it should be, the people still refused to enter in and as a result, the Lord kept that generation from entering; with the exception of Joshua and Caleb. During the 40 years of wandering, Moses, Joshua's mentor, as well as the rest of his generation died. With a whole new generation of people to be led, a land promised by...2018-08-1947 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchCrossing the River Jordan (Regeneration) into the Promised Land (Sanctification) - Audio(Due to a technical problem, this is not a full recording) God has prepared an inheritance for His saints and given it to them through a covenant established in His Son. This covenant is exceedingly broad and unfortunately most Christians do not conquer all the country that has been made available to them. But, like the Israelites, who settled the narrow bounds of Canaan instead of conquering the whole of the land promised them. There are divine graces which God makes available to us: deeper knowledge of Himself and His ways, spiritual formation. When we come to Christ by faith...2018-08-1334 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchBe Strong and Courageous for a Purpose - AudioThe people of Israel once had the opportunity to cross over the river Jordan to lay claim to the land that God had promised them. Because of their disbelief, they had been consigned to 40 years of wandering. Now, they again have the chance to cross over and as they prepare to do so, God calls them to be strong and courageous. The land was meant to be their rest, a place where they could be God's people, to grow in the knowledge of Him. That was the true promise. It would require being steadfast in a trust of the One...2018-08-0647 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchThe Lepers- A Picture of Our Deep Need - AudioIn the message for today, we will examine an account in the Old Testament scriptures that revolves around 4 men who had spent a great deal of their lives living outside the city walls of Samaria. These 4 men had become infected with the disease of Leprosy. This malady had left the isolated and abandoned from their home, their family, their employment, their purpose, virtually everything that would give life meaning and fulfillment. Living off the scraps thrown to them over the city walls, the would have been seen as barely living.

Most resources, articles, and books for sufferers today no longer talk about enduring affliction but instead use a language drawn from business and psychology that is geared to encourage people to simply manage, reduce, and cope with stress, strain, or trauma. We are told to avoid negative thoughts, to buffer ourselves with time off, supportive relationships and exercise and to learn to accept things that we cannot do anything about. But all the focus is on controlling your immediate emotions and responses and the...2018-07-0849 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchA Diversity of Internal Responses to Suffeing - AudioDiversity in suffering does not just include the external factors; but, also includes the internal factors- person's temperament and personality also play a role in how a person responds to suffering, and the lasting effects that the suffering will have on them. This message will describe three ways that a person can respond to suffering and adversity.2018-06-2453 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchThe Diversities of Suffering - AudioAs much as we may want the growth, we dislike the fact that suffering constitutes a very important part of our growth; both as human beings, and as followers of Jesus Christ. People who have gone through suffering find themselves aware of their strengths and weaknesses, developing wisdom that combats the naivetes about life and living, and a tempering that resists the fragilities of life. We also know that suffering does not enrich us and deepen us automatically. Fire in the furnace can kill, and gymnasiums can severely injure; and, as an old saying goes, "the same fire that melts...2018-06-1751 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchLearning to Walk- Part 2 - AudioIn the Bible, a refiner's fire is used as a metaphor to describe times of suffering. A less well-known metaphor is that of a "gymnasium". 1 Peter and Hebrews, as well as several other passages, picture great groups of Christians facing many trials and afflictions. The Bible acknowledges that these times of pressure are painful, but also states that these are great times of training where, under the hand of the Lord, they have the ability to produce a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who are being trained by it. The Greek word for "trained" is 'gymnazdo' and it...2018-06-1046 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchLearning to Walk - AudioJesus is quoted in the Bible as saying: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." This is the equivalent as His having said: "Happy is the one who seeks not happiness but righteousness." Happiness is a by-product of wanting something more happiness- to be rightly related to God and to our neighbor. If you seek God as the non-negotiable good of your life, you will get happiness thrown in. If you aim namely at personal happiness, you will get neither. If we focus our lives on achieving personal comfort and satisfaction without centering...2018-06-0353 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchFinding Meaning for Suffering - AudioSuffering is at the heart of the Christian faith. From the way Jesus came, and became, like us and redeemed us to also the way we become like Him and experience His redemption. That being in mind, it means that our suffering, despite its painfulness, is also filled with purpose and usefulness. We live in a time which the ancient idea of suffering's "usefulness" is resisted. The fact is "people need adversity, setbacks, and perhaps even trauma to reach the highest levels of strength, fulfillment, and personal development. Romans 5 sums it up: "suffering produces endurance, endurance produces character, character produces...2018-05-2857 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchTrusting the God Who has Suffered - AudioGod is not only sovereign over our suffering, but He has also made Himself subject and vulnerable to suffering. As paradoxical as this may seem at first, they stand as crucial to grasping the Christian worldview of suffering. As expressed in the message, the only reason why the God of the Bible can be trusted Himself is His own firsthand experience with suffering.2018-05-2042 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchThe Sovereignty of God Who is a Suffering God - AudioCamak Baptist Church2018-05-1444 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchThe Crisis of Faith in Understanding Evil - AudioCamak Baptist Church2018-05-0747 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchThe Argument for God Existing from Pain and Suffering - AudioCamak Baptist Church2018-04-2951 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchThe Victory of Christian Truth - AudioCamak Baptist Church2018-04-2243 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchWalking With God Through Pain and Suffering- Intro - Audio“Contemporary people have a problem is that they think that life is all about finding happiness. Each one tries to decide under what conditions they will be able to be happy and then they work toward bringing about those conditions. To live for happiness means that you are trying to get something out of life. But when suffering comes along, it disrupts the conditions for happiness away, and so suffering destroys all your reason to keep living. Western society has been judged as the weakest and worst at preparing its people for enduring times of loss, tragedy, and grief and it...2018-04-1553 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchThe Opportunity to Speak Prophetically to a Culture - AudioThe inertia of this age, fragmenting outward in every direction, demands a robust commitment to the gospel as the center. Christianity speaks prophetically to every age insofar as it speaks from unchanging gospel. This gospel brings healing and hope in a world of fear. It also confronts every idol and calls everyone to costly discipleship. The gospel of Jesus Christ is comforting (Matt. 11:29-30), but it is not comfortable (Matt. 16:24).2018-04-0957 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchPalm Sunday Message - AudioCamak Baptist Church2018-03-2644 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchThe Opportunity for Spiritual Formation and Christlikeness - AudioTherefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, (Hebrews 6:1 ESV) With these words, the writer of the book of Hebrews calls believers into a life of depth, growing awareness of the things of God, lives of Holiness, and understanding of God's ways. "Leaving the elementary doctrines" calls believers to leave the basic teachings, not in disbelief, but in expectation of deeper maturity and intimacy with God. This intimacy is made possible by God, sustained by God, and finds its...2018-03-1851 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchThe Opportunity for Biblical Literacy - AudioBible literacy occurs when a person has access to a Bible in a language they understand and is steadily moving toward knowledge and understanding of the text. If it is true that the character and will of God are proclaimed in Scripture, then any serious attempt to become equipped for the work of discipleship must include a desire to build Bible literacy. Bible literacy stitches patchwork knowledge into a seamless garment of understanding. Bible literacy matters because it protects us from falling into error. Both the false teacher and the secular humanist rely on biblical ignorance for their messages to...2018-03-1145 minCamak Baptist ChurchCamak Baptist ChurchThe Opportunity for Unity and Fellowship - AudioWhere the Spirit of Christ dwells as a vitalising, formative principle, He finds or makes for Himself a body. Let no man say, “I have the spirit of religion, I can dispense with forms, I need no fellowship with men, I prefer to walk with God.” God will not walk with men who do not care to walk with His people. The hope of our calling is a hope for mankind, nay, for the entire universe. We labour for the regeneration of humanity. We look for the actual ingathering into one in Christ of all things in all worlds, as they...2018-02-2638 min
