Bethany Baptist Church, Salem OR12-15-24, Dr. Donn Mogford, "2 Sons-2 Moms-1 Dad And the Grace of God", Genesis 21Genesis 20 and 21:22-34 present two encounters with Abimelech which provide bookends to bring focus to the crucial narrative in the middle. The events with Abraham & Sarah and Isaac & Ishmael are dramatic and instructive. The faithfulness of God and the Grace of God are on full display. But it is not always pretty.

“The work of the Spirit is to make us more like Christ for His glory, not for the praise of men.” (Warren Wiersbe)
Let’s get started! Our study today will focus on “love.”

Bethany Baptist Church, Salem OR11-19-23 Dr. Donn Mogford, "The Epistles of Jeremiah", Jeremiah 29:1-23The chapter before us is fascinating. Jeremiah warns the exiles in Babylon that their displacement and captivity will not end anytime soon. He challenges them to patience, purpose and hope in the face of their continuing chaos.

Bethany Baptist Church, Salem OR7-30-23 Donn Mogford "The Man the King Honors or Sleepless in Susa", Esther 6:1-14The book of Esther is a historical and literary gem. Some experts suggest that the literary pivot in the book occurs here, early in chapter 6. The pivot does not emerge from a dramatic word or deed by Haman or Esther, rather from a quiet, subtle non-event. The king has insomnia. What a coincidence!

Bethany Baptist Church, Salem OR4-16-23 Donn Mogford "To the Generous" Philippians 4:14-20The text before us today is the second part of a larger segment, Philippians 4:10-20, which taken together, blends the themes of contentment and generosity. I believe that these verses herald the generosity of those who trust in the sufficiency of their Lord.
