Watch or listen to sermons preached from the pulpit at Fairview Baptist Church.
Wisdom from the Beasts of the Earth
God speaks about 7 different animals or pairs and uses each one to question Job (and us). In doing so, God teaches us valuable lessons about himself and his power and control over suffering.
God’s Care for His Creatures
God demonstrates his understanding and power over the animals that man could never possess. If God can so manage the animal world, certainly he has the understanding and wisdom to manage the world of men. In this message Pastor Tim deals with the common objection to God’s care of his creation. Evolution is said to provide the mechanism to explain the origin and development of species all around us. It is important to understand this false doctrine and how it…
No One Like Him
God continues to address Job (and us) on how he is the Creator and Sustainer. We must learn humility, trust, and worship before the greatness of God. Our society continues in the same rebellion as Babel. A return to God as Creator is necessary. So too is the church influenced by the world and needs to be reminded of God as Creator.
The Limits of Evil
This sermon examines God’s words to Job. He uses images of a builder, a midwife, and a general to teach Job that the wicked are limited in what they do and when they do it. God’s purposes cannot be thwarted.
Christian Imitation
A call to Christian imitation as growth to look more like Christ. ** Note: we apologize for the poor audio quality of this sermon.
God Speaks
Job finally hears from God. When God speaks, it isn’t what we might expect. In this message we recap Job’s story and consider God’s response to this man grappling with suffering and perceived injustice.
Justice, Kingdom, and Christ
In this final part of a series on justice we consider Christ, the one who will bring justice to the nations. We’ll trace this mission through promise, fulfillment, and into the present day where he continues to build his kingdom of justice, peace, and righteousness.
Justice, Creation, and Law
In this third part of the series on justice we consider two important areas that have been neglected by the church and society. If we are going to see the justice of God increase in our land, there must be a promotion of the doctrine of creation and the doctrine of the law of God.
Justice Starts Here
Many people are striving towards global objectives of justice and equality. But is this where we start? Can you mass produce cars before building and testing prototype? We will see that justice must start with us personally and with the people of God. Only then will we be equipped to promote justice and see the kingdom of Christ advance.
Understanding (Social) Justice
In this introduction to justice we consider what is “social justice” and how it compares to biblical or true justice. We see that much of what is promoted as “justice” today is partiality and unjust. We must understand that justice cannot be separated from righteousness, God, God’s law, and Jesus Christ.
Our Message and Our Ministry
The world offers a number of solutions to the problem of reconciliation today, but cannot provide one that offers any real change and doesn’t end in greater turmoil and abuse. This is where the message of reconciliation in Jesus Christ stands alone as the only answer to every problem. How can man be restored to God? Exclusively by what God has done in the death of Christ. Not only is this the greatest message known to man, but it is…
God of the Storm
Elihu gives us his final words. They foreshadow God’s words to Job and Job’s response to God. God’s justice cannot be questioned. The trials and storms of life are gifts of love to his people. May we see that in this text that drives us to see God has high and exalted.
