Sunday September 29, 2024 at the Hub City Church The Writing on the Wall | Daniel 5:1-31 Daniel: Faithfulness in Babylon Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes Lessons Learned from the Son of Nebuchadnezzar: FATHERS are a BLESSING to their children if they are willing to SEE it - either as MODELS to EMULATE, or as EXAMPLES to AVOID. Often, they are BOTH - teaching us through their successes and failures. 1 Corinthians 10:11-12 We ALL have precious VESSELS of God under our STEWARDSHIP - the question is HOW we will USE them. Galatians 6:7-8 // Romans 9:21-23 // 2 Timothy 2:20-21 // 2 Corinthians 4:7 The WRITING is not just on the WALL in another language, it’s in the BOOK in our own language: our DAYS are NUMBERED and apart from CHRIST, we’ll be found WANTING. “If you say, “The last thing I want to hear about in my troubled [life] is the wrath of God,” you are like a frustrated fisherman on the western coast of Indonesia on December 26, 2004, saying, “The last thing I want to hear about in

Sunday September 22, 2024 at the Hub City Church The Destruction of Pride | Daniel 4:1-37 Daniel: Faithfulness in Babylon Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes Lessons Learned from the New Nebuchadnezzar: There are invisible SPIRITUAL REALITIES that must be understood and ACCEPTED not only for an accurate WORLDVIEW but also for a right RELATIONSHIP with the GOD who made the WORLD. (And deep down, we ALL know it.) Romans 1:19-20 // Psalm 14:1 The PRIDE of unrepentant SIN leads people to do stupid, crazy, ANIMALISTIC things, bringing their lives to SPIRITUAL and sometimes PHYSICAL RUIN. Psalm 32:9, 49:20 // Proverbs 26:11 God will MERCIFULLY ALLOW His people to HIT ROCK-BOTTOM in this life if that is what it takes for them to REPENT and HUMBLE themselves before Him. “A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.” — C.S. Lewis Matthew 5:3-5 // Romans 5:8 There is NO one too FAR from God o

Sunday September 15, 2024 at the Hub City Church Images of Gold | Daniel 3:1-30 Daniel: Faithfulness in Babylon Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes [v.1-7] The spirit of Babylon INSISTS that we BOW down to worship ANY image except the RIGHT one: the image of the INVISIBLE God, Jesus Christ. Isaiah 44:6-10, 13-19 // Matthew 4:8-10 [v.8-18] If Christians are going to faithfully REFUSE to bow to idols, there may come a time where they must STAND ALONE and be WILLING to DIE. Mark 8:34-38 // Matthew 10:28 [v.19-25] Sometimes Jesus SAVES His people OUT of life’s FIRES so that others would SEE that He is MIGHTY to save; other times, He ALLOWS them to DIE that others might SEE His WORTHINESS of our TRUST, even unto DEATH. “It is not our trust in God that keeps us from troubles, but our trust in God that keeps us in troubles.” — Richard Sibbes Philippians 1:20-21 // 2 Timothy 4:17-18 [v.26-30] Ultimately, Jesus both STOOD ALONE in righteousness as none of us could and took the FIERY WRATH of Go

Sunday September 8, 2024 at the Hub City Church God Over History, Revealer of Mysteries | Daniel 2:24-49 Daniel: Faithfulness in Babylon Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes [v.24-30] We can LIVE with CONFIDENCE in CRAZY times because our God is SOVEREIGN, even OVER our KINGS! Proverbs 21:1 // Romans 13:1 Christian confidence is not ARROGANT or RUDE; it is HUMBLE and BOLD. Philippians 2:4-7 // Acts 4:13, 19-20 “The person who trusts in God fears no bad news—and so will boldly proclaim God’s good news.” — David Helm [v.31-49] EVERY EVENT in the course of human HISTORY is intentionally ORDAINED by God for the GOOD of His PEOPLE and ultimately, the GLORY of Christ. Isaiah 46:8-11 // Acts 1:7 // Matthew 2:1-2 The eternal KINGDOM of CHRIST WILL (and has already begun to) SUBVERT, SURPASS and SUPERSEDE every earthly, MAN-centered kingdom. Psalm 118:22 // Luke 20:17-18 // Acts 4:11 // Isaiah 2:2-3 // Psalm 48:1-2 The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, ma

Sunday September 1, 2024 at the Hub City Church Prepared to Act Prudently | Daniel 2:1-23 Daniel: Faithfulness in Babylon Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes [v. 1-12] If you have EVERYTHING EXCEPT a RELATIONSHIP with GOD, then when it MATTERS MOST, you have NOTHING. Luke 12:15-21 “Without the gospel, everything is useless and vain; without the gospel, we are not Christians; without the gospel, all riches are poverty, all wisdom folly before God; strength is weakness, and all the justice of man is under the condemnation of God.” — John Calvin God is MERCIFUL to EXPOSE the spiritual INSECURITY of PRIDEFUL people. Proverbs 29:23 [v.13-23] God is PLEASED to do the IMPOSSIBLE through the PETITION of His PEOPLE for His GLORY. John 15:7 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 The sovereign WILL of God to TURN the EVENTS of HISTORY through the humble service of His people should EMPOWER us for MISSION! Colossians 4:2-6 The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making discip

Sunday August 25, 2024 at the Hub City Church Resisting the Spirit of Babylon | Daniel 1:1-21 Daniel: Faithfulness in Babylon Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes The greatest DANGER for BABYLON is not living in IT PHYSICALLY, but its SUBTLE and SEDUCTIVE attempts to live in US SPIRITUALLY. 1 Corinthians 5:11 “Though we do not share all of the world’s conclusions, too often we think about everything in the same way and operate with the same value system— how many of us would rather die for the glory of God than live halfheartedly for Him in a measure of comfort?” — Sinclair Ferguson The demonic kingdom of Babylon wants to cause Christians to forget God with a process of systematic reprogramming: 1. ISOLATING them. Proverbs 18:1 // 1 Peter 5:8 2. INDOCTRINATING them. Colossians 2:8 // Romans 12:2 3. RE-IDENTIFYING them. 1 John 3:2 // 2 Corinthians 5:20 4. INTOXICATING them. Ephesians 5:18 // 1 Peter 1:13 Daniel’s example teaches us: There is usually a way to COEXIST PEACEABLY in Babylon

Sunday August 18, 2024 at the Hub City Church The Mercy of God's Judgment | Daniel 1:1-2 Daniel: Faithfulness in Babylon Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes BABYLON, though a REAL historical PLACE, becomes SYMBOLIC in scripture for ‘the KINGDOM of MEN’ who DESIRE to live OUTSIDE of the good and gracious RULE of GOD. Genesis 11:1-9 // 1 Peter 5:13 // Revelation 18:10,21 ISRAEL'S time in Babylonian CAPTIVITY is a TESTAMENT to the FACT that God is FAITHFUL to exact JUDGMENT on SIN as He has PROMISED. Leviticus 26:14-17, 21-22, 33 // 2 Kings 20:12-18 The book of Daniel REVEALS that God is SOVEREIGNLY at work to be MERCIFUL to His people, EVEN amidst their SIN'S consequences. Jeremiah 29:4-14 // Psalm 119:67, 75 // Hebrews 12:5-7 // Romans 11:25, 30-32 The good news in Old Testament terms is, for those who HUMBLY recognize and REPENT of their SINFUL AFFINITY for Babylon, there is ONE who TOOK the fullness of divine JUDGMENT they DESERVED and who will PRESERVE them throughout the time of the

Sunday August 11, 2024 at the Hub City Church Jesus is King | Jesus is Everything Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes Matthew 6:9-10 Genesis 1:28 THE PROBLEM underneath all other problems in the universe is that CREATION is out of SYNC with the RULE and REIGN of GOD. Psalm 10:16, 29:10, 47:2, 74:12, 95:3 // Deuteronomy 33:5 // Isaiah 43:15 Matthew 1:1 // Isaiah 9:2, 6-7 The hope of the gospel is not only ‘INDIVIDUALISTIC’ in that Jesus came to save us from our sin, it is ‘COSMIC’- Jesus came to make ALL things new! Ephesians 1:16-23 // Revelation 21:1-6 “Many Christians today think of salvation as leaving earth for heaven, but the story of Scripture is quite the opposite. The message of the kingdom of God is not an escape from earth to heaven but God’s reign coming down from heaven to earth. The focus of God’s reign is his people, but the scope of God’s reign is all of creation.” — Jeremy Treat 1 Corinthians 2:9 We live in light of Jesus’ Kingship not only by seeking to live in MORAL R

Sunday August 4, 2024 at the Hub City Church Jesus is Lord | Jesus is Everything Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes Luke 6:46-49 John 13:13 Jesus consistently teaches that there is no form of genuine faith in which He is RECEIVED as SAVIOR but REJECTED as LORD. Romans 10:9 // Philippians 2:9-10 “No single piece of our mental world is to be hermetically sealed off from the rest, and there is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry: “Mine!” — Abraham Kuyper Matthew 7:21 Living under Jesus’ Lordship is: SUBMISSION to Him as our loving MASTER who it is not only RIGHT but WISE for us to OBEY. John 14:15 // James 1:22-25 AND AFFIRMATION that He is THE sovereign GOD in CONTROL of ALL THINGS. Luke 7:1-10 // Colossians 1:16-17 FAITH-fueled OBEDIENCE to the Lord Jesus GENERATES internal STABILITY in this life and PEACE regarding the life to come! Isaiah 55:6-7 The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church

Sunday July 28, 2024 at the Hub City Church Jesus is Savior | Jesus is Everything Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes Luke 19:1-10 We need a Savior because: Our SIN gets us hopelessly LOST, spiritually. Romans 1:21-22, 28, 3:10-12 // Ephesians 2:1-3 In our sin, we don’t DESERVE to have FELLOWSHIP with God. Ezekiel 18:4 Jesus is the perfect Savior because: He PURSUES US when we are FAR from Him. Luke 15:4-7 His MERCY and KINDNESS leads us to REPENTANCE. Matthew 9:9-13 “If the death of Christ on the cross is the true meaning of the Incarnation, then there is no gospel without the cross. Christmas by itself is no gospel. The life of Christ is no gospel. Even the resurrection, important as it is in the total scheme of things, is no gospel by itself. For the good news is not just that God became man, nor that God has spoken to reveal a proper way of life for us, or even that death, the great enemy, is conquered. Rather, the good news is that sin has been dealt with (of which the resurrectio

Sunday July 21, 2024 at the Hub City Church The Portrait of a Deacon | Church 101: Deacons Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes 1 Timothy 3:8-13 Acts 6:3 When it comes to church leadership, CHARACTER is to be PRIORITIZED over COMPETENCY. “We almost think it needs a better man to make a good deacon than a good minister. We who preach the word go first, and this pleases human nature; [but] grace is needed to make older, wealthier, and often wiser men go second and keep their place without envyings and bickering’s: thousands do this, and are to be honored for it.” — Charles Spurgeon While scripture is clear that the role of ELDER is reserved for MEN; depending on the translation of a couple of key texts - WOMEN can *DEFINITELY MAYBE* fill the role of DEACON. Romans 16:1 // 1 Timothy 3:11 Regardless of what Deacons DO, Deacons are to BE: 1. Self-CONTROLLED in their SPEECH, APPETITES and FINANCIAL dealings. Ref. Ephesians 4:29, 5:5, 5:18 2. CLEAR in their UNDERSTANDING of the GOSPEL and in t

Sunday July 14, 2024 at the Hub City Church The NEED for 'Lead Servants' | Church 101: Deacons Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes Recap: 1 Timothy 3:14-15 Mark 10:45 // Luke 22:26 The primary need for ‘deacons’ is the need for EVERY BELIEVER to RECKON THEMSELVES a SERVANT of OTHERS, in Christ (especially within their church family!) Philippians 1:1 // 1 Timothy 3:8 The Acts 6 Model: 1) The ‘official’ role of Deacon exists because there are TASKS CRITICAL to EFFECTIVE gospel MINISTRY to which Elders CANNOT afford to give their TIME and ENERGY. 1 Corinthians 12:14-18 2) Deacons are needed because the faithful ADMINISTRATION of the various MINISTRIES of the CHURCH is a role that often ENTAILS CARE and BUILDS UNITY. 3) Deacons are critical because without their fulfillment of the church’s PRACTICAL NEEDS, the very MISSION of the church may be HINDERED. Romans 16:1-4,6,12 “A deacon’s work is often quiet but its effect is profound… There is an inseparable link between the labor of a deacon

Sunday July 7, 2024 at the Hub City Church The Importance of Order in the Local Church | Church 101: Deacons Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes “Too often Christians today have only two gears in their theological bike: essential and unimportant. If something is not essential for salvation, it is treated as unimportant and therefore dismissible. But the Bible presents us with a number of matters that are not essential for salvation but which nonetheless are important, even necessary, for obedience to God’s Word. And these commands are not arbitrary. Obeying them bears good fruit. Questions of polity and organization fall into this category. In the life of a local church, they can sometimes become crucially important for the church’s health and even survival.” — Mark Dever Titus 1:5 // Colossians 2:5 // 1 Corinthians 14:40 If God has a good DESIGN for ALL THINGS in CREATION, how much MORE for His SINGULAR VEHICLE of REDEMPTION - the CHURCH? Exodus 25:8-9 The ORDINANCES - Baptism: The wa

Sunday June 31, 2024 at the Hub City Church Lifelong Abiding in a Hostile World | 1 John 5:13-21 | A Series about Abiding in Christ Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes ASSURANCE of SALVATION and the ONGOING FIGHT against SIN are not MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE in the heart of a genuine Christian - the LATTER is actually good EVIDENCE of the FORMER! Romans 7:18-23 // Galatians 5:17, 25 “The evidence of being a Christian is not that there are no tactical defeats in the war, but that you keep fighting till the promised victory is given. That’s the evidence of being a Christian.” — John Piper Though Christians are INWARDLY PROTECTED by the SPIRIT from APOSTASY and DEMONIC CONTROL, they are still CAPABLE of IDOLATRY when not vigilantly TENDING to their HEARTS. Colossians 3:5 Hebrews 3:12-14 // Ephesians 5:15-17 // Proverbs 4:23 LIFELONG, faithful ‘ABIDING in CHRIST’ requires VISIBILITY and VULNERABILITY for the sake of loving ACCOUNTABILITY and INTERCESSORY PRAYER from our CHURCH family! Galatians 6

Sunday June 23, 2024 at the Hub City Church Believing the Testimony of God | 1 John 5:6-13 | A Series About Abiding in Christ Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes God Himself has given a perfectly sufficient testimony regarding the reality of eternal life: 1) Jesus’ SUBSTITUTIONARY LIFE (the WATER) and ATONING DEATH (the BLOOD) are the historical, external testimony that MUST be RECEIVED by faith for salvation. Hebrews 2:17, 4:15 // Romans 5:19, 4:5 // Matthew 3:13-17 Ref. John 6:54 // Matthew 26:28 // Romans 3:25 // Romans 5:9 // Ephesians 1:7 //Ephesians 2:13 //Colossians 1:19-20 // Hebrews 9:12 // Hebrews 9:14 // Hebrews 9:22 // Hebrews 10:19 // 1 Peter 1:18-19 // 1 John 1:7 // Revelation 1:5 // Revelation 5:9 // Revelation 12:11 “As we come to Christ, empty-handed, claiming no merit of our own, but clinging by faith to His blood and righteousness, we are justified. We pass immediately from a state of condemnation and spiritual death to a state of pardon, acceptance, and the sure hop

Sunday June 16, 2024 at the Hub City Church What Does God Want From You? (Roaches, Riches & Repentance) Psalm 116:12 | Psalms: The Songs of Jesus Sermon by Joshua Davidson | Worship Leader Sermon Notes: A RELATIONSHIP based on the LEAST is INCOMPATIBLE with a PERSON who is the MOST. Matthew 21:28-31 // Matthew 7:21-23 // John 6:40 Revelation 3:15-17 // Mark 10:25 // Hosea 13:6 2 Corinthians 13:5 Be honest and ask yourself: Am I LUKEWARM?

Sunday June 9, 2024 at the Hub City Church Content & Confident | Psalm 16 | Psalms: The Songs of Jesus Sermon by David Snelling | Teacher & Leader Sermon Notes Ephesians 2:1-5, John 16:33 True Contentment - Is the peace of ones soul that transcends circumstances and trials that rests fully on God alone Christian CONTENTMENT at its root is the life ALTERING, HEART-level belief that God is not only GOOD Himself, but is HIMSELF our GOOD. Romans 8:28 Numbers 18:20, Matthew 26:39 The Christian, in midst of suffering OR joy, can equally proclaim; God HOLDS my TODAY, my TOMORROW, and my ETERNITY.. Romans 8:18, James 1:2-4 CONTENTMENT can be LEARNED by an ever GROWING RELATIONSHIP with God… Learning to SEEK Him Learning to ACKNOWLEDGE Him Learning to TRUST Him Contentment — Joy — Confidence Christian CONFIDENCE is this: Jesus Christ; His LIFE, His DEATH, and His RESURRECTION Acts 2:22-36 1 Peter 1:3-9 The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe t

Sunday June 2, 2024 at the Hub City Church Overcoming the World in Love by Faith | 1 John 5:1-5 Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes Not only is our love for God displayed in our love for His people; love-FUELED OBEDIENCE to the COMMANDS of God IS the WAY to love His people. Matthew 7:12, 22:37-40 “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” Now you love yourself suitably when you love God better than yourself. What, then, you aim at in yourself you must aim at in your neighbor, namely, that he may love God with a perfect affection. For you do not love him as yourself, unless you try to draw him to that good which you are yourself pursuing… From this precept proceed the duties of human society.” — St. Augustine In God’s wisdom, He has DESIGNED for our greatest JOY to be a by-PRODUCT of living for His GLORY. This ELIMINATES the BURDEN of religious DUTY. Matthew 11:28-30 Born-again FAITH in Christ allows us to wisely REJECT the UNGODLY ways of the WORLD and LIVE in VICTORIOUS obedience to G

Sunday May 26, 2024 at The Hub City Church Love. Yes, Again! | 1 John 4:7-21 Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 Genuine Christian love is irreducibly SIMPLE and yet inimitably FOREIGN and thus we must keep coming back to REFLECT on and EXAMINE it in OURSELVES. Matthew 24:3-5, 12-13 // Revelation 2:1-5 Love begins with a DOCTRINE (The TRUTH of WHO God IS) Acts 14:16-17 It produces DELIGHT (JOY in WHAT He has DONE) 1 Peter 1:8 And, leads to DEVOTION (COMMITMENT to LIVE to SHOW and TELL OTHERS) John 15:10-12 “Love is the overflow and expansion of joy in God, which gladly meets the needs of others… It is first a deeply satisfying experience of the fullness of God’s grace, and then a doubly satisfying experience of extending this joy in God to another person.” — John Piper Just as GOD has DRAWN US into the pre-existent love that He had in Himself; WE too now LIVE to DRAW OTHERS into the love of God we have for Him and one another. Luke 7:36-47 Our PARTICIPATION with G

Sunday May 19, 2024 at The Hub City Church Testing the Spirits | 1 John 4:1-6 Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor Sermon Notes... The biblical warning against false teachers as a prevalent danger should lead believers in Christ to be humbly critical of ALL instructionwith philosophical implications. “Discernment is not a matter of simply telling the difference between right and wrong; rather it is telling the difference between right and almost right.” — Charles Spurgeon Colossians 2:1-4 The test of sound teaching is: Does it have the gospel as it’s motivating and governing tenet? 1 Corinthians 15:1-5 While there are many anti-christian teachings we must identify and reject, the most pressing are those that claim relation to Christ but are ultimately man-centered or materialistic… Matthew 7:15-18 Political ‘Christianity’ — overly preoccupied with earthly kings and kingdoms Prosperity ‘Christianity’ — overly desirous of earthly health and wealth Peculiar ‘Christianity’ — overly fixated on secondary
