The Book of Romans

Paul’s letter to the church in Rome came at a time when they needed to understand the foundations and the complexities of their faith.  Within its pages, Paul outlines on of the simplest explanations of the gospel found in Scripture.  Then, he puts his brilliant mind to task of exploring some of the most complex doctrines of the Christian faith and how the understanding of those doctrines is the key to living a life of hope now and joy for the eternity that awaits those who know Christ as their Lord and Savior

 

 

Sunday evening study  at 6:00pm~ Psalms

 

Studying the Book of Psalms offers countless blessings, enriching both the mind and spirit. This collection of 150 poetic songs, written by King David and others, provides a timeless guide for navigating life’s highs and lows. One of its greatest gifts is the raw honesty it models—psalms of praise, lament, and thanksgiving reflect the full spectrum of human emotion. This fosters a deeper connection with the Lord, as the Psalms teach trust, gratitude, and surrender.

Studying the Psalms also sharpens spiritual wisdom, revealing God’s character—His mercy, justice, and steadfast love. The poetic language inspires reflection and prayer, embedding truths in the heart.

Moreover, the Psalms unite believers across generations, as their themes resonate universally. Whether seeking solace, strength, or joy, readers find a companion in these ancient words. Regularly engaging with the Psalms cultivates a habit of worship and dependence on God, making it a wellspring of spiritual vitality for anyone willing to dive in.

 

 

Thursday Evenings 6:30 pm Bible Study:  1 Samuel

You're invited to join us for an exciting Bible study in the book of 1 Samuel at Corbin City Baptist Church

When: Thursday nights, starting at 6:30 PM
Where: Corbin City Baptist Church

This powerful Old Testament narrative is a captivating account of Israel's transition from the era of judges to a monarchy, centered on three pivotal figures: the faithful prophet Samuel, the tragic first king Saul, and the humble, anointed shepherd-boy-turned-king David.

Studying 1 Samuel is incredibly valuable—it reveals profound truths about God's sovereignty over history and human leaders, the importance of obedience to God (far above mere religious acts), and how the Lord looks at the heart rather than outward appearances. We see God's faithfulness in exalting the humble, opposing the proud, and guiding events toward His ultimate plan, including the promise of a coming King in the line of David. These timeless lessons challenge us in our own leadership, faith, and trust in God's providential care today.

1 Samuel challenges us to examine our own hearts and offers timeless lessons on trusting God's timing in a world of uncertainty.

Whether you're new to Bible study or have been digging into Scripture for years, this is a great opportunity to grow together in God's Word.

From the Pastor’s Pen: A Biblical Perspective on AgingThe world around us views aging with dread—wrinkles, age spots, frailty, and decline are seen as enemies to be fought with creams, surgeries, and endless pursuits of youth. But as followers of Christ, we must reject this carnal mindset and embrace the biblical truth about aging. God's Word does not portray old age as a curse but as a stage of life ordained by His providence, a time for deepened dependence on Him, fruitful service, and anticipation of eternal glory. In Psalm 90:10-12, which is a prayer of Moses, we read: "As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years, Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow; For soon it is gone and we fly away. Who understands the power of Your anger And Your fury, according to the fear that is due You? So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom." Here, Moses confronts us with the brevity and toil of life. Seventy or eighty years—that's the span allotted to most, and even those are marked by "labor and sorrow." Why? Because aging is a consequence of the curse in Genesis 3, where sin entered and death followed. Every ache, every gray hair, every diminished capacity reminds us that we live in a body corrupted by the fall. The world denies this, chasing immortality through science and self-help, but the Christian knows better. We are dust returning to dust (Genesis 3:19), and this humbles us before God.Yet, this sobering truth is not meant to drive us to despair but to wisdom. Moses prays, "Teach us to number our days." Aging forces us to count our time, to redeem it for eternity (Ephesians 5:16). How many squander their youth on vanities, only to face old age with regret? As Christians, we must live with eternity in view. In my years of ministry, I've seen saints who, in their twilight, radiate joy because they invested in the kingdom—studying Scripture, discipling others, praying fervently. Contrast that with the fool who clings to this world, as Ecclesiastes warns. Solomon, in Ecclesiastes 12:1-7, paints a vivid picture of aging: "Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near when you will say, 'I have no delight in them'; before the sun and the light, the moon and the stars are darkened, and clouds return after the rain; in the day that the watchmen of the house tremble, and mighty men stoop, the grinding ones stand idle because they are few, and those who look through windows grow dim..." This metaphorical description—trembling limbs, failing teeth, dimming eyes—urges us to serve God now, before frailty limits us. Aging is God's megaphone, calling us to prioritize what matters: fearing Him and keeping His commandments (Ecclesiastes 12:13).But praise God, Scripture does not leave us in the shadow of decline. It promises that the righteous flourish even in old age. Psalm 92:12-15 put it this way: "The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Planted in the house of the Lord, They will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still yield fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and very green, To declare that the Lord is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him." What a glorious contrast! While the wicked wither like grass (Psalm 92:7), the godly remain vibrant. The palm tree endures drought; the cedar stands tall in storms. So too, the aging believer, rooted in Christ, bears fruit. This isn't physical youth restored but spiritual vitality. Proverbs 16:31 echoes this: "A gray head is a crown of glory; It is found in the way of righteousness." Gray hair isn't a shame but a badge of honor for those who walk in godliness. How does this happen? Through God's sustaining grace. Isaiah 46:3-4 assures us: "Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of the house of Israel, You who have been borne by Me from birth And have been carried from the womb; Even to your old age I will be the same, And even to your graying years I will bear you! I have done it, and I will carry you; And I will bear you and I will deliver you." Our God is not distant; He carries us from cradle to grave. In youth, we may rely on our strength, but aging strips that illusion, teaching us to lean on Him. This is the school of sanctification. As Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 4:16-18: "Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal." See the divine paradox: outer decay, inner renewal. Aging's afflictions—aches, losses—are "light" compared to glory. They wean us from earth, fixing our eyes on heaven.Practically, how do we apply this? First, cultivate a life of faithfulness now. Don't wait for old age to get serious about God. Study His Word daily; it's the fountain of renewal (Psalm 1:2-3). Second, embrace aging's opportunities for ministry. Titus 2:2-5 instructs: "Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance. Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored." Aging Christians are God's instructors. Use your experience to disciple the next generation. I've seen nursing homes become mission fields, where bedridden believers share the gospel with visitors and staff.Third, combat the fears of aging with faith. Frailty humbles us, drawing us closer to the Savior who bore our infirmities (Isaiah 53:4). Fear death? No! Christ conquered it (1 Corinthians 15:54-57). Philippians 1:21 rings true: "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." Aging points to our citizenship in heaven, where "He will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory" (Philippians 3:21). No more pain, no more tears (Revelation 21:4).Finally, guard against sins that tempt the aged: bitterness, idleness, self-pity. Instead, rejoice in God's sovereignty. Job, in his suffering, declared, "Though He slay me, I will hope in Him" (Job 13:15). So must we. Aging tests our faith, but God is faithful (1 Corinthians 10:13). Let us pray as David did in Psalm 71:18: "And even when I am old and gray, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come." May we age gracefully and fruitfully, for His glory. ... See MoreSee Less
