How to Have an Abundant Life - Part 1

What if the abundant life Jesus promised has less to do with what you can get and more to do with what you plant? Every fall, Quentin Road Baptist Church begins a two-part First Fruits series about trusting God with the first and the best of what He gives us, and it starts with the story of a man who believed in a seed. In this message from the series First Fruits, Pastor Jim Scudder at Quentin Road Baptist Church opens with Johnny Appleseed, then walks through Paul's thank-you to the church at Philippi. Step by step in Philippians 4:10-19, he shows how mindfulness brings opportunity, opportunity brings flourishment, flourishment brings strength, strength brings action, and action brings sweetness and satisfaction, all the way to the promise that "my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." This is not the prosperity gospel. It is a call to see God at work in a real way and to learn, at any age, to live by faith with open hands. Scripture referenced: Philippians 4:10; Matthew 10:8; John 15:8; Philippians 4:11-12; Philippians 4:13; Amos 9:13; Philippians 4:14-16; Psalms 1:3; Philippians 4:17-18; Song of Songs 2:3; Philippians 4:19; Psalms 126:5-6; 2 Corinthians 9:6; Romans 5:15

The Satanically Inspired Jewish Derangement Syndrome

On October 7, 2023, 1,200 people were killed, 251 were taken hostage, and within a day a multi-billion-dollar worldwide propaganda campaign was already accusing the victims of genocide. Where does that kind of hatred come from? Dr. Phil Stringer says it is more than human. In this message on the third anniversary of October 7th, Dr. Stringer at Quentin Road Baptist Church traces the hatred of the Jewish people back to its source. He starts in Genesis, with the rebel Lucifer who hates mankind because man bears the image of the Creator, and shows why Satan especially hates Israel, the nation designed to remind the world of the true God and His laws. From there he walks through the Bible and history: Pharaoh, Haman, the sobering words of Martin Luther, and Hitler's "Final Solution," each an attempt to make Israel a vanishing kingdom. But every one of them failed, and the Bible tells us why. God keeps His promises, and the Messiah came through the Jews to bring salvation to all who believe. Scripture referenced: Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 3:1-5; Exodus 1:8-11; Esther 3:8-11; Luke 1:54-55; John 4:22; Romans 1:16

What Will Heaven Be Like? - Part 1

What will heaven actually be like? Is it a faraway place floating somewhere in the clouds, or is there more to the story? Pastor Jim Scudder opens a new mini-series on heaven by answering the questions people really ask, and answering them from Scripture rather than guesswork. In this message from the series Heaven and Hell, Pastor Scudder at Quentin Road Baptist Church begins with where heaven is, then walks through John's glimpse of the throne room in Revelation 4: the rainbow circle, the twenty-four elders, the lightning and thunder. He then turns to the New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven in Revelation 21 and 22, with its twelve gates, twelve foundations, and a river of life. Along the way he asks whether we will miss our old lives and what we will actually do in eternity. It is a taste of heaven for anyone who is hurting, missing someone who knew Jesus, or needs hope for the road ahead. And it ends with the question that matters most: how do you get there? Scripture referenced: Isaiah 57:15; Revelation 4:2-6; Revelation 21:1-3, 10-23; Revelation 22:1-4a; 1 Corinthians 2:9; John 4:34; John 5:17; Revelation 5:10; 2 Timothy 2:12a; 1 Corinthians 6:2-3; Matthew 25:21; Psalm 16:11; 2 Corinthians 5:8

One More Plague on One Dark Night - God's Awe & Grace Displayed on Passover

Midnight in Egypt. A cry no one had ever heard before, and none like it would be heard again. The tenth plague was the worst of them all, and yet in the middle of the judgment, God wrote out a way of escape that anyone could take: a spotless lamb, a doorway, and blood. In this message from the series Is The Old Testament Obsolete?, Pastor Jim Scudder opens Exodus 11 and 12 at Quentin Road Baptist Church on the Feast of Tabernacles weekend and walks through the night of the first Passover. He shows why the lamb lived in the house for four days before it was killed, why no bone could be broken, and how the hyssop, the roasting, and the unleavened bread all point forward to Jesus. Along the way he traces the seven festivals of Israel from Passover to Tabernacles, and explains the Passover Seder traditions of the three matzahs, the four cups, and the empty seat for Elijah. He also takes up a sharp question: if every firstborn died, why didn't Pharaoh? Pastor Scudder lays out the biblical dating of the Exodus and the Pharaoh who fits the evidence. Then he brings it home. Jesus was examined for four days in Jerusalem and no fault was found in Him, and He died at sunset as the Passover lambs were being killed. When the blood is applied by faith, the second death passes over you. Scripture referenced: Isaiah 40:8; 1 Corinthians 5:7; Exodus 11:4-6; Exodus 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 15:20; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Isaiah 12:3; John 7:37-38; Exodus 12:3; Exodus 12:5-15; Exodus 12:21-23; Exodus 12:46; Exodus 6:6-7; Mark 14:24-25; John 1:29

Finish Strong

The book of Acts ends with no farewell, no trial verdict, and no dramatic last scene. Just two verses covering two years, and then it stops. Why would the Holy Spirit close the greatest church history ever written like that? After 1,337 days, Pastor Jim Scudder crosses the finish line of the series on the book of Acts at Quentin Road Baptist Church. He starts with Acts 28:30-31, then does a little detective work across the prison epistles to piece together what happened in those hidden years: the Praetorian Guard hearing the gospel one chained soldier at a time, the saints in Caesar's own household, rivals who preached out of envy, and friends who stood beside him, including a young man named John Mark who had once walked out on Paul and was now useful to him. It's never too late. Along the way, Pastor Scudder traces the likely path from house arrest to Spain to a second, harsher imprisonment, to a crown of righteousness. He closes with seven lessons from Acts and the reason the book may end the way it does. The story isn't over. Will you finish strong? Scripture referenced: 2 Timothy 4:6-7; Acts 28:30-31; Ephesians 6:20; Philippians 1:12-14; Philippians 4:22; Philippians 1:15-17; Philippians 4:4; Colossians 4:10-14; Romans 15:28; 2 Timothy 1:16-18; 2 Timothy 4:7-8; Acts 1:8

Frogs, Flies, and a Flustered Pharaoh

Frogs in the bedroom, frogs in the ovens, frogs in the kneading bowls. Lice that no magician could copy. Swarms of biting flies, dying cattle, boils, hail with fire inside, locusts, and three days of darkness. It all sounds random, until you learn that every one of these plagues was aimed at a different god of Egypt. In this message from the series Is The Old Testament Obsolete?, Pastor Jim Scudder opens Exodus 8 through 10 at Quentin Road Baptist Church and walks through plagues two through nine, showing how each one took on an idol Egypt trusted, from the frog-headed god of fertility to the sun god himself. He explains why only God can make life from dust, why Pharaoh kept saying I have sinned and kept going right back to it, and why being sorry about the consequences is not repentance. Pride destroys. Humility blesses. Pharaoh would not bow, but Pastor Scudder warns that the human heart is a perpetual idol factory, and that if you will not humble yourself, God will do it for you. The shepherd king defeats the serpent king, and the same Lord who brought darkness on Egypt rose on the third day as the Light of the world. Scripture referenced: Psalm 119:89; Acts 7:36; Exodus 8:1-3; Exodus 8:13-15; Exodus 8:17-19; Exodus 8:24; Psalm 78:45; Exodus 8:31-32; Exodus 9:3-4; Exodus 9:10-12; Matthew 23:12; Exodus 9:18; Exodus 9:23-24; Exodus 9:27; Exodus 10:3-5; Exodus 10:22-23; Exodus 10:27-29

The Seventh Sense

Waist-deep snow, shorts, two granola bars, and a wife on his back. Jace Herriman freely admits his sixth sense was broken the day he and his wife kept climbing a mountain trail long after every sign said turn around. But he is not the only one who has trusted his senses and gotten it badly wrong. In this Wednesday night message at Quentin Road Baptist Church, Jace opens Genesis 27 and follows old, blind Isaac as he tries to work out which of his sons is standing in front of him. He sees, he touches, he hears, he tastes, he smells, and all along something in his gut says this does not add up. Isaac uses every sense he has and still gets it wrong. Why? And what should you do when the news is full of spin, people have an angle, and the truth is hard to find? There is a seventh sense that Isaac never once used, and it is available to every believer tonight. It costs nothing, and God promises to give it liberally. Come hear what it is, and why it could save you from your next bad call. Scripture referenced: Genesis 27:1-5; Genesis 27:8-35; James 1:5

The Hope of Israel

After a shipwreck, a snakebite, and more than a hundred miles on foot, Paul finally reaches the capital of the world in chains. And the very first thing he does is call together the leaders of the Jews in Rome and tell them why he is wearing that chain: for the hope of Israel. What, or who, is the hope of Israel? In this Wednesday night message from the series on the book of Acts, Pastor Jim Scudder opens Acts 28 at Quentin Road Baptist Church and traces the final leg of Paul's journey from Malta to Sicily, from Puteoli to the Appian Way. Brethren walk miles to meet him on the road, a Roman centurion lets him live under house arrest with a single soldier, and Paul turns every hardship into a pulpit. Pastor Scudder shows why whatever God sends your way can be used for his glory, and why the church owes the Jewish people its love and its gospel. Then comes the day-long meeting in Paul's lodging, from the law of Moses and the prophets from morning till evening. Some believed and some did not, and Paul closes with Isaiah's warning about hardened hearts. How far will you walk to bring the hope of Israel to the world? Scripture referenced: Acts 28:11; Acts 28:12-14; Acts 28:15; Acts 28:16; Acts 23:11; Acts 28:17-29
