Giving is not simply about what we have. It is about what God's grace enables us to do.
In this special Missions Month message at New Beginning Baptist Fellowship, Ben Sinclair, Executive Director of Baptist World Missions, shares biblical principles concerning the grace of giving from 2 Corinthians 8:1–12.
God's grace is His enabling power to accomplish His will. When His grace works in our hearts, it changes not only how we view giving but also our willingness to participate in His work.
This message highlights four important principles:
Give in spite of circumstances (vv. 1–2).
Give enthusiastically (vv. 3–4).
Give as Christ gave (vv. 5–9).
Give willingly (vv. 10–12).
As we begin Missions Month, this message challenges believers to consider how God's grace can work through their generosity to support the spread of the Gospel.
“For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.” — 2 Corinthians 8:9 (KJV)

Because of what Christ has done, we have peace for today and hope for tomorrow.
Life can change unexpectedly. Plans fall apart, difficulties arise, and the future sometimes feels uncertain. But through Jesus Christ, believers have an unshakable foundation for peace, confidence, and hope.
In this encouraging KJV Bible message, Pastor Keith Seiber explores Romans 5:1–11 and reveals three powerful truths:
We have peace because Jesus Christ has made us right with God through justification by faith.
We have hope because God is still working in our lives, even through trials and difficulties.
We have confidence because God's love was demonstrated at Calvary and our risen Savior continues to sustain us.
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” — Romans 5:1
Whatever yesterday held, God still has a purpose for tomorrow. There are souls to reach, people to encourage, and opportunities to serve Him.
Our circumstances may change, but the promises of God remain sure.
Discover how to move forward with renewed faith, lasting peace, and joyful expectation because of the finished work of Jesus Christ.

If God be for us, who can be against us?
When life brings sorrow, uncertainty, and heartache, where can we find hope that will not fail?
In this comforting KJV Bible message, Pastor Keith Seiber explores Romans 8:31–39 and reminds us that God's love is not measured by our circumstances but demonstrated through the finished work of Jesus Christ.
Discover five reassuring truths: God is for those who belong to Christ, He has answered every charge against the believer, Jesus died and rose again and now intercedes for us, nothing can separate us from His love, and God continues working even when we cannot understand His ways.
“Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” — Romans 8:37
Whether you are facing grief, discouragement, fear, or an uncertain future, this message offers biblical assurance, the hope of the resurrection, and the comfort of God's unfailing promises.
Our circumstances may change, but God's love in Christ never will.

What do you do when you pray with faith, but God's answer is still no?
You prayed for healing, but the sickness remains. You asked for an open door, but it stayed closed. You begged God to remove the burden, but you're still carrying it.
In this encouraging KJV Bible message, Pastor Keith Seiber examines the Apostle Paul's thorn in the flesh and discovers how to trust God's sovereign will when life doesn't go as planned.
Through 2 Corinthians 12:7–9, we explore four life-changing truths: unanswered prayer, God's purpose in suffering, the gift of sustaining grace, and the power of Christ in our weakness.
Jesus told Paul, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9
Sometimes God doesn't remove the burden. Instead, He supplies the grace and strength to carry us through it.
The answer was not removal. The answer was reliance.
When God says no, it doesn't mean He has stopped loving you, listening to you, or working in your life.
The thorn may remain, but so does His grace. And His grace is enough.
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:7–9 (KJV)Speaker: Pastor Keith SeiberChurch: New Beginning Baptist Fellowship
 

Just because you can't see God moving doesn't mean He isn't working.
What do you do when prayers seem unanswered, the path ahead is unclear, and God seems silent?
In this encouraging KJV Bible message, Pastor Keith Seiber explores Job 23:8–10 and reveals how to keep trusting God through suffering, uncertainty, and life's most difficult seasons.
Discover three powerful truths:
God's ways are often hidden — His silence does not mean His absence.
God's knowledge is always certain — He knows every step of your journey.
God's purpose is always refining — Your trials can strengthen your faith and draw you closer to Him.
Job declared, “But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” — Job 23:10
When you can't trace God's hand, you can still trust His heart.
Don't quit. Don't lose hope. Keep moving forward in faith. God isn't finished with you!
Scripture: Job 23:8–10 (KJV)Speaker: Pastor Keith SeiberChurch: New Beginning Baptist Fellowship
 
 

Abraham looked forward. We look back. But it has always been the same God, the same faith, and the same Savior.
Were people in the Old Testament saved differently than believers today?
In Galatians 3:6–9, Pastor Keith Seiber demonstrates that salvation has always been by God's grace through faith—not by keeping the Law, religious ceremonies, or good works.
Using Abraham's remarkable testimony, this KJV Bible message explores four powerful truths:
Credited: Abraham believed God, and righteousness was counted to him.
Children: All who believe share Abraham's blessing through faith, while God's promises to Israel remain intact.
Christ Preached Beforehand: The Gospel was promised long before Bethlehem, pointing forward to Jesus Christ.
Company: Believers today are blessed alongside faithful Abraham.
“And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.” — Genesis 15:6
Discover why the Old and New Testaments proclaim one way of salvation, how Abraham's covenant points to Calvary, and why the Church has not replaced Israel in God's prophetic plan.
The promises are distinct. The way of salvation is one.
Abraham looked forward to God's promised Redeemer. We look back to Christ's finished work.
Same God. Same faith. Same Savior.

You did not begin by grace to finish by grit.
In Galatians 3:1–5, the Apostle Paul confronts believers who began their Christian lives by faith but were being deceived into depending upon religious works. In this KJV Bible message, Pastor Keith Seiber examines the danger of false teaching, the sufficiency of Christ's finished work, and the Holy Spirit's power in Christian living.
Through three powerful truths, The Spell, The Sight, and The Spirit, we discover how easily believers can drift from grace into performance-based Christianity.
Paul asks, “Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” — Galatians 3:3
The Christian life is not about earning God's acceptance through religious effort. The same God who saved us by grace continues His work in us through His Spirit.
This message also explores the danger of spiritual deception, the importance of keeping our eyes on Christ crucified, the security of salvation, and the loving discipline of our heavenly Father.
Grace did not merely get you started. God supplies what you need to keep growing.
Stop looking at your performance. Look again to the cross.
You did not begin by grace to finish by grit.

The only way from Mount Sinai to Mount Zion is through Mount Calvary.
In Hebrews 12:18–24, Pastor Keith Seiber traces the Gospel through three mountains: Mount Sinai, Mount Zion, and Mount Calvary.
At Sinai, we see the holiness of God, the weight of the Law, and the terror of sinful man standing before a righteous God. Israel trembled before the mountain because God's perfect standard exposed their need for redemption.
At Zion, the scene changes completely. Believers have come to “the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem,” where the redeemed, the angels, and the saints of God gather in His presence.
But how do sinners move from the fear of Sinai to the joy of Zion?
Through Calvary.
Hebrews 12:24 points us to “Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.”
Abel's blood cried out for justice. Christ's blood speaks mercy. His sacrifice satisfied the judgment of God, paid our sin debt, and opened the way into the presence of God.
Sinai shows us our guilt.Calvary shows us our Savior.Zion shows us our destination.
There is no other way from Mount Sinai to Mount Zion but through Mount Calvary.
Have you come to Christ? Or are you still standing at the foot of Sinai trying to reach God by your own righteousness?

Christ did not die so I could live for me. He died so He could live in me.
In Galatians 2:16–21, Paul takes us to the heart of the Gospel: justification by faith, our crucifixion with Christ, and the new life we now live in Him.
CLEARED: Justification is not a feeling—it is God's verdict. We are not declared righteous by keeping the law, being religious, or trying harder, but through faith in Jesus Christ. The verdict is in. The case is closed.
CRUCIFIED: Paul declares, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live.” The Christian life is not the old you trying harder to become better. The old man was crucified with Christ so that we might “live unto God.”
CLAIMED: “Yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.” Jesus did not merely save us for Heaven and leave us to struggle alone until we arrive. He lives in us. Our lives now belong to the One “who loved me, and gave himself for me.”
COSTLY: Grace is free to us, but it cost Christ everything. Paul therefore declares, “I do not frustrate the grace of God.” We must not try to add our works to Christ's finished work—or receive His grace and then live as though His death cost nothing.
Christ did not die in vain. And Christ did not die so I could live for me. He died so He could live in me.
Are you still trying to earn what Jesus already purchased? Are you staring at your failures instead of looking to Christ?
Look up. Look to Jesus. Look and live.

How long is your fuse?
In Sermon Thirteen of the “Wisdom’s Path” series, Pastor Keith Seiber examines what Scripture teaches about anger, bitterness, forgiveness, patience, and biblical wisdom.
Proverbs 14:29 says, “He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.”
The Bible does not teach that all anger is sinful. The question is what happens after the spark. Does anger drive us toward wisdom—or grow into wrath, bitterness, clamour, and a desire to get even?
This message traces bitterness back to its roots and gives a powerful warning: some things may have been handed down to you—but they do not have to be handed down through you. By God's grace, the cycle can stop with you.
The message then turns to the remarkable Hebrew expression behind “slow to wrath.” The same language used in Proverbs describes God Himself in Exodus 34:6 as “longsuffering.” Our God is slow to anger—His patience is part of His revealed character.
But God's patience does not mean sin goes unpunished. At Calvary, divine justice and mercy meet. Instead of taking vengeance ourselves, Christians can put down the sword and trust the perfectly just God.
“Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” — Romans 12:19
The message closes with Corrie ten Boom's powerful account of extending forgiveness to a former Ravensbrück guard and five practical steps for dealing biblically with anger and bitterness.
You don't have to wait until you feel like forgiving.
Put down the sword. Let go of the bitterness. Draw from God's supply.
How long is your fuse? As long as the One you are abiding in.
