The Bible - A Trustworthy Guide To Faith And Practice
Contributed on Jun 7, 2026
As Protestants (and Baptists), we consider the Bible alone to be our source of truth regarding what God wants us to believe and to do. Here’s why, and why that matters.
Good morning! This week, we begin a series on key Baptist doctrines. And when I say “Baptist” doctrines, I don’t mean just those teachings which are specific to Baptists, or which distinguish us as Baptists. That would be a short list. Because most of what we believe is common to all branches of ...read more

The Trinity In Relationship
Contributed on Jun 7, 2026
The Trinity tells us that we worship one God in three persons. But it also tells us that relationship is fundamental to who God is, and therefore to who we are as well.
Good morning! Last week was the last Sunday of the Easter Season, which runs from Resurrection Sunday through Pentecost. And today is Trinity Sunday, a day on which Christian churches in many different traditions celebrate the Trinity. So that’s the topic of my sermon this morning, the Trinity. ...read more

The Spirit Of Holiness (Pentecost Sunday)
Contributed on May 31, 2026
The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Holiness, enables us to live godly lives. He can also give us the desire for holiness.
Good morning! Today is Pentecost Sunday, the final Sunday of the Easter season, which began on Resurrection Sunday, or Easter. Christians refer to this day as “Pentecost” after the Greek work for fiftieth, because it is 50 days after Easter (if you include both Sundays in the total). Pentecost is ...read more

Jesus Is Coming. Look Busy!
Contributed on May 15, 2026
On Ascension Sunday, we reflect on the meaning of Christ’s departure, and also his return. Why did he leave, instead of setting up his kingdom immediately? So that he could fill up heaven! That is why he left us the task of being his witnesses. Let’s get to work!
Good morning! We continue today our celebration of the Easter season, the seven weeks between Resurrection Sunday and Pentecost Sunday. During this time, we focus on our risen Savior, Jesus Christ, and we reflect on what his victory over death means to us as his followers. Today is known as ...read more

Saved Through Childbearing - Mother’s Day
Contributed on May 13, 2026
Paul tells us in 1 Timothy 2:15 that women will be “saved through childbearing”. What in the world does he mean by that? And how is it an encouragement to mothers and everyone else?
Good morning, and happy Mother’s Day! I’d like to invite the mothers here this morning to stand, if you are able. Let’s give our mothers a round of applause. All right, please be seated. You deserve that, mothers. And much more. Because motherhood is hard work. It is a critical role, but it is ...read more

37,000 Species Of Fish And 400,000 Species Of Beetles!
Contributed on Apr 9, 2026
We all need to accept and value one another, in all of our glorious variety, and not try to fit people into a mold or expect them to be just like us. Because it is an undeniable fact that God loves variety. Consider the natural world, for example. In this world that God designed and created, ...read more

Democracy Vs. The Kingdom Of God
Contributed on Mar 29, 2026
It’s a bit difficult for us, living in 21st-century America, to understand and accept the principle of God’s kingship, because we don’t live in a monarchy or a dictatorship, as did the people of Biblical times. We live in a representative democracy, under a Constitution. In our form of government, ...read more
