  • It's A Wonderful Life Ii

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Dec 2, 2024
     | 506 views

    I wonder how many people have been touched by this simple film. People who have seen it have testified that it gave them hope. Hope is what Christmas is all about. The Scripture passages we read this morning are all about hope.

    Every year about this time television stations bring out of their vaults an old black and white film that is still popular today. They have already shown it this year. The film is It’s a Wonderful Life. In the film, George Bailey never felt like he amounted to much in life. He had dreams of ...read more

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 27, 2024
     | 585 views

    Even when we know that God is behind the change, fear can still be present.

    Our church is entering a month of change. I think most of you know what I'm talking about. As most of you know, this is my last month to serve as pastor of Southeast Baptist Church. You may have noticed today that we have several that are not here that normally are here. That is because ...read more

  • The Major Events At The Cross Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 27, 2024
     | 171 views

    John was an eyewitness of the crucifixion, and he closed his account of the crucifixion by saying “the man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true…that you also may believe.”

    The most significant event in history is the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. We are saved by His death. Because He died, we live. But there IS a condition. We have to believe, and it’s the necessity for belief that John stressed throughout his gospel. He was an eyewitness of the crucifixion, and ...read more

     | 106 views

    Our scene flows along with Pilate moving back and forth to Jesus and to His accusers or the people. Eight times in this passage Pilate moves back and forth, showing how indecisive he was in this matter.

  • The Cowardly Denial Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 27, 2024
     | 129 views

    A descriptive picture of cowardly denial—the cowardly denial of both the world and a close disciple of the Lord’s. It graphically shows what the Lord faces day by day.

    When you look at tonight’s title you probably are saying that tonight’s study is about Peter’s denial of Christ, and you’re right. But it’s about more than that. Tonight’s passage is a descriptive picture of cowardly denial—the cowardly denial of both the world and a close disciple of the Lord’s. ...read more

  • The Conquest Of Fear Series

    Through Jesus’ death, He conquered the fear of death. Jesus’ death conquers fear for the genuine believer.

    Last time we witnessed, along with the Apostle John, the crucifixion of Jesus. We were with Him to the end when He proclaimed, “It is finished.” He showed no fear as He gave His life that we might live. Through Jesus’ death, He conquered the fear of death. Jesus’ death conquers fear for the ...read more

  • Growing In Christ Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 12, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 755 views

    In this process of being grounded in and sharing Christ, we should be growing in Christ. For a church to survive, for a Christian to remain strong in their conviction, each of us needs to be growing in Christ.

    Let's start off today by imagining a friend that gives you the gift of a new road bike. You always dreamed of taking a bike out on the road and you're now equipped and outfitted to hit the road. But what if you never used that bicycle? The gift by itself doesn't take you places and ...read more

  • An Authentic Church Shares Christ

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 6, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 459 views

    Today we're going to use several familiar passages of Scripture to stress the importance of us sharing Christ with the world. Telling others about Jesus is what helps to make a church be an authentic church. Authentic, because we truly care about other's salvation.

    It is mind boggling to think about how much information is shared through social media. People record videos, they filter photos, and they post updates. It's common in today's world for people to share private moments and public thoughts about anything and everything--- almost. The ...read more

  • A Church Built On Christ Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 16, 2024
     | 538 views

    Just what is it that makes a church authentic? The greatest challenge that we find as we try to follow Jesus is dedicating ourselves to the truth of the Scripture in a culture that tends to base their lives on their own opinions instead of on the truth of God's word.

    I don't think I need to tell any of you that our church is going through a new phase. We are about to enter into a new stage of growth for this church beginning in January. I have asked God what words can I bring to the church that would make this transition a lot easier so that we can remain ...read more

    You have heard similar stories I am sure. This is a true story of a Pastor in Brazil who was loved, respected, and faithful to Christ in every way. But it hadn't always been that way. He came from a generation of alcoholics and was himself addicted to alcohol. He spent so much money on ...read more

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 2, 2024
     | 334 views

    As God's creation, our lives are supposed to point to the glory of our Creator. God calls us to live for His glory. And it's in His glory that we find our greatest purpose.

    Let's start off today talking about art. I am no artist but I appreciate art. When we look at a piece of art, we don't marvel over the canvas that it's painted on, or the type of paint that is used. We marvel over the artist. I am amazed how an artist can paint his thoughts on a ...read more

  • God's Character

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Sep 25, 2024
     | 574 views

    We can discern the voice of God in others and ourselves if it reveals and exemplifies God's character.

    For the past few weeks, we have been talking about trying to discern if what we are hearing and reading is truly coming from God. Now, I believe that God speaks to people. But I have to challenge some people when they declare that God told them something and I knew it wasn't right. Have you ...read more
