    The Baptism Of Jesus

    Contributed by Carl Greene on Feb 16, 2009
     | 7,488 views

    A brief background about John the Baptizer, who was Mark, and why would Jesus have to be Baptized? This was preached on a Sunday morning when an adult Baptism was performed.

    The Baptism of Jesus This morning, we’ll begin taking a walk through the Gospel of Mark. It seems to me it’s probably a good idea to know a little about Mark as we begin this journey. And after we come to know a little more about Mark, we’ll look at what happened one day in a river long ago and ...read more

    Being A Soldier Of Christ

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 16, 2020
     | 5,824 views

    What does it take to be a soldier for Christ? This message ends with a bold statement of being a soldier for Christ and was delivered with soft background music. Very heart-touching.

    This past Wednesday was Veteran’s Day. I don’t want to let that day go by without honoring our veterans and thanking them for their service. After all, if it wasn’t for their service, we might not have the freedoms that we have. But in 2 Timothy 2: 1-4, Paul talks about being a soldier for ...read more

    And It Was Night

     | 4,976 views

    Metaphorically speaking, the clock is ticking away in the background. The countdown has begun. Gethsemane lies ahead: as does our Lord’s betrayal, trial and death.

    AND IT WAS NIGHT. John 13:21-32. As the Lord’s ‘hour’ drew near that He should depart out of this world, He turned His attention more and more to ‘His own’ (John 13:1). After the foot-washing and the teaching which immediately followed it, Jesus “was troubled in spirit” (John 13:21). ...read more

    It matters not your heritage nor your race nor anything in your background to be counted a son or daughter of Abraham. All that matters is your faith in Jesus Christ.

    Matthew 15:21-28 A Bold Woman 3/8/15 Introduction “Safe?” said Mr. Beaver. “Don’t you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good.

    First in a series on Joseph’s life and character. This one deals with his family background and how God removed him to build him into a man He could use.

    Trinity Baptist Church June 11, 2006 Character on Display Exiled for Good Genesis 37 People have said that character can be measured by how you act when no one’s watching -- and how you treat people who can do you no good -- and how you treat people who can’t fight back.

     | 4,771 views

    The way into the Kingdom is by response to an invitation to come – not by justice (working for your wages). All people, regardless of background, can respond to God’s invitation and be rewarded with eternal life.

    In a rather shocking story that Jesus told to a crowd of people, he shared with them that the ways of God’s relating to people are actually quite a bit different from our rules of fairness, justice, and good economic principles. Listen now as I’ll tell you a story like Jesus told it – it comes ...read more

    Everyday God allows us the freedom to choose. I wonder sometimes what makes two people for the same background, upbringing, moral values, choose totally different.

    Choices Luke 23:32-43 Life is full of choices, we make some everyday. We choose to get up; we choose what we will wear, what we will eat and what we will do for the day. We choose right or wrong everyday. Isn’t amazing how two people with very similar backgrounds can make totally ...read more
