    Effectual Fervent Prayers

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 15, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,297 views

    James 5:16 tells us 3 things about prayer: 1). The Kind of Person we must be to pray it, 2). The Kind of Prayer which must be prayed, and 3). The Effect of a persistent, believing prayer.

    EFFECTUAL FERVENT PRAYERS James 5:16B-18 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Preacher’s Kids often Play Church 1. Johnny’s mother looked out the window and noticed him “playing church” with their cat. The cat was sitting quietly and he was preaching to it. She smiled and went about her work. 2. A while ...read more

    There’s Always More

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 15, 2023
     | 2,248 views

    Even when we feel drained physically and financially, we still need to offer what resources we do have - and in so doing, find that we can do more than we thought.

    I have a lot of fellow feeling for the disciples in today’s story. I expect all of us who have put so much time and effort into VBS do, too. It’s done! We can put our feet up and have something to eat, talk about how everything went, see how well we did, maybe get a stroke or two for the old ego. ...read more

    Avoiding A Critical Spirit

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 19, 2023
     | 2,164 views

    There is a place for honestly confronting others when done in a loving and gracious way. Yet maturity means learning to guard our hearts from an unhelpful, critical spirit, as we'll learn in this story of Miriam and Aaron's criticism of Moses.

    It’s summertime folks. And the heat of Texas is here. And that heat causes many to be on edge—on edge enough to gripe or complain about the smallest of things. Do we have any complainers here today? This coming November, I will have been pastor here at SEBC for 27 years. Through those years I ...read more

    More Than A Mother

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 3, 2023
     | 1,755 views

    No matter how deep the scars that life has left us with, the mother-love of God can restore the broken places and refill the empty places. There is nothing that we have lost that cannot be transformed or redeemed.

    Many of you met my sister Kathleen and her son Brian when they came down for my installation. Brian is the only child in our generation, my mother’s only grandchild. And that’s surprising because, of the two of us, Kathleen didn’t want children and I did. I was the one who played with dolls. I was ...read more

    Sermon # 30 - The Blessings Of Obedience Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 9, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,266 views

    Obedience to God and His word has rewards, and disobedience also has its consequences. The experiences of some from the bible will help us learn how we too can be recipients of God’s blessings in our lives.

    We read in Genesis 22:18, “Every nation on the earth will be blessed through your descendants. I will do this because you obeyed me." (ERV) We also read in Genesis 3:14, “So the LORD God said to the snake, "Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all the wild or domestic ...read more

    Must The Stones Cry Out?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 12, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,020 views

    Jesus said the stones would cry out if His disciples didn't praise Him. We’re looking at why praise had to rise, what kind of praise they offered, the opposition to His praise, and how all this effects us.

    MUST THE STONES CRY OUT? Lk. 19:35-40 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Coming Up Short 1. A robber went into a convenience store. He picked up a pack of gum and approached the cashier. He handed the gum & a $20 bill to the cashier. The cashier opened the cash register & turned to scan the gum. As ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 508 views

    The Spirit of Truth is the Lawyer God has appointed on our behalf representing His State -- the Kingdom of God.

    The COVID-19 pandemic has forced our lives into isolation. However, one blessing this isolation has brought me is having some spare time. Last week, I used some of this extra time to open a medium-sized box that had not been opened for many years. The box contains some of my personal belongings ...read more

    Sermon # 35 - The Heart Of A Christian Leader Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 18, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 321 views

    Jonah was a prophet of God, but he did not understand the loving heart of God towards a repentant people. The heart of Moses as a leader of the Israelites and the forgiving heart of Jesus are the best examples of how a Christian leader should love and care for the people under his or her care.

    We read in Jonah 4:1, “Jonah was very unhappy about this and became angry.” (GNB) There are two kinds of emotions that Jonah expressed as mentioned in the verse above, one was sadness, and the other was anger. As we meditate on this portion of scripture, we will try to understand the reasons for ...read more

    What if Jesus had not been born? What if He'd never existed? Would that have made any difference?

    Today’s sermon is going to focus on the question: “What If Jesus Had Never Been born? What if Jesus had never existed? What difference would that have made? In keeping with our sermon series, we’re focusing on secular Christmas music, and this Sunday’s song is an old classic by Elvis Presley ...read more

    A Storm Called Fear

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jan 4, 2025
     | 1,185 views

    Fear is one of the most common things Christians have to face. We need to distinguish between the enemy or danger and the fear that the enemy or danger produces, and know how to deal with the fear.

    INTRODUCTION Today is the first Sunday of 2025. Happy New Year! I thought that at the start of the year I would review a couple of the most basic aspects of Christian life. I have given the title of today’s talk, ‘A storm called fear.’ It’s about fear, worry and anxiety. Next Sunday, we’re ...read more

    Sermon: Seeking And Abiding In The Kingdom Of God, A New Year Challenge

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jan 7, 2025
     | 757 views

    If we are taking care of God’s business as a priority—seeking His salvation, living in obedience to Him, and sharing the good news of the kingdom with others—then He will take care of our business as He promised—and if that’s the arrangement, why not try it?

    Sermon: Seeking and Abiding in the Kingdom of God Scripture: Matthew 6:31-33 “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the ...read more

    A Christmas Message For December 22, 2024 Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 9, 2025
     | 747 views

    Jesus is the greatest Christmas gift ever! John showed how that even though He was rejected, more often than not, some from that day to this still receive Him as Lord and Savior.

    A Christmas Message for December 22, 2024 (based on a sermon preached at New Hope Baptist Church near Fulton, MO on 12-22-2024. This is not an exact transcription.)

    All Who Touch Him Are Healed

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 17, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,475 views

    One-fifth of the 4 Gospels speak of Jesus' healing ministry. Not only did He heal people, but He trained and empowered His disciples to heal people, and gave that same commission to the Church. Are we following in His footsteps?

    ALL WHO TOUCH HIM ARE HEALED Mt. 14:36 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR I thought I broke my ankle the other night when I tripped over a Kleenex box, but the doctor said it was only tissue damage. B. TEXT “And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People ...read more
