    Contributed by William Hooper on Feb 25, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 13,193 views

    This is the second of a series of messages on the signs in the Gospel of John.

    Take Jesus at His Word John 4:42-54 "Jesus replied, "You may go. Your son will live." The man took Jesus at his word and departed... So he and all his household believed" (John 4:50, 53, NIV). John’s purpose for writing his gospel is found toward the end of the book in verses 30-31: "But ...read more

    Unlocking Potential (August 13, 2017).

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
     | 6,210 views

    One of the things that parable points out is that actions have consequences. That means that we have choices that have consequences both good and bad.

    UNLOCKING POTENTIAL Text: Matthew 13:31 - 33 Have you ever underestimated the potential of anything? It only takes a spark to get a fire going right? Just think of the potential that lies within a match. One match has the potential to burn down a forest. When Jesus told the ...read more

    Thorns And Grace (July 2012).

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
     | 7,056 views

    Perhaps one of the most intriguing passages of scripture is that of Paul's mention of the "thorn in his flesh." Paul expounded upon his metaphor of the thorn as he said that it was something that kept his pride in check.

    THORNS AND GRACE 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 I remember going barefoot as a ten year old kid, when I was living in Aiken as a preacher’s kid. As I was going barefoot, I wound up stepping on a board that had three nails in it. The pain got my attention and definitely ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,334 views

    If we will stand on the rock and keep our children covered, Almighty God WILL save them!

    When you are interceding for your lost loved ones, do you ever feel like you’re just wasting time? Do you feel like Rizpah, like you’re just covering for the dead? Does it feel like the people you are interceding for are a lost cause? Do you wonder if the Lord is really listening? Well, He hasn’t ...read more

    Also did you know that in order to have fire you must have three things come together in a chain reaction. You need heat, fuel and oxygen, and if you take away any one of the three the fire will begin to go out.

    I first want to thank Brother Ron and Brother Buddy for agreeing to do this three Church Revival. I also want to thank you the members of Union, Magee’s creek and Holly Springs for being here tonight. Maybe your not the ones who need to here tonight’s message, but maybe you are.

    We should be amazed at the greatness of our salvation.

    A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates.

    This Guy "gets It": The Story Of Barnabas Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021
     | 3,317 views

    If you look at the five leaders in Acts 13, they represent 3 continents and 4 different racial groups. The reason they were called Christians in Antioch is because gospel has the ability to break down walls like nothing else

    Memorial Day Video ahead of me. Today we wrap our 6-week series in the middle of Acts by looking at Barnabas. Barnabas is in fact his nickname. Now, sometimes we can be cruel with our nicknames. We can call a big man “tiny” or a slow-footed person “lightening.” When we think about some of our ...read more

    Following Jesus: But What Happens When I Blow It? Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 21, 2022
     | 1,852 views

    Even a saint like Peter "blew it" when he denied he knew Jesus. Eventually he was restored to a place of service for the Lord. What happens, or what should I do, when I blow it?

    Note: (Edited from a sermon preached in August 2022 at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO) Introduction: One reality few of us as believers want to admit is that first, we were born sinners. Paul wrote “All have sinned and come short of God’s Glory (Romans 3:23, paraphrased)” and none of us would ...read more

    The Day Of Visitation (Palm Sunday 2019)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 26, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,757 views

    The display that they gave Jesus in His triumphal entry proved to be superficial over the next few days. They praised Him at the beginning of the week and voted for His crucifixion on Friday of that same week.

    THE DAY OF VISITATION Text: Luke 19:28-44 In his book Strengthening Your Grip, Charles Swindoll made an interesting observation that is probably not so easily perceived very often---the difference between discipleship and prophecy. He said,"Christians all around the world will line up to ...read more

    Seizing The Day ( 2012)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Nov 4, 2022
     | 1,681 views

    So how do we honestly number our days (Psalm 90:12)? Consider Ephesians 5:15-16: "Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil" (RSV).

    Ephesians 5: 15. Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, 16. making the most of the time, because the days are evil. 17. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be ...read more

    Three Crosses On A Hill: A Study In Evangelism

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 6, 2022
     | 1,589 views

    When we preach about the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for our sins upon the cross, we forget that there were also two men crucified on crosses next to Him. Each man had the opportunity to look to Jesus for grace and mercy. Their response determined their eternal destiny.

    The agony of the crucifixion and the final hours of Jesus are recorded in all four gospels, each written with their own unique perspective of what happened that dark day (Matthew 27; Mark 15; Luke 23; John 19). Each one tells of the jeering, mockery, contempt, and seething hatred towards the ...read more

    David And Goliath Series

    Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Nov 11, 2022
     | 3,049 views

    The story of David and Goliath has come to embody the struggle of the little guy – the underdog – the bullied who takes on the bully and knocks him off his pedestal - vanquishing the baddies from the land.

    November 12, 2022 *** DISCLAIMER *** I did a sermon in 2016 entitled, "Giants", which has been uploaded to this website. Since the story of David and Goliath is so loved, it was requested when we began our "Bible Stories" series. So, here is the 2022 version. ...read more
