    Re-baptism is a practice of some Baptist churches. This message looks at re-baptism in the New Testament, and discusses how when a person’s baptism is done under the wrong belief system, then the individual needs to be re-baptized.

    I have entitled our message this morning, “The Baptism of John.” We have recently been learning about baptism, and today, I am going to be discussing false baptisms; and the best way to present this message is by looking at what the New Testament refers to as “the baptism of John.” This was a ...read more

    As long as we live on this earth we will be confronted with various perils and dangers, which often fill our hearts with apprehension about the future. God’s word of assurance is that He will Himself be with us in the midst of all our troubles.

    God Our Rescuer We read in Psalm 91:15, “When they call to me, I will answer them; when they are in trouble, I will be with them. I will rescue them and honor them.” (GNB) As we continue our study on Psalm 91, we will meditate in depth on verse 15. While verses 1 to 13 are a dialogue between two ...read more

     | 7,806 views

    One of the greatest dangers in life is the misunderstanding of a concept. Because of misunderstandings we have many different belief systems, different religious ideas, people have been called heretic, crazy, looney, and many other names all because there is a misunderstanding of concept.

     | 106 views

    Joy becomes the fragrance of a heart touched by the gospel, where obedience grows not from pressure but from Christ living within us.

    INTRODUCTION — CHILDREN’S SONG I want to begin tonight with something simple— something every one of us learned before we could spell “theology.” A children’s song. We didn’t realize it at the time, but that little song was preaching to us long before we understood it: “I’ve got the joy, joy, ...read more

    Parables Of The Kingdom – The Third - The Mustard Seed - Part 2 Of 4 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 15, 2025
     | 147 views

    Now we look into how paganism was sanctioned in the church. It happened under Emperor Constantine who married church and State. Pergamum means married twice. This Part considers much that Constantine did in making the mustard tree a monstrosity.

    PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE THIRD - THE MUSTARD SEED - PART 2 of 4 We continue from Part 1 and learn what the Parable of the Mustard Seed really means. The accepted meaning of the parable is not consistent with the scriptures as we began to see in the first Part. {{Matthew 13:31-32 He ...read more

    Any speech which is intended to mislead or deceive is offensive to God, whether or not you are under oath.

    I’ve been wracking my brains trying to find a lead-in to this week’s commandment without talking about things like political correctness and hate speech, fake news and cancel culture. Things like misinformation, disinformation and media bias. But the subject keeps popping up. Things like the ...read more

    Vital Signs

    Apocalyptic signs are signs of evil, not of the end of the world; they point us to a person, not to a particular time.

    You wouldn’t believe how many internet sites are devoted to Biblical prophecy about the end times. Or maybe you would. Some of them focus on natural disasters, some identify various world leaders as the Antichrist, others see events in Israel and the Middle East as key. One site highlights UFO’s, ...read more
