    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 3, 2011
     | 7,796 views

    Baptists have a distinctive history, with some soaring moments and yet with some dismal ones as well. There is much to correct, but the good news is that we remain committed to missions and evangelism.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC, Feb. 4, 1996 They came out of nowhere.

     | 4,377 views

    We all have our giants to face in today's society. Our giants may be our fears, our difficult challenges, our health or our finances. Let us battle our giants as those in our Bible have done so in the past.

    We have been talking, over the past few weeks, about some of the challenges we’ve all been facing. Some, more than others but nonetheless, challenges… and how they tore at our hearts and, more sadly, tore at our faith. I like to think of these challenges as our giants. What is a giant to you? They ...read more

    In our walk with Jesus, there comes a time when we will have to decide whether we want to follow Jesus all the way or will abandon our walk mid-way. This is a challenge which Jesus posed to his disciples,"Do you also wish to go away?" (Jn 6:67)

    This sermon takes us through the bulk of Judges 6 mostly as a narrative with some insight included. It then returns to vs 13 where Gideon accuses God of abandonment. Compares Gideon's doubts w/David's eagerness w/Goliath. Then asks, "How about you?"

    We’ve been taking a look at the life of Gideon, one of the Judges of Israel in the Old Testament. Was he someone we should model our lives after, someone we should avoid or something in between? Hebrews 11:32-34 “(32) And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, ...read more
