    To mold means to “guide or influence the growth or development of somebody or something”. This is what God seeks to do with every believer. He wants to make and mold us into the image of his son Jesus. But this process is often a difficult one to endure.

    MOLDED INTRODUCTION: To mold means to “guide or influence the growth or development of somebody or something”. This is what God seeks to do with every believer. He wants to make and mold us into the image of his son Jesus. The question is-how well is that molding process going? ...read more

    Contributed by Bryan Beverly on Nov 3, 2014
     | 5,960 views

    This message is designed to help us to consider: (1) whether ‘the spirit of the law’ endures beyond ‘the letter of the law’ and (2) whether God’s silence is a synonym of His absence or His affirmation.

    The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2Speak to the people of Israel and say to them: I am the Lord your God. 3You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived, and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, to which I am bringing you.

It is a message that gives hope to each of us who are struggling with sin, whether it be the consequences of sin in this life, or the consequences of sin that we must face in the Day of Judgment.

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 28, 2022
     | 2,347 views

    James, the half-brother of the Lord Jesus, knew about trials and tests. His words to believers of his day are just as true for us of these days, too. In a sentence, he'd say "Endure the test and receive a reward".

    Full disclosure: this is edited from a message preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO in August 2022 Introduction: Many of us think following Jesus is going to be a walk in the park, so to speak, but that isn’t always true. Certainly, as He promised, He’s there with us, but trials and tests ...read more

    Life is often a matter of focus? As we follow Christ, we can focus on the struggles and persecution we might endure. Or we can focus on the benefits, eternal and glorious, of continuing to follow Christ. Hebrews 2 encourages us to do the latter.
