    Sermon: Rest For The Weary Series

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jan 31, 2023
     | 3,542 views

    Jesus, our blessed Redeemer never became too weary of his labor of love. He ministered to mass crowds, taught the disciples at night, rose early in the morning for prayer, faced relentless opposition and never gave up. Jesus found a rhythm in ministry. He knew when to work, and when to rest.

    Sermon: Rest For the Weary Scripture: Matt 11:25-28 “At that time Jesus prayed this prayer: “O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike. 26 Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this ...read more

     | 2,611 views

    According to Hebrews 11 and 12 we all can be heroes. Hebrews 11 is the hall of heroes and is used to encourage us that we too can be heroes If we face the race of faith with endurance, depend on God for empowerment, finish the race with excellence.

    Intro: Hebrews 11 is the hall of Heroes. As we walk down the corridor of Hebrews 11 we see Abraham, and Sarah, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, Gideon and other judges, David, Samuel. It is a virtual Bible’s Who’s Who. As we stroll through the hall of heroes we find that they all endured. God gave ...read more

    Many times, it takes years of failures and setbacks to become an "overnight success". Abraham Lincoln had two failed businesses, one nervous breakdown, endured the death of his sweetheart, and was defeated for public office no less than 10 times over the

     | 10,198 views

    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

    Does Time Change The Intent Of God's Will?

    Contributed by Bryan Beverly on Nov 3, 2014
     | 6,151 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. You shall not follow their statutes. 4My ...read more

    The Cost Of Abandoning Christ Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 18, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,320 views

    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.

    The Cost of Abandoning Christ Hebrews 2:5-14 A few years ago we had what we called a water bottle outreach at Lazy 5 Recreational Area. It was during one of the music festivals they used to have there, before Covid, on weekday summer evenings. We would hand out water bottles and invitations to ...read more

    Agony In Gethsemane Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 31, 2018
     | 9,557 views

    It is hard for us to comprehend the dual nature of Christ - being fully God and fully man. As He endured the agonies of Gethsemane, His humanity cried out regarding the physical suffering, while His deity cried out regarding the sin and separation.

    Agony in Gethsemane Mark 14: 32-42 As we continue to follow Jesus on this faithful night, His impending betrayal and crucifixion are drawing closer with each passing moment. Supper had ended, and along with the eleven, Jesus made His way from Jerusalem toward the Garden of Gethsemane. As they ...read more

    Following Jesus, Even Through Trials And Tests Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 28, 2022
     | 2,503 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

    In the story of "Ichabod: Where is the Glory?" we explore God's presence, human frailty, and His enduring faithfulness. It's a journey from despair to restoration, revealing God's unchanging love.

    Ichabod: Where is the Glory? Introduction: In our study of the book of Samuel, we come across a tragic event that signifies the departure of the glory of God from His people.

    Because we live in a fallen world, there will be times in our life when we will have to endure trials and difficulty. Job went through such a time; however, he had Someone to stand in his defense. Job called Him his Redeemer.

    I want to share with you this evening a message from the book of Job. 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.

    This exposition of Zechariah 2:10-13 is a message of hope and encouragement for God's people. Israel had endured humiliation and hardship when carried into captivity by Babylon. But God is working a plan for those who love him that is absolutely glorious.

    In our study of Zechariah, we have as our text today Zechariah 2:10-13. On February 15, 519 BC Zechariah was given eight visions which are recorded in chapters 1-6. Chapter 2 is his third vision.
