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

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 21, 2022

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

Get It Right Sermon Iv: Living Out Of Reverence For Christ Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Mar 30, 2020

How we Christians approach living the rest of our days with reference to our personal relationships matters - if we truly desire to reverence God via wise choices that lead to acceptable, appropriate behaviors.

Living the Rest of Our Days Out of Reverence for Christ “Only one life, ‘twill soon be past, only what’s done for Christ will last.” At the time I first heard this slogan, I of course had no earthly idea how long my life would last; gave it no ...read more

You've Got A Lot Going For You, Part 1: God The Father

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 29, 2019

Too many Christians feel inadequate to be any use to God or their church. Paul reminds the Ephesian Christians of the resources they have going for them.

In any church you’ll find some members who sit on the sidelines, feeling like they don’t really belong on the team. They have heard a number of times that God loves them, but in their hearts, they wonder. They feel a little lonely at church, a little on the sidelines. And they’d like to get to ...read more

You've Got A Lot Going For You, Part 2: The Trinity

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 29, 2019

It can be confusing to talk about serving one God who is 3 persons. We may think we can just ignore abstract ideas like that. But this part of the nature of our God is one of the richest blessings of being a Christian

Last week we started looking at the main body of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. He starts out with a very high falutin statement of the glory of God, listing first, blessings we have received through God the Father, then through God the Son, then through God the Holy Spirit. Starting out like ...read more

A Word To Fathers

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Dec 1, 2019

Parenting is one of the most important tasks of our lives, one of the greatest opportunities todo something that really matters. The Apostle Paul gives us important wisdom for how to do it well.

This is Father’s Day, a time to think about one of the most important tasks in any society. Being a parent, father or mother, is one of the most demanding, draining, frustrating jobs you will ever do. And it also may well be the most fulfilling job you ever do. They say that nobody complains on ...read more

3. The Breastplate Of Righteousness Series

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Dec 1, 2019

Our modern culture is desperate to feel good about itself. But God has provided a true way to feel good about ourselves, to feel good because we are doing good, and to find God's forgiveness when our own efforts fall short.

We are continuing to look at what the Apostle Paul called the whole armor of God. In his letter to the Ephesian Church, chapter 6, he talked about our world as a battle field. And he wasn't picturing the kind of battle like that occurred when we began our attack on Iraq, where our forces ...read more

Spiritual Zombies, Arise! (Ephesians 5:3-14) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 29, 2025

When we are saved, we move from death to life. When we go back to our old way of life, we become as a people who are dead, living in the dark. Paul urges, rise from the dead, and let Jesus' light shine on you again.

This week, we continue our Ephesians study, and we find ourselves picking up midstream in Paul's argument. What we've seen up to this point, is that God is a good and loving God, who acts rightly toward his people, showing them grace and kindness. And God is the process of creating one ...read more
