     | 1,664 views

    Each one of us should be involved in improving our relationship with God. We should be committed to knowing what His Word calls us to do, and we set out to do this with ONE purpose – to develop “a proven character”; to show people Who it is we serve … and WHY we willingly serve Him!

    “Living Like a Follower” - Philippians, Part 5 Philippians Sermon Series, Part 5 Philippians 2:12-24 Introduction - Reminder about our level-set from series opener: 1. Christians must reflect the joy of Christ in everything we do 2. This means you and I are to make the Gospel ...read more

    Following Jesus, Even Through Trials And Tests Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 28, 2022
     | 2,592 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

    The persecution forced the church to decisions that would unlock the full potential of the Church in terms of scope, efficiency, and effectiveness. The Church at Jerusalem became the Church on the move. We are a part of that movement.

    Sermon – When Following Jesus Gets Hard

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,275 views

    This simple plain teaching of Jesus was too much to bear. Rather than change their minds, they walk away. This is the fundamental reason people reject Jesus Christ: He doesn't coordinate with their own selfish interests.

    Sermon – When Following Jesus Gets Hard Scripture - John 6:66-69 “At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him. Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you also going to leave?” Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. ...read more
