Knee Deep In Sheep

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 10, 2005

For Advent III, preached at First Baptist of Gaithersburg, MD. "We may be knee deep in sheep, but let this keep you as you sleep, it is joy we reap". God in Christ transforms the ordinariness of everyday, humdrum life.

We may be knee deep in sheep, but let this keep you as you sleep – it is joy we shall reap. Did you get all that? Too many rhyming words? Ah, but every one of them is important. Listen again: we may be knee deep in sheep, but let this keep you as you sleep – it is joy we shall reap. Now you ...read more

All Things New: Even Me

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 28, 2008

Interactive sermon, asking the people to identify what old things God is taking away, what new things He is leading us toward, what evidence there is of His work in the world and the church, and to what we will commit in prayer for 2009.

You would have to be obtuse indeed not to notice that the Bible is all about making old things new. The early pages of Genesis tell the story of our expulsion from the garden of delights because of our disobedience, and we discover how it so pained the heart of God for us to ignore Him that He ...read more

Only Human Series

Contributed by D Marion Clark on Sep 14, 2012

Paul tells the Corinth believers that they are not ready for solid food, not because their digestion system has not developed but because of attitude.

Introduction It would be good to review for a moment the discussion of the book so far. Paul is concerned about divisions in the church. The Corinth saints have begun to form parties, or at least identify themselves, under the names of church leaders. Chapter 1, verse 17, reveals what is at the ...read more

John's World

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Jun 15, 2015

Was John only the apostle of love, or also the prophet of judgment? Was he "free will" as in John 3:16, or "predestination" as in John 6:37. To ask these things about him is really to ask them about the One he quoted. Jesus does not fit into our boxes...

John’s World… Did John contradict John in regards to the doctrines of grace? Whose side was he on, after all? It wasn’t just Paul! There’s a real opposition in the evangelical church to what they call “Calvinism”, but what Spurgeon called “Bible.” ...read more
