The Battle In The Desert (Part Two)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Mar 7, 2021

Last week we looked at the first two temptations of Jesus in Matt. 4:1-7. Today we finish by getting into vss. 8-11.

THE BATTLE IN THE DESERT (part two) Matthew 4:8-11 Last week we started looking into the temptation of Jesus in Matt. 4. We learned in vs. 1 that Jesus was led into the desert by the Holy Spirit to be tempted. Although that seems odd, we see it was for a purpose. Jesus was about to embark on his ...read more

"By This Shall All Men Know…”

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 27, 2021

Almost everyone loves to watch cowboy movies. Illus: They advertise the Western Channel on television by saying, “There is a little bit of cowboy in all of us!”

One of the things we see in most cowboy movies is the sheriff. And we know that he is the sheriff because he has a badge to identify himself as the sheriff. But the sheriff is not the only one who wears a badge that identifies him. God’s Word says that there are some things that should identify ...read more

A More Perfect View Of You For 2022

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Dec 29, 2021

How do see yourself? Who determines your value? Psalms 139 assures each of us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Look at this extreme makeover, a more perfect you for 2022.

Sermon: A More Perfect View for 2022 Scripture Lesson: Ps 139:1-17 BBE “O Lord, you have knowledge of me, searching out all my secrets. 2 You have knowledge when I am seated and when I get up, you see my thoughts from far away. 3 You keep watch over my steps and my sleep, and have knowledge of all ...read more

The Value Of A Child Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Dec 31, 2021

Pro-life advocates use this Bible passage to show how God values the life of the unborn, while pro-choice advocates use this same Scripture in an attempt to justify abortion. This message looks at both sides of the debate.

Today, January 23, 2022, is recognized as Sanctity of Human Life Sunday in the Southern Baptist calendar; and so, I’m going to be discussing the value of the unborn child and have us look at the abortion debate. The abortion argument centers on human rights – namely the right of a person to make ...read more

Anxious

Contributed by Jarrett Stephens on Jan 5, 2022

We all experience anxiety from time to time, some more so than others.

Intro – John 14 Oftentimes we will come to a service like this and maybe the topic we are dealing with or the subject that we are preaching on, doesn’t necessarily apply to you…well, this one applies to everyone! We all experience anxiety from time to time. Some are more serious than others, but ...read more

Wait Upon The Lord

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 20, 2022

Life is full of highs and lows, from the mountain top to the valley; and God’s people were in a low spot. If Judah would learn to "wait on the Lord," then God would enable them to fly, run and walk across the finish line to victory!

Wait Upon the Lord Isaiah 40:27-31 I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Wait Upon the Lord,” but I could have easily justified calling it “Fly, Run and Walk,” and you’ll see why as we continue along. But since much of the message is focused on flying, I want to open with an illustration that ...read more

A God Of New Beginnings

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 21, 2022

There are many people who wish they had a new beginning; to those experiencing trials and hardship; and those who are suffering from poor choices; to those who are lost and dying in their sin - and God can give new beginnings!

In December of 1934, John and Betty Stam, a young American missionary couple assigned in China, were captured by Communists and eventually martyred for their faith. Captured with them was their baby daughter. One of the other prisoners, as he was being released from Jingde Prison, overheard the ...read more

Contributed by Bruce Lee on May 28, 2025

Muslims, Jews, and Christians all map their traditions back to Abraham. He was the son of Terah, a descendant of Noah’s son Shem. Genesis 11:10. (Strong’s Concordance) The Hebrew word “uhbrahaym” Abraham is a personal name meaning “father of a multitude.”

Whose Side Is God On?

Contributed by Walter Braxton on May 30, 2025

In today’s world, lines are being drawn everywhere. Red vs. blue. Conservative vs. liberal. Rich vs. poor. This group vs. that group. Everybody seems to be picking sides—and everybody wants God to be on their side.

In America...It’s become a political reflex… At the end of speeches...Debates... And press conferences… To close with three familiar words… "God bless America."... Whether Republican…Or Democrat…Conservative… Or liberal…They all say it.... Not because they’re always living by God's ...read more

Small Things Matter PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 28, 2025

God values faithfulness in small, unseen acts; our ordinary, everyday obedience matters deeply and shapes us for greater purposes in His kingdom.

If you’ve ever held a mustard seed between your fingers, you know how small it is—hardly more than a speck. Yet tucked inside that tiny shell is a towering tree in the making. In the same way, God tucks holy possibility into small places: the quiet errand, the thank-you note, the picked-up towel, ...read more

It's Going To Be Big PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 3, 2025

God’s abundant goodness invites us to pray boldly and expectantly, trusting His faithfulness to do more than we can imagine or ask.

If you’ve ever stood on the shore at dawn, watching waves roll in one after another, you know something about the heart of God. His goodness doesn’t trickle; it tumbles. His grace doesn’t drip; it drenches. He is the God who fills empty nets, feeds hungry crowds, and whispers to weary hearts, “I ...read more

God's House Guest PRO Sermon

God welcomes those who live with integrity, truth, and faithfulness, offering stability and belonging to all who let His grace shape their daily lives.

Good morning, dear friends. I’m so glad you’re here. Some of us arrived with sunshine in our step, others with a storm in our chest. Some of us feel strong; others feel threadbare. All of us are seen, known, and welcomed by the God who meets us right where we are and loves us too much to leave us ...read more

Tomorrow I Will Do Wonders PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 15, 2025

Trusting God at life’s obstacles, we consecrate ourselves in prayer and obedience, expecting His presence to lead us and perform wonders beyond our ability.

Some of us walked in today with a river in front of us. A challenge that feels swollen and strong, a problem that pushes against the banks of our courage. Maybe it’s a diagnosis that rattles you, a relationship that drains you, or a decision that confuses you. You’ve stood at the edge, heart ...read more
