     | 3,771 views

    Paul writes that one should be more concerned about love, being saved, trusting the True God, getting close to God, and helping the fallen ones than being concerned about food sacrificed to idols.

    Wealth holds us back from inheriting eternal life: but wealth is anything earthyl that we hold onto as valuable in opposition to things heavenly. We must melt down these idols and consecrate the gold to the temple.

    “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” (Mk. 17:17). There are two alternates to eternal life: eternal death and temporal life. Neither is appealing. Eternal life is worth struggling for. The rich young man asked the Lord what must he do. He understood that attainment of heaven was ...read more

    We're coming up on NFL football season. Autumn approaches. There is no greater idol in Wisconsin than Packer and Badger football season. Green Bay Packer season, of course, being the most important.

    “When we place our dependence in God, we are unencumbered, and we have no worry. In fact, we may even be reckless, insofar as our part in the production is concerned.

     | 231 views

    Israel had just repented of idol-worship at Mizpeh. The Philistines, mortal enemies at the time, came close enough to cause Israel panic. Samuel prayed, the LORD delivered, and Samuel established the memorial stone of Ebenezer.

    Ebenezer: The Stone of Help (Based on a sermon preached Sunday evening, May 18, 2025 at New Hope Baptist Church near Fulton, MO. This is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: Ebenezer.

    What's That Smell

     | 11,312 views

    Cologne and Perfume cover up the smell, but only for a time. Nice clothes and a fake attitude cover up hidden sins, but only for a time. The only way to be truly clean is to be seperated from sin.

    WHAT’S THAT SMELL INTRODUCTION One day while walking through the department store, I decided to stop by the cologne displays and try on some cologne. Now, I just couldn’t just try on one (could I?) I had to try on all the different brands that they had. Need less to say when I got into the ...read more

    Every super hero has a secret strenth and a hidden vulnerability. Jesus, the only real superhero, has a strength to help guide Him in every situation and a vulnerability that each of us should possess.

    Every superhero has a secret to their great strength, and a hidden something that some might call a vulnerability. For the Green Lantern it was the special ring he wore that gave him the ability to form things out of nothing; for Superman, Kryptonite was the only thing that stopped his superhuman ...read more

     | 4,717 views

    This sad account of the people of God finds them at one of the lowest points in their rich history. I would like to suggest to you that there is a message of hope hidden in the text and a challenge to keep on keeping on.

    Subject: Don’t Stop: The Challenge Amid a Pandemic Text: Psalm 137:1-6 “By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that ...read more

     | 1,153 views

    In His "state of humiliation" as theologians say, Jesus' glory was most deeply hidden! Through these verses from Colossians we are invited to see the true glory of King Jesus!

    “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” All four of the Gospel writers (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) tell us about the written notice of the charge against Jesus—and for which Pontius Pilate crucified him. It’s a small but important detail from the Friday that we call good. Does anyone ...read more
