    Living for the kingdom. Waiting, listening, watching for Jesus' return.

    THE MASTER WHO SERVES. Luke 12:32-40. Jesus has reassured His disciples that they are of more value to God than many sparrows, and that the very hairs of their head are numbered (Luke 12:6-7). He has also taught us, through the parable of the rich fool, to value the things of God more than the ...read more

    Jesus Came To Save The Lost, Not To Lose The Saved

    If God is the One who saved, does it mean that men should be the ones to preserve their salvation? Or, should we believe that Jesus is the ONLY Savior – He Who saves the lost, not to lose the saved?

    Luke 19:1-10 – Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but being a short man he could not, because of the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, ...read more

    A sermon examining the importance of serving God.

    Serve Like Hur! Exodus 17:8-13 I recently read that bees visit over 2 million flowers to make one pound of honey. They have to fly about 55,000 miles in order to make that one pound of honey. That same article stated that it takes about 560 bees to make 1 pound of honey. Imagine if one bee ...read more

    What did Jesus teach? Servant hood. Throughout His life He always put others first before Himself. Everyday He would spend time with His Father alone in prayer to prepare Himself for His day ahead, in teaching, healing, praying, but mostly serving.

    Who among us does not want to be recognized for something? We long for human affirmation. We want to be recognized for a job well done, for boldly helping others, for supporting a cause we believe in. It is our nature, our human nature, but the words of Christ teach us otherwise. Within the ...read more

    True greatness is found in serving others with everyday acts of kindness, recognizing and loving Jesus in the overlooked and ordinary people around us.

    Some of the most breathtaking moments with Jesus arrive in ordinary clothes. A paper cup of water handed to a weary worker. A brown-bag sandwich shared on a bench. A text sent at midnight that says, “I’m here.” He has a way of walking into our Mondays and Market Streets, our waiting rooms and ...read more

    Joy is a stable and ever present attitude in the midst of life. It is more than happiness. It is more than laughter. It is closely related to peace and hope. But it was not a joy that was based on circumstances; it was a joy that was based on the power,

    As Christians, we are called to a life of humility and service, not seeking worldly power or glory, but following the example of Jesus who came not to be served, but to serve.

    Good morning, Church family! Today, we're diving into a passage that might just step on our toes a little, but it's an important one. It's about our desire for security, the danger of pride, and the call to serve. You see, we live in a world where security is equated with success and power. But as ...read more

    Scripture On one of his missionary journeys, Paul left Timothy in Ephesus to deal with problems in that church.

A: “Jesus repeatedly made it clear that He understood that His mission on earth led to a cross.” - In Matthew, see 16:21; Jesus repeats in 17:22-23; Jesus repeats again in 20:17-19.

    Some Greeks came to Jerusalem to observe Passover. These men met Philip and asked him to introduce them to Jesus. The Lord's reply has a lesson for us even today.

This is a different message, based on a sermon preached at First Baptist Church of Chamois, MO on March 19. 2023. This message is not an exact ...read more

    What can you expect when you decide to follow Jesus?

    17As for us, brothers and sisters, when, for a short time, we were made orphans by being separated from you—in person, not in heart—we longed with great eagerness to see you face to face. 18For we wanted to come to you—certainly I, Paul, wanted to again and again—but Satan ...read more

    When Jesus washed the feet of the disciples, he broke cultural conventions but also provided an example for his followers to emulate.

    Surprised by Underwhelming Expectations I rarely introduce myself as Pastor. It’s not that I don’t want people to know the role I play, but I don’t want my title to become a barrier. Sure, it may open some conversations, but it may also hinder others as people might think I’m some holy man - ...read more
