  • Isaac : When He Lied, Just Like His Dad

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 10, 2021
     | 4,050 views

    Isaac was a man of faith, but there was one time when he did the same thing as his father, Abraham, had done years earlier. They both did it for the same reasons, but were they right to do it?

    Introduction: Like father, like son. How many of us have heard that saying? Perhaps we should ask this: how many of us have made the same mistakes as our dads? We may never know how closely Isaac copied his father’s mannerisms or way of managing a household but we do know he followed Abraham’s ...read more

  • Isaac--Fool Me Once, Shame On Me!

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 16, 2021
     | 4,636 views

    Isaac asked his son Esau to prepare a special dinner. Several things happened, though, that changed the family dynamic forever.

    Introduction: At the time of this incident, Isaac was considered an old man, and he was afraid he was going to die soon. He asked Esau, his oldest son, to prepare him some food from game Esau would hunt in the fields. The rest of this story is a classic of deceit, in that a family was torn apart ...read more

  • Seven Sundays To Easter: "sir, We Would See Jesus" Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 25, 2021
     | 5,729 views

    Passover was near and Jews from all over the world were coming to Jerusalem. Some of them came in contact with Philip, one of our Lord's disciples, and asked for his assistance.

    (Note: this message is based on a sermon preached at First Baptist Church of Sigourney, Iowa in March 2019 and is not an exact reproduction.) Introduction: The Lord Jesus Christ was on His way to Jerusalem, where in just a few days He would be crucified and would die for the sins of the world. ...read more

  • Seven Sundays To Easter: "she Did What She Could" Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 5, 2021
     | 4,988 views

    If you ever felt like you did all you could for Jesus, the woman in this story knows exactly what you mean!

    Introduction: This story takes place in Bethany, near Jerusalem, just a few days before Passover. The Lord Jesus Christ spent some time in Bethany before He made His last journey to Jerusalem to die for our sins and rise from the dead for our salvation. During one of His last meals with friends, ...read more

  • Seven Sundays To Easter: He Loved Them To The Uttermost Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 10, 2021
     | 3,540 views

    Jesus and the 12 Disciples celebrated Passover in the "upper room" in Jerusalem. While they were there, the Lord showed these men just how much He really loved them. Other things happened there, too.

    Introduction: The apostle John was an eyewitness to many of the events he recorded in his Gospel. One of the most touching, in my opinion, is this episode that took place just hours before the Lord Jesus Christ was crucified. He knew exactly what the Lord meant, when John said the Lord loved them ...read more

  • Seven Sundays To Easter: In The Garden Of Gethsemane Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 11, 2021
     | 4,022 views

    Jesus and the Eleven Disciples left the upper room and walked over to the Garden of Gethsemane. There Jesus prayed earnestly to the Father. Even though the disciples had come along with Him, our Lord was probably never so alone as He was at this time.

    Introduction: Jesus and the eleven disciples finished their time in the Upper Room. Judas Iscariot had left them so he could betray Jesus to the chief priests and others. He missed out on the truths which our Lord shared with the others in John 14-16, and the Lord’s beautiful beyond words in John ...read more

  • Gideon: An Unlikely Hero Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 2, 2022
     | 4,333 views

    Gideon didn't have much going for him but he had faith in the LORD. That was enough and God used him in a mighty way--after this first encounter, that is.

    (Note: This message is edited from a sermon preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO on October 9. 2022 and is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: Gideon is mentioned here in Judges and he’s also one of those in the “Hebrews Hall of Fame” in Hebrews 11. I have to confess, the first ...read more

  • Gideon: The Two Tests He Had To Pass Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 5, 2022
     | 2,457 views

    Gideon had met the Angel of the LORD face to face, one day, and that night, received a message from the LORD. That message contained instructions for two of the most difficult things Gideon would ever be asked to do.

    (Note: this message is based on and edited from a sermon preached at First Baptist Church of Chamois, MO on 10-16-2022 but is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: Gideon had just realized he saw the Angel of the LORD and was probably trying to take it all in. He was one of only a few people ...read more

  • Gideon: When The Lord Gave Him The Promised Victory Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 9, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,099 views

    Military strategists would have laughed out loud if they had heard God's strategy for defeating the enemies of Israel during Gideon's day. Gideon,though, followed these instructions to the letter and God gave Israel a great victory!

    Introduction: Some of the military’s greatest strategists mentioned never going into action against the enemy unless you have two or three times more of everything than they do. Gideon had blown the trumpet, basically the same thing as declaring war against Israel’s enemies, and many of the local ...read more

  • A Veteran’s Day/Thanksgiving Day Message Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 18, 2022
     | 2,849 views

    There's only a couple of weeks between Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving Day. This message is an attempt to combine features of each holiday.

    (Note: Based on and edited from a message preached November 13, 2022 at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO. This is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: Veteran’s Day was originally called Armistice Day in honor of the Armistice ending the First World War. This Armistice took place on “the ...read more

  • A Thanksgiving Meal—in The Springtime! Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 22, 2022
     | 2,176 views

    Barley harvest--springtime--may not be the time when people think about Thanksgiving Day meals. During Elisha's day, a pair of miracles made a small meal into a real feast!

    (Full disclosure: Sermon Central has accepted two of my different illustrations based on this text. This message is not merely a combination of those illustrations.) Introduction: What do you think of when you’re pondering a Thanksgiving Day meal? For many years, it’s a more or less American ...read more

  • First Sunday In Advent: The Hope Candle Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 1, 2022
     | 5,151 views

    Hope. Something everyone needs. This message describes times when hope seemed gone but reminds us that Jesus provides hope!

    (Modified from a message preached at FBC Chamois, MO on 11-27-2022; not an exact transcription) Introduction: This is the first Sunday in the Advent season, the four or so Sundays before Christmas Day. Now I understand that some churches believe in using these candles and some don’t; and there is ...read more

  • The Fourth Sunday In Advent: Love Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 23, 2022
     | 4,831 views

    We sometimes hear a lot about love during Advent and the Christmas season. May we never forget the incredible love God has for us. John 3 isn't usually a Christmas text but what Jesus said there is good for Christmas, too.

    (Based on and edited from a message preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO on 12-18-22. This is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: There is no greater expression of love, anywhere, when we think about how Jesus left Heaven to come to this earth, to be born like us, live with us, die ...read more

  • The Good, The Bad, & The Snuggly

    Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Nov 1, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,513 views

    Jesus points to our salvation by the Father's grace alone, not by our works--first through a parable, and then in action as He welcomes children (even infants).

    The Word of God that engages us today is our Gospel reading from Luke 18. And in our Gospel reading, Jesus challenges the presuppositions of those around Him. Our Gospel reading is really broken down into two sections—and quite often you’ll get a sermon on one or the other, as if ...read more

  • Rejoice In The Lord, Always In The Lord

    Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Nov 1, 2016
    based on 2 ratings
     | 15,365 views

    Beyond our three decades of ministry, and in spite of the terrors of this world, we have great reason to rejoice in the Lord! (Context of sermon: Preached on our Congregation's Rally Day and 30th Anniversary.)

    [Singing] “This is the day / This is the day / That the Lord has made / That the Lord has made / I will rejoice / I will rejoice / And be glad in it / And be glad in it!” I worked at a camp in Wisconsin one summer, and we sang this song every day. Every. Sin-gle. Morning. It was the ...read more
