    No Priests In The Church?

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Feb 19, 2015
     | 3,933 views

    Did Jesus intend the office of Priest to be included in the New Testament Church? If not, why not?

    Matthew 21:23-27 “Jesus entered the temple courts, and, while He was teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him. ‘By what authority are you doing these things?’ they asked. ‘And who gave You this authority?’ “Jesus replied, ‘I ...read more

    The First Shall Be Last, And The Last Shall Be First

     | 17,742 views

    Jesus says that it isn’t the religious folk who are first in the kingdom of heaven. It is those who are most open to turning their lives around who are first in line, those who take action when Jesus says, “follow me”.

    It’s painful to have someone you trust tell you that they are going to do something for you---and they don’t. Many of us can tell stories about people who have let us down by making promises and then not following up on them. For example, there is a story of a young widow whose husband ...read more

    What Are We Going To Do

    We need to be more like the disciple Andrew, who, while he didn't write any of the books in the Bible, led people to Jesus - people like Simon Peter and the boy in the parable of the loaves and fish. Following Jesus is the source of our power to change.

    An honest man was being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the traffic light turned yellow just in front of him. The man did the right thing stopping at the crosswalk even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection. The ...read more

    Doing Lesser Things

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 19, 2022
     | 1,420 views

    When we are at work, we know what is important and what not. Sometimes we make a list and set it up in priority. We typically don't do the least important things first. God has a list for us. We need to make sure we are doing the important things.

    If we could say that a certain group or part of the membership of Fundamental Baptist Church is carrying on the work that Jesus called us to do, it would have to be this group. The Wednesday night crowd many times come to church when they have worked all day long. You are tired. You are worn out. ...read more

    As fear and worry try to shake the world systems we can by faith and trust and have great peace. Watch God's plan develop. Jesus is coming, are you ready? The days of Noah?

    DEAD BATTERIES, A WAKE UP CALL? WARNING! I WISH WE ALL WERE READY? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com I went out to start the car, the battery was dead. Not to worry, I have a portable battery jump box. I grabbed the box and hooked up the cables, the car still would not ...read more

    The first son who "refused" to work, eventually did. The second son who "agreed" to work, later decided not to. Those expected to do great things for God can sometimes fail; whereas, those least expected can be used in a mighty way.

    Have you ever felt God asking you to do some type of ministry that you believed was beyond your capabilities, and then you became reluctant? Did you say to yourself, “I’m never going to do that?” This is the way many people respond to the Lord’s call on their life. I’ve heard it said you should ...read more

    I would like to share with you about the two sons whom Jesus mentioned in his parable after the cleansing of the Temple at Jerusalem. Words or deeds? It is the straight forward question raised by God to everyone who reads this parable.

    Theme: Word or Deed? Text: Matthew 21:28-33 Introduction: On this Holy Monday, I would like to share with you about the two sons whom Jesus mentioned in his parable after the cleansing of the Temple at Jerusalem.

    The Life And Death Struggles Series

     | 1,916 views

    Today we are in a struggle like that between Moses and Balak, or between Jesus and the religious authorities, a battle to the death between God’s people and a pagan secular culture.

    Homily for Monday in 3rd Week of Advent Balaam was a prophet for hire. He was a wealthy and respected prophet of Yahweh, but he was not an Israelite. Balak, a king who was in the way of Israel as they moved toward the Promised Land, was nervous about all these people moving across his territory. ...read more

    Notice that Jesus doesn’t ask “who was the good boy?” Because the answer to that is “neither one.”

    Monday of 3rd Week in Advent There are just two more days in the first part of Advent, the time in which we prepare for the return of Our Lord in glory.

    But did we allow that consuming power of God's love reshape our lives? Did we make a decision to give our whole lives to Jesus Christ the savior of all? That is the question I want you to ask yourself today.

    I have good news for you today: the Bible says God cannot lie (Titus 1:2). In a world full of spin and where people doctor the truth, the God of the Bible is total 100% truth. God is so much truth, the Bible even substitutes “amen” for God’s name.

    Statistically, in St. Matthew’s Gospel, words and expressions which emphasize obedience, the doing of God’s will, are among his favorite.

    Nikos Kazantzakis was a tortured Greek writer who was constantly haunted by God. He once wrote of an experience he had when he climbed Mount Athos to visit a monk at a monastery. “Father Makarios,” he said to the old monk, “I remember that in your younger days you wrestled with the devil.

    Jesus tells us four things about how we're supposed to serve in the Kingdom of God. He tells WHO is to serve, HOW we're to serve, WHEN we're supposed to serve, and WHERE we're supposed to serve. Which Son are you?

    Forget the old song that asks “how can it be wrong when it feels so right?” That’s unmitigated baloney. Your mind must rule your emotions, not vice-versa.

    Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Course 2023 Have you or anyone you know ever said that some fine or traffic ticket or concert ticket price or something else “isn’t fair”? I suspect that a show of hands would involve almost everyone who is here today. That cry, “it’s not fair!” is one of the most common ...read more
