    My Brother's Keeper Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jul 5, 2020
     | 5,746 views

    This series looks at everyday phrases that had their beginning in the Bible. This message looks at the question: Am I my Brother's Keeper. And how that applies to the family of God.

    It started out as a case of sibling rivalry and ended up as a case of murder. It’s a familiar story from the Old Testament, but not one that we think about very often. It involved the sons of Adam and Eve. And I know that we can get caught up in a lot of questions around this story. We are ...read more

    Your Will Be Done Series

    Contributed by Jefferson Williams on Jul 30, 2020
     | 2,975 views

    This morning, we have arrived at the very center of the Sermon on the Mount and the very center of the section known as the Lord’s Prayer – “Your Will be Done on Earth as it is in Heaven.”

    Your Will Be Done Matthew 6:10b Pastor Jefferson M. Williams FBC Chenoa 3-10-19 How do you know? In early August of 1992, I was in love with a little redheaded girl. That much I knew. But I wanted to know more. I drove three hours back into the mountains of North Carolina to meet with two very ...read more

    Daily Bread Series

    Contributed by Jefferson Williams on Jul 30, 2020
     | 5,649 views

    All over the world, humans eat bread. In nearly every culture on earth, bread is a basic part of life. This morning, we have come to the part of the Lord’s Prayer that focuses on bread.

    Daily Bread Matthew 6:11 Pastor Jefferson Williams First Baptist Church of Chenoa 3-17-19 Roti In America, we like bread. We use it in sandwiches and dinner rolls. We flock to Panera Bread Company and gobble up breadsticks at Pizza Ranch. And there is nothing as wonderful as the smell of ...read more

    Doing Justice

     | 7,383 views

    This is the second in a two-part series on the topic, "Do Justice".

    I was probably 9 or 10 when the doorbell rang one day, and answering the door, I recognized the man holding a clipboard as a neighbor, father of a friend of mine. He asked if my dad was home, and in a few moments, Dad came to the door. After exchanging pleasantries, the gentleman informed Dad of ...read more

     | 4,296 views

    The only way to win the war with sin is to allow Jesus to be the Lord of our lives.

    THE GREAT PARADOX AND THE ULTIMATE VICTORY Text: Rom. 7:14-25 INTRODUCTION 1. Illustration: I love the story of Charles Spurgeon when he was a speaker at a conference along with another man, who publicly proclaimed that Christians could reach a place of sinless perfection where they no longer ...read more

    God’s Promises For Every Need: Lukewarm Faith Series

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Oct 28, 2020
     | 3,689 views

    This morning we are going to cover several different areas of thought and I am going to share a Bible verse which highlights this area of the Christian faith. Please listen honestly and openly to God’s Word and see if this is an area where you are useful and passionate, or useless and lukewarm.

    God’s Promises for Every Need: Lukewarm Faith Revelation 3:14-22 #EveryNeed INTRODUCTION I will need 3 volunteers today from the congregation to come up here, sit at this table for a moment, try some food, and answer a few questions. None of it is gross like last time when we had flavored ...read more

    Set Your Minds On Things Above

    Contributed by David Owens on Nov 2, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 13,459 views

    As followers of Jesus and members of the Kingdom of God, we must keep our focus on our heavenly citizenship and seek to obey our commanding officer (Jesus) and not get entangled in civilian life.

    A. One day, two men, who didn’t know each other, were sitting on a park bench and neither one said anything for quite some time. 1. Then one of the men let out a BIG SIGH. 2. The other man immediately got up and said, “Well, if you’re going to talk politics, I’m out’a here!” and off he ...read more

    Backstabbers

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Aug 12, 2025
     | 365 views

    Jesus didn’t treat Judas any differently than He did the other Twelve. Shakespeare cannot have Jesus say, “Et tu, Judas,” because Jesus knew what was coming. And even though Jesus knew what was coming, He didn’t treat Judas any differently than He did any other disciple over those three years.

    Find John 13 with me, if you will. Many of you recognize the phrase “Et Tu, Brute?” immediately. It’s Latin for “You too, Brutus?” It’s a quote from Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar, where the Roman dictator speaks to his friend Marcus Junius Brutus. Caesar recognizes Brutus as one of his ...read more

    Beware Of Hypocrisy Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 25, 2025
     | 189 views

    In His encounter with Pharisees and Scribes, Jesus discusses the characteristics of hypocrisy. To His disciples He notes the promises of hypocrisy with a stern warning. And yet, in the gospel, we find great hope for hypocrites.

    It seems like nearly every month (maybe even more frequently if we look hard enough), we receive news about some Christian leader who fails morally, gets caught, and is removed from ministry. Whether it’s pastors, professors, performers, or politicians - failure happens. We see hypocrisy ...read more

    The Way Of Wisdom Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Aug 28, 2025
     | 369 views

    In Proverbs 8:17-21, in order to find The Way of Wisdom, in three ways we must 1) Pursue Purposefully (Proverbs 8:17-18), 2) Prioritize Priceless Treasures (Proverbs 8:19) and 3) Pledge to Walk Righteously (Proverbs 8:20-21).

    Proverbs 8:17-21. 17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me. 18 Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and righteousness. 19 My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold, and my yield than choice silver. 20 I walk in the way of righteousness, in the paths of ...read more

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Sep 3, 2025
     | 306 views

    We are in the world and need to push, pull, and travel through this life with those who follow Christ. Our closest companions and partners and influences should belong Him; not of this world.

    No Satisfaction

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 10, 2025
     | 190 views

    Solomon’s relentless search for meaning—in wisdom, work, and wealth—ended in emptiness, proving that life “under the sun” cannot satisfy the human heart. Lasting joy and fulfillment come only from God through Jesus Christ, who alone turns life’s vanity into eternal victory.

    Introduction When “More” Is Never Enough It was the six-year-old boy’s first day of school. His one life ambition? Have as much fun as humanly possible. He marched through the gate with the bold confidence that only a child possesses, ready to squeeze joy out of every moment. But at noon there ...read more

    Grip the gospel daily—remember, receive, redirect, rely—and the Spirit will help you guard God’s good deposit.

    One of the typical characteristics of our children—maybe yours too—was that they enjoyed playing their music loud. Not just loud… LOUD. The kind of loud that rattles the drywall and makes the dog rethink his loyalty to the family. One day, while I was getting dressed, I heard music thumping ...read more

    Maintaining Balance

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Nov 28, 2020
     | 6,937 views

    In this message I use Satan's temptation of Jesus to demonstrate three key areas we need to be in balance in: physical needs, relationship with God and others, and power and riches.

    Maintaining Balance Scripture: Matthew 4:1-11; Philippians 4:11-13 The title of my message this morning is “Maintaining Balance.” Recently I completed a series titled the “Four Seasons of Life.” In that series I explained that we go through seasons as we shift closer to or away from Christ.
