    Immaturity (Sixth Sunday After Epiphany, February 12, 2023)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Feb 10, 2023
     | 1,719 views

    In the very first verse Paul has stepped on toes! There are two words that illustrate well how Paul stepped on their toes. These two words, “carnal” and “babies” lose some of their emphasis as they are transliterated from Greek to English.

    IMMATURITY Text: 1 Corinthians 3: 1 – 9 1 Corinthians 3:1-9 And so, brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but rather as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. (2) I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for solid food. Even now you are ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 24, 2023
     | 4,058 views

    Paul never had the chance to celebrate Clergy/Pastor Appreciation month, but if he could, he would no doubt have several things to appreciate!

    (Based on a sermon preached October 8, 2023 at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO. This is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: October is clergy appreciation month and I’m grateful for the men of God whom our Lord has placed in my life. Words can’t express how much gratitude I feel for ...read more

    Comforting God’s People

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 4, 2023
     | 1,223 views

    Today’s text echoes what we see throughout scripture about how the Lord disciplines His children. God disciplines us because He loves us.

    COMFORTING GOD’S PEOPLE (December 6, 2020) Text: Isaiah 40: 1 - 11 Isaiah 40:1 -11: Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God. 2 Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that she has served her term, that her penalty is paid, that she has received from the Lord’s hand ...read more

    Found In Christ

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 27, 2023
     | 919 views

    Salvation is not achieved; it is received.

    I hope that every person within earshot of my voice today is a believer in our Lord Jesus Christ. Nothing else would please me so much as if that were the case. But I cannot risk thinking it is so if it is not. Too much is at stake. Eternity is at stake. For it only faith in Christ that will secure ...read more

    In 2024 we have decided that a greater knowledge of scripture in a necessity, so here we go with an introduction to our congregation/Corps.

    New Beginnings Psalm 119:105: “Your word is a lamp?for my feet, ????a light?on my path.” We have a wee verse on our office wall that states, “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you start where you are and change the ending.” In life I am sure that there are many times ...read more

    The Certain End Series

     | 4,264 views

    In the end of times, Israel can expect a huge battle and much suffering, but Christ will return to deliver them and rout the enemies, establishing His millennial kingdom of holiness. The glorious end is certain for Israel and the world. We trust Him.

    We started the book of Zechariah in OCT last year and we’re ending it today. The last oracle (chapters 12-14) talks about the future of Israel. • Everything is uncertain to the returnees in Zechariah’s time (520BC) but the future is certain to God; He planned it. Remember how it starts - 12:1 ...read more

    Go Thy Way: When Jesus Healed A Blind Man Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 10, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,959 views

    The blind have never had it easy in this world. This story features Jesus healing a man from blindness, and also telling him, "go thy way". This is the last time the phrase "go thy way" appears in Mark's gospel.

    Background: Jesus, in this passage, is only a few days away from Calvary, where He would die for the sins of the world. He had already explained this to the disciples, a short time before this (Mark 10: 43-44). Now the group is heading through Jericho, where He performed a miracle for a man who was ...read more

    Jesus is a pioneer whose suffering shows us God’s victory and gives us access to God.

    THE KINSMEN REDEEMER Text: Hebrews 2:10 -18 Have you ever heard of the law of the kinsman redeemer? There are three things that have to happen for someone to be redeemed. The first rule is that the redeemer must be a relative to those in debt. The second ...read more

     | 3,261 views

    What God wants is for our lives to be fruitful in unity and the love that He gave and gives to us so that we might allow others to experience God’s life transforming love.

    THAT THEY MAY BE ONE Text : John 17:1 - 11 Someone (William Arnot) once made a wonderful point about God’s design in how we work as His creation: “He gives what he demands, and demands what he gives. The same master both gives the talents and requires an account ...read more

    Dimensions Of God's Love (July 29, 2012).

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,974 views

    Everything we know about God and His workings in our inner persons, we are able to know because of our faith. Even though Paul was a prisoner when he wrote this letter, he remained positive and persevered because he was “rooted and grounded in God’s love”.

    DIMENSIONS OF GOD'S LOVE Text: Ephesians 3:14 -21 Can we really comprehend God’s love? Can we really understand the dimensions of God’s love? How many times have you been to the movies where the movie was in 3 D? Can you imagine what it would look like to us if there were glasses ...read more

    Memorial Day is to remember those who have given their lives in the military service of our country. Memorials are needed! Are we a memorial for Jesus or against Him?

    Memorial Day 2019 Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … 2 Timothy 4:3-4 “The time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to ...read more

    Diamonds In The Rough

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jun 3, 2021
     | 3,463 views

    We will explore how we are "diamonds in the rough". The biggest takeaway from today's message is that when we fully rely on God, He can turn our struggles from hurdles and obstacles into stepping stones.

    DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH 1 Timothy 4:10-12  For to this end we toil and struggle, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.  (11)  These are the things you must insist on and teach.  (12)  Let no one ...read more
