    This is the final of a two part series on the New Testment meaning and need for repentance. It is particularly a pastoral call for repentance on the part of the local Church when led to do so by the Holy Spirit.

     | 5,845 views

    The parable not only applies to those who have never met Christ, it also applies to those Christians who have lost their way in the busyness of their lives - vicars and pastors included!!

    Luke 15:1-10 Parable of the Lost Sheep Story: A young man who had been raised as an atheist –was training to be an Olympic diver. The only religious influence in his life came from his outspoken Christian friend. The young diver never really paid much attention to what his friend said about ...read more

    This is Part Two of a six-part series where Pastor Surratt answers "God questions" collected from the congregation. This second message answers questions about salvation, Heaven and others.

    Listen, we started a new series last weekend. I’ve got a question. All of us have questions. You, obviously, have lots of questions. You are inundating me with them. I love it. It’s awesome. This was gonna be a two-week series. This series may last until Jesus comes. I don’t know when that ...read more

    Blessed Be God

    How do you respond to God? Do you "bless" Him? What does that mean? Join Pastor Steve as he explains the meaning of 1 Peter 1:3.

    Peter tells his readers to “Bless” God. That phrase is very similar to what we saw in our study of Psalm 103:1-4, where David said: “Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your ...read more

    Paul was not giving 21st Century Pastors a liturgy for administering Communion. He was admonishing people who eat together in the name of Jesus to eat with the right Spirit - a spirit of unity.

    Waiting Scripture: 1 Cor. 11:17-34 We were hungry. We had put in a long day at school. We had played hard outside after school. We were called inside by Mom or the porch light going on indicating it was time to come in. We had cleaned up for supper, which in itself was a daunting task, and ...read more

    In part 2 of a message on Mark 1:16-18 Pastor Jonathan talks about the mission statement of Thomas Road Baptist Church, specifically the fourth value: connection with community.

    Lord, today we thank you that you are all we need. We thank you that in the midst of our brokenness and heartache, in the midst of the challenges we all face, we stand here humbled by your grace and your love and your mercy. We don’t deserve it, God, but you give it, and you give it freely ...read more

    I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing. It has been a blessing as well as a great help as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

    “Four Myths about the Church” Math16: 18 The church is THE vehicle that God uses to push back the darkness and change our world. I think we need a reminder, today, that there was a group of men and women who have gone before us, here at EBC, who boldly proclaimed the gospel of Jesus ...read more

    I Could Not Have Done It Without You!

     | 13,815 views

    This is a lay pastor's appreciation message. It's about helping without always getting recognition for it. It looks at Hur in the Bible. Sometimes God wants us in the backgroung out of the spotlight.

    I Could Not Have Done It Without You. 1 Chronicles 11:10-14 Romans 16:2-13 How do you feel when someone does something and they look at you and say, “I Couldn’t Have Done It Without You.” Today as we honor our lay pastors and look back at how God has used us in the past, we say, we could not have ...read more

    The Case For Daily Repentance: Examining Yourself Daily In Your Walk With Christ

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 26, 2022
     | 1,575 views

    One of the best things you can do is sit down with another Christian or your pastor and confess the sin. It loses a lot of power when you share it with someone else.

    Today I’d like to make the case to you for the concept of daily repentance. As Christians we know we must be born again of the Spirit to share in the inheritance of Christ. We must be truly born again. We must be a new person. And as a new person in Jesus Christ we have the holy spirit within us. ...read more

    Let's talk about politics. There are three reasons most pastors and churches don't talk about politics - Money, Job Security, Community influence.

    There are several iconic contemporary proverbs that swirl around us. One of the most familiar may be, “don't talk about religion, politics or sex at the dinner table” or slightly modified for pastors, “don't talk about religion, politics or sex on Sunday morning if you want to keep your ...read more
