    Christmas Carols (3) Series

    Contributed by Scott Bayles on Nov 19, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,041 views

    The tradition of singing carols at Christmas time can be traced all the way back to the very beginning. The Nativity story, as told in the first two chapters of Luke, actually contains 4 short songs. In Luke 2, the angels' song brigns praise to God and peace to the godly.

    Christmas Carols (Angels) Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christians Church: 12/13/15 For the past couple of weeks, we’ve been delving into the Carols of Christmas. Like I said before, even if you wanted to, there is no possible way for you to escape hearing Christmas songs over the next few ...read more

    Stay True To The Lord

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 10, 2019
     | 3,629 views

    The Gospel was spreading and people were trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. Especially in Antioch, they needed encouragement and who better than Barnabas to fulfill that ministry!

    Stay True to the Lord (Based on a message preached at First Baptist Church, Glasgow, MO) The background for today’s message comes from the Book of Acts, chapter 11, verses 19 through 26. Luke wrote these words under the Holy Spirit’s guidance about how things were beginning to change. ...read more

    The Reason For Christmas

    The message is about what I have missed regarding the Christmas story.

    Pastor asked me to deliver a Christmas message tonight. So, I’m going to begin by putting Barry on “Front Street.” For those of you who are not familiar with the phrase, “Front Street” simply means I’m going to share something with you that’s personal and not particularly flattering about Barry. ...read more

    Spiritual growth can only be accomplished by knowing, hearing and applying God’s precepts to our spiritual heart through His Word. In order to understand this passage in Nehemiah we should consider what brought the people of God to this point.

    A beginning of the year series leading us to discover our purpose. Today, we gain an understanding that we are at war.

    Revelation 12:1-5, 7-8, 17 We’re at War! January 12, 2020 We are living in very precarious times! You could even say these are crazy days! What should make sense - - doesn’t make sense.

    Don't Bury It Yet

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Jan 13, 2020
    based on 5 ratings
     | 27,455 views

    There are times when there seems to be a disconnect between our walk with God and the outcome of our prayers. Sometimes circumstances can seem to contradict the fact that God is watching over our lives and guiding its events for our good.

    TITLE: DON’T BURY IT YET SCRIPTURE: II KINGS 4:8-37 A common precursor among new preachers when they want to preach about faith is to ask the congregation - “how many of you have faith?” • The question actually doesn’t make sense because there is no such thing as “people who have faith” and ...read more

    The problem isn’t believing God can do the impossible, it’s believing God will do the impossible for us! Gods ability is not in question! Our ability to believe is!

    You don’t need any more... That's kind of an edgy phrase huh? Many have said those words, many have heard those words, from children to the elderly and said "what do you mean?" I'll be the one who decides when I have enough! I want more! In our appetite for life, what gives ...read more

    Let Jesus Pilot Your Boat

     | 7,305 views

    In our voyage through life, we will encounter both smooth sailing and tempestuous seas brought on by raging storms or trials. We must realize that the Captain, Jesus Christ, is the only One who can pilot our boat safely into harbor.

    The first line of a well-known hymn says, “Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to Thy bosom fly. While the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high: Hide me, O my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past. Safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last.”(1) Charles Wesley ...read more

    Many make the mistake of thinking that all the things in the Old Testament no longer apply to our modern age.

    Even some preachers in their sermon preparation choose to preach out of the New Testament, because they feel that the New Testament is more applicable to today’s congregations. While much of the Old Testament did deal with Israel and the ceremonial laws that were given to them, a great deal of ...read more

    Grace From Galatians (8 Of 19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022
     | 1,473 views

    One of the exciting things in the Christian life is to see someone come to know the Lord as their Savior. To know without a doubt that they have been gloriously saved from the bondage of sin.

    However, one of the saddest things in the Christian life is to see someone who professes to know the Lord but lives their life in such a way as to cast doubt on their salvation. Illus: Evangelist Ding Teuling is often asked how many were converted in some of his meetings. He tells them he really ...read more

     | 2,045 views

    In this portion of Scripture, we have the opportunity to travel with Paul while he is at Ephesus.

    Some of the places that Paul visited would not have impressed us, but we can see from these verses that God used Paul in a great way. This is the place Paul wanted to visit on his second missionary journey, and God forbid him to come, but now, God not only allowed him to come, but God gave Paul an ...read more
