Why Sunday?

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Apr 24, 2024

When you look at the letter of the Law, you demand one day only. When you look at the principle or purpose of the Law you see the grace that Paul spoke of and why Gentiles were not required to be under naught but the moral law.

Exodus 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. KJV The question is often asked why most Christians meet on Sunday instead of Saturday. Let's look first at the definition of the word in both Hebrew and Greek sincere will be looking at it it from the OT and NT sides. OT:7676 shabbath ...read more

Freedom And The Fruits Of The Spirit (June 30, 2019)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 2, 2021

Paul preached about God’s grace whereas his opponents preached contrary to Paul’s message arguing that the law required circumcision. Why would a prisoner who has been granted freedom want to return to prison?

FREEDOM AND THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT Text: Galatians 5:1, 13-26 Galatians 5:1, 13-16:  For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.  …  (13)  For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as ...read more

Significance Of Faith Series

Contributed by Kamalanathan Francis on May 9, 2022

Every action in life requires some amount of faith. From entering a car to eating in a hotel thinking it is safe. What you believe comes out as faith when you practice. Lets us see the significance of faith in this outline.

Many people as much as they practice faith in other areas of life, do not enrich in the spiritual realm. Faith is only as good as the object in which one places his faith. It is something one learns and grows with it. Are you faithful to God? Almost everyone would say, "yes" which is not ...read more

The Age Of Baptism

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 19, 2022

We don’t need to be divided over the topic of baptism. Biblically, there is room for our preferences without disunity, if we ask simple questions. What does the Bible really require? What does the Bible leave up to us?

One Link In The Chain

Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 27, 2022

We'll all influence over 10,000 people in our lifetimes. Experts say the average lost person requires 16 exposures to Christianity before reaching believing faith. Will you be one of the links in their chain to believe?

The Great Commission

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Feb 21, 2022

From three of the gospel writers we find “four” accounts of the Great Commission. As we examine each account, we gain a better understanding of what Jesus requires, and what we are able to accomplish through the Lord’s power.

This morning we are going to look at four separate passages on what is known among believers as The Great Commission. The Great Commission is all about missions, since the word “commission” contains the word “mission” in it. Now, that word “commission” means, “charge, order, or mandate.”(1) This ...read more

Son Rise Service

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Apr 13, 2020

The resurrection of Christ was not the type of event that you celebrate once, but doesn’t change your life. It demands a change in your life. The Resurrection of Christ validates everything the Gospel claims about Christ, and it verifies everything Christ requires of us.

TITLE: SON RISE SERVICE SCRIPTURE: ST. MARK 16:1-8 Imagine the most important thing that could possibly happen to you in your life happens, but afterward, nothing changes. • You graduate from college, but instead of going out and securing a job, you just go home and continue to live with Mom ...read more

Are You Dancing To Their Tune?

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 30, 2023

Many people want you to dance to their tune, to order your life according to their convictions and demands. Some of them are in the church. But the freedom that we have in Christ releases us from being slaves to the opinions of others, and even requires it.

This morning, I’d like us to consider a passage of Scripture in which Jesus makes an astute observation about the social and religious culture of his day. It’s a fairly brief remark, but one that is full of significance for us today, because it gives us a perspective on how to react to criticism ...read more

Biblical Solutions To Stress Series

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Aug 5, 2023

Can we say, “I am stress-free”? All of us will experience some stress in our lives; this is normal. We require some level of stress to keep us attentive and motivated. What about excessive stress, though?

Testing, Testing, 123

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Sep 21, 2020

Nations and individuals go through tests throughout life, and these tests are often given by the Lord Himself. In this sermon we look at this, and we discuss how we might learn the lessons required in order to "pass the test"

The Prayer God Will Always Answer

Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 10, 2021

Praying with confidence requires us to know God and to know what He has promised. Then, when we present the requests prompted by God's promise, we must defer to Him so that He is honoured in us.

“In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, by descent a Mede, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans—in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, perceived in the books the number of years that, according to the word of the LORD to Jeremiah the prophet, must pass before the end of ...read more

In His Time

Contributed by Joe Mack Cherry on Dec 10, 2023

Bringing someone to Christ requires patience, love, and prayer. How we approach them with the gospel can either encourage them or turn them off completely. We have to give God and His Spirit the chance to work in people.

Our Daily Bread Series

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jun 30, 2024

Approaching the Lord, especially at His communion table, requires reverence and repentance, as taking communion unworthily can lead to judgment. Our true desire should be a maturing relationship with the Lord, continually surrendering to His will and deepening our devotion to Him.

OUR DAILY BREAD John 6:30-35 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 Once a month it is traditional for a Baptist church to have communion.
