    The Lord's Supper is one of the most important things we believers can do to honor the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord. Paul wrote of this in 1 Corinthians 11.

    (Based on a message preached 1-29-2023 at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO. This is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: We celebrate the Lord’s Supper when there’s a fifth Sunday.

    Getting Rid Of The Problem Of Evangelism

     | 4,334 views

    Forget about EVANGELISM -- we aren’t doing it anyway. Just think about inviting people to something joyful.

    I have been in the ministry for 26 years now, and I have preached a lot of sermons on Evangelism. What a waste of time. We don’t like to think about evangelism. We don’t like to do evangelism. We always want someone else to handle the evangelism programs in our churches. I’m not sure why ...read more

    This Christmas season as we seek to meet our Christmas Expectations, how can we help others meet those expectations, by our being the gift.

    Be the Gift! Matthew 2:1-12 December 9, 2018 In past years we’ve talked about the art of regifting. And it is an art. How do you tactfully give a gift which you’ve been given and remember who gave it to you, so that you don’t regift to the giver? That can be pretty exhausting in and of itself. ...read more

     | 15,751 views

    This is the second in an Advent Series. This message deals with those who neglected to notice Mary & Joseph in the inn. Thoughts for the direction of this sermon were greatly influenced by a John MacArthur message "The People Who Missed Christmas".

    Making Room…Luke 2:1-7 Intro: (Read Text) He gets a pretty bum rap for someone we actually don’t even know exists. The Bible doesn’t mention him (or if he existed). Tradition talks a great deal about the fellow – but it’s still all tradition and folk-lore to be historically honest: that “poor ...read more
