    James 2 - Let's Do It! Series

    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Sep 16, 2018
     | 7,885 views

    The church needs to put faith in action by ruthlessly rooting out the disease of pride and prejudice, favoritism in its body. Why? Because it is infecting others and causing death not life. This chapter is clear separate faith and works and you get a dead corpse.

    Series: James – Let’s do it! Thesis of Book: The message of the book is “Let’s do it – live the faith – put it into action! The half-brother of Jesus is speaking to the scattered Jewish Christians across the nations – they were scattered right after Stephen was killed. James tells these Christians ...read more

    The Ultimate Experience: How Not To Miss It! Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Oct 22, 2018
     | 6,509 views

    Some people miss the ultimate experience, in fact, any experience of God whatsoever--even those who claim to be born-again Christians. Why? It comes down to one little word that is pivotal, according to Jesus, in our experience of God.

    Have you ever experienced God? Sometimes it's an unsettling question, isn't it? As born again Christians, we often bristle when people accuse us of being religious. At least I do. When they say something like that, I'm quick to explain to them that I don't think of myself so much as having a ...read more

    This morning we are going to examine how we should “Show and Tell” our faith. It is not about how much we know, but in how much we show.

    Show & Tell Scripture Reference: James 2:14-20 Preached at Mount Zion Baptist Church on July 1, 2018 Delivered by Rev.

    We’re not saved by works, but saved people do God’s work.

    Proving Your Faith James 2:14-26 Rev. Brian Bill February 23-24, 2019 I’ve always enjoyed reading church signs. Here are some of my favorites… • Whoever is praying for snow…please stop. I confess. That’s on me. • God’s love is deeper than this snow. I’m so grateful for Gary Pinger’s ...read more

    Talk Is Cheap

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 6, 2019
     | 7,163 views

    Actions or works may not create faith but they can reveal the substance and form of a person’s faith. To me, works is our faith made visible. “For just as a body without the spirit is dead” … a corpse … “so faith without works is also dead” … a corpse (James 2:26).

    [Put up picture of me on screen.] Let me tell you a little bit about that man in the photo. He was 40 years old when that picture was taken. He was 20 months sober at the time. Well … “sober” is not the right word. He was a dry drunk” … which means that he hadn’t picked up a drink in 20 ...read more

    Looking at how we grasp divine moments from God.

    Your Moment Matthew 25:31-46 July 5, 2020 Last week we were talking about grabbing hold of those moments in life which are transformative. That’s a tall order! I know that! That’s kind of what makes messages like this filled with so much fun and anxiety. It’s being alert to when God is ...read more

    If I have been forgiven for all my sins, why not keep on sinning?

    The end of phase three in Illinois also has us thinking about our freedom to assemble and the right to say and do as we please. In many ways, we have been freed for more. But what does this really mean for us as a Christian? Help me with this phrase:: Freedom isn’t…. Free -----someone paid a price ...read more

     | 5,938 views

    This exposition of Philippians 2:12-18 focuses on what New Testament obedience looks like. The dangers of legalism and antinomianism are addressed. Preparations for an uncertain future are discussed as well.

    Intro Our lives have changed significantly since the beginning of 2020. The big question is what changes lie ahead. Will things settle down and stabilize? Or will events become even more volatile? Will the coronavirus subside, or will infections escalate? Will the political divide in this country ...read more

    Belief, Believing And Faith - Interchangeable Terms?

     | 3,181 views

    The word “believe” is broad and is open to all kinds and variations of meaning depending on what the person has in mind. What does the Bible say about belief, believing and faith?

    Belief, Believing and Faith - Interchangeable Terms? Today we will be reading from Hebrews 11:1-6 We live in the era of cheap grace and easy salvation. “Just repeat after me.” “Did you mean that with all of your heart?” “You’re saved!

    A continuing look at God's call to follow Him. Looking at how we portray ourselves.

    Fake vs. Real James 2:14-26 July 26, 2020 When you think about our world today, have you ever noticed how many imitation products there are? I guess you could call them fake - Think about it - I could walk around in style with a fake rolex watch that looks just like the real thing. I can ...read more

    Sola Fide Series

    Contributed by Jefferson Williams on Jul 29, 2020
     | 4,108 views

    This morning, we come to faith alone. This was the material principle of the Reformation. The question at hand was, “How is one made right with God?” The theological term for this is “justification.”

    Sola Fide - Faith Alone James 2:14-26 Pastor Jefferson M. Williams Chenoa Baptist Church 10-20-19 Screen Door on a Submarine I love that song! Just as it is silly to think about a screen door on a submarine, it is equally absurd to talk about a living faith without loving deeds. This ...read more

    Getting "woke" is big in our culture. Peter got woke to Jesus. Knowing Jesus gave him an entirely new mental map for life.

    These last four weeks we’ve been on a journey together. It’s been a personal journey. We’ve been following a roadmap. A roadmap of discovering Jesus, and allowing him to purge and remove sinful habits, attitudes, thinking and living from our lives. Not because he’s mean that because he knows what’s ...read more
