    "He Showed Himself Alive …” 2 Of 2

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022
     | 2,122 views

    As I stated earlier, when a preacher preaches on the resurrection of Christ he is preaching on the most important topic of the Bible.

    That statement was the truth when I said it and it is the truth now! I vehemently want to state again, it is not one of the most important, but THE MOST IMPORTANT topic of the Bible. As we focus in on this most important topic again today, with all the Easter traditions we have in this country ...read more

    Believers Baptism Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 4, 2023
     | 3,464 views

    Baptism is identification with Christ. Baptism allows the believer in Christ to openly identify with Christ who died, was buried and who rose again on his behalf. It is a public testimony to say I have identified with Christ. I will live for Christ.

    Believers Baptism On October 15, 1517, an Augustinian monk nailed his ninety-five theses on the church door in the town of Wittenberg. When Martin Luther nailed his theses to the door it marked the significant spark of the protestant reformation. Eight years after Luther nailed his 95 theses to ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 11, 2023
     | 1,439 views

    The Church at Ephesus started off right but somehow lost their first love. For this New Year, may we be reminded to remember, repent, and re-do what we did at the first.

    (Note: This message is based on and edited from a sermon preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO, on 1-1-2023; but is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: This morning we celebrate the start of a brand new year. It’s really kind of difficult to zero in on something that hasn’t been ...read more

    Jesus shares illustrations to show that his return will be sudden and unexpected. His call on us is to be ready at any moment. The First Sunday of Advent reminds us that Jesus came, and Jesus is coming again!

    Matthew 24:36-44 Maintaining Readiness The military has a readiness system of green, amber and red, to illustrate threat levels we might face at any given time. When you go on base or on post, you’ll see a Force Protection Condition, or FPCON, ranging from normal to delta. Likewise, the president ...read more

    Believers Are Baptized And Receive The Holy Spirit: A Sermon For The Baptism Of The Lord Sunday.

     | 2,033 views

    There is more than one Baptism Jesus received at the river Jordan. Water and Spirit Baptism are distinct and normative for the believer.

    Believers are Baptized and Receive the Holy Spirit Acts 19:1-7 This Sunday is known as Baptism of the Lord Sunday in which we remember that Jesus was baptized by John in the River Jordan, even though Jesus had no sin to repent of. When this happened, there was an enrichment of what Baptism means. ...read more

    Dead flies in the ointment can be more that an annoyance, they can sting and spread infections. Small things matter in negative ways.

    Seven Sundays To Easter: Behold, Your King Comes To You! Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 4, 2021
     | 3,393 views

    Just a few days before Passover, our Lord rode into Jerusalem riding a donkey. The people with Him knew exactly what was going on but some of the people in Jerusalem asked, "Who is this?"

    Introduction: This event, the “triumphal entry”, is recorded in all four of the Gospels. Each author has similar but not identical information; among other things this proves they didn’t get together to create some “talking points” or too-close-to-be-a-coincidence narrative. Matthew and John were ...read more

    There were two trials the night Jesus was arrested. One was illegal but formal. The other trial was in the court of public opinion. Peter didn't do so well in his trial.

    Facing The Storms In Life

     | 7,595 views

    Every person, new believers, mature believers, and unbelievers experience the storms of life. This sermon ponders how we might face the storms that each of us face.

    FACING THE STORMS IN LIFE Mk 4:35-41 , Mt 14:22-33 As I watched on TV as Hurricane Ian crashed into Florida and South Carolina, it reminded me how powerful and fearful that storms can be. I noticed afterwards that it hit all kinds of buildings and people of all walks of life. Some were prepared ...read more

    Rapid Advance Of The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 6, 2024
     | 882 views

    Thessalonica was a wonderful testimony to a rapid advance approach to ministry. Paul mentions being there three sabbaths (Acts 17:2). There were many who were won to Christ and built up in faith in this short time before the team, Paul, Silas and Timothy moved on.

    My wife and I took part in a nine-month ministry training program called Rapid Advance. The name of the training came from this chapter and from a summary of how the Gospel moved in the book of Acts. Paul did not spend his years of ministry planting a single church and trying to perfect it. He ...read more
