    Abraham faced, and passed, probably the greatest test of faith given to a man (except for Jesus). Today we'll focus on Genesis 22 where God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. We'll see that It takes faith to put God first.

    Explore the true meaning of faith in God, emphasizing that it is about believing in the unseen but real, and that such faith should define our lives, with evidence in our actions and rewards from God.

    Good morning, brothers and sisters in Christ. Today, we're diving deep into what it really means to have faith in God. And we're not talking about a wishy-washy, only-on-Sundays kind of faith.

  • What Is The Source Of Temptation?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 26, 2023
     | 1,531 views

    The sermon title asks, What is the Source of Temptation? Just who is it who lures us into sin? We immediately want to say Satan and blame him. We say, “the devil made me do it,” but the answer is a bit closer to home. Thankfully, the solution is as close as prayer.

    For the next few weeks I would like to talk about temptation. What is it that tempts you? Is it food? We all have a favorite food. We get a whiff of it, and our mouth starts watering. It's so tempting. The urge to take a bite of cake may not necessarily be a bad thing, but we're often ...read more

     | 1,889 views

    If we lived a life of constant health, wealth, and happiness we would become a weak and ineffective Christians: assuming we were somehow capable of maintaining our relationship with Jesus.

    Aspects of Endurance Of course, the need for enduring does not mean we adopt a persecuted-prophet perspective or conduct ourselves so zealously that we induce hardships. It does one no good to manufacture hardships so that they can practice endurance. The endurance Christ repeatedly urges ...read more

    God knows what His test will accomplish or reveal about Abraham’s character and, more importantly, what this test will reveal about Himself.

    We are continuing with our Genesis “From Dust to Life” series. Throughout this book so far, we have seen God bring life to people who were in impossible situations, some brought on by their own bad decisions or because of the bad decisions of others.

    In this passage, Ezekiel described the Babylonian exile as being the crucible in which Israel was melted down, and the godly (the silver) were separated from the unrighteous (the dross). The purpose of the refiner's fire is spiritual purification.

    I wish to begin our message with an illustration: There was a dedicated Christian woman who once visited a tourist attraction, which happened to be a working replica of a pioneer village; and one of the manned displays she observed was a silversmith shop. The woman watched the silversmith as he ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 28, 2022
     | 2,255 views

    James, the half-brother of the Lord Jesus, knew about trials and tests. His words to believers of his day are just as true for us of these days, too. In a sentence, he'd say "Endure the test and receive a reward".

    Full disclosure: this is edited from a message preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO in August 2022 Introduction: Many of us think following Jesus is going to be a walk in the park, so to speak, but that isn’t always true. Certainly, as He promised, He’s there with us, but trials and tests ...read more

    Life is filled with choices and opportunities. How do we know which choices to make and what opportunities are from God or not?

    Last week we studied the passage in Genesis 13:3-18 where we saw that Abram and Lot were prospering, so much so that they needed to expand their territory and go their separate ways. Throughout this transition, Abram stayed close to God and learned to settle things God’s way. Lot on other hand ...read more
