    Habakkuk is a man waiting for an answer from God. God gives him 3 instructions; however, before he receives his instructions he must get into the proper position, once in position he receives these 3 instructions: write, wait, and remember.

    Following Jesus, Even Through Trials And Tests Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 28, 2022
     | 2,601 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

    Let Jesus Show You How To Face Temptation Lesson 2 Series

    Contributed by Elmer Towns on Oct 12, 2023
     | 1,275 views

    Your best defense against temptation is quoting the written Word of God. Therefore, learn the Bible, memorized the Bible, and use the Bible.

    “Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil … fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards … hungry. The tempter said ‘if you are the Son of God … stones become bread. Jesus … ‘It is written man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word … mouth of God.’ ...read more

    What Is The Source Of Temptation?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 26, 2023
     | 1,882 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

Throughout this transition, Abram stayed close to God and learned to settle things God’s way. Lot on other hand ...read more
