    Contributed by Mark Schaeufele on Apr 8, 2010
     | 4,371 views

    Baptism is important because it is a sign on the outside of what has already happened on the inside.

    Why Is Baptism So Important? Texts: Act 2:37-38; Rom. 6:3-4; Gal. 3:27 Introduction 1. Have you ever wondered why baptism is so important? 2. Baptism by itself won't save you.

    We are not truly a "church" if we spend our time fighting. God blesses churches that are unified under His leadership.

    "The Battling Baptists" ... that's the reputation Baptists have, according to Walter Shurden. Baptists are born fighters because they were born fighting. Early Baptists were known as law-breakers. Shurden writes, "They broke the laws in England and they broke the laws in America. And they broke ...read more

    The third in my series on the Winter Games, looks at the things in our Christian Walk that we need to as a team.

    Of all the events of the winter Olympics and there are 15 main events in all, plus their sub events, there is one event that seems to spark our country’s collective psyche like none other and that is the Men’s Hockey. From the choice of the 1980 American Hockey Team for lighting the flame this year ...read more

    Drawn By Beauty

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Sep 27, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,860 views

    Where does beauty come from and why are we attracted to it? Why do we as human beings desire to make beautiful creations? The existence of objective beauty points to a God of beauty who loves His creation and desires to give us joy and pleasure.

    Today I will be speaking about how objective beauty points us to the Creator God. We’ll be looking at Psalm 27:4 and Psalm 96:6. One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD and to ...read more

    Things we cry about are significant to us. What do you cry about? Are they the things Jesus cries over?

    “When Crying Makes All The Difference” As you look back over your life, what were the things that made you cry? Death. Births. Extremely joyful events: marriage. Physical pain. What do you cry about? What do you cry for? Cry over? It was June 1, 1991 when an officer came into my home and told ...read more

    Why Do The Rescued Praise The Lord? Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Mar 24, 2025
     | 244 views

    We must heed the warning of the Lord; it is the same warning Isaiah preaches here! But, why? Because He is returning to judge the Earth - not to scare us, but to prepare us! We must know that He is not a God of fear, but of love because He gives us sufficient warning of what is ahead!

    Isaiah, Part 11 Why do the rescued praise the Lord? Isaiah 26:7-21 (Wed: 27:1-13) Introduction - Welcome to Seasons! We are so glad you are here today. - Last week, we saw God’s people praise Him during His judgments because: • His people are kept under His protection in a city created by ...read more

     | 16,080 views

    It is Sunday. Jesus is dead. And they are going home. Their question is our question, only slightly rephrased. Where is Jesus when we need him? Where did he go? Why did he leave us?

    Where is Jesus When We Need Him? Luke 24:13-35 Earlier this week I took a bike ride along the Natchez Trace. Exiting at Friendship Road, I rode a mile or two and came to Friendship Baptist Church, a neatly-kept brick building at the intersection of two country roads. Behind the church there was ...read more

    Last Sunday night on television, CBS ran a movie that the title intrigued me. The Title was, “Living With The Dead!”

    Seven Blessings in being called to be a part of the Body of Christ.

    How do you feel about your body? Strange question for a sermon, isn’t it? Most of us would rather not think about our bodies and if we do we probably don’t think of them very highly. It’s too fat or too skinny, too short or too tall. Bumpy, lumpy or just plain ugly -- kind of like the guy who was ...read more

     | 3,044 views

    How we live, as a church and as individuals, is determined mostly by when are living. This may sound a little confusing, but I will explain. We look at the Israelites in this passage and we see them complaining - not satisfied with the way things are,

    INTRODUCTION: We, as a church, are at a new phase of our ministry. We NEED to go to the NEXT phase of ministry. We NEED to reach out to the community, love on them, and show them the love of Christ. We need to move in God’s Vision for the church. How we live, as a church and as individuals, is ...read more
