In the aftermath of the flood, God gave a token of his covenant, to never again destroy the world by water – with the rainbow. However, it is called an everlasting covenant and we see the rainbow in heaven. This makes us think there is a greater lesson that just the world will not be […] The post The Covenant of the Rainbow appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Baptist Church .

The Lord does not desire for us to live on the bare minimum of spiritual bread and water, but he desires for us to partake of the spiritual feast of fat things and wine on the lees. The Lord intends for us to enjoy the fullness of the abundant life, that our joy may be […] The post Feast of Fat Things appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Baptist Church .

Jesus Christ is the only satisfaction in this world for the spiritual thirst and spiritual hunger that all of God’s children have after the new birth. We have a tendency to want to hew out broken cisterns that cannot hold water instead of partaking of the fountain of living waters to refresh their spiritual thirst […] The post Living Water & Bread of Life appeared first on Clear Sp...

In the flood of Noah, we see that the ark was not a well meant offer and invitation for all of mankind to come into the boat to be saved. Rather the ark was built to the exact dimensions of only eight people, the people that were before chosen by God to be in the […] The post The Lord Shut Him In appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Baptist Church .

Elder Neil Honea uses the example of Thomas who after originally doubting makes a strong profession of Jesus as My Lord and My God. We should follow his example and confess Jesus as not just our Creator God, but also as Jehovah God, a covenant keeping God who loves his children.

Elder Darren Owens points us to Jesus as the truth. Jesus Christ is the only source of truth, and the gospel must align with the one source of truth. We are saved by grace alone, not by any action of man and anything that attributes any action or glory to man is another gospel that […] The post The Truth of Grace – Darren Owens appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Baptist Church .

We consider three of our spiritual senses we are given in the new birth, and how we can feel after the Lord, tasting that the Lord is good, and a sweet smelling savor in honor of Jesus Christ.

Although Noah lives in a horribly untoward, crooked, and perverse generation, he still found grace in the eyes of the Lord and he saved his house by faith and by obedience to God’s commands. In like manner, we can save ourselves and our house by submitting to baptism and serving the Lord in his church.

The only way we have eyes to see the kingdom of God is if we are born again. We have to see the kingdom first before we can enter in. The two on the road to Emmaus literally were in the presence of the resurrected Jesus Christ, but yet their eyes were holden and still […] The post Spiritual Senses – Eyes to See appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Baptist Church .

Prior to the flood in Noah’s day, the heart and thoughts of man was only evil continually. That was the destination, but what began that downward spiral? It was the corruption of marriage, the fall of the family, and just a few generations later the Lord deemed all humanity – except one family – worthy […] The post The Fall of the Family appeared first on Clear Springs Prim...

When we are given spiritual life, the Spirit gives us spiritual senses, and particularly ears to hear the words of the Spirit. Interestingly, most of the admonitions for ears to hear are to people who already have ears to hear in the new birth, but are not in tune to listen to what the Spirit […] The post Spiritual Senses – Ears to Hear appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Baptist...

Open doors are very exciting, but we consider how we go from new open doors to a strong, stable, reliable church and fruitful part of the Lord’s vineyard. There are many perils from growing from a babe in Christ to a mature disciple of Christ. We consider the contrast between the Phillipian church and the […] The post Open Doors to an Established Fruitful Vineyard appeared first on Cle...

We study the scriptural law of sowing and reaping. We need to consider what are we sowing – are we sowing to the flesh or sowing to the Spirit in the kingdom of God? What field are we sowing in? What is the quantity of our sowing, and what is the frequency of our sowing? […] The post Sowing & Reaping in the Kingdom of Heaven appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Baptist Church...

We see the contrast between the ungodly posterity of Cain and the godly line of Seth. The pinnacle of Seth’s genealogy is highlighted by Enoch who walked with God, pleased God, diligently sought God, and the Lord decided to just take him home to heaven as he was translated. We ought to follow Enoch’s example […] The post Walking With God appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive...

We study the failure of faith that escalated from fear of the Israelites going into the land of Canaan. God has not given us the spirit of fear, but he has given us the spirit of power, love, and a sound mind. We see the contrasting voice of faith from Caleb and Joshua and the […] The post Fear vs Faith appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Baptist Church .

The Apostle Paul’s personal prayer requests for the church for him was for the increase of God’s kingdom – to pray for doors of utterance for the growth of the gospel. As Jesus affirmed in the model prayer, at the forefront of our prayers should be for the kingdom of God to come, and that […] The post Praying for Doors of Utterance appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive...

In the story of Cain and Abel, we see the first occurrence of the animosity, hatred, even pinnacling in murder of the wicked against the righteous. Abel’s great offense of Cain that led to his murder was simply righteous works that made Cain hate him. The wicked apart from the grace of God coming in […] The post The Wicked vs The Righteous appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Bapt...

We see the early church fervently followed the commission of Jesus to be the house, the dwelling place of prayer. We see personal prayers all throughout the book of Acts, but we also see consistent prayer meetings as the church body. During times of waiting, uncertainty, fear, and persecution, the church turned to the Lord […] The post The House of Prayer appeared first on Clear Springs Prim...

In the midst of the darkness of the fall, God gives us the first glimpse of the light of the glorious gospel – that the seed of a the woman would crush the head of the serpent. We are thankful that the testimony of the whole Bible is that the Lamb would crush the head […] The post The Seed of the Woman appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Baptist Church .

We consider the steadfast commitment of the church and the kingdom in prayer. We all need greater intensity, fervor, zeal, and passion in prayer. We consider the example of Epaphras – very likely the pastor at Colossae who is commended for laboring fervently in prayer for the church. We need to labor fervently for others […] The post Laboring Fervently in Prayer appeared first on Clear...

We consider together the steadfast commitment of the early, original church and the kingdom in the breaking of bread – not just in the observance of communion, but in the consistent fellowship of inviting other brothers and sisters into their home to partake of supper and food. We need to pursue these “feasts of charity” […] The post Breaking of Bread appeared first on Clea...

After the beauty of creation, we immediately see the attacks of that old serpent, the devil, in tempting Eve to sin. Satan sets his consistent pattern of deception in the garden of Eden to try to cast doubt for God’s people to doubt the authenticity and trustworthiness of God’s word. We need to reject these […] The post The Serpent’s Attacks Against God’s Word appeare...
