Psalm 91:1-16 Pastor Cory brings a powerful message today out of one of the later Psalms in the book. The writer offers a picture of God as a refuge and shield against all enemies and evil. We must run to this deliverance, we must pursue His secret place, His rest in our lives. He offers complete freedom from sin and death, as well as Divine protection against His wrath poured out upon the world....

Psalm 23:1-6 Pastor Troy brought his message for the commencement of our Emerald Crossing VBS. The curriculum focused on Psalm 23, so Troy tied everything together with his sermon this morning. The are 12 signs in this Psalm that the Lord is indeed your Shepherd. As we go through the passage, take a genuine look at your life to see if it reflects that you are truly in the flock of God. Pastor Troy...

Isaiah 55:1-13 Pastor Cory delivered us an excellent message this morning out of the prophet Isaiah. Here in the latter half of the book, Isaiah has switched from themes of wrath and judgment to those of mercy and redemption. Ultimately, God promises His people the sure mercies of David, who are fulfilled in Jesus Christ. He invites us to come to Him for all of our fulfillment and renewal. Rather...

Revelation 3:14-22  Pastor Troy is back in our series on the church with a sermon out of Christ's message to the church of Laodicea. Jesus took offense for 4 of the other 6 churches, but Laodicea was the only church whose sin cause Him to want to vomit them out of His mouth. As New Testament believers and church members today, we ought to take an interest in this sin that our Lord was so vehe...

Romans 8:31-39 Pastor Cory delves into one of the most famous passages from Paul in the New Testament. Paul asks a central question to the integrity of the gospel: what can separate us from the love of Christ? He clearly answers this in the passage---NOTHING! Cory takes us into the text and shows us exactly what that means for us in our Christian walk today. We can stand firm on the foundation of...

Revelation 3:7-13 Pastor Troy is back in our series on the churches of Revelation! This morning we dove into Jesus' message to the church of Philadelphia. While Jesus had nothing bad to say about this church really, that doesn't mean that He did not expect anything from them. Pastor Troy reminds us, it is not about how well we start, but about how well we finish. Jesus says that He has g...

Ephesians 6:10-20 Bother Will Dicus brought a powerful message on spiritual warfare and the armor of God. In a day where everyone tries to come up with a materialistic to explain everything, the Bible is clear. We face a real enemy in the spiritual realm, and if we are not prepared to fight we will be easily taken down. God gives us everything we need in order to withstand Satan's attacks and...

Revelation 3:1-6 Pastor Troy brings us another powerful word regarding the church from the book of Revelation! The church at Sardis was much like the city in which it dwelt. They appeared to be doing well on the outside, yet Jesus knew their hearts. See, we can fool others all day long, but Jesus has the perfect and all-knowing Spirit of God, who searches and knows the hearts of man. May we be ind...

Exodus 2:1-10  Pastor Cory brought us a very inspiring message for Mother's Day today! He expounds the story of Moses' mother, when she laid him in the river instead of throwing him in to die. She could not let the law of the land or any pressure of man cause her to bring harm to her baby. She is an excellent picture of how a mother is supposed to fight to protect her children, as well a...

Revelation 2:18-29 Pastor Troy is back this week in our series on the churches of Revelation. He reminds us that these messages are still tied to the vision of the church. The Risen Lord had a message for His church during these difficult time in the church's history, and He has a message for us today. The church of Pergamos had let sin make its way all the way into the pulpit, their comprise...

Luke 15:11-32 This past Sunday we had the pleasure of hearing a sermon from one of our new church members, Will Dicus, who God has called to the ministry. Brother will delivered a powerful message about Jesus' parable of the prodigal son. At some point in our lives, we all have, or will, drift[ed] away from God. Yet the Lord stands there waiting for us with open arms, ready to rejoice at our...

Revelation 2:12-17 Back in our series on the church, Pastor Troy brings a convicting sermon from Jesus' message to the church at Pergamos. This is a church that had held strong to the name of Jesus in the face of persecution, yet they had let their guard down and the enemy had slipped in the back door. Troy reminds us that it is the small compromises that lead to big sin. The church had allow...

2 Corinthians 4:1-18 Pastor Troy returns to the pulpit this week, but instead of returning to our series on the churches of Revelation, Troy delivered a message to us that he says is his heart for us as a church. Paul is essentially describing his personal outlook in ministry to the church at Corinth. While Paul was called to the vocational ministry of the gospel, this text is a mirror in which we...

Colossians 2:6-15; 3:1-4 Happy Easter yall!!! Pastor Troy brought a powerful message concerning the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. He told us up front that this may be a little different from the Easter message we normally hear. You can never hear too much about the cross and the empty tomb, but Troy takes it a step further with this message. What does the resurrection mean for us tod...

John 4:1-26 Pastor Cory brings us a very important message that we all need to hear from story of Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well. This woman was despised, rejected, but worst of all, ignorant to the truth of the gospel. Jesus Christ is the Messiah that has come to deliver God's truth to the world. He has come to set the record straight, but not only that, He is com...

Revelation 2:8-11 Pastor Troy is back this week in his series on the churches of Revelation. He reminds us, however, that Jesus' message to the church in the first century was not for them only, but for the Church of God throughout these end times. The letter to Smyrna was the shortest of the seven, but it is packed with powerful, convicting, and encouraging truth! Jesus revealed to them that...

Matthew 24:3-14 Pastor Cory brings a timely message about the events we are seeing today in these end times. Jesus not only promised that He would return, He gave signs that would precede His second coming. While much of what we are facing today in this world may be daunting and overwhelming at times, as God's people we can rest assured that our Lord is going to come back and set everything i...

Revelation 2:1-7 Today we explored the first church Jesus spoke to in the book of Revelation, the Church of Ephesus. They were a church filled with many good works. They had rooted out evil in the church, and they had not fainted in their labors. Yet, Jesus says that He has something against them---they had left their first love. From this, we took a look at our own hearts. If this first century c...

Hebrews 11:1-16 Pastor Cory delivered a powerful message this morning on faith from the book of Hebrews. You may have hear the "Hall of Faith" preached on before, but Cory brings this message right to us as the church of God. Faith is essential in the Christian walk, and it is what sets apart from an unbelieving world. The writer of Hebrews describes faith as almost something that is tan...

Revelation 1:1-20 Pastor Troy is back in our series on Vision as we traverse God's calling to grow our church. He says the plan is to look at each of the seven churches in chapters 2 and 3 of the book of Revelation. However, chapter 1 serves us as the introduction to this series, giving us the picture of our Lord who has come to deliver the message to the churches. The most important thing to...

Colossians 3:12-17 Pastor Cory brings us this message from the book of Colossians, relating to our series on Vision. The church at Colossae was very near to Paul's heart. They had faced many attacks by false doctrines, but perhaps their biggest foe was their own flesh. Paul encourages the church to put off their old self, and to put on the new man, which is renewed in Christ. In these verses...

Ephesians 2:19-22 Pastor Troy brings us another message for our vision month. Towards the end of the message, he delivers the vision that God has given him for Bald Mountain Baptist Church, asking that we pray for God to help us grasp ahold of where He wants to take us as a church, and we ask you join us in prayer as well! To open up this message, Troy brings a powerful thought about the true esse...

Psalm 16:1-11 Pastor Cory delivers a message from this "golden" psalm of David in our new year vision month. After Pastor Troy preached about keeping Christ at the center of our lives, Cory finds it appropriate to tell us what it means to truly walk with God. You will hear a familiar verse in this psalm, as David remarks how the lines have fallen to him in pleasant places. Even in the mi...

Lamentations 3:17-25; John 15:1-5; 1 Peter 2:1-6 Pastor Troy brings us into the New Year with a message regarding the vision and direction of the church. Before we are to grow numerically or physically, the we must grow individually in our relationship with Christ. For this to happen, Christ must take priority in our lives above all else. And not only priority, He must be the very wellspring and f...

Isaiah 9:6-7 Pastor Cory delivers a powerful message surrounding the birth of our Savior from this passage. Over 700 years before Jesus was born in the manger, God foretold of His coming through the prophet Isaiah. We see in these verses that this would not just be any ordinary king of a particular nation, He would be the everlasting King upon the throne of David. Not only that, He would be God in...
