Brookville Baptist Church

Over 95% of Christians surveyed have mentioned that they haven't noticed the power of the Holy Spirit in their lives. It seems to be an existence devoid of any Divine Prescence. This stands to reason considering that 98% of Christians have closed themselves of from the Power of the Holy Spirit by cutting themselves of from daily Prayer and daily Reading of God's Word. Most people surveyed didn't e...

Three groups appear when we look at this text: Blatant Idolators People who hedge their eternal bets, worshiping every god plus Yahweh. Those who are practical atheists. Believing God is there but will do nothing. Are you on this list? Is someone you love? What view does God take of these groups, and how does He say He will act in the lives of those on this list? Today, Kurt Traugott takes us into...

When you speak of God, are you speaking of the God that the Church has been speaking about for two thousand years—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, spoken by the faithful for four thousand years? Or, when you speak of God, are you speaking of a concept you have fashioned together in your mind out of cultural, political, and personal convictions, with a little Scripture as a garnish? On the mor...

As Pastor David will explain, delegation is not only a practical necessity, but a biblical one. That's one of the things we'll see in Exodus 18:13-27. Exodus 18:13-27 The next day Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood around Moses from morning till evening. 14When Moses’ father-in-law saw all that he was doing for the people, he said, “What is this that you are doing for the people?...

As the faithful of the LORD, Good News should be contagious. It should be nearly impossible to keep to ourselves. That is the example we see from Exodus chapter 18. As soon a Moses saw his father-in-law he couldn't help but tell him all that the LORD had done for him and the people of Israel. As Christians, we have the Good News of Eternal Salvation through Christ, and that should be something tha...

The victory we see in Exodus 17:8-16 isn't one that is achieved through great strategy or overwhelming numbers and human feats of strength. This victory is a direct result of God's will and strength. This passage reminds us that there are battles that need fought, we need to be united in this fight, and we need the LORD to be our strength in the fight. Exodus 17:8-16 8 Then Amalek came and fought...

Israel tests the LORD in the wilderness, yet God graciously provides water from the rock. In this sermon Pastor David explores how the rock points to Christ, the life-giving Rock, who gives the living water that alone can satisfy the thirsty soul." Exodus 17:1-7 Water from the Rock 1 All the congregation of the people of Israel moved on from the wilderness of Sin by stages, according to the comman...

The Waters of Marah 22 Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the Desert of Shur. For three days they walked in the desert without finding water. 23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink the water there because it was bitter. (That is why it was named Marah.) 24 So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?” 25 And Moses cried out to the L...

There are situations in our lives when normal speech doesn't seem right; our hearts are too full. What's needed in these moments is a song. In the text we come to this morning, the people of Israel have just been rescued from certain death and they are so full of praise that they have to sing to the LORD. This is the Song of Moses. 11 “Who is like You, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like You, maje...

The mission given to us by the Lord Jesus Himself, "Go therefore and Make Disciples of all nations," is something every Christian is called to take part in. That being said, making disciples should look less like addition and more like multiplication. It shouldn't be a handful of people who make disciples, and then later make some more. Instead, it should be Disciples - Making Disciples - Making D...

Matthew 28:18-20 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Luke 10:1-9 After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go. 2 And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. 3 Go your way; behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of...

The Gospel transforms the lives of individuals and the lives of entire communities. In this sermon Pastor David explains that if we really want the Gospel to saturate our community, it must first saturate our lives. For Brookville to be transformed by the Good News, Christians must be living transformed lives. Romans 12:1-2 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present you...

John 17:20-23 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You have sent Me. 22 The glory that You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one even as We are one, 23 I in them and You in Me, that they...

The Exodus with the crossing of the Red Sea is one of the most climactic rescues in Scripture, but it points forward to an even greater Exodus and even better rescue. In this sermon Pastor David explains that the Red Sea crossing is part of a pattern anticipating the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead as well as the future resurrection of believers. The same God who brought Israel out of t...

During the Exodus, the LORD rescued His people by the blood of a lamb and established annual holidays to commemorate this great deliverance. In this sermon Pastor David explains why the feast of Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread are of such great significance to Christians. They anticipated the saving work of Christ's substitutionary death and it's sanctifying effect. Exodus 12:11–15 In t...

Why did God strike Egypt with plagues? Why did the LORD harden Pharaoh's heart? How does Yahweh rescue His people through His judgment? In the sermon Pastor David answers these questions and more.

Who's the boss, applesauce? Who runs the show, buffalo? Who's in command, rubber band? In today's sermon Pastor David answers this very question as we finish up exodus 6 and head into chapter 7. We see that Moses and Aaron begin to lean who is the Captain of their souls, and they repeatedly display this by doing what the LORD commands. We will also encounter Pharaoh's refusal to have the LORD reig...

In this sermon, Pastor David introduces us to the seven "I Will" statements of Exodus chapter 6, while giving us their context starting in 4:31 and going through 6:13. When we get to chapter 6 we see the unfolding of the great and precious promises of God there within. The promises of deliverance and redemption, adoption, and inheritance found chiefly in verses 6-8. The end goal is in sight even a...

In this portion of Scripture the Lord shows Himself to be merciful, gracious and slow to anger as Moses resists the Lord's command. Moses questions the Lord, he makes excuses, he refuses and then he compromises. In this sermon Pastor David explains how we need to learn from Moses's mistakes. Exodus 3:16–22 Go and gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, ‘The LORD, the God of your fath...

As Moses investigates a burning bush he encounters God Himself. In their conversation the Lord reveals His covenant name, "I Am who I Am." In this sermon, Pastor David examines this profound name, what reveals about God and why it matters to our lives today.

Exodus chapter two is the second time God has saved through an arc. Both events (the ship of the flood and this basket made to carry infant Moses) were only temporary and both were only archetypes that point us toward the final and lasting Salvation found in God's Son Jesus Christ.

Exodus 1 is a bleak chapter of oppression and struggle. It almost reminds me of the strain put on a car battery. Power is demanded from it for the spark that keeps the engine turning and all the lights plus accessories in the vehicle. Yet, no matter the strain put on it, the alternator supplies above and beyond what it needed to run the equipment and even recharges the battery. That is sort of how...

The book of Exodus tells the exciting true story of how the LORD saved His people from slavery in Egypt, then gave them His law and dwelt with them in the tabernacle. In this overview sermon of the entire book of Exodus Pastor David examines the major themes of the book as as well as the basic plot of the narrative. Exodus 6:6–7 Say therefore to the people of Israel, ‘I am the LORD, and I will bri...

We have so many reasons to thank the Lord, yet we get focused on other things and forget about all the blessings we have received from Him. In the sermon Pastor David encourages us to always remember the Gospel and never forget to thank the Lord for it. Psalm 103 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name! 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits,...
