In this powerful message following Camp Meeting 2025, Justin Williamson explores the story of the ten lepers — and the one who returned. As we reflect on a week of spiritual renewal, this sermon challenges us to carry the spirit of thankfulness forward — not just for what God is doing, but for who He is. Let’s not be like the nine who moved on — let’s be like the one who came back to say thank you...

In this powerful and passionate message from Matthew 14, Dr. Kenny Baldwin challenges believers not to sit on the sidelines of the Christian life, but to step out in faith and get in on what Jesus is doing. Just as Peter stepped out of the boat and walked on water toward Jesus, Dr. Baldwin reminds us that Christ is still inviting His people to trust Him in dark and dangerous times — not to merely...

In this stirring message from 2 Samuel 21, Tyler Blue exhorts believers not to surrender what still remains in their lives, even in seasons of deep loss and drought. Through the story of Mephibosheth’s descendants, King David, and especially the mother named Rizpah, he presents a challenge: it’s time to fight for what is left. 🔍 Sermon Highlights Facing Seasons of Loss Rizpah’s heartbreak over he...

Join us for this powerful message from Bro. Brandon Dixon, preached during Tuesday night of Camp Meeting 2025at Carolina Baptist Church in Spartanburg, SC. 📖 Text: Exodus 17:8–12 🎙️ Sermon Title: “A Man Like Hur” In this stirring message, Bro. Dixon challenges us to be faithful in the unseen places — just like Hur, who held up the hands of Moses during the battle with Amalek. You may never stand...

Welcome to Camp Meeting 2025 at Carolina Baptist Church! In this powerful opening message, Bro. Billy Sampson preaches from Job 19:23–27, reminding us of the unwavering hope we have in a living, personal Redeemer. Sermon Title: The Power of a Personal Redeemer 📖 Text: Job 19:23–27 From the depths of suffering, Job declared three powerful truths every believer can claim: I know my soul has been re...

God keeps every promise He makes. In today’s message, we follow Abraham and Sarah through waiting, weakness, and wonder as the Lord reveals Himself as El Shaddai (the Almighty God), reaffirms His covenant, changes their names, and brings the promised son, Isaac, right on time. Even through their flaws, God’s grace shines—and it can in our lives too. “Is any thing too hard for the LORD?” — Genesis...

When God seems slow, our flesh gets loud. Genesis 16 shows Abraham and Sarai “helping” God—Sarai’s plan, Hagar’s pain, Abraham’s passivity—and the chain reaction that followed: pride, jealousy, harshness, and flight. Yet right in the wilderness, El Roi—“the God who sees me”—finds Hagar, speaks hope, and directs her steps. If you need prayer or want to follow Jesus, drop a comment or message us. 👍...

Lot didn’t wake up one day in Sodom—he pitched his tent toward it (Gen. 13:12–13). In this message Pastor Marc traces Lot’s slow drift: a small compromise driven by the love of gain, a move nearer to wickedness, and eventually a life inside Sodom that cost him his witness, his wealth, and even his wife (Gen. 19). This sobering narrative stands as God’s warning to believers in every age about world...

Jude says God set forth Sodom and Gomorrah “as an example” of His holy wrath against unrepentant sin. In this message, Pastor Marc walks through Scripture to show why that ancient judgment still warns our world—and the church—today. From pride and materialism to sexual perversion (Jude 1:7; Ezek. 16:49–50), Sodom’s sins “cried out” to heaven (Gen. 18:20). Archaeology even points to a sudden, fiery...

Have you ever tried to “help God out” only to realize you made things worse? Abraham did the same when famine struck the land of promise. Instead of waiting on God’s provision, he went down to Egypt, and what seemed like the “smart” move led to compromise, fear, and failure. Yet, in God’s grace, Abraham shows us how to come back: by returning to Bethel, to the altar, and to the Lord he had left be...

Genesis doesn’t just tell us where the world began—it reveals how God’s plan to save sinners unfolds. Today we follow Abraham from an unexpected calling to an impossible promise, and discover why the greatest gift is not land or lineage, but the Lord Himself. Message Highlights The Calling of Abraham (Gen 12:1–3): Pure grace—God seeks an idolater and promises a land, a nation, and blessing to all...

We’re often captivated by Jesus’ physical miracles, but Scripture shows an even greater work—the forgiveness of sins. In Mark 2, four friends lower a paralyzed man through a roof, and Jesus reveals His true mission: not merely to heal bodies, but to save souls. If God heals a body but the heart remains unregenerate, nothing eternal has changed. Jesus came to grant forgiveness and new life—the grea...

James confronts us with a powerful truth: real faith in Christ cannot coexist with favoritism. To show partiality—treating people differently based on wealth, appearance, or social standing—is not a small matter. It is sin. In this message, Pastor Marc unpacks: The Prohibition Against Favoritism – Why faith in Christ and partiality are incompatible (James 2:1). The Illustration of Favoritism – Two...

In today’s message, Pastor Marc explores the Tower of Babel—a story that is far more than ancient history. Genesis 10 & 11 reveal humanity’s attempt to unite under Nimrod in defiance of God, forming the first one-world government and false religion. But God intervened—confusing their language and scattering the nations. This passage serves as both a warning of Satan’s ongoing agenda to establish a...

Genesis 9 gives us the final chapter in the life of Noah—a man who found grace in God’s eyes, walked in faith, and obeyed the Lord through the flood. But his story doesn’t end with triumph. It ends with both a fresh beginning and a foolish blunder. In this message, Pastor Marc unpacks: God’s commands for life after the flood (propagation, provision, and protection of life). God’s covenant of grace...

Tonight, Pastor Marc continues our midweek study with a powerful message from James 1:26–27: “Pure Religion vs. Pointless Religion.” Many claim Christianity is “not a religion, but a relationship.” While that’s partly true, James reminds us that true saving faith produces pure religion—a faith that transforms the heart, tames the tongue, cares for the needy, and pursues holiness. In this message,...

Today’s message takes us through Genesis 4:25 – 8:22, where we see the tragic spread of sin and the glorious provision of salvation through God’s grace. From the murder of Abel to the corruption of mankind, sin demanded judgment. But in the midst of it all, God preserved His promise through the line of Seth and provided salvation through Noah and the Ark. Just as the Ark was God’s provision of sal...

Unity among God’s people is not just a suggestion—it’s where the Lord pours out His blessing. In Psalm 133, David celebrates the beauty and goodness of brethren dwelling together in harmony. True unity is not built on compromise with sin or man’s opinions, but on God’s truth and character. Just as oil anointed Aaron for consecrated service, and just as refreshing dew gives life to the land, so doe...

When we hear the word “prodigal,” we often think of a wayward son who comes home. But Cain’s story is different — it’s the story of a prodigal who never returned. Genesis 4 gives us one of Scripture’s most sobering warnings: sin, left unchecked, hardens the heart and leads us further from God’s presence. In this evening’s message, Pastor Marc Williamson examines Cain’s downward spiral — from pride...

God’s Divine Design | Genesis 1–2 | Pastor Marc Williamson 📖 Part 1 of A Journey Through Genesis Today we begin a new sermon series, “A Journey Through Genesis,” by looking at the first two chapters of the Bible. In this message, Pastor Marc walks us through God’s Divine Design—what it reveals about our Creator, our world, and ourselves. Discover the foundational truths of creation, the image of...

Everyone wants to succeed — in school, in sports, in marriage, in life. But true success for the believer is found in becoming like Christ and walking in victory over the “giants” that stand in our way. In tonight’s message, “Traits of a Champion,” Pastor Marc Williamson draws from 1 Samuel 17 and the story of David and Goliath to reveal how we can overcome spiritual giants and live out the victor...

In this heartfelt Mother’s Day message, Pastor Marc Williamson takes us to 1 Kings 17:8-24 to reflect on the life of a widowed mother in Zarephath who witnessed GOD move in miraculous ways. In the midst of a national drought, personal despair, and spiritual darkness, this mother’s story shines as a powerful testimony of faith, obedience, and divine intervention. Whether you’re a mother, a parent,...
