Pt 25 BOUGHT WITH A PRICE Purchased 1 Corinthians 6:20 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. It had been a year now, she had been working and saving for a year. She was promised that if she saved enough, she could go and choose the one she wanted, bring it home and care for it. It would not be just the price of the purchase that...

Pt 24 Belong 1 Corinthians 6:12–20 12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.  13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. 14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and...

And such were some of you! Paul describes but some of the sins by which we were once all identified, “but ye are washed”. What wonder to know that such has been washed away through the blood of Christ. “But ye are sanctified”, how it is that now we stand before God clothed in the righteousness of Christ. “But ye are justified”, even the thought that our sins are paid for in full fill us with wonde...

Deception is never overt, lies enter society covertly. There are few lies that have manifested the world over greater than that of Global Warming, previously known as Global Cooling (circa 1970’s), but today referred to simply as Climate Change, “The Green Dream”. The evil source for the change in our weather is surprisingly Carbon Dioxide, a trace gas that makes up less than .04% of all the atmos...

When truth is rejected, any basis from which to judge matters is taken away. Truth has failed and what we see in the world today is Judgement fallen. The world is groping for a wall like blind men. The post Pt 5: Judgement Fallen appeared first on Hope Baptist Church.

Truth Is Fallen When Jesus spoke of the signs concerning his return, the predominant sign alluded to seems certain to be that of deception. A deception so convincing that many will believe the Antichrist is Jesus Christ. The world will indeed be looking for a saviour, times will be the most difficult of all history, and deception will be the predominant means by which the antichrist will be accept...

Certainly one of the most personally challenging sermons this Pastor has ever preached. What is the environment of indulgence you are personally permitting in your life and in your Church to allow evil to enter and remain? How willing are you to accept responsibility for the environment you indulge? The post Environment Of Indulgence appeared first on Hope Baptist Church.

Mayday 2026 Replaced Introduction Matthew 24:1–15 “Be Not Deceived” How many people here love being deceived? How many have been deceived? How many people are still deceived?…… Yet there is no doubt there are people here who hold to some very serious doctrinal differences. Though no one put up their hand believing they are deceived NOW, it is evident that some are….might it be you? It is fair to s...

Parenting is not merely a work for mum, nor dad alone, perfect parenting is a re-presentation of the image of God. A threefold cord is not quickly broken says the wise man, we cannot perfectly parent children on our own, if God is not in the mix, if God does not lead and does not teach, and if we fail to understand that we are attending to an infinitely valuable work in the raising of our kids, we...

Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! Reading: Psalm 107:1-43 Introduction: O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and fro...

The will of God concerning you is to one day receive of the Lord his praise shown in the words, Well done my good and faithful servant. The post The Will Of God Concerning You appeared first on Hope Baptist Church.

It may surprise many where wisdom begins; 7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7 Wisdom is the counsellor which cries out for all to hear and to learn, but many despise its value. They search for hidden wisdom.  Proverbs 1:20–24 20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: 21 She crieth in the chief place of...

“Yes” is the answer to all who ask God for Wisdom. The greatest search all men could have is that for Wisdom, and all people ought to be lovers of wisdom. Philosophers (Philo = Love, Sophia = wisdom), all people ought to be “Philosophers”. True wisdom however only comes directly from God. It was the one prayer the wisest king who ever lived asked for, it was wisdom in the heart of Solomon that ins...

If there was but one message, one summary point of all sermons, an idea, a concept that can be ingrained in the mind of those who belong to Christ, it is the knowledge to Abide In Him. With all the confusion of the world, all the noise, all the clamour and conflicts of life, all the troubles and tribulations in our own personal lives, our abiding in Jesus Christ steadies the sea tossed ship. Why?...

Confidence Matthew 11:28–30 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. The alarm went off on Wednesday morning, Maria got up first to get herself ready for her train ride in to the city. I filled...

A faulty witness misrepresents the person to whom they are aligned when their representation does not align. Christians seeking justice from the unjust fail to understand the witness in which they witness. The post Pt 22: Faulty Witness appeared first on Hope Baptist Church.

...not to company..., today few can identify what sin is let alone be willing to shun the man who claims to be a brother doing evil. The Church is charged to put away from among yourselves that wicked person. Paul here testifying that the individual who calls himself a brother (1 Cor 5:11), is false, indeed a wicked person (v13). Our Church has seen much of this in the last two years, the Pastor h...

We live in a time when any mention of sin is turned away from in modern Churches. When this happens it is inevitable that it will inevitably permeate the entire Church, all it takes is a little leaven, a little sin and it acts like yeast in bread to corrupt the whole. Tragically, when that which is evil (sinful) becomes tolerated in a place where the desire is toward all that is good (holy), it do...
