Neely’s Bend Baptist Church Sermons

In Continue in Belief from 2 Timothy 3:10–17, we are reminded that following Christ will bring hardship, persecution, and opposition. Paul exhorts Timothy—and us—to persevere by trusting that the Lord rescues His people and equips them through His God-breathed Word. This sermon calls believers to remain anchored in Scripture and continue in steadfast faith, no matter the cost.

Deception is a real danger for believers, especially in times of trial. In Deception’s Antidotes from James 1:16–18, we hear James’s urgent command and discover four gospel-centered truths that guard our hearts—God’s goodness, His unchanging nature, our new birth by His will, and our identity as His firstfruits. This sermon by guest preacher, Andrew Blondo, calls Christians to resist deception by...

In this sermon, guest preacher Michael Darbouze preaches from Luke 2:25-38 on how Jesus is the one who was sent by God the Father to the cradle with the purpose of going to the cross! 

In Times of Difficulty from 2 Timothy 3:1–9, Paul calls the church to sober-minded responsibility in the midst of increasing sin and deception. This sermon explains why difficult times are a reality of the last days and how self-love, false godliness, and rebellion against truth fuel that difficulty. Believers are exhorted not only to understand the nature of the times but also to faithfully avoid...

In this sermon from 2 Timothy 2:20–26, we explore Paul’s call for believers to live as holy vessels—cleansed, set apart, and useful for every good work. We also consider what it means to be the Lord’s humble servants, marked by kindness, patience, gentle correction, and a refusal to quarrel. Ultimately, this passage points us to Christ Himself, the perfectly holy vessel and humble servant whose ex...

In this sermon from 2 Timothy 2:14–19, Pastor Austin teaches what it means to live as an approved worker before God—one who is diligent, unashamed, and committed to cutting straight the Word of Truth. By contrasting faithful workers with those who quarrel and spread irreverent, destructive teaching, the message calls Christians to remain grounded in God’s firm foundation and to diligently depart f...

In this sermon, we see Paul call believers to endure in the faith by remembering Jesus Christ, for the sake of the elect, and because we have died to this life. Rooted in the risen and promised Messiah whose gospel cannot be bound, Christians are strengthened to press on through hardship. Paul reminds us that those who endure with Christ will one day live and reign with Him in eternal glory.

In Good Soldiers of Jesus from 2 Timothy 2:1–7, we’re called to live with undivided devotion to Christ—drawing our strength from His grace, entrusting others with His Word, and enduring suffering as faithful soldiers in His service. This sermon urges believers to look to the cross, disciple others, and pursue a single-minded commitment that refuses to be entangled with the world. Listen and be enc...

In Follow and Guard the Gospel (2 Timothy 1:13–18), Pastor Austin calls believers to hold fast to the pattern of sound teaching and to guard the good deposit of the gospel through the power of the Holy Spirit. This message highlights two commitments of sincere faith—following healthy doctrine and guarding the truth of Christ—while urging the church to remain faithful amid a world that distorts the...

In Live Unashamed from 2 Timothy 1:8–12, we are reminded that sincere faith boldly stands for the gospel without shame and endures suffering with confidence in Christ. This message calls believers to trust God’s power and purpose as we live courageously for His glory, knowing He holds us secure until the end.

In 2 Timothy 1:3–7, Paul reminds Timothy of a sincere faith that was first seen in his mother and grandmother—and now lives in him. In this message, Pastor Austin challenges us to consider what we’ll be remembered for and what it truly means to have a faith that serves the Lord. From Paul’s encouragement to Timothy, we see that a sincere faith prays, models Christ to others, and fans into flame th...

In Dying Words, Pastor Austin walks through Paul’s final letter, 2 Timothy, calling the church to guard, suffer for, continue in, and proclaim the gospel. As Paul’s last exhortations remind us, every believer carries the sacred responsibility to preserve and pass on the good news of Jesus Christ to the next generation. We do apologize for the audio issues.

This sermon from Ruth 4, explores how Boaz’s selfless and sacrificial actions reflect God’s redeeming work through Christ. It calls believers to imitate Boaz by modeling redemption in their own lives—restoring what is broken through serving others unselfishly, living sacrificially, and pointing the world to Jesus, the ultimate Redeemer.

This sermon from Ruth 3 highlights Ruth’s bold proposal to Boaz and how God used it to provide redemption, provision, and rest for both her and Naomi. It points us to the greater truth that ultimate rest is found not in earthly security but in Jesus Christ, our true Redeemer, who takes us from empty to full and from restless to restful.

This sermon from Ruth 2 shows that what we call “happenstances” are actually **God’s sovereign work** to direct our lives, meet our needs, and display His covenant kindness. Through Ruth’s “chance” encounter with Boaz, we see how God’s providence unfolds in ordinary moments and calls us to rejoice in His faithful care.

This sermon from Ruth 1:6–22 explores Naomi’s journey of returning to God, highlighting how repentance begins with hearing good news, requires wholehearted devotion, and leads to new beginnings. Through Naomi and Ruth’s story, listeners are invited to turn back to God’s grace and trust His providence even in seasons of bitterness and loss.

This sermon, from Ruth 1:1-5 calls believers to live faithfully in God’s purpose and presence, even when circumstances seem uncertain. Through the story of Elimelech’s departure from Bethlehem to Moab, it urges Christians not to let hardship lead them away from God’s will, but to walk in obedience and trust His abiding presence.

As we begin a new sermon series through the book of Ruth pastor Austin kicks it off by teaching about 3 major themes in the book of Ruth. 

In this sermon guest preacher, Henry Webb teaches on how we should take the Lord's Day seriously because God is serious about the Lord's Day. 

As a church we are to be living in unity together as one. In this sermon, pastor Austin teaches on how when we submit to one another and when we live in harmony with one another we will live in unity together as one. 

God demands our holiness and when we live in one another fellowship we are able to help each other live holy. In this sermon, we look at James 5:16 where the command to confess sins to one another and pray for one another is given. As Christian confessing sins to one another can be really hard to do due to the shame, guilt, and embarassment one might feel but when our brothers and sisters in Chris...

In John 13 Jesus humbles himself and washes the feet of the disciples. After washing their feet he looks at them and instructs them to wash one another's feet. It wasn't so much that Jesus was teaching the disciples and commanding them to wash one another's feet as it was he was commanding them to serve one another. At NBBC we seek to be a church that lives in one another fellowship an...

The world is constantly forming us. News channels, magazines, social media, advertisements, large corporations, and even government but as Christians these are avenues in which we are not to be formed by. But rather we should be formed by God himself and his Word. And in his word we see two strategies the church must use to form one another. We form one another when we teach one another and we for...

In this sermon from Colossians 3:11-13 Pastor Austin Jones exposes what it means to bear with one another and to forgive one another. As long as we are here on this earth we are prone to sin and prone to the struggles of life and God has blessed us with the church to bear the burdens with one another and to live with forgiveness in our hearts toward those that sin against us. 

As we continue to discover what it means to live in one another fellowship, pastor Austin Jones takes us to 1 Thessalonians 5:14-15 where we are taught that we must do good to one another. Often we only do good to those who have done good to us, who we see worthy of good being done to, or even those that we agree with but in this passage we are taught that we do good to even those we don't agr...
