Pastor Frank Hampton Jr. Sermons

"The loss of wealth is much, the loss of health is more, but the loss of soul is such, that no man can restore." (Robert H. Smith) A man's soul is his most prized, precious, and premium possession; infinite in both value and longevity. May God grant us personal revelation of this eternal insight and our attitude, mindset, and conduct reflect that understanding. 

The true people of God will settle with nothing less than the presence of God; with what works. It is not hard to discern where and through whom God is working, and even those who may outwardly criticize God's people know deep within that what they are doing is what produces results. Do not content yourself with anything less than the presence of God being definitely with you; the fulness of God!...

The tone, heart, and burden of this message echo that of the Apostle Paul in his farewell address to the Ephesian elders in Acts 20. Bro. Hampton with his “66 years” of insight, wisdom, and experience urge the saints to not go down with the ship or fall victim to the general conditions of our day.  Alternatively, he encourages the saints to strive to be apart of the remnant of her seed, build them...

War for the saints is inevitable; there is no way to go around it and stay saved. Therefore we must fashion our minds for the spiritual warfare! Our lifestyles ought to be so that we could engage a major crisis at any time. If you are in a war, fight it out until the end; if you are not, give yourself in preparation for it! Date of Message: ?/?/1990

God has directed His promises to those whose heart is perfect toward Him; it is these who can expect and hold God to His promises. A perfect heart is characterized by perfect trust. God has not promised to come through because we are suffering or in distress, but because we trust Him and are empty of all doubt. Soul-searching is in order after listening to this Word from God! Is your heart perfect...

It's one thing to not accept or delay acceptance of the truth. It's another thing to oppose it blatantly. When an individual exchanges the tender working of the Holy Ghost for hardness, hatred, and hostility towards that working they adjudicate themselves as children of Satan, appropriately deserving hell. May Almighty God enable us to prove ourselves worthy of everlasting life. Preached on Novemb...

An ultimatum is made in salvation: either you crucify the old man or the old man will crucify you; both cannot co-exist in salvation for long. The life of every living thing can only be perpetuated if it is fed; if you stop feeding something, it dies. So it is with the old man, or the old nature. You will never be able to mortify the old man unless you get brutal enough with it to stop feeding it,...

Interfacing the Divine requires a still mind.  The only way to "know", hear the "still small voice", receive revelation, and experience a spiritual deposit from God is through stillness and solitude.  "Don't get excited", be still and know. 

There is a grace to which we have access; a grace that will enable us to stand under any circumstances. In the morning time of the gospel day, the church stood in the face of strong persecution. They felt the same way we feel about be physically persecuted, but it was the standing grace that allowed not to waiver in the face of death. We too must make it up in our minds that we are going to stand,...

Immortality is that aspect of God that we have inherited; our conscious existence is an eternal one. But those who have obtained life and conquered fear of death will have an eternal existence of bliss! We are sure that heaven lies on the other side of the life of a saint because the joy and ecstasy that we have experienced on this side is something that earth cannot produce! Our experience as sai...

Human nature is anti-sacrifice.  The essence of a true Christian's existence is sacrifice.  The level of one's spirituality is defined by the state of their personal altar. 

When it comes time for you to reckon with God, He will not judge you by what you did, but by what you could have done. Pastor Hampton challenged the heart of the saints, presenting to them a heavy question: have you done what you could? The position of our souls before God is dependent on us reaching our full potential for God, for we must give an account for anything that went lacking because of...

It is an impossibility to prepare for the evil day when it’s already knocking at your door. Every human life will face a season of intense difficulty, pressure, and hostile spiritual warfare. As Christians we survive and thrive amid this time by allowing God to shape, train, and teach us in prior times of peace. Preached on October 6, 1982.

After the first apostasy, it took the church many hundreds of years to recapture the blamelessness and glory with which she began. But so soon after she regained it, she became spotted again. It is in this condition the church now stands, and it is up to us, those of whom the church consists, to rid ourselves of every individual and collective spot, that Christ's bride may be blameless upon His im...

God operates with a different criteria of measurement than we humans do.  His eyes are on the spirit (internal) and we default to the flesh (external). The posture of one’s heart is the surest determinant of one’s spiritual success not any external measure (even if it relates to the spiritual realm). Furthermore, we know sin separates from God, however God's ultimate desire is that we maintain a c...

God has entrusted every person with a responsibility. We are stewards of the task that God has committed to our trust, and are expected to be faithful in carrying it out. The completion of this mission is not optional: our eternal destination is predicated on whether or not we fulfill God's plan. Can God trust you in carrying out this task? To apprehend that for which you were apprehended? In the...

Christ and his army conquered then and is conquering still now, victorious through the annuls of time.   The caliber experience God expects of his church is that of unbroken glory.  The flame of His glory ignites upon a definite work of salvation in the soul and must grow in heat and luminance as you progress, walking on the path of just, which is as a shining light that grows brighter and brighte...

Every action has an immediate reaction, but also lasting aftermath. Often people act swiftly, only seeing as far as the immediate result, and not considering that they also must deal with the aftermath of their actions. How the aftermath is handled is usually just as consequential as the action itself, and a failure to handle it right might mean one's eternal downfall. So we would do well to make...

Sentencing against an evil work is always God’s last resort. God’s mercy endures, going to extreme measures to give all of his human children every opportunity to correct their errors and wholly follow the Lord. However, humans have the ability to waste God’s aggressive goodness and merciful power to such a point to where there is no return; therefore an eternal divine ruling to damnation is reaso...

The spiritual condition of this world is only growing colder. The religious world is also following the same trajectory. If then the world is getting colder, in order for the people of God to remain hot, we must continually increase the fire in our souls. There is no way we can stay the same and not be affected by this atmosphere. Everyone that falls spiritually only adds to the cold, and we who a...

Holistic life satisfaction is only achieved in one kind of lifestyle; that which is built on and centered around the foundation of Christ. Since the beginning, mankind has always attempted to design a meaningful, substantive, and fulfilling existence disconnected from God’s course. Humanity has made status, financial affluence, and counterfeit fleshly religion their chief pursuit. Meanwhile Satan...

Noah condemned the entire world because he was perfect in the wicked environment before the flood. He condemned the world because he went far enough to meet God's standard despite the prevailing conditions around him. We too have the very grave responsibility, as saints of God, to judge the world by our lives; we must be perfect. God ought to be able to use our lives as a perfect example of what h...

There is no pursuit more noble in this life and rewarding in the life to come than to do always those things that please God. Christian, don't be relaxed by casual "churchianity"; work out your own salvation, with fear, trembling, and reverence. Stand bold in face of pressure, allow Christ to be Lord of your life and His spirit to guide you safely all the way Home.

As sure as the sun is to rise each morning, payday is coming! Depending on whose wages you are receiving, this is either your greatest blessing or your greatest curse. If you spend your time, energy, tears, and life altogether working for the devil until your cup fills us, you will receive a full payment for your life-work. But, glory to God, if you spend your life building up the kingdom of God a...

God's ways are unfathomable, beyond comprehension, and can often appear inequitable. Our Christian journey will be riddled with countless disappointments, unexpected misfortunes, and allowed accidents or irreversible happenings that God could've prevented.  Knowing this, the basis of commitment to God must not be fixed in our understanding why He deals as He does, but rather in the simple fact tha...
