Pastor Frank Hampton Jr. Sermons

In the "Christian" world today, grace is often misapplied and seen as tool that causes one's sins to go without effect. However, this is not at all the purpose of grace. Grace gives power to deny all ungodliness and worldly lusts, and enables one to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. The Spirit of grace has taken it upon Himself to reveal this truth to everyone who comes i...

Temptation is inevitable, but it’s your choice to entertain it. For many Christians, the real struggle isn’t falling to it — it’s flirting with it. To live a conquering, consistent, and exemplary Christian life you must foresee evil afar off, entirely avoid all grey areas, and maintain a violent disposition towards sin. Date preached: April 9, 2000

Many are contented to simply survive spiritually, but God's Word exhorts us that we should be doing so much the more as we see the day approaching! It should not be so that we see our brother or sister going through, and we turn a blind eye to it; no, we should get up under their burden with them as if we were going through ourselves. This is how one becomes more spiritual, draws closer to God, an...

A cursory glance at our country’s condition—reflected in the news, mainstream media, religion, politics, and the general state of human well-being, reveals that negativity is deeply woven into the fabric of society. Furthermore as Christians, it is self evident that Satan incessantly works to ensure our mental energy is fixated on negative things and blind to positive things. “Shall we receive goo...

For many, the pull of the world is so strong. The life of the party seems nigh irresistible; but what the devil does not show in his picture for their life is that every party comes to an end, and for many, it is already over! The end of the party, in some instances, is not death, but is when all the enjoyment of sin is gone. And what many do not realize is that it is not as easy as just staying i...

There is no human experience equal to that of a ex-saint (former saint). Any Christian, after having tasted the good word of God and experiencing so great a salvation - only to turn to and crucify their Saviour afresh, by returning to the vomit of sin is an atrocity beyond comprehension. The process of becoming an ex saint is a vicious one; requiring intense effort, force, and resoluteness of mind...

Every day we are determining our destiny! Every word, imagination, and action direct our course. Listener, the final destination of your life and ultimately your soul is left in your hands and to your discretion. And although we are charting our course each moment, some moments forever define our destiny. This is why we must, without intermission, acknowledge God in all our ways that He may direct...

No utility is found in developing sophisticated prowess without first mastering the fundamentals. Before attempting algebra, one must have a firm grasp of addition and subtraction, lest your lack of comprehension of these rudimentary concepts expose you as incompetent and juvenile. This evergreen truth holds cosmic relevance in the realm of God, yet it is being utterly abandoned—and in some cases...

God did not create us for us to live however we want to live; He has a divine purpose for every one of us. If you choose and settle it to follow God's purpose for you no matter what, then God Himself will see to it that you do! God will provide every provision that you possibly need, and the devil himself is powerless to stop you! However, if you choose to disregard God's purpose for you, then He...

We all have first hand experience, in times past, operating within the destructive course of the world, as slaves to our senses and whims, and were by nature predisposed to evil. A challenge human nature presents and Satan latches onto, is to after having tasted the heavenly gift of salvation, for our grasp of the unmitigated corruption, debasement, and perversion of our former life to dampen. May...

The day of the final judgment will be a day when all earthly status and position will mean nothing, and all will be equal. None will be favored; all will be judged according to God's Word and they way they lived their life.  An account for every word, deed, thought, and intention will be given on that day to Christ, who is now our Advocate, but will then be our impartial Judge. Dear listener, hone...

God loves all his human children, but he favors few; his elect. In the course of nature good things flow naturally to us all, but there is a select group who have unreservedly relinquished themselves to God that has earned them a place of exclusive privilege. Almighty God himself, functions with the best interest of this particular group in all His undertakings. The advantages of being apart of Go...

The common belief in the religious world today is that there are some circumstances in which the children of God will inevitably fall, but the Word of God clearly dispels this false theology! God makes such provisions for us to go through every circumstance of life with perfect victory that it is an affront to God to say that we cannot do so. Before God sends anything our way, He first tests it to...

 In 2025, we find ourselves caught in the most anxiety-filled, lonely, and dissatisfied generation the world has ever seen. Life is unfair, arduous, unrelenting, and we live in a hostile world; irregardless of our spiritual status.   The condition of our society today is a result of the human race, under the influence of the prince of the power of the air, having esteemed it normal and strong, to...

Perfection is not just a doctrine, it is God's standard for being a part of His church and for making it to heaven. Many have ceased to preach God's standard of perfection because their life did not reflect what they were preaching; not because they could not be perfect, but because they were not willing to do what it takes to allow God to make them perfect. Perfection involves suffering; it invol...

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, life is too short, so party we must". The masses of the modern day west, have largely adopted the opinion that the “party” or experiencing excessive sensual gratification at the expense of higher priorities is a requirement, or “must” for a season, at least. This choice is often made by individuals who had there eyes open to some degree, to the potential regrets, maj...

Power over the forces of darkness is the only thing that can drive them out. Without this power, the powers of the devil will inevitably overcome us! The whole entire world is under Satan’s control, and he is not giving up an inch of ground that he is not forced to give up by a greater power. And aside from the devil himself, some sicknesses and other circumstances will just be there until power o...

Feelings are central to the human experience. There is a difference between experiencing an emotion and being an emotional person or being consumed by your sensations. If the intensity and commitment you possess in your salvation experience is dependent on a certain emotion you’re experiencing, your experience will resemble a roller coaster. Christian bring your emotions into subjection, keep your...

We are living in a world that is ever changing, and our environment is certainly a part. But it is imperative that, as saints, we are able to endure these changes. An inspections of both the ancient and recent past shows that many individuals and groups that were once on fire for God were destroyed because they were not equipped to endure the changes in their spiritual environment. Pastor Hampton...

There is not a bone of sympathy, remorse, or warmheartedness in Satan. He is maniacal, unreasonable, and thoughtless. Satan's job is not finished until your soul is lost or your usefulness for God is annihilated. Yes, Satan rarely loses any cases but neither are we ignorant of his devices. God help us all to function in fear towards God and not toy with the enemy of our soul.  Preached on: June 15...

Once God responds to your prayer, it is no longer time to pray about it, it is time to go forward! Praying when God tells you to act is only a waste of time. When you are walking with God, you are always moving forward; it is never of God to be in a state where you feel like you should not go forward. If you get out of line, then God will help you to get back in line so you can go forward. When Go...

Every saint of God ought to have the power to pray down the power of God when any situation arises that necessitates it. Christ, in Mark 16:17, said that the signs "shall follow them that believe." The strength to bring forth is not limited to the ministers and preachers. However, this power is accumulated, so you will not get it with a busy lifestyle or an inconsistent experience. The power to br...

Hardship is an indispensable ingredient in the recipe of Christian success. Mainstream Christendom has often times attempted to completely eradicate this requisite ingredient, not realizing that suffering is in fact at the very core of what it means to be a Christian; so much so that without it, you are no "Christ-ian" at all. Perfection, establishment, and strengthening is on the other side of pa...

Unless you really get down to business with God and get to a place where you can be stirred to a certain fervor, you will never be effective spiritually. Being fully honest with yourself, it is clearly seen that every move of God historically and recently was a direct result of the fervency that the saints accumulated by being unsatisfied with the prevailing condition. Heating up to the level of f...

It’s one thing to require something of others when you have no experience with it yourself, but it’s another thing to have actually gotten your hands dirty so that you can lead by your personal example. This is precisely what Christ has done for us in our Christian journey. He requires of us nothing more than what he, himself dealt with firsthand. Take courage, mighty Christian, while facing your...
