Reidsville Baptist Church

Think of a restaurant you were so excited about but it turned out to be such a dud.  A great dining experience really comes down to those two things: food and atmosphere.  It’s all about what you see and what you taste. For the math people in the house, here’s the equation: Food + Atmosphere = Experience. So how do we help people experience a new life in Christ. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares w...

How many of you either had a hope chest someone kept for you or are keeping a hope chest right now for someone else? Maybe you didn’t have an actual hope chest, but you did have something precious that you wanted to save and pass down to future generations. We hang on to them because we know they might mean something to those coming behind us. Regardless of the reason, it’s being saved because it...

What do superheroes and Christmas presents have to do with a church? If you are a follower of Jesus, did you know that God has given you superpowers so that you can be a superhero? I’m not saying that He’s made it possible for you to become famous and have movies made about you. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares with us how part of loving your church is being the hero God has made you to be.

Fences. They come in all shapes, sizes, and styles. Some are short, small, and transparent; others are walls of fortress. In every case, what is a fence designed to do? Keep something in or keep something out, right? The fence was the separation between the two spaces. It was the barrier between the front, which everyone was allowed to see, and the back, which is where we lived.   We are continuin...

Do we think about church the same way we think about going to the DMV, the doctor’s office, or the grocery store? Is this just a place that we feel we “have” to go to or is there more to it? Join as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares with us what it truly means to love my church the way God intended.

In a world that often demands instant gratification, we find ourselves in a constant state of waiting—waiting for answers, waiting for healing, waiting for hope. Yet, as we in Scriptures, we discover that waiting is not a passive act but an active expression of faith. Our main idea today is that in God's timing, He does bring hope, love, joy, and peace. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shows us the fulf...

Christmas is typically, and rightfully, thought of as a season of joy, but it can be a painful season for many people. Maybe you’re one of them.   What battles do you face today? What pain is relentlessly bombarding you as you hunker down in the trenches of life? What darkness haunts you even under the twinkling lights, candles, and decorations? We may not be able to end the personal, emotional, c...

Have you ever thought of Mary and Joseph as a love story? Their story is one of supernatural love. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares with us how God with us brings love.

Today we enter a season of Advent. The word advent means “coming” or “arrival,” and the season is marked by expectation, waiting, anticipation, and longing. Advent is not just an extension of Christmas—it is a season that links the past, present, and future. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares how God with us brings hope.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve been considering gratitude and praise as we have reflected on this psalm together. We’ve considered the call to worship or give thanks and the need to bear witness about what God has done so that others can respond. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas looks at the central portion of this passage an unpacks the difference between corporate worship and personal worship.

Last week, we began considering the relationship between praise and thanks and how we are called in this Psalm to verbalize or express our gratitude. That expression should include some discussion of God’s attributes and the affect that he has on us, on creation, and even on his enemies. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas helps us to understand what gratitude expects or requires and why in many ways, grat...

Over the next couple of weeks, we’re going to take some time to reflect and meditate on  Psalm 66 . We’ll look at it in smaller pieces or stanzas in order to grasp some of what’s happening here and how that relates to our lives today. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shows us what it means to give God the Praise/Thanks He deserves

We get so wrapped up in the day-to-day concerns of life that we tend to forget the big picture.   During this political season, we have to constantly guard against it.   We can get so wrapped up in issue after issue and debate after debate that we lose sight of the big picture. We get so focused on who’s winning and who’s losing that we forget the purpose of it all. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas remi...

Today we wrap up our series The Questions Jesus Asked with a question about understanding. Sometimes words can get lost in translation. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares the true meaning of being Born Again.

Have you ever seen something truly amazing? The dictionary says that to be amazed is to be overcome with wonder. In our time we’ve become a little jaded, perhaps; we’ve seen lots of cool stuff, and it’s hard to amaze us. But we still use the word. But how do you amaze God? Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares with us what it means to have faith over belief.

God’s love is generous, but I don’t think the word “generous” is strong enough. When we’re talking about God, we need to add a string of adverbs to it: God is lavishly, extravagantly, startlingly, hilariously generous! Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares two parables that help us understand God's extravagant generosity—also known as grace. 

Is worship more than gathering on Sunday mornings between 11:00 am and 12:00 pm? Or is it more than that? Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares with us a question about worship and introduces us to a person who Jesus says will always be remembered when the Gospel is preached.

Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho; it’s off to Work We Go. Intro: I love that song, don’t you? I have always been partial to Doc We have changed that song just a little bit over the years haven’t we? We now sing I Owe, I Owe, So It’s Off To Work We Go. That seems more fitting for us doesn’t it? Perhaps if we had a diamond mine like the dwarfs did, we would enjoy our work just a little more wouldn’t we. How do we truly...

We are in a series called, “The Questions of Jesus,” where we are allowing Jesus’ probing questions to examine our lives and open us up to the truth of his life and teaching. The questions are usually uncomfortable, but if we stay with them and allow them to do their work, our hearts will be opened to all God wants to do in our lives.  Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares with us a question about Com...

Questions are important because they open conversations and get us to consider things we might rather ignore. The purpose of our series is to open our lives to his penetrating questions, even when they are uncomfortable. And most of them are, if we take even a few moments to think about them. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares two questions about healing for you…

We all participate in one of three conversations: Practical ( What’s this really about? ) Emotional ( How do we feel? ) Social ( Who are we? ). If you don’t know what  kind  of conversation you’re having, you’re unlikely to connect.  Questions are important because they open conversations and get us to consider things we might rather ignore. With that in mind, we begin a new series today… The Ques...

This morning we bring our Daniel series to a close. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shares with us the hope we have a children of God.

He goes by many names and has many forerunners throughout history. In the Bible he is called the “little horn”, “coming ruler”, “man of lawlessness”, “man doomed to destruction”, and “beast”. We know him as the antichrist. He is self-centered, arrogant, prideful, egomaniacal individual who will epitomizes the depravity of man and our longing to be like God. Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas share a pictu...

Chapter 11 is a unique passage of scripture for a number of reasons. Some do not think that it can be preached in a sermon. It might be OK for Bible Study but not proclamation. There are others who think that because we are looking at historical events it can be passed off as prophecy. Since all Scripture is divinely inspired, then all Scripture, including Daniel 11, should be preached. Join us as...
