Second Baptist Church

Today as we open to Mark we see the importance for us to realize who Jesus is, His unique Power and Nature and His ability. We see that there is no one like Jesus.

Wayne Naugle shares with us about what the Bible says about how we as Christians, and as the Church are to care for the fatherless.

Today we look at our ultimate responsibility which is: to follow Jesus and His call. When we come to Christ, our lives are radically transformed - we are leaving everything else behind and saying "Christ I'm following you!" Mark 1:16-20

This sermon starts a new series in the Gospel of Mark as we look at taking a Journey With Jesus. Today, The Journey Begins. Psalm 1:1-15

Do you feel like you are surrounded by life's difficulties and troubles? If you are a follower of Jesus, you can rest assured on the promise that you are surrounded by the Lord. His Grace, Goodness, Love and Presence is there with you in the midst of it all.

Today we look at Psalm 124 and see how that even in darkness, God is with David. This is true for us today too. If God is for us who can be against us? He is our fortress, our shelter, He is our God.

Today, we continue in the sermon series: “Ascend: 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting”.  And so today we focus in on Psalm 123 that shows us that knowing where to look is not us just directing our attention to the Lord, but it is looking up and fixing our gaze on the Lord.

We begin the sermon series titled "Ascend: 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting" and today we start by looking at Psalms 120; "When Life Gets You Down, Look Up!"

As we close out 2024, we look at how the apostle Paul talks about the benefits of suffering. We see how it is during the valleys of life when God uses pain and suffering to spiritually mold and shape us the most. 2 Corinthians 12:1-10

Today on Christmas Eve we look at the last name for Christ in Isaiah 9:6-7 as we close out the Christmas season. This Messiah will bring peace - He shall be called: Prince of Peace

He shall be called everlasting Father. Jesus Christ helps us know The eternal everlasting God as our everlasting Father. He will never leave us, never forsake us, He is the one Who has us in the palm of His hand.

Isaiah tells us of a King that is not just any baby, this King is deity, this King is eternal. His reign will be forever and of which He rules with truth and grace. Mighty God.

2023 Thanksgiving Communion Sermon 1 Corinthians 11:23-32

Today we look at the topic of waiting. We see how we can "re-frame" the concept of waiting so that we can begin to understand the importance of what God is doing for us, through us and around us, so that we might not try to get ahead of God. Psalm 27:14

We may live here on this earth, but in reality we are living and preparing for our eternity. Numbers 33-36

Where am I now and where am I going? Am I living for the fleeting promises this world has to offer or am I seeking the Promises of God and living for Him?

Today we look at what it means for us to obey God, follow His will and walk with The Lord.

We have been given the baton. As we live our lives and run this race we have been given the responsibility to pass the baton of the gospel and to disciple the next generation so that the gospel may be carried from one person to the next, one generation to another, for all those who come behind us. 2 Timothy 2:1-7

Everyday we see people living in between life and death; heaven and hell; earth and eternity. So today we open to the book of Numbers and see how important and vital it is to obey and completely put our trust in God as we are living life In Between. Numbers 21

Life is  not going to be easy, it will beat us down. But there is not a promise from God that he will not fulfill. You can trust His goodness and always take him at His Word.

Today in the book of Numbers we look at the role of the priests and the Levites and we see the reminder God gives his people of their responsibility to their leaders, and how this relates to us as Christians living in the world today.

In this sermon Pastor Jim takes us through Numbers 16-17 and we look at how in our lives we need to not live in rebellion of those who have been put in authority over us but rather to respect them regardless of our personal feelings towards them. When we reject Gods leadership, we are rejecting the Lord himself.

In this sermon we look at the Israelites in Numbers 15 and the remedial course from God, and how He is reminding His people of the importance of following The Law, obeying His commandments and stepping out in Faith.

The reality very often in our lives is that we are living our lives between Faith and Fear. We are either: Trusting God, stepping out in faith; or we are doubting God and shrinking back in fear.

In this sermon, we look at the Israelite's and their miraculous delivery out of Egypt, out of the wilderness, and the fulfillment of God’s provision for the promise land. Today, we are a people who are also on a journey. We have been delivered from the bondage of sin, and now we are on a journey to receive the promise that God has for us. We are living in between salvation from our sins and n...
