Sermons from First Baptist Church of Sherman, NY

Send us Fan Mail There are a lot of messages in the world clamoring for our attention every day. Which ones should we listen to? How do we know which messages are the right ones?

Send us Fan Mail The writer John spoke of people who tried to turn Christians away from Jesus. He called them antichrists, and the truth is that they still exist today.

Send us Fan Mail Text: 1 Corinthians 10:1-11

Send us Fan Mail In this message, we look at the commandment to love our brother and try to answer the question: "Why do I need a command to love my brother?" This commandment is old in that it told us to love, but it is new in that Jesus showed us how to love. (Text: 1John 2:7-11)

Send us Fan Mail How can I know that I truly know who God is? Is knowing ABOUT God the same as knowing God, or is there a feeling associated with knowing Him? In this message, we will discuss what Scripture says about knowing that you know God, that is, that you truly have a relationship with Him. (Text: 1John 2:3-6)

Send us Fan Mail The truth is that sin is a reality for every person. Even Christians deal with sin. So what happens when a Christian sins? In this message, we'll see what Jesus does for the Christian who finds himself once again in need of forgiveness. (Text: 1John 2:1-2)

Send us Fan Mail There are nearly 30 references to love in the book of 1John. No doubt, it is a major theme throughout the book, yet for all the mentions of love in his letter, there is not one mention of love in chapter one. Chapter one is all about light. To really understand that God is love, we must first understand that God is light. (Text: 1John 1:5-10)

Send us Fan Mail What happens when we truly experience Jesus? We find complete joy and fellowship with Christ and His church, and we desire others to experience it, too. This is the first message in a study through 1 John. (Text: 1John 1:1-4)

Send us Fan Mail Guest Speaker: Pastor Terry Minge (Text: Luke 5:1-8)

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever been angry with God? In Jonah 4, we find Jonah angry with God and once again in need of God's extravagant mercy. God taught Jonah three valuable lessons that still apply today. (Text: Jonah 4:1-11)

Send us Fan Mail When we come to Jonah 3, we find Jonah standing once again on dry land and ready to obey God. His message to Nineveh, though not one of love and compassion, was truthful and effective. In this chapter, we see that the people of Nineveh believed God's message, and that belief produced a change in their behavior. (Text: Jonah 3:1-10)

Send us Fan Mail Just as God used the storm, He sent a whale to extend mercy to Jonah. The whale wasn’t a punishment but a way back to God’s will and obedience. It brought Jonah a second chance. Unfortunately, it took a whale to get Jonah’s attention. Are we willing to seek mercy and forgiveness before God sends a whale to get our attention? (Text: Jonah 2:1-10)

Send us Fan Mail Storms in life aren’t necessarily punishments from God. For Job, Daniel, and Joseph, their “storms” were tests, not results of sinful choices. For Jonah, however, we understand that his storm was the result of disobedience, yet it was in fact an act of mercy. God doesn’t force us to obey, but there are consequences if we don’t. In this message we’ll look at this type of storm, tho...

Send us Fan Mail When we look at Jonah's response to God's call to go to Nineveh, we have to answer the question of why Jonah ran away. Why didn't he just tell God no and stay where he was? Why travel all the way to Tarshish? The answer may surprise you. (Text: Jonah 1:1-2)
