There are over 300 prophecies concerning the coming of Jesus, including where He would be born and through whom. Every single one came true. There is a 1 in quintillion chance of all prophecies being fulfilled, but they concern Jesus' birth. We begin with Micah 5:1-4 but we look at several verses that prophesy about Jesus.

The baby Messiah's coming is foretold. At a time when the land of Israel was suffering great darkness of oppression and sinfulness, a Messiah's coming was foretold. In a land of darkness, a land without hope, hope was offered in the person of Jesus Christ. Listen as we read Isaiah 9:2-7 and learn of the great hope promised to the Israelis and to us.

On this Sunday before Thanksgiving 2024, we pause to look at how to have a heart of thankfulness and gratitude. Join us as we look at Luke 7:11-17 and other verses to see what God's word says about being thankful.

This past Sunday, November 17, 2024, we were honored to have Dr. Todd Gray, Executive Director of the Kentucky Baptist Convention, bring the message to our morning worship service. The title of his sermon is "Taking the Gospel to Your County" and he used Acts 16:6-17 for his scripture reference.

We face many storms, and when we do they consume our focus. That is a normal reaction. Because of the particular storm, we may reduce other activities saddly, that includes cutting off church attendance. If we have money problems we will reduce or stop our tithe to the church. When we reduce our church activities including giving to God's work through the church, we are shortchanging ourselves. Go...

This is from week 10 of our Wednesday night Mid-Week Prayer and Bible Study. Tonight's lesson from the Book of Amos chapter three talked about God's Call and what that entails.

Why do we shortchange God when we're pressed for time or money? Is it because we give more than He does, so we figure He owes us? Are we doing more than He has done or is doing? Watch and listen as we examine scripture to see what God has done for us and how we rob Him when we withhold our time and money. Many scriptures are used but primarily Malachi 3:10-12 and Luke 6:37,38 form the foundation o...

Halloween is a fun time with costumes and candy, but we should remember there is also a lot regarding death and horror too. God warned His people to stay as far away as possible from things related to Halloween that are also out there as well. In Deuteronomy 18 God instructs His people to not engage with the pagan religions.

The presence of the Holy Spirit in Christians has a positive impact on every area of our lives and the world. Jesus taught that we are the "salt of the earth" and the "light of the world." One way Christians can impact our world is to exercise their right to vote. Watch and listen as we see what Jesus has to say about our impact on the world and how we should live as citizens.

Life consists of one decision after another. Some are easy and make little impact, others can change our lives forever for better or worse. How do we make good decisions? We line up the lights in our lives for the straight path to the solution. Join us as we look at Romans 12:1-3 and Acts 2:1-4 to learn what those lights are.

We begin with a look at the times God called women to ministry in the Bible, sta...

With Christ's atoning work on the cross on our behalf, we now have an "escape hatch" to keep us from suffering eternal death. When we accept the work of Jesus Christ as the Messiah, done on our behalf, we pass from death to life. Paul calls the unregenerate man the Natural Man. When we accept Christ we become the Self-Guided Man. We are saved by the power of Jesus Christ but still respond to our f...

The only way for us to have fellowship with God and gain the promise of eternity in heaven is to be righteous. To be righteous means to be perfect; to commit no sin ever whatsoever. We cannot attain this righteousness on our own because of our sinful nature. In today's message, we explore god's righteous justification of our lives.

Something virtually everyone expects from anyone is that they live according to the code in which they profess to believe. This expectation is very true for unbelievers and the unchurched when they consider those who profess faith in Jesus Christ. while they may disagree with our faith , they expect us to live it. The Apostle Paul addresses this need for integrity in faith in chapter two of the Bo...

Faith that God is the Sovereign Lord and thus judge of mankind is one realization that helps us live a life worthy of Him. We do this because the punishment for defying His law is severe. However, some deny God and choose not to believe in Him. What is the result of having no faith in God? How might we Christians be guilty of this sin? Using Romans 1:18-32, Pastor Wes gives some insight into this...

The Apostle Paul in chapter 1 of the Books of Romans, gives us a three-point outline for living the life of faith. In learning to live a life of faith we must understand how to deal with faith, fact, and feelings. Listen as we begin a series on the Book of Romans.

This message was delivered by Reverend Ray Hayes, retired Maple Grove Baptist Church pastor in Louisville, KY. We all experience storms in life. Jesus is with us to see us through the storms. We can weather the storms by His strength. God also wants us to use His provision through the storms to testify to others of His goodness and love.

Hearing "I love you" is great and makes us feel great, but speaking the words without demonstrating that love soon falls flat. Jesus teaches us to show love in action to our friends and our enemies. Today we look at ways we can show love to others.

We humans have an innate sense of acting solemn when we are in the presence of some being greater than us. We call that action, being reverent. What is reverence? and how should it be expressed?

God has done immeasurably more for us than we can know. God worked magnificent miracles for the Hebrew people as He brought them out of the oppression of Egypt. He fed them as they wandered in the desert. He provided them with what to drink. He cared for their every need. All He wanted was for the Israelites to be devoted to Him. God was ready to pour out many more blessings but His people stifled...

An example from Nehemiah chapter on the power of teamwork. With carefully thought out assignments, the people, under Nehemiah's leadership, are able to complete the repair of the wall surrounding Jerusalem within 52 days.

Nehemiah was despondent over the condition of Jerusalem. When the king asked him what was wrong, chapter 2 of Nehemiah tells us, that Nehemiah said a quick prayer before he answered the king. Sometimes a quick prayer is all we have time for but Nehemiah had backed up that last-minute prayer with months of extended prayer before God. Prayer, and talking with God is one of the main ways we get our h...

Today's message uses Isaac Newton's Laws of Thermodynamics to establish the Three Laws of Faith. We also examine Jesus' teachings on little faith and great faith. Luke 17:1-10

Gideon had an impossible task before him, and God made it more impossible. Why? So His people the Israelites would learn anew that with God all things are possible and so their faith in God would be deepened. god wants us to trust Him in the impossible situations in our lives for the same reason so that our faith in Him would be deepened. The sermon text is Judges 7:1-8
