by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on April 13, 2025) As we began to see yesterday, it is a common affliction to feel overwhelmed. David speaks plainly about the problem in Psalm 69. Elder John Morgan Owens has begun taking us through this Psalm and dealing with this issue. Join us today as we continue...

by Elder John Morgan Owen (preached on April 13, 2025) Have you ever felt overwhelmed? Do the troubles and stresses of life leave you feeling like you’re barely treading water, and your little vessel is about to be swamped? If so, you are in good company! David, the sweet Psalmist of Israel, had the same...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on May 11, 2025) As we began to see yesterday, the phrase “believeth in Him” does not set conditions on our eternal salvation; rather, it deals with our assurance here and now. Those who believe have great assurance that they are part of that “world” that God loved, and...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on May 11, 2025) As we bring our in-depth study of John 3:16 to a close, we turn our focus to the phrase “believeth in Him.” It is important to understand that belief is a present condition, not a future action. In fact, this entire verse is about assurance...

By Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on May 4, 2025) As we continue looking at John 3:16, we are examining the main words in this verse to determine what they mean. As it is often said, before you try to understand what a verse means you need to know what the verse says – the...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on May 4, 2025) As we continue in our exposition of John 3:16, we come to the word “whosoever.” Once again, the religious world generally misinterprets the significance of this word. Most of the time we hear that “whosoever” means that a dead alien sinner has the ability to...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on April 27, 2025) When we paused the message yesterday, we were examining what the word “world” really means. The religious world generally teaches that, everywhere you see the word “world” in Scripture, it means every person who ever has or ever will live. However, we were learning that...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on April 27, 2025) As we have seen in this series on “Rightly Dividing John 3:16,” the words matter! We’ve looked at the word “for,” which points us to Jesus’ declaration regarding the brass serpent in the wilderness. We’ve also looked at the word “loved,” which taught us that...

by Elder Chris McCool (preached on April 20, 2025) We began yesterday in a series entitled “Rightly Dividing John 3:16.” Many in the religious world mistake this verse as a regenerational verse, as opposed to an experiential verse. We have started our examination of John 3:16 by looking at the first word of the verse:...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on April 20, 2025) There is much confusion in the religious world about the meaning of John 3:16. Most denominational Christians believe it is a verse that sets forth conditions for a dead alien sinner to meet in order to become a child of God. In this series, however,...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on March 16, 2025) The work of the Kingdom of God is not something to be taken lightly! As we have been learning for the past couple of days, there is a certain urgency to the Kingdom. Jesus Himself spoke of that urgency as He surveyed the crowds and...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on March 16, 2025) As we began to see yesterday, there is a certain urgency to the work of the Kingdom of God! In Acts 2:42, we learn what that work is: continuing steadfastly in the Apostles’ doctrine, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer. Join us today as we...

by Elder Chris McCool, pastor (preached on March 16, 2025) As Christ looked across the crowd that had gathered before Him, He was moved with compassion and exclaimed, “The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest.”...

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on December 8, 2024) As we began to see yesterday, there are many valleys in life. Elder John Morgan Owens is taking us through the valleys of life, and we are learning what we find in these valleys. But always, in every valley of life, we find God is...

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on December 8, 2024) In this sermon by Elder John Morgan Owens, we look at what we find when in the valleys of life. In our earthly walk, we sometimes experience “mountaintops”; but more often we find ourselves down in the valleys. Join us as we begin to see...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on March 2, 2025) As we began to see yesterday, God has sweet and precious thoughts toward His elect children. How amazing it is that a God so great would look upon a people so low! Join us as we conclude the sermon today about God’s thoughts toward His...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on March 2, 2025) Have you ever considered how amazing it is that the great God of this universe, who is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent, nonetheless has precious thoughts toward His children? God sits high in the heavens, yet He stoops to look low among His elect people. Join...

by Elder Phillip Dukes (preached on March 30, 2025) In the first half of this powerful message from Elder Phillip Dukes, we began to see that there are some things in this world that change, and some that don’t. We paused the message at the point where we learned that the wicked will never change,...

by Elder Tom Corley (preached on March 23, 2025) In this message by Elder Tom Corley, we learn some sweet truths about Christ’s love from Peter’s actions while Jesus was here on earth.

by Elder Luke Hagler (preached on March 9, 2025) In this final sermon from our 2025 Annual Meeting, Elder Luke Hagler brings a message about the “super power” of charity. Charity is the most powerful thing that we have in our lives as Christians, and we ought to pursue it above all else! Join us...

by Elder Tim McCool (preached on March 8, 2025) In this short but powerful sermon from our 2025 Annual Meeting, Elder Tim McCool takes us to the scene where Jesus schools Nicodemus about the absolute necessity of His own death on the cross. He reminds Nicodemus about the brass serpent that was lifted up by...

by Elder Joe Nettles (preached on March 8, 2025) In this sermon from our 2025 Annual Meeting, Elder Joe Nettles preaches from Romans 11, about the judicial blinding that occurred when Jesus came but was rejected by His people the Jews. What does this mean? How does it affect us? And how should we act...

by Elder Tim McCool (preached on March 8, 2025) In Romans, we read that the Lord’s judgments are “unsearchable.” All faithful students of the Bible have heard this description of God, but what does this term really mean? Join us today as we learn more about the unsearchable nature of God. Download Audio File
