by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on October 23, 2024) Nehemiah faithfully followed God’s rebuilding program, rather than going off on his own.  He had the faith to follow God and do it His way, and we will see that he is going to be successful.  Join us as we continue looking at Nehemiah’s faithful approach to...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on October 23, 2024) When Nehemiah discovered that the walls of Jerusalem were in disrepair, he was greatly moved and determined to do something about it. But instead of going off on his own, he faithfully followed God’s rebuilding program.  Join us today as we continue seeing Nehemiah faithfully following...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/2/2024) As we have already seen, Nehemiah wanted desperately to help the people of God in the Kingdom of God in Jerusalem, and he had faith in God as he began to make plans. He had the faith to wait, the faith to focus, and the faith to...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on October 2, 2024) As Nehemiah mourned about the sad state of the children of God in Jerusalem, he prayed fervently and purposed to bring the matter before the king. But he had the faith to wait on the Lord’s time, and in that time the Lord blessed him...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached September 22, 2024) When he heard about the shameful state of the Kingdom of God in Jerusalem, Nehemiah was greatly affected. God’s people were in great reproach, because the walls of Jerusalem were broken down, and the gates were burned by fire. But instead of mourning about it but...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on September 18, 2024) In the Book of Nehemiah, we read about God’s rebuilding program for His Kingdom on earth. With the Lord’s blessings, we are starting a series today on this important book of the Old Testament. The first thing we see is the shameful state of the...

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on January 26, 2025) As we began to see yesterday, the Bible gives us many examples of those who came to “see Jesus.” Sometimes, we ourselves get to the point that we don’t see Jesus! When that happens, we need to seek Him again in the place where He...

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on January 26, 2025) In John’s gospel, we read of some Greeks who came to the disciples. They told them, “Sir, we would see Jesus.” This ought to be our constant desire: to see Jesus! Join us today as Elder John Morgan Owens points us to Christ and His...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on February 16, 2025) As we continue our study of the communion service, we come to the matter of “open” versus “close” communion. “Close” communion is the practice of restricting access to the Lord’s table to the members of the local church, as well as others of like faith...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on February 9, 2025) We have been studying the Scriptural foundations of the communion service, and we have seen the elements that we are to use, as well as the symbolism of this service. But how are we as individuals to approach this service? Some have refrained from the...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on February 9, 2025) The communion service ought to be a “high point” on the yearly calendar of the local church. We have been examining how we observe this service, and in particular what elements we use in this church ordinance. Last time we looked at the unleavened bread,...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on February 2, 2025) As we began to see yesterday, the communion service is vital to the life and spiritual health of the local church. We continue today looking at this service, which we commonly call “The Lord’s Supper”. Join us as we learn more about how we should...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on February 2, 2025) As we approach our 2025 Annual Meeting, when we will observe the communion service, we pause from our series on Romans to examine the Scriptural foundation for our practice of observing the communion service, commonly called the Lord’s Supper. Please join us as we try...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on March 6, 2024) In our series on the Book of Revelation, Elder Buddy Abernathy has been teaching from chapter 16 about the final judgment of God. The seven angels with the seven vials of judgment illustrate in symbolic fashion what will happen when the wrath of God is fully...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on March 6, 2024) As we began to see in the last sermon, the seven angels with the seven vials represent the final judgment of God upon the wicked, which will be poured out at the end of time. We looked at the first three vials last time, and began...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on February 21, 2024) In Chapter 16 of Revelation, we see the seven angels pouring out the seven vials of God’s judgment upon those who are not children of God. Elder Buddy Abernathy takes us through the first three vials in today’s sermon, and demonstrates from Scripture how the righteous...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on February 7, 2024) As we continue in Chapter 15, we see more of the seven angels with the seven vials full of plagues. Eld. Buddy Abernathy takes us through the details of this vision about the end of times. Join us today as he continues laying the groundwork for...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on January 3, 2024) The Book of Revelation is generally a summary of how God will judge the wicked, both in time and eternity, and thereby deliver God’s people. Chapter 15 gives us a scene in heaven of the seven angels with the seven last plagues. In the midst of...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on December 13, 2023) In the verses we examine today, we find imagery of the second coming of Christ and the final judgment of the wicked. This is the ultimate deliverance of children of God, and is one of the great promises of Scripture. Join us as Elder Buddy Abernathy...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on November 15, 2023) As we continue examining Revelation 14:13, we see clearly that the idea of our “works following us” does not mean that we work our way into heaven. Neither does it mean that we have greater rewards in heaven based on our conduct on earth! Rather, it...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on November 15, 2023) We continue today in Chapter 4 of Revelation, where we have been hearing about of the gospel being preached to the Gentiles. Verse 12 tells us about the “patience of the saints,” which teaches us that the truth of ultimate and final judgment of God upon...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on November 1, 2023) In today’s sermon, we continue looking at the angels who are preaching the gospel to the Gentiles. Part of the “good news” of the gospel is that, one day, wickedness will be judged by God. Join us as we continue our study in Revelation today. Download...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on October 4, 2023) In the first five verses of Revelation 14, we see a vision of God’s people among the Jews that are in heaven. These are represented by the 144,000 described in those verses. Today, we move on to the next few verses, which describe the gospel begin...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on September 20, 2023) As we saw yesterday, Revelation 14 gives us a little peek into what is going on in heaven. This should be encouraging to us, because at the same time we are being persecuted on earth, the saints of God who have died are rejoicing in heaven!...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on September 20, 2025) As we move on into the Book of Revelation, we have come to Chapter 14. In the first few verses, we have a view into heaven and of God’s elect children. There is a scene here where 144,000 worshipers are depicted as worshiping God together in...
