Zion Primitive Baptist Church

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on July 21, 2024) In the first half of this sermon, we learned the difference between exercising proper godly judgment and being self-righteously judgmental. The Jews were looking down on Gentiles, believing themselves to be more holy and righteous, and deserving of God’s favor. However, Paul tells them plainly...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on July 21, 2024) In Romans 2, we begin by looking at the difference between judgment and judgmentalism. There is no question that we are to exercise proper judgment in this life, but we are never to be judgmental in the exercise of that kind of discernment. Our judgment...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on July 7, 2024) As we conclude chapter 1 of Romans, we are examining the display of the depravity of man. The Apostle Paul shows us the underlying condition of depravity, along with the inward display of that depravity. He also examines the outward display of depravity – its...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on July 7, 2024) In this sermon, we move on toward the end of chapter 1 of Romans. In the first half, we review where we are at this point in our exposition of Romans, and remind ourselves that this book is truly a book of inspired systematic theology....

by Elder Chris McCool, pastor (preached on June 16, 2024) As we continue our exposition of Romans, we are in the process of learning about the depravity of man, which is the reason for the wrath of God. Today, we begin looking at how God’s wrath interacts with man’s depravity, and we see that it...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on June 16, 2024) As we dig further into chapter 1 of Romans, we are slowly being introduced to the concept of depravity. We have learned that God’s wrath is manifested against all ungodliness and unrighteousness, and today we begin to see that this ungodliness and unrighteousness is a...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on June 6, 2024) We continue today in Chapter 1 of the Book of Romans. As we began to see in the first half of this sermon, God’s wrath is real, and it is revealed to all the world “from heaven”. As we continue exploring this concept, we learn...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on June 9, 2024) In the verses under consideration today, we learn first that the wrath of God is “revealed from heaven”. While it is clear from Scripture that the spiritual message of the gospel is something that only a spiritual being can understand, the wrath of God is...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on June 2, 2024) As we move on into the first chapter of Romans, we are examining Paul’s own description of his ministry to the Roman church. After declaring his loving care for them, he began to speak of the burden he felt to preach the gospel to them....

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on June 2, 2024) As we continue our exposition of Romans, we are still looking at some preliminaries found in Chapter 1. In the verses today, we see Paul’s ministry to the Roman church. He had great love and care for them, which reminds us that dry theology is...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on May 19, 2024) Yesterday we began looking at the book of Romans, which is the only inspired systematic theology that exists in the world. We began to see that Paul, in his salutation to the saints at Rome, set forth first his credentials, and then his concern for...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on May 19, 2024) At Zion PBC, we have begun a series on the Book of Romans. Today’s sermon is the first half of the first sermon from this book, which has aptly been called the only INSPIRED systematic theology in the world! Truly this book contains one of...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on August 4, 2024) As we come to the conclusion of our series on the book of Hebrews, the writer reminds us of some blessings that we have in the church Kingdom. We have been looking at the spiritual leadership God has provided through His called ministry. We continue...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on August 4, 2024) As we reach the end of the Book of Hebrews, we are focusing on some spiritual blessings that we have in the church. We have discussed the blessing of spiritual fellowship, and today we consider the blessing of spiritual worship. God has given us pastors...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on July 21, 2024) As we began to see yesterday, chapter 13 takes us from “doctrine” to “duty”. In this last chapter of Hebrews, the writer reminds us of spiritual blessings that we have in the Church, and exhorts us to work to achieve those blessings. One of the...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on July 21, 2024) As we approach the end of our series on Hebrews, we come to the last chapter of the book. Up to this point, we have dealt primarily with doctrine; in chapter 13, we find many admonitions to duty. The primary thrust of this chapter is...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on July 28, 2024) In Primitive Baptist churches, you will often hear the terms “eternal,” “time”, or “gospel” salvation. In this powerful sermon, Elder Buddy Abernathy takes us through Scripture to show us what each of these concepts teaches. He focuses in particular upon “gospel salvation,” and the relief that...

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on July 14, 2024) In the first half of this message, we began to see the recurrence of the phrase “no man” in Scripture. What can we do when there is “no man” to help? The man laying at the Pool of Bethesda experienced this sense of helplessness; yet...

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on July 14, 2024) As Jesus came to the Pool of Bethesda, He found a certain man lying there with a decades-old affliction. When asked, the man responded, “Sir, I have no man” to help me into the pool. The phrase “no man” occurs several times in Scripture; join...

by Elder David Crawford (preached on May 6, 2012) Several years ago, we had Elder David Crawford come and preach for us here at Zion on a Sunday night. He preached a glorious message from Proverbs about “conies.” Conies are a “feeble folk”, we are told, but they wisely make their homes in the rocks...

by Elder Chase Harrison (preached on July 14, 2024) In the second half of this sermon, preached by Elder Chase Harrison recently at Zion Church, we learn that not only did God the Father give the Son a Kingdom, but that Christ then gave the Kingdom to us. What an amazing thought, that this spiritual...

by Elder Chase Harrison (preached on July 14, 2024) Recently we were blessed to have Elder Chase Harrison with us here at Zion Church. He preached a powerful message about the Kingdom of God. This Kingdom is not some future kingdom that is yet to be established, but rather was given to Christ by the...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on July 7, 2024) In the first half of this sermon, we were beginning to see that God “shook things up” when He sent Christ to the earth. The writer compares the “shaking” that occurred on earth at Sinai with the “shaking” that occurred of heaven and earth in...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on July 7, 2024) As we continue our study of the Book of Hebrews, we come to the end of the twelfth chapter and one of the last admonitions from the writer: refuse not Him that speaketh! The point here is that we should listen to God and obey...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on June 9, 2024) As we began to see yesterday, the contrast between the two mountains of Sinai and Sion is stark! Sinai represents the Law worship in Old Testament times; Sion represents grace worship in New Testaments days. Join us today for the conclusion of this sermon about...
