Zion Primitive Baptist Church

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on June 9, 2024) In the passage before us today, the writer paints a vivid contrast between public worship under the Law and public worship in the church by comparing two mountains: Sinai and Sion. Sinai represents the Law, Sion represents grace. This is the “grand summation” of all...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on June 2, 2024) As we conclude this sermon on patience, which in Scripture simply means “keeping on keeping on,” we find that not only should we be encouraged by God’s chastening of us, but we also ought to be encouraged by His great love for us. That love...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on May 12, 2024) As we saw in the last message, we are running a “race of discipleship” while here on earth. Like most runners, there are times when we get tired and feel like quitting. To whom can we look when we feel the exhaustion of the world...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on April 21, 2024) As we began to see yesterday, our life of discipleship is like a race.

by Elder Kenneth Nowell (preached on July 3, 2024) In this sermon, Elder Kenneth Nowell preaches about investing in the Kingdom of God rather than in the things of this world.

by Elder Tim McCool (preached on June 23, 2024) Where is Judas?

Where is the “Judas” in your family,...

by Elder Luke Hagler (preached on June 30, 2024) As we began to see last time, every child of God has a testimony of some kind. The dear faithful saints of Scripture showed us examples of how we ought to live, so that our testimony would be as true and faithful as theirs. Join us...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on July 2, 2023) Since today is Independence Day, we want to re-post a sermon preached last year by Elder Chris McCool about revival in America.

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on As we began to see last time, Hannah was a faithful mother in Israel who trusted God to bless her and to protect her child, Samuel.

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on April 7, 2024) In the first half of this sermon, Elder John Morgan Owens began to teach us about the legal concept of “mediation.” While mediation is an essential part of modern legal practice, we see that there is no mediator among men to bring any case we...

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on April 7, 2024) In this “loose series” on legal concepts found in the Scripture, Elder John Morgan Owens takes us to the concept of “mediation.” In the modern legal world, mediation is an important aspect of settling any legal case that is brought in court.
