Zion Primitive Baptist Church

by Elder Kenneth Nowell (preached on 2/25/2024) When it comes to our discipleship, do other people see God in Us? In order for them to see Him in us, we must be living godly lives! Join us today as we hear from Elder Kenneth Nowell about living in such a way that other people will...

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 2/25/2024) We began yesterday looking at “me-ology” versus theology. As we learned yesterday, “me-ology” is not a real word, but is a convenient way to refer to the worship of oneself. We learned how this self-worship began in the Garden of Eden with the Fall of Adam, and...

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 2/25/2024) In the modern culture, “me-ology” is the prevailing religion, as opposed to theology! Theology is the study and worship of God, whereas “me-ology” is a made-up word referring to the study and worship of self. This is not a modern problem, however; men have been worshiping themselves...

As we conclude this sermon today, we continue looking at the struggle within every regenerated child of God. The flesh lusts against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh. Paul tells us elsewhere that the flesh is “contrary” to the spirit, and works against it constantly. Join us for the conclusion of this message,...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on 1/7/2024) Do you ever find yourself in the condition described by Paul in Romans 7, that “when I would do good, evil is present with me”? In this sermon, Elder Buddy Abernathy takes us deep into the understanding that our carnal man, which is still present within us, is...

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 1/14/2024) In a previous message, Elder John Morgan Owens preached to us about biblical manhood. He told us primarily what a man DOES according to Scripture. Today, he moves deeper into the subject, and teaches us HOW a man should do those things that God requires. Join us...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/3/2024) As we conclude the sermon begun yesterday, we continue to see the similarities between the Trumpet of the Jubilee year, and the gospel message. The Jubilee year was the year that all captives were freed, and the trumpet proclaimed that liberty. The gospel trumpet declares liberty to...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/3/2023) In the Book of Leviticus, chapter 25, God tells the children of Israel to number seven sabbaths of years, after which – in the fifitieth year – they were to proclaim a year of “Jubilee.” In this Jubilee year, all property became unencumbered, and all captives were...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 6/25/2023) As we began to see yesterday, Peter denied Christ three times and ultimately wept bitter tears over his sin. But there were some reasons Peter got into this position in the first place. Instead of walking close by Jesus’ side, he began to separate himself from Christ...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 6/25/2023) We are all familiar with the account of Peter and his three-time denial of Christ. But what about in our own lives? Is it not true that we deny Him daily, maybe not explicitly and verbally, but implicitly in our actions? Join us today as we begin...

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 1/28/2024) As we continue looking at the topic of “burdens,” we go to the account of Jesus in the home of Martha and Mary in Luke chapter 10. Here we see Martha “cumbered about much serving,” while Mary sat at Jesus’ feet and listened raptly to His words....

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 1/28/2024) As we began to see yesterday, there are many burdens in life. The most onerous burden of all is the burden of sin, which Jesus Christ Himself has borne on our behalf. But there are other burdens that we too often place upon ourselves in this walk...

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 1/28/2024) In this life, we bear many burdens, don’t we? The burdens of life so often overwhelm us. But there’s one burden we should never try to shoulder ourselves: the burden of sin! Our sins have been put away as far as the east is from the west,...

by Elder Kenneth Nowell (preached on 1/21/2024) In this sermon, Elder Kenneth Nowell reminds us that God is a very present help. He has not only saved us eternally, but He also daily watches over us. When trouble comes, He is present and able to help us, and to strengthen us for the battle! Join...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 2/11/2024) As we began to see yesterday, our hearts will deceive us, and so we must guard them diligently! Unfortunately, King David did not do that, and he fell into a grievous sin with Bathsheba. As we conclude the sermon today, we find that there were ways David...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 2/11/2024) In every age of time, there has been a prophet or preacher who has been charged by God to be the “watchman on the wall.” It is his job to warn God’s people of the enemy’s approach; the sermon today is shared in the nature of the...

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 11/12/2023) Yesterday we began to see that our focus should be on the Lord, and not on the “stuff” of our lives. As we conclude the message today, Elder John Morgan Owens teaches us from Scripture how to re-focus on the Lord and His Kingdom. Download Audio File

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 11/12/2023) In the book of Haggai, God (through the prophet) asks the children of Israel to consider their ways. They had begun the work of rebuilding the Temple, but then quit due to persecution. The work then stopped for many years, while they focused on their own houses...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/15/2023) In the message today, we conclude the thoughts we began yesterday about the great hope we have in Christ. You see, our experience in this present life is not all that there is to life for the child of God. And aren’t we glad that is the...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/15/2023) In early October 2023, we lost a precious church member to an unexpected death. On the following Sunday, the Lord led us to a passage in 2 Corinthians that emphasizes our eternal hope in Christ. What a help it is to us to know that Christ died...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 1/21/2024) As we continue in our series on Baptism, we have begun to learn that infant baptism is not proper baptism. Pastor Chris McCool has already gone through the historical evidence regarding infant baptism, and continues today in looking at the Scripture itself for proof that infant baptism...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 1/21/2024) Throughout the centuries, Baptists have generally refused to accept infant baptism as valid baptism. We as Primitive Baptists certainly hold to this position! But why is it that we do not practice infant baptism? Join us today as Pastor Chris McCool delves into this issue, and we...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 1/7/2024) In today’s sermon, we are posting the conclusion of a message preached recently on the proper mode of baptism, and the proper candidates for baptism. We have begun to see that the word “baptism” itself means “to immerse,” and that further Scriptural evidence points to immersion as...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 1/7/2024) In today’s message, Elder Chris McCool continues looking at the topic of baptism as taught in Scripture. We have already seen that there is a “salvation” in baptism, albeit not eternal; today we look at the method by which we are to baptize. We as Old Baptists...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/31/2023) In the second half of this sermon, Elder Chris McCool continues to teach us from Scripture that there is indeed a salvation in baptism. However, this salvation is NOT eternal salvation! Join us as we continue looking at the ways in which baptism saves us in this...
