Zion Primitive Baptist Church

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 9/10/2023) The prevalent teaching in the religious world is that everyone has a kernel of faith, which they can exercise in some way to become a child of God. But what does the Bible say about this? In fact, the Bible teaches us that there are some who...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/24/2023) In Luke 2:11, we find nineteen words: “for unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” These nineteen words contain a message of great hope! Join us today as we look at the message given by the...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/17/2023) As we continue looking at the fact that Christ’s birth came at the exact right time in history, we see that both the time and place had been prophesied. His first coming should not have been a surprise to the Jews of that day! Join us as...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/17/2023) In Galatians, Paul says that God sent Christ into the world in the “fullness of the time.” The idea here is that Christ’s first advent was at the perfect time that had been set by God, and fulfilled the time period leading up to this event. Join...

by Elder Tim McCool (preached on 10/29/2023) Many theologians in the world believe that God has preordained everything that happens. But is that Scriptural? Elder Tim McCool takes us to an episode in the life of David which demonstrates to us that there are many possible choices we can make in this world. But indeed,...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/3/2023) As we continue today on the topic of employer-employee relations, we learn that in every aspect of our life, the Lord should reign! The principles of authority and submission permeate the Bible, and give us guidance into the basic relationships of life. Join us as we continue...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/3/2023) In this message, we learn from the Book of Colossians that the principles of the Kingdom of God apply even to the master-servant, or employer-employee, relationship. There is NO aspect of our lives that is not covered by Scriptural mandate! Join us as we learn Who our...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 11/26/2023) In the last post, we began looking at the reasons we ought to get the message of the gospel right. It matters to God whether we preach about Him correctly: He is God, and beside Him there is no other! But it also matters to us, because...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 11/26/2023) In the Galatian letter, Paul tells the Galatians that the message matters! In fact, he says that anyone who preaches “another gospel” (which really is NOT really a “gospel”, or “good news”) should be accursed! So why does the message matter? And what is the message of...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/3/2023) Most of the religious world teaches that, in order to go to heaven, a person must hear and believe the gospel. But is this what the Bible teaches? Actually, the answer is “no,” the Bible does not teach that! Join us today as we continuing answering the...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/3/2023) In Romans 3:3, the question is asked, “What if some did not believe?” The answer to this question separates most in the religious world from those of us who are Primitive Baptists. All Arminians, and most Calvinists, teach that a sinner must hear and believe the gospel...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 5/28/23) Yesterday, we began to look at the topic of being “dead” in sins. We have seen that “dead” means “dead,” not “a little bit alive”! In fact, being dead means that there is no movement, no desire, no thought, and no activity whatsoever in the realm to...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 5/28/2023) In Ephesians 2:1, we read that we are “dead” in trespasses and in sins. What does this mean for us? How does this affect us? What is the remedy for this condition? Join us today as we begin to look at what it means to be “dead”...

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 10/29/2023) In the last post, we began looking at situations where people in the Scripture had nothing left within themselves. They faced desperate circumstances, with apparently no hope for deliverance – and yet, God delivered them! You see, when we come to the end of ourselves, we have...

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 10/29/2023) Have you ever felt like you just had nothing left? Facing desperate circumstances, have you despaired even of life? There are many characters in Scripture who faced situations like this, where they had come to the end of themselves. But God was always there to fill them...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 5/19/2019) As we continue answering the question, “What do Primitive Baptists believe?”, we continue examining what we do NOT believe. Ultimately, we see that we are neither Calvinists nor Arminians, but believers in the simple message that God chose His people before the foundation of the world, that...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 5/19/2019) Have you ever been asked, “What do Primitive Baptists Believe?” In the message today, which is the first half of a sermon preached by Elder Chris McCool back in 2019, we begin answering this question by looking at what Primitive Baptist do NOT believe. Join us as...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 11/26/2023) Parenting is a fulfilling but difficult job. It is easy to neglect our responsibilities as parents, or even to go about it in an unbiblical way. But when we establish biblical goals, and employ biblical methods, we will have a much better chance to raise godly children...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 11/26/2023) As we approach the end of our series on marriage and the family, we are looking at the role of parents. Parenting is a fulfilling job, but it is not an easy job! It is easy to provoke our children to wrath if we aren’t careful; but...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 11/12/2023) Parenting is one of the most important tasks we ever perform. It is imperative that we know what the Bible says about how to “train up” our children! Today, we continue looking at proper biblical goals in parenting, as well as proper biblical methods to employ in...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 11/12/2023) As we continue looking at the responsibilities of parents, we are seeing that proper goals must be set if childrearing is to be successful. And these goals must be BIBLICAL goals, not worldly goals! Success must be judged by Scripture, not by worldly standards. Also, we must...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 11/5/2023) We continue today looking at parents and their responsibilities in the family. Parenting can be a daunting task, especially when done apart from the biblical pattern. We continue looking at proper goals that should be set in parenting, as well as biblical instruction on priorities in child-rearing....

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 11/05/2023) As we approach the end of our study on the family, we come to the all-important topic of parenting. What is the parent’s role in the family? How should parents interact with their children? What kind of parenting philosophy should they adopt? Join us as we examine...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/22/2023) In the last post, we began looking at the responsibilities of children within the context of the family. We saw that children – particularly younger children who are still living at home – have a duty to “obey” their parents in all things. Today, we turn to...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/22/2023) As we continue looking at God’s pattern for the family, we have come to the responsibilities of the children in the context of the home. Children are to obey and honor their parents according to Scripture. We begin today by examining the requirement of “obedience,” which particularly...
