by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 6/11/2023) We continue today looking at fornication, the first member that we are told to “mortify,” or “murder.” Fornication is an uncomfortable topic to talk about, but it is SO necessary for God’s people to hear today! Join us as we continue to see the problem with fornication,...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 6/4/2023) We continue today looking at the sin of fornication. This sin is rampant today, and it has led many children of God to ruin. Join us as we continue looking at mortifying – or “murdering” – this sin of fornication. Download Audio File

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 6/4/2023) As we continue looking at the topic of “Mortifying Your Members,” we are at the point of looking at the things we need to “murder” in our lives. In today’s sermon, we begin looking at sins of the heart, or sins of desire. These “members” have to...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 5/7/2023) As we continue looking at the topic of “mortifying your members,” we learn that our focus should be on things above, and not things below. As we continue to grow in the Kingdom of God, and try to learn more and more about “Kingdom living”, we realize...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 5/7/2023) In his letter to the Colossian Church, the Apostle Paul begins in Chapter 3 to teach them about “Kingdom Living.” In order to live and prosper in the spiritual Kingdom of God (the church), we must “mortify” – or “murder” – some aspects of our natural lives....

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 5/21/2023) In the 69th Psalm, we read about a man who was hated without a cause. Who is this Man? Surely He has done SOMETHING to merit the hatred of so many? Join us today as we learn that the Lord Jesus Christ never did ANYTHING wrong in...

by Elder Tony Lester (preached on 7/30/2023) In this powerful sermon, Elder Tony Lester reminds us that even though Christ had the power in His voice to calm storms and destroy kingdoms, nonetheless He “opened not His mouth” before the authorities who were about to crucify Him. And why would He be willing to remain...

by Bro. McNeil Honea (preached on 4/30/2023) In today’s message, we conclude the sermon begun yesterday on examples from the Book of Philippians. Bro. McNeil Honea, who has been exercising a preaching gift for several years under the authority of Bethlehem Primitive Baptist Church, has shown us that Christ is the ultimate example. But we...

by Bro. McNeil Honea (preached on 4/30/2023) In this outstanding message, Bro. McNeil Honea, who has been exercising a gift under the authority of Bethlehem Primitive Baptist Church for several years, preaches to us about “examples” that we find in Paul’s letter to the Philippians. We need role models in our lives! Join us as...

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 7/23/2023) Have you ever thought about what it must have looked like as Jesus hung there on the cross? I’m sure the people standing around thought that Christ was quite a spectacle. But the REAL spectacle that day was not the Lord Jesus Christ hanging there, but rather...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 8/13/2023) Have you ever been overwhelmed by the storms of life? In Mark 6, we read of an account where the disciples were overwhelmed by an actual storm on the Sea of Galilee. They were not outside the will of God – in fact, Christ had “constrained them”...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 5/21/2023) In the last post, we began looking at Jesus’ statement from the cross, “It is finished.” We saw that many in the crowd believed that He indeed WAS finished, but in the sense that He was “done for”! This was NOT what Jesus meant, however; actually, He...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 5/21/2023) Often when we say that someone is “finished,” we mean that they are “done for” – i.e., they have lost the battle, and there’s nothing more they can do. But that is NOT the case with Jesus! His cry from the cross did NOT mean He was...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on 8/7/2022) Today, we conclude this portion of the Exposition of Revelation, dealing with the letters to the seven churches in Asia Minor. In this sermon, we learn more about lukewarmness, and that Rev. 3:20 is a discipleship verse and not an eternal salvation verse! Download Audio File

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on 8/7/2022) In the sermon today, Elder Buddy Abernathy begins to review what it means to be “lukewarm.” He reminds us that, of all times in history, we are living in a day when it is more of a risk than ever that we might become lukewarm! Download Audio File

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on 6/26/2022) As we continue looking at the “lukewarm” church (Laodicea), we are dealing with the concept of chastening. The chastening of God should be an encouragement to us, because it is a sign of sonship! Download Audio File

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on 6/26/2022) The sermon today continues our study of the Laodicean church, which was lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot. In Rev. 3:19, Christ begins speaking about chastening, and Bro. Buddy expounds upon this concept, showing us that we should be encouraged rather than discouraged when chastening occurs in our...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on 6/19/2022) We continue today to look at the letters to the seven churches in Revelation, specifically looking at the church at Laodicea. We are in the second half of the second sermon regarding this church, that was neither “hot” nor “cold,” but rather “lukewarm.” Hopefully, through this series, we...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on 6/19/2022) As we continue to look at the letter to the church at Laodicea, we see the problems within this church, and recognize that they can afflict us today! Elder Buddy Abernathy delves into what it means to be lukewarm, and continues to give us encouragement and admonition about...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on 6/5/2022) We continue today in the letter to the Laodicean church. This “lukewarm” church had lost its zeal for God, and its members were living like the world! Elder Buddy Abernathy teaches us what it means to be “lukewarm,” and how we can avoid it in our churches today!...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on 6/5/2022) In this message, we begin examining the Laodicean church. This church was “lukewarm,” which God hates. Bro. Buddy discusses what it means to be “lukewarm,” and how we can avoid it in our own churches. Join us as we begin our look at the letter to the church...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on 5/15/2022) As we conclude our look at the letter to the church at Philadelphia, we see that Christ encourages and admonishes this church to continue their service to God. This church had no real problems, and yet they still needed Christ in order to continue their work in the...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on 5/15/2022) In this sermon, we begin looking at the letter to the church at Philadelphia. It is notable that Christ levels no criticism against this church, but rather encourages them to “keep on keeping on.” May our churches be found in this condition as well! Download Audio File

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on 5/1/2022) As we wind down the lesson from the letter to the church at Sardis, we recognize that we have spent several sermons on this topic. But it is important to us today to know what it means for a church to have a reputation that it is “alive,”...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on 5/1/2022) As we wind down our study about the church at Sardis, we continue to see the problem with “deadness” in the church, and the remedy provided by the Lord. Join us as we begin the conclusion to the letter to the church at Sardis. Download Audio File
