Zion Primitive Baptist Church

by Elder Tom Corley (preached on 5/28/2023) In many pulpits, we hear that one day we will have to stand before the judgment seat and account for every sin we have committed, and that our eternal destiny depends on whether we have done more good works than bad works. But is that really true? Praise...

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 6/11/2023) In the first part of this sermon, we began to see how God was merciful to Israel, even in the midst of their sin. As we read further into this chapter, we find out just how great his mercy is, and how that there is no other...

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 6/11/2023) Even while Israel is in the midst of sin, God comes and “interrupts” the sin and brokenness, and redeems His people! And this passage makes it clear that there is no other Redeemer than God, and because of that fact we are able to live without fear....

by Elder Michael Gowens (preached on 5/7/2023) In this conclusion to the message begun yesterday, we see that the enemy is not flesh and blood, but spiritual wickedness in high places. We are encouraged not to give up in the fight, but to avail ourselves of all the assistance given by God in this warfare...

by Elder Michael Gowens (preached on 5/7/2023) In this sermon, Elder Michael Gowens of Bethel Primitive Baptist Church in Calabash, North Carolina, reminds us that wrestling is a very personal, very difficult task, and that our opponent is none other than the devil himself!

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 2/15/2023) Today, we conclude our study of the Book of Job. You may recall that James sums up the case of Job as follows: “Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 2/15/2023) As we come to the end of God’s response to Job and his friends, we see the latter end of Job. Although he has lost everything in his life, he never lost the love and favor of God! God suffered these trials to come upon him for...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 2/1/2023) Today we conclude our look at God’s response to Job. In the last podcast episode, we examined the Behemoth, which was the greatest of God’s created land animals. Today, we look at the Leviathan, which was the greatest of God’ created water creatures. Both of these creatures...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 2/1/23) In today’s message, we begin looking first at Job’s initial response, which is basically to close his mouth! Then we take a look at one of the pinnacles of God’s creation: the Behemoth. God uses the Behemoth and the Leviathan to display more of His own majesty...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 1/25/2023) In today’s message, we continue looking at how God takes care of His Creation. His providential care for the universe displays His majesty and glory, and God points Job and His friends to this fact! Once again, our God is so great that He is the answer...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 1/11/2023) God has appeared to Job, and is in the process of reminding him and his miserable comforters that He indeed is God, and they are not! We are seeing that God is so great that Job cannot even answer one of His questions. Join us as we...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 01/11/2023) As we continue looking at Job 38, we are learning that God is the answer to every question that Job and his friends had. My friends, that is still the case today! Join us as we continue looking at God’s entry on the scene, where He sets...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/7/2022) One of the biggest problems in my life is that I often forget that He is God, and I am not! That one basic fact of life ought to inform every aspect of our daily living. In Job’s case, God has now come on the scene and...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/7/2022) Many times, as we face the trials of life, we begin to seek for answers. But for the child of God, the answer to EVERY question he has is “God!” God is what we need in every situation. Here, God has come on the scene to speak,...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 11/16/2022) We now come to the end of Elihu’s attack upon Job, and we find that he indeed is correct: God is a GREAT God! But Elihu still doesn’t understand all that he thinks he understands about God. God Himself is about to come upon the scene, and...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 11/16/2022) As we come to the last part of Elihu’s response to Job, we see him affirm that God is indeed a great God! In fact, He is the great God of the universe, and He is good and He is righteous. Join us as we begin to...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/19/2022) We began last time to look at the portion of Elihu’s response that posits that God is a good God. Job had leveled the complaint against God that it does not benefit a person to serve Him; Elihu disputes this, and he is absolutely correct! God is...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/5/2022) Elihu is Job’s fourth friend, younger than the rest, and he finally speaks up and begins to share his “wisdom” with Job as well. But Elihu got many things wrong as well, especially in the way he applied this wisdom. In the sermon today, we begin to...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/5/2022) As we continue looking at Elihu’s response to Job, we see his answer to Job’s allegation that God is somehow unjust. Job has basically said that there is no profit to serving God, because God does not reward those who serve him in the proper way. Elihu...
