by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/17/2021) After Eliphaz’s tirade, Job dares to answer him. His primary response is an appeal to his friends first for mercy, and then an appeal to the vanity of life. He ultimately concludes that he would not want to live forever in a life that is as miserable...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/17/2021) As we continue looking at Eliphaz the Temanite’s first argument against Job, we see that his experiences and observations don’t always pan out. What a lesson for us! We should never let what we see by our earthly vision cloud our spiritual sense as we live and...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/17/2021) We come now to the first argument made by one of Job’s friends. Eliphaz the Temanite basis his argument on his own experience and his own observations, two very faulty grounds for any argument! Rather than trusting God and understanding His true nature, Eliphaz begins to rebuke...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/10/2021) We began looking yesterday at the “miserable comforters” who were supposedly Job’s friends. We continue today looking at the mistaken suppositions that they had, and the ways in which their attempts to comfort failed. Download Audio File

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/10/2021) Today, we begin looking at Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar, who are Job’s “friends” that brought him only more pain and suffering. The lesson of these miserable comforters is that sometimes the best comfort is to simply “be there,” and be silent. Join us as we begin looking...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/26/2021) In today’s message, we finish up a sermon on the sorrow that Job experienced. No doubt his grief was great, and clearly it overwhelmed him. But we learn that in the midst of grief and sorrow, God is still with us even when we cannot see Him....

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/19/2021) As we continue exploring the issue of suffering, we are learning that God often gets blamed for things He hasn’t done! The common belief in the world is that God is orchestrating all the problems of life somehow for our benefit. But is that really true? Join...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/19/2021) Today, we deal with the question of “suffering.” What about suffering? Where does it come from? Does God send it, or is there another source? Join us today as we deal with this basic question of life. Download Audio File

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/5/23) Today, we move into the heart of the problems that Job faces. The genesis of his suffering is the assault of Satan upon his life. Remember, Satan – by his own testimony – had been trying to get at Job, but God had a hedge around him....

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/5/2021) We continue today looking into the book of Job, as we are introduced to the characters of his story.

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/5/2021) As we move into the heart of the book of Job, we are introduced to the characters in his story. Job himself is an honest and upright man, who nonetheless suffers from some pride. God is introduced to us as the great “Keeper of the Hedge,” whereas...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/1/2021) The Book of Job is the oldest written book of the Bible. According to historians, it was written even before Moses penned the Book of Genesis! And Job deals with the hard issues of life: suffering, the role of God, the role of Satan. As we begin...

by Elder Philip Dukes (preached on 4/30/2023) In John 5:39, Jesus tells the Pharisees that the Scriptures “testify of Me.” The Scriptures He was referring to were the Old Testament, of course, and Jesus was affirming that the entire canon of OT Law, Prophets, and Psalms were written to point us to Himself. Join us...

by Elder Chris Taylor (preached on 4/29/2015) In this message from back in 2015, Elder Chris Taylor, pastor of Antioch Primitive Baptist Church in Vero Beach, Florida, brings a powerful message from the life of Moses about facing impossible tasks.

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 4/23/2023) In the first part of this message, Elder Owens takes us to Psalm 42 and begins to deal with the issue of “discouragement.” Many of us get discouraged too easily in this world. The reason we become “cast down” in soul is that we forget the great...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 4/9/2023) On the Road to Emmaeus, two disciples were doubting and downcast. When Jesus appeared to them, they did not recognize Him because He did not want to be recognized, but He began to teach them about the resurrection. He asked a question: “Ought not Christ to have...
