by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 2/8/2015) In this message from 2015, Pastor Chris McCool continues dealing with what the word of God says about same-sex “marriage”. Many of God’s children today have gotten mixed up on the truth about marriage; why is that? It’s actually very simple: they are ignorant of what the...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 2/8/2015) God told Hosea the prophet, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” Notice that this is written to God’s people, NOT the unregenerate reprobate! There were many of God’s children in Hosea’s day who were destroying their lives here on earth because they did not know...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on 9/6/2015) Have you ever wondered what the “conclusion of the whole matter is”? Solomon sought out all the pleasures of the world – the lusts of the flesh, and the lusts of the eyes, and the pride of life – and he came to one final conclusion: Fear God!...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 7/31/2016) In the last message, Pastor McCool began to demonstrate through the folly of Samson how sin will blind us, bind us, and ultimately grind us to powder! There is certainly pleasure in sin for season, but the end of the road is death and destruction. Join us...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 7/31/2016) In this message, Pastor Chris McCool teaches us about the dire consequences of sin in our lives. In the case of Samson, we find that this young man – who initially carried such promise for the Kingdom of God! – ultimately squandered his potential on sinful pursuits....

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/4/22) In our most recent post, we began to look at the Parable of the Sower and the Seed. We were beginning to see that every category in the Parable represents children of God – the only difference are the circumstances in which they hear the gospel. Join...

by Elder Chris McCool (preached on 12/4/22) Most theologians in the religious world interpret the Parable of the Sower and the Seed in a way that they determine only one category – the good ground – represents children of God. But when we rightly divide this passage, we will come to the conclusion that ALL...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/25/2022) At this time of the year, we seem to see “nativity scenes” set up everywhere, reminding us that the Jesus was born in Bethlehem some 2000 years ago. But have you ever wondered why there had to be a manger in Bethlehem at that particular time, with...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12-21-22) In the last post, we were beginning to look at the life of Joseph, the earthly step-father of Jesus. We saw some of his characteristics, and today we continue looking at his life. We will see that faithfulness was the hallmark of his life, and hopefully we...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/21/22) As we all know, Joseph was the earthly step-father of Jesus. Sometimes, like other Bible characters, we tend to “gloss over” the fact that they were REAL people! Join us today as we look at several characteristics of Joseph, and see that he was faithful in the...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/18/22) Today we conclude the message begun yesterday regarding Mary’s status as “highly favored.” While this exalted status was a great blessing to her, it also meant great hardships throughout her life. Ultimately, she was – and we will be – vindicated by the resurrection of Christ! Join...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 12/18/22) When the angel Gabriel came to Mary to announce the advent of the Christ child, he hailed her as “highly favored.” While this was a high honor, we often gloss over the realities of what it means to be “highly favored.” In this message, we look at the...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/18/22) Yesterday, we began to look at the helmet of salvation. This item of spiritual armor protects our minds from getting lost in the “fog of war,” the uncertainty that inheres to the spiritual battle of life. Join us today as we conclude this look at the “helmet...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 12/18/22) The term “fog of war” refers to the uncertainty that is inherent in the midst of any battle. The helmet of salvation is given to us to keep our minds focused on the right thing in the midst of the spiritual battles of life! Join us today and...

by Elder Chris McCool (preached on 12/11/22) In the last post, we heard the first half of this sermon about the difference between work and worship. Today, we conclude this message by understanding that, although the Kingdom of God indeed requires work, the most needful thing for us is to sit at Jesus’ feet and...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/11/22) In the verses under consideration today, we read about the visit of Jesus to the home of Martha and Mary. These two were sisters, and they were hosting the Savior, but they reacted to His presence in vastly different ways. Martha was a worker, and she was...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/11/22) In the last message, we were beginning to look at the shield of faith provided to us as part of our spiritual armor. We continue looking at this shield today, and will see that it is necessary and sufficient to extinguish ALL the fiery darts of the...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/11/22) In the spiritual armor given to us as explained in Ephesians 6, the shield of faith is listed as being essential to deflect the long-range attacks of the enemy. We are told that this shield can extinguish ALL the fiery darts of Satan! Join us as we...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached 12/4/22) Today we continue looking at the Book in the hand of God as seen in Revelation 5. We will find that no man was worthy to take it, but Christ the Lamb of God was worthy! Join us as we continue looking at this Book and what it means....

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on 12/4/22) As we continue in the Book of Revelation, we see in Chapter 5 another vision of the throne room of God. In this vision, however, there is a book in the hand of God that no man is worthy to open. As John continues to observe the scene,...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on 11/6/22) Today, we conclude our look at Revelation 4, which gives us a view of the throne room of God. This throne room is the centerpiece of heaven, and will be the primary focus of our worship throughout eternity. Join us as Elder Buddy Abernathy shares with us some...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on 11/6/22) In this message, Elder Abernathy continues his exposition of the book of Revelation by taking us to the throne room of Heaven in Chapter 4. Much of the language is symbolic, but the gist of it all is that God and His throne are the center of EVERYTHING...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 11/27/22) Today, we continue looking at Jesus as our “better” High Priest. The earthly priests had certain requirements, all of which Christ met and exceeded. And He was NOT a priest after the Levitical order, but after the order of Melchizedek. Join us as we begin to see...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 11/27/22) As we continue looking at the book of Hebrews, we come to chapter five, which begins the “heart” of the letter. From about this chapter through chapter ten, we deal with the theme of Jesus Christ as our “Great High Priest.” Today, we begin to see how...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 11/21/22) Yesterday we began to look at the boots of the gospel. Today we conclude this message, learning that it is essential to have the RIGHT gospel! Otherwise, you are apt to be overrun by the enemy, or to desert the battle. Download Audio File
