by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/23/22) Today’s message is the second half of a sermon about “gospel rest.” There is no doubt from Scripture that Christ paid the debt for every single one of His elect children; however, not all those children find the “rest” that they need so badly! Many try to...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/23/22) In this sermon, we see that there is only one way that a child of God can find any rest in this world: by believing the true gospel message! The true gospel tells us that Jesus Christ paid for our sins, and that we can rest in...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 10/16/22) Today we conclude a message begun yesterday, regarding the world as our enemy. The philosophies of this world are diametrically opposed to the Kingdom of God, and we need to be aware of them and resist them. In fact, God says “beware” of these philosophies, for they are...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 10/16/22) Last time, we saw that the devil is our primary enemy. We learned his tactics, and discovered biblical principles on how to resist him. Today, we begin looking at a second enemy: the world. The world is against us, and especially so since the devil is the prince...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 10/16/22) Yesterday we began to look at the wiles of the devil. Today, we continue examining how he attacks God’s children, and how they can resist him “in the faith.” Download Audio File

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 10/16/22) I don’t think anyone could argue that we are in a constant state of spiritual war! Our trinity of enemies – the world, the flesh, and the devil – are all against us, and out to destroy us. Today we begin to look at the primary enemy of...

by Elder Matt Sonstegard (preached on 3-18-22) In this sermon, also from our 2018 Annual Meeting, Elder Matt Sonstegard of Lindsay, California, preaches from Galatians 6 about the accomplishment and application of salvation. Christ accomplished our eternal salvation on the Cross, and He applies it to us in the new birth. Both glorious events are...

by Elder Matt Sonstegard (preached on 3-17-2018) During our 2018 Annual Meeting, Elder Matt Sonstegard, of Lindsay CA, preached to us about “prayer.” He used Nehemiah’s first prayer in chapter 1 of Nehemiah. We learned that prayer is the lifeline of the church, and we should be constantly seeking God’s blessings as we sojourn in...

by Elder Matt Sonstegard (preached on 3-17-2018) Today, we begin posting a series of three sermons by Elder Matt Sonstegard, pastor of Bethel Primitive Baptist Church of Lindsay, California, which were preached at our Annual Meeting in 2018. In this sermon, we hear about the assurance that we can have in the Kingdom of God....

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10-10-22) In the last post, we began looking at Moses and Christ, and were beginning to see how much better Christ is than Moses! Today, we continue looking at this idea of Christ as “better”, and ultimately see that because He is better, we are “His house” –...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10-10-22) One of the prevalent themes of the Book of Hebrews can be summed up in one word: “better.” Christ is better than the angels, the new covenant is better than the old, etc. In today’s message, the word “better” does not appear, but the sentiment certainly does!...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10-10-22) Yesterday we saw that the Kingdom of God is here and near to us; today we turn to the first two rules of this new spiritual Kingdom. In order to fully participate and prosper in the Kingdom of God on earth, we must repent and believe the...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10-10-22) When John and Jesus began to preach that the Kingdom of God is “at hand,” the Jews of the day were perplexed! They were expecting some kind of political kingdom, but the Kingdom that Jesus instituted was unlike anything they had ever dreamed about! This Kingdom would...
