Zion Primitive Baptist Church

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on December 7, 2025) In the chapters leading up to this final chapter of Nehemiah, we have seen how the fervor of revival overtook the Jews that had returned to Jerusalem. Not only did they rededicate themselves to the Law and the work of the Temple, but they promised...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on November 23, 2025) As we saw yesterday, when Nehemiah returned for a brief time to Persia, the people he was leading in Jerusalem began to slip back into compromising positions with the world. In fact, they began to let the world and worldly things creep into their worship...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on November 23, 2025) As we get back to our exposition of the Book of Nehemiah, we are at a point where Nehemiah had returned to Persia for a short time. During his absence, the people of Jerusalem apparently lost their fervor of revival and began to slip back...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on December 21, 2025) As we began to see yesterday, most people were mistaken when it came to the first coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. We saw yesterday that the fact of His coming and the timing of His coming should have been clear to the Jews of...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on December 21, 2025) The first coming of Christ took most people by surprise. Even those who were learned in the Old Testament scriptures misinterpreted most of the prophecies, and expected someone far different than the Savior that came. In this sermon, we see that there were some things...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on December 22, 2013) In the first half of this sermon, which was preached back in 2013 around Christmastime, we learned a little bit about Joseph, the earthly stepfather of Jesus. We saw that he was an humble man, and even though he had a kingly pedigree he was...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on December 22, 2013) In our sermon today, we learn about the life of Joseph, the earthly stepfather of Christ. We learn that he was a humble man with a humble background. Jesus was not born into the family of a king, or a prophet, or a priest; rather,...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on April 5, 2015) In the first half of this powerful sermon from 2015, Elder Buddy Abernathy demonstrated to us that our nation was founded upon Christian principles. However, it is clear that it has drifted far away from the foundation upon which it was built. And so Bro. Buddy...

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on April 5, 2015) In this powerful sermon from 2015, Elder Buddy Abernathy deals with the Biblical question, “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” This nation was founded upon Christian principles, but it seems that we have moved farther and farther away from that foundation today....

by Elder Chris Taylor (preached on June 29, 2014) Back in 2014, Elder Chris Taylor of Vero Beach, Florida, joined us at Zion Primitive Baptist Church for a fifth Sunday service.

He took us over to chapter six of Luke, and brought us a powerful message from one of Jesus’ first public sermons. In particular,...

by Elder Tim McCool (preached on May 18, 2014) Today’s sermon is the second half of a powerful sermon preached many years ago at Zion Church by Elder Tim McCool, Pastor of Bethlehem Primitive Baptist Church in Echola, Alabama. We were looking at the idea of seeking some things, setting some things before our eyes,...

by Elder Tim McCool (preached on May 18, 2014) Over the years, we have been blessed at Zion Church with visiting preachers who are gifted and sound. We have been posting some of these older sermons lately, and today we are sharing a message preached back in 2014 by Elder Tim McCool, Pastor of Bethlehem...

by Elder Sam Bryant (preached on April 14, 2013) Back several years ago, Elder Sam Bryant visited with us here at Zion Church and preached a powerful sermon about acquainting ourselves with God. In the first half of this sermon, which we posted yesterday, Bro. Sam began to teach us from Scripture how those who...

by Elder Sam Bryant (preached on April 14, 2013) Over the years, we have enjoyed sweet fellowship with Elder Sam Bryant here at Zion Church. In 2013, Bro. Sam came to be with us one Sunday night, and preached a powerful sermon from the Book of Job, entitled “Acquaint Thyself With Him.” In today’s sermon,...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on November 23, 2025) There are many things we ought to be thankful for, as we learn in Psalm 100. In the first half of this sermon, we began to look at some of those things, including the fact that we are God’s children and will eventually be with...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on November 23, 2025) In the season of Thanksgiving, the Lord led us to the 100th Psalm, which is the Psalm we often go to on the topic of “thanksgiving.” We see many things in this psalm that we should be thankful for, especially the fact that we are...

by Elder Ricky Harcrow (preached on November 30, 2025) On a recent fifth Sunday evening, we were blessed to have Elder Ricky Harcrow of Ider, Alabama, visiting with us. He preached a powerful message from Romans chapter 8, which focused on the fact that God saved us when we were yet sinners, and even enemies...

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on November 9, 2025) In this sermon, preached recently by Elder John Morgan Owens, we read about Christ sending His disciples to find the colt that He would ride into Jerusalem before His crucifixion. What an example of humility, that Christ would lay aside His glory and ride upon...

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on November 9, 2025) What does the Lord require of us as His children? Yesterday, we began to see that He requires us to walk with Him humbly and to do right and love mercy. In the second half of this sermon, Elder John Morgan Owens continues to show...

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on November 9, 2025) In Micah 6:8, we find the familiar instruction about what God requires of us: to “do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with thy God.” This does NOT teach that we have to “earn” God’s love in our daily walk, but rather that we ought...

by Elder James Allen (preached on November 16, 2025) We recently had the great pleasure of having Elder James Allen of Florida to visit with us here at Zion on a Sunday evening service. Bro. James was blessed to preach an outstanding and convicting sermon about how we as children of God are required to...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on October 19, 2025) Yesterday we began to see that the people of Nehemiah’s day committed not only themselves to God, but also their praise to Him. God had blessed them so greatly that they could not contain their joy in the Kingdom! Today, we finish up looking at...
