All Sermons: Fellowship

Do you have a relationship with God? Or only a religion? Some men walked with God. One was called His friend. One wrestled with Him for great blessings. One talked to Him face to face. One was the man after His own heart. A few men and women were personal friends of Jesus. He loved them specially, and they loved Him. God saved you to have thrilling fellowship with Him and His Son. If you seek correctly with your whole heart, God and Jesus will love you even more, reveal more of themselves to you, and stay with you forever in spirit (John 14:21-23).

Forgiven, Restored, Promoted

Twelve Facts for Christians (4)

Safety in life brings everything back to the Bible - all thoughts, ideas, choices, plans, events, etc. It should be taught daily to children. Your ideas can never be better. Period. Success in life before God and men is by fruit, not results, feelings, or words. Fruit is identified in the Bible. Abound in it.

Twelve Facts for Christians (3)

The sin Adam chose in Eden and we choose daily pervades all parts of life, and it should be identified to avoid misjudging things, persons, relationships. God is greater than man and can do what He wants with your life, like He did Job. We should never blame, complain, or even question Him. He is God.

Twelve Facts for Christians (2)

Victorious Christian Living (16)

Music is the powerful language of the soul. David played the harp to heal Saul's devil-afflicted soul. You do not have the right to any music. You must glorify God and use music that will lift your spirit toward heaven. Measure all music by its fruit in producers, performers, listeners, and churches using it.

Victorious Christian Living (15)

Recall seven reasons why God left us here. Average Christian is not VCL; most churches are not. How can you lose VCL? You can choose carnal, foolish, worldly friends. Or you can become too dependent on any relationship, so that you will compromise knowingly or not to keep the relationship.

Victorious Christian Living (8)

To be an overcomer, you must count the cost and give up things that compete with Christ. He taught the lesson to crowds that followed Him. You must walk in the Spirit for His power to resist temptations inside and out. Victorious living is the life of faith, so you must build your faith by preaching.


2/26/2023 AM
Victorious Christian Living (7)

To be an overcomer, you should look to the reward like Jesus did. You must guard your inputs vigilantly, you should be the most thankful person, you should pray for it, and you should look to the effect. Remember that your defeated Christian life or a joyful, winning one will affect all those around you.


2/19/2023 PM
Victorious Christian Living (6)

To be victorious you must believe that God forgives easily, quickly, and fully. Any ideas to the contrary are sinfully wrong and will defeat and discourage you. Look to Jesus as your example going before, see difficulties as opportunities like Job and Paul did, and get competitive to be the best in God's sight.


2/19/2023 AM
Victorious Christian Living (5)

A victorious Christian life is confident living, kingdom building, and intentional living. It is necessary to view each night and day, in that order, with the clear goal to obey Christ fully. Your greatest enemy is yourself, and you must force all feelings to follow faith, no matter how powerful they may seem to be.


2/12/2023 PM
Victorious Christian Living (4)

A victorious Christian is a growing one with fruit rather than funks. One of our greatest enemies is bad thinking. Your thoughts are not helpful to serve God better. Too many of them are foolish and sinful. You must hate any funks and not try to excuse them by ruling your thoughts to choose godliness.


2/12/2023 AM
Victorious Christian Living (3)

Key facts to remember for victorious living are why God left us here with a sinful flesh in a sinful world. There are seven broad reasons He did so, and they are quite helpful to live intentional lives for God's glory and His approval and rewards. His reasons are also our goals for living right.


2/5/2023 AM
Victorious Christian Living (2)

Love Not the World – Pyramid Slides

This simple graphic is a little tool to see all that is in the world we must not love. It is too easy to hate the bottom tier and forget our own lives at the top, which Jesus also said for us to hate. The tiers in between are the other things we must keep in their proper place to love God as He expects. The 3-minute video might help you further understand the graphic.

Soul Revival (5 sermons)

Character without Christ (3) Slides

7/11/2021 PM
Character without Christ (2) Slides

Character or conduct valued by men is not enough, even if Biblical. We must love Jesus the Son of God or we can expect His judgment like Israel received in 70 A.D. What can you do with your family to know and love Jesus most of all?


7/11/2021 AM
Character without Christ (1) Slides

What Do You Glory In?

The Most Influential Member

Your tongue is far more powerful than you think! Men rise and fall in the sight of Jehovah, by their careful and diligent management of it. Godly men know the Christian walk is successfully navigated by directing their speech, rather than their feet. Have you mastered this unruly evil?


10/25/2020 AM
Cleave Unto the Lord

Persecution drove the gospel north to Antioch of Syria. Barnabas came to see the Gentile converts and exhort them to cleave to Christ. He knew the threats to their zeal, which are similar to our own. Let us run to Christ and never let go.

Folly, Truth, and Glory of Baptism

Baptism according to the Bible is a wonderful event full of meaning and value, but it has been terribly corrupted by many heresies. The true followers of Jesus Christ keep God’s commandments just as given – they will not alter baptism at all from the example and instruction of the New Testament. We are Baptists because we believe the Bible, and we will exalt and defend it. Get excited about Bible baptism!

Abaddon & Apollyon Slides

Jesus destroyed the works of the Devil legally on the cross and vitally by regeneration. But a very real personal and practical war continues. He is a murderous liar. He is a roaring lion seeking to devour you. He will lie about sin, hiding from you the horrible end results.
