by Elder Lonnie Mozingo, Jr. (preached on 1/29/2023) In this powerful message, Elder Lonnie Mozingo, Jr., reminds us why Jesus Christ came into the world.

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/10/2017) As we bring this series on the early life of David to a conclusion, we find ourselves saddened by the misery of sin that King Saul experienced at the end of his life. Because he sought advice from the witch of Endor instead of from God, God…

A Man After God’s Own Heart, Part 27: The Misery of Sin (1 Sam. 28, 30)

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/10/2017) As we conclude this series on the early life of David, we come to one of the saddest episodes of Scripture: the death of King Saul. Saul started out with such promise, but ended up in sin’s misery. When he sought the advice of a witch instead…

On June 6, 1944, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe, issued the following statement to the soldiers about to invade Normandy: “Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force:  You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months.  The eyes of the…

A Man After God’s Own Heart, Part 26: David’s Defection (1 Sam. 28:1-2, 29:1-11, cont.)

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 11/26/2017) As we have looked at the defection of David to a land controlled by the Philistines, we see David compounding sin upon sin. Anytime we are in the land controlled by the enemy, we are in danger of falling deeper and deeper into sin! But God is always…

A Man After God’s Own Heart, Part 25: David’s Defection (cont.) (1 Sam. 27)

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 11/26/2017) Last time, we began to see what happened when David reasoned in his own heart about his next course of action, instead of trusting God and seeking His will. He ended up in a land occupied by the enemy, where he and his men were in grave…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 11/26/2017) While David was indeed a “man after God’s own heart,” he nonetheless was a sinner.

A Man After God’s Own Heart, Part 23: David and Abigail (cont) (1 Sam. 25)

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/22/2017) In the first half of this sermon, we saw that the same David who had spared Saul’s life was now seeking the life of Nabal and his entire band, simply because Nabal had insulted David and his men. What a contradiction in responses! But isn’t that just…

A Man After God’s Own Heart, Part 22: David and Abigail (1 Sam. 25)

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/22/2021) In the previous episode of David’s life, we see him acting in godly obedience and sparing the life of his great enemy Saul. Today, we see him rushing headlong to vengeance against Nabal, a foolish farmer who had done no more than insult him! Isn’t that the…

Today, we conclude by looking at the last few questions. I hope these have been helpful to you in understanding what Primitive Baptists believe, and why! And let me conclude with the…

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/15/2017) In the last post, we saw that David had a great opportunity to destroy his enemy Saul, but instead opted to follow the word of God. You see, even though the circumstances may seem to dictate otherwise, we have not authority to deviate from God’s word! Join…
