by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/18/22) As we continue our look at Article 8 of our Articles of Faith, we ask the question today, “What happens when we die?” There are many theories in the world, but what does the Bible say about death and the child of God? Today we look at…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/11/22) Last time we began looking at Article 8 of our Articles of Faith, which deals with the “end times” and the Second Coming of Christ. In order to understand eschatology, we saw a need to understand that we are currently living in the spiritual Kingdom of God…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/11/22) Article Eight of our Articles of Faith reads as follows: “We believe in a resurrection of the dead and a general judgment and that the felicity (joy) of the righteous and the punishment of the wicked will be eternal.” This speaks of the simple, Bible-based belief that…
by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 9/11/22) In this conclusion to his recent message on “famine,” Elder John Morgan Owens brings us through some other examples from the Scripture about how to (and how NOT to!) handle famine in our lives.

In today’s edition of “Monday Minutes,” I want to share a recent article by Elder Buddy Abernathy explaining 1 Pet. 3:18-20. This passage has sometimes given people problems, but I believe Bro.

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 6/14/2020) In the last post, we shared the first half of a sermon about Abraham, and the cities near which he pitched his tents. Remember that he was a wanderer who never built any permanent cities, but rather dwelt in tents. In today’s message, which is the second…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 6/14/2020) Abraham was a wanderer who never built any permanent cities, but rather dwelt in tents. But as he moved around the Middle East, he often encamped near some larger cities. In this message, the first half of which we post today, Pastor Chris McCool begins to expound…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 11/29/2015) Yesterday, we began to look at the places where Abraham pitched his tents. His choice of location is analogous to the choices facing us today. As we conclude this message, we see that the best place for us as we sojourn in this life is in the…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 11/29/2015) Abraham never built cities, but lived a nomadic life dwelling only in tents. In this sermon, we take a look at the places where Abraham pitched his tents. Depending on the location, Abraham received blessings, or succumbed to temptation. Brethren, it is important where we pitch our tents…
Over the past few weeks, we have been dealing with the topic of eternal security, asking the question, “Can a child of God ‘fall from grace’ in the sense of losing his eternal salvation?” We have seen, through the writings of Elder C.H. Cayce as well as our own studies, that the answer is a…
