by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 3/11/2018) In this message, we begin to look at the purpose of the preaching of the gospel. These verses in Hebrews sets forth clearly the work of Christ versus the purpose of preaching the gospel. Does the Gospel save you for eternity? Does the Gospel bring you life?…
by Elder Craig Blair (preached on 9/4/22) In the first half of this message, we began to see that a child of God ought to persevere in discipleship and faith. We saw that the Bible does not teach that a child of God can fall away in the sense of losing his or her eternal…
by Elder Craig Blair (preached on 9/4/22) The Bible has much to say about perseverance. The world often gets this doctrine wrong: they teach that one MUST persevere in order to maintain his or her status as a child of God. Contrary to this teaching, the Bible teaches that children of God can “fall away”…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/4/22) In the first half of this message, we saw that the fact of God’s predestinating grace means that we are going somewhere! No matter how much drudgery we face in life, even in the times it seems we just aren’t making any progress – that we aren’t…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/4/22) Do you ever find yourself “spinning your wheels” in life? Does it seem like you’re going nowhere in your career, your social life, your family life? Cheer up, Child of God: you are going somewhere! That’s what “predestination” is all about! No matter what the circumstances indicate,…
In the last two editions of “Monday Minutes,” we shared an article by Elder C.H. Cayce on the topic of “from from grace.” I cannot presume to improve upon his writings, but I feel a burden to continue looking at this topic today. For those who claim that a child of God can “fall from…
by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 8/28/22) Today we conclude the message “Beauty for Ashes,” as we see how gracious our Lord is to exchange the broken things of our life for the blessings of His grace. We saw yesterday how the Scriptures teach this glorious principle, and we continue today looking at the…
by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on 8/28/22) In today’s message, Elder John Morgan Owens begins to teach from the Scripture how the Lord can exchange the “ashes” of your life for the beauty of His blessings! Join us today and tomorrow as we examine the uplifting principle that He is able to bless us,…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 8/28/22) In today’s post, we conclude the message begun yesterday on the subject of “fear not.” In Isa. 43:1-7, God speaks through the voice of Isaiah, and tells us that He will be with us in every circumstance of life. He also reassures us of His love for…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 8/28/22) In this sin-cursed world, we face many trials and tribulations. Often we are made to fear, because the trouble is so great and the trial so intense. But Isaiah tells us, “Fear not.” In this message, we begin to look at the ways in which God is…
Last week, we began looking at an article by Elder C.H. Cayce on the topic of “Falling From Grace.” Can a child of God be eternally saved one day, and lost the next? The clear answer from Scripture is “no”, and Elder Cayce’s article on this subject is excellent. May the Lord bless you is…
by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached on 8/21/22) Today we conclude the first message by Elder Buddy Abernathy on chapter four of Revelation, where we begin to see a vision of Heaven itself. Remember, we are to see this view of heaven as an encouragement, and not something scary! If we understand the book of Revelation…
