by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 7/10/22) Friends, it appears that we live in a Babylonian world system. The wicked influences of our modern society are not content to leave the Christian alone, but rather seek constantly to undermine our daily walk. How should we respond to such influences? Join us today and tomorrow as…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (7/17/22) Today, we conclude the message begun yesterday about how we should view baptism.

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 7/17/22) Today we turn to the proper understanding of baptism – that is, what does baptism actually do? Does it somehow save us eternally? Or is there some other salvation under consideration in these verses? Join us as we learn today and tomorrow that baptism “saves” us in a…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 7/10/22) Article Seven of the Articles of Faith of Zion Primitive Baptist Church deals with the two ordinances of the Lord’s church: baptism, and the Lord’s Supper (communion).

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 7/3/22) In this conclusion to yesterday’s message, we learn that negligence is sometimes a greater issue than rebellion for God’s people. Certainly, when we are rebellious we can expect bad consequences; however, it is usually complacency – or negligence in our Christian walk – that afflicts us more! Join…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 7/3/22) As we continue our series on the Book of Hebrews, we read in the second chapter that we must be diligent in regard to the things we have heard, and not to let them “slip”. The word “slip” means “to drift away.” The idea is that negligence can…
