by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 5/8/22) Having looked extensively at the doctrine of election over the past few weeks, we turn now to Article Four of the Articles of Faith of Zion Primitive Baptist Church: We believe in the doctrine of original sin and impotency of man’s recovery in and of himself from the…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 12/19/21) In Genesis 49, we read about Jacob blessing his children before he dies. In blessing Judah, he declares that “the sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come. . . .” This is a glorious prophecy of the coming of the Messiah; join us…
Last week, we began to look at the difference between “time” and “eternal” salvation. Both of these types of salvation are taught in the Scripture, but many (if not most) in the religious world only ever interpret the word “saved” or “salvation” to mean ETERNAL salvation. However, in order to rightly divide the word of…

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached 5/1/22) In the second half of the sermon begun yesterday, we see that one of the strongest encouragements Jesus gave to the few remaining faithful members was that He would not “blot out” their names from the book of life.

by Elder Buddy Abernathy (preached 5/1/22) As we continue looking at the letter to Sardis, we see that this church – which had a name that it was alive, but is actually “dead,” according to Jesus – is given some instructions and some hope. There were apparently members of this church that had continued to…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 5/1/22) Today we conclude the message that we began yesterday on the topic of “perseverance through grace.” The idea of this article of our articles of faith is that God, through His divine power, preserves each and every one of His children through grace, and NOT that they themselves…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 5/1/22) In our articles of faith, we find the following language: “We believe in . . . the final perseverance of the saints through grace. . . .” What does this mean? Does this mean that all children of God WILL PERSEVERE in faith and good works, or else…
One of the most basic doctrinal differences between Primitive Baptists and most of the rest of the religious world involves our understanding of the term “saved” or “salvation” in the Scriptures. Most people read the Bible and think that every time the word “saved” appears, it is referring to eternal salvation. Primitive Baptists, on the…
by Bro. John Morgan Owens (preached 4-24-22) In today’s message, we conclude a sermon by Bro. John Morgan Owens on the topic of “light.” We saw last time that God is the Creator and Source of all light, and we conclude today by seeing that God has placed light in His children, and that we…
