by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/24/2023) In Luke 2:11, we find nineteen words: “for unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” These nineteen words contain a message of great hope! Join us today as we look at the message given by the…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 4/9/2023) On the Road to Emmaeus, two disciples were doubting and downcast. When Jesus appeared to them, they did not recognize Him because He did not want to be recognized, but He began to teach them about the resurrection. He asked a question: “Ought not Christ to have…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/25/2022) At this time of the year, we seem to see “nativity scenes” set up everywhere, reminding us that the Jesus was born in Bethlehem some 2000 years ago. But have you ever wondered why there had to be a manger in Bethlehem at that particular time, with…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/18/22) Today we conclude the message begun yesterday regarding Mary’s status as “highly favored.” While this exalted status was a great blessing to her, it also meant great hardships throughout her life. Ultimately, she was – and we will be – vindicated by the resurrection of Christ! Join…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 12/18/22) When the angel Gabriel came to Mary to announce the advent of the Christ child, he hailed her as “highly favored.” While this was a high honor, we often gloss over the realities of what it means to be “highly favored.” In this message, we look at the…
by Elder Chris McCool (preached on 12/11/22) In the last post, we heard the first half of this sermon about the difference between work and worship. Today, we conclude this message by understanding that, although the Kingdom of God indeed requires work, the most needful thing for us is to sit at Jesus’ feet and…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/11/22) In the verses under consideration today, we read about the visit of Jesus to the home of Martha and Mary. These two were sisters, and they were hosting the Savior, but they reacted to His presence in vastly different ways. Martha was a worker, and she was…
by Elder Matt Sonstegard (preached on 3-17-2018) Today, we begin posting a series of three sermons by Elder Matt Sonstegard, pastor of Bethel Primitive Baptist Church of Lindsay, California, which were preached at our Annual Meeting in 2018. In this sermon, we hear about the assurance that we can have in the Kingdom of God….
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 Ronald Lawrence (preached 3/19/22) In this conclusion to the message from yesterday, Bro. Ronald finishes his exposition of the account of the ten lepers that were cleansed, and exhorts us to be like the one Samaritan who returned to praise the Lord: give Him thanks! Download Audio File
by Elder Ronald Lawrence (preached 3/19/22) As the children of God, we ought to always be thankful. In this account, we see Jesus healing 10 lepers, but only one – a Samaritan – returned to thank Him! May we learn from this example that we should never neglect to give Him thanks!
