by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 2/12/2023) Hebrews 6 begins with a stern warning about falling away, which we have already dealt with in this series on Hebrews. But the chapter ends with the sweetest confirmation of the eternal security of the child of God! Join us as we look at the anchor of…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 1/22/2023) As we began to see in the first half of this message, people sometimes misinterpret the passage in Heb. 6:4-6 as teaching that a child of God can “fall from grace,” i.e., lose their eternal salvation. A plain reading of the text does NOT teach this, and…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 1/22/2023) In the first few verses of Hebrews 6, there is a passage that has caused many children of God to fall victim to the heresy that a child of God can lose his eternal salvation. Hebrews 6:4-6 indicates that a child of God can get to point…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 1/22/2023) In the last post, we began to look at the topic of spiritual immaturity. The writer of Hebrews wanted to discuss some “deep” things about Christ, but felt like he was hindered in doing so by the fact that these Hebrew listeners were still too spiritually immature!…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 1/22/2023) Just when the writer of Hebrews is about to start a discourse on the Melchizedekan High-Priesthood of Christ, he interrupts his train of thought to bring up an important subject: these Hebrew listeners were too spiritually immature for him to go very deep into the mysteries of…
by Elder Mike Ivey (preached on 10/20/2019) In this powerful message, Elder Mike Ivey explains from Scripture how there is a “now” salvation in baptism. There is NO eternal merit in the ordinance, but oh what a deliverance it brings us by bringing us together in the “social band” of God’s children! Join us as…
by Elder Lonnie Mozingo, Jr. (preached on 1/29/2023) In our last post, we heard the first half of a powerful message preached by Elder Lonnie Mozingo, Jr., regarding the reason that Christ came into the world. Ultimately, we will see that He came not to try to accomplish God’s will, but to actually finish the…
by Elder Lonnie Mozingo, Jr. (preached on 1/29/2023) In this powerful message, Elder Lonnie Mozingo, Jr., reminds us why Jesus Christ came into the world. It wasn’t to attempt to do something, and it wasn’t to try to accomplish the will of God. Rather, it was to completely save His people from their sins! Join…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 1/15/2023) In 2 Samuel 23, we read the last words of King David. As a society, we attach special significance to the last words people speak, don’t we? In the legal field, a “dying declaration” is admissible over a hearsay objection. The reason is that we believe –…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/10/2017) As we bring this series on the early life of David to a conclusion, we find ourselves saddened by the misery of sin that King Saul experienced at the end of his life. Because he sought advice from the witch of Endor instead of from God, God…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 12/10/2017) As we conclude this series on the early life of David, we come to one of the saddest episodes of Scripture: the death of King Saul. Saul started out with such promise, but ended up in sin’s misery. When he sought the advice of a witch instead…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 11/26/2017) As we have looked at the defection of David to a land controlled by the Philistines, we see David compounding sin upon sin. Anytime we are in the land controlled by the enemy, we are in danger of falling deeper and deeper into sin! But God is always…
