by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on March 31, 2024) In Mark 15:28, we read that Jesus was “numbered with the transgressors.” How could the holy, harmless, undefiled Son of God be counted with such sinners? Join us today as we begin to understand the substitutionary sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ, who became sin…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on March 24, 2024) As we saw yesterday, Naomi’s husband took their family to Moab when they should have stayed in Bethlehem. But God is good even in the face of our disobedience! When Ruth returned with her mother-in-law, she encountered a mighty man of wealth named Boaz, who…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on March 24, 2024) In the book of Ruth, we read about a man named Boaz. Bible readers will recall that he was the near-kinsman of Naomi, who eventually redeemed and married Ruth. But Boaz – like many characters in the Old Testament – is a type of the…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on May 5, 2024) As we finish up with our study of Sunday Schools and youth groups, we continue looking at (false) objections to children being present in the worship service, and then we begin to examine the benefits of families worshiping together. Family integrated worship is the biblical…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on May 5, 2024) In this sermon, the first half of which we are sharing today, we finish up with our study of the scripturality of Sunday Schools and youth groups. First, we finish looking at the role of children in the early church, focusing primarily upon the book…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on April 28, 2024) As we began to see yesterday, the Bible is clear that families ought to be worshiping together. Family integrated worship was the pattern of both the Old Testament and the New Testament, and it is the pattern of public worship in Primitive Baptist Churches today….
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on April 28, 2024) We are considering the fact that Primitive Baptists do not have Sunday Schools or youth groups. In today’s message, we look at the history of Sunday Schools. Like musical instruments, Sunday Schools are a recent development in the church. We do not read about Sunday…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on April 4, 2024) One of the first things you will notice when you come to a Primitive Baptist Church is that families worship together. Indeed, family-integrated worship has always been a characteristic of God’s true churches! We are engaged in a series about why we do what we…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on April 7, 2024) In most modern churches, the members are segregated out at some point during the worship services in Sunday School classes and youth groups. But when you come to a Primitive Baptist Church, you find families worshiping together under the sound of the gospel being preached…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on April 14, 2024) As we began to see in the first half of this message, contentment is a struggle in a life where discontent abounds. In this fallen world, we are constantly struggling against the desire to accumulate “stuff,” but God tells us that we must be content….
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on April 14, 2024) Do you struggle with contentment? I confess that I do! I believe lack of contentment is one of the sins that afflicts us in our day and age as much as any other sin. But what does the Bible say about “being content?” Join us…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on March 31, 2024) As we conclude our look at Hebrews 11 today, we come to a group of people that the writer says the world was not worthy of. These faithful martyrs gave their lives in the service of God. And remember, these are primarily Old Testament martyrs;…
