Spiritual Warfare, Part 6: The Flesh (Eph. 6:10-13)

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/30/22) In the last post, we began looking at the third of our trinity of enemies: the flesh. The flesh is always with us, and it is against us! The “carnal mind,” we are told, is in a constant state of enmity against God. Join us today as…

Spiritual Warfare, Part 5: The Flesh (Eph. 6:10-13)

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/30/22) As we have already seen, there is a trinity of spiritual enemies of God’s people: the devil, the world, and the flesh. Having already dealt with the devil and the world, today we begin looking at the flesh. The flesh is ever present with us, and is…

The Book of Hebrews, Part 14: Gospel Rest (Heb. 4:9-11)

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/23/22) Today’s message is the second half of a sermon about “gospel rest.” There is no doubt from Scripture that Christ paid the debt for every single one of His elect children; however, not all those children find the “rest” that they need so badly! Many try to…

The Book of Hebrews, Part 13: Gospel Rest (Heb. 4:9-11)

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10/23/22) In this sermon, we see that there is only one way that a child of God can find any rest in this world: by believing the true gospel message! The true gospel tells us that Jesus Christ paid for our sins, and that we can rest in…

Spiritual Warfare, Part 4: The World (Eph. 6:10-13)

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 10/16/22) Today we conclude a message begun yesterday, regarding the world as our enemy. The philosophies of this world are diametrically opposed to the Kingdom of God, and we need to be aware of them and resist them. In fact, God says “beware” of these philosophies, for they are…

Spiritual Warfare, Part 3: The World (Eph. 6:10-13)

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 10/16/22) Last time, we saw that the devil is our primary enemy. We learned his tactics, and discovered biblical principles on how to resist him. Today, we begin looking at a second enemy: the world. The world is against us, and especially so since the devil is the prince…

Spiritual Warfare, Part 1: The Devil (Eph. 6:10-13)

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 10/16/22) I don’t think anyone could argue that we are in a constant state of spiritual war! Our trinity of enemies – the world, the flesh, and the devil – are all against us, and out to destroy us. Today we begin to look at the primary enemy of…

The Book of Hebrews, Part 12: Better Than Moses (Heb. 3:1-6)

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10-10-22) In the last post, we began looking at Moses and Christ, and were beginning to see how much better Christ is than Moses! Today, we continue looking at this idea of Christ as “better”, and ultimately see that because He is better, we are “His house” –…

The Book of Hebrews, Part 11: Better Than Moses (Heb. 3:1-6)

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10-10-22) One of the prevalent themes of the Book of Hebrews can be summed up in one word: “better.” Christ is better than the angels, the new covenant is better than the old, etc. In today’s message, the word “better” does not appear, but the sentiment certainly does!…
