by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 10-10-22) When John and Jesus began to preach that the Kingdom of God is “at hand,” the Jews of the day were perplexed!

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 2/28/21) In today’s message, we conclude a sermon on the “Roman Road to Salvation” preached by Elder Chris McCool a few months ago. We see from Scripture that, although the religious world teaches the “Roman Road” as some process for men to get themselves saved, the true “Roman…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 2/28/21) Have you ever heard someone in the denominational world talk about the “Roman Road to Salvation?” In almost every case, they are referring to steps that a person must follow in order to be eternally saved, and pulling verses out of Romans to do it. But is…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/25/22) In a world of complications, simplicity is refreshing! In the religious world, there are all kinds of complicated schemes that man must follow in order to be eternally saved. But what does the Bible say? In this message, we learn that the “scheme” of eternal salvation is…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/18/22) In the first half of this message, we looked at the question of what happens when we die. Today, we conclude by asking the question, “What happens when Jesus Returns?” Is there some complicated eschatological process that involves some intervening dispensation of time, or does Jesus simply…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/18/22) As we continue our look at Article 8 of our Articles of Faith, we ask the question today, “What happens when we die?” There are many theories in the world, but what does the Bible say about death and the child of God? Today we look at…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/11/22) Last time we began looking at Article 8 of our Articles of Faith, which deals with the “end times” and the Second Coming of Christ. In order to understand eschatology, we saw a need to understand that we are currently living in the spiritual Kingdom of God…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 9/11/22) Article Eight of our Articles of Faith reads as follows: “We believe in a resurrection of the dead and a general judgment and that the felicity (joy) of the righteous and the punishment of the wicked will be eternal.” This speaks of the simple, Bible-based belief that…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 6/14/2020) In the last post, we shared the first half of a sermon about Abraham, and the cities near which he pitched his tents. Remember that he was a wanderer who never built any permanent cities, but rather dwelt in tents. In today’s message, which is the second…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 6/14/2020) Abraham was a wanderer who never built any permanent cities, but rather dwelt in tents. But as he moved around the Middle East, he often encamped near some larger cities. In this message, the first half of which we post today, Pastor Chris McCool begins to expound…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on 11/29/2015) Yesterday, we began to look at the places where Abraham pitched his tents. His choice of location is analogous to the choices facing us today. As we conclude this message, we see that the best place for us as we sojourn in this life is in the…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 11/29/2015) Abraham never built cities, but lived a nomadic life dwelling only in tents.
