by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 4/17/22) In this sermon, we conclude our look at Paul’s defense of the Resurrection in 1 Cor. 15. He shows through Scripture and clear logic that the Resurrection must be real, because Christ’s Resurrectiot was real! And he also demonstrates to us how important it is that we understand…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 4/17/22) The Resurrection of Christ is an absolute necessity to the success of His work. If He did not rise again, then He was just a charlatan as the Pharisees said! But the Corinthian church was wallowing in the belief that there was no such thing as a bodily…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 4/10/22) Today’s message continues and concludes our thoughts about the two objections to the doctrine of election that Paul deals with in Romans 9. In the first half of this message, we primarily dealt with the “Fairness” Objection – i.e., it wouldn’t be fair if God chose some but…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 4/10/22) In this message, we begin to look at two primary objections that are often raised to the doctrine of election. Paul deals with both in Romans 9: the first is the “Fairness” Objection, and the second is the “Absolutism” Objection. Both of these objections fail based on scripture,…
Today we conclude our look at Jesus’ use of natural phenomena to illustrate spiritual truths, as found in John 3:1-8. Yesterday we focused primarily upon the “womb” as an illustration of regeneration; today we conclude with a look at the water as a type of the Spirit of God, and the wind as an illustration…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 11-14-21) In the third chapter of John’s gospel, we read about an encounter between Jesus and a man named Nicodemus. When Nicodemus, a leader of the Jewish religion, came to Jesus by night, Jesus took that opportunity to explain regeneration by using three natural examples to illustrate this spiritual…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 4/3/22) Yesterday we began to look at the question “Wherein hast thou loved us?” We saw that Jacob (a representative of God’s people) was no different than Esau (a representative of those who are not God’s people), and yet God loved him. The answer to the question is just…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 4/3/22) In the first chapter of Malachi, the Lord tells us that His people have asked the question, “Wherein hast thou loved us?” Through the voice of Malachi, God proceeds to tell them how He has loved them. This is a relevant question for us today, is it not?…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 3/27/22) Do you find yourself facing enemies in this world?

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 3/20/22) Today’s message is the continuation of our previous message, where we began to look at what the Bible says about the doctrine of election.

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 3/20/22) In this message, we continue looking at the doctrine of election as set forth in the Scripture. Last time we dealt with what election does NOT stand for, and today we look at what election really IS. This doctrine is a reality in God’s word, and we have…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 3/13/22) Today we finish looking at some of the misconceptions that people have about what Primitive Baptists believe in regard to the doctrine of election.
