Touching the Lord
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 12/01/2024 (SM) Matthew 15:24 Although the Woman from Canaan Might Have Been Put off By Jesus' Response to Her Plea for Help, She Humbled Herself Even More and Touched the Lord by Her Faith. Opening Yourself Ever Wider to Our Lord God Permits His Blessings of Instruction and Healing and Joy to Enter Into Your Heart.
Jesus Is All for Us
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 12/01/2024 (SN) Psalm 19:1-5 Before Any Scripture Was Penned by Moses or the Prophets Spake for God to His People, the Heavens Declared the Glory of God (and the Firmament Was a Witness, Too, of His Handiwork). After Jesus Was Come [Lived, Died, Rose Again], He Was the Satisfaction of the Law and of Sin--for ALL Mankind, Not Just the Saved. And Now, Jesus Is Our Passover, and We Eat and Drink the Lord's Supper in Remembrance of Him and in Anticipation of His Coming Again.

Profitable For Nothing
-audio mp3-
Barry McDonald 11/24/2024 (SM) Jeremiah 13:1-11 God Gives Jeremiah a Physical Illustration of His Commitment to Israel in the Form of a Linen Girdle Which Becomes Dirty and "Unprofitable." Nevertheless! God Wants Us Back, and He Will Come to Us Because We Cannot Find Our Way Back to Him. The Preacher Gives Another Illustration of the Very Same Thing.
Riding Out the Storm
-audio mp3-
Roger Lee 11/24/2024 (SN) Acts 27:20 Paul Purposed in Himself to Go to Jerusalem. In That, He Was Going Ahead of God's Timetable. But After an Uproar Was Incited and Paul Had to be Rescued by a Centurion, Then the Lord Came and Stood by Him and Gave Him the Green Light. Then the Storm Came and Pounded and Wreaked Havoc--They Despaired! But God Revealed to Paul That Was No Life Would Be Lost of Who All Stayed with the Ship and Rode Out the Storm.
God's Blessings On Us
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 11/17/2024 (SM) Ephesians 1:3-6 It is Clearly Declared That the Lord Has: Blessed Us, Chosen Us, Predestined Us, and Made Us Accepted in the Beloved. We Have Many Blessings From God Such As: Being Born-Again, Security (Holy Ghost Has Sealed Us), Access to Come to God in Prayer, Discipline By the Lord, Having the Joy of the Lord, and Rejoicing For Our Name is Written in Heaven. When We Have a Dead and Empty Christian Life We Must Get Back on the Path to the Joy of the Lord.
Understand, We've Got No Might...
-audio mp3-
Sam Greene 11/17/2024 (SN) II Chronicles 20:12, 15-17 As King Jehoshaphat Said: We've Got No Might on Our Own; There Is a Great Company Coming Against Us (Much Pressure to Conform); Don't Know What to Do, But We've Got Our Eyes upon Our God (We're in Fellowship). And God Answers: "The Battle Is Not Yours, But God's" -- But Nevertheless, They Had to Have Faith and Go Down and Face Their Enemies.
Case Examples of Faith
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 11/10/2024 (SM) Hebrews 11:1 Faith is Big With the Lord. It is Important To Have Faith/Trust in His Word and In His Character. Faith Brings Blessings, Opens Doors, and Wins the Battle. Faith Sees the Invisible. Faith Can See You Through Anything (Recollecting Preacher's Back porch Experience [2000]).
God's Bringing Us Out
-audio mp3-
Roger Lee 11/10/2024 (SN) Exodus 14:9-11 It Was Welcome Answers to Hebrew Children's Cries Before the Lord That God Would Bring His People Out of Egypt. But When They Looked Back and Saw Pharaoh's Army Rushing Them Against the Boundary the Red Sea--They Were Sore Afraid, Shaking, and Wailed to Moses of Their Imminent Demise! .... O, But God Told Moses to Command Them, "Stand Still and See the Salvation of the Lord."

Satan
-audio mp3-

Charles Lawson 11/03/2024 (SM) Ezekiel 28:14-16 Satan is Known as a Cherub; He is Among the Beasts; and He is an Unseen Being (Creatures Unseen By Man, i.e. Behemoth and Leviathan). Satan is Constantly Seeking, Looking For a Weakness and Opportunity to Get Between Us and God. We Must Exalt the Real Lord Jesus Christ and Preach the Crucified Savior, the Blood, the Gospel, and the Truth.

Behold, I Come Quickly
-audio mp3-

Lucas Hickman 11/03/2024 (SN) Revelation 22:7, 12, 20 Three Times in the One Chapter, Our Lord Jesus Says, "I Come Quickly"; and in Conclusion, John's Response Was: "Amen. Even So, Come, Lord Jesus."
How Eager Are You to Be Taken Away to Forever with Our Saviour? How Ready John Must Have Been.... And How We Can Get Prepared, as John Was. How We Might Buddy-up, Too, to Encourage One Another.

Pastor Appreciation
-audio mp3-
Barry McDonald 10/27/2024 (SN)

Jeremiah 3:15
Ephesians 4:11
Hebrews 13:17

I Timothy 5:17

Pastors = Shepherds; and Bishops (also = Pastors) Are Responsible Before God for the Spiritual Matters of Their Flock: They Labor in the Word and Doctrine. Reciprocally, They (as the Rulers Over) Are to Be Obeyed, to Be Honored, and to Be Compensated. ...Brother Barry's First-Hand Experience in the Arduousness of Pastoring--a Calling That Sorely Wants Mercy.
Come to the Cross
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 10/20/2024 (SM) Matthew 27:26-36 The Scripture Provides a Historical Account of the Crucifixion of Christ. The Cross Represents Where Jesus Christ Died For Our Sins 2000 Years Ago, and it is the Only Place Where God and Man Meet. There is No Gospel of Christ Without the Death, Burial, and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ Had to Lay His Life Down and Once He Did -- It Was Finished. All We Have to Do is Meet Jesus There.

Invaluable [But Enigmatic] Passages

Charles Lawson 10/20/2024 (SN) I Timothy 6:14-16 Delving into Scriptures That Speak of: the Times, the Life, the Light of God.
Being A Force For Good
-audio mp3-
Cody Shew 10/13/2024 (SM) Romans 12:21 Spiritual or Physical Battle, the Evil You Are Fighting Will Attempt to Overcome You. You Must First Tackle the Evil Inside of You Before You Attack the Evil Outwardly. So, in Order to Be a Force For Good, We Must Be a Force Of Good; and to That End We Must: (1) Be Saved, (2) Be Submissive to the Will of God, (3) Have a Renewed Mind in Christ, (4) Know Your Place in the Body of Christ, (5) Have Good Character.
Sharing the Supernatural
-audio mp3-
Cody Shew 10/13/2024 (SN) Exodus 17:14-16 God Instructs Moses to Write Down For a Memorial in a Book and Rehearse it in the Ears of Joshua After the Israelites Defeats Amalek; But, Why? Because There is Power in God's People Sharing the Supernatural. Amalek Serves as a Type of the Flesh and Our First Battle and Daily Battle is With the Flesh. When God Does the Miraculous in Our Life We Ought to Share it to Build the Faith of the Next Generation.
Whom Am I Talking To?
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 10/06/2024 (SM) Isaiah 61:1-3
Luke 4:16-19
The Word of God is Alive and Speaks Personally to Every Listener. While on Earth, the Lord Jesus Christ Was Here to Minister. Now It Is the Holy Spirit That Ministers the Word to Everyone Individually. Collective Terms Include the New Age Gurus, the Very Religious, Sinners/Hypocrites, Solomon Syndrome, Divorced, Raised in Church/Rebuffed by Church. In Any Case and in Every Case, Turn Your Eyes, Heart, and Mind on the Lord Jesus Christ For He Is Salvation Personified, and He Will Bring You Through.
God's Building Program
-audio mp3-
Tony Hopkins 10/06/2024 (SN) Isaiah 28:9-10

(1) The Lord Starts Small: "Small Inputs Over Time Produce Lasting Results."
(2) Slowly Grows: "Precept Must Be Upon Precept, Precept Upon Precept." [At Your Own Pace]
(3) Steady: "Go to the Ant..." "Do It Before Winter." "Always Abounding..." "Redeem the Time."
.......Finally, This Process Produces a Balanced Christian. Starting Point--Get in the Book.

Let God Help Us
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 09/29/2024 (SM) Deuteronomy 8:1 People Can't Be Helped if They Won't Allow It, and Sometimes It's a Sense of Entitlement that Prevents Them from Accepting Help. To Be a Helper, One Must Be Patient. (God Is Infinitely Patient) To Be Helped, One Must Be Humble; Must Confront His Need. If in Sin, One Must, by the Grace of God, Repent and Turn from It.
A Father's Love For His Son
-audio mp3-
Barry McDonald 09/29/2024 (SN) Genesis 22:1-8 Man is What He Loves and What He Fears. Abraham Was Not Tempted of God To Sin; but, God Did Try Him When He Instructed Him To Sacrifice His Only Son, Isaac. Abraham Serves as a Type of God the Father and Isaac, a Type of the Son. God the Father Loves God the Son More Than Anything, Yet He Gave Him to Die For Our Sins [Because It Was Necessary]. If We Love Not the Son Then We Don't Know the Father; For We Must Go Through the Son to Get to the Father.
The Breath of God
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 09/22/2024 (SM) II Peter 1:9 God Breathed into Man the Breath of Life, Therefore the Soul of Man is the Breath of God. God Can Take Your Life, Broken or Not, and Put You on a Path that Takes You Higher and Higher. When the Holy Spirit Comes Upon You, it will Change Your Life Completely.

No Evening Service

The Abyss
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 09/15/2024 (SM) Luke 16:19 God Forewarns Us About Life After Death: The Rich Man in Hell Bids Lazarus in Abraham's Bosom to Give Him Drop of Water, but That is Impossible for the Great Gulf Dividing Them. Jesus Both Ascended into Heaven (by His Own Righteousness) and Descended into the Heart of the Earth. The Bottomless Pit is from Where All Manner of Demons and Evil Spirits Will Be Released Upon the Earth. You Don't Want to Go There. Be Careful for Your Soul.
Prophet Unto the Nations
-audio mp3-
Roger Lee 09/15/2024 (SN) Jeremiah 2:1-3 From His Mother's Womb, God Set Jeremiah Apart and Ordained Him To Be a Prophet to the Nation of Israel: Jeremiah Preached Before, During, and After Babylonian Captivity. God Put His Word in Jeremiah's Mouth, but Israel Turned From it and Would Not Hear -- Going So Far as King Jehoiakim Cutting and Burning the Word of God. Even Today, If We Turn From the Word of God, Then God Must Send Judgement.
What's Available To Us
-audio mp3-
Dr. Roc Collins 09/08/2024 (SM) Romans 10:9 Everything We Need is Available to Us. Salvation is Available [Available to Whosoever Shall Call Upon the Name of the Lord], Shamelessness is Available [Don't Allow Satan to Wear You Down With Shame], and the Sustaining Work of Christ is Available [All You Have to Do is Call on Jesus' Name.]
Inheriting the Kingdom of God
-audio mp3-
Dr. Roc Collins 09/08/2024 (SN) I Corinthians 6:9-11 The Scripture Provides a Detailed List of Habitual Actions That Are Considered Unrighteous, and Unrighteousness Does Not Belong in the Kingdom of God. But "Such Were Some of [Us]"! Neither is All the Righteousness We Can Muster On Our Own Sufficient! Christ's Righteousness Must be Imparted Unto Us: For Christ Alone is Righteous.
The Cross - The Reason Jesus Came into the World
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 09/01/2024 (SM) I Corinthians 1:17 The Cross Reveals Sin, the Holiness of God, the Son and the Son's Heart, and the Giver (God the Father). The Cross is a Sterling Example of How God Can Turn a Curse into a Blessing. Whenever You Find Yourself Mad or at Odds with God, Go to Him Openly, Earnestly--for a Meeting of Minds with Him and a Restoration of Fellowship.
Being Blessed, Staying Blessed, and Keeping Clear His Path for Us

Lucas Hickman 09/01/2024 (SN) Psalm 119:1-12 We Want to Revel in the Immediate Joy and Weightlessness of the New Birth, O, Yes! Then...We Tend to Take Back, Big and Little Chunks at a Time: Heed [or Not] the Word of God; Give Him [or Don't] Your Whole Heart; Be Teachable [Continually] of the Lord's Statues.

Charles Lawson 08/25/2024 (SM) Acts 2:29

The Times of the Gentiles Is Coming to Fulfillment and Will End Abruptly, Completely When the Rock Smites It on Its Feet. So the Last Days Are Imminent With A Host of Other Signs Such as Seen in Noah's Time: Just Before the World Was Judged Then.

The Eyes of Man Compared to the Eyes of the Lord
-audio mp3-
Barry McDonald 08/25/2024 (SN) I Samuel 16:1-7

The World's Outlook of Us Is Limited to Our Flesh and the Eyes of Men Will Condemn Us. The Eyes of the Lord Look Past the Flesh and Searches the Heart Where He Knows What No One Else Can -- Such As Our Ways, Motives, Secrets, Burdens, and Sorrows. How Man Sees Versus How the Lord Sees in the Instances of Rahab and Ruth and Two Young Women at a Truck Stop.

The Birth of Death
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 08/18/2024 (SM) John 1:1-14 The Book of John Is Written That the Hearers Might Believe and, Believing, Come to Be Born to Eternal Life in Christ Jesus. "Flesh Does Not Beget Life; It Takes Spirit to Beget Life." All the Sin in the World Comes from People: Within the Heart of Every Man -- "...When Lust Hath Conceived, it Bringeth Forth Sin: and Sin, When It is Finished, Bringeth Forth Death." [James 1:15]

A Book in the Midst of Books
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 08/11/2024 (SM) Matthew 5:1 We Live In a Time When People Would Create a Religion Composite of God-Country-and a Fifth of Liquor, and Some Would Anticipate "Singularity"-When Human and AI Is Merged To Defy Death. In Scripture, Following the Synoptic Gospels Which Preach the Kingdom of Heaven, the Gospel of John Centers on the New Birth, and for This Reason John Stands As a Succinct Presentation of the Gospel of the Grace of God.

I Thessalonians 4:1-12

Contrasting Different Churches In the New Testament and Where They Were In Their Walk: Paul Lays Out Guidelines For Christians That We Must Be (1) Right with God (2) Right with the Brethren and (3) Right with the World. What We Set Our Focus On Will Be the Path We Take -- the Devil Wants To Get Us Out of the Race.

Charles Lawson 08/04/2024 (SM) Daniel 9:24 The Seventy Weeks Prophesied in Daniel Tell of the Birth of Christ and of the Last Days. Besides Wars and Weather, Here's a Short List of Heretofore Unknown Inventions or Discoveries Including: AI, Genetic Manipulation, CERN, and Dark Matter. The Solution and Personal Solace for All of These Alarming Threats and Events Is Still--As It Ever Was--Salvation by Faith in Jesus Christ.

Current Events Are Not Armageddon nor the Start of the Tribulation But They Are Precursor of Things to Come. Now, More Than Ever, We Must Stay Vigilant as the New Age Church Will Attempt to Disarm You Spiritually.

Revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 07/28/24 (SM) Revelation 1:1-3 The Word of God Fits In the Progress of Time and Time Has No Control Over God. The Book of Revelation Reveals to Us About the Lord Jesus Christ: He Lives, He's the Savior, He Rules, He Is the Judge, He Is the Almighty, He Is the Lamb of God, He Is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and He Is the Alpha and Omega. Here On Earth Is Where God Deals with the Issue of Sin and the Restoration of Mankind.
I Ain't Comin Down

Casey Kerr 07/28/24 (SN) Nehemiah 6:1 Christians Today Have Become Comfortable with Church and Are Complacent Because of the Convenience of What They Have Allowed Their Church to Be. Christians Need to Realize the Importance of Going to Church, the Importance of the Calling of Jesus Christ, the Importance of Family and the Younger Generation, and They Need to Have Confidence in the Finished Work at Calvary.

Charles Lawson 07/07/2024 (SM) Matthew 23:24-33 Looking At Christ's Attitude Towards Religion, Politics, Demons, Angels, Scripture, Prophecy, His Father, and Sinners. The Lord Jesus Christ Came Not to Condemn but to Save -- He Is a Friend of Sinners. Be Wary of Teachings from Churches That Attack the Deity of Christ or Refer to Jesus as Being Born-Again.

-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 06/30/2024 (SM) Genesis 20:1-4 Abraham Tells a Half-Truth About Sarah Being His Sister, But What Is Not Told Is What Was Abraham's Problem That He Should Lie. God Blesses Through Abraham as He Obeyed By Faith, and We Must Be Dependent on the Lord to Live for Him. The Holy Ghost Intercedes for a Crying Soul and Only God Can Search the Heart to See and to Tell the Inducement for Our Sin.

Charles Lawson 06/30/2024 (SN) Hebrews 13:17 The Bible Is the Word of God; the Godhead Is the Father, the Word--Express Image, and the Holy Spirit. All of Mankind Has Sinned; Man Brought Sin into the World. Hell Is Real--Fear Him Who Can Send You to Hell. Salvation Is a Person--the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ. There Is a Resurrection: a Resurrection of the Saved and a Resurrection of the Lost. And, Jesus Is Coming Again, as He Has Promised.

Tony Hopkins 06/23/2024 (SN) II Samuel 10:18-19
II Samuel 11:1-17
David Withdraws From the Battle to Sin By Coveting Another Man's Wife and Then Tries to Cover Up His Sin. We Must Be Careful What We Set Before Our Eyes. Uriah Demonstrated More Character Than David When He Adamantly Refused to Rest When the Troops Were Engaged in War. In the End, David Receives Correction From God With Humility and Repentance. How We Receive God's Chastisement Is What Truly Matters.
Trusting God's Character
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 06/16/2024 (SM) Job 42:1 Every One of Job's Friends Offered an Answer That Was in No Wise True. When God Himself Finally Spoke, He Asserted His Sovereignty and Redirected the Absolute Answers to Be Only of His Prerogative. Whatever We Might Try to Do for God for Ourselves Is Futile. The Only Valid Course of Action in Existence Is to Seize Upon the Righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Lucas Hickman 06/16/2024 (SN) Luke 10:38-42 Martha Got Caught Up While Serving in the Wrong Spirit But Mary Wanted to Be At Jesus' Feet. Throughout Scripture Getting to the Feet of Jesus Provides Answers and An Intimate Worship with God. At the Feet of Jesus You Can Get Protection, Provision, and Power. As Jesus Washed the Feet of His Disciples; We Must Humble Ourselves and [Spiritually] Wash Each Other's Feet.

Barry McDonald 06/02/2024 (SM) Genesis 5:1-5
Matthew 1:1
We Are All Born Into the Book of the First Man, Adam, Which Is Associated with: Sin, Death, and a Coffin. The Book of the Last Adam, the Lord Jesus Christ, Is Associated with Life Everlasting. Water Put Us In the First Book but Blood Takes Us Out and Once We Are Washed In the Blood Nothing Can Remove Us From the Lord's Book. Hope Begins the Day We Pass From Death to Life.

Injurious to the Church, Yet He Was Sent to Those Same People to Show the Light That He Has Seen on the Road to Damascus. Boldly He Declares That He Was Not Ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, but That It is the Power of God Unto Salvation.

II Timothy 1:5 Recognizing a Number of Mothers from Scripture Emphasizes the Impact a Mother Has on Her Children.

We Must Crucify Our Flesh Because It Does as It Pleases, and We Will Have to Face Accountability at the Judgement Seat of Christ. A Look at a Couple of Old Testament Kings: King Saul and King Uzziah. Both of These Men Are a Type of the Flesh and Had an Issue with Pride.
No Greater Security
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 05/05/2024 (SM) I Corinthians 10:12 Our Salvation Is Dependent Upon the Word of God, and God's Word Is an Extension of His Character. That's Why We Can Have Eternal Security. Meanwhile, God Gives Us Instruction, As Any Father Does; But If We Mess Up, He Gives Us Forgiveness for Christ's Sake. Yet, In His Model Prayer, He Says That If We Forgive Those Who Wrong Us - Then He Will Forgive Us of Our Wrongs to Him. Unforgiveness Toward Another Can Swell into Hatred (Display of the Old Man) and Must Be Handled on A Spiritual Level.

Charles Lawson 05/05/2024 (SN) II Corinthians 3:6 Contrast The Letter of the Law Which Killeth (Is Rigid and at Times Unreasonable) With the Spirit Which Giveth Life (Is Sensitive and Receptive). Examples of This Are: When Jesus Christ Spoke to His Disciples of Eating His Flesh and Drinking His Blood and When Jesus and Some Disciples Were Censured By the Priest For Breaking the Sabbath Because They Gathered Themselves Grain to Eat.

A Time Before Time

Charles Lawson 04/28/2024 (SM) John 1:1-13 Seeing From the Beginning How God Is the Ultimate Sacrifice in John. We Also See the Holiness of God and the Light of God. In the Light of God We See An Altar, We See An Laver, and We See A Table of Shewbread. God's Holiness Is Something We Cannot Bear and Being in the Presence of God Almighty Is A Privilege. When We Become A New Creature in Christ, It Gives Us Access to the Presence of God. Christ Is Our Veil, Our Intercessor; Christ Takes Us Straight to the Father.

Roger Lee 04/28/2024 (SN) Judges 2:16 The Older Generation Dies Out and the Younger Generation Coming Behind Transgresses the Covenant Their Fathers Had with God and Corrupts Themselves, Following Other Gods.

Worship Is Through Faith

Lucas Hickman 04/21/2024 (SN) John 4:23-24 Examples of the Premise That True Worship Is Through Faith (NOT Through Feelings) Are Presented: Abraham with Isaac atop the Mountain; Job upon Learning All His Children Are Dead; and the Woman of Canaan Who Worshiped Jesus Before Christ Granted Healing of Her Daughter. Then, Why We Should Be (Like the Samaritan Woman) Willing to Worship Our Lord God--Eagerly and Openly. Bottom Line: God Is Worthy.

Charles Lawson 04/14/2024 (SM) 2 Corinthians 11:1-4 Just Another Tinge of the Gnostic Taint on Jesus of Old, the Woke Jesus--Touted to the Masses--Is All About How You Feel or What's Going On with You. They Are Heedless of the Weight of Sin and Its Natural Power Over Us Which Jesus Has Checked and Paid For for Us. Rather, They Would Divert the Message of Jesus Totally into Moral and Social Issues: Appealing Strongly to Temporal, Soulish Things and Utterly Neglecting the Spiritual. The Eternal. Matters of the Utmost Importance.

Charles Lawson 04/14/2024 (SN) Matthew 5:1 Writer of Half of the Books of the New Testament: the Apostle Paul Received of God and Developed for the Church's Edification Several New Dispensational Changes and Certain Significant Mysteries--Such As the Mystery of Godliness and the Mystery of Iniquity; the Mystery of the Church, of the Indwelling Christ, and of the Rapture.
Christ Takes Our Sin Away
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 04/07/2024 (SM) Genesis 2:7 Great Men -- Adam, Abraham, Moses -- Could Only Go So Far, and They Only Show Us So Far. Adam Was Created King of the Kingdom of Heaven and of the Kingdom of God (the Earth), but When He Sinned, He Lost the Image of God. Abraham Was a Pilgrim, Never Finding That City. Moses Got to the Top of the Mountain of Nebo, but He Could Not Enter the Promise Land. In All Cases Christ Alone Completely Fulfills the Plan of God.
Dark Side of Humanity
-audio mp3-
Barry McDonald 04/07/2024 (SN) Matthew 27:36 Human Nature Feeds On Dark Things and When Given the Opportunity Our Dark Side Will Come Out. Deception Can Provoke Curiosity and While Curiosity Can Sometimes Be a Good Thing, (If We Seek Out the Matter and Search the Scriptures), Curiosity Seekers Are Usually Not Looking For the Truth. Sitting and Watching Doesn't Change a Person, But Being Called Out and Contacting the Blood and Cross Most Definitely Can.

What If All We Had Was...
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 03/31/2024 (SM) Matthew 1:18 What If All We Had of Jesus Was: His Birth; His Life; His Trial and Rejection; His Curse; or His Death On the Cross. Where Would the Power Lie? If Any of These Were Truly the End of the Story, Then the Story Would Have Ended. Our Lord Jesus Christ Took the Curse of the Earth and Tasted Death for All Men As Our Sacrifice. When He Arose From the Dead; He Sealed His Sinless, Perfect Life and Triumphed Over Death.

Jesus, The Friend of Sinners
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 03/24/2024 (SM) Genesis 4:7 By One Man, Adam, Sin Entered the World. By One Man, Jesus Christ, Hope Came into the World. Sin Bringeth Forth Death, Sin is Deceitful, and Sin Entices. But Jesus Christ is the Friend of Sinners, and He Gives Us Hope and the Promise to a New Life in Him.
Humble Pray Seek

Andy Walden 03/24/2024 (SN) II Chronicles 6:34-42
II Chronicles 7:1-3
The Hardest Thing For Us to Do Is to Humble Ourselves Before God. But We Must Get Humble Before We Pray to Him: Seek Out His Face and Turn From Our Wicked Ways. We've Lost the Power of God as the Evil in the World Becomes More and More Normal. [What Is in Your Temple?]
A Big Step Up

Charles Lawson 03/17/2024 (SM) Hebrews 1:1 Written to the Hebrews, God's Chosen People and Guardians of His Word, to Expound Unto Them the Way of God Completed as Example after Example Demonstrates the Supremacy of the Person, the Performance, the Priesthood and the Promises of the Lord Jesus Christ Over the Law of Moses Which Was the Foreshadowing of Him.
Bent Towards Backsliding
-audio mp3-
Barry McDonald 03/17/2024 (SN) Hosea 11:1-9
Ezekiel 16:1-6
Ephraim Joined Themselves to Idols and Were Bent Towards Backsliding; So God, Who Called Ephraim His First Born, Approaches as a Parent Does to a Child and Goes So Far as to Say, "I Will Love Them No More." Ezekiel Shows God Viewing Ephraim as He First Found Them: Cast Out and Dying in Their Own Blood He Had Compassion, and Just Like a Parent, He Said to Ephraim, "How Shall I Give Thee Up?"
The Battle Rages
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 03/10/2024 (SM) Genesis 3:1 Sin Originated Way Before the Garden of Eden, and the Ways and Wiles of Satan Have Been Elaborated and Honed Through the Ages. Satan Will Be the Adversary to Mankind Until He Is Finally Cast into the Lake of Fire. Overrunning Death and Despair Appall and Confuse Even Believers at Times. To React with Anger Towards God Is Not Uncommon. But, In Whatever Setting We Find Other Distraught Individuals, Let Us Intercede and Minister to Them Even as the Lord Has Shown Grace to Us.
The Heart of a Shepherd
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 03/10/2024 (SN) Psalm 23:1-6 Psalms 22-24 Talk About Christ as the Good, the Chief, and the Great Shepherd. The Good Shepherd Is Willing To Die For His Flock and Protect Them From the Enemy; the Chief Shepherd Restores Our Soul and Feeds His Bishops and Elders; and the Great Shepherd Brings Victory and Allows Us into the Presence of God Through Christ's Righteousness. God Looks Upon Our Heart, Which Is Why David Was Anointed As the King of Israel -- Because He Had the Heart of a Shepherd.

Three Good Samaritans
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 01/28/2024 (SM) John 8:33-51
The Self-Righteous Jewish Leaders Could Think of Nothing More Derisive Than to Call Jesus a Demon-Possessed Samaritan. But, From the Scripture We Read of Several Exemplary Individuals and the Lessons They Illustrate: the Woman At the Well (Gift of God); the Samaritan Leper Who Returned to Jesus (Thankfulness); and the Good Samaritan (Able Minister). The Grace of God Knows No Strangers; It Is A Fountain Head That Will Never Run Dry; and It Is For Everyone.

Hebrews
11:1-6
2 Peter 1:16

 

Peter Pronounced and Jesus Christ Affirmed That the Prophecies of Christ Given in Scripture Are More Certain Proof Than Eyewitnesses of His Contemporaries. Moses Wrote the Law; Your Approach to the Ten Commandments Will Determine Which Way You Go. The Commandments Are a Manifestation of The Lord Jesus Christ. The Ten Commandments Will Not Save You, But the Savior Whom They Reveal Can.

Barry McDonald 01/14/2024 (SM) Micah 7:18-20
Colossians 2:13-14
The Common Denominator Between the Scriptures from Micah and Colossians Is What the Lord Does with Sins That He Has Forgiven. Because We Do Not Forget Like God Does, Satan Will Use Our Past Against Us and "Take Us Fishing" for Sins That Have Already Been Blotted Out By the Lord. When We Are Drawn to Dwell on Past Mistakes -- Remember: No Trespassing and No Fishing.

People Who Need Restoring May: Have a Broken Life, Shipwrecked Faith, Are Running from God, Confused, or Are Finished. In Order To Be a Restorer: (1) One Must Be Accepted by the Disheartened as Genuine; (2) One Must Have Empathy; (3) One Must Be Conscious of Grace Versus Law; (4) One Must Be Patient; and (5) One Must Be There.
Rebuke to the Church of Ephesus
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 01/07/2024 (SN) Revelation 2:1-4 Ephesus Was Commended for the Things They Did Right, Doctrinally. But the Single Rebuke That Jesus Had For Them--That They Had Left Their First Love [for Him]--Was So Serious That Jesus Warned Them: If They Didn't Repent of That, He Would Remove Their Candlestick Out of His Place. And, Anymore--There Is No Church at Ephesus. So, Let Us Examine Ourselves in Temple Baptist Church--That We Do Not Fail to Actively and Persistently Love the Lord Our God Who Has Ardently Loved Us First.

Mary Accepted the Responsibility and Blessedness That Was Bestowed Upon Her. Then Came the Time When She Needed To Know Jesus Only As Her Savior. It Is Important to Remember: (1) Mary Is Not the Queen of Heaven, (2) She Is Not Our Mediator, and (3) She Is Not the Mother of God.

Hell Is a Just Reward For People Like Herod the Great; and Present-Day America Is In a Free Fall For the Same Fate. Salvation Is Nothing Without the Lord Jesus Christ; but We Must First Believe From Our Heart; Which Brings Along Repentance and Humility. If We Are Truly Born-Again There Is A Change In Our Heart and Our Life.

You Know You Have the True Christ If You Believe: (1) God Opened Heaven 2,000 Years Ago and Lived Among Men In the Flesh; (2) He Lived a Sinless, Perfect Life; (3) He Died on the Cross and Rose From the Dead On the Third Day; and (4) Once You Accepted Him, You Changed.

Charles Lawson 10/15/2023 (SN) Genesis 3:14-21 The Study of the Fall of Man Sets the Stage for the Redemption of Man Which Sets the Stage for the Redeemer. So, What Does an Intelligent, Educated Jew Say About Jesus? Or What Might a Karaite Jew Say of Jesus? It All Depends Upon the Authority They Use. Likewise the Muslims. Most Blessedly, by the Authority of Our Bible, We Christians Can Plainly See Him Revealed as Our Precious Lord and Saviour.

Cody Shew 10/08/2023 (SM) Genesis 22:9-14 Abraham's Sacrifice of Isaac Reveals God's Name of Jehovah-jireh; One Who Sees and Provides. The Purpose to Sacrifice Isaac Was to Test Abraham's Faith, the Provision Was That God Himself Will Always Furnish What Is Necessary. The Place Was Significant to Abraham, and Also to David and Solomon, and Was the Site of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. God Saw and Remedied Our Needs, and Before Anything Was -- God Was.

Charles Lawson 09/03/2023 (SM) Deuteronomy 10:12-15 The Responsibility of Man Towards God in the Old Testament Dispensation Was to Fear God by Keeping His Commandments the Best They Could. Starting in the New Testament with John the Baptist, Repentance Becomes Necessary for the Kingdom of Heaven as He Was Preparing Them for the Dispensation of Grace by Faith in the Finished Work of Christ Jesus. The Meeting Between Saul of Tarsus and Jesus Christ on the Road to Damascus Shows That Jesus Can Save An Unlikely One of His Choosing Against All Natural Expectations.

Self-Pity and Mis-answered Prayers Are Not the Only Reasons People Get Mad at God: Sometimes Folks Will Get Mad Because Someone Else Gets Blessed or Because They Are Made to Reap What They've Sown and Then Resent God's Judgement. When You Get Mad, Just Get Over Yourself and Run Back to God.

-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 07/30/2023 (SM) Daniel 12:1-4 Not Only Did One of the Creators of Artificial Intelligence Warns Us That It Can Outpace Us in as Little as Five Years, Daniel Also Warned Us About the Increase in Knowledge. Artificial Intelligence Utilizes Surveillance and Is Not Far from Knowing Everything About Us, Which Could Be Used in the Anti-Christ's World as the Uses Are Endless. AI Is Not Coming; It Is Already Here, and It Is Time to Wake Up.
A Greater Than Solomon Is Here
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 07/30/2023 (SN) Matthew 12:42 Parables Throughout the Book of Matthew Directly Relate to the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.

Time Wasted Away From God

Greg Lentz 07/23/2023 (SM) Luke 15:11-12 Chapter 15 of Luke Has Multiple Parables, Including the Parable of the Lost Son. Satan and the World Both Will Use Us As Long As We Have Something to Give; But Once We Get to the End of That Journey, We Must Have a God-Awakening Moment. Much Like the Father When the Son Returned; Jesus Has an Everlasting Love For Us and Will Meet Us Where We Are.

Barry McDonald 07/16/2023 (SN) II Timothy 4:1-12 Paul Knew That His Time Left on Earth Was Short, So He Made Occasion to Write to His Son in the Faith, to Advise Him and Warn Him. Paul Told Timothy Frankly That Serving in the Ministry Takes a Toll, But He Also Spoke of Where He Has Finished Well and Can Look Forward to a Reward. In Scriptural and in Anecdotal Jargon, Paul Charges Timothy-- Keep a Hold of Your Shield, Don't Drop the Ball!

What Could Thirty-Two Miles Cost You?

Dan Martin 05/28/2023 (SN) Genesis 13:8-13
II Peter 2:6-8
Much Like Lot When He Settled in Sodom and Gomorrah, Modern-Day Churches Are Becoming Desensitized to The World. When We Start Becoming Desensitized We Compromise On Our Stand of Separation; Give Up Our Children to the World; Lose Our Testimony Before Our Family; Lose Our Vision For Souls; and Begin to Linger On Whether the Pleasures of Sin Outweigh the Consequences. We Are Challenged to Stand and Not to Compromise.
The Thick Darkness
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 05/21/2023 (SM) Genesis 2:8-9 The Reason God Put Us Here Is to Have Communion with Him. Our Relationship with God is Built on Who We Are with God and What He is to Us.

The Hebrew Roots Movement
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 05/07/2023 (SN) Deuteronomy 13:4-11 Understanding the Recent Hebrew Roots Movement Which Urges a Return to First Century Judaism. They Forget That the Blessings of Abraham Are Come Through the Promise, and the Law ("Added Later Because of Transgressions") Did Not Come Until Moses - 500 years later. In the Least, the HRM Takes Total Focus From Jesus Christ (Who is Our Passover, Our All-in-All). In Greater Portions, It Inserts Weak and Beggarly Elements That Debase the Simplicity of the Gospel of the Grace of God, Even As First-Century Judaizers Sought to Do.

Dean McNeese 03/26/2023 (SN) Hebrews 13:1 Jacob and David are Both Pictures of Christ's Readiness and Willingness to Forgive Us Of Our Sins.

Foundation For the Antichrist
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 02/26/2023 (SM) Revelation 13:1-4 The Beast of Revelation 13 Is the Antichrist of the End Times Although Antichrists Have Been In All Ages. Agenda 2030, Mentioned by the Prime Minister of Hungary, Lays Out the Blueprint For World Government and Tyranny - Which Neatly Fulfills Prophecy Laid Out in the Bible. All This Leads to the Second Coming of Christ, but It Is Not Fixed in Time: It Is Conditional and Only the Father Knows When.

Belief In A Person
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 01/29/2023 (SM) John 2:1-11 The Gospel of John Is Different from the Other Gospels, for It Is Written Explicitly That "Ye Might Believe." In the Old Testament Law, There Was Grace and Truth and Redemption and Mercy. In the New Testament [in John] Is Introduced a New Factor: That All These Elements Are Now in a Person--the Lord Jesus Christ. And, If Miracles--Even Someone Rising from the Dead--Does Not Convince You--Read the Word of God, for It Is Alive, and It Can Be Taken Into Your Soul and Really Make the Difference.

-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 01/29/2023 (SN) Acts 16:30-31 "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and Thou Shalt Be Saved." But, What Does It Mean "to Believe"? Questions About the Saving of the Thief on the Cross Help Us Cut Away the Clutter and Come to the Pith. So, Simply Put: That Thief Put His Trust in What Jesus Said, and He Was Satisfied; He Said Nothing More. How We Come by Assurance of Our Salvation (Chiefly by Knowing the Lord Jesus).

Rightly Understanding The Bible
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 10/23/2022 (SM) Isaiah 61:1-3 To Rightly Understand The Bible Involves Appropriate Interpretation and Correct Application. A Shining Example of This Is When Jesus Read Only So Much of Isaiah Chapter 61. Similarly, Isaiah 62 and 63 Are Put in Their Proper Settings; and the "Shout of The Lord, the Voice of the Archangel, and the Sound of the Trumpet of God" Correlated to Each of the Three Groups of People Addressed in Scripture--The Church, the Jew/the House of Israel, and the Gentiles at Large.

The Peace of God
-audio mp3-
Sam Ensor 10/23/2022 (SN)

Philippians 4:6-9

Peace Is Not, as World Thinks, the Absence of Conflict. Conflict Abounds, and Spiritual and Moral Warfare Is an Instrument Satan Uses to Spread Hopelessness So That God's People Give Up Spreading the Gospel. But in the Midst of All This Turmoil, You Can Know the Peace of God--But Only After You First Know Peace with God. The Inspiration al Story and Witness of H.G. Spafford.

A Spiritual Confrontation
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 10/09/2022 (SM) I Kings 19:1-3 Jehovah and Baal Had A Spiritual Confrontation on Mount Carmel.

Satan Is Working Hard for a One-World Government. We Ought Not Be Dismayed, But We Need to Keep Looking Up, for Our Redemption Draweth Nigh.
The Simplicity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 10/09/2022 (SN)

I Corinthians 15:1-8
Acts 1:4-5

Most Succinct Summation of the Gospel Is Declared in First Corinthians: Speaking of Jesus' Death, Burial, and Resurrection "According to the Scriptures." While Browsing the Book of Acts from Start to End, We See How This Same Gospel Developed: Always Centered on the Person of Jesus Christ; Different Components Addressed or Refocused. The Positive Result for the Individual? A Personal Testimony.
Day of The Lord

Contemporaries of Jesus, Presages of Today
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 09/25/2022 (SM) John 18:29 Secular Authorities Have Historically Been Indifferent to Religion.

Now, Within the Past Twenty Years, Religious Tributes Are Conspicuously Anti-Christian: Kali on the Empire State Building, Shiva at the Hadron Collider, No-One's-Sure-What at the Gotthard Base Tunnel Opening. Finally, to Understand "Pisteuo"--Translated "Believe" in Both John 3:16 and James 2:19.
What Must We Do To Be Saved
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 09/25/2022 (SN)

Acts 16:30-31
Luke 23:38-43

There Is a Common Misconception that Baptism is Necessary to Become Saved. Looking at the Story of the Thief on the Cross Who Believed in Jesus and Heaven, We See No Baptism Take Place. Yet Jesus Saved His Soul. The Lord Jesus Christ Is Salvation, and to Believe in Him and Trust in Him With Our Heart is the Key to Eternal Life.

The Anointing of David
-audio mp3-
Charles Lawson 09/18/2022 (SM) I Samuel 16:11-13 Contrast the Anointing of David to be King with the Earlier Anointing of Saul. List of the Needy People That Were Drawn to David, and a Separate List of David's Mighty Men. Charisma or Talent Can Catapult a Person to the Top, But It Takes Character to Stay There. Satan's Greatest Weapon Is to Hide the True Character of God in Your Life.
Lost Sight of God
-audio mp3-
Tom Berry 09/18/2022 (SN) II Timothy 3:1-11

These are Perilous Times--NOT Merely "Difficult"! When Men Lose Sight of God, They Go Crazy; and From There, They Will Do Whatever's Right in Their Own Eyes. Church, Preach Redemption Only by the Precious Blood of Christ Jesus. And People, Don't Dare Gamble with Your Eternity: Rather, Be Reconciled to God the [Only] Way He Told in His Word--by His Grace Through Your Faith in Jesus' Sacrificial Death Which Paid the Penalty for Your [for All, for Everybody's] Sin.

-audio mp3-
Bridger Bane 09/04/2022 (SM) Luke 15:11-13 The Younger of Two Sons Was Ungrateful, Disrespectful Towards His Father's Inheritance. He Used All His Money and Substance to Support Living In Sin, Then Had to Enslave Himself To Keep Up With His Habits. As the Son Finally Learns: We Will Never Find Peace in Sin as There is No Limit as to How Deep It Can Send Us.
Next Generation, Now Therefore Arise
-audio mp3-
Bridger Bane 09/04/2022 (SN) Joshua 1:1-9 Moses Is Dead. And Now the Lord Speaks to Joshua, Son of Nun, Moses' Minister: Take the Children of Israel on into the Land Promised to Them.

Greg Lentz 04/03/2022 (SN) Revelations 2:1-5 The Church of Ephesus Seemed Like a Perfect Place of Worship, as It Was a Serving Church, Steadfast Church, and a Separate Church.

We Must: Remember Where We Left Him, Repent to Him, and Return to Him. If We Love God With All of Our Heart, He Will Take Care of Us.
