Dear Pastor and Brethren Sunday Service Numbers The first Sunday the Lord sent us nine persons to attend the service. The second Sunday the Lord sent us eight people as well as on the third Sunday. The fourth Sunday we had seven in attendance and the fifth Sunday we...

Essential Service – John 16:1-11

Oct 27, 2024 | Sunday Morning

When I was a child, every once in a while I’d see someone who was blind, walking down the street with the help of his seeing-eye dog. Sixty-years ago, that was about the only “Service animal” I’d ever see. But today, things are very different. We can hardly go to the...

October 27 in Baptist History

Oct 24, 2024 | This Sunday in Baptist History

History tells us that Thomas Goold was used of the Lord to establish the first Baptist church in Boston. It also says that Brother Goold died on this day in 1675. That little body of believers was persecuted by the colonial government and its officially-recognized...

Jesus and His Bible – Matthew 4:4-10

Oct 24, 2024 | Wednesday

I hope you are reasonably familiar with the Old Testament prophecies about the Lord Jesus Christ. I’ve never counted them, but I have read that there are 333 such prophecies. I remember that because it is such a symmetrical and easily remembered figure. Beyond the...

The Dimensions of God’s Love – Ephesians 3:14-19

Oct 20, 2024 | Sunday Evening

I am looking at this theme today because in the love of God we have one of the Lord’s superlatives. There is no more powerful love than God’s love. Nearly all love originates in God’s love. And those for whom the Lord has a special love, He cannot fail to bless for...

Chickens, Children and Citizens – Matthew 23:37

Oct 20, 2024 | Sunday Morning

Let’s begin by calling Him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus – the baby born in Bethlehem Judah; the child raised in Nazareth Galilee – was the most divisive person in Israel in His day. He was completely polarizing. Very few people in the days of Herod and Pilate had no...

October 20

Oct 18, 2024 | This Sunday in Baptist History

William Ward was born on this day in 1769.  In the spring of 1793, his cart got in front of his horse, so to speak.  Ward, who was living in Derby at that time, had become a printer.  One day William Carey providentially happened to come up beside the young man...

Prayer: Let’s Keep it Biblical – Matthew 6:9-15

Oct 17, 2024 | Wednesday

Several years ago, in my reading, I heard an author utter three words on prayer without making any explanation or development. They struck me, so I jotted them down in my sermonic notebook, where they have been sitting ever since. Looking through that notebook on...

Faith and Force – I Samuel 17:45

Oct 13, 2024 | Sunday Evening

Rarely, but once in a while, I preach from an outline which is not original to me. I purposed years ago, to be honest with you and to tell you when I feel led of the Lord to share another man’s message or outline. This is one of those occasions. I was blessed earlier...

Profound and Problematic – Psalm 9:1-10

Oct 13, 2024 | Sunday Morning

I have no idea how many people in Central Florida are repeating the words of this Psalm today. David said, “I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.” The CHRISTIANS who have suffered through Hurricanes Helene and...
