I often refer to Shubal Stearns, as I did last Sunday. It is because he was an extremely important man when it came to the evangelization and the establishment of Baptist churches in the South. Stearns was saved during the Great Awakening under George Whitefield. He...

The Messenger of the Covenant – Malachi 3:1-6

Nov 11, 2021 | Wednesday

Let’s have a study about studying the Bible this evening. Our subject is actually “The Messenger of the Covenant.” But let’s use that to consider some of the ingredients in studying God’s Word. I rarely ever do this, but I’d like you to empty your minds for a few...

The Messenger of the Messenger – Malachi 3:1

Nov 9, 2021 | Sunday Evening

The Baptists in early Virginia often suffered physical pain and imprisonment in order to preach the gospel of Christ to the lost, but this kind of persecution was not always the most painful. The scorn and ridicule they endured often left more scars. On this day...

Squandered Squash and Wasted Watermelon – Malachi 2:11-13

Oct 10, 2021 | Sunday Morning

A few of you are familiar with the “God Father” movies. I won’t point any fingers. I can’t point any fingers. In the midst of much disturbing material in that series, there was one which particularly bothers me. The leaders of the Corleone family were outwardly very...

William Duncan was born in Amherst County, Virginia, in the year of this country’s birth. His father was a highly respected Baptist pastor, but it wasn’t until William’s twentieth year that he was converted to Christ. Immediately he began growing in the things of the...
