  • Building On The Rock Series

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 18, 2024

     | 316 views

    Those who heed the message of a false prophet are unwise, building their hope on an unstable foundation. Jesus discusses "doing" vs. "doing his will," as many who proclaim to do works in His name will wind up in hell.

    Our message today picks up where we left off, where Jesus warned us about false prophets who are ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing (cf. Matthew 7:15-20). When I preached from that passage, I began with the fairy tale of “Little Red Riding Hood” and the wolf as our opening illustration. This ...read more

  • Beware Of Ravenous Wolves Series

    Things are not always as they seem; and Jesus shares what to look for in identifying false prophets. These are false teachers, ravenous wolves, who seek to feed and save themselves, rather than feed and protect the flock.

    Allow me to begin with an illustration: As Little Red Riding Hood is heading to her grandmother’s house; a wolf comes along and finds out where she lives. He travels ahead, enters the house, and eats the grandmother! When Little Red Riding Hood arrives, she notices her grandmother’s unusual ...read more

    Session 3: This upload, which is a supplement to Session 2, contains an explanation of all the spiritual gifts, along with examples of where each gift can be used in the life of the church.

    The Gift of Administration (Exodus 18:20-22) The Holy Spirit enables some of us to motivate, direct and inspire God's people in such a way that they voluntarily and harmoniously work together to do the Church's work effectively. To exercise the gift of administration is to assume oversight ...read more

  • The Gifts Are Available Today Series

    Session 2: This second study looks at three more passages on spiritual gifts. It also discusses "the view of cessation" and "the difference between talents and spiritual gifts."

    Last week, we began our study on spiritual gifts by discussing the work of the Holy Spirit. We learned that an individual is filled with the Spirit at the very moment of salvation, when he or she confesses Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. We discovered that the phrase “being filled with the Holy ...read more

  • The Narrow And Difficult Way Series

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Jan 20, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,813 views

    There are two separate gates that lead to two separate ways, or roads. One way leads to blessing and the other way to difficulty. So, which way, or which road, leads to life and blessing? The correct way is Jesus (John 14:6).

    When I was in my twenties, I was an avid cave explorer. Now, I just watch caving videos on YouTube. It is interesting how spelunkers will naturally follow a large wide-open passage first. They will bypass numerous smaller ones, all because the larger one does not involve hunching over or ...read more

  • Ask And You Shall Receive Series

     | 2,407 views

    Jesus tells us how to pray in a way that leads to receiving an answer. We will learn that when we pray according to God’s will, that He hears and answers; but it might not be what we expect. However, it will be exactly what we need.

    This morning, we are going to look at what Jesus has to say about how to pray in a way that leads to receiving an answer. In his song “Good, Good Father,” Chris Tomlin says, “I’ve seen many searching for answers far and wide, but I know we’re all searching for answers only You provide. ‘Cause You ...read more

  • Judge Not, But Discern Wisely Series

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Dec 15, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,042 views

    Jesus warned about the problems associated with criticizing others, and of the need to do some spiritual self-examination before passing judgement. He then said that we need to use discernment when dealing with some people.

    This morning, we are going to look at the problem of judging others. The definition for the word “judge” that applies to our passage means, “to form a judgment or opinion” and to “decide upon critically.”(1) The key word here is “critically,” for when we judge others we are often being “critical” ...read more

  • Receiving The Spirit And Gifts Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 872 views

    Session 1: This introduction to "spiritual gifts" discusses the promise of the Holy Spirit, how and when we receive the Spirit, the meaning of being filled with the Spirit, and the reason why spiritual gifts are given to believers.

    Tonight, we will begin our study on spiritual gifts. Most of us are familiar with Matthew 28:19-20, in which Jesus gave His disciples the Great Commission to “go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ...read more

  • The Appointing Of Deacons

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,371 views

    When the volunteer workload is placed on just a handful of people, these individuals get burnt out; and since they can’t do everything, then a lot of needs go unmet. It is biblical to appoint deacons and train ministry volunteers to assist.

    NOTE: This submission includes in this order: 1. Deacon Ordination Sermon, 2. Deacon Ordination Service, 3. Sermon Footnotes. DEACON ORDINATION SERMON: "The Appointing of Deacons" The term “ordain,” which is often used in Baptist and other Christian circles, never occurs in the New ...read more

  • Therefore, Do Not Worry Series

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Nov 7, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,427 views

    Worry causes us to feel as though we’re gasping for breath and walking around half-dead. Worry zaps our life and drains our strength. In order to have true life in the Lord, we must place all our cares in the hands of Jesus Christ.

    Our primary passage today will be from Matthew chapter 6; but from time to time, I will reference Luke 12:22-32, which is a gospel parallel, or what we might call Luke’s recollection of events. E. Stanley Jones, a missionary to India in the early 1900’s, stated, “I live better by faith and ...read more

  • Correcting Our Double Vision Series

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Oct 13, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,114 views

    This message addresses the problem of spiritual double vision; being focused on the things of God and the things of the world simultaneously. Jesus talks about treasure in heaven or earth; being full or light or darkness; and pursuing God or money.

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Correcting Our Double Vision.” Double vision, according to Yale Medicine, is understood as being when someone sees two of the “same” image instead of one.(1) But today, I want us to think of double vision as seeing two “separate” images at the same time. ...read more

  • The Right Way To Fast Series

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Oct 2, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 918 views

    This message looks at what Jesus has to say about our physical appearance when fasting. The way we present ourselves physically can speak volumes about the inner man. Who are we trying to impress when we fast? Jesus or the people around us?

    I have entitled our message this morning, “The Right Way to Fast.” Jesus both practiced fasting and taught about it; and yet, fasting is something that is often feared and misunderstood. In many Christian circles, you rarely even hear about fasting; and yet, the Scripture mentions it more times ...read more

    Study #12: This study looks at descriptions of the New Jerusalem, including its size, dimensions and inhabitants; discusses the Tree of Life and River of Life; and views the urgent invitation extended to come and join Jesus for all eternity.

    NOTE: This Bible study on the end times comes from the perspective of a pre-tribulation Rapture. Tonight, we will be looking at Revelation 21 and 22, and work toward finishing our Revelation and Endtimes Overview study. This evening’s session will present “a glimpse into eternity.” We will be ...read more

    Study #11: This study examines the Millennial Reign. Satan is bound and believers reign with Christ for 1000 years. Afterward, the devil is released and rises up against the saints in one final deception and rebellion before the Judgment.

    NOTE: This Bible study on the end times comes from the perspective of a pre-tribulation Rapture. Tonight, we will be looking at Revelation chapter 20. We are going to start by examining what happens during the 1000-year period after the battle of Armageddon, by observing how Satan is bound and ...read more

  • The Lord's Prayer Series

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Sep 18, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,575 views

    This sermon is an exposition of "The Lord's Prayer." This prayer is sometimes called “The Model Prayer,” and it is an outline for prayer that all of us, as disciples of Jesus, should seek to follow when coming before the Lord with our petitions.

    In our message this morning, we are going to look at what is called “The Lord’s Prayer.” And I want to get started by sharing how the gospel writer Luke prefaces this prayer. We read in Luke 11:1-2, “Now it came to pass, as [Jesus] was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His ...read more
