Believe; To credit upon the authority or testimony of another; to be persuaded of the truth of something upon the declaration of another, or upon evidence furnished by reasons, arguments, and deductions of the mind, or by other circumstances, than personal knowledge.

There is just no easy solution to loneliness and feeling discarded, rejected and defeated. Emotional pain is worse than anyone who has been through it can explain. We also have to recognize that others may have serious health issues and if they are left alone, that has to speak of misery as well as… Continue

This is a study of Gods Word concerning the source; importance; meaning; and application of the teachings about Love.



The verses from Mat 22:34-40 and the first three verses of I Cor 13 (together) had been on my mind for some time before I attempted to prepare this study. It seemed like the Lord would not let me rest with the relevance of this subject in relation to the teachings of the church.



While you will find many loving churches that teach subjects relating to love,… Continue

“Jesus Choice should be our Choice”



Mat 27:34 They gave him wine to drink mingled with gall. And, after tasting it, he was unwilling to drink.



What an amazing scripture, Jesus beaten, bloodied, slapped, shamed, and His dignity removed, still chose for our sakes, not to hold us accountable in bitterness and unforgiveness for our sins. If you call yourself a Christian and live the life, then you also have been brutalized in one fashion or another, by so called well meaning… Continue

INTRODUCTION:



Allow me to set the stage for you. Jacob had not seen his brother, Esau, in a long time and he was very apprehensive about their meeting.

“You Must Be Born Again”

John 3:1-13

Good morning and welcome to “Old Fashioned Sunday” here at First Baptist Church. Our special guest who was scheduled to speak had an emergency situation arise at his church and he could not be with us this morning. I don’t think it an accident that we come to the subject “You Must Be Born Again” in our study of the book of John. There is no message that is more “old fashioned” yet more relevant to our day.

What would you say if I were… Continue

Scriptural Readings:



Ephesians 5:15-18, Psalms 14:1, I Timothy 4:1-2

I Peter 1:16.

Believing is essential for everyone. Believe it or not, deciding is the most time-consuming part of our lives. We base our decisions on what is true.

Do You Have Peace? Matthew 5.9

Peace, peacemaking, peacekeeping. We have talked all around it, but now I must ask you a question:

Do you have inner peace?

In all honesty, I can say that for the most part, I have peace~

~in my heart ~in my soul ~in my mind ~and usually in my body.

Yesterday, my peace was tested, so I can say that it is so. I had a Rudyard Kipling moment … several of them actually! “If you can keep your head when all about you are losing…
