The Apostle James contains very strong language about our prayer life. He relates specific reasons why we are sometimes disappointed in the Lord, when the problem actually lies within ourselves. Truly, there can never be anything about the Lord that disappoints. In this message, I look at this subject that impacts our prayer life. http://www.bethle…

1 Corinthians 11:17–26By Kenny Stokes

It is incredible to think that anyone could misunderstand the simple teachings of Christ. Sadly, so many did. In this message, Brother Luke looks at the reasons why so many did not see what was happening or understand what was being taught by Jesus, when it was all so clear and simple. This is an affliction that can affect any of us, if we stop fil…

Nowadays, just leading a quiet and peaceful life of serving the Lord, is radical. If we want to live such a life, we need a Biblical view of citizenship and government. In the vicious politics of today, the party system would have us believe that one man or woman is the answer to all problems. In this message, I look at how disciples of Christ shou…

Have you ever wondered about angels? What they really are? What is their purpose? How do they look? In this message, Brother Luke looks at the subject of angels and answers many questions about them. Our modern idea of a cute little pudgy baby with wings, sitting on a mantle, is not even remotely close to the true identity of angels. http://www.bet…

Our God is a festive God. He loves to celebrate righteousness. We even get the word holiday from the Lord’s holy-days. In the OT, He instigated festivals and holy-days to encourage celebrations of Him. In Isaiah, He speaks of a new festival that was coming, one like never before. In this message, I look at that celebration that was foretold. http:/…

When Christ was on the earth, He used simple examples to make profound points. On one occasion, when the Pharisees were questioning who He was spending time with, the Lord made an incredible example about the great value of His children to Himself. In this message, Brother Luke looks at this topic. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/uploads/202…

The standard bearer, or flag bearer, was an important figure in ancient warfare. The person designated to bear the standard of the army was not only a rallying point but also a target. In this message, I look at how the scripture teaches that Christ is our Standard Bearer. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/08.04.24.Our_.Standar…

Even when a nation is degrading from within, there is always hope. That hope is found in the righteous living of disciples. In the second message of a series preached at Bethlehem, Brother Luke looks at the hope given by the Lord in spite of the terrible conditions of a culture. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/08.04.24.Signs_…

Mocked and hated by his brothers, sold into slavery at age 17, carted away to a foreign land, wrongfully accused and imprisoned – Joseph’s life is a testament of anguish and disappointment. But when he ascended to 2nd in command in Egypt and was blessed with 2 sons, he named them interesting names – Forgetful and Fruitful. In this message, I look a…

When something degrades it breaks down and deteriorates. If you leave a sandwich laying on the counter for a week, there are obvious signs it has degraded. The Lord describes the signs of a degraded nation in Isaiah 3. In this message, Brother Luke looks at these signs of degradation as they apply to a society like ours today. http://www.bethlehemp…

Date setting the return of Jesus is misleading and inappropriate. Sadly, many have tried that through the years. But looking at signs and seasons of His coming was taught by Jesus Himself. In this Wednesday night message, I look at 7 signs of the second coming of Jesus. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/07.24.24.7.Signs_.of_.Hi…

Judges 17-18By Hopson Boutot

In some of the easiest to understand, inspired scripture, the Apostle of love makes a profoundly simple and simply profound statement. Even a child can understand that we love God because He first loved us. Just like children are loved by their parents before they love them back, so God loves us first. In this message, I look at the subject – we lo…

Satan has many descriptions in the Bible. One of those is the strong man. Christ refers to the devil in this way. The only way to overpower a strong man is by a stronger one. In this message Brother Luke teaches about how Christ is the stronger Man Who overpowers Satan. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/07.14.24.The_.Stronger.M…

If God says something is better, then it must be better. If He says someone is special, then they are special just because the Lord says so. This is not a trip for our pride, but a call to humility. If God did not make us special by His own work, we would be without hope. In this final message preached at Wilson Creek PBC, I look at this subject. h…

When we bring God down to our level to feel like we have him figured out, we lose sight of His magnificence. But seeing God as He is, will baffle us. The sovereignty of God and the reality of our need for using faith, can only truly be glimpsed by acknowledging that He is the God of all possibilities. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content/uploads/…

This message was preached by Elder Chris McCool, pastor of Zion PBC, at a Wednesday night service. Jesus caused a great upheaval, or shaking, when He came the first time and entered His temple. That first shaking, as amazing as it was, preceded the next great shaking of the universe, when He returns to take all of His children home. http://www.beth…

In this message preached at Wilson Creek PBC near Smyrna, TN, I look at the subject of “Going Places We Should Not Go.” With the backdrop of David’s devastating decision to leave the land of Israel and go into the land of the enemy, we can see clearly there are places we should not go as disciples of the Lord. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content…

This message was preached at Blooming Grove Primitive Baptist Church near Sulligent, AL, on 6/29/24. Having been newly constituted as a Primitive Baptist Church, Elder Chris McCool and I were invited to preach their first communion meeting. The church house was full, and many had to sit in the fellowship hall. http://www.bethlehempbc.org/wp-content…
