The Impossibility of Neutrality 18:42

2h ago18:42

18:42

We welcome you this morning to our Sunday worship service from Ocean Lakes Family Campground in Myrtle Beach, SC. Some of the most interesting and fascinating Bible stories are often hidden away in books or chapters that we often overlook. This is the case with Amaziah, whose story is told in the Old Testament book of 2 Chronicles. If you are where…

Jesus and the Way 14:12

2d ago14:12

14:12

We welcome you this morning to our Sunday worship service from Ocean Lakes Family Campground in Myrtle Beach, SC. Now that the celebration of Easter is gone (although Christians celebrate the resurrection EVERY Sunday), let's turn our attention to a follow-up of last Sunday. Those early followers of Jesus - - what were they called? Yes, the word "C…

Resurrection: Fact or Fiction? 21:40

9d ago21:40

21:40

And a Happy Easter Sunday to you! Easter has arrived early this year, and the calendar says that Spring is already here also. On this Easter Sunday, I would like you to think with me about a subject which some people have wondered about for many years. Today we are celebrating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, but did it really happen? Is th…

The Meaning of the Cross 22:22

17d ago22:22

22:22

Last Sunday in the morning message, the attempt was made to answer the question, *What Is the Cross?" We must admit that there is absolutely no way in which any person can fully understand or try to explain what the cross of Jesus means. So this morning we are going to try again to approach basically the same question of last Sunday. But today, let…

What Is the Cross? 17:32

29d ago17:32

17:32

Have you ever noticed on TV or some other media outlet how many of the people you see are wearing a cross? That caught my attention recently when I was watching a program which was primarily political in nature. Why do people wear a cross? Is it to identify with the Christian faith, or is it just because it is an attractive ornament to wear around …

Jesus is Lord 16:11

1M ago16:11

16:11

Valentine's Day is past for this year, along with all the sweet expressions of love found on cards and other places. If I were to ask you what three little words were most often found on greeting cards, whether it is for Valentine's Day or for some other special occasion, what would those three little words be? You got it! 'I love you." There are t…

Majoring on Minors 22:10

2M ago22:10

22:10

Everybody knows that we are all here on this earth for only a limited time; we are not here to stay. We will all eventually die, unless the Lord comes back first. Well, suppose you knew that your time would be up in about one week. What message would you want to leave behind for your loved ones? This is exactly what Jesus faced, and today we are go…

Profession or Practice? 20:14

2M ago20:14

20:14

The sermon this morning begins with some well-known words from the poet, Edgar Guest: "I'd rather see a sermon than to hear one any day ..." Surely we all would agree with those sentiments, even the greatest preacher would have to say "Amen" to that also. But where do we go to SEE a sermon? Is this talking about a sermon on TV, or does it refer to …

What is "Love"? 24:15

2M ago24:15

24:15

Today we are blessed again to have a guest minister to bring the sermon. He is Rev. Rich McLawhorn, who, along with his wife, Jody, are regular attenders at our worship services each week here at Ocean Lakes. Last Sunday Rev. McLawhorn clarified many false ideas being discussed in our decaying culture about what is called "love." Today he will foll…

Justification by Faith 18:44

2M ago18:44

18:44

For the past several Sundays we have been thinking together on some of the basics of our Christian faith. We have explored the meaning of that big word, "Regeneration," or as Jesus told Nicodemus, "You must be born from above" - a new kind of birth. Then we asked the question, "How Can I Be Sure I Am a Christian?" Last Sunday we dealt with the prob…

Monday Morning Christianity 20:38

3M ago20:38

20:38

Have you ever known a person who, to all outward appearances, was a fine, upstanding, wonderful Christian, as you observed that person in church on Sundays? All is well when you see how loving, kind, and active that one is, but when you have some dealings with that person during the week, you would think that you have an entirely different person. …

How Can I Be Sure I Am a Christian 20:38

3M ago20:38

20:38

If you were to walk down the street and ask the average person, "Do you think you'll go to heaven when you die?" you might get a variety of answers. But suppose you were in a church somewhere and you asked someone, "How can you be sure you are a Christian? You might get an equal mixture of answers. Is it presuming on God to say, "Yes, I am a Christ…

Regeneration 20:38

3M ago20:38

20:38

The title of today's message is "Regeneration." You may be quick to ask, "What could be more boring, less interesting, than a subject like that?" This word is one that preachers sometimes throw around in sermons, and it sounds very intelligent, scholarly, and very theological - - but what does it mean, and how can this be something that I need to b…

Christmas Gifts 6:05

3M ago6:05

6:05

As we think about the subject for today, looking back at this past Christmas, I want ask two questions: What did you GET for Christmas? The second question is "What did you GIVE someone for Christmas?" We often think of gifts we have received, but what about what we have given? Jesus said that it is more blessed to give than to receive, and so as w…

Wise Men and Shepherds 19:13

4M ago19:13

19:13

We welcome you to our worship service today from Ocean Lakes Family Campground in Myrtle Beach, S.C. On this final Sunday in the year 2023, we look backward over the events of the Christmas celebration and take one look at two groups of people who are important for us before we close this chapter. These are the Wise Men and the shepherds. They each…

Ready for Christmas? 14:30

4M ago14:30

14:30

Can we believe that Christmas for another year has already arrived? Tomorrow is that special day when we celebrate the birth of our Savior. Are we ready for this? That's the subject of today's message, and the implication is that being ready means much more than is ordinarily thought of. All of us here at Ocean Lakes wish and pray that all our list…

The Holy Child of Bethlehem 18:47

4M ago18:47

18:47

For the past two Sundays, we have been thinking about two people who were very important parts of the Christmas story: Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Joseph, the earthly father. Today our subject is "The Holy Child of Bethlehem" and this is the central person in the entire story. Our scriptural basis for today is Luke, chapter 2. Let's look at the …

In Honor of Mary 16:56

4M ago16:56

16:56

Last Sunday we centered our thoughts on "The Forgotten Man at Christmas." Today we turn our thoughts to another person in the Christmas drama, but this person is far from forgotten. No, once again, we're not thinking about Jesus, but rather at the other earthly parent of our Lord. It is Mary, the mother of Jesus. What was it like to give birth to t…

The Forgotten Man at Christmas 17:19

5M ago17:19

17:19

Have you ever had the terrible experience of realizing all too late that you had forgotten to send someone a Christmas card, or even forgotten to get that person a gift, when all the while you had fully intended to do so? Christmas is a time when we realize that we may have forgotten some very important things or people in our lives. The sermon tod…

Getting Ready for Christmas 19:04

5M ago19:04

19:04

We welcome you to our worship service today from Ocean Lakes Family Campground in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Are you ready for Christmas? Well, that's a bit early to be asking that question, isn't it? What will "getting ready for Christmas" mean for you? It surely should be more than just getting all the gifts bought, wrapped, and put under the tree. More …

Giving Thanks and Living Thanks 18:09

5M ago18:09

18:09

Can you believe that Thanksgiving Day is only a few days away? This day has been a tradition in America for quite a few years now. This morning we will look at a few of our origins of this day and then turn our attention to the real reason for the day, which is not only "giving thanks" but also "living thanks." If we do both of these -- giving and …

The Age of Paradox 17:36

5M ago17:36

17:36

Have you ever heard the expression, “We’re living in quite a day! The world has gone to the dogs.” That sounds very pessimistic, but that observation is not new at all. Hundreds of years ago a man named Peter preached a sermon in which he called for people to “save yourselves from this crooked world.” His sermon is recorded in the Book of Acts in t…

How Can We Believe (In Life After Death)? 18:48

5M ago18:48

18:48

Have you ever thought what it would be like to die? Well, that's not a very pleasant question, is it? Do we just float away into nothingness? Do we see a bright light at the end of the tunnel? Is this life on earth all that there is? There are many different opinions as to what happens to us when we die. Christians say that there is life after deat…

How Can We Believe? (In the Church) 16:44

6M ago16:44

16:44

A popular opinion among many people today, including many people who have their names on the role of some church, is that the organized church has seen its day. It is now time to discard the church as we know it. While many might not be so bold as to say this, the actions of millions of people in America, as well as elsewhere, would indicate that t…

How Can We Believe (That One Religion Is as Good as Another) 16:06

6M ago16:06

16:06

Have you ever heard the expression, "All roads lead to heaven; it doesn't make any difference which road you take. They all lead to the same place." This is a popular opinion which many people today have, but is it really true? Is everybody going to end up in heaven, just as long as they are on "some road?" There is a similar question that is the s…

How Can We Believe? (What the New Testament Says About Jesus) 18:30

6M ago18:30

18:30

Unless you've been "living under a rock" for a while, you will be aware that some recent news outlets have reported amazing archeological discoveries which they say prove the accuracy of portions of the Bible. Can we trust these reports? What about the person called Jesus? Was He an actual person, or is He like some fairy-tale person? Today we are …

How Can We Believe? (That God Answers Prayers) 21:28

6M ago21:28

21:28

One of the most universal spiritual experiences that human beings have is that of prayer. Even the proverbial "atheist in a foxhole" may cry out to God in a time of crisis. Prayers are offered at public gatherings, such as in a church service, or even in civic or political meetings. A saintly Christian mother may pray daily for a wayward child. But…

How Can We Believe? (That Jesus Really Meets Our Needs) 24:21

7M ago24:21

24:21

Today we continue our series of messages on the general subject of "How Can We Believe?" Last Sunday we asked, "How can we believe in a loving God, in a world of suffering?" Today is somewhat of a follow-up of where we were a week ago. We all have challenges that face us, whether they are physical in nature (illness) or maybe in some other manner, …

How Can We Believe? (In a Loving God, in a World of Suffering) 20:03

7M ago20:03

20:03

We welcome you to our worship service today from Ocean Lakes Family Campground in Myrtle Beach, S.C. When we hear about a person who has been stricken with a terrible disease, maybe even a life-threatening illness or a terminal sickness, our hearts go out to that person. And if that illness causes the person to have to endure great suffering which …

How Can We Believe? (That Everything Is Going to Work Out All Right) 17:01

7M ago17:01

17:01

Have you ever found yourself in a tight situation, "in hot water," and someone comes to you trying to help? Some of these well-meaning friends may be somewhat like Job's "comforters" in the Old Testament; they are more of a hurt than a help. One of the worn-out, trite expressions we hear in hard times is "Everything is going to work out all right."…

How Can We Believe? (In God, in a Scientific Age) 18:52

7M ago18:52

18:52

For several Sundays here at Ocean Lakes our thinking has been on the general subject of faith and how we as Christians can have a firm faith on which to stand in these difficult days that surround us. Today we are beginning a series of messages, all on the subject of "How Can We Believe?" Today, the question is "How Can We Believe" (In God, in a Sc…

Evidences of Our Faith 17:06

If a law-enforcement person, a coroner, medical examiner, or some other person of authority were to be called to a crime scene, one of the duties which would occupy their time and efforts would be to gather all the evidence possible about that situation. We have been thinking together for the past several Sundays about the subject of "Faith." Is th…

Top Priority - #2 10:05

8M ago10:05

10:05

Those of you who listen regularly to our podcast heard me say last Sunday that the subject of the sermon was "Top Priority." But if you stayed with me till the end of the message, you also heard me say that I didn't finish all I had planned to say. So - today's subject is "Top Priority - # 2." We will pick up right where we left off last week, as w…

Top Priority 14:49

What is the most important thing in your life? Is it your job, your house, your automobile, a special friend, your family, your clothes, your health, the money you have accumulated? Or maybe something else? If everything were to be taken from you except the one thing you cherish most, what would you want to keep? The answer to that would be what yo…

Faith That Faces Trouble 21:47

9M ago21:47

21:47

Last Sunday we concluded our series of messages on the subject of faith. However, today we are going to extend that subject by one more Sunday, as our topic this morning is "Faith That Faces Trouble." Last Sunday, we recalled the words of The Apostle Paul in his letter to the Ephesians, "Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.." God's…

Faith That Withstands 17:05

9M ago17:05

17:05

Today we conclude our series of messages on the subject of faith. Every person in the world, whatever our place may be, needs a firm faith in God to face trials that come to us. The Apostle Paul wrote to the Ephesians, "Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might ... that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, t…

Faith That Saves 14:25

9M ago14:25

14:25

Last Sunday we continued our series of messages on the subject of faith, as we looked at some kinds of faith that are not good enough to save us, to put us in a right relationship with God. We mentioned things like blind, unreasonable faith, misplaced faith, and just "faith" - period as not being sufficient to save us. Admittedly, that sounded a bi…

Faith That Does Not Save 17:33

9M ago17:33

17:33

Last Sunday we began our series of messages on the general subject of faith. We will begin today's message with a quote from the poet, Edgar Guest, who says "And only he may stand serene/who has a faith on which to lean." That's true, and we all can probably agree with that idea. But did you know that there is a kind of faith which does NOT save us…

We welcome you to our worship service today from Ocean Lakes Family Campground in Myrtle Beach, S. C. Today we are beginning a short series of messages on the general subject of faith.

Today our podcast will be somewhat different from many others we have presented before. Since this Tuesday is July 4th, the day when we celebrate our nation's independence, I want to use this time to share with you some words of tribute to our nation and to its founders. As we approach this special day in our nation, our prayer is that we may all c…

Suppose you bought a lottery ticket, and when the winning number was announced, you discover that it is your ticket. You won the lottery! But let's say that you are the ultimate procrastinator, and you never get around to claiming what you have won! To use another example, let's say that you have a rich uncle who dies and leaves you $50 million, bu…

Drum-Major Desires 18:12

10M ago18:12

18:12

Last Sunday we gave our attention in the sermon to the subject, "Ride the Wild Horses." Now today the title is "Drum-Major Desires." There is actually a connection between these two sermons, but it is not obvious just from hearing the titles. And so today we are building on the foundation of what we considered last Sunday. If you haven't heard the …

Here we are in the middle of May, and the crowds are already beginning to come to the beach for summer vacations. Locals express their feelings about this influx with mixed emotions - - happy to see friends they haven't seen for a while, merchants getting more revenue - - but also dislike of the number of cars everywhere. Road rage on the highways …

Young preachers who are in school, intending to make their life's work that of Christian ministry, are encouraged to take a course called "homiletics."
