Thomaston Baptist Church08-Jul-18 II Corinthians 12:1-10 The Apostle Paul is in deep trouble with the folks in the Christian Church in the city of Corinth. They don’t like him anymore, and maybe they never did. At least not for very long. The Apostle Paul was the one who brought Christianity to Corinth. He came preaching the good […]
24-June-18 I Samuel 18:1-11 The friendship between Jonathan and David has attained legendary status. Almost everyone knows about this famous friendship, and much has been written about it, some of it very complimentary and some of it not so complimentary. In spite of the legendary status of this famous friendship though, most of us […]
17-Jun-18 1 Samuel 17 It is a kid’s story. Most of us learned about David and Goliath when we were in Sunday School. It is a story about a young lad who defeated a menacing giant against all odds. It is a story about bravery and heroism, and it taught us as little kids not […]
10-Jun-18 II Corinthians 4:7-18 Not many of us here this morning would describe a particularly horrible time of suffering in our lives as a slight momentary affliction. In fact very few of us would ever describe any kind of suffering that we have endured as a slight momentary affliction. I don’t think it would […]
13-May-18 Acts 2:1-21 I have a feeling that if some strangers happened to show up unannounced in one of our worship services one bright Sunday morning, that the one conclusion that they would probably never come to is that we are all drunk. We might look a little sleepy, but we certainly wouldn’t look like […]
06-May-18 1 John 5:1-5 From time to time, a good thing for us to do is to check our identity. Usually when we think of making an assessment of our identity, the first question that arises is, “Who am I in this world? Where do I fit in this big, round chunk of rock that […]
29-Apr-18 Acts 8:26-40 Psalm 22, which was our Call to Worship this morning, includes rather notably, some gory details that could, with not a whole lot of imagination, be applied to the physical characteristics of a Roman crucifixion. When David the psalmist penned those words, we knew nothing of the Romans and he knew nothing […]
22-Apr-18 John 10:11-18 I think I have finally figured out how to explain our culture. And I am pretty sure that there is no secret to it at all. It has been inside my computer all along, even though I have only just recently noticed it. I now know what it is that interests us, […]
15-Apr-18 Luke 24:13-49 I sometimes wish that the disciples of Jesus were brighter people, especially when it comes to understanding and accepting Jesus’ resurrection from the dead. In the Gospels, they are portrayed as being frightfully dull and terribly unimaginative. They don’t seem to realize that Jesus is alive, even when he confronts them face […]
08-Apr-18 Acts 4:32-5:11 Mention the word “communism”, and the word “godless” is almost immediately attached to it. “Godless” and “communism” go together almost as well as peas and carrots. The two are nearly inseparable. I think that this is especially true for people who are in my generation, or perhaps a tad older. When I […]
