Thomaston Baptist Church03-Apr-16 John 20:19-31 They’re safe and secure, but they’re also miserable. It is evening of Easter Day, and the disciples have walled themselves into the upper room where they celebrated the Passover with Jesus just before he was arrested. The doors of the room are locked, because the disciples are living in fear that they […]
13-Mar-16 John 12:1-8 One of the things that we quickly learn when we study the Gospels, and when we focus on the lives of Jesus’ disciples, is that quite frequently, not all of them get it. Sometimes it seems like that in spite of all of the time that they have spent with Jesus traveling […]
06-Mar-16 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 Bring up the name of Jesus any place but in a church and you’re apt to hear a variety of opinions about the man. You might hear, “Oh, he never existed. He is merely the figment of some well-meaning but over-active imaginations”. Or you might hear something a little more charitable […]
28-Feb-16 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 The escape from Egypt, or the Exodus from Egypt, tends to be a common theme that shows up in the Scripture passages that we focus on during Lent. And that’s because as we move toward Easter and the triumphant salvation event that we celebrate at Easter, it does us some good, […]
21-Feb-16 Philippians 3:17-4:1 Sometimes when we read our Bibles through the filters of our very modern minds, we tend to squirm a little bit. From a very modern perspective, sometimes the things that we read in our Bibles might seem to be a bit off, or a little hinky, or sometimes downright wrong. And I’d […]
14-Feb-16 Luke 4:1-13 So far, things have been going pretty well for Jesus. He’s just been baptized by John the Baptizer, there was a tremendous confirmation of his divine Sonship at his baptism, it was a holy and sacred moment for all who may have witnessed it, and he’s now full of the Holy Spirit. […]
07-Feb-16 Exodus 34: 29-34 Sometimes when God is dealing with human beings, it takes a couple or more times to get it right. We sort of know this from our own lives. Oftentimes when God is trying to get our attention, we ignore at least the first attempt, and some of us have gotten so […]
31-Jan-16 Luke 4:16-30 The sermon was fine. It was just what happened afterward that caused things to go down hill so quickly. Jesus has returned to his home town of Nazareth, and its the Sabbath, and so he has gone to the local synagogue to attend the service. Luke tells us that this was his […]
24-Jan-16 1 Corinthians 12:12-31 Once in a great while, I start to fantasize about how grand it might be to go back to the first century church. There are some really awesome things about the early church that would be wonderful to return to, but there are also some really terrible things about the early […]
10-Jan-16 Acts 8:9-24 Our passage this morning is really a wonderful story about the growth of the Gospel in the very early, brand new church. At the time of our passage, the Christian Church is only a few months old. And in those few short months, with the help of the power of the Holy […]
