Thomaston Baptist Church18-Oct-15 Job 38 How many of you like the movie, “The Wizard of Oz?” It’s OK this time to put your hands up, it’s not like I’m asking you if you sinned this week or not…OK, how many of you sinned this week? With the “Wizard”, you either like it or not. Some people have […]
04-Oct-15 Hebrews 4:14-16 This is not an easy world in which to live. And it never has been. We certainly wish that this was not true, but it is. We yearn for a life of ease and pleasure, and even if we manage to attain it, we are never quite satisfied, especially when it comes […]
27-Sept-15 James 5:13-20 Is any among you suffering? If ever there was a rhetorical question, that certainly is it. Of course there is someone suffering. At any given time, in every Christian fellowship, someone is going to be having an awfully rough time of it. Suffering seems to be the universal lot of all human […]
20-Sept-15 James 3:13-18 When I first looked at this passage, the first thing that occurred to me was that it might be a waste of time to preach a sermon on it. And that’s because none of us, myself included, have any of the spiritual defects that James writes about in this handful of verses. […]
30-Aug-15 Mark 6:45-52 He intended to pass them by. In the Gospel of Mark, this is the second time that the disciples have been in trouble in a boat. And quite frankly, that’s somewhat ironic. The disciples are fishermen by trade; they are experts in boatsmanship. They’ve got skills and experience that should keep them […]
23-Aug-15 John 6:22-35 The picnic is over. It happened while I was on vacation. But that’s OK. Most of us know about the picnic anyway. And so this morning, we are looking at the aftermath of the picnic, and things aren’t looking all that great for Jesus. It seems that he has suddenly dropped in […]
09-Aug-15 John 6:48-59 It would be better for us if we did not have to think about it. In fact, it is so offensive, that after Jesus uttered these words, many of his followers abandoned him. The thought of having to eat this man’s flesh and drink his blood was too strange, too bizarre and […]
02-Aug-15 2 Samuel 11:26-12:7a Most of us, I think, are fairly familiar with the treachery and conniving that King David engaged in, in order to secure a new love interest for himself. The story of David and Bathsheba is a complicated account of lust gone wrong in just about as many ways as possible. It […]
26-Jul-15 Ephesians 3:14-21 From time to time, the Apostle Paul says something very practical and very understandable. When that happens, it is usually something that we can stick our teeth into, chew on it like good, healthy food, and ultimately have our lives transformed by it. This isn’t one of those passages. At other times, […]
12-July-15 2 Samuel 6 What we’re looking at this morning is a grand celebration gone sour. The Ark of the Covenant, which had long been forgotten and neglected, is finally coming home to gain a place of prominence among God’s people. And so a big parade is planned to bring the Ark home, with the […]
