Thomaston Baptist Church02-Feb-20 I Corinthians 1:18-31 We live in a pretty bizarre world, and we have learned to expect almost anything to come our way if the topic of faith comes up in our conversations. But generally, for the most part, I think it is safe to say that most people try to do their best to […]
26-Jan-20 I Corinthians 1:10-19 They weren’t paying much attention to the gospel. Instead, they’d gotten themselves wrapped up in a fight. I suppose we could say that this was the beginning of a long and inglorious tradition. Churches have been fighting for over two thousand years, and in spite of what the Apostle Paul counsels […]
19-Jan-20 I Corinthians 1:1-9 There are days when my sincere desire is to end it all in the same way that the Apostle Paul had hoped to end it. He looked forward, with deep and eager anticipation, to our Lord’s return, and he believed, with all of his heart that he would witness that return […]
17-Nov-19 Philippians 4:4-9 “Whine and complain in your miserableness; again I will say, Whine and complain. Let your abrasiveness be known to everyone. There is no God. Worry and fret about everything. With obnoxious speech, and with demanding self-centeredness require that everyone be afflicted with the tales of your woe. And ungodly, demonic terror, which […]
09-Jun-19 Romans 5:1-5 I’m quite certain that I’m not very far off the target here. What a lame way to start a sermon! What in heaven is he talking about? I’ll tell you. I suspect that very few of us here this morning got the holy shivers while I was reading this passage. And I […]
19-May-19 Revelation 21:1-7 The Bible is a wonderful and yet mysterious book. And it is a wonderful and mysterious book because its author is also wonderful and mysterious. Almighty God is our constant companion in this life, and yet there is absolutely nothing about him that we do not stand, or more appropriately, completely fall […]
17-Feb-19 1Corinthians 15:12-22 I was reading just this week that three out of four people make up seventy-five percent of the world’s population. That’s pretty impressive when you think about it. It makes me wonder, though, if the folks who have presented us with this datum, aren’t also the kind of folk we could ask, […]
07-Oct-18 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 […]
30-Sept-18 James 5:13-20 Is any among you suffering? If ever there was a rhetorical question, that certainly is it. At any given time, in every Christian fellowship, some one is going to be having an awfully rough time of it. Suffering seems to be the lot of all human beings. Suffering happens to all of […]
08-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 […]
