Thomaston Baptist Church10-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 […]
27-Dec-15 Luke 2:1-20 Most of us here this morning probably don’t remember being born. I certainly don’t, although I’m pretty sure I was there. But there are stories about our births that we have been told. We probably know where we were born, and we likely know some of the circumstances and events that attended […]
Christmas Eve 2015 We had been watching the star for about two months before we really got serious about it. I’m not sure why it took us so long to make something of this, but you know how schedules are and all; I guess it took us that long to actually realize that it really […]
13-Dec-15 Luke 3:7-17 It’s been a long time with a lot of things to forget, but to the best of my knowledge I have never opened a worship service by saying, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?” I suspect that that kind of greeting would probably not […]
29-Nov-15 Luke 21:25-36 A couple of weeks ago I mentioned in a sermon that we had missed yet another Second Coming of Jesus. These things tend to come and go on a fairly regular basis nowadays, and its mostly because there is a market in our world for the work of the false prophet. In […]
15-Nov-15 Mark 13:1-8 The temple in Jerusalem was so beautiful that it was beyond description. It is impossible for us to even begin to imagine how beautiful it was. There are written descriptions of its beauty, but even these fail to adequately convey the awesome and stunning vision that the temple presented to all who […]
25-Oct-15 Mark 10: 46-52 It was as good a place as any for him to do his panhandling. It hadn’t always been this way. He hadn’t always made his living this way. He once had a job and a family. But then came the terrible accident. He saw it coming, but his hands were too […]
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 […]
