Thomaston Baptist Church17-Mar-19 Luke 13:1-9 Hey Jesus! Whadya think about those Galileans who got sacrificed along with their sacrifices? Bad karma, huh? They must have been rotten, miserable, sinful people! Hypocrites, I tell you! Come all the way down to Jerusalem from Galilee to do a little worshiping, and they happen to be there the day that […]
03-Mar-19 Luke 9:23-36 On Wednesday of this week, the season of Lent begins. In some of the more liturgical churches, there will be worship services on Wednesday to note the arrival of the Lenten season, but all day, during the day, in these churches, people will be coming to receive a smudge of ashes on […]
24-Feb-19 Luke 6:27-38 There are probably a million reasons why every-day, ordinary Christians of good standing in their congregations, completely ignore what Jesus has to say in this passage. And the reason for this is that the precepts that Jesus espouses in this passage sound just as ridiculous to us today as they did to […]
10-Feb-19 Luke 5:1-11 I have never been stunned, amazed or awed by this passage. And if you know me well, you know that that is a very unusual thing for me to say. Most of Scripture absolutely blows my mind. Even portions of Leviticus sometimes have power over me and rattle me with the holy […]
03-Feb-19 Luke 4:16-30 Is not this Joseph’s son? Up until the moment that somebody asked that question, Jesus had been doing pretty well. The crowd in the Synagogue had been moved and awed by what Jesus had to say, and quite frankly, Jesus had said some pretty awesome things. Verses 18 and 19 are a […]
27-Jan-19 John 2:1-11 If anyone was interested, there’s a whole lot of literature out there that has to do with this passage, and I’ve read a pile of it. And I’ll bet that most of you have heard lots of sermons preached from it. This is probably one of the most familiar miracle stories in […]
06-Jan-19 Matthew 2:7-23 The wise men, by far, are the most mysterious characters in the whole Christmas story. And that is why the wise men are so interesting to me. This mystery, though, ends horribly and tragically. But it is yet more evidence of the cosmic battle between the powers of light and the powers […]
30-Dec-18 Luke 2:1-20 Most of us here this morning probably don’t remember being born, I certainly don’t, even though I am pretty sure that 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 […]
Christmas Eve 2018 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 […]
02-Dec-18 Luke 21:25-36 I like to think that my redemption is drawing near. I like to think that I will personally witness the return of Jesus Christ to this earth. There are times when I am so finished with this old world, that my prayer is, “Come and get us, Jesus, I’m done with this […]
