The 8 E’s of Evangelicals

As Baptists, many would refer to us as evangelicals. They do this because we put a high focus on evangelism. Evangelism is vital, but as Bereans, we must see that there is so much more than just evangelism in the life of a believer. I don’t often use alliteration, but...

Jesus, the Good Shepherd

I want to use this note to help make today’s sermon more edifying.  In John 10, Jesus says, “I am the good shepherd.” But what does that mean? What is the significance? He has referenced bread, light, door, and now—Shepherd! If we did not have Ezekiel 34, we...

Abundant Life

This morning, we are going to dig into John 10:10, The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. We must get into the Greek to get the most accurate understanding of what Jesus is communicating with this...

Revelation 3:10 – Kept from Trial

Does Revelation 3:10 teach that the church will be raptured before the Great Tribulation (Mat 24:21)? I read this week that Dr. Richard L. Mayhue said there is only one Second Coming but two events: 1) first the rapture, then 7 years later, and 2) the coming to judge....
