A podcast for the sermons and teaching series' of Main Street Baptist Church in Spindale, NC.
Join us for a look at why we celebrate baptisms.
Join us for a look at why we celebrate the Lord's Supper.
And Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your faith has made you well" Mark 10:52 (ESV).
Jesus took on the form of a servant so that he might become a ransom for many.
Jesus tells us that the kingdom of God belongs to children and grown ups, too.
A Savior came to hard hearted people to forgive their sins and make their hearts melt in the light of his gospel.
How to develop into a fully devoted follower of Christ.
The way of the cross requires sacrificial humility.
Jesus helps our unbelief by entering our chaos.
If we care to come after Jesus, we will suffer, but the weight of our cross centred suffering cannot compare to the glory that is to come.
If you really want to follow Jesus, you do need to read the fine print. Set your mind on the things of God, deny yourself, and do not be ashamed.
Jesus heals a blind man at Bethsaida. Peter confesses Jesus as the Christ.
The greatest danger is the hardness of the heart, a heart that cannot see and savor the glory of Jesus Christ.
Jesus is the voice that breaks the silence.
No matter where Jesus goes, or how dark it is, He is a light that cannot be hidden.
What actually defiles a person? The heart is where our uncleanness comes from.
In this passage, we read about Jesus' authority over rules, regulations, and traditions.
Who are those that Jesus does not forget?
Who is Jesus, from the perspective of the 5000, the apostles, and Jesus Himself.
Do not be ruled by fear, but be ruled by the one true king, who is King Jesus.
Jesus has sent us to fulfill a mission, a great commission, and to do it together, depending fully on his authority, his provision, trusting in the mission, that he has sent us on will be successful, even when we are rejected. No matter what, the mission will prevail.
Jesus returns to Nazareth with His disciples and is rejected by His hometown.
Jesus commends and responds to genuine faith that pursues Him above all things.
Jesus delivers a man from a legion of demons, casting them into the pigs, causing the locals in the Garasenes to fear Him and marvel over how much He has done.
Our hope in hardship is in the power of God being shown through us in our frailty in a way that glorifies Him and transforms lives.
Jesus is Lord over nature, Lord over death, and Lord over fear.
Jesus continues teaching His disciples about the nature of the Kingdom of God through the parables of a lamp, a seed, and a mustard tree.
Jesus teaches the parable of the sower to those who will listen, and then privately explains the purpose of parables to His disciples and the meaning of the sower.
When Jesus' sanity and authority are questioned, He responds by accusing them of blasphemy and calling those who do the will of God His true family.
There are three opposing forces in the midst of Jesus being on mission: the religious and political leaders, spiritual forces of darkness, the enemy force from within.
Jesus' authority redefines our understanding of the Sabbath, and all of God's law.
Jesus did not come to make sinners conform to religious rituals, but to make them altogether new.
Seeing the authority of Jesus should increase the visibility of our faith, cause us to live in the freedom of overcoming grace, and convict us of our unbelief.
And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said to him, “If you will, you can make me clean.” Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I will; be clean.” (1:40-41, ESV)
Jesus' authority rightly observed will make us want to listen to His teaching, relinquish fear of the devil, and inspire genuine worship that spreads.
Jesus' Kingdom has come and He is calling us to follow Him urgently and make disciples.
Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life in our place and endured every temptation to sin to make us beloved sons and daughters of God.
The beginning of the Gospel points us to the sovereign plan of God to prepare us for the coming of His Son, to wash our sins away, and to restore our relationship with Him through the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Join us as we look at a biography of the 12 apostles, ordinary men with an unshakable resolve.
He shall be called Prince of Peace.
He shall be called Everlasting Father.
"His name shall be called Mighty God."
His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor.
Philemon is about reconciliation and relationships between Christians.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful (ESV).
Experience spiritual renovation, experience spiritual renewal, and experience spiritual richness.
Christ in you, the hope of glory. Christ in you, the true knowledge of God's mystery. Christ in you, the exercise of walking in His presence. Christ in you, the powerful working of God. Christ in you, the fulfillment of total sufficiency.
