by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on February 8, 2026) One of the most difficult arenas to navigate in our discipleship is the arena of politics.

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on February 1, 2026) As we saw in the first half of this sermon, Paul continues his thoughts on biblical love as he moves into Chapter 13.

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on February 1, 2026) In the sermon today, we are taking a “deeper dive” into the concept of biblical love. Briefly skipping over the first few verses of Chapter 13, we find in verses eight through ten that Paul reiterates the concept of biblical love, and tells us that...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on January 25, 2026) In Chapter 12 of Romans, we are learning about presenting our bodies as “living sacrifices.” Sacrificial living involves loving as Christ loved.

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on January 25, 2026) In the previously posted sermon, we were looking at the character of biblical love.

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on January 11, 2026) As we continue in the twelfth chapter of Romans, we are learning more and more about presenting our bodies as living sacrifices.

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on January 4, 2026) As we began to see yesterday, one aspect of living sacrificially is changing the way we think. We need to think like children of God!

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on January 4, 2026) As we continue exploring the idea of “sacrificial living,” as set forth in Romans Chapter 12, we find that one area we need to reform is in our thinking. We ought to think like children of God! We begin today by looking at how we...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on December 28, 2025) In Romans 12, Paul commands us to present our bodies as “living sacrifices”. Up to this point, Paul has laid a doctrinal foundation, but now he begins to teach us our duty as disciples. There is a logical progression to Scriptural teaching, particularly in the...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on December 28, 2025) In our series on the Book of Romans, we have come to chapter 12. But before we begin to look at Paul’s instructions on godly living and presenting our bodies a living sacrifice, we decided to do a quick review of what we have learned...

by Elder Luke Hagler (preached on June 23, 2013) In the second half of this powerful sermon by Elder Luke Hagler, we continue to see the warning by the writer of Hebrews about neglecting the great salvation that we have in Christ.

by Elder Neil Honea (preached on January 18, 2026) Elder Neil Honea recently preached for us at Zion Primitive Baptist Church, and his message was a powerful reminder about our duty to submit to one another as children of God.

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on December 21, 2025) When Christ came the first time, the Jews by and large were unsuspecting and unprepared. But if they had studied the Book of Daniel, they should have known the general timeframe of the Messiah’s arrival on the scene. In Daniel 9, God gave them a...
