When the frontier was settled in the 1800s, it was common for the wagon trains to “circle the wagons” when under attack and at night for protection, safety and interaction. In this message, I look at how we should follow that example when we are attacked by Satan and faced with trials and tragedies. 06.22.25.Circle.the.Wagons.Tim.McCool

Have you ever wrestled with God? Have you wrestled with God and prevailed? Few wrestle with God, fewer wrestle with God and win. Jacob wrestled with God for one night, and his life was changed forever. He was given a new name, a new identity, and the name God gave him was given to a whole nation. The Israelis are forever a passionate people, full of fight. When will we, as Gentiles, direct our fight and passion toward our relationship with God?
Thursday, 26 June 2025 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. Matthew 11:8 “But what you went out to see? A man having been enrobed in fine cloaks? You behold! Those wearing the fines, they are in the kings' houses” (CG). In the previous verse, Jesus asked the crowds what they went into the wilderness to see. Was it a reed shaken by the wind? Now, He asks again, saying, “But what you went out to see?” The thought beginning with “but” dismisses the previous thought. “No, it can't be for that reason. Maybe it was for another reason. How about, ‘A man having been enrobed in fine cloaks?'” The word malakos is introduced. It signifies soft. By extension, that would carry to the idea of fine clothing, but also of a soft, effeminate person. That is how Paul uses it in 1 Corinthians 6:9. In this case, Jesus is referring to it in the sense of enrobing a person. If the people were looking for a particular type of person, the garments would be an indicator for them concerning a particular category. Maybe the people were looking for someone who possessed wisdom like a scribe, wealth like a nobleman, or power like a king. Maybe it was someone who could impress the people like a magician. Each of these would normally have particular clothing to match their lifestyle. The finest of them all at this period would be the king. Therefore, Jesus exclaims, “You behold! Those wearing the fines, they are in the kings' houses.” Is this what they went out to see? Because if that were the case, they went to the wrong place. In going out to the wilderness, one would expect someone roughly attired. This is, in fact, how John was dressed, as noted in Matthew 3:4 – “Now John himself was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.” Indeed, some prophets and wise men of the past lived well while serving the kings. Daniel, for example, was in the king's court of Babylon and later under Persian kings. However, if the people heard of someone calling out in the wilderness, they would expect something entirely different. Jesus' question, therefore, begs another negative answer. “No, not at all. That is not what we went out to see.” He is asking them to think through what would lead them into the wilderness and what it meant that they came to John to hear his message. Life application: One can generally get an immediate sense of what to expect when walking into a church and seeing the pastor. When you walk into an independent fundamental Baptist church, you will often see a person with a short haircut who is wearing an inexpensive monotoned suit and tie. If you walk into a charismatic church, you might see someone wearing a suit that is flashier, no tie, and the colors are intended to draw attention to the speaker. The mega-church style will often have someone wearing skinny jeans, expensive leather shoes with flat-toe ends to make his feet look longer than they are, and wearing a dress shirt with no coat or tie. The sleeves may be rolled up as if he is in a conference, expecting results from those around the table. Once the individual is seen, you can make a guess as to what his style of preaching will be. These are just generalizations, but the style of clothing attracts people. If you want formal, stuffy religion, you will go to a church with pre-designed robes, maybe poofy hats, etc. Along with the appearance of the pastor, the style of music is a huge draw for many people. It may even be what keeps people coming back. All of these things are externals and really have nothing to do with the quality of the material to be presented. What should matter, first and foremost, is adherence to the Bible. Unfortunately, this is often hardly a consideration at all. In some churches, the Bible is all but ignored. When you go to church, what do you expect to see? Jesus asked the people why they went out to see John. He will explain what they received when they did so. When you go to church, are you sitting under a great teacher of the word? A great orator, regardless of how he explains the word, a flashy person whose message stirs the emotions, a showman who speaks in nonsensical tongues and makes people's stunted legs grow right in front of your eyes? What are you going to church for? Evaluate that and consider what it is that motivates you to go at all. The answer should be Jesus. Above all, you should want to learn about Jesus, God incarnate. The only way you are going to receive that properly is by hearing the word that tells of Jesus explained to you. Go to church expecting to find Jesus. That will be the most rewarding church experience of them all. Glorious God, forgive us when we make going to church about ourselves. We may want to hear a band give us emotional songs, or we may go in hopes of being told everything will be ok. We may go with the intent of making business connections. Lord, help us to be motivated to learn about You. May You be our desire at all times, particularly when we go to church. Amen.
As we study the doctrines that define who we are as a church, we take a look at one movement that has divided Baptist churches.

6.23.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Iran Fires Missiles at US Bases, Trump Anti-Black Agenda, Target-Nat’l Baptist Drama, VA Dems Gala Missiles target U.S. bases, including the largest one in the Middle East. We've got the latest on the fallout and what it means for our troops. Trump won about 16–20% of the Black vote overall in 2024... So, where are those Black Republicans now? We are discussing Trump's Anti-black Agenda with Conservative voice Shelley Wynter. While Target remains on the boycott list, the National Baptist Convention is in the hot seat after cashing a $300,000 check from the retailer.

“Who's really calling the shots in Texas—morality or money?” That's the fiery question at the heart of this episode of The Ben and Skin Show, where hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive headfirst into one of the most surprising political twists in recent Texas history.In a move that stunned both sides of the aisle, Governor Greg Abbott vetoed a bill that would have banned all THC products, including Delta-8. The crew breaks down what this means for Texas' booming hemp industry, the 55,000 jobs that just dodged a bullet, and the deeper cultural clash between old-school Baptist conservatism and modern economic pragmatism.

This week, Pastor Mark Wible continued our For Every Season series with a message from Psalm 90—a psalm of reflection on God's faithfulness. Drawing from Moses' prayer, Pastor Mark reminded us that God is our dwelling place in every season: in His eternal sovereignty, in our waiting, in His chastening, and in His favor. As Pastor Mark reflected on 40 years of ministry, he encouraged us to anchor our lives in the unchanging presence and faithfulness of God.

Proverbs 1:1-7Senior Associate Pastor, Dr. Kyler SmithSunday June 22, 2025
God worked in creation, Christ accomplished the work of salvation on the cross, and the Holy Spirit worked the new birth in our hearts. Now we work unto the Lord for his glory, as an act of praise for his provision, and to meet real needs as we live in this world. This is wisdom for work in Proverbs and in all the Bible. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God's grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.

Why do our demands for greater freedom often lead to deeper bondage? What happens when we ask God for what we want instead of trusting Him for what we need? In his sermon, “So, You Want A King?” based on 1 Samuel 8:1-22, Pastor Bryan Catherman explores Israel's demand for a king and the deeper spiritual rebellion it represents. As the people reject God's rule in favor of a monarchy like the surrounding nations, we are confronted with a timeless truth: when we choose self-rule over God's sovereign reign, we inherit the consequences of our own folly. Yet, even in judgment, God's mercy shines through as He ultimately provides not just any king, but the one King we truly need—Jesus Christ. The message challenges us to consider where we, too, may be exchanging divine kingship for worldly security, and reminds us that only under God's rule do we find true freedom and life.

Hope Reminders | Summer of Psalms This sermon from Psalm 121 invites us to shift our gaze from the chaos of the world to the presence of God. He's not distant or detached. He lifts us up, protects us, and walks with us, now and forever. Key Insights: 1. Hope begins when we stop looking around for help and start looking up to God. 2. God is not distant—He is present, active, and personal through every step of our journey. 3. Our spiritual security doesn't depend on our strength but on God's ongoing protection and care. 4. Worship is not just for the destination—it's meant to happen in the journey. 5. When your gaze is fixed on God, you begin to stand in grace, peace, and purpose. Scripture Focus: Psalms 121 (https://www.bible.com/bible/59/PSA.121.ESV) If you're looking for real hope, it's found in the One who made the mountains and promises to never leave your side.
