In the first message of the Anniversary meeting, Elder Neil Honea, pastor of 5 Mile PBC, presents a timely sermon for both young and old. As Jacob was dying, he recalled how he had to fight battles against the wicked culture around him, in addition to being a shepherd. It is important the younger generation …
In the morning message preached by Elder David Crawford, he looks at some shocking ways we may be engaged in idolatry and not realize it. 10.04.25.Weak.and.Beggarly.Elements.David.Crawford

When we think of the word prodigal, our minds usually drift to the account of what is known as the prodigal son in Luke’s gospel. Interestingly, the word prodigal is not found in the account. So, we may legitimately ask, who is the real prodigal? In this message, I look at this question. 09.28.25.Who.Is.the.Real.Prodigal.Tim.McCool

The Bible tells us the Lord uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. David used a sling and a stone to slay a giant. Samson used the jawbone of an ass to slay 1,000 philistines. A child of God uses things to fight their battles that the world would say are …
Besides John 3:16, one of the next most popular verses is Romans 8:28. We hear it often quoted in the context of horrible tragedies and indescribable difficulties. But just like John 3:16, do we know the true meaning of it? If we are familiar with the verse itself, are we familiar with the surrounding verses? …
In Matthew chapter 7 we read about a narrow way that few people find. Too often this is used as a scare tactic verse to make people question their salvation. In this sermon, Bro. Luke uses the scriptures to show how this narrow path is not a path to Heaven, but rather a path of Godly …
In a natural sense, we are American citizens. But politics and other issues divide God’s people, and we lose sight of our true citizenship, which is in the Kingdom of God, and this supersedes all natural citizenships. There is only one hope of overcoming the division that exists today, and that is through recognizing where …

What is the purpose of the gospel? Most believe its purpose is to keep people from going to hell. But what does the Bible tell us? In the ‘set apart’ series, I look at this important teaching. Is the gospel necessary for us to hear in order to go to heaven? Is it something else? …
For several weeks, I have looked at teachings from the Bible that set apart the church of God. As we have seen with the other teachings, most of these are lost to the modern church today. And this subject is no exception. In this message, I look at what once was a common practice among …

Have you been taught your entire church life that you are commanded by God to tithe? This commonly presented “command” to tithe, is another spiritual urban legend. Nowhere in the NT does the Lord or the Apostles teach the OT law system of tithing. Instead, they taught a God-honoring practice that was older than tithing, …
When God told Jonah to go to Nineveh and tell them the city would be destroyed in 40 days, Jonah fled to Tarshish. Something was eating him up, besides the whale that would eventually eat him. Why? Was he afraid the Ninevites would harm him? When we look closer at the words of Jonah, we …

That is the same thinking of the Jewish nation when Jesus came and set up His kingdom 2000 years ago. Our Savior established His kingdom almost 2000 years ago. It is life-changing for His children when this …
In the “set apart” series I have been preaching, I come to the next subject – the kingdom of God. If you conduct a basic study on this subject in the New Testament, it is huge. The number or times that Christ refers to His kingdom, as being here and now, is amazing. In this …
We have all heard of ‘free will’. When we use the term “free will,” we are saying a person has the ability to choose and pursue their desires. Does a person have total free will in their lives? Some say yes. However, some say mankind has no free will in their lives and God orchestrates …
