MAY 23: SHARE THE MESSAGE

May 17, 2021

By Michael Julian Pastor, Macedonia Baptist Church, Kenton Focal Passage: Acts 17:16-18,22-23,30-31 Can we rejoice together that we have been privileged to receive and participate in a boundless gospel? Specifically, we promote that the gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes. Notice the words, everyone who believes. The book of Acts demonstrates this truth for us, as barriers are broken down and praises are lifted

MAY 16: SACRIFICED

May 10, 2021

By Scott Brown Pastor, First Baptist Church, Waverly Focal Passage: Luke 23:33-46 There’s just something deeply powerful about sacrifice. It touches something deep in my soul when I hear stories of someone willingly choosing to suffer in some way on behalf of another person. There is something uniquely good and godly about painfully giving of yourself for someone else. Sacrifice flies in the face of our sin nature which disdains

MAY 16: LIVE THE MESSAGE

May 10, 2021

By Michael Julian Pastor, Macedonia Baptist Church, Kenton Focal Passage: Colossians 3:1-3,12-17 Colossians 3:1-3: These first three verses delight my soul with great comfort and encouragement. I have turned to them again and again over the years. Paul is shifting into applying the solid doctrine that he has outlined in the first two chapters. I am incredibly thankful for the Holy Spirit inspiring these words from Paul’s pen. Though the

MAY 9: DENIED

May 3, 2021

By Scott Brown Pastor, First Baptist Church, Waverly Focal Passage: Luke 22:54-62 This is the story of Peter’s thrice denial of Jesus. After proudly declaring he would be willing to die for Jesus, and after even attempting murder for Him, Peter would defiantly deny that he even knew Jesus. It is almost funny how fast fear can shift our priorities when we let it in. In all fairness, it probably

MAY 9: THE MESSAGE

May 3, 2021

By Michael Julian Pastor, Macedonia Baptist Church, Kenton Focal Passage: Romans 10:8b-17 Unfortunately, many today might find the phrase, “Jesus saves,” to be a cliche. Oh, and I am talking about those outside the church, too. We have developed within the church the fantastic ability to take the simple and make it complex. We have also mastered taking something profound and making it run-of-the-mill. We possess the greatest message in

MAY 2: OUR COMMISSION

April 26, 2021

By Michael Julian Pastor, Macedonia Baptist Church, Kenton Focal Passage: 1 Timothy 2:1-8 How many times have you assured someone that you were praying for them? We do this for comfort, grace, peace, health, blessing and encouragement in people’s lives. There are other reasons, too, but let’s focus on a particular dynamic of prayer. We believe in it. We utilize it. We call for it. And we act on it.

MAY 2: WILLING

April 26, 2021

By Scott Brown Pastor, First Baptist Church, Waverly Focal Passage: Luke 22:41-53 In those last few precious moments before His arrest, Jesus seeks out quiet time with the Father. As He prays in the garden, we get a powerful glimpse at His humanity through His agony. Knowing perfectly and completely every iota of suffering and shame that awaited Him, He is not looking forward to the cup of wrath that

APRIL 25: OUR COMMISSION

April 20, 2021

By Michael Julian Pastor, Macedonia Baptist Church, Kenton Focal Passage: Matthew 28:18-20; II Corinthians 5:16-21 We could make a case that our subject for today ought to be the most natural thing we do as followers of Christ. And yet, we can make a case that there is nothing else that creates more fear and intimidation as this activity. Accelerated heart rates. Nervous sweats. Fear of fumbling over our words.

APRIL 25: REMEMBERED

April 20, 2021

By Scott Brown Pastor, First Baptist Church, Waverly Focal Passage: Luke 22:7-20 This is a special moment of calm before the storm that is to come in the life of Jesus and the disciples. Jesus, the true Passover Lamb, shares the Passover meal with the disciples. This Passover meal is what we now call The Last Supper. Each time that believers gather and celebrate communion, they are pointing back to

APRIL 18: CORNERSTONE

April 12, 2021

By Scott Brown Pastor, First Baptist Church, Waverly Focal Passage: Luke 20:9-19 Jesus used parables to both frustrate and to inform. This story does both. The frustration of the religious leaders has now reached a fever pitch and they are almost incessantly confronting Him, trying to find any reason to condemn Him. In the midst of this, Jesus tells the story of a vineyard owner who leased out His vineyard
