By Glenn Metts Pastor, Shiloh Baptist Church, Seymour Focal Passage: Isaiah 58:1-12 One truth is clear as we dive into this week’s Scripture and lesson. When my heart has been transformed by the gospel of Christ it should reflect not only in how I worship, but also in how I see people and respond to them. Our lesson relates this message, “The one true God is just; He expects His
By Eric Taylor Pastor, Cedar Hill Baptist Church, Cedar Hill Focal Passage: Psalm 99:1-9 Psalm 99 is part of a group of five psalms (Psalms 95-99) that are called by most scholars, “Royal Psalms,” or “Coronation Psalms.” They are a group of Psalms that exalt God as Creator, the righteous Judge, and the Sovereign Lord who forgives and saves. Well, in the last of these five psalms extolling the greatness
By Glenn Metts Pastor, Shiloh Baptist Church, Seymour Focal Passage: Isaiah 53:1-12 The richness of knowing Christ in a personal relationship is discovering the depth of His love and what He has done for our salvation.

By Eric Taylor Pastor, Cedar Hill Baptist Church, Cedar Hill Focal Passage: Colossians 1:3-12 Now while the admonition to pray is an all-encompassing truth, the main idea in our text for this week is that we commit to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Yet, in truth, we seldom actually pray for one another as we should. We are experts at the “I’m praying for you,” statement, but

By Eric Taylor Pastor, Cedar Hill Baptist Church, Cedar Hill Focal Passage: Romans 12:3-16 The epistle of Romans is often called Paul’s theological treatise concerning salvation and God’s work of grace. However, when you arrive at chapter 12, the apostle’s message moves from the theological to the practical. One could say that Romans 12 begins Paul’s practical application of the gospel he declared in Romans 1-11. And in our lesson
By Glenn Metts Pastor, Shiloh Baptist Church, Seymour Focal Passage: Isaiah 46:3-13 Our lesson this week is a clear reminder of God’s heart and plan to save. He is a God of action and undeterred passion to bring salvation to anyone who will respond. Isaiah’s message to a hard-hearted people was one of God’s faithfulness and trustworthiness to them. He is a God who comes to us. He is a
