By Hoyt Wilson Pastor, Flatwoods Baptist Church, Holladay Focal Passage: I Peter 3:13-22 Dawson Trotman, the founder of the evangelistic organization, The Navigators, said: “Soul winners are not soul winners because of what they know, but Who they know, and how much they want others to know Him.”
By Justin Randolph Pastor of Zion Hill Baptist Church, Sevierville Focal Passage: II Timothy 2:1-10 The other day my son brought home a science test with a score of 85 and a note that he could retake the exam with no penalty. However, his response was measured. He said, “I think I did good enough.” People often respond in this way to tasks in their life from the important to
By Hoyt Wilson Pastor, Flatwoods Baptist Church, Holladay Focal Passage: I Peter 3:1-12 We have names for the ways we are connected with other people. Father, mother, brother, sister, husband, wife, son, daughter, boss, and many other terms express our relationships. We live connected to others. Each connection we have with others brings with it a responsibility to learn how to live in that relationship. I Peter 3:1-8 shares vital
By Justin Randolph Pastor of Zion Hill Baptist Church, Sevierville Focal Passage: Romans 10:1-3, 8b-13 I was in the Walmart checkout line recently, impatiently waiting my turn (don’t judge me), when I glanced at the shirt of the man in front of me. It made the observation that “only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you; Jesus Christ and the American soldier. One died for your soul,
By Hoyt Wilson Pastor, Flatwoods Baptist Church, Holladay Focal Passage: I Peter 2:11-20 All of us begin life as strangers. When forced from our mother’s womb, we enter an environment in which we are strangers. Hopefully, bonding with parents and becoming accustomed to the strange sights, sounds, and touch to which one is subjected will soon lead to one belonging. I Peter was written to Christians who needed to know
By Justin Randolph Pastor of Zion Hill Baptist Church, Sevierville Focal Passage: Romans 5:6-11 I recently watched a team from Goodlettsville compete in the Little League World Series. They came up just short, but congratulations to them on a great season. One of the interesting things of note during the competition was the pitch count. This count restricted the young stars from pitching unnecessarily long games and perhaps injuring themselves
By Justin Randolph Pastor of Zion Hill Baptist Church, Sevierville Focal Passage: Romans 3:9-12,19-20, 23 It is popular today to discuss whether or not it is relevant or important to name the problem. Does not identifying the problem make solving it easier? I would argue without proper identification of a problem, a solution is nearly impossible to find. So, why do people today seem to find it so difficult to

By Hoyt Wilson Pastor, Flatwoods Baptist Church, Holladay Focal Passage: I Peter 1:3-9 A boy scrubbed clean and dressed in his Sunday best went outside to wait for the rest of the family before church. He could not, however resist the puddles from the night’s rain. He was wet and dirty when he went back into the house. Mom was unhappy and fussed. “I’m sorry, Mom,” he said. “All right,

I love getting things they need and sometimes want. I also love helping them learn to use the things in question, but I do not love the phrase “Some assembly required.” And the reason I do
