One of the most endearing and important things we can do for one another, is to confess our faults to each other. Whether it is unintentional or something deliberate, an essential component in the experience of loving one another, is to have the Spiritual courage to confess. 02.08.26.Confessing.Our.Faults.Tim.McCool

Here is pt. 2 of the message, One Anothering No-no’s. 02.01.26.One.Anothering.No.Nos.pt.2.Tim.McCool

In the “one anothering” series I have been preaching, I come to some “no-no’s”. There are actions that are strictly forbidden towards one another. If we are to fulfill the law of Christ in the NT – to love one another – these are things we cannot engage in. Here is pt. 1 of this …

Soul winning is a Biblical term. It is often heard in religious circles related to winning someone’s soul eternally for Jesus (for example, accept Jesus, say the sinner’s prayer, be baptized, etc.). In this sermon, Brother Luke uses the account of Zacchaeus to show that the salvation in soul winning is not eternal, but a deliverance …

In Galatians 6, we are told to bear one another’s burdens, and then, that we should bear our own burden. If we ever think there is a contradiction in the scripture, it can only be in our own minds. If we look closely at what Paul is teaching, we see glorious instruction on how we …

In the Terms of Service series, Brother Luke looks at the Lord’s instruction to follow him. When we think of following, we often think in terms of following directions. We follow directions to arrive at an accomplished end or desired outcome, whether it’s cooking, driving, or assembling something. When we reach the end of our …

As I continue preaching on the “one anothers” of the NT, in this message I look at how we are to be likeminded towards one another, and to receive one another, and admonish one another. 01.18.26.Likeminded.Tim.McCool

On our Wednesday night service, I have begun a series that looks at certain Biblical characters. The first two characters are Adam and Eve. 01.14.26.Adam.and.Eve.Tim.McCool

Continuing in the “One Anothering” series, I come to the very specific instruction on how to love one another in Christian liberty. 01.11.26.Christian.Liberty.Tim.McCool

In the ongoing series on the terms of discipleship, Brother Luke looks at Jesus’ commandment to follow Him. We can follow people and things for many different reasons and in many ways. In this sermon Brother Luke compares the way we ‘follow’ people on social media platforms because of our interest in what they are doing to following …

In the first message of the new year, I look at the lessons of Psalm 40. Waiting and listening to the Lord is a skill to develop. It is even harder to develop in our culture because of earbuds, music and noise blaring in restaurants and gas stations. Getting in a quiet place to wait …

In the “one another” series, I look at specific ways that the NT gives us to love one another, as Jesus instructed. 12.28.25.One.Anothering.Each.Other.Tim.McCool

In the 2nd sermon on the terms of discipleship, Brother Luke looks at Jesus’ instruction that we are to take up our cross. The cross that Jesus carried was a symbol of many things, including being a picture of the burdens that evil men place on us for being servants of the Most High God. …

In Matthew 16, we read of Jesus Christ preaching about what is expected of his disciples. In the same way an athlete or solider may be told what is expected of them as being a part of a team or army, Jesus gives clear instruction on the terms of service for his disciples. In this …

As I continue in the “one anothering” series, in this message I look at the characteristics of agape love. 12.10.25.Characteristics.of.Agape.Love.Tim.McCool

Jesus gave a new commandment for disciples in the New Testament – to love one another. In this message, I introduce the “one anotherings” in the New Testament age, observing what a unique and dynamic shift this was for worshippers of God. 12.07.25.One.Anotherings.Tim.McCool

It is common to hear – Do you know that you know that you are saved? Almost without exception the answer to this question involves looking at what YOU have done. Did you accept Christ? Did you pray a prayer? Then the question is – are you sure? This is a common tactic of fearmongers …

Who doesn’t like simple things? But the sinful nature of man likes to complicate things. Paul warns us in 2 Corinthians about our minds being corrupted from the simplicity of Christ. Satan works tirelessly to complicate the gospel message to make it confusing to the minds of men. In this sermon Brother Luke looks at …

Many would say we must accept Jesus in order to be saved. But this is the opposite of the way it is. The Lord accepts us through the work of His Son Jesus. But as born again children of God, we can accept the ministry of Jesus to our lives. Jesus made it very clear …

In the 3rd message on Spirit fullness, I finally come to the specific ways in which born again children of God can experience the filling of the Spirit. The Lord will not be mocked, and we can certainly do things to repel His Spirit. But when we embrace submission to His will, the experience of …
