Pastor Ricky Gravley, of the Bible Baptist Church, Rossville, GA, preaches during the July, 2025 Camp Meeting, held at the Faith Baptist Camp, of Resaca, GA.
Luke 19:1-10 KJB: 1   And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2   And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3   And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
4   And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
5   And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
6   And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7   And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
8   And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
9   And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
10   For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Luke 7:1-10 KJB: 1   Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2   And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
3   And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
4   And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
5   For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
6   Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
7   Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
8   For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
9   When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
10   And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.

Pastor Dale Massengale, of the Pleasant View Baptist Church, McQuady, KY, preaches on Wednesday evening, January 4, 2023.
2 Peter 1:1-14 KJB: 1   Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
2   Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3   According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4   Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5   And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6   And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7   And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8   For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9   But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10   Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11   For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
12   Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
13   Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
14   Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

Genesis 11:1-9 KJB: 1   And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
2   And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3   And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
4   And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5   And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6   And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7   Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8   So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
9   Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Malachi 3:6 KJB: 6   For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Hebrews 6:16-18 KJB: 16   For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
17   Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
18   That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

Proverbs 23:23 KJB: 23   Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

The late Evangelist Billy Mitchell, formerly of Jamestown, TN, preaches during a Revival Meeting, some years ago.  The song following the message, is from the late Pastor and Mrs. Buck Ledford, formerly of Maryville, TN.
John 8:28-36 KJB: 28   Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
29   And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
30   As he spake these words, many believed on him.
31   Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32   And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33   They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34   Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35   And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36   If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 KJB: 13   Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14   For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
2 Corinthians 5:6-11 KJB: 6   Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7   (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
8   We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
9   Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
10   For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
11   Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
1 Corinthians 3:10-15 KJB: 10   According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11   For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12   Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13   Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14   If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15   If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

1 Corinthians 15:58 KJB: 58   Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
Acts 20:17-27 KJB: 17   And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.
18   And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,
19   Serving the LORD with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
20   And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,
21   Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
22   And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
23   Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
24   But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
25   And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
26   Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
27   For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
