Sunday, December 12, 2021. John 17:4-5 | "Glorify Me"

In the first prayer of Christ, Jesus prays to the Father relationally as "Son." In this second prayer, Jesus prays personally as "me." What is the difference? The answer is the purpose of Christmas! This sermon reveals a personal prayer, an obedient prayer, and a costly prayer that explains the meaning of "Immanuel" - God with us!

This message preaches from John 17:4-5. It is part of a preaching series through John 17, "He Said, 'Father'" The title of this sermon is "Glorify Me."

Today is the first Sunday of Advent, a time of anticipation and preparation for the coming of Jesus. We look ahead by faith believing Jesus will come again very soon, as we remember his first coming into the world at Christmastime. 

This Advent Preaching Season will focus on "The Prayers of CHRISTmas." To start this season, Southside is pleased to welcome back Bro. Mike Dawson to Southside's pulpit to deliver a message about "The First-and Last-prayer of CHRISTmas." 

This message preaches from Revelation 22:20-21. Welcome, Bro. Mike Dawson!

It's not enough that Jesus is MY Lord, or Jesus is YOUR Lord. 1 Corinthians compels the Church to ask a different question: Church - Is Jesus OUR Lord? 

In the closing text of this letter, the apostle presents a series of final instructions meant to keep the Church from failing and propel the Church forward in power. What we do with these commands will ultimately reveal who our leader is and who we love.

This message preaches from 1 Corinthians 16:13-24. It is the final sermon in a preaching series through 1 Corinthians: "To the Church." The title of this message is "Our Lord, Come!"

Most weeks, you hear the voice of a shepherd (pastor/teacher) preaching and teaching God's Word. But joining us today in Southside's pulpit is another voice and gift of God for His Church - the voice of an evangelist. 

Southside is pleased to welcome Evangelist Spencer Bell as he delivers a moving message entitled "The Greatest Decisions of Your Life." 

Please take a moment to visit Spencer's website, spencerbellministries.org, and pray about ways you can support Spencer's spiritual and material needs as he obeys God in vocational evangelism. Prepare your hearts now to hear "The Greatest Decisions of Your Life." 

November is Southside's Annual "Praise-Giving Revival" - a month-long emphasis on revival, prayer, and praise!  Will you participate with us in praising God publically this month by sharing a praise? One way you can do this is by visiting southsidebaptist.net/praise.

To start things off, we welcome special guest Ken Blackwood, Director of Missions & Ministry for the Morgan Baptist Association in North Alabama, to the pulpit. Let's listen as Ken delivers a revival message from Matthew 19:16-22.  

Sunday, October 31, 2021. 1 Corinthians 15:12-34 | "Christ Has Been Raised." 

If Christ has not been raised from the dead, our preaching, faith, and future are useless and wasted. As this text says, "let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die." Death would be a final, miserable end to such a short, meaningless existence. But the gospel of grace preached to us says differently. Christ has been raised from the dead! And the resurrection of Jesus Christ makes it possible for us to know God and experience the power of His resurrection in this life and the life to come. 

This message preaches from 1 Corinthians 15:12-34. It is part of a preaching series through 1 Corinthians "To The Church." The title of this sermon is "Christ Has Been Raised."

Sunday, October 24, 2021. 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 | "The Grace of God."

This message preaches from 1 Corinthians 15:1-11. It is part of a preaching series through 1 Corinthians "To The Church." The title of this sermon is "The Grace of God."

Sunday, October 17, 2021. 1 Corinthians 14:26-40 | "Decently And In Order." 

What should the saints do when the church comes together? The apostle supports the various gifts but offers pointed instructions for how each gift, rightly deployed, builds up the church.
