At 8:59 a.m. on September 11, 2001, a man named Bryan Sweeney called and left a voicemail to his wife from one of the planes that was hijacked on that tragic day. In the message, it was clear that he knew that he likely would not survive. But he made a statement to his wife as follows: “I’ll see you when you get there.” What could have prompted a man facing impending death to make such a statement? Join us today as we see from Scripture that this hope of life beyond death is the grounding fact of our lives as children of God.

In chapter 18 of Matthew, Peter asks Jesus if we should forgive one another up to seven times. Jesus told him, not up to seven times, but seventy times seven! While this might have been surprising to Peter, it ought not surprise us when we understand how extensive God’s forgiveness is for us. Join us today for this powerful sermon by Bro. Byron Fair, which teaches us about the importance of forgiveness.

In this powerful sermon, Elder Buddy Abernathy preaches the “whole truth” about divine preservation versus divine perseverance, using the example of David’s sin with Bathsheba. Although we ought to strive to persevere, we find the truth taught clearly in Scripture that we are preserved in Christ, regardless of whether we actually persevere or not! Join us today for this sound and important message.

In today’s sermon, we consider the plight of the Jews who had been carried captive into Babylon. As they pined away for Jerusalem, God sent them a letter by the hand of Jeremiah. In this letter, God tells them to live their lives in obedience to Him, and pray for the peace of the city where they are captives. O Christian, as we dwell today in the oppression of spiritual Babylon, let us learn from Jeremiah how we should live when we find ourselves in captivity in Babylon!

Today we conclude Elder Buddy Abernathy’s series on the Creation. In the prior sermons on this important and timely topic, Bro. Buddy has taught us from the first chapter of Genesis that God is indeed the Creator of this universe. As a matter of fact, the truth of the Creation is a foundational truth to all of the Bible! Due to technical difficulties with the recording equipment, this sermon – which is the conclusion to the series – cuts off before Bro. Buddy is able to finish preaching.. However, because of the important and timely nature of this topic, we have chosen to share all that we have from the series, no matter that it is somewhat incomplete. Join us today for the conclusion to this important sermon series on the Creation.

In the second half of this second sermon on the Creation, Elder Buddy Abernathy continues to teach us about the foundational truth that God created the universe and everything in it. Although the world would have us believe otherwise, the Creation is a fact that we cannot escape if we would walk in obedience to God’s word! During the week of Creation – and yes, it was indeed a single week of six normal days! – God made the world and everything in it, as well as all the stars and materials in space. Join us today as we continue in this important series about the Creation.

Today we continue in Elder Buddy Abernathy’s series about the Creation. In today’s world, the teaching of creationism is highly disfavored, and the theory of the “Big Bang” and evolution dominates almost all of our educational institutions. But a firm belief in the fact that God created the universe is vital to our discipleship. In the first half of this second sermon, after a brief review, Bro. Buddy continues taking us through the week of Creation as set forth in Genesis 1. Join us today as we continue learning about the Creation.

In this series of sermons by Elder Buddy Abernathy, we learn about the most basic doctrine of the entire Bible: that God created the universe and everything in it. If we miss this doctrine, we have gotten permanently off track in everything else we do. When we paused the message yesterday, we were beginning to look at the Creation itself from the Genesis account. Join us today as we continue looking at the Creation.
