Zion Primitive Baptist Church

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on March 2, 2025)

In today’s sermon, we continue looking at the practice of “close communion”. As we have already learned, “close communion” is the practice of restricting access to the Lord’s table to the members of the local church, as well as others of like faith and order. Join us as we continue learning about the biblical basis for this traditional Primitive Baptist practice.

As we have already seen, Nehemiah wanted desperately to help the people of God in the Kingdom of God in Jerusalem, and he had faith in God as he began to make plans. He had the faith to wait, the faith to focus, and the faith to go forward in God’s time. He was not a prophet or a priest, but simply a faithful child of God who had a heart for the Kingdom of God on earth. Join us as we continue to look at how this faithful man followed God’s rebuilding program.

As Nehemiah mourned about the sad state of the children of God in Jerusalem, he prayed fervently and purposed to bring the matter before the king. But he had the faith to wait on the Lord’s time, and in that time the Lord blessed him with an opportunity to help God’s people. Join us as we see how a man – who was not a prophet, nor a priest, but simply a member of the congregation – was able to help God’s people in a mighty way.

When he heard about the shameful state of the Kingdom of God in Jerusalem, Nehemiah was greatly affected. God’s people were in great reproach, because the walls of Jerusalem were broken down, and the gates were burned by fire. But instead of mourning about it but doing nothing, Nehemiah decided to do something about it! He bought into God’s rebuilding program for the Kingdom of God. Join us today as we continue our study of the Book of Nehemiah.

In the Book of Nehemiah, we read about God’s rebuilding program for His Kingdom on earth. With the Lord’s blessings, we are starting a series today on this important book of the Old Testament. The first thing we see is the shameful state of the earthly Kingdom of God in Jerusalem, and its effect on a man named Nehemiah. Join us as we learn some important spiritual lessons about rebuilding when the Kingdom of God is in a sorry state.

As we began to see yesterday, the Bible gives us many examples of those who came to “see Jesus.” Sometimes, we ourselves get to the point that we don’t see Jesus! When that happens, we need to seek Him again in the place where He may be found, which normally is in His Father’s house. Join us as we conclude this message today.

In John’s gospel, we read of some Greeks who came to the disciples. They told them, “Sir, we would see Jesus.” This ought to be our constant desire: to see Jesus! Join us today as Elder John Morgan Owens points us to Christ and His finished work.

As we continue our study of the communion service, we come to the matter of “open” versus “close” communion. “Close” communion is the practice of restricting access to the Lord’s table to the members of the local church, as well as others of like faith and order. Join us as we learn why we as Primitive Baptists practice “close communion.”
