Alas And Did My Saviour Bleed (Communion)
Last year, Jesse Latimer, one of our song leaders and a dear friend, shared several hymnsinging albums with me during our season of Covid-19 “Drive in services.” At that time, we were playing a collection of hymns prior to the message over a sound system, everyone being in their automobiles. One particular hymn that I…
Ready To Harvest’s Video on Primitive Baptists
This weekend, a Youtube channel specializing in describing the theology and practice of various denominations released a video on Primitive Baptists, using Marchtozion.com as their primary source, as well as a book written by contributor David Wise.

Delivered From Darkness (Sermon)
Continuing our exposition of Paul’s epistle to the Colossians, we come to one of the most beautiful and concise statements involving our deliverance from sin in the New Testament.

Lately on Words of Grace, we’ve been considering stories from the life of King David. One thing I love about the Bible is its candid depiction of the lives of our heroes, sharing their victories and their failures. David is no exception to this rule, and so we learn of things such as his triumph…
