Question On Communion Bread

Recently there was a discussion in one of the Primitive Baptist message boards on the subject of communion bread, sparked by a question about recipes. Up front and perhaps needless to say, any bread won’t do for The Lord’s Supper, just as much as any drink isn’t sufficient for communion. Biblically, unleavened bread and wine…

Hebrews 1:3 Textual Variant

Recently, I was speaking about the afterlife in a message at Flint River and engage in a tangent about the concept of Purgatory. My point was simple; at death, a person goes to one of two places: Paradise or Torments. If a person has been redeemed by Christ, their soul goes to be with Him…

That Last Evening

The day before Jesus’ arrest was a whirlwind with Passover, preaching, warnings, words of encouragement, exposing/acknowledging a false prophet, instituting the ordinance of Communion, washing His disciples’ feet, and then an all night effort of prayer. Join us for this message on the final evening prior to the crucifixion.
