Matthew 18:15-17- From Seeking to Shunning: What is Required in Church Discipline? Part 2 of 2

October 1, 2023 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Jesus absolutely taught that we are our brother’s keeper. Last week we examined what goes into Seeking your Brother when he is in sin. This week Pastor Matt picks up in verse 16 where we learn to Seek our Brother with Our Brother, and ultimately to Shun Our So-Called Brother if he utterly refuses to […]

Matthew 18:12-14 Our Treatment of Fellow Little Ones Part 2: Pursuit & Pleasure

September 10, 2023 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Matthew 18:12-14 Is one of the more familiar passages in the Bible. Mt. 18:12–14 What do you think? If any man has a hundred sheep, & one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains & go & search for the one that is straying? 13 If it turns […]

Matthew 18:5-10 Our Treatment of Fellow Little Ones

September 3, 2023 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

How seriously does the Father take an offense against one of His beloved children? Well, you’d be better off getting a millstone tied around your neck and being drowned in the sea! Listen as Pastor Matt show from Matthew 18:5-10 how we should treat fellow believers, the severity of the punishment for those who offend […]

Titus 3:10-11 & Rom. 16:17-18 When the Scandal Mongerer is Exposed, Rebuked, & Unrepentant

October 30, 2022 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Last week Pastor Matt explained what the Scriptures instruct the Church to do when someone is caught up in slander and gossip. Unfortunately, not everyone plays nice when this process is carried out as the Bible requires. Sometimes they get mad. They refuse to follow the biblically prescribed steps, and they rebel against the authority […]

1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 The Partnership of Leadership and Laity- A Charge to the Church-Pastor David Province

October 30, 2022 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

In an ordination service it is a familiar practice to have a charge preached to the minister. No one would disagree that a minister has responsibilities towards the congregation but what about a church’s responsibility towards its leaders? Listen as Pastor David helps the Church understand some of these responsibilities at Pastor Josh Woody’s ordination […]

Listen as Brother Josh Woody shows […]

I Tim. 3:3 Qualifications for Overseers- Part 3 of 6- Not a Slave to Idols

March 6, 2022 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Alcohol, anger, and assets are hot button issues in Christian circles. Many people presuppose that a man who drinks any alcohol, displays any anger, or accumulates any real wealth is intrinsically less holy than a man who completely abstains from alcohol, who never displays aggression, or who is poor. But is that what the Bible […]

I Timothy 3:1-7 The Qualifications of an Overseer (Part 1 of 6)

February 13, 2022 By Matthew Cooke Leave a Comment

Appointing new elders is a big deal! And before a church does so they must understand the solemnity & gravity of what they are doing. They must evaluate the potential overseer to make sure that he meets the qualifications. Why? First, because pastors will give an account to God for the performance of their duties, […]
