Bethel Pulpit - Primitive Baptist Sermons

Christ Our Banner

On Sunday, 7/4/21, Elder Mike Gowens took the occasion of the day set aside to reflect on political freedom to develop some thoughts concerning what the Bible says about the Christian's "flag." 

I Am Debtor

Elder E. W. Hooven delivered this message from Romans 1:14 to our congregation on 6/27/21, during Bethel's Communion Meeting.

The Doctrine of Regeneration

This message by Elder Bernard Gowens, based on John 5:24-25, was delivered to our congregation on 6/26/21 during our Communion Meeting.

The Brevity of Life

This message by Elder Ronnie Loudermilk from Psalm 39:4 was delivered to our congregation on June 26, 2021, during our Communion Weekend Meeting.

Approaching the Throne in Prayer

The 6/27/21 message by Michael Gowens is #14 in the Hebrews study. Once more, he looks at Hebrews 4:14-16, this time focusing on the practical application of Christ's priesthood. Because we have a Great High Priest, we have reason to persevere in faithful discipleship, and we have encouragement to pray with confidence.

You Have a Priest

Michael Gowens' sermon from 6/6/21 is based on Hebrews 4:14. It focuses on the reality and implications of Christ's priesthood in the life of the child of God. This is sermon #13 in the Exposition of Hebrews series.

The Promise of Gospel Rest

Elder Gowens' 5/30/21 sermon takes a look at Hebrews 4:1-13 in the continuation of the study in the book of Hebrews. This is message #12 in that series.

Beware A Wandering Heart

Elder Michael Gowens' 5/2/21 sermon looks at Hebrews 3:7-19 and the story of the children of Israel in the wilderness. The writer applies this chapter in Israel's history to believers today, calling upon them to avoid the peril of an unbelieving heart that keeps its distance from the God that promised. This is message #11 in the Hebrews study.

A Greater Than Moses

Elder Gowens' 4/25/21 sermon continues the study in Hebrews with a look at Hebrews 3:1-5, and a contrast between Moses, the eminent figure of Jewish history, and the Lord Jesus Christ, the Object of the Christian's faith. This is message #10 in the Hebrews series.

Consider Jesus

In this message from 4/25/21, Michael Gowens highlights what many believe to be "the text of the sermon that is Hebrews," Hebrews 3:1. In this fast-moving day of sound-bites and thirty-second infomercials, the discipline of sustained focus is increasingly rare. But such a concentrated gaze on Jesus Christ is crucial to discipleship. Listen as Br Gowens challenges us to focus intently on Christ. This is message #9 in the Hebrews series.
