Sound doctrine – teaching that is pure, clean, “hygienic”. What is it and what benefit is there to it? Some will be furnished by it and utilize it for good; others will not endure it but will turn to fables.

The son was always a son, even though he was a disobedient son. And the father was always the father, even though for a period of time he was in anguish over his son. Listen in and discover a few of the many lessons from this well known parable.
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:17. Where do you seek validation? Recent sermon delivered by Brother Seth Kelly.
“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us…” Hebrews 12:1
And that cloud of witnesses continues with us today, and continues to enlarge with each generation.
In Hebrews 11, we learn that the parents of Moses overcame fear by faith. We also learn that Moses, by faith, was able to overcome the temptation to pursue the pleasures of sin, which only last for a season. The amazing thing is, you and I have the same faith today, thousands of years later. We are a part of the same grand story with these Old Testament saints; the unfolding of the will of God. And the common thread we share is a God-given faith that allows us to overcome fear, temptation, suffering, affliction, and every other challenge and obstacle that comes our way.
New Year’s Resolutions still intact? Let’s consider a Biblical approach to reflecting and readjusting, any time of the year, any time change is needed. Take a listen as Brother Matt helps us discover a pattern in the first 14 verses of Philippians Chapter 3 – Reset, Reflect, Reassess, Realign, Recharge, Resume.
Faith doesn’t wait until all the questions are answered, or until the end is clearly seen. Faith focuses on the promises of God, on the anticipated outcome; not the obstacles along the way. With a focus on the glory of God, faith directs our decisions into the will of God.
When Abraham was called to go, by faith he obeyed. Faith doesn’t wait until all the questions are answered. Faith focuses on the promises of God, on the anticipated outcome; not the obstacles along the way. With a focus on the glory of God, faith directs our decisions into the will of God.
Rocky Mount Church was wonderfully blessed to enjoy the preaching of Elder David Wise and Elder Marty Smith during our Anniversary Meeting this year (2016). The Lord impressed upon the minds of these two servants the very messages the congregation needed during each service. May the Spirit be with you as you listen.

“And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost”, 1Thessalonians 1:6. As you embrace Christ, as you receive God’s word, as you deny yourself and turn away from the world, the Holy Spirit becomes your only source of true and lasting joy.
