Life Experiences of Paul
Acts 22,23
Paul is about to be arrested.  See how he is set up - and see even more of that modern Pentecostal flavouring we hear from almost every pulpit these days - even Bible Believers!  See how it is explained by rightly dividing the word of truth.  Just follow along in your Bible as we go through verse by verse.

4th - Sunday am service
What Testimony of Christ Do You Profess?
We rightly dividing the testimony of Christ in this sermon.  Just because someone says they profess a salvation or if they profess Jesus Christ, are they / you professing the rightly divided testimony of Christ?

Global Warning
Was the New Orleans Catastrophe a result of global warming?  Was it all God's judgment?  Neither!  Hear what the Bible says God's judgment really will be - it certainly isn't what we are seeing these days.  In fact, even though the Gulf Coast took a huge hit - the biggest hit ever - God still appears to have kept New Orleans from a major disaster.  The floods, though, are a result of man's work, not God's.  The hurricane?  Well, maybe some folks will seek God more now - unfortunately, with the King James Bible missing from so many pulpits, most won't even be able to find the right Christ - just 'another' one.

Absolute Music for an Absolute God
Part IIIa
The Design of Japheth's Best Music - Foundational Notation
What do those circles and lines mean?  How is Japheth's music different from Ham and Shem?  How is the music of Japheth so absolute in design?  Give this sermon a try.

11th - Sunday School
Life Experiences of Paul
Acts 24,25a
We can learn some lessons here from the great orator named Tertullus as well as from Felix and Festus.  See why people call us heretics today in verse 14.  If that is the definition of a heretic, than I am a heretic!!  Are you willing to do your friends and family a pleasure instead of tell them the truth?  Like said, we can learn from Festus in these chapters.  Just follow along in your Bible as we go through each verse.

Where is God Today?
Acts 23:11
More and more folks are asking, Where is God Today?"  Here are some thoughts that can help you ask yourself why you are asking that particular question - and some possible reasons as to why thing may be happening to you that would make you ask that question.  Again, we can learn from Moses, as well.

This is Where God is Today!
This is the simple answer to the question, "Where is God Today?" Boy, this answer sure seems to stir folks everywhere!  O well!  Here is the answer!  Notes will be coming ASAP.

Absolute Music for an Absolute God
Part IIIb
The Design of Japheth's Best Music - Melody
Now that we have a 'slight' concept of the lines, spaces and notes of musical notation, let us look at what makes a good Godly melody!  I preached my heart out on this subject - melody is so important for a Christian to be aware of.  I hope you can listen to all of this sermon - but I do apologize for my singing voice!

18th - Sunday School
Life Experiences of Paul
Acts 25:14 through chapter 26:1-18;26-32
Once again, we can learn a few amazing practical daily life applications from Paul's life experiences.  This week, we read through his time with King Agrippa.  Verses 18-25 are dealt with in the following a.m. service.  As is common through this Sunday School series, there are no written notes - just follow along in your Bible as we read each verse and 'bring it home.'

18th - Sunday am service
Words of Truth and Soberness
Acts 26:25
Preaching the truth is serious business - it was to Paul and it should be to us - so we must make sure we are preaching the truth as we are commanded by the Scriptures to preach truth!  As Christians, we should be heeding the words of truth that Paul is preaching - not just the weekly salvation messages that are becoming more and more common in our Bible Believing churches.  In other words, Christian - is your life changing now that you are saved - or are you just the same as before, only saved...?

18th - Sunday pm service
Let No Man Despise Thee
Titus 2:15
This is also applicable to a parent - or even to just someone willing to be a witness to the RISEN Christ as well as the crucified Christ.  Preaching the most marvelous message in the universe these days gets a pastor, preacher and parent, etc. dissed from those around him as well as in the church circle.

Part IIIc
The Design of Japheth's Best Music - Harmony
Now that we have a 'slight' concept of the lines, spaces and notes of musical notation, as well as having a general concept of what makes a good Godly melody, we take a very 'simple' look at harmony.  (harmony is more than one played at the same time - a chord)  We look at how a chord is developed, constructed and how they affect our feelings.  We also then look at a chord progression - how chords move throughout the music.   A bonus teaching is how we see that the very same chord progression that Japheth developed to praise God is used by the devil in rock music, only with the Hammite beat added.

 Life Experiences of Paul
Acts 27
HOW TO SURVIVE THE COMING STORM - LIGHTEN THE LOAD, DAD and GET SERIOUS!
Once again, we can learn a few amazing practical daily life applications from Paul's life experiences.  This week, we will learn how to make it through the storms of life - and this is some of the best 'counseling' that you will ever hear!  As is common through this Sunday School series, there are no written notes - just follow along in your Bible as we read each verse and 'bring it home.'  PS - This is also good for you if you are in a storm right now!!!

25th - Sunday am service
 Pillar of Truth
What about this thing called "Truth?"  What does Touchet Baptist Church do concerning Truth - what should YOU do concerning Truth?  Even though I tried to 'cram' too much material into this sermon, the notes ought to give you plenty to study on your own, if you were to be so inclined, that is.
DL
25h - Sunday pm service
 A Journey
Life is a journey - church here has been a journey for us - your Christian walk is a journey - parenting is a journey - the King James Bible is all about a journey - and truth has been on a journey.  Learn about them all here.  Then, maybe you can understand why things are the way they are today in these journeys.

Men's Meeting
27th
Men / Fathers - Sink or Swim!
Acts 27 Men's Meeting
Notes on Acts 27
This is a message from my heart to the fathers of Touchet Baptist Church as well as some of our website families - your families are imploding - they are headed for shipwreck.  Men, set aside your projects for an hour and listen to this sermon in the privacy of your own office / car / den / etc.  I encourage you to listen to this and respond before you lose your family / kids.  Dads, we must get Scripturally angry at the right person.  We are into the storm, there is no turning back - now what do you do?  Listen to Paul!  This simple message could save your family!

 Absolute Music for an Absolute God
Part IIId
The Leaven of Harmony & Form of Japheth's Best!
Listen to a few examples of how the jazzed up chords from the 1930's, etc. have spoiled the purity of our solid & pure hymns.  Also, I try to explain the lack of confusion in the design of Japheth's best.  We learn about Symphony, Concerto, Sonata, etc.  This sermon informs the hearer of more of God's blessing to Japheth's music compared to the curse of what the world has done to God's music.

Also note that Netscape will show these pages as I designed them to look - I have no clue as to why the "big blue e" doesn't.  Just so you know... some of those poor designs are not true to my plan.
