My Convention Sermon 2019

Posted on June 18, 2019 by pastorgoforth • 1 Comment

I attended this last week’s Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting.  If you don’t know how SBC churches work, we do not have a hierarchy that directs local churches top down.  But we are a bottom up fellowship of cooperating churches.  We cooperate for Missions and Kingdom Advancement, as well as for training pastors and providing … Continue reading →

A Watch Man

Now I’ll say upfront, that I could go a whole different direction with that title, and talk about a watchman on the wall etc. and perhaps I will another day.  But I wanted to share with you a few thoughts from a homegoing celebration yesterday of a fine man that passed into eternity. This man … Continue reading →

Peace, Perfect Peace

I don’t usually do this, but I’m posting Hymn/Spiritual Song Text today. I was doing some reading this week and ran across a hymn text by Rev. Edward Bickersteth Jr. He was vacationing and heard a sermon from Isaiah 26:3-4 – thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee.  Trust ye … Continue reading →

Bearing The Yoke

Posted on March 19, 2019 by pastorgoforth • 1 Comment

Just a short thought about bearing the yoke, that is the struggles of life. MOST TIMES: we are trying to “lay God at the foot of our problems.”  That is we try and bring God to our struggles and ask him to fix them, explain, them, etc.  But by doing that, we are interpreting God … Continue reading →

Dead In The Garden

Posted on March 28, 2018 by pastorgoforth • Leave a comment

This is a little more lengthy, a sermon, but a good read on the battlefield that is Prayer Dead In The Garden Matthew 26:36-46; Luke 22:39-49 The Garden of Gethsemane.  What a beautiful and poetic place in our minds, literature, songs, and all these last 2000 years. The name “Gethsemane” comes from the root Aramaic … Continue reading →

Cavalry or Calvary?

Posted on October 3, 2017 by pastorgoforth • 2 Comments

So, years ago, in a small Central Texas town, there was a church, a simple little L-shaped brick church.  The Calvary Baptist Church.  Great name for a church.  They built a sign out front and painted the name of the church, “The CALVERY Baptist Church”.   It was a misprint that wasn’t noticed for a … Continue reading →

John 13:13-15 You call me ‘teacher’ and ‘Lord’, rightly so, for that is what I am. 14 Now that I, your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you also should was one another’s feet. 15 I have set you and example that you should do as I have done. The night before his crucifixion, … Continue reading →

Rivers of Waters

Rivers of waters … we have seen it this week, whether in person or on the media outlets John 7:38 Whoever believes in me, as the scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him (NIV84) How do we survive the waters?  How do we survive the toxic floods, the rivers and … Continue reading →

What an Opportunity

Posted on August 14, 2017 by pastorgoforth • Leave a comment

So, in the growing face of division on the ethnic front, my frustration is often that the church is either silent, or so loud that you can’t hear, and generally loud about the wrong things. However, in the reality that the church, especially the church of a lighter hue of skin, is often silent on … Continue reading →
