One Hope

Lost Mountain Baptist Church

One Hope

May 29, 2022 • Matt Jeffreys • Psalm 1, Psalm 30

In this message, we will explore theological perspectives on evil and sin emphasizing hope and healing through Christ amidst societal challenges. We will discuss the importance of biblical teachings, worship, and serving one another in love as being key to a redemptive mission in a broken world and reflect on the contrast between following a path of wickedness and following a path of faithfulness.

Managing Anger

September 22, 2024 • David Conley • Matthew 5:21–22

In today's message, we discuss the destructive consequences of anger. Jesus, in the Sermon on the Mount, equates anger and contempt with the destructive consequences of murder. Anger can lead to harmful actions and negative consequences, as seen in Mark 7:21-22 and Proverbs 14:29. Anger itself is not a sin but an emotion, and the Bible encourages being slow to anger and responding with kindness, compassion, forgiveness, and love. Think what could happen if you allow God to transform destructive anger into an expression of His love and reconciliation?

Overwhelmed to Overjoyed

September 15, 2024 • Kenn Kington • Hebrews 11

Do you ever find yourself overwhelmed by today’s culture? Guest speaker Kenn Kington shares with us how he deals with such issues by intentionally turning his focus to God and his word rather than dwelling on sources of problems or struggles. Reflecting on Hebrews 11, he challenges us to make five decisions that will help to redirect our focus toward seeking God’s strength and trusting in God rather than external factors. Finally, he encourages believers to be intentional about serving in the local church and doing life together with fellow believers.

Unsettled Times

July 14, 2024 • Matt Jeffreys

In light of recent events, we are reminded of the fragility of life and the importance of being prepared for the unknown. The importance of truth, honesty, and careful speech, especially in the context of politics and divisive issues is imperative. Christians must maintain their allegiance to Jesus Christ and extend God's grace to others, even during politically contentious times.
