SERMON TITLE: I Know Sin is Deadly, but...
SERMON THEME: The Temptation of Jesus
SERMON SERIES: The Gospel by Mark
SERMON VERSES: Mark 1:13-14; Luke 4:1-13

Satan attacks in three realms
* Appetite - a desire for pleasure, I.e., the lusts of the flesh
* Possessions and Material things - the lusts of the eyes
* Ambition, Power, and Recognition - the pride of life

Applications
- Satan can entice but not enforce! We like to blame Satan, but for the Christian the buck stops with us!
- Satan is a master at twisting scripture and using it out of context... and do are we!
- Scripture properly used, is a key to avoid falling into sin!
- Resisting Satan will cause him to desist, for a season. He targets us; he knows.
- We will battle temptations until we go home to Jesus, so we better be strong in the Lord.
- Jesus succors those who are temped!

Keep fighting!
Have grace, avoid bring judgemental
Get IN the book

SERMON VERSES: 2Timothy 3:1-

Signs of the Last Days: More and more people will become…
* Self-centered: lovers of self, wealth, and pleasure

* Turn away from sinful reprobates; don’t allow the wickedness affect the culture of the local churches

Baptism: A Public Testimony of Salvation and Submission

Listen here using the Embedded Subsplash Player



Central Baptist Church of Ponca City, OK

DATE: Sunday AM, May 10, 2020
SERMON BY: Dr. John Waterloo
SERMON TITLE: Baptism: A Public Testimony of Salvation and Submission
SERMON THEME:The Significance of Baptism
SERMON SERIES: The Gospel by Mark
SERMON VERSES: Mark 1:4-11

Mark 1:4-11 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. 6 And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; 7 And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. 8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

Mark 1:9   And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. 10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: 11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

We baptize…
* those who have repented and believed in Jesus THE Messiah and Savior (What REAL believer does not want to ID with Jesus?) to demonstrate that salvation is REAL!
* those who have come from a different doctrinal set or denomination (as a testimony that they are aligning with our Baptist doctrine)
* because Jesus commanded it (the Great Commission)
* to fulfill ALL righteousness

Jesus was baptized…
* to validate John’s minatory and John’s God-given authority
* to receive the testimony from Heaven!
* to set an example for all New Testament believers who choose to follow Him!

Applications
1. Baptism is NOT a part of salvation (e.g., Jesus didn’t Baptize and Paul baptized little), but it is and example of submission and obedience to Jesus.
2. New beginning (walking in newness of life!)
3. Baptism identifies us with our particular group, specifically our distinct doctrinal set and the authority of our particular local assembly

Trust in the LORD

Central Baptist Church of Ponca City, OK

DATE: Sunday PM, May 3, 2020
SERMON BY: Bro. Lynn Schuyler
SERMON TITLE: Trust in The LORD
SERMON THEME: Stay the Course, Stick to the Path
SERMON SERIES: Standing in the Gap
SERMON VERSES: Proverbs 3:5, 6

Proverbs 3:5, 6 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

If we will but…

* TRUST the LORD with ALL your heart — He’s taken care of our eternal life.  Surely we can trust Him with THIS life!  He is in total control, and we are His children that He loved enough to sacrifice His own Son.
* and not LEAN into your own understanding (Our hearts are desperately wicked and our pride is without measure).
* and in all WAYS (everything you do) acknowledge HIM! (Follow God’s lead!)

When we do these things…

* He will direct us!  As in the 40-year wilderness sojourn, He is our trailblazer!  He will make our paths spiritually prosperous, an abundant life (His definition, not ours!).

Preparing the Way—Pre-Evangelism

Listen here using the Embedded Subsplash Player



Central Baptist Church of Ponca City, OK

DATE: Sunday AM, May 3, 2020
SERMON BY: Dr. John Waterloo
SERMON TITLE: Preparing the Way—Pre-Evangelism
SERMON THEME: God Sent John, Preaching REPENTANCE, to Prepare the Nation for The Messiah
SERMON SERIES: The Gospel by Mark
SERMON VERSES: Mark 1:1-8

The Gospel by Mark (written by John Mark) is written to the Gentiles, specifically the Romans.  This is most likely the John Mark that failed as a missionary-trainee in the book of Acts, and was refused by Paul, but then trained by Barnabas.

**Mark 1:1-8**   *The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; 2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. 6 And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; 7 And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. 8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.*

* John was sent to prepare the way for Jesus’ First Coming.  We are here to Prepare the Way for Jesus’ Second Coming.
* John made an impact because his life matched his message.  He lived out his convictions and made his job his priority!  He had God’s power and God’s message!  He didn’t worry about fitting into his nation’s religious system or its carnal lifestyles.
* Like John, we have a vital ministry!  So, like John, let’s be separated, passionate, and faithful!
