Don’t Wait on God to Do What You Know to Do

Imagine having everything we need already provided but refusing to take possession of it. There are many things in our lives that God has already given or promised to us. These promises are sure. For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. […]

How America Can Return To God

How America Can Return To God - Pastor Greg Neal

There is no doubt that our country has wandered away from the principles upon which it was founded. There are three basic ways this has happened. We have denied the Lord. America was founded upon Christian principles. However, like the Israelites in Judges 1, our nation has turned against the God who blessed us. Christ […]

Satan Cannot Win, But We Can Lose

Why does Satan want to destroy Christians? Why does he want to destroy churches? Why does he want to destroy pastors? Why does he want to destroy ministries? Why does he want to destroy families? Satan hates the One he knows he cannot defeat. He hates God. He hates Jesus Christ. Knowing he cannot win […]

Increasing Your Faith With God’s Help

Increasing Your Faith With God's Help - Pastor Greg Neal

All of us have a different measure of faith, but we are also able to increase that faith with God’s help. No one has perfect faith. We all have some doubt mingled with our faith, but it is possible to increase the amount of faith we have. More faith is requested when we hope for […]

Camping With the King

I Samuel 22:1-2 says, “David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard it, they went down thither to him. And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; […]

Bring Me My Books

“The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.” II Timothy 4:13 Since I was a small boy I have always loved to read. In our home reading was encouraged, so early on I developed a strong love for books. Perhaps that […]

I Love Our Church Building

A statement that I have seen made throughout this pandemic is: The church is not a building. Sometimes people state it this way: A church is more than a building. While I agree with this statement, I also find it a bit concerning. Satan would love for us to think of the church without discerning […]

Missions Emphasis Sunday

Occasionally I schedule a Missions Emphasis Sunday for our church. The purpose of the Sunday is representative of its name- to emphasize missions. Typically I have used this Sunday whenever I have missionaries scheduled to present their work while on deputation with the intention of adding them to our supported missions family. This past  Sunday […]

The Preacher’s Delight Conference

The Lord met with us during the second annual Preacher’s Delight Conference. Delegates gathered from across the country for a week of Spirit-filled preaching and fellowship. I was amazed and humbled by the crowds and the number of preachers who were in attendance. Each night the Immanuel Baptist Church choir began the service with outstanding […]

The First Conspiracy

I have enjoyed some time away and catching up on some reading. Those who know me know I am an avid reader of American history. This was an interesting book on a relatively unknown part of American history. Our Founding Fathers were extraordinary men who were willing to pay the ultimate price. There were a […]
