Bible Baptist Church

Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance... These are all attributes of the one true God. It is because our Lord is of such a holy character that our souls may be saved and our lives are blessed in ways too numerous to count. God the Holy Spirit dwells within each born-again child of God. He is willing and able to produce these same character traits in all believers. In this book we will learn how to yield to His control so that He might do a great work in conforming us into the image of our Savior.

Two truths are certainly stated in the pages of the Holy Bible: 1. That Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. 2. That believers are sent into the world to proclaim this good news. Herein is set forth a reasoned, Biblical call for every individual and every church to be actively involved in the work of evangelism. The Great Commission takes the reader point-by-point through the calling given to every child of God to make the gospel known to others. The Benefits of Public Evangelism sets forth the God-ordained method of reaching the multitudes used by every prophet in the Old ...

Part of the furor in the Middle East is the identity of Israel. Various sects of Christianity try to tackle its relationship with the nation, kingdom, and homeland of the Jews. With that in mind, this book aims to answer the following question Biblically: Why is the Church not and never will be Israel? Discover: The five main views of the relationship between the Church and Israel The difference between the New Testament and New Covenant (It's not what you think) Why passages that seem to imply that the Church is Israel doesn't actually say so The question is explored in many angles, and...

While it is both proper and necessary to hold fast to the truth of the deity of Jesus Christ, this is often done to the neglect of the many rich blessings to be found in the study of our Lord’s humanity. With clarity and close attention to detail, Brother James takes the reader through the many fascinating doctrinal and spiritual wonders connected with the Son of God becoming the Son of Man. You will be greatly blessed as you read and learn about the great mystery of godliness – God was manifest in the flesh.

This is a Bible study guide collection on three people: Peter, Paul, and Mary (and other women who encountered Jesus) in one volume. Each study is planned for about seven weeks or 50 days.

Mary the mother of the Lord Jesus Christ was involved in many aspects of his life from his birth to the death. This Bible study collection is designed for either personal or group study. The author wrote these ...

Come along and enjoy the adventure as Brother James tells of God’s working in his life. Starting with his earliest childhood memories and swiftly moving through five decades, this narrative relates the marvelous way in which the Lord has blessed and chastened one of His own.

Read of church planting, world-wide evangelism, and changed lives. Read of failure, missteps, and disappointment. Through it all readers will be...

Confused by the overtly philosophical, wordy, and Biblically lacking treatises on the Trinity? Then this is for you. In The Image Of God by Samuel Garcia attempts to tackle one of the core doctrines of Christianity by paying attention to the ignored singular analogy of the Trinity in the Bible text itself: the trinity of man, and how it fits nicely with the traditional and current perception of the Trinity with little contradiction, yet confident in its assertion of the importance of rightly dividing the word of God and make solid statements about the Trinity that few dare make. The ...

Over the thirty-six years I have been in the Baptist ministry, certain questions have repeatedly come to my ears. They tend to come from young people, teenagers, coming into their own, and bold enough to ask. As children, they attended church because their parents told them to. They attended the church they did, because their parents told them to, and they “believed” what they did because their parents told them to. Some of them grew up in homes where their parents tried to teach them not only what the church they attended believed, but why. In some cases, that didn’t happen, but in ...

These are tales about what it means to learn of life and death and trust and companionship, as seen through the eyes of two boys, who from the age of six to twelve roamed deep into the woods and waterways, into and out of one wild scrape after another. The project began long ago as a gift to Brother James’ nieces, was set aside for two decades, and reworked and completed in the fall of 2013. Brother James said, “Everything I have learned in my life about writing is poured forth in this book. Some will be disappointed that it is not a commentary or exposition, but I believe that all who ...

THE great topic of the Epiphany season is that of the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the Saviour of Men. During His life on earth that manifestation was made in wonderful, miraculous manner. A strange star guided wise men from the East to the manger bed at Bethlehem, there to find and worship the King of kings. A glorious transfiguration gave assurance of His Divine dignity to the inner circle of His. Apostles. In all His ministry, from Cana to Bethany, were constantly recurring miracles which proclaimed Him Son of God. These miracles, with their revelation of ...

As an English-speaking denomination, Baptists originated within 17th-century Puritanism as an offshoot of Congregationalism. English Baptists migrated to the American colonies during the 17th century. During the 18th century, the Great Awakening resulted in the expansion of the denomination, and the conversion of many slaves to Baptist churches. Baptist congregations formed their first national organization the Triennial Convention in the early 1800.

The core purpose of this series is to dig through the cultural, ecclesiastical, and corporate (business) issues that have been added to the church over the last two thousand years. I am not interested in getting rid of these trappings so much as discovering what they are and what the bedrock of the church would look like without them. Once exposed, then we can decide what to keep and what is unnecessary. Over the years, I began to put together a list of criteria which I would periodically hold up to a congregation to help them determine whether they were still on track with what God wanted ...

THE LAMBS WORKBOOK shows the reader that being sexually abused as a child (or at least an adolescent) was experienced by at least one of the Old Testament patriarchs. It also shows that Jesus Christ himself has shared in suffering unjustly at the hands of false religious leaders. The book offers one lesson per week, with wonderful explanatory devotions to read for each day between the lessons. This format is an amazing tool and is, in my opinion, Jeri Massi's finest work in her outreach to victims of clergy abuse. The workbook offers valuable lessons and simple instruction for those who ...

Every mention of the word church in the King James New Testament identified, classified and taught in view of the context. This book seeks to defend the position of the local church and clarify that there is no universal church found in the Bible.
