We will see how her life's plans are upended in a glorious way. She will have many twists and turns to process along the way. Ultimately, she will see her Son die for the sins of the world. She receives Him as Lord and Savior and continues with the other faithful disciples in the Upper Room.
2025-05-1341 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesActs 9:10-31 "The Hunter Becomes the Hunted"Our message begins with Saul, still blind in Damascus. The Lord appears to a man named Ananias and gives him instructions to pray for Saul. Understandably anxious, Ananias obeys the Lord and Saul has his sight restored and is baptized. He immediately begins to preach that Jesus Christ is the Son of God! It's not long before the "persecutor" becomes the "persecuted." When Saul goes to Jerusalem, he experiences the same challenge he faced in Damascus. We will also look at Saul's so-called "silent" years.
2025-05-0541 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesActs 9:1-9 "Paul Apprehended by Christ"In today's episode we look at the marvelous conversion experience of Saul of Tarsus. On his way to persecute the believers in Damascus, Saul encounters the risen Christ. He is shocked to meet the very One he has been persecuting. In submission, he asks the Lord what He would have Saul to do. Temporarily blinded by the encounter, Saul makes his way to Damascus and awaits further instruction.

This time, He comes in on a donkey just as Zechariah had predicted nearly 500 years earlier. The crowds are happy to receive their King so they shout and spread palm branches along the way. But amidst all the celebration and shouting, the Savior weeps. This is the paradox of Palm Sunday. Jesus Christ weeps because His people did not realize the time of their visitation! You and I must be careful not to miss this opportunity to be saved before it's too late!
2025-04-1444 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesActs 8:1-24 "Saved or Self-Deceived?"Persecution scatters the believers away from Jerusalem. One of the Seven (Philip) goes down to Samaria and preaches the Messiah. A great revival takes place and many are saved, healed, and delivered from demonic power. A former magician named Simon also believes and is baptized. But is he really saved? His actions will demonstrate he isn't bearing the fruit of true repentance. There was a delay in the Samaritans receiving the Holy Spirit. Is that the norm for today? Join us as we look at these important topics.
2025-04-0736 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesActs 8:26-40 "The Joy of Salvation"Philip is directed by the angel of the Lord to leave the revival in Samaria and go to a desert place.

The Spirit of God directed him to engage the Ethiopian and the man invited Philip to join him and explain the scriptures. Upon believing, the eunuch requested to be baptized. Philip discerned that the Ethiopian's faith was sincere and he baptized him. Coming out of the water, the Spirit caught away Philip and he continued preaching on his way to Caesarea. The Ethiopian returned home with true j...2025-03-3136 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesActs 4:32-5:16 "When The Devil Comes to Church"The church survived the external attack from the enemy in Acts 3 and 4, but now an internal attack will come from within their own ranks. The believers had a unity so strong it was said they were of "one heart and one soul." Satan sought to undermine this unity through the hypocrisy of Ananias and Sapphira. In this text we will see "great power", "great grace", and "great fear."

2025-03-1842 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesActs 2:47b "Why Do We Need To Be Saved?"As we conclude our study in Acts 2 and the birth of the Church, we see the LORD adding to their number daily those who were being saved. We will look at why all people need to be saved. The Apostle Paul lays out an iron-clad case in Romans 1-3. The wrath of God is being revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness.

They were fulfilling the purposes of worship, evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, and compassion. Their winsome approach became contagious to those around them. As a result, their witnessing met great results. We are told that the LORD added to the church those who were being saved on a daily basis. Luke also emphasized that the disciples were living their faith out every day. It was more than just a Sunday morning expression!
2025-03-0352 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesActs 2:43-45 "Birthday of the Church (Part VII)"In today's episode we look at the birthday of the Church once again. Our focus today will be on the miracles and signs done by the Apostles. We will address such topics as "are there apostles today?" The scriptures tell us that the believers sold property and shared with those in need. Does that mean that the Bible supports socialism, Marxism, and communism? Join us with an open Bible today!
2025-02-2449 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesActs 2:41-42 The Birthday of the Church (Part VI) "A New Devotion"In today's message we look at the exponential growth of the Church on the Day of Pentecost.

Peter reminded them that the promise of the Holy Spirit is for them, their children, and to those who are far off. We also look at the sovereignty of God in calling sinners to repentance.
2025-02-1055 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesActs 2:38 "The Birthday of the Church Part IV"We continue in our study of Acts chapter 2.

2025-01-2746 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesActs 2:14-36 "Birth of the Church Part II: The Church's First Sermon"Continuing in our study of the birth of the Church, we will examine the content of Peter's first sermon on the day of Pentecost.

This time, God delivers Israel into the hands of Midian for 7 years. Israel cries out to God. God sends a prophet to explain why this is happening. In His marvelous grace, He calls a man named Gideon to lead Israel in battle. We will see that this man has many flaws and fears. This is encouraging, because God has chosen the foolish things to confound the wise! God wants to use ordinary people, just like you and me!!

2024-06-1752 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesPsalm 22: "The Suffering King"In this most holy of Psalms, King David describes the Forsaken One who feels abandoned by The Father. As a prophet (Acts 2:30), David speaks of the future abandonment of the Messiah (Jesus Christ). The crucifixion of Christ is prophesied in amazing and precise detail. The Suffering Messiah would be crucified, but later return as the Sovereign King. Jesus Christ took our place on the Cross, so that we might be made righteous (2 Cor 5:21).

Jacob perceived that his favored son was dead. For the next 20 years he would grieve over a lie. The reality was that Joseph was alive, well, and right where God intended him to be.

John is given information by this "Bowl Angel" that explains the nature of the relationship between the Beast, the Ten Horns, and The Harlot. They are able to coexist for a time. But in a dramatic twist, the 10 Kings turn on The Harlot and become the agents of her destruction. Join us with an open Bible as we hear what the Spirit has to say.
2023-09-2547 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesRevelation 17:6-8 ”The Mystery of the Woman and the Beast”One of the angels who had the seven bowls/vials continues to explain to John the "judgment of the great harlot". John was astonished to see this woman was "drunk with the blood of the saints". The attention next turns to the Beast which John had already seen in chapter 13. There is particular emphasis on the fact that the Beast will apparently suffer a fatal would and have a miraculous recovery. All whose names were not written in the Book of Life will worship this beast when they witness his reemergence.
2023-09-1857 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesRevelation 17:1-5 ”The Great Harlot”In today's episode, we look at one of the most difficult passages within the book of Revelation. John is visited by an angelic interpreter who will explain to him the judgment of Great Babylon. The first few verses give a description of this woman who "sits on many waters". Old Testament prophecy and scripture will help us to interpret the symbolism.
2023-09-111h 04Deep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesRevelation 15 & 16 ”The Seven Bowl Judgments”In today's episode, we come to the final series of judgments on the "earth-dwellers" in Revelation. The 7 Bowl (KJV says "vials") Judgments especially target those who worship the beast. They are unprecedented and unparalleled in their scope and destruction. Despite the awful outpouring of God's wrath, men choose to blaspheme God rather than repent. These judgments pave the way for the campaign of Armageddon, and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
2023-09-0557 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesRevelation 14: ”Scenes of Hope”Today we look at the proleptic scene of the Lamb on Mt Zion victorious and the 144,000 are with Him. We also have several dramatic announcements from angels, warning the earth-dwellers of God's judgment to come on unbelievers. One final time, God pleads with men to repent and acknowledge Him as Creator. We also see images of harvest when Jesus and the holy angels are coming to separate the wheat from the tares. God is seen as treading down His enemies like grapes in a winepress.
2023-08-2747 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesRevelation 13:11-18 ”The False Prophet”We are continuing in Revelation 13 and now we are introduced into a second beast that resembles a lamb but speaks as a dragon. We also read of signs, wonders, and miracles that will deceive many into worshipping the first beast (whose deadly wound was healed). These beasts are able to achieve a one-world government and a one-world religion. All will be forced to take the mark of the beast or else they will not be able to buy, sell, or participate in the global economy. This will be a time of unprecedented deception. Make sure that you are familiar with th...2023-08-2248 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesRevelation 13:1-10 ”A Beast Rising From The Sea”In today's episode we are once again introduced to a wild beast rising up from the sea. Chapter 12 described the great red dragon and his fury against the Woman (Israel). Chapter 13 describes the two (human) instruments he will use to take out his wrath against the nation of Israel and the surviving nations. In order to understand this beast with 7 heads and ten horns we must look to the prophet Daniel for clarification.
2023-08-0747 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesRevelation 12: ”The Woman, The Dragon, and The Man Child”Today we look at possibly the most symbolic chapter in The Revelation. In chapter 12 we see a Woman clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet with a garland of 12 stars. Much conjecture has taken place over the identity of the Woman. We will look at her identity as well as the great red dragon and the Man Child who will rule the nations with a rod of iron.

2023-07-1754 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesRevelation Chapter 10: ”A Bittersweet Book”In this chapter, John encounters a powerful angel who delivers to him a little book. This book will be sweet as honey in his mouth, but bitter in his belly. We see many familiar symbols in this angel (cloud, rainbow, radiant face, voice roaring like a lion, etc.). It is tempting for many scholars to identify this mighty angel as Christ. Join us today as we compare and contrast the attributes of this angel with the Lord Jesus. We will also see the Old Testament symbolism that accompanies "the little book".

2023-06-1938 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesRevelation 8 & 9: ”The Trumpet Judgments”With the opening of the 7th Seal, we discover there are seven angels prepared to sound seven Trumpets. These Trumpet judgments will increase in severity from the seal judgments. in fact, by the 6th Trumpet a 1/3 of Earth's population will be extinct.

After John hears about the sealing of the 144,000 Jewish evangelists, he sees a vision of an innumerable company of redeemed people from all over the world!

In this instance, there is a widow woman who has lost her only son. There are two large crowds-one heading for the cemetery and another heading for the city. Two only sons will meet; one alive and destined to die- and another dead and destined to live again! Two sufferers meet and two enemies meet at the city gate. Jesus shows Himself to be the LORD over life and death!
2023-05-1425 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesRevelation 6: ”The Wrath of The Lamb”In today's episode we continue our study of the Book of Revelation. Chapter 6 begins with The Lamb (Jesus Christ) opening the seals from the 7-sealed scroll. The first four seals have accompanying "horsemen" denoting false Christs, war, famine & hyperinflation, and pestilence. The next (5th) seal deals with the cry of the martyrs of Jesus. We conclude with the 6th seal, which includes cosmic signs of unprecedented proportions. Even those who do not believe in God will then declare that the "wrath of The Lamb" has come!
2023-05-081h 03Deep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesDaniel’s 70th WeekIn Daniel 9, the angel Gabriel gave the prophet Daniel one of the most breathtaking and profound prophecies in all of God's Word. In a few brief verses he outlines the time when Messiah (Jesus Christ) will come the first time and be rejected/crucified. He then talks about a future time when another "prince" (Antichrist) will come and briefly outlines his 7-year career. Failure to understand this prophecy leads to all kinds of eschatological confusion.

2023-04-191h 08Deep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesLuke 23:44-46 ”When Hell Came to Calvary”Today we look at two of the miracles that took place when Jesus died on the Cross. There was a darkness that covered the earth for 3 hours. What took place in those three hours? After they were over, another miracle took place- the curtain in the temple was torn from the top to the bottom. What did that signify? And what about the final words of Jesus from the Cross? Join us today as we look at 3 hours when "hell came to Calvary".
2023-03-2747 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesRevelation 3:14-22 ”The Church of the Laodiceans”In today's study, we look at the last of the 7 letters to the Churches in Asian Minor. Laodicea was a wealthy city known for it's banking, shiny black wool, and eye-salve. It had one major problem- an inadequate water supply. Aqueducts carried cold water from Colossae and hot water from the springs of Hierapolis. By the time it arrived in Laodicea, the water was lukewarm and very distasteful. Jesus addresses this final church as being "lukewarm" and He's ready to spit them out of His mouth. But the situation is not beyond repair, if they will simply be zealous and repent2023-03-2037 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesRevelation 3:1-6 ”The Church of Sardis”In today's episode, we look at the Church of Sardis. Unlike the others, Jesus has no commendation for this assembly. By this time Sardis had ceased to be an important city- its greatness lay in the distant past. They were still living off of the "name" of their previous status. Likewise, the church there had a "name" that they were living, but Jesus says they are dead. There is hope, but time is running out. Would they hear what the Spirit was saying to their church? Do we hear Him today?
2023-03-0657 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesRevelation 2:18-29 ”The Church of Thyatira” (Part 2)In today's episode we review some of the high points of our study in Revelation thus far.

2023-02-2752 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesRevelation 2:18-29 ”The Church of Thyatira” (Part One)In today's episode we look at Jesus' letter to the Church of Thyatira. He reveals Himself as the One with eyes as a flame of fire and feet like fine brass. In many ways, this Church has some commendable attributes. They are growing in their faith, love, and perseverance. But there is a deadly poison in their midst. Their tolerance of a false teacher is going to bring this Church under judgment and great tribulation.

2023-02-131h 01Deep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesRevelation 2:8-11 ”The Church of Smyrna”We are not told of the origins of the Church at Smyrna. But Jesus reveals some sobering truths to this ancient congregation. This is one of the 2 churches in Revelation that Jesus has no negative remarks for. They were impoverished by worldly standards, but they were rich in God's estimation. Although the threat of imprisonment and martyrdom was a reality, there was another reality. For those overcomers, they are promised they would not be hurt by the "second death". He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches!
2023-02-0645 minDeep Springs Baptist Church Sermon SeriesRevelation 2:1-7 ”The Church of Ephesus”In today's episode we look at the first of 7 letters to the churches in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). The Church of Ephesus seemed like a desirable church from all outward appearances. They were active and zealous for the ministry and for the name of Christ. But there was one fatal flaw: They had left Jesus in the process!! He encourages them to return to their first Love and gives precious promises to the overcomer.

He identifies with them as a brother and a companion in 3 aspects: tribulation, the Kingdom, and perseverance. John was banished to the island of Patmos for preaching God's Word. But in his tribulation, he was also "in the Spirit" and received a glorious revelation of the risen Christ.
