02-03-2019 – Keith Cozort – Joshua, A Man of The Book (PM Sermon)

Open your Bibles with me, if you will, to the book of Joshua. I mean, as I announced this morning, I would like for us to study concerning Joshua, a man of the book, Certainly glad that you’re able to be here tonight wants to read verses one through nine of chapter one. This is going to serve as the introduction to the book of Joshua, certainly, excuse me. But it’s also where we’re going to be taking our lesson from this evening, beginning in verse one. Now, after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, it came to pass that the Lord spake unto Joshua, the son of nun, Moses’s minister saying, Moses, my servant is dead now, therefore arise and go over this Jordan thou and all this people under the land, which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel, every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon that. Have I given unto you, as I said, unto Moses from the wilderness of this Lebanon, even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites and under the great sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your coast. There shall not any man be able to stand before the, all the days of my life as I was with Moses. So I will be with thee. I will not fail the North for safety, be strong and have a good courage for …

02-03-2019 – Keith Cozort – Worship: The Apostle’s Doctrine Part 2 (AM Sermon)

We certainly appreciate your presence this morning. If you are visiting with us, we want you to know that we’re honored by your visit and hope that you’ll come back at every opportunity that you have. Yeah. For the last month, anyway, we’ve been studying concerning worship and we’re going to continue that study this morning. Last week, we started dealing with the apostles doctrines spoken of in acts chapter two and in verse 41, and we’re going to continue actually verse 42. We’re going to continue studying that particular subject. Last week, we were studying concerning preaching or teaching his worship, and we noted several different things and then proceeded to go on to other things. But I want us to back up to that particular idea and to recognize, first of all, that Jesus commanded us to preach and to teach. When you look at passages, such as Mark chapter 16, verses 15 and 16, where Jesus in Mark’s account anyway, gives the great commission under the apostles. Jesus says, go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believe it, that is baptized shall be saved. He, that believeth not shall be damned here. Jesus gives the command and it is a command. It’s not a request. It’s not a, just a, I think this is a good idea. This is a command that Jesus gives to the apostles that they are to go into all the world and preach the …

01-27-2019 – Keith Cozort – Babel Wasn’t All Babble (PM Sermon)

Certainly good to have you here this evening. See this number out. We appreciate you. Being here has been a beautiful first day of the week, even with the snow that we had a little bit of this morning. Certainly couldn’t tell it by the time we got finished with our worship this morning and got out, but we are certainly grateful for your presence. Open your Bibles with me. If you will, to Genesis chapter 11, Genesis chapter 11, I want us to read the first nine verses of this chapter concerning an account that most all of us are familiar with as it relates toward the tower of Babel Genesis chapter 11, because what we’re going to see here is that Bible wasn’t all babbled, Abel, wasn’t all babble. Notice what Moses records and the whole earth was of one language and of one speech. And it came to pass. As they journeyed from the East that they found a plain in the land of Shiner and dwelt there. And they said one to another, go to let us make brick and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone and slime had they for mortar. And they said, go to let us build us a city and a tower whose top may reach unto heaven. And let us make us a name lest we should be less. We be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. The Lord came down to see the city …

01-27-2019 – Keith Cozort – Worship: The Apostle’s Doctrine Part 1 (AM Sermon)

Is good to be back home. It’s good to see you. And to be able to be with you this morning, we had a very good trip down to Lakeland, Florida for the Florida school of preaching lectureship. That’s where I attended the school of preaching and had a very good lectureship there. Just so that some of you know, it’s not always in the seventies and eighties in Florida. Okay. I lived there for 10 years, so I can vouch for that. But there were a couple of nights where it get down, got down into the thirties. And we, we were out a couple afternoons when we had to go to the grocery store for, for some things. And those Floridians were going around with winter jackets on, I mean, overcoats. And we were there either with a light coat on or nothing at all. I mean that, I mean, no coat, no coat. Sorry about that. But anyway, it did get cool, but it, it started warming up as the week, went long, went along and did get up to about 80 a couple of days, Thursday and Friday, I think it was, but we had a very good trip down. We were ahead of the front that brought all the cold weather to you last weekend. And, but on our way down, we’d, hadn’t even thought about it until we were actually there that when we got to South Alabama on Friday or no Saturday last …

01-13-2019 – Keith Cozort – What Was And Is Idolatry Part 2 (PM Sermon)

Certainly grateful for your presence this evening, as you know, our numbers were down this morning. And so we fully anticipated that they would be down again tonight. Not quite as much as I thought, maybe. So we are certainly grateful for you being here. Sister Costco was not feeling good this morning. The reasons she was not here and she’s not here again tonight, but also Keith, let me know that she received word today that her mother passed away. If she had lived till the 25th, I think you said the 25th, she would have been a hundred years old, but fortunately she was not having health issues and she just faded away. And certainly that’s one of the best ways to go if you’re going to go. But certainly remember Costco and her family and your prayers, if you would, He became a Christian, her mother<inaudible> That’s. That’s great. Yeah. Okay. That’s that’s great. Statistics show us that older individuals are less likely to obey the gospel than those who are younger. They are set in their ways. And so when you hear of someone who’s up in their seventies and their eighties or something like that, and they obey the gospel, it, it certainly, of course it always causes us joy. It should anyway. But to hear somebody that is up in age like that, that realizes that they’ve not done what they need to do and to make the proper preparations for heaven. That’s certainly …
