04-30-2019 – Terry Joe Kee – Gospel Meeting (PM Sermon)

It makes me mad. And so I just want you to know that the a hour and a half long sermon you’re going to have, I’m not gonna mention max by name, but it’s because of max. So just so you know, you think people would be nicer to you when you visited, but y’all, don’t play cards that way here. You, you, I mean, you just, you don’t, but I had a good time with them and was glad to visit with them today. Last night, we talked about the fact that you cannot, you cannot preach Jesus and not preach the kingdom. You cannot preach about Jesus because Jesus left heaven and came to this earth with a purpose in mind. And that purpose was to establish, to build his kingdom. And so the very idea that we could somehow preach Jesus and not preach his kingdom is just ludicrous. It’s it’s, it’s foolish to even think so, and it certainly cannot be done. And so tonight I want to go a little further in that study and I want to ask us why we need the church. You know, people act like the church is not necessary. It’s not needed, you don’t need the church. And from time to time, I’ll have someone that will tell me that they don’t need the church. They don’t have to have church to go to heaven. That all they need is Jesus. And they’ve got Jesus and they have Jesus …

04-28-2019 – Terry Joe Kee – Gospel Meeting (AM Sermon)

If I were listening, if I had been listening, like I should have been, I think it has been mentioned three times that there’s going to be a potluck meal as soon as we get through. And so I think that that was primarily for my benefit. Not because I’m going to eat that much, but simply because of the fact that it was a reminder to me to, to not preach, not shoot the whole ward this morning. So maybe this the case I’m thankful to be here. And I appreciate the opportunity of being here and I appreciate you breathing and the work that you do here, and certainly you are in my prayers. And I hope and pray that the work here continues to progress. And I hope it continues to prosper. And I appreciate the work. You do keep up the good work, never give up, never give in to Satan and to his influences. I simply this morning want to begin with basically three simple points that I want to make. And I want you to never forget. I’m afraid that we’re living in times when it’s easy to forget things. And sometimes it’s easy to forget who we are and what we’re doing here and where we’re going. And so I want us never to forget at least these three things. And I want you to keep these in mind during this entire week. I want you not to forget them when the week’s …

04-21-2019 – Keith Cozort – Worship: Singing Part 3 (AM Sermon)

If you’re visiting with us, we certainly want you to know that we are honored by your presence. And we do have several visitors with us this morning, family members that are visiting. And for that, we are truly grateful. Hope that you’ll come back at every opportunity that you have. We’re studying a series of sermons concerning worship. What is worship? What is involved in worship? According to the scriptures, a lot of people have the idea that they can do whatever they want to. And God’s going to accept it as being worship and yet going all the way back to the garden, or shortly after the garden of Eden with Cain and Abel, we find out that’s not true. God did not accept Cain’s sacrifice, but he did accept Abel’s sacrifice. And so we’re studying concerning singing. What does the word of God teach concerning scene? The scripture that we’re using as the foundation for this lesson, these lessons of course, is John chapter four, verse 24, where Jesus himself says, God is a spirit. And they, that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. And we’ve noted almost every time. I think, concerning the statement that Jesus makes that those who are going to worship God, acceptably are those who Jesus says must worship him in spirit. And in truth to worship in spirit is to worship in the right frame of mind, to worship God in truth is to worship him according …

04-07-2019 – Keith Cozort – My Great High Priest (PM Sermon)

Certainly, I appreciate you being here and such a beautiful first day of the week. Certainly there are other places we know that you could be if you so chose, but we’re glad that you chose to be here in order to worship. Couple of announcements, I may have mentioned to you this morning that I had texted brother Ivy to see how he was doing. He texted back about 15 minutes after we left the house and I don’t bring my cell phone with me normally to the building. So when we got home, we found that he said, he’s doing good, that the doctor has instructed him, that he is to speak slowly and he is to speak softly and Linda is loving it. So that’s really all the information I got concerning it, but it sounds like things are progressing nicely. For those of you who don’t know, some of you’ve already made mention of it this morning, because you found out in other ways, but anyway, this week starting today, I think it was, or at least it starts tomorrow. There is a lectureship at the Crider congregation, which is outside of West Plains, not far from where gospel Hill is. And they invited me to speak tomorrow night. So I’ll be speaking tomorrow night there at the Crider congregation. Also, if you noticed on the bulletin board out there, there is a gospel meeting that’s also going on next week at the highway one 60 …

04-07-2019 – Keith Cozort – Worship: Singing Part 1 (AM Sermon)

Certainly grateful for your attendance this morning. Appreciate you being here. If you are visiting with us, we want you to know that we’re honored by your visit, ask you to fill out one of the visitors cards that you should find on the back of the Pew in front of you. And you can leave that on the Pew on the seat when you leave. And we’ll collect those when our services are over so that we can ever record of your visit. Some of you have not had the opportunity to ask brother buddy concerning sister Annette. She had surgery this last week on her back. And he said after having her surgery, her blood pressure was had dropped and it had dropped significantly to where the doctors could not give her any pain medication except for Tylenol. And so she’s had a very rough time. The last couple of days last night, though, they were able to get her blood pressure up to where they could give her some pain medicine. And certainly we’re grateful for that, but we certainly want to continue to remember her in our prayers, continue to remember brother Ivy Powell and your prayers as well. He said to make sure that the congregation knew how much he was appreciating the fact that we were praying for him before he ever went in for surgery. But certainly now that he’s had his surgery, which was last week as well, we want to continue …
