  • Who Are You?
    Oct 26 2025

    This morning, I ask you to examine your life during this message. Not just asking yourself if you have a personal relationship with Jesus, but that you are known by Him, and that people know that you know Him. We hear people say, 'Well, I was born a Christian,' or 'My mom and dad were Christians.' That doesn't make you a Christian. 'Well, I went to church; that must count for something.' Known by Him. Matthew 7:21-23 tells us that many will stand before Him and say, 'I did all these things in your name.' We must realize that because we read the book and go through the motions, it doesn't mean that we are known by Him. Even here in verse 15, the evil spirit said, 'I know Paul; I know Jesus. Who are you?' How do we know it wasn't known by God, because he didn't say, 'My God knows me, and I know Paul, and so forth.' We must realize that church attendance doesn't mean that folks are heaven-bound.

  • Fire Of Life.
    Oct 19 2025

    We see that the king calls for all his men and says, 'Look at this, folks. Look at what their God has done. We put three in the fire, and they didn’t scream or yell in agony and in pain. Their God showed up and walked about the fire. Smell them; they don’t smell like smoke. Look, not a hair is singed. It’s how we react in the fire; it’s when our witness is the strongest, when we are in the fire. What are people saying when they see us in the fire? Look at them; they are walking tall. They aren’t breaking down; they aren’t crying, 'Woe is me.' They are walking with the God of all. Trusting in Jesus. No is often easy for us to say, but the reality is we find it hard at certain times in our lives. We see that they trusted in God; they didn’t bow because it was convenient or the right thing to do. They didn’t bow because their trust was placed in the God of the Universe. And when we place our trust in the God of the universe, people will want what we have, not because of us, but because in the fire, we are trusting in the only thing that can get us through, and that’s Jesus.

  • Our Will Or His.
    Oct 12 2025

    We see that Jesus cries out and says, "Father, not my will be done, but yours." Now we have to understand that Jesus cries out of anguish and discomfort, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. How can we say that? Well, he was God in the flesh, understand, he was the Son of God in the flesh. So let me ask this: Have you ever hurt so bad, been under so much agony that you sweat drops as if it was blood? And that you cried out and said, "Father, not my will but yours be done"? I can’t do this, but if you ask me to, if you set this cup before me, I’ll do it. Well, brother Tom, that’s not the same; Jesus was on his way to the cross to die for our sins and the sins of the world. Well, we aren’t dying for anyone, but we should be dying to self. The Book of Mark says, Mark 8:35, "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it." It’s in the hour of discomfort that we find the plan of God moving ever so diligently to bring us to him. Peace isn’t found after surrender; it’s found in surrender. Peace doesn’t come when everything’s fixed — it comes when your heart finally lets go. In one hour, everything can change, and we see this in scripture; it isn’t just another Bible story, it’s not just another outline of what was yet to come. If we would simply just stay awake and say, "Ok, Lord, what are you doing in my life?" If we would simply stay awake spiritually, or even physically, for one hour and just say, "Here I am, what’s your will?" Spending time in his word, learning not only who Jesus is and who he came to be for us, but what he saved us from.

  • Clean Up.
    Oct 5 2025

    Luke 15:16-17

    16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

    17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

    We look at the prodigal son and instantly think of how he came back to his father. But I want to point out he didn’t get cleaned up after eating slop. How do we know? The Bible never mentions it. He didn’t prepare an excuse for leaving; it says he ran to his father, and when he was far off, his father saw him and rejoiced, 'My son is alive! Kill the fattened calf, get the family ring! My son is alive!' We get so caught up in the rejoicing that we miss the most important thing: the repentance. And I want us to look at something else - David, in Psalms 51, we recall the moment when he repents. But notice it doesn’t say anything about him washing up. Why is this so important? Well, in Judea and Jewish customs, it’s considered holy to wash up, to clean up, to rinse off, to become proper before coming to the father's house or entering into a time of prayer. I’m not talking about a bath or shower this morning; I’m talking about a moment when we realize it doesn’t matter how clean we appear to be, we are sinners in need of a savior. So David’s cry was the same as the son's - not just for forgiveness but also for cleanliness, to rid of the filth that was on them. David cried out, 'Cleanse me and wash me.' The prodigal son ran to the father, and then the father said, 'Give him all clean stuff.' See, the father cleaned the prodigal up, and David. Often times, we eat the slop of life, the sin that so easily entangles us, and we find ourselves trying to get cleaned up, if you will.

  • In Tune
    Sep 28 2025

    I remember as a child, my mother would listen to the radio constantly. And many times I would find comfort in the songs that played; they became a therapy for me. And there would be times where the antenna would have to be adjusted. And just like us, sometimes we get out of tune with the Father and the Holy Spirit, and we have to be retuned so we can be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. But we grieve. We find ourselves grieving and missing the portion that God has for us. Psalms 73:26 says, 'My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.' But if we are grieving what God has given us, pushing it back because it may be uncomfortable, we may never find ourselves in tune. Because, like anything, if you miss a portion, you miss a lot. If you miss a portion of a movie or a song, you've missed something, and it doesn't make sense. But when we miss God's portion, it's because we have grieved the Holy Spirit. And that brings me to my second point: we don't seek. The book of Jeremiah 29:13 says, 'You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.' But we have to seek Him in order to be in tune. Billy Graham said, 'The sweet, sweet spirit will constantly be found if we seek it.' Then we adjust. In order to adjust our spiritual antennas, we have to simply dive into the Word of God.

  • Better Together.
    Sep 21 2025

    Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. Over the years, we have had a great divide among us, not just spiritually, but also in the flesh. But we have many who have been a part of the church, worked in the church, and in this realm, we couldn't do it without you. But I also want to bring this to your mind: we are not just a Sunday family. So many of you fill in the gaps for others with phone calls and daily check-ins. I often compliment on how tight-knit Protemus is, and I say it's a family of people who love people, and just like any family, a little dysfunctional at times. But nonetheless, a family.

  • Finding Jesus.
    Sep 14 2025

    Finding Jesus
    Luke 2:41-52
    This week's events were not political. They were not fueled by motives of political propaganda. It was fueled by evil and pure demonic. We can articulate that it was because of politics, but let's be real, it wasn't. It was because the gospel was preached, and if you say it was political, you need to examine your own heart because you have missed it. I'm not big on public figures, and you all know this. But there is no doubt in my heart and in my mind that he was shot for speaking the truth of the Gospel. This isn't a gun control problem, it's not a gender nor race problem. This is the church needs to find Jesus problem.

    1. This morning, I first want to challenge the elders: Find Jesus. Find Jesus in all that you do, in each decision you make; find Jesus in it. Before you say yes or no, make sure first and foremost that Jesus is the top priority of that message.

  • Let us Go Back!
    Sep 7 2025

    We are a society of hurrying and getting things done. There as been times where maybe you’ve been getting ready to go on a trip and you’ve forgotten so many things that you have to go Back to the house and get the things you forgot. See we often find ourselves doing things that cause us to Go Back So this morning I want to say let’s go back Let’s go back to the basics let’s go back to when we knew if we could just get everything we knew we had to have. We have to go back But this morning I say let’s Go Back


    We have forgotten some things.



    Let us go back to the simplicity of the gospel that is laid out in this very simple text


    Israel is doing it wrong if you will and Gods saying Look get back on track! And repent


    Getting back takes a chance of turning around finding God in the midst of the chaos and saying ok I need to get back to wear I should be


    I



    In rev we read that Jesus says I have this somewhat against you that ye have left your first love


    Do the things you did at first.


    So doing those things require us to go back
