Picked up Joey around 6:30 p.m. on Friday night and headed back down south to Health Camp here in Waco. It’s a burger place that has been around since 1948. They have the best malts, shakes, and burgers around. It’s a legend. By the time we got there, so did everyone else. We waited in line for about 25 minutes, just to place our order. It was worth it.

My sermon at Waco Reformed Church on March 10, 2024. This morning, we are going to see that His steadfastness goes beyond the cross. He is not just seeking to save us. He is seeking to establish a Kingdom, in which those who are saved are made citizens. In establishing His Kingdom, He is also exercising judgment over all the other kingdoms of man, including Jerusalem. Whenever God brings abundant grace to His people, He also brings abundant judgment to those who reject that grace, and this is what we see in our text. It has eschatological implications, both for those who belong to Him, and th ..read more

Jesus told many of His disciples to “follow Me.” Like them, we fail to ask where it was that HE was going. He was going to the cross to die. This gives us a real hint of the calling He places upon our lives when He calls us ..read more

Enjoying the special day together… coffee in the morning, sandwiches for lunch, and Mexican food from the local hole in the wall for the dinner meal. Nothing fancy. Just the way we like it. The best of times.   All photos copyright © Timothy J. Hammons, 2024.  ..read more

Jesus steadfastly set His face toward Jerusalem. He knew He was going there to die, yet nothing deterred Him from His calling. This sermon looks at these truths and the Savior’s steadfast love for His people.       ..read more

Communion — A Meditation One of the changes that we made since establishing Waco Reformed Church was to move from unleavened bread, to leavened bread in communion. We did this partly because of the parable of the leaven found in Matthew 13:33 Another parable He spoke to them: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened.” This is a kingdom parable, showing that the kingdom will continue to grow until it is all leavened. We chose to use leavened bread because not only does communion point back to Christ’s death, and helps ..read more

We come to the last sermon from 1 Samuel 25, in which we look at the death of a fool, namely Nabal. In a sense, he dies three times in our text: drunkenness as a form of death, his heart turning to stone, in the second form, and finally death itself, for the third form. But like all fools, it’s not the last death Nabal faces. There is one more death he faces, known as the Second Death, according to the Apostle John. It is the worst death, for it never ends, never ceases, as the LORD tells us.   ..read more

Here is my second sermon on the role of women in the church. See last’s week’s sermon, Let Your Women Keep Silent. I recognize that this may not be a favorite topic of many, but what I’m preaching is what God’s word declares about the role of women in the church and the family, and subsequently, the role of men in both these spheres. This topic is most necessary. The evangelical church has given itself over to feminism, which is rooted in Satanism (see part of my sermon below). This should not surprise us since the goal of feminist is to exalt the woman over and above men, to have women serve ..read more
