South Haven Baptist Church

This sermon from 1 Corinthians 8 teaches believers how to navigate questionable issues—like meat offered to idols—by balancing knowledge with charity and consideration for weaker Christians. Paul urges the church to use their liberty responsibly so they do not become a stumbling block to others.

This sermon from Psalm 1 challenges believers to guard their hearts from the strife, conflict, and contention that ruin both our Thanksgiving holiday and our spirit of daily gratitude. By contrasting the path of the ungodly with the rooted, fruitful life of the righteous, the message reminds us that peace grows from a life grounded in God's Word. Christians are called to pursue humility, guard their words, and choose the way of peace so they can enjoy the blessings God has given them without allowing unnecessary conflict to rob their thanksgiving.

This message challenges believers not to let quitting become an option, reminding us of God's unchanging faithfulness in the past, His present help, and His future promises. Using Elijah's journey in 1 Kings 19, the sermon encourages Christians to keep pressing on, stay close to God, and refuse to give in to weariness, fear, or isolation.

This message from 1 Corinthians 7 explores Paul's Spirit-led counsel on marriage and singleness, reminding believers that neither state is the ultimate answer—Christ is. Pastor Wagner explains how every major life decision should be made with wisdom, not emotion, and that both married and single believers can honor God when they follow His will with clarity, discernment, and devotion.

This message from Ephesians 1 and Romans 8 explains the true meaning of predestination, God's foreknowledge in salvation, and the vital role of prayer in every believer's life.

Every believer is uniquely called by God to serve right where they are. True faithfulness isn't found in comparison—but in obedience to His calling.

In this powerful message from Numbers 11, Pastor Wagner preaches on "How to Ruin Your Thanksgiving" — showing how complaining can rob believers of gratitude, joy, and fellowship with God. Using Israel's example in the wilderness, he exposes how discontentment about supplies, support, and service still ruins thanksgiving today. This sermon challenges every Christian to trade complaints for contentment and to give thanks in everything, not just when life feels easy. A convicting yet encouraging reminder that if all we have is Jesus, we still have everything we need

In this message from Matthew 22, the preacher exposes the popular but unbiblical idea that people become angels when they die. Using Scripture and context, he explains Jesus' response to the Sadducees and clarifies that believers will not turn into angels but will live eternally with Christ in glorified bodies. The sermon traces the origins of this false belief through culture, art, and media, showing how emotional comfort and entertainment have distorted biblical truth. Ultimately, the message calls believers to stand on God's Word with confidence, exercise discernment, and find true comfort in the promise of salvation — not in sentiment, but in Scripture

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 7, the preacher opens "Paul's Press Conference" — where the Apostle answers real, hard questions from the church at Corinth about purity, marriage, and commitment. With honesty, humor, and conviction, the message calls Christians to live by biblical boundaries in a culture that blurs them. From "keep your hands to yourself" to "thank God for your spouse," the sermon unpacks God's design for intimacy, the sanctity of marriage, and the peace that comes when believers honor God's plan instead of following the world's confusion. Whether single or married, this message challenges you to seek holiness, handle relationships God's way, and let your testimony shine even in tough situations.

Ever feel like your little bit couldn't possibly make a difference in God's work? In this powerful message from 2 Corinthians 8, we're reminded that faith promise giving isn't about the size of your wallet...it's about the size of your faith. The Macedonian believers gave in deep poverty, not out of abundance, but out of obedience. Their giving wasn't just generosity...it was proof of their love, concern, conviction, and trust in God's will. This sermon challenges us to ask: Do we love God enough to give by faith, not by comfort? What we give may leave our hand, but it never leaves our account in Heaven. Listen in and rediscover the joy, the power, and the eternal impact of giving by faith!

Though all things may be lawful for a Christian, not all things are beneficial. Every Christian should consider this, as they no longer belong to themselves but to God.

What if the one sin you thought God could never forgive… wasn't the one at all? In this powerful message from Matthew 12, we uncover what the unpardonable sin really is and what it's not. This sermon clears up confusion, confronts false beliefs, and reminds us that Christ's mercy reaches farther than we imagine. Don't scroll past this truth, listen now and find out what Jesus actually meant when He spoke of the sin that 'shall not be forgiven.

Bro. Tim Parrish preached a powerful reminder that faithfulness still matters, in our walk, our witness, and our worship. From the mission fields of Thailand to the small towns of Georgia, his message was clear: stay faithful to God's call, no matter where He leads. He challenged us to remember there's still a hell to shun, a heaven to gain, and a world that needs Jesus...and the time to make a difference is now. If you've ever wondered how to keep your fire for God burning in a changing world, this message will stir your heart.

It's a question we've all wrestled with, but this message digs deep into God's Word to uncover the real answer. Pastor Tate reminds us that there's none truly good but God, that every "bad thing" traces back to sin's curse, and that even when life feels unfair, grace still shines through. But the sermon doesn't stop there, it points us to the greatest truth of all: the worst happened to the best so that sinners like us could be forgiven. This message will shake up your perspective on pain, purpose, and the goodness of God. Don't skip this one, you need to hear it.

You don't have to be remarkable for God to do something remarkable with you. In Luke 5, Peter's boat, his nets, and his life were all ordinary...until Jesus stepped in. The same Savior who filled empty nets can fill an empty heart, home, or ministry when we simply obey His Word. Don't imitate others or criticize what God's doing, just say "Nevertheless, at Thy Word" and watch Him do the extraordinary through the ordinary.

🌍 Missions Month Highlight 🌍 Last night we heard a powerful message from Luke Ryan, missionary to Spain, reminding us that the Gospel is worth sharing...no matter the cost, the place, or the comfort zone. Philip left a revival in Samaria to reach one searching soul in the desert, and that's the heartbeat of missions: leaving where we are to reach who God has prepared.

He saw. He was moved. He sent. It's time for us to see what Jesus saw and do what He commanded.

New Phase of "The Proven Experiment" Begins! We've learned how to rightly divide the Word of Truth, now it's time to put that knowledge into action. This next phase takes on some of the toughest questions raised by those the Bible calls "gainsayers." Our first question: Should a Christian be for the death penalty? When we study the Bible correctly, we don't have to guess, we can give confident, Scripture-grounded answers.

This sermon exposes how the church at Corinth lost its focus on the gospel by dragging one another into court over petty disputes instead of resolving them in love. With passion and clarity, it challenges us to stop living self-centered lives, to remember we've been washed, sanctified, and justified by Christ, and to treat fellow believers like family, not enemies. If we acted like true Christians, no courtroom could ever do better than the cross.

This sermon powerfully unpacks the truth that Jesus not only walks into our lives, but He also walks out! Out of temptation, out of trouble, and out of the tomb, so that we can walk out with Him in victory. If He overcame Satan's snares, silenced the crowds, and stepped out of the grave, then He can lead us out of whatever holds us back today.
