I Peter 4:11 Preached March 30, 2009, morning service, Immanuel Southern Baptist Church, Wagoner, OK. Pastor Rick Boyne.

Do you know what your purpose in life is? The Bible says we are created to glorify God. We need to remember two very important things in life: 1) no matter our circumstances, it isn't about us, 2) no matter our circumstances, it is all about God.

Daniel 6:1-28 Preached March 1, 2009, morning service, Immanuel Southern Baptist Church, Wagoner, OK. Pastor Rick Boyne.

Daniel's refusal to compromise cost him a night in the lion's den. Daniel loved God more than he loved his own life. Do we dare to be like Daniel?

Daniel 5:1-31 Preached February 22, 2009, morning service, Immanuel Southern Baptist Church, Wagoner, OK. Pastor Rick Boyne.

We must realize that we will be weighed on God's scales, not the scales of man. God will measure our holiness, righteousness and purity. When we compare ourselves to others, we often look pretty good. But God will compare us to Jesus; we will fall way short.

We love to give excuses for our sin. "I had no choice", "the devil made me do it", etc. God's word shows that we really have no excuses for sin.

Daniel 3: 13-31 Preached February 15, 2009, morning service, Immanuel Southern Baptist Church, Wagoner, OK. Pastor Rick Boyne.

Hannaniah, Mishael, and Azariah (better known as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego are faced with making a decision between obeying God or compromising His command to "have no other gods before" Him. They knew that obedience was the way to go and they refused to bow before the idol.

How do we compromise our obedience and faithfulness to God in our everyday lives?

Sometimes, we will find ourselves in situations where it would be easy to compromise what we believe. If we don't compromise, we my face the consequences. If we do compromise, we will have to face God. Who are you trying to please?

Romans 8:31-39 Preached February 8, 2009, evening service, Immanuel Southern Baptist Church, Wagoner, OK. Pastor Rick Boyne.

Scripture can comfort the believer. Everything that can effect the happiness of man is stacked in favor of the Christian. God gave up His Son for us and pronounces us "justified". Jesus died and was raised and now sits at God's right hand interceding on our behalf. And there is NOTHING that can separate us from God's love!

Exodus 20:18-21 Preached February 1, 2009, morning service, Immanuel Southern Baptist Church, Wagoner, OK. Pastor Rick Boyne.

Are you distant from God? Not in space, but in your relationship. So many people are so desperately distant from God that they don't know what to do. Some are afraid. Some do not want to give up sinning. God calls to you to fix your relationship with Him. He loves you and wants to spend eternity with you.

God allows us to go through different things to mold us. We may not understand WHILE it is going on, but we can rest assured in one truth: God is FOR US! If God is in control (and He is) we can trust Him to do what is best for us.

John 14:1-6 Preached January 25, 2009, Morning service, Immanuel Southern Baptist Church, Wagoner, OK. Pastor Rick Boyne.

Jesus said He was going to prepare a place for us. Is He preparing a place for YOU in Heaven? There is only one way to know and that is to have your name written in the Book of Life? Is your name written in the Book of Life? The only way to have it written there is to have Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Won't you invite Him into your heart today and be saved?

Water into Wine: 1st Sign

(13 downloads)

Download this episode (21 min)   
John 2:1-11 Preached January 25, 2009, evening service at Immanuel Southern Baptist Church, Wagoner, OK. Pastor Rick Boyne.

The first "sign" that Jesus performed was turning water into wine. Jesus said that it is an "adulterous and evil generation that seeks a sign". He said that no sign would be given but that at the time of Jonah. As Jonah spent 3 days in the belly of the whale, so would the Son of Man spend 3 days in the belly of the earth.

Are you looking for a sign? Jesus has already given it! He resurrected from the dead! That is His sign!

Acts 4:8-12 Preached January 18,2009, morning service, Immanuel Southern Baptist Church, Wagoner, OK. Pastor Rick Boyne.

The government has been trying to bail the country out of an economic crisis. There is a crisis much greater; it is our spiritual crisis. God's bailout plan for us is much more certain than the government's plan. God sent Jesus to die on the cross for us, IN OUR PLACE. Jesus Christ is the ULTIMATE bail-out plan!

How long will you hesitate between two opinions? If the Lord is God, then follow Him. If not, then find something else. God proved that He is indeed God and is worthy of our worship and devotion. Quit straddling the fence and commit yourself to God!

John 13:15-17 Preached January 4, 2009, morning service, Immanuel Southern Baptist Church, Wagoner, OK. Pastor Rick Boyne.

Jesus said that if we know and do certain things, we can be happy and blessed. What are some of those things? We must be servants. We must let our light shine as a testimony to others for God at work in us. We must believe in His promises and power. We must be aware of the deception of men and the devil. And we must give ourselves fully to Christ!

Romans 6:1-7 Preached December 28, 2008, morning service, Immanuel Southern Baptist Church, Wagoner, OK. Pastor Rick Boyne.

As a married person wears a wedding band to show their commitment to their spouse, a believer submits to baptism by immersion to demonstrate their commitment to following Jesus and to bear testimony of what has ALREADY taken place in the heart of the believer.

There is no magic or mystical action taking place. Baptism has no salvific qualities. It takes place AFTER conversion. It is an act of obedience in the life of the believer.
