Sermons by Mark Adams

How many of you have seen this configuration of crosses as you traveled along our nation’s highways? Sue and I have seen dozens of these exact groupings of crosses along I-95 and I-81—not to mention the ones on the various turnpikes between here and Chicago. Well, this week I did some research and learned the […]

Jeremiah 9:23 – This is what the Lord says: “Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches. 24 – but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord, […]

34 – “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 – By this all men will know that you are My disciples.” History shows that mankind is always trying to find BETTER ways to do things. For example, in the 19th century […]

In 1970 I was a JUNIOR at Caesar Rodney High School which is located about 2 hours East of here, in Camden, Delaware. Back in 1970 one of the perks of BEING a JUNIOR was the annual Junior Class Trip—and that year our trip was to Washington, D.C. Now, as “almost D.C. residents” that may […]

This week, [at the suggestion of Al Seed—who prepared the suggested sermon outlines for the FIREPROOF campaign] I visited a website that tells you pretty much everything you want to know about PARASITES.

This week I read the tragic story of a man named Glynn Wolfe—who died alone in Los Angeles back in 1997 at the age of 88. No one came to claim his body. He only had $430 to his name—money that was applied to the cost of a pauper’s funeral. The city paid the rest. […]

When I was in college I served as the Minister of Music and Youth at Leighton Baptist Church—a small church in the northwestern corner of Alabama. The summer before I left Leighton to begin my studies at Southern Seminary in Louisville, we took our youth choir on a tour, singing in churches throughout Delaware and […]

The Great Chicago Fire raged from October 8 until October 10, 1871—eventually destroying about four square miles of that city and killing hundreds of its citizens. Most people believe the cause of this devastating fire was Mrs. O’Leary’s cow who kicked over a lantern in her barn that night. But, in 1893 Michael Ahern—the reporter […]

One thing I learned in my language studies at seminary is that, when it comes to understanding the Bible, a good translation is very important. We were RIGHTLY taught that to RIGHTLY divide the Word of Truth—we must first be able to understand exactly what it says. To do this we have to get an […]

Feeling footloose and frisky…a featherbrained freshman from Fargo named Fred forced his father to fork over the family fortune. Feeling free…Fred flew far to fancy foreign fields—finding foolish frivolities, frequent fornication, and fabulous feasting with faithless friends. Fred frittered away his father’s fortune—fleeced by his “friends” in folly. Finally, fully fatigued and facing famine, Fred […]
