Selah - God's Holy Highlighter

We live in an age of constant input—alerts, noise, scrolling, and stress. But tucked into the inspired songbook of Scripture is a tiny word that teaches a massive spiritual discipline: Selah. Selah is a holy pause—a moment where God effectively says, "Stop. Don't skim. Don't rush. Let this truth sink into your heart." Selah isn't meant to be spoken as a magical word; it's meant to be experienced as a deliberate practice of reflection and meditation. In this message, we'll study Selah in three powerful settings: Selah in Sorrow (Psalm 3) — when trouble multiplies and the enemy whispers, "There's no help for you in God." Selah teaches us to stop, face the lie, and pivot into prayer and truth. Selah in Security (Psalm 46) — when the world shakes, Selah anchors the heart in the character of God: "a refuge… a very present help." Selah helps fear shrink as God grows in our mind. Selah in Stillness (Psalm 62) — when the soul is noisy, Selah teaches us to quiet down, pour out our hearts before the Lord, and wait without panicking. If you've been overwhelmed, anxious, distracted, or spiritually scattered, this message will help you recover something sacred: the discipline of pausing long enough for truth to become faith—and faith to become steady obedience.

Why We Use the King James Version (KJV) Bible

With an explosion of English Bible versions on the market, why does Curtis Corner Baptist Church stand on the King James Bible?

Surviving The Storms Of Life

The timely sermon by Pastor Paul E Chapman centers on the necessity of building one's life on the unshakable foundation of Christ to endure life's inevitable storms, whether sudden or gradual, personal or universal. Drawing from Matthew 7:24–27, it contrasts the wise man who builds on rock—symbolizing faithful obedience to Christ—with the foolish man who builds on sand, representing a life lived apart from God's truth. The message emphasizes that while storms are unavoidable and reveal the strength of one's foundation, true survival comes not from preparation alone but from a living, obedient relationship with Christ. Through six practical spiritual necessities—shelter, light, heat, food, water, communication, and power—the sermon illustrates how God provides all that is needed for resilience and even flourishing amid trials. Ultimately, it calls listeners to examine their foundation: are they merely surviving, or thriving through Christ's sustaining grace, which enables believers not only to withstand storms but to emerge stronger, renewed, and deeply fulfilled?
