In short, Memorial is a Gospel-Centered Church that believes Jesus is everything and through faith/belief/trust in Jesus we pursue following Him together as one family. We believe that God places His people together in the context of a local body of believers (His church), not by accident, but for the Spirit-empowered purpose of glorifying Him through repenting and believing the Gospel of His son, Jesus Christ. Through His church we see His kingdom come and His will being done as He makes all creation right and new. In all we do we seek to worship the Lord passionately, connect with each other authentically, grow to know the Lord deeply, and go and share the gospel boldly as One Body in Christ.

    Lost, Believe, Obey, Redeemed: Ruth and the Kinsman Who Saves | Ruth 1–4 | Pastor Jimmy

    Ruth is one of the shortest books in the Bible. It’s also one of the most powerful — and it’s told without a single miracle, prophecy, or “thus says the Lord.” Just lost people. A choice to believe. A life of obedience. And a redeemer who pays the price. Pastor Jimmy walks through the entire book of Ruth in four movements — and shows how Ruth’s story points straight to Jesus, our true Kinsman Redeemer. In this message: Why the story starts in the mess of Judges Orpah vs. Ruth — the choice that changes everything What it means to be grafted into God’s family Why faith isn’t a feeling — and why that’s actually good news How Boaz points to Jesus, and what Jesus did that Boaz couldn’t 📖 Scripture: Ruth 1–4 | Romans 8:26–28 | Romans 10:8–13 Listen on the go: 🎙️ Podcast: https://memorialchurchjc.podbean.com/ ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@memorialbaptist9681 🌐 Website: https://www.memorialchurch.net

    Choose Life: The Choice Moses Preached and Jesus Finished | Deuteronomy 30 | Pastor David Newton

    “I did it my way.” It’s one of the most-requested funeral songs. But is that actually the life we want? In this message, Pastor David opens Moses’ final sermon in Deuteronomy 30 — a love letter, a warning, and a choice. Eleven days from the promised land took forty years because of what was in their hearts. Now a new generation stands at the edge again. What will they choose? Moses says: Choose life. Jesus says: I am the life. In this message: Why 11 days became 40 years — and what that has to do with our hearts How God restores after failure — and what He does to our hearts when we turn back The choice: life and good, or death and evil What “hold fast” means, from Genesis to John 15 How everything Moses promised is fulfilled in Christ 📖 Scripture: Deuteronomy 30 | Joshua 24 | John 14:6 | Romans 10:9 | Colossians 2–3 Listen on the go: 🎙️ Podcast: https://memorialchurchjc.podbean.com/ ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@memorialbaptist9681 🌐 Website: https://www.memorialchurch.net

    Go With Us: Presence, Pardon, and Possession in Exodus 33–34

    What comes into your mind when you think about God? It’s the most important thing about you. In this final message of our series, Pastor David opens Exodus 33-34 - where Moses makes three extraordinary requests after Israel’s great failure: Go with us. Pardon us. Take us as Your own. And in Jesus, God says yes to all three. His goodness and steadfast love are pursuing you. He doesn’t clear the guilty - He bore it Himself. In this message: The Name God revealed: merciful, gracious, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love Why Moses wanted to see God’s glory - and what God showed him instead Three prayers Moses prayed, and how Jesus answered every one What it means to be sealed, adopted, and kept as God’s inheritance What to do when you fail: don’t run - look to Jesus 📖 Scripture: Exodus 33–34 | John 1:14–18 | Ephesians 1:13–14 | Psalm 23:6 Listen on the go: 🎙️ Podcast: https://memorialchurchjc.podbean.com/ ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@memorialbaptist9681 🌐 Website: https://www.memorialchurch.net

    Stiff-Necked: The Golden Calf and the God Who Stays | Exodus 32 | Pastor David Newton

    They made vows. Then, forty days later, they built a golden calf. Pastor David opens Exodus 32- the story of Israel's great betrayal - and traces it from the wedding at Sinai to the stiff-necked people dancing before an idol they made with their own gold. It's a story about attention, idolatry, and the God who takes sin seriously enough to judge it and stays involved enough to bear it Himself. What we look to shapes where we go. Where are your eyes? In this message: The wedding God planned - and the betrayal that came next Why we reshape God into something we can manage How idols start small and never stay that way What Moses' intercession points to - and why only Jesus could finish it How to look up: Repent. Believe. Live. 📖 Scripture: Exodus 32 | Psalm 119:37 | Romans 3:25 | John 6:40 Listen on the go: 🎙️ Podcast: https://memorialchurchjc.podbean.com/ ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@memorialbaptist9681 🌐 Website: https://www.memorialchurch.net

    Covet: The Desire That Eats Itself | Exodus 20:17 | Pastor David Newton

    You're surrounded by desire generators — feeds, ads, algorithms, comparison. But coveting isn't just a problem with wanting too much. It's a worship problem. In this final message of our Ten Commandments series, Pastor David opens Exodus 20:17 to show that desire itself is a gift from God - but unchecked, it rewrites history, undermines relationships, and leads us straight back to the garden where everything went wrong. What we keep trying to take, God has already given us in Christ. In this message: Why desire isn't the problem - how it's ordered is The pattern from Eden to Achan: See → Desire → Take How Jesus reorders what we want The Magnet, Compass, Map, and Guide - a framework for ordering desire Why the Lord's Table is the answer to covetousness 📖 Scripture: Exodus 20:17 | Genesis 1–3 | Philippians 2:6–8 | Romans 8:32 Listen on the go: 🎙️ Podcast: https://memorialchurchjc.podbean.com/ ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@memorialbaptist9681 🌐 Website: https://www.memorialchurch.net

    The Weight of a Word: Truth, Justice, and the Ninth Commandment | Exodus 20:16

    Don't lie. That's how we've summarized it. But that weakens the depth of it. The ninth commandment wasn't written for polite conversation. It was written for the city gate - the ancient courtroom where elders weighed witnesses, established truth, and handed down verdicts. And bearing false witness in that context wasn't just dishonesty. It was violence. Proverbs 25:18 says it plainly: a false witness is like a war club, a sword, or a sharp arrow. In this message, Pastor Jimmy walks through what bearing false witness actually means - legal testimony, what we say about others, what we say about ourselves, rumors, gossip - and what it does to image bearers of God. He lands on the most haunting inversion in the Gospels: when Jesus stood at His own city gate, it was a Roman pagan who sought the truth while the religious leaders manipulated the witnesses. In this message: Why the ninth commandment is about justice, not just honesty How false witness damages image bearers - reputations, relationships, and bodies The COVID study that revealed how gossip and rumors are a form of violence The difference between brutal honesty and speaking truth in love How Jesus responded to false accusations - and what He did with ours Key Scriptures: Exodus 20:16; 23:1–8 • Deuteronomy 19:15–21 • Proverbs 25:18 • Mark 14:55–15:15 • Ephesians 4:15 🙌 Join us Sundays @ 9:15 AM 1120 Madison St., Jefferson City, MO 🌐 https://memorialchurch.net 📩 getconnected@memorialchurch.net 💬 https://www.facebook.com/memorialchurchjc 🎧 Listen on the go: Podbean: https://memorialchurchjc.podbean.com/ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/memorial-baptist-church-jefferson-city/id1478157245 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5CuIDzWry5Y2oz8TBHOKoH YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@memorialbaptist9681

    Open Hands: Scarcity, Stealing, and the Generous God | Exodus 20:15

    Do not steal. Simple enough, right? But the biblical definition of stealing goes further than most of us want to admit — taking without consent, yes, but also defrauding, deceiving, and withholding what is rightfully owed. And underneath all of it is the same mentality: there isn't enough, so I better take what I can get. In this message, Eric walks through the eighth commandment and makes the case that this is really a generosity sermon. He traces the scarcity mentality from COVID toilet paper shelves to the Malachi storehouse, from the farmer's market scale to Abraham on the mountain — and lands on the only thing that actually transforms takers into givers: the gospel. In this message: What stealing actually means — legally and biblically How taking from your neighbor diminishes them — and connects to contempt The scarcity mentality vs. our generous God who has cattle on a thousand hills Why God asked for tithes — and what Nehemiah 12 says about where it actually went The rich young man and the open hands Jesus asks for Key Scriptures: Exodus 20:15 • Leviticus 19 • Malachi 3:6–12 • Genesis 22 • 2 Corinthians 8:9 • Matthew 19:16–22 • Philippians 2 • Proverbs 11:1 🙌 Join us Sundays @ 9:15 AM 1120 Madison St., Jefferson City, MO 🌐 https://memorialchurch.net 📩 getconnected@memorialchurch.net 💬 https://www.facebook.com/memorialchurchjc 🎧 Listen on the go: Podbean: https://memorialchurchjc.podbean.com/ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/memorial-baptist-church-jefferson-city/id1478157245 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5CuIDzWry5Y2oz8TBHOKoH YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@memorialbaptist9681

    Steadfast Love: What the Seventh Commandment Is Really Protecting | Exodus 20:14

    Two Hebrew words. "You shall not commit adultery." But God isn't merely guarding sexual behavior. He is guarding a covenant union He designed to tell the truth about Himself. In this message, Pastor David traces four movements through the seventh commandment — the boundary God protects, the blessing He reveals, the covenant He keeps, and the love He sends. From Genesis 1's picture of one-and-many, to ezer kenegdo (the woman as strong ally, not assistant), to Hosea and Gomer, to Jesus on the Sermon on the Mount exposing the lust that takes without asking — and finally to the cross, where the faithful God kept covenant with unfaithful people. This is not just a sermon for married people. It is a call for everyone to be covenant-guarding people. In this message: Why God guards this boundary so fiercely — it's His self-portrait Ezer kenegdo — what the woman's role in Genesis 2 actually means The Hosea/Gomer thread and why Scripture uses adultery language for Israel's unfaithfulness Jesus on lust: not a glance, but a sustained stare with intent — the same pattern as Eden How Christ's blood establishes the new covenant for covenant-breakers Key Scriptures: Exodus 20:14 • Genesis 1:26–28; 2:18, 23–24 • Deuteronomy 7:7–9 • Hosea 1–3 • Matthew 5:27–28; 26:28 • Romans 5:8 • Ephesians 1; 5:25, 31–32 • 1 John 4:19 🙌 Join us Sundays @ 9:15 AM 1120 Madison St., Jefferson City, MO 🌐 https://memorialchurch.net 📩 getconnected@memorialchurch.net 💬 https://www.facebook.com/memorialchurchjc 🎧 Listen on the go: Podbean: https://memorialchurchjc.podbean.com/ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/memorial-baptist-church-jefferson-city/id1478157245 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5CuIDzWry5Y2oz8TBHOKoH YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@memorialbaptist9681
