The Mountaintop Gospel

Troy Westmoreland

A podcast of weekly recorded sermons from Bald Mountain Baptist Church. We are located in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, and we hope to utilize this platform to play some small role in carrying the gospel from our neck of the woods to the ears of those beyond our community and to the ends of the earth!

    Our First Love - Ephesus

    Revelation 2:1-7 Today we explored the first church Jesus spoke to in the book of Revelation, the Church of Ephesus. They were a church filled with many good works. They had rooted out evil in the church, and they had not fainted in their labors. Yet, Jesus says that He has something against them---they had left their first love. From this, we took a look at our own hearts. If this first century church, that had faced so many trials and were doing so many things, if they had lost their first love then we ought to take a look at ourselves. Pastor Troy asks the question, where has my love gone. Do I truly and sacrificially love Jesus and others like I should? What is my motivation for doing the work that I do? Pastor Troy has been in a series series on Worship for a while, but says we will be taking an extended break as the Lord sees fit during the start of this new season. For January and beyond, we will be focusing on the Vision of the church, praying that God will help us to reach the Shumont community and to grow as a church. Pastor Cory is also making his way through the book of Ephesians in his messages, but is taking a break from that as well during this season. We at Bald Mountain Baptist Church are so glad you have joined us here, and our prayer is that you are blessed by this message! The calling for every Christian is to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. Well, where does the earth begin and where does it end? For us at Bald Mountain Baptist Church, the world begins in the Shumont Community on top of a little peak in Buncombe County, NC. Our prayer is that through this platform we might do our part in reaching the ends of the earth with the gospel! Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. Isaiah 42:10-11 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Troy Westmoreland and Cory Martinez are the co-pastors of Bald Mountain Baptist Church. They alternate on a semi-regular basis, and our prayer is that their insights from the Word of God may richly bless all those who stop by our neck of the woods!

    Our Transition into Faith

    Hebrews 11:1-16 Pastor Cory delivered a powerful message this morning on faith from the book of Hebrews. You may have hear the "Hall of Faith" preached on before, but Cory brings this message right to us as the church of God. Faith is essential in the Christian walk, and it is what sets apart from an unbelieving world. The writer of Hebrews describes faith as almost something that is tangible, that we may grasp ahold of when the world is falling to pieces. As the church, our faith is not only a feeling, it is a substance that spurs us on to labor for the kingdom of God and not to give up the fight when things get tough. Pastor Troy has been in a series series on Worship for a while, but says we will be taking an extended break as the Lord sees fit during the start of this new season. For January and beyond, we will be focusing on the Vision of the church, praying that God will help us to reach the Shumont community and to grow as a church.

    The Vision of Christ to the Church

    Revelation 1:1-20 Pastor Troy is back in our series on Vision as we traverse God's calling to grow our church. He says the plan is to look at each of the seven churches in chapters 2 and 3 of the book of Revelation. However, chapter 1 serves us as the introduction to this series, giving us the picture of our Lord who has come to deliver the message to the churches. The most important thing to remember is that His message was not just to seven churches in Asia Minor 2000 years ago. Rather, the Lord has a specific message to His church in these latter days. That means our church, and yours as well! ***we apologize for the late upload and poor sound quality of this episode. We are having trouble as we try to navigate getting our sermons both on Facebook as well as continue uploading them here. Thank you for your patience!

    The Pursuit of the Church

    Colossians 3:12-17 Pastor Cory brings us this message from the book of Colossians, relating to our series on Vision. The church at Colossae was very near to Paul's heart. They had faced many attacks by false doctrines, but perhaps their biggest foe was their own flesh. Paul encourages the church to put off their old self, and to put on the new man, which is renewed in Christ. In these verses of chapter 3, Paul is effectively telling them what a healthy body of believers is supposed to pursue. The true church of Christ is to be bound by love, to be governed by the peace of God, to be led by the Word of God, and to be encouraged by the name of Jesus!

    Growth Means Change

    Ephesians 2:19-22 Pastor Troy brings us another message for our vision month. Towards the end of the message, he delivers the vision that God has given him for Bald Mountain Baptist Church, asking that we pray for God to help us grasp ahold of where He wants to take us as a church, and we ask you join us in prayer as well! To open up this message, Troy brings a powerful thought about the true essence of "growth" as a concept. Put simply, as the title states, growth means change. While the Word of Truth never changes, there are many things in our hearts and lives that must change if we desire to see growth, both personal and corporate. Pastor Troy has been in a series series on Worship for a while, but says we will be taking an extended break as the Lord sees fit during the start of this new season.

    What It Means to Walk with God

    Psalm 16:1-11 Pastor Cory delivers a message from this "golden" psalm of David in our new year vision month. After Pastor Troy preached about keeping Christ at the center of our lives, Cory finds it appropriate to tell us what it means to truly walk with God. You will hear a familiar verse in this psalm, as David remarks how the lines have fallen to him in pleasant places. Even in the midst of adversity and uncertainty, we can always rely on God's goodness and guidance as we seek to enact His will as individuals and as a church.

    Christ at the Center

    Lamentations 3:17-25; John 15:1-5; 1 Peter 2:1-6 Pastor Troy brings us into the New Year with a message regarding the vision and direction of the church. Before we are to grow numerically or physically, the we must grow individually in our relationship with Christ. For this to happen, Christ must take priority in our lives above all else. And not only priority, He must be the very wellspring and foundation of our lives. The church is made of people, and for Christ to be the cornerstone of Bald Mountain Baptist Church, He must be the cornerstone of the hearts and lives of those who make up the church!

    A Child That Makes ALL Things New

    Isaiah 9:6-7 Pastor Cory delivers a powerful message surrounding the birth of our Savior from this passage. Over 700 years before Jesus was born in the manger, God foretold of His coming through the prophet Isaiah. We see in these verses that this would not just be any ordinary king of a particular nation, He would be the everlasting King upon the throne of David. Not only that, He would be God incarnate, come to rescue His creation from sin and make all things new. This baby born 2000 years ago came for us all by the mercy and grace of God. The calling for every Christian is to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. Well, where does the earth begin and where does it end? For us at Bald Mountain Baptist Church, the world begins in the Shumont Community on top of a little peak in Buncombe County, NC. Our prayer is that through this platform we might do our part in reaching the ends of the earth with the gospel! We have finally gotten our back-content uploaded, praise the Lord! Thank you so much for bearing with us. From now on we will be uploading 1 message per week on Sundays as our schedule allows. We are currently in our series on Worship, and will be continuing in this series for the foreseeable future. Pastor Cory is also making his way through the book of Ephesians in his messages.
