This podcast hosts the sermons delivered every Lord's day morning, and evening, at Quidnessett Baptist Church in North Kingstown, Rhode Island.
Quidnessett Baptist Church is a church with a rich past, vibrant present, and visionary future. Celebrating over 180 years of the Lord’s blessings, QBC unashamedly proclaims herself as a local assembly adhering to sound Biblical principles and clear scripturally derived doctrinal positions. We are an independent Baptist church affiliated with no organization or denomination apart from historic Baptist roots. As a congregation we affirm and subscribe to the Second London Baptist Confession of 1689. We are an autonomous church operating under the government of Elders and Deacons.
The Apostle Paul wrote in his first epistle to a young pastor named Timothy an important and vital statement concerning the church. In 1 Timothy 3:15, the apostle declared the church of the living God is the pillar and ground of the truth. Quidnessett Baptist Church seeks to embrace and embody this truth through its worship, instruction, fellowship and evangelism. We view our existence solely to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
If you are looking for a church home, we invite you to spend time listening to these sermons, or visit our website, and get to know us a little better. In the event you may have questions, please feel free to contact us.
Our Motto
Our church motto is Pleasing God, Making Disciples of Jesus Christ. It is located above our choir loft for all to see each Lord’s Day as a scriptural reminder of our purpose as a body of believers in Jesus Christ. The motto compliments our vision and is rooted in two specific portions of the Word of God.
Thessalonians 4:1 – Paul desired for the Thessalonians to abound more and more in their Christian walk and for the purpose of PLEASING GOD. We strive to please God and to be thoroughly committed to that highest standard in all human activity.
Matthew 28:20 – Our Lord Jesus prior to His ascension commands His followers to be about the privilege and responsibility of MAKING DISCIPLES. We strive to ensure we not only present the Gospel, but to challenge unbelievers to become committed disciples of Jesus Christ following Him for a lifetime.

Beware of Pastors and Preachers
And as Jesus taught in the temple, he said, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David? 36 David himself, in the Holy Spirit, declared, “‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet.”’ 37 David himself calls him Lord. So how is he his son?” And the great throng heard him gladly. 38 And in his teaching he said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes and like greetings in the marketplaces 39 and have the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts, 40 who devour widows’ houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.” Mark 12:35-40

Living With Second Coming Mentality
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. 3 And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure. 1 John 3:1-3
A. The Reasons to Live with Second Coming Mentality
1. We are so loved by the Father: 1 John 3:1a, John 14:21,23, John 16:27
2. We are children of God far from our Father’s House: 1 John 3:1b-2, John 14:1-3, Rom. 8:22-23, Heb. 11:13-16
B. The Impact of Living with Second Coming Mentality
1. We live with anticipation of glorification: 1 John 3:2b, 1 Cor. 15:50-56, Phil. 3:20
2. We progress in the likeness of Him who is coming: 1 John 3:3, 1 Peter 1:13-19, 2 Peter 3:10-13, 2 Cor. 3:18 -
Above All, Love
And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?” 29 Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” 32 And the scribe said to him, “You are right, Teacher. You have truly said that he is one, and there is no other besides him. 33 And to love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” 34 And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And after that no one dared to ask him any more questions. Mark 12:28-34
