Bethel Pulpit - Primitive Baptist Sermons Michael L Gowens

Brother Gowens' sermon on 4/7/24 looks at Acts 10 and the character sketch of the Roman centurion named Cornelius. The description given of this outstanding man indicates that he was already a born again child of God, even before Peter preached the gospel to him. What a comfort to know that God has people in every nation, many of whom are yet unevangelized! May He bless us to reach them with the good news of the God that saved them.

Elder Gowens' 3/31/24 message is based on Matthew 12:38-40. The only sign, or miracle, necessary for the believer is the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Because He lives, you can face tomorrow.

This 3/24/24 sermon by Michael Gowens is an exposition of 2 Peter 1:1-11, with a primary focus on the seven virtues that should adorn the essential grace of faith in the believer’s life. Pastor Gowens makes a case for the view that the main idea in the context, and the one that ties these virtues together, is the idea of manliness, or robust discipleship.

A sermon based on Isaiah 56:7, delivered by Elder Michael Gowens on March 17, 2024.

"Preaching is not only proclamation, but it is also witness." In this message from Psalm 66:18, Pastor Gowens enlists this definition of the joy of preaching to give personal witness to the Lord's goodness to him. He does so by tracing his own story through salient Scripture passages.

Brother Gowens' 3/3/24 sermon is the third and final in a short series of messages from John 1:35-51. In this message, he considers how the Lord Jesus overcame Nathanael's skepticism.
