Big Creek Cowboy Church Sunday January 11th 2025 11am Service

This video is a recording of the Big Creek Cowboy Church Sunday service from January 11. The service features a visiting pastor, Brother Droddy, filling in for Brother Charlie, who was officiating a funeral. Service Highlights: Announcements: The service begins with several announcements, including a potluck lunch after the service, a "Quilts for Kids" event at the end of the month, and upcoming men's and women's retreats [04:02]. The congregation also celebrates an upcoming 12th birthday for Kathy Wyman [01:26]. Sermon Introduction: Brother Drody delivers a sermon titled based on Joshua 1:1-11, focusing on the theme of "crossing Jordan." He clarifies that in his analogy, crossing the Jordan River does not represent going to heaven, but rather entering into a "victorious Christian living" [18:16]. Sermon Key Points - "Before You Cross Jordan": Brother Droddy outlines four requirements for believers before they can "cross Jordan": Sanctification [18:40]: Citing Joshua 3:5 ("Sanctify yourselves"), he explains this as being set aside for God's purpose. He discusses "initial sanctification" at salvation, "progressive sanctification" throughout life, and "ultimate sanctification" which occurs at the rapture [31:24]. Stabilization [35:58]: He emphasizes the need to be steadfast and not "wishy-washy," referencing James 1:5-8. He urges believers to be firm in their spiritual lives and not swayed by every new doctrine or preacher that comes along [39:18]. Memorialization [44:24]: Referencing Joshua 4, he speaks about setting up stones as a memorial of what God has done. He encourages the congregation to remember when they were saved and what God saved them from (often themselves) [47:33]. He parallels this with the Christian practice of communion [49:22]. Realization [51:05]: Finally, he calls for a realization that there is nothing God cannot do and no one He cannot save [51:24]. Personal Testimony: Throughout the sermon, Brother Droddy shares personal testimonies, including surviving a severe motorcycle accident in 2023 where he broke 13 ribs and his neck, and surviving three major heart attacks in 2024 [23:51]. The service concludes with a closing prayer for the congregation and the food [57:29].    • Big Creek Cowboy Church Sunday January 11t...
