CSHC Sermons

Born To Serve the Lord

This week we want to share “Born to Serve the Lord” from our Campmeeting in 2003.  Brother Mitch Merritt uses multiple passages of scripture about the human body to show that this intelligent design was not created for sin and concludes with inspiring remarks about the freedom that life in the Spirit brings.  If you haven't heard this recently, please take this opportunity to hear this anointed message!

CSHC Clip of the Week – “Living the Sanctified Life” – Bro. Gary Collier, 2006

Reading, in part, from 1 Thessalonians 4:1-4, "Living the Sanctified Life" was preached on Sunday morning of the Camp Meeting in 2006.  The work of sanctification makes it possible to live a sanctified life.  Bro. Gary speaks about the mechanics of sanctification and then the practical application of growing in grace from that day forward.

Bro. Thomas Mustin in Camp Meeting 1993

In Camp Meeting 1993 Bro. Thomas Mustin declares himself a product of Sis. Fannie Rodgers preaching, potentially from the back of a wagon, in 1914 in Montgomery, Alabama.  About 35 years after this young lady’s preaching, Bro. Thomas’ father was sanctified, and then about 20 years later, Bro. Thomas made his consecration.  He uses Hebrews 11 to highlight God’s plan to redeem mankind. Referencing Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Moses, the Passover, deliverance from Egypt, Caleb and Joshua, the walls of Jericho, Rahab, Daniel and finally the birth of Jesus, he makes the case that God can deliver from sin in every circumstance of life.

“We need the Spirit”– Bro. D.K. Collins in Camp Meeting 1998

Bro. D.K. Collins in Camp Meeting 1998 preached “We need the Spirit of God”.  In a humble celebration of having the Spirit of God in our hearts, he rejoices in having the Comforter and the mystery of the mind of Christ that delivers from sin.  The whole meeting is great with Bro. Gene Vintson also preaching along with many precious testimonies as the Spirit led.

A Spirit of Intercession" – Sis. Jessie Sullivan in Camp Meeting 1970

Sis. Jessie Sullivan in Camp Meeting 1970 preached “A Spirit of Intercession” just 2 months after her husband, Bro. Elliott Sullivan passed away.  She exhorts that the Lord is moved by the prayers of the faithful as she reads from Genesis 18:17-19.  Sis. Jessie was born in 1892 and was blessed to live another 24 years after this sermon to reach the age of 102.

Bro. Jeff Price in Atlanta in 2006 - "I like your Christ"

Bro. Jeff in the 2006 Atlanta feast meeting evaluates the popular quote "I like your Christ; I do not like your Christians".  Perhaps this bumper sticker slogan has more merit than we like to admit as Jesus' teaching is so contrary to the natural man.  Jesus' mission was to glorify His Father and He taught faithfully regardless to whether the audience was a one-on-one with the woman at the well or the crowds that followed Him into the wilderness.    Are we rich toward God or are we laying up treasures for ourselves?  "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?  it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men."  - Matt 5:13

'The Hidden Wisdom' - Bro. Paul Merritt Sr. in Camp Meeting 1975

Tuesday night of Camp meeting 1975 Bro. Paul Merritt Sr. explains the Spirit would have to do the preaching.   The Word of God is quick and powerful enough to separate the soul and spirit even if a dictionary can't explain the difference.  We're all physical beings, but it takes the Spirit to make us spiritual beings.  From the 2nd chapter of 1st Corinthians he explains the demonstration of the Spirit and of power to deliver freedom from the law of sin and death.  The revelation of the mystery of the Spirit of Christ in you is the hope of glory.  Sharing his love of church on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, while drawing on 71 years of experience, he explains that anything that causes us to leave the Lord out of our life for any period of time is harm.  Nobody has ever pleased God with a sacrifice unless it was dear to them.  Bro. Paul shares one of the many songs he wrote, and enjoys Sis. Joy Melton’s help leading another song:  "There is a River".
