Kerusso Baptist Church

To make an impact for the Kingdom of God means that we must begin each day in our homes. Our children need to be "trained up." Our lives need to match our lips as they observe our conduct. Let's choose today to live for the glory of Jesus!

Our final message in this series, we take a look at the last two sayings of Jesus from the cross and the victory we find in these words!

The fifth cry of Jesus from the cross shows us his ultimate humanity. Dive deeper with us as we consider how the Living Water could say, "I Thirst"

Jesus says he will never leave or forsake us yet he was forsaken by the Father so that could become true. Join us as we look at the fourth saying of Jesus from the cross.

As Jesus hangs on the cross, he continues to speak incredible words to those around him. In this third saying from the cross, we see the compassion of Jesus for others in the midst of his own suffering. We will look at the question, how do we suffer well?

We begin our new series looking at the first two of the seven sayings of Jesus from the cross. Jesus speaks in these verses about two wonderful topics, salvation and assurance. Listen to this encouraging message of hope!

We conclude our series in the Book of Judges with a sad account of a man, a family, and a society all fulfilling the words found in the closing verse of Judges... Everyone did what was right in their own eyes.

We often miss the cultural aspect of the Scriptures by reading it through a Western lens. Understanding the laws of the day toward this woman with the issue of blood, and seeing the prophetic meaning behind touching the hem of Jesus garment, makes this beautiful story even more powerful!

Despite his continued failings, God in his mercy and grace, gives Samson a final opportunity to be the deliverer he was always called to be.

As we follow the life of Samson, we see the final consequence of his continued life of folly.

Samson continues to walk in the flesh and feed his fleshly appetites. His loose living brings terrible consequences. Rather than accountability and repentance, Samson tries to justify and blame others for his actions and the only logical conclusion he can come to is revenge.

Samson was a men that was led by his lusts. He continually lived to only please himself. Despite having all the gifts and grace of God available to himself, he allowed the world to continually cloud his judgment.

As we enter into 2026 may the Lord guide and bless our efforts to be ONE!

The Christmas season is not an easy time for many. How should a Christian handle grief? What does the Bible say about bearing up under the weight of grief?

What does it mean that this new covenant of grace is "better." Was the Old faulty? Was it bad? What was its purpose and why can we rejoice in hope over what Jesus instituted for us.

Gideon had won many victories through faith but he was not immune from the dangers of temptation and the idolatry in his own heart. May we heed the warnings and learn a lesson from the end of his life.

As we look into the life of Gideon, we find that God often has plans that are much different than our own. Sometimes our plans are good, but God's are ALWAYS best!

Special Veteran's Day Service

God's call finds Gideon in a difficult circumstance. Gideon only sees his current situation but God see what a surrendered life, empowered by God, will become. How about you?

After Ehud, Israel once again rebels against God. This time an unlikely savior arises to deliver them.

Life may throw things at us, but in Christ, we have the victory!!!

After the death of Joshua a new generation arose that did not know the Lord or his deeds. How did that happen? How is it happening today? What must we do about it?

How often do we allow other things, idols, to replace our love and devotion for the Lord. We are so prone to it may we never let our guard down.

Our first message in the Book of Judges we see how the people of Israel compromised with God's commands which led to sin, worldliness, and judgment.

What will it cost us to stand boldly for God's word? Are we willing to count the cost and pay that price if it's required?

Most hospitals have a unit known as the wound center. It's a place where serious wounds can be treated to prevent infection and promote healing. But what about a wounded heart? Shouldn't the church be a wound center for those situations?

The disciples desire to be taught how to pray speaks volumes to the impact Jesus made on them. These pious Jews, who had devoted times of prayer saw Jesus pray in ways they never had or understood. Let us learn from the Master how we ought to pray.

We probably have a conversation with ourself more than any other person. But honestly, we let our circumstances, our feelings, or other outside dictate to us a responsive dialogue. But what if we learned to speak to ourselves from the truth and promises of God's Word?

We often describe heaven with all of the things that will be there. But there are a few things that WON'T be there either and we should celebrate that as well!

The Christian life is marked by different seasons. Each unique and designed for a purpose. Some are enjoyable, some are not, but all are profitable for our growth and God's glory.

Producing fruit is a necessity for any true believer. Fruit does not produce salvation but salvation will produce fruit. The key to this is abiding in Christ. What does that look like? Find out more in this message

Cal's first Sunday morning sermon at Kerusso.

The blood of Jesus is unlike any other the world has ever known. His blood is able to do what no other blood could accomplish. There is power in the precious blood of the Lamb!

Faith without works is dead.

Jacob has had to fight his entire life. But he is about to fight the biggest battle yet. Not with man, not with himself, but with God. And in this battle he is going to be wounded but through his wound he will be changed in ways not possible through any other means.

The Parable of the Talents shows us the Lord's gracious gifting of each of us and the desire for us to be faithful stewards with what he entrusts to us.

Jacob is on the run from his brother, and honestly, from God also. But in the wilderness he will find that God had been waiting for him. At Bethel, Jacob is changed and we can be also.

The dysfunction in the family reaches a breaking point. Isaac is duped by the deception of Rebekah and Jacob. The leads Esau into bitterness, hatred, and revenge. These roots run deep. Let's make sure we don't have the same things growing in our garden.

Evangelist Joe Veal shares a powerful message with us today at Kerusso.

Esau didn't see the value of his birthright. Jacob was ready to deceive him for it. We also have a deceiver who wants us to forget who we belong to and the value of our birthright. Don't be deceived into trading your spiritual heritage for the worlds temporary pleasures.

Our first message in a new series examining the life of Jacob and applying it to our own families. In this message we take a look at Isaac and Rebekah and the circumstances leading up to the birth of their children. We also consider the dangers that come along with comparison.

Resurrection Sunday sermon. Friday Jesus hung on the cross. Sunday Jesus rose victoriously. But in-between those two monumental days was the silent sabbath. What can we learn from that day?

Jesus has need of empty vessels. Are you one?

Job faced unexplainable grief in his life, but as we come to the final chapter we find four powerful words in the text... After this, Job lived. There is life after loss.

Where was God in the concentration camps? During 9/11? In all the flood, hurricanes, and earthquakes? These questions are often hurled at believers as accusations. When God appears silent in our suffering, where is he and why?

On the night before his crucifixion, Jesus shows us that his mind and his heart was still set on loving and serving his people. Of all the things he could have clung to that evening what he reached for was a towel.

As Job suffered, without answers, without comforters, he rested on a few rock-solid, unchanging promises that we as believers can rest on as well!

When we face suffering, what a blessing it is to have someone who can weep with you, listen to you, and maybe offer words of hope and encouragement. But what happens when friends only add to your suffering? What can we learn from Job's three friends about how we should, and shouldn't, respond to those facing trials...

Our first message in a new series from the Book of Job. We look at an overview of this book and take a dive into the way we often respond to suffering versus what God is trying to show us in it.

Our final sermon from our series in Philippians we look at the wonderful peace that comes from being content in Christ.
