Pastor Frank Hampton Jr. Sermons

Accentuate The Positive

A cursory glance at our country’s condition—reflected in the news, mainstream media, religion, politics, and the general state of human well-being, reveals that negativity is deeply woven into the fabric of society.
Furthermore as Christians, it is self evident that Satan incessantly works to ensure our mental energy is fixated on negative things and blind to positive things.
“Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?”
Being a Christian doesn’t delete the reality that life is full of negativity, hardship, pain, and misfortune; however, for the Christian ALL things work together for a positive purpose, and needless to say we spend a lot more days enjoying the wonders of this exceptional Christian life than we do immersed in trial.

The Party's Over

For many, the pull of the world is so strong. The life of the party seems nigh irresistible; but what the devil does not show in his picture for their life is that every party comes to an end, and for many, it is already over! The end of the party, in some instances, is not death, but is when all the enjoyment of sin is gone. And what many do not realize is that it is not as easy as just staying in sin till the party ends and then coming to God. This is not at all the case because, even when or if you try to come to God, you must still reckon with everything that you did in sin, and many are just not willing to do so sufficiently. 
For some, the party does end with along with their lives, and the realization they receive that the party is over is a realization that is almost more than the human mind can stand. Lord, help us all to realize that the party in sin ended a long time ago! There is nothing out there but a miserable life, and at the bitter end, eternal death. May we all take heed to this word sent from heaven.

Ex-Saints

There is no human experience equal to that of a ex-saint (former saint).
Any Christian, after having tasted the good word of God and experiencing so great a salvation - only to turn to and crucify their Saviour afresh, by returning to the vomit of sin is an atrocity beyond comprehension.
The process of becoming an ex saint is a vicious one; requiring intense effort, force, and resoluteness of mind.
May God grant us all a personal divulgence of this truth and may we cling to Christ with trembling and trust.

Determining Our Destinies

Every day we are determining our destiny! Every word, imagination, and action direct our course. Listener, the final destination of your life and ultimately your soul is left in your hands and to your discretion. And although we are charting our course each moment, some moments forever define our destiny. This is why we must, without intermission, acknowledge God in all our ways that He may direct our path. If we do this indeed, our destiny will be according to His perfect plan! Solemnly listen to and consider this word from God, and let this message forever change you.

Missing The Basics

No utility is found in developing sophisticated prowess without first mastering the fundamentals. Before attempting algebra, one must have a firm grasp of addition and subtraction, lest your lack of comprehension of these rudimentary concepts expose you as incompetent and juvenile. This evergreen truth holds cosmic relevance in the realm of God, yet it is being utterly abandoned—and in some cases vilified—by a majority of the nominal Christian community. Listen carefully, reflect soberly, and be sure you stand secure on the Solid Rock.

God's Divine Purpose For Us

God did not create us for us to live however we want to live; He has a divine purpose for every one of us. If you choose and settle it to follow God's purpose for you no matter what, then God Himself will see to it that you do! God will provide every provision that you possibly need, and the devil himself is powerless to stop you! However, if you choose to disregard God's purpose for you, then He will use you still to fulfill a divine purpose, but it ultimately ends in your destruction. Listener, we must therefore, for our soul's sake, see to it that we allow God to purge out everything that may cause us in any way to stray from His divine purpose for our lives!

An Horrible Pit

We all have first hand experience, in times past, operating within the destructive course of the world, as slaves to our senses and whims, and were by nature predisposed to evil.
A challenge human nature presents and Satan latches onto, is to after having tasted the heavenly gift of salvation, for our grasp of the unmitigated corruption, debasement, and perversion of our former life to dampen.
May we with hearts erupting with gratitude, roll back the curtain of memory, remind ourselves of the gravity of our iniquitous past, and consider where we would be today, had it not been for the Lord on our side.

Boldness In The Judgment

The day of the final judgment will be a day when all earthly status and position will mean nothing, and all will be equal. None will be favored; all will be judged according to God's Word and they way they lived their life.  An account for every word, deed, thought, and intention will be given on that day to Christ, who is now our Advocate, but will then be our impartial Judge. Dear listener, honestly examine your life today: is there anything in your life that causes your heart to condemn you? Can you honestly say that you can present your life God with boldness in your current condition? If there is anything that would cause you to question, now, at this very moment, is the time to get it clear with God, while you have the ability to do so. But on that day, there will be no changes.

For The Elect's Sake

God loves all his human children, but he favors few; his elect. In the course of nature good things flow naturally to us all, but there is a select group who have unreservedly relinquished themselves to God that has earned them a place of exclusive privilege.
Almighty God himself, functions with the best interest of this particular group in all His undertakings.
The advantages of being apart of God's elect are unfathomable in their fulness; however there is a great price to paid, much pressure to carry, and intense effort required to attain and retain your place as apart of God's elect. 
Time preached: Early 2000's

There Is A God Way Out

The common belief in the religious world today is that there are some circumstances in which the children of God will inevitably fall, but the Word of God clearly dispels this false theology! God makes such provisions for us to go through every circumstance of life with perfect victory that it is an affront to God to say that we cannot do so. Before God sends anything our way, He first tests it to see if we can handle it, and if He allows it, He sends an abundance of grace with it. God is faithful to do His part, but the reason many fall is because they are not faithful in doing their part. May each hearer receive both the challenge and the inspiration of this message from heaven!
