Pastor Frank Hampton Jr. Sermons

The Elimination of The Altar

Human nature is anti-sacrifice. 
The essence of a true Christian's existence is sacrifice. 
The level of one's spirituality is defined by the state of their personal altar. 

How Much Are You Giving

When it comes time for you to reckon with God, He will not judge you by what you did, but by what you could have done. Pastor Hampton challenged the heart of the saints, presenting to them a heavy question: have you done what you could? The position of our souls before God is dependent on us reaching our full potential for God, for we must give an account for anything that went lacking because of our lack. This word from the Lord is solemn and heavy, but, thank God, sufficient inspiration to execute is always sent along with a challenge from God!

Prepare For The Evil Day

It is an impossibility to prepare for the evil day when it’s already knocking at your door.
Every human life will face a season of intense difficulty, pressure, and hostile spiritual warfare.
As Christians we survive and thrive amid this time by allowing God to shape, train, and teach us in prior times of peace.
Preached on October 6, 1982.

The Blameless Church

After the first apostasy, it took the church many hundreds of years to recapture the blamelessness and glory with which she began. But so soon after she regained it, she became spotted again. It is in this condition the church now stands, and it is up to us, those of whom the church consists, to rid ourselves of every individual and collective spot, that Christ's bride may be blameless upon His imminent return. It is not just up to a few individuals to make the bride ready; everyone who makes up the body must take the up the burden of the church personally. However, there will not be a blameless church without a blameless ministry who will keep the Word pure. It is the pure Word alone that can wash the bride of her spots and make her presentable to Christ.

He That Searcheth The Heart

God operates with a different criteria of measurement than we humans do. 
His eyes are on the spirit (internal) and we default to the flesh (external).
The posture of one’s heart is the surest determinant of one’s spiritual success not any external measure (even if it relates to the spiritual realm).
Furthermore, we know sin separates from God, however God's ultimate desire is that we maintain a certain attitude towards sin (internal) and not the we simply avoid sinful manifestations (external).

Can God Trust You?

God has entrusted every person with a responsibility. We are stewards of the task that God has committed to our trust, and are expected to be faithful in carrying it out. The completion of this mission is not optional: our eternal destination is predicated on whether or not we fulfill God's plan. Can God trust you in carrying out this task? To apprehend that for which you were apprehended?
In the church today, we often wonder why there aren't more gifts; greater manifestations of God's power. The reason is this: there are so few that God can trust with this level of power. This trust comes with faithfulness. Not just faithfulness pertaining to living above sin, but faithfulness in a certain pursuit and consecration that will put you in position to be entrusted with a greater power from God. May God help us to imbibe both a life and a lifestyle that renders us trustworthy to God! And the results will follow.

From Glory To Glory

Christ and his army conquered then and is conquering still now, victorious through the annuls of time.  
The caliber experience God expects of his church is that of unbroken glory. 
The flame of His glory ignites upon a definite work of salvation in the soul and must grow in heat and luminance as you progress, walking on the path of just, which is as a shining light that grows brighter and brighter unto the perfect day.
Preached on February 14, 1982.

Dealing with the Aftermath

Every action has an immediate reaction, but also lasting aftermath. Often people act swiftly, only seeing as far as the immediate result, and not considering that they also must deal with the aftermath of their actions. How the aftermath is handled is usually just as consequential as the action itself, and a failure to handle it right might mean one's eternal downfall. So we would do well to make it fully certain that we allow this message to have its full and immediate effect in our lives! Pastor Hampton clearly speaks from experience in this message, having seen many things in salvation up to that point, and was burdened about being right himself and that the saints also be right.

Prepare To Meet Thy God

Sentencing against an evil work is always God’s last resort.
God’s mercy endures, going to extreme measures to give all of his human children every opportunity to correct their errors and wholly follow the Lord.
However, humans have the ability to waste God’s aggressive goodness and merciful power to such a point to where there is no return; therefore an eternal divine ruling to damnation is reasonable.
As gruesome and fierce as some of Gods judgments may appear, everything God does is redemptive.
 

Evil Men and Seducers Shall Wax Worse and Worse

The spiritual condition of this world is only growing colder. The religious world is also following the same trajectory. If then the world is getting colder, in order for the people of God to remain hot, we must continually increase the fire in our souls. There is no way we can stay the same and not be affected by this atmosphere. Everyone that falls spiritually only adds to the cold, and we who are determined to stand must work more abundantly to pick up their slack. So examine yourself: are you daily drawing closer to God? Daily increasing your heat? Take heed that you align your life with this message; only those who do will survive!
