Pastor Frank Hampton Jr. Sermons

Holding Ourselves in Check

In order to stay in this fight, we must have our body subdued. This is the burden that God placed on Bro. Hampton's heart to deliver that Sunday Evening in 1995, but it is still so needful. We must not only have our body in check, we must keep it in check no matter the circumstances. If you let your body have its way in one area, this looseness will most certainly spread to other areas. And once you let the flesh get out of line, it is very hard to get it back under. This not only pertains to the natural appetites, but also to the mind. The fight is in the mind first; if you do not keep your mind in check, then your actions will follow. May we all take careful inventory of ourselves after hearing this message. (Preached 4/2/1995).

Usable Material

God is a spirit and divine in His nature. The church of God came down from heaven, and is a spiritual organism. God can only build this organism with individuals with the spirit of God or divine nature, hence the inception of the church upon the receiving of the Holy Ghost in Acts 2.  If a church begins to exercise and promote people, purely out of what they can offer in terms of their natural ability and expertise, and not based upon their spiritual substance, they become an earthly organization. Anything external, such as: physical appearance, name, heritage, natural ability, socioeconomic status, relationships, etc. do not make you usable material in God's church, but rather the quality of your spiritual life.  

Zero Tolerance

Friend, when the day of judgment comes, God will judge all of mankind by one standard: His Word. Christ now acts as our attorney, and therefore shows tolerance. But listener, when that day comes, Christ will be our Judge, and all tolerance will be eternally past. As you are, so you will remain. The Lord placed this very serious burden on Pastor Hampton to deliver to the saints of God during the Vichy, Missouri Camp-Meeting in the year 2000. This message is needed now more than ever, so take careful heed. (Preached on 8/7/2000).

A Constructive Gospel

The full gospel of Jesus Christ is the only way for humanity to be constructed and formed into their rightful spiritual position in the eyes of God. False religion is totally incapable of bringing mankind to an acceptable standard with God, but rather seeks to subjugate people to something less than the entire gospel, which is always easier on the flesh. In this last dispensation of time, this spiritual war is heating up to unprecedented temperatures, and and our only means of survival is being under and taking heed to a clear, uncompromising, and pure gospel which is able to build us up. (preached at a gospel meeting). 

Fresh Oil

Listener, yesterday's glory is not sufficient for today! Just as the children of Israel had to gather fresh manna every day, the saint of God must get something fresh from God every day. God placed this burden heavily on Pastor Hampton's heart. He realized that if one does not get something fresh from God every day, they will become stagnate in their salvation. It is just as necessary for those in the pew to get fresh oil as it is for those in the pulpit. Every saint's ministry is vital, but one is of no benefit to the kingdom of God unless they have a fresh anointing.

A Solemn Warning

When an individual has come to Mount Zion they have encountered the most fearful place on earth. Once you experience the extremity of Her elevation, you must think twice before considering anything less. The church of God is not a play thing. Her paths, truths, and judgments are not to be tampered with nor taken lightly. Pastor Hampton with an unction from the Holy One stirs the saints to realize the dangerous and often times irrecoverable repercussions of walking out on God or recanting on sound principles. May the Lord enlighten us all to the reality of this message. (preached at the 1985 Springfield (OH) fellowship meeting).

Unlimited Sacrifice

The measure of your sacrifice determines the measure of God's glory in your life. Many who are lacking spiritually or otherwise are lacking because of their lack of sacrifice. Bro. Hampton delivered this burden to the congregation, showing how God does not just give out his glory at random. Those who are sacrificing the most are those in whom God manifests His power. Any time has mightily blessed you personally, it was invariably a time when you were living the most sacrificial; a time when you were exceeding the bear minimum or the norm. Unrestrained sacrifice always amounts to limitless glory! 

What To Do When You Don't Know What To Do

You can make the most accurate estimation of one's spiritual depth, when the right decision to make in a costly situation isn't totally clear cut and obvious. God will intentionally bring us all to point where we don't know what to do in order to try us and reveal the innermost contents of our heart. It is in these situations that we climb in our "tower", lock the door, refuse unnecessary human counseling, and get the mind of God. Often times the option that is easiest on the flesh is not Gods will. In the words of Pastor Hampton "you better pray and pray hard." (preached on 12/22/07 at Springfield (OH) fellowship meeting, picture taken as he was preaching).

Back to What?

If you are saved, it is because you escaped from the bondage of sin. Knowing that, consider this thought: what is there to go back to? Pastor Hampton clearly brought out that you got saved because you were tired of the life of sin; it made you sick. If you decide to go back, you will not just go back to what you were sick and tired of, but something worse! And it will be harder to get out the next time than ever before. It is better for one to have never gotten saved than to get saved and go back. If you must pray, cry, or anything else, don't go back! (Preached on 7/29/2012).

Time for Lift Off

Friend, have you lifted off yet? God is calling you to spiritual orbit. This place consists of more than just being saved and living right. This place is attained beyond the cares and concerns of this world; with our affections exclusively set on possessing the fullness of God. Many understand in theory the glory that God has for His church in the end time, but how many of us are willing to give up life to experience that level of power in 2024? Pastor Hamptons shows us what it takes to get there in today's episode (preached on 10/1/97).
