Pastor Frank Hampton Jr. Sermons

A Benefit or a Burden

If a saint is not operating at full capacity, then they are a burden to the cause of God. This is because someone else is pulling some of the weight that they should be carrying. Bro. Hampton challenged the congregation's heart with this challenging message on September 11, 1988. He emphasized that the presence or lack of an office in the church does not determine whether one is a benefit or a burden. The determinant is whether or not God can use you in any way He needs you.

Soldiers of the Cross

We are in war. We are engaged in the most serious battle mankind has ever known; a spiritual battle between truth vs. error, right vs. wrong, and good vs. evil. God has styled his church as an army. God has styled those that make up His church as soldiers. In this message Pastor Hampton masterfully connects his personal experience in the Marine Corps, with how we are to conduct ourselves as soldiers in the army of God. 

Humpty Dumpty

"Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall; all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty together again." Though this message may seem amusing from the title, Bro. Hampton skillfully drew a sobering spiritual lesson from this poem. If you make shipwreck of your faith, it may not be able to be put back together again; this is why we must fiercely guard our faith! (Preached 8/1/1993). 

The Last Great Gathering

At this very moment God is conducting the final gathering; consisting of all people who are pure in their hearts, totally honest, and sincerely desire the truth. This final unifying effort is only going to be, and is currently being accomplished by the sounding forth of God's unique and distinct message for the church and world by his blameless ministry. Listener, may we earnestly contend to be apart and a perpetuator of what God is doing in these last times. (Preached at the 1997 Vichy (MO) camp meeting on 8/7/97).

You’re No Better Than You Are

Who you are indeed will eventually show. Pastor Hampton brought this out with clarity on November 15, 2000. There are some who go along with the truth because it is expected of them by the saints, but not because it is who they are. But a person will always end up doing what they truly want to do, whether this be to do wrong or right. This is a pattern that none is excluded from because all have either a divine or carnal nature which drives them.

For a Season

Friend, anything the world has to offer us or any situation we face in life is only for a season. While living on earth we are confined to certain limitations and boundaries. One of these being that nothing we face can or will last forever. "Our light affliction which is but for a moment" is not for our harm, but rather for our development. In this message we are reminded that no matter how dark our trial may get it's temporary, and is working for our good. (Preached 7/16/06).

Undivided Love

Listener, we live in a time where very few people truly love God according to His standard of love. On the second day of 1991, Pastor Hampton delivered the heavy burden of what undivided love for God truly is. By the help of God, Bro. Hampton made it clear that the commandment to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength is to be taken at face value. God expects and accepts nothing short of it.

The Necessity of the Holy Ghost

The Holy Ghost is the key figure in the new testament Christian. Without a definite infilling of the Holy Ghost, we cannot pray as we ought; in fact, we cannot even live a consistently holy life without Him. On September 27, 1981, Bro. Hampton clearly manifested the necessity of the Holy Ghost in the life of the saints, pulling his text from Luke 11:1-13. He also briefly taught how the Holy Ghost is attained, and how that God is more willing to give the Holy Ghost than you are to receive Him, if you will meet the conditions.

The Eulogy of Sister Buelah Beatrice Hampton

Today we are in for a special treat. In this episode we travel back to May 10, 2008, and experience Pastor Hampton give the eulogy for the love of his life, Buelah Beatrice Hampton. Pastor Hampton and his wife, Beatrice, came together in holy matrimony on May 8, 1954 and were blessed to see 54 wonderful years of marriage. From this blessed union came 11 children and 40 grandchildren. Pastor Hampton and his wife, Beatrice, spent countless time laboring together all across the United States and North America in various church of God congregations, attending a plethora of different camp meetings, holding revivals in numerous states, launching out on several mission trips, visiting the homes of the precious saints of God, and ultimately building, expanding, and leading the great work back at home in Jackson, Michigan. 

Bound in the Spirit

Even in Pastor Hampton's older age, his message never lost its depth and anointing. On January 16, 2015, in Springfield, Ohio, Brother Hampton delivered the challenging burden on his heart. His burden was for the saints of God to truly understand that we must operate under as if we were slaves to the Spirit of God; bound in the Spirit. Any and all spiritual success in the church has and will come from a people whose lives are not their own.
