Pastor Frank Hampton Jr. Sermons

Haters of God

Either you love God or you hate God, there is no middle ground. The concept of hating God is not a foreign idea in our world today, in fact, the world is filled with haters of God. Knowing this, think it not strange when you are hated by the world, "for the world hated Christ before it hated you"; but rather expect to be hated by the world, and view it as a confirmation of your "Christ"-ianity. If you love God you'll keep his commandments and you'll stand for all the truth His word sets forth. If you hate, resist, or deny Gods commandments you hate, resist, and deny God himself. Listener, may we love God with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength. 

Would You Offer It to the Governor?

The service that you are giving to your earthly responsibilities should not come close to the level of service that you are giving to God. But the sad thing is that there are some whose service to God would not even to be acceptable in their natural affairs. How about your service? "If Jesus came to your house to spend a day or two -If He came unexpectedly, I wonder what you'd do." Would you have to alter your level of service? God burdened Pastor Hampton's heart with this all-important message, and we all would do well to carefully examine ourselves in comparison.

About My Father’s Business

Take a second and really consider this question. Are you more concerned with your business or God’s business? It is not optional or up to subjective decision that we make spirituality our driving force and chief concern in life; it “must” be. Either our Father’s business is prime to us or He wants absolutely nothing to do with us. Lord help us all to completely remove our focus from ourselves and realign it to the work of God. 
Date preached: 12/6/1981

Being Ready

Listener, can you honestly say that at this moment you are ready to do whatever God calls you to do? Pastor Hampton brought out the point that to be ready is to be prepared to act immediately; without hesitation. God only works through and for those who are ready. Many have blown opportunities that God presented because they were unready. May this all-important message cause us to take inventory of ourselves, knowing that readiness is not an option. (Preached 12/12/1982).

The Supreme Sacrifice

God sacrificed His son for us, therefore we ought to live our life as a physically moving, living, or quickened sacrifice; spiritually dead to ourselves, sin, and the disposition to sin, and totally committed to serve God, our brethren in the Lord, and our human family. God is requiring what we hold dearest, yea even our own life. May the Lord grant us all a sincere grasp of this message. (preached on 09/07/86)

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.
