Pastor Frank Hampton Jr. Sermons

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). 

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.
