ANNOUNCING! "VICTIMIZED! STIGMATIZED! DESPISED!" A DEFENSE FOR THE DIVORCED. An answer to the traditional view of divorce commonly held by most in the Baptist faith. See on Sermon Page.
"TEN EVENTFUL DAYS." JUST ADDED ON OUR SERMON PAGE! By Dr. Carl E. Sadler, Th.D. From the cover: "A study of the ten days surrounding our Lord's crucifixion, burial and resurrection, with an emphasis upon the interpretation of Matthew 12:40..."
This is a wonderful little booklet debunking the traditional Friday crucifixion theory and supporting the truth that it really was "three days and three nights." Dr. Sadler was a dear friend to many of us in the minstry and provided this booklet free to any that desired it. I have tried to keep it exactly as it was originally printed in 1939. The only additions I have made is to put it in outline form to make it a bit easier to use as a series of lessons for Sunday School or services. I do believe Dr. Sadler would be pleased with making this available and trust also that it will be a blessing to all read it.
ANNOUNCING! NEW SERIES JUST STARTED ON THE BOOK OF 1 CORINTHINANS ENTITLE THE "TRAGDY AT CORINTH!" See sermon page sermons as they are preached.
OUR CHURCH-The Grace Baptist Church is located on Old Hwy 11 just outside the city of Beattyville here in the mountains of Eastern KY. Our Pastor is Bro. Richard D. Adams. He has been Pastor since 2001 and was Pastor of Lynams Creek Baptist Church for over 17 years before coming to Grace. The Grace Baptist Church was organized under the authority of the South Irvine Baptist Church and called Bro. Elgie Hornsby as their first missionary Pastor. Others that have pastored are Bro. Andy Sexton under whose ministry the work was organized, Bro. Tim Armold, Bro. Rick Catt, and Bro. Adrian Mckinney.
The GBC is also the home of the Grace Baptist Academy. Our administrator is Bro. Bill Jewell who is supported in this great ministry by his wife, Christine, also by Jenny Lutes, and Alice Jewell. We usually average approximately 20 students from K-12. The school has been an integral part of the ministry of our church since its beginning.
The work began in a small rented building at the start, moved to a small single wide mobile home, bought property to build a new facility upon, and eventually moved into a new building. The church is still using this same facility but is in the process of building a new worship center next to the old building. If you are in this neck of the woods, stop by and visit with us.

LINKS TO CHURCHES-- Generally speaking, these churches are of like faith and order. (Arranged in alphabetical order).
Color Code: (If color is in bold it indicates an especially good site. Be forwarnedthat does not mean that you and I will agree with everything on these sites. Generally all these churches are Sovereign Grace, local church, and conservative in doctrine. After that there is great diversity. Some are strong KJV supporters, others may not be so strong; some will use grape juice, and some wine in the Lords Supper; some may be amil, while most seem to be pre-mill; some are pre-trib, some mid-trib, and some post-trib; some are a little hard and dogmatic and some are more gentle and open-minded. I just wish they were all perfect like me! (Thats is a joke by the way).
No. 1 Rated-- Green for churches that provide SS lessons; sermons; sermons series; books, links, audio sermons, articles, outlines, and more. These are the more extensive and varied of church web sites. BOLD MEANS BEST OF CLASS.
2. Red for pastors that provide audio sermons (sometimes a few text sermons as well).
3. Orange for pastors that provide text sermons and/or sermon series.
4. Purple for pastors or sites that provide books; articles; history; Bible studies; etc.

POEMS--Never before published outside the family. 1. The Old Church Yard by Clayton Adams. THE LIGHTER SIDE FOR LATE SUMMER (Will change these monthly, or thereabouts!) I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man One day I was walking down the beach with My colleague and I were eating our lunch in the cafeteria, My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car From the wep page: http://www.danggoodjokes.com/amongus/
2. Mother by Clayton Adams
3. That Day, first attempt at a poem from the heart.
THEY ARE AMONG US AND THEY VOTE!
So I went to the lost luggage office and told the
woman there that my bags never showed up.
She smiled and told me not to worry because she was
a trained professional and I was in good hands.
"Now," she asked me,
"Has your plane arrived yet?"...
ordering a small pizza to go.
He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him
if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6.
He thought about it for some time before responding.
"Just cut it into 4 pieces;
I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces.
*Yep,
some friends when someone shouted....
"Look at that dead bird!"
Someone looked up at the sky and said...
"Where???"
when we overheard one of the administrative assistants
talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to
the shore.
She drove down in a convertible, but
"didn't think she'd get sunburned because
the car was moving".
it's designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets
trapped.
She keeps it in the trunk...
