About this listen

  • Growth Means Change
    Jan 19 2026

    Ephesians 2:19-22

    Pastor Troy brings us another message for our vision month. Towards the end of the message, he delivers the vision that God has given him for Bald Mountain Baptist Church, asking that we pray for God to help us grasp ahold of where He wants to take us as a church, and we ask you join us in prayer as well! To open up this message, Troy brings a powerful thought about the true essence of "growth" as a concept. Put simply, as the title states, growth means change. While the Word of Truth never changes, there are many things in our hearts and lives that must change if we desire to see growth, both personal and corporate.

    Pastor Troy has been in a series series on Worship for a while, but says we will be taking an extended break as the Lord sees fit during the start of this new season. For January and beyond, we will be focusing on the Vision of the church, praying that God will help us to reach the Shumont community and to grow as a church. Pastor Cory is also making his way through the book of Ephesians in his messages, but is taking a break from that as well during this season. We at Bald Mountain Baptist Church are so glad you have joined us here, and our prayer is that you are blessed by this message!

    The calling for every Christian is to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. Well, where does the earth begin and where does it end? For us at Bald Mountain Baptist Church, the world begins in the Shumont Community on top of a little peak in Buncombe County, NC. Our prayer is that through this platform we might do our part in reaching the ends of the earth with the gospel!

    Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.

    Isaiah 42:10-11

  • What It Means to Walk with God
    Jan 11 2026

    Psalm 16:1-11

    Pastor Cory delivers a message from this "golden" psalm of David in our new year vision month. After Pastor Troy preached about keeping Christ at the center of our lives, Cory finds it appropriate to tell us what it means to truly walk with God. You will hear a familiar verse in this psalm, as David remarks how the lines have fallen to him in pleasant places. Even in the midst of adversity and uncertainty, we can always rely on God's goodness and guidance as we seek to enact His will as individuals and as a church.

  • Christ at the Center
    Jan 4 2026

    Lamentations 3:17-25; John 15:1-5; 1 Peter 2:1-6

    Pastor Troy brings us into the New Year with a message regarding the vision and direction of the church. Before we are to grow numerically or physically, the we must grow individually in our relationship with Christ. For this to happen, Christ must take priority in our lives above all else. And not only priority, He must be the very wellspring and foundation of our lives. The church is made of people, and for Christ to be the cornerstone of Bald Mountain Baptist Church, He must be the cornerstone of the hearts and lives of those who make up the church!
