On Super Bowl Sunday and in the middle of the 2022 Winter Olympics, the word “tough” fits well with our scriptures. Athletes in each of the sports represented from across the world are tough. Their workout disciplines, their physicality, their stamina and their overall ability each embodies the very best of human of toughness.
For our scriptures today, especially Jesus’ words in Luke 6, toughness takes on a nuanced double meaning. Love is tough in the same way these athletes characterize toughness. It is also tough because it’s hard.
In our sermon for today, Dr. Jordan shares several biblical warnings and reasons for why love can be extremely difficult. He also provides clear insights for how we can overcome those difficulties. Join us as we are honest about the challenges; and hear, also, the good news that can overcome them.

For Further Exploration:If you are interested in discovering the fascinating contrast to what John the Elder says in Revelation about the Roman Empire and how Paul the Apostle feels about Rome, especially in Romans 13, read Dr. Jordan’s article in Baptist News Global: “From Romans to Revelation: How Christians Began to Stand Against the Emperor.”

Note: Beginning this coming Sunday, you will not want to miss Dr. Jordan’s new four-part series on Revelation called:
Revealing the Truth: Explorations of Revelation
Over the next four weeks, you will learn the living power of these mysterious words. We will also explore the fascinating background about why this controversial book of the Bible appears to be both so frightening, as well as so confusing. Our goal, though, is not only to offer more clarity, but to also share the original intent: to inspire hope for the future and courage for today. We look forward to having you join us!

It is subtle. Often celebrated as a grand parade of great joy, this entry of Jesus into Jerusalem is far more complicated. And the subtly of the text hints at a broad disconnect between the people, and Jesus.
It is the crowd that is jubilant. But Jesus sees his journey into the holy city in a much different light. His is a perspective that resonates still today with hope, with power, and with love.
Join us as Dr. Jordan guides us through the Triumphal Entry as told by both the gospels of Mark and of Luke, and what it means for you and me today.

Along with this classic story from Exodus, this Sunday is also “Celebration Sunday.” We are joyfully joining together with Scott Boulevard Baptist Church in our official merger to form our newly united congregation. We join together for a new journey of life and faith, and we are truly excited about what our joint future holds.
Along with Dr. Jordan’s sermon, Dr. Greg Smith, the Senior Pastor of Scott Boulevard, will be introducing by name and with photos our forty-five new additions to the First Baptist Decatur family of faith. We are so thankful, and we truly can celebrate God’s great deliverance and our new and joyful union in grace, truth, and love, joined together for the journey!

Join us for a fascinating and very timely interview with our own Randall Hampton and Decatur’s Police Chief, Mike Booker.
As a former resident of Chicago, Randall also was a member of the Black Panthers for a few years. He speaks openly of that time and the behind-scenes reality of the African-American community that white people need to hear. He also offers wisdom for our present-day circumstances.
Chief Booker speaks openly about our Decatur Police Department’s emphasis on compassion, empathy, and truly working to understand what our community residents are thinking and feeling. He also outlines the Trust Initiative that our Decatur police along with six other departments in Georgia are facilitating. With their efforts, they are creating true partnerships among all citizens. This Trust Initiative is becoming a much-needed model for cities and towns across the nation.
I am so thankful to be able to share both of these good friends and valuable members of our city with you. Please join us for this important and timely conversation!

From Dr. Jordan’s recent experience as one of our five Decatur representatives at the Georgia Police-Community Trust Initiative, he further offers amazing examples of Police Chiefs from across the country sharing stories of doing this very thing: Of listening carefully, researching fully, confessing, apologizing for past actions, and initiating active public involvement for bringing about redemptive community work to change the future. The power of reconciliation and community action is inspiring. And the examples these police chiefs and their efforts are powerful. Now, as a follower of Jesus, may you be inspired for confidence in God’s reconciling work of hope and trust.

We live in a complicated world. So did those early Christians in Rome. Like them, we are recognizing the necessity of passing on our faith to the next generation. Like them, we must learn and grow in our discipleship. And like them, we are challenged to utilize the resources God provides in the best and most responsible ways we can. Let us discover our calling to Enhance Our Sustainability; let us be “Living Sacrifices” sharing in the exciting “Spiritual Worship” of everyday life (Romans 12:1).

The first few lines from Paul’s letter to the Roman church in Romans 12 resonate with broad clarity for our day. Dr. Jordan takes us from the empty tomb on Easter to that energetic and expanding church in Rome to the streets and homes of our own Decatur community. Join us on the journey!
Vision 2020:
*Care for Our Community; Enhance Our Sustainability
Engaging Our Community*
Our Deacons began interacting with this Vision 2020 draft back at our Deacon’s retreat in January 2019. Every church faces key challenges. We need to hear the gospel clearly; learn and grow in our own faith; translate growth into our everyday lives; and integrate that faith into our faith community in a coordinated, meaningful way.
We hope the Vision 2020 begins to be that good and healthy balance. As Christians, we are called to take seriously Jesus’ concerns about the world that surrounds us; and we are to be discerning about the community in front of us.
We need to balance deepening our own discipleship so that we have the tools and the inspiration to reach out to others without burning out ourselves. We must take seriously our personal stewardship of time, talent and resources. While at the same time, we must be conscientious contributors to this community of faith seeking to impact the broader community. Therefore, these three imperatives offer a vital balance.
We at First Baptist Decatur are called to:
- Care for Our Community
- Enhance Our Sustainability
- Engage Our Community
The next two weeks, David will share more about each imperative and how our Deacons and all of us can live into these callings most effectively. Already, we have been hard at work discerning new initiatives, supporting ongoing needs, addressing energy efficiency and green energy opportunities and seeking to be creative and redemptive in the ways that we as a staff, deacons and congregation hear more clearing God’s calling for our ministry in this time and place.

God redeems lost causes. Dr. Jordan begins our journey with Psalm 118, at the very center of our Bible. This powerful passage offers us vital clues for the Resurrection Day we celebrate. “The stone the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone …” Meanwhile, a group of Jesus’ followers make their way to the tomb in a garden just outside of Jerusalem. What they discover confounds them. What they share with the broader group of disciples seems like nothing more than an “idle tale.” And yet, on further reflection, they wonder…
Join us in hearing the power of this foundational theme of our faith from the Easter hope in Jesus!

Passover and the deep memory of God’s deliverance from Egypt was not the only dynamic woven into the psyche of the people the Gospel of Luke describes as Jesus entered Jerusalem. His entrance into that holy city created “ambiguous complexity” then, just as his presence in our lives still does today. Choices are required. Hear with us his sacred movement into and along the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem that day … and now.

In preparation for Palm Sunday and Holy Week, we experience a fascinating story of Jesus’ encounter with a man in a tree. Humility is hard. Hypocrisy is easy and common. Tough love might not be what we want, but it is often what we need. From this passage that many of us heard about as children, Dr. Jordan offers some new and valuable insights about Jesus and the different kind of love he shares when necessary.

In this message, Dr. Jordan explores how Jesus describes “what God is like.” From Luke 15, Jesus is confronted by some religious folks who are very concerned about who he is spending time with. His focus on and his acceptance of (“he even eats with them!”) this strange rabble of folks prompts “mumbling and grumbling” from these pious onlookers. Join us as we explore together his controversial, revolutionary response that is as relevant today as it ever was!

"The only way that we are going to move forward as the body of Christ is to embody the Luke [6:27-36] text - that means you must turn to those who do not look like you, who do not believe like you, who do not think like you, and [who] probably can’t stand the sight of you. But you must love them with a deep and abiding love." – Alina Bowie

This Epiphany Sunday, Dr. Jordan explores the connections between the Magi’s journey to visit Jesus, and our own pilgrimages of life and faith. From Isaiah 60:1: “Rise, shine, your light has come …” Matthew 2:1-12, connects that passage with the fascinating story of the Magi following a star, going to Jesus, bringing gifts and encountering Herod.
GOING DEEPER:
Traveling with others always requires particular sensitivity and skill. The same is true as we journey together in faith. Using the five points of the star the Wise Men followed to Jesus, we are challenged to live by these five points for our own deeper wisdom.
- Kindness is contagious
- Flexibility is helpful
- Humility is vital
- Gratitude is transformational
- Generosity is sacred
Finally, like the Magi, we inevitably encounter Herod in or around Jerusalem. These troublesome times of life necessitate not only wisdom, but also courage and strength. Therefore, like those Wise Men of old:
- Be aware of the warning signs
- Know where you stand and where you need to go
- Listen for holy messages of deeper wisdom
- Feel free to “go home a different way”
- Let your light shine!
If you’re looking to learn more about Herod the Great or Cleopatra, two enormous influences in first-century Palestine, we recommend reading Herod King of the Jews and Friend of the Romans as well as Cleopatra: A Life. Both are available on Amazon.

In this message from Dr. David Jordan, he shares the story from Acts 10:1-43 and speaks about the mutual hatred and tension between Peter (a Jew) and Cornelius (a Roman lieutenant). But God worked in both of their hearts to help them overcome their prejudice.
A poignant sermon fitting for the tension that exists in our country right now regarding the crisis at the border. What are we to do about those seeking asylum? How should we respond to refugees? What about families being torn apart? We must overcome fear and prejudice and move forward in love for the other.

Rev. Dr. David Gushee wraps up our Christmas series with "Christmas is Christ Supreme," where he offers a parting word on his last Sunday as our interim pastor.
Scripture Reference: Colossians 1:15-20
Matt Snyder continues our "Christmas is..." series by looking at the simple nature of Jesus entering into the world and into our own lives.
Scripture Reference:
"“There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world… Now this was John’s testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, ‘I am not the Christ.’ They asked him, ‘Then who are you? Are you Elijah?’ He said, ‘I am not.’ ‘Are you a prophet?’ He answered, ‘No.’ Finally they said, ‘Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?’ John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, ‘I am a voice of one calling in the desert, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’’ Now some Pharisees who had been sent questioned him, ‘Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?’ ‘I baptize with water,’ John replied, ‘but among you stands one you do not know. He is the one who comes after me, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.’ This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptized.”

Scripture Reference.
Dr. David Gushee finishes our series on John's Jesus by reflecting on the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead in John 11. What implications does this have for you and me? Listen to find out.
Scripture Reference:
"When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days. Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, some two miles away, and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them about their brother. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary stayed at home. Martha said to Jesus, 'Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that God will give you whatever you ask of him.' Jesus said to her, 'Your brother will rise again.'" (John 11:17-23) Read the rest here.
Rev. Jeremy Sean Hall shared with us on Gratitude Sunday during the Fresh Start worship service on John 9:1-9, 30-38.
SCRIPTURE REFERENCE:
*As he walked along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned; he was born blind so that God’s works might be revealed in him. We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva and spread the mud on the man’s eyes, saying to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). Then he went and washed and came back able to see. The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar began to ask, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” Some were saying, “It is he.” Others were saying, “No, but it is someone like him.” He kept saying, “I am the man.”
The man answered, “Here is an astonishing thing! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. We know that God does not listen to sinners, but he does listen to one who worships him and obeys his will. Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins, and are you trying to teach us?” And they drove him out. Jesus heard that they had driven him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” He answered, “And who is he, sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him.” Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, and the one speaking with you is he.” He said, “Lord, I believe.” And he worshiped him.
-- John 9:1-9, 30-38*
Rev. Bob Williamson shares with us on Gratitude Sunday from John 9:1-9, 30-38 in his sermon titled, "A Reason to Give." Bob says, “Thankfulness probably begins not by looking in the mirror, but by looking out the window. Looking at where we can invest our lives, our gifts, our time, beyond ourselves… how can we invest in God’s work and in others?”
SCRIPTURE REFERENCE:

Tell me, so that I may believe in him.” Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, and the one speaking with you is he.” He said, “Lord, I believe.” And he worshiped him.
-- John 9:1-9, 30-38*
Dr. David Gushee shares with us from John 8:31-59 and looks at the discussion between Jesus and the Pharisees concerning "fathers" and "identity." What does this conversation actually have to do with us? What does it imply for us in today's world?
Scripture Reference:
Jesus answered them, "Very truly, I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not have a permanent place in the household; the son has a place there forever. So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you look for an opportunity to kill me, because there is no place in you for my word. I declare what I have seen in the Father’s presence; as for you, you should do what you have heard from the Father.” (John 8:34-38). Read the rest of the passage here.
Dr. David Gushee shares with us from John 7:53-8:11 about the story of the woman caught in adultery. But what about the man who was with her? What is it about the Old Testament laws that seem to favor men over women? How is Jesus different? Dr. Gushee gives us a thought-provoking glimpse.
Scripture Reference:
Then each of them went home, while Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Early in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him and he sat down and began to teach them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery; and making her stand before all of them, they said to him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery. Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” They said this to test him, so that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” And once again he bent down and wrote on the ground. When they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the elders; and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. Jesus straightened up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, sir." And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way, and from now on do not sin again.”
Dr. David Gushee continues to share with us on "John's Jesus" by reflecting on John 5:1-18 and the story of the man who had been crippled for 14,000 days. Do you know it?
Scripture Reference:
*Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”
Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked.
The day on which this took place was a Sabbath, and so the Jewish leaderssaid to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat.”
But he replied, “The man who made me well said to me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’ ”
So they asked him, “Who is this fellow who told you to pick it up and walk?”
The man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.
Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.” The man went away and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well.
So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him. In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.” For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.*
-- John 5:1-18
Special guest, Pastor Emeritus, Rev. Dr. Peter Rhea Jones shares with us from the Gospel of John on the story of the woman at the well (John 4:4-30, 39-42).
Scripture Reference:
*But he had to go through Samaria. So he came to a Samaritan city called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired out by his journey, was sitting by the well. It was about noon.
A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.” (His disciples had gone to the city to buy food.) The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?” (Jews do not share things in common with Samaritans.) Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.” The woman said to him, “Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? Are you greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us the well, and with his sons and his flocks drank from it?” Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.” The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.”
Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come back.” The woman answered him, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband’; for you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true!” The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that you are a prophet. Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem.” Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When he comes, he will proclaim all things to us.” Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who is speaking to you.”
Just then his disciples came. They were astonished that he was speaking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you want?” or, “Why are you speaking with her?” Then the woman left her water jar and went back to the city. She said to the people, “Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done! He cannot be the Messiah, can he?” They left the city and were on their way to him.*
Dr. David Gushee continues our new sermon series on "John's Jesus" by reflecting on John 2:13-25 and the story of Jesus cleansing the temple.
Scripture Reference:
*"The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. Making a whip of cords, he drove all of them out of the temple, both the sheep and the cattle. He also poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. He told those who were selling the doves, 'Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father’s house a marketplace!' His disciples remembered that it was written, 'Zeal for your house will consume me.' The Jews then said to him, 'What sign can you show us for doing this?' Jesus answered them, 'Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.' The Jews then said, 'This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and will you raise it up in three days?' But he was speaking of the temple of his body. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
"When he was in Jerusalem during the Passover festival, many believed in his name because they saw the signs that he was doing. But Jesus on his part would not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people and needed no one to testify about anyone; for he himself knew what was in everyone."* -- John 2:13-25

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.'"
-- Matthew 28:16-20
Dr. Gushee finishes up our sermon series on the Parables of Jesus by sharing from Luke 18:1-8.
Scripture:
Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always and not to lose heart. He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor had respect for people. In that city there was a widow who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Grant me justice against my opponent.’ For a while he refused; but later he said to himself, ‘Though I have no fear of God and no respect for anyone, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her justice, so that she may not wear me out by continually coming.’” And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God grant justice to his chosen ones who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long in helping them? I tell you, he will quickly grant justice to them. And yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
