Midtown Baptist Temple FOI: Recent Episodes
Midtown Baptist Temple
We are a Christian volunteer group that wants to make a difference in our world by doing good works in our local and international community on campus. Each year more than 1,000,000 international come to the USA to study or to live. We see this as an opportunity to be a friend at a time when their need is greatest.
In Genesis 41, we look at how Joseph’s wardrobe changed from Genesis 37 to 41. We will also be looking at the significance of his new attire from Pharaoh and the pictures each represent!
In Genesis 41 we learn to accept God's ways! His timing, his qualifications, and his plans all run contrary to the ways of this world. And yet He speaks with clarity and His words always come to pass!
In Genesis 40 we find Joseph in an unlikely position. One would think that he being sold into slavery, wrongfully accused, and sent to prison would need ministering. Instead we find Joseph ministering to others. And giving a message both of redemption and judgement. Here we learn the heart and message of a true minister.
In John 4 we often look over the disciples, who were seeking food in Samaria as Jesus revealed himself to the woman at the well. Today we will consider the disciples, and what it means for us to be ready and able ministers!
Today we will dive back into Genesis 39. Here Joseph teaches what it looks like to be a servant in this world, and how to have victory over temptation.
Today we will wrap up Genesis 37. We'll catch the vantage point from both Joseph and his brother's as they venture from Bethel, to Shechem, and on to Dothan! These places have more significance than we might acknowledge in passing!
This evening we are digging into dreams. We will break down Joseph’s two dreams from Genesis 37, we will consider some biblical guiding principles for dreams, and lastly we will discuss how God communicates with us today!
As we continue in the story of Joseph, we witness the horrible outcomes that hatred can produce. We consider Joseph as an example of how to deal with hatred and ultimately how to overcome hatred with love.
We begin our study of Joseph by digging into his background and upbringing. Using Joseph as our example we learn how to overcome past family drama and to deal with temptation.
As a ministry grows and more disciples are made, there will be a time of transition where new leaders will be established. In this message, we will look at how Nehemiah hands over his leadership of Jerusalem to his brothers and the leadership qualities we can glean from them.
In Malachi chapter 2, the Lord mounts accusations against the priesthood of Israel and how they fail to give glory to God. Today we consider how we as a royal priesthood of believers ought to give glory to God!
Throughout life and ministry, there is no doubt that we will face disappointment and trials. In this message, we will look at how Jesus responds to disappointment in His ministry and the trials the disciples faced in Mark 6:45-52.
In this message we look at Mark 6:30-46 & what it means to rest believingly with our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.
With our current generation, many a times we find ourselves not having enough time. In this message, we will look at the example of how Nehemiah managed his time and priorities when building the wall.
In 2 Samuel 6 we see David move the ark of the covenant. Here we gain insights on how we ought to seek the presence of the Lord. We learn that good intentions aren’t enough. It doesn’t just matter that we seek God, it matters how we seek God.

Do you have a testimony of light, or dark? Luke 11:33-36 asks us to look again, and take heed.
This week, we look at John chapter 3, 7 and 19, on Nicodemus’ approach to Jesus. In John, it shows how an individual would come to know Jesus and the criteria to enter into the the kingdom of God. Besides that, we will also be listening to the testimonies of members of FOI on what God has showed them during Mission Focus 2020.
Who Christ is determines what Christianity is. In this message we discuss seven heretical views of Christ. We then look at Christ’s qualifications to save according to His Word. Then we walk through seven things “atonement” means according to Scripture.
This week, we look at an overview of Chapter 3 and the first 4 gates in their efforts to rebuild the walls. The rebuilding of the wall is a picture of us "ruling our own spirit". Prov 25:28

This week we draw leadership principles from Nehemiah 3 as he begins to lead the charge for the rebuilding of the wall. We will also look at the profound meaning of the first gate mentioned: sheep gate.
This week we see Nehemiah take his journey to Jerusalem. We observe the many distinct discernment displayed by Nehemiah because he is in tune with God. God put in his heart to do something specific and discreet in Jerusalem that turns out to be a treasure guide to the root issue of the children of Israel.
This week, we see the maturity and faith of Nehemiah who is not afraid to put his own neck on the line. While he fully vested, he does not force God's hand but is willing to wait on the Lord and allowed God to work in his own heart.
