Luke 7:36-50
Paul ends his letter to the church with a prayer for them, and a call to prayer for him. He also reminds them that God is working to sanctify them, even as they wait. The act of sanctification is meant to affect our whole person: spirit, soul, and body. 1 Thessalonians 5:23-28.
As Paul starts to close his letter to the church in Thessalonica he encourages them to be mindful of some healthy practices as a church. Be mindful of your leaders. Be mindful of your brothers and sisters. Be mindful of your own spiritual health. 1 Thessalonians 5:12-22
Not only had some in the Thessalonians church become preoccupied with setting their eyes to the clouds while neglecting their present reality and responsibility, others began to question if they had truly missed the second coming of Jesus Christ. Paul explains to them what the Day of the Lord will look like and how they had not missed it. In fact they had been given everything they need to recognize it when it does come. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
Have you ever worried about what will happen to you when you die? Or maybe you worry about your friends and family that have passed away before you. Paul comes in and gives a word of encouragement to the Thessalonians church who were worried about this exact issue. Paul tells them that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is essential to the hope that they have for their future. Jesus was raised, and so will we. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
Paul was concerned that the Thessalonian church was not going to "leave well". They had their eyes set on Jesus (which is a good thing), but some of them had started to neglect the responsibilities they had in this present world. 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12
Paul turns his attention to practical matters of Christian living. In order to address the cultural issues of the day Paul mentions that the way the church family views sex is going to be different than the world around them. They are going to take a radically different approach. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8
*The recording cuts out and comes back in toward the end of the sermon. There is a couple minutes that are missing from the sermon.
1 Thessalonians 3:6-13
Paul is finally getting a report back on how the Thessalonians church is doing, and he is pleased. Today we are going to talk about the anxiety that Paul suffered because of the uncertainty of this church, and how their standing strong in the faith was an encouragement to him.
Today is a day about grief and loss. We can't be too quick to jump right into Sunday and miss the weight of this moment. Today it feels like sin and suffering will always prevail. How about we take a page from the Scriptures and fully lament our position and state. This is not the way it should be. Where is our hope? Sunday is coming, but today makes us appreciate the miracle of Sunday more deeply. Good Friday is when the weight of the world sought to crush our Savior.
Paul couldn't get himself to the city of Thessalonica. In the last section of Scripture he writes that Satan is actually hindering him. Something is stalling him out, but he is not satisfied. So, what does he do? He sends Timothy. Timothy could go where Paul could not. We will unpack that as well as the idea of encouraging those in our circle of influence. 1 Thessalonians 3:1-5
Paul gives us his heart as a pastor. He cares for those who he has helped grow in Christ. In this passage we hear Paul's desire to come see them, but he is being stopped on all sides. His love never ceases though. 1 Thessalonians 2:17-20
What do we believe about the Word of God? Do we even believe that He has spoken to us? The church in Thessalonica had to wrestle with these questions. In the end, they trusted that God's word is true and can be trusted, and it transformed the way they lived their life. Will God's word have the same effect on us today?
Today we will be tackling 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12. Paul is giving us his story and through it, he is telling us what it looks like to "Get in the Game". Paul was committed to his mission because he had his eyes focused on Jesus and knew that he had been entrusted to take that message to the world around him.
This is our second week in the book of 1 Thessalonians. Paul is going to open up his letter with a lot of praise for what this new church is accomplishing. They were under intense persecution but yet they still stayed faithful to the Gospel. This week we see a testimony of how they are living their lives! 1 Thessalonians 1:2-10
Here is our first look at the church in Thessalonica seen through the lens of Paul's letter titled 1 Thessalonians. The Thessalonian church wasn't guaranteed to make it, in fact Paul had his doubts. Through some epic struggles but with strong faith this church made some real impacts in their community. This should be an encouragement to us all.
What makes you sit up and say "this is living!"? A time of celebration maybe. A time of advancement or maybe a time of sweet peace. I bet we don't say "this is living!" when we are having a hard time or going through a trial. The Apostle Paul is going to take us into his little secret on what he thought was the good life. Hint, hint, it starts with Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:12-21
Jens brings a special message from 1 John 4 on the topic of love. God is love and so we can share that love with others. The question is will we take up the challenge?
In our final look at the letter to the Galatian church, we find Paul giving a final direct plea as well as an encouraging message for the church body. Unity, compassion, love for one another, support, correction, and provision are some of the topics he will pack into this tight little section. Galatians 6:1-10
Fruit or Work. Which one sounds more appealing? Paul is going to take us through how much work we have to put in if we are going to walk in the flesh versus what it means to produce fruit because of the power of the Holy Spirit. Being fruit is a lot less burdensome. Galatians 5:16-26
Christ has made us free! That is great news. But that freedom might mean something different than what we expect or are used to. Paul takes us through the freedom that Christ gives and what that means for our lives. Passage - Galatians 5:1-15
This was a fantastic message given by our guest speaker Neil Hubacker. This is actually a copy of the message he provided that he preached at his home church a few weeks before delivering at FBC. Enjoy. It is a timely message for the day and age we live in. Isaiah 42 is the text
Paul takes us back to Abraham and a struggle that he went through because he tried to work through his own power to fulfill the promises that God had given him. Again, Paul takes us to Abraham to compare slavery to religion versus freedom in Christ. Galatians 4:8-31
It's the last week of Advent so Christmas is near. What a great time to be reminded about the true freedom we have in Jesus Christ. Not only are we found not guilty because of sin, but we have been given a new family. Let's walk with Paul as he lays out what it means to be adopted sons and daughters of God. Galatians 3:26-4:7
Paul is going to continue to tie our faith to the example of Abraham in the Old Testament. But now he is going to show us the Law's place in all of this. Do you follow the rules or don't you. Paul lays it out here in Galatians 3:10-26.
Paul is going to take us up three different mountains in Galatians 3. The Promises of Abraham, the Mosaic Law, and the Mountain pointing to Jesus. Today we are going to look at the righteousness that Abraham found through faith in God. Galatians 3:1-9
In Chapter 2 of the book of Galatians, Paul tells a fascinating story about two ways that the church isn't reflecting the example of Jesus. Working through legalism and working through hypocrisy. But then Paul shows us how we are free because of our faith in Jesus Christ.
The time we live in could be described as discouraging. But the reality is this is where we are. So, how will we respond? Do we stay in our discouragement or do we take a new path? Jesus gives us the option for a new path! Luke 24:13-35
You have a testimony. You have a story to share with the world. The Apostle Paul was very open about his own story and that is where we are today. We are going to look at his life before Jesus, the grace in his conversion, and his life after that glorious event. He had a story and so do we. Are we ready to share that story of freedom with others?
Paul starts out his letter to the Galatians with guns blazing. He gets straight to the point and doesn't hold back. Paul asks them why they have given up, why they have listened to a false gospel, and why they think he is just a people pleaser. He says pay attention because we are going to get these details all worked out. Galatians 1:6-10
It's time to talk politics! We are exploring a political issue that the church of Galatia was facing and also talking about the political experience we are having today. Galatians 6:11-13
Today we start Galatians. This is a book packed full of what it means to find our sufficiency in Jesus Christ. Paul takes this short but intense letter to remind the church of the basic truths of the Gospel message. Today we are in Galatians 1:1-5, 6:11-18
In this final week on the greatest commands given by Jesus, we take a look at loving our enemies. Before you turn this off and say no way, maybe take a journey with us in an encounter that Jesus had with one of his nation's biggest enemies. Mark 12 and Matthew 8 this week
We always talk about how critical families are to the health of our country. The problem is when we cast our eyes out wide but neglect to take care of those who are nearest to us. It's easy to blame a world that looks like it is crumbling apart but Psalm 128 is going to remind us that it starts with how we take care of our own family.
Todays message centers on the text of Romans 14. The ancient church struggled with divisions when it came to food and meeting days. We might not struggle with the same issues, but there are divisions over opinion still in the church today. What are they and how do we love on brothers and sisters that might have different convictions than we do? Join in the conversation.
Jesus loves the church and so should we. If you are part of the Body of Christ then it is our calling and mission to love those around us. Let's take a quick peek at Romans 12 and see what Paul says about loving the church and loving as the church.
What does it mean when Jesus says that we should love our neighbor as ourselves? Should we love ourselves? Does how we treat our neighbors depend on how we treat ourselves? Let's dive into Mark 12 as well as a few other passages as we see what it means to love ourselves and how that plays out in the rest of our relationships.
When asked about the greatest command Jesus replied love God and love your neighbor. The two combined for the greatest command. Today we are taking a peek at what it means to Love God. Mark 12 and Psalm 116
Jesus was asked about His opinion on what the greatest command was. This is the first in the multi-week series on the Love our God, love your neighbor command. Come explore the various meanings of neighbor and what it means to love them the way Jesus does. This series is based on Mark 12:28-34.
Solomon was the wisest man who ever walked the earth. He was given this gift because God asked him what he wanted gift he wanted as he became the new king. Instead of riches, or luxury, power, or triumph over his enemies Solomon asked for a discerning heart. God was pleased to give him this. The question for the day is, as we look at Solomon's example, what area of our lives do we need more wisdom? Join us for a study of 1 Kings 3.
FBC's Deacon Austin is going to take us through a journey about what it means to trust in the Lord and see his faithfulness. Austin himself has experiences physical trials over the last year and he is going to relay what the Lord has been doing in his life as well as help us take a look at 1 Chronicles 29:10-13 a prayer of King David.
Today we are taking a look a the warrior woman Deborah. She lived during a unique time and was a unique leader for the nation of Israel. As God is delivering the nation from another round of bondage He uses Deborah as his chosen guide for the nation. Take a look today at Judges 4-5.
Today we take a peek at 2 Samuel 11. The time when David fell to temptation. We are all human, like David, and we have a lot to learn from David and his struggle. Join in as we take a look at what it means to repent and be forgiven by a loving God.
We American's live in the land of the free and the home of the brave, but what does it mean to be free? Can I do whatever I want, or live however I want? Let's take a look at David and see how he used his freedom when he had to make some tough choices. 1 Samuel 24
What does it mean to be a disciple? Elijah called Elisha to follow in his footsteps and in 2 Kings 2 we see the handing off of the baton (mantle).
What does being King of the Castle mean? Does it mean power, authority, demanded respect? Maybe when God set up the family maybe He didn't set men up to be the King of the Castle in that often abusive way. Fatherhood is so much bigger and better than any stereotype. Father's keep your eyes turned toward your family. Seek out the best. Proverbs 31
Acts 9:10-19 - Sometimes God asks us to walk through a door and we don't know what's on the other side. This was the case for Ananias as Jesus asked him to go and minister to a Christian hater. What would Ananias find, a Saul who still had murder in his heart for those who followed Jesus or a man whose heart had been changed?
We all have to make choices in life about how we will treat other people. Sometimes it's so easy to get wrapped up in our own world that we don't recognize that there is a world that is hurting and struggling all around us. Today we take a look at what oppression looked like for a people long ago. Funny thing is attitudes often don't change over time.
Happy Birthday Church! This is what happened way back when during a certain Pentecost celebration. Jesus had died, rose again, and ascended to the Father all so that the church could be born. You are part of God's great big family!
Today we end our journey through James. And boy does he have a big challenge for us as he finishes up this letter. What do we do when someone strays from the faith? Let's tune in to see.
James 5:13-18. James starts to close his letter talking about prayer. Persistent prayer, anticipation in prayer, and faithful prayer. James pulls in a famous story from a Testament of the past to talk about prayer for our day and age.
James has a pretty straight forward message when it comes to oaths and promises. He stresses the important of telling the truth and keeping the promises we make to one another.
Do you struggle with patience? If we are honest I'm sure we would all say yes to some extent. James is going to talk about living a patient life as we wait for the Day of the Lord. Join in as we explore what it means to have patience as we walk through life.
Money can be used for good and it can be used for selfish reasons. James is going to confront a group of folks who were exploiting others and building little kingdoms for themselves. You may say "well I'm not rich so this doesn't apply to me". We know that all Scripture is God-breathed and so is edifying and beneficial to us all. There is probably a little something in here for us poor folks as well!
We like to make plans. Big plans, little plans, it doesn't matter we just like to plan out our lives. The problem can be when we leave God out of those plans. James is going to show us how futile it is not to seek after the will of the Lord as we live our daily lives.
Easter Sunday. It's a day of celebration because our Lord and Savior has risen from the dead. Jesus is his name!
James is going to talk to us about what toxic relationships look like. There is a lot packed into these two verses. Join us Sunday as we dive in to this tough but necessary passage of Scripture.
James is writing to a church that is at war with itself instead of the real enemy the Devil. He tells then that the way they are acting comes from selfish hearts and that they are being unfaithful to God. Very strong words. He asks them to take sin seriously and we should do the same today.
James is concerned that our lives reflect our walk with the Lord. If we say that we are following Him, yet we don't live it do we really have faith? James is going to tell us that we need to seek the wisdom that God wants to provide.
James talks a lot about what it means to work out your faith. This is the chapter where he makes a strong case for faith without works being dead. Does our life measure up to the faith that we profess? We stand at a critical junction as a church. Those questions and more will be addressed in this message.
We may play favorites but God doesn't. Isn't that great news! James gives us a look at what a certain church was doing to cater to the rich while neglecting the poor. He says this is not how the Body of Christ is to act. The Kingdom of God doesn't operate that way and if we are Kingdom people we shouldn't either.
James gets right to the point of the matter. Do we take our calling through the Gospel of Jesus Christ seriously, or do we just give it lip service. Taking it seriously means that we ask the questions, what does Jesus have for me to do today. And then we do it! Don't settle for being a hearer, go out and be a doer.
James has a lot to say about living a holy life, but before he gets into that he has us pause and ponder a simple but profound truth. We as the Body of Christ are the first fruits of His new creation. We don't live a holy life by just abiding by rules. We live a holy life by living in the freedom that Christ has provided for us. A freedom to do good and honor God.
A man in dire need of help finds healing and salvation through Jesus because of he and of his friends faith.
James had talked about trials and what it means to have the Joy of the Lord even when we have to walk through them. James is going to follow up and say that when you are in a trial there will be a good chance that you will be tempted to act on your own, which can lead to sinful behavior if we are not careful. James says, own it, work on it, and live out a life as the first fruits of God's creation!
Right off the bat with his letter James is very clear that we will experience trials in our lives. Big trials, little trials, trials that we feel we have no hope to make it through. James says there is hope and it comes through Jesus Christ. Not only is there hope James tells us that we can experience joy even in the midst of the worst trial, because we know where we stand with God.
James was one of Jesus' little brothers. Can you imagine growing up in the house with Jesus as your big brother. "Why can't you be more like Jesus?" or "Jesus manages to keep his room clean." As Jesus began his ministry it looks like James felt a lot of pressure on his family. So what turned this skeptic of Jesus into a Jesus follower?
Advent is a season of remembrance as well as anticipation. We remember the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ and we anticipate his future return. All the while we live our lives spreading the hope that we find through him.

Jesus was the master storyteller. He used them in a way to challenge his listeners, give them a new view of the Kingdom of God, show God's character, and even thin out the crowds.
