Episodes
Wrong Way
You can be sincere, religious, even sprinting, and still be headed for the wrong end zone. In Acts 3, the crowd rushed to marvel at a healed man and the apostles who healed him, but missed the risen Christ they had rejected. Peter points them past the miracle and calls them, and us, to repent and turn to the author of life.
The Golden Hour
Devoted to God's Word, to each other, to the table, and to prayer—the early church shared a depth of life together worth longing for. We turn to Acts 2 to ask how we grow into a church like that today.
The Day Things Changed
When the Spirit fell at Pentecost, the crowd asked one question: "What does this mean?" We dig into Acts 2 to see how that day changed the world forever—sending the gospel out to every nation and bringing God's presence to dwell in his people.
Breathe in, Breathe out, and Go!
What do we do while we wait? We look at how the early church waited in the upper room—and the three simple practices that form the baseline of a steady faith.
From Comfort to Commission
What if we're asking God the wrong questions? As we open the book of Acts, we look at how the disciples missed what was right in front of them—and how easily we can do the same.
The Dust Stirrers
Who are we looking for when we choose deacons? We turn to 1 Timothy 3, where the measure isn't a person's wealth or standing but their character and faithful service.
A Church That Sends
A year ago, we didn't just say goodbye to one of our pastors—we sent him. This Founder's Day, Blake Shuecraft returns to show us from Acts 13 how the gospel multiplies through sending.
3,000 Gospel Conversations
We're called to proclaim the good news—but how does that actually happen? This week we look to Paul in Athens to discover how everyday conversations can become gospel conversations, right where we live, work, and gather.
What is the Gospel?
Could you explain the gospel if someone asked? This week we trace the story from Creation to Christ, letting Scripture define the greatest news the world has ever heard.
The Grand Finale
What does your praise reveal about what you truly believe about God? Psalm 150 is the Bible's grand finale of praise—calling all of heaven and earth to worship the God who is worthy of it all!
Fully Known
What would God find if He searched the deepest corners of your heart? In Psalm 139, David encounters a God who knows everything, is everywhere, holds all power, and will one day judge everyone—and how we respond to that God, with dread or with worship, reveals everything about where we stand with Him.
His Steadfast Love Endures Forever
A God of enduring love who also strikes down kings and armies seems like a contradiction—until Psalm 136 reveals justice as love for the oppressed, worked out patiently across centuries. His steadfast love endures forever, even in judgment. And the same love that spared no patience on Egypt spared no cost at the cross.
Shadow of the Almighty
Psalm 91 promises protection over and over, yet faithful believers have still been speared, stoned, and swept away in storms. The psalm was never a guarantee against earthly suffering—it points past it, to a refuge no spear or grave can reach.
The Reality of our Frailty
Moses asks God to teach us to number our days—not to make us anxious, but because a life that knows how short it is starts to live differently. What would change if today were counted rather than assumed? Psalm 90 asks the hard question, then points toward the mercy that makes the answer good news.
Afflicted But Not Crushed
Even the sons of Korah, who sang "better is one day in your house," ended up writing the saddest prayer in the Bible. If the most faithful can feel forgotten by God, the real question is what you do with that feeling—because the One who feels absent has promised He will never leave us nor forsake us.
More Than Enough!
"I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness." The sons of Korah found radical contentment at the doorstep their father was too proud to stand at. The question this Psalm forces on us is simple: what do you actually crave?
Let the Nations Be Glad!
We crave God's blessings — but they were never meant to be the final goal. Psalm 67 reveals the reason God blesses His people, and it will change how you see everything He's given you.
A Tale of Two Cities
Which city are you actually living in? Psalm 46 draws a sharp contrast between the unstable, crumbling city of this world and the unshakable kingdom of God — and your values and concerns reveal which one has your heart.
Blessed Are The Forgiven
David was a man after God's own heart — and also a man who tried to bury his darkest secret. Join us as we look at Psalm 32 and David's journey from the weight of concealed sin to the freedom found only in confession and grace.
A Distressed Man’s Message To a Distressed People
Life can feel like everything is going right—until suddenly it isn’t. Psalm 34 shows us how to respond when discouragement hits and reminds us to praise, remember, and trust Him even in the middle of our hardest moments.
Envy Almost Cost Me Everything
When life feels unfair and obedience feels pointless, Psalm 73 shows how an eternal perspective shows the certainty of God’s goodness and steadies a faith in crisis.
Fully Devoted Followers: Hannah
Hannah’s journey through sorrow and surrender reveals what it means to follow God with full devotion. When our deepest desires are placed in His hands, He shapes our hearts for His glory.
Fully Devoted Followers: Barnabas
Barnabas may seem like a hidden figure, yet his life is marked by full devotion to Jesus. True devotion isn’t just belief—it’s a life fully given to Jesus.
Fully Devoted Followers: Deborah
What marks the life of someone who is fully devoted to God? Deborah and Barak’s story reveals that devotion is shaped by the voices we listen to, how we trust what God says, and whether our actions reflect that faith.
Full Devoted Followers: Caleb
Caleb stood firm when everyone else gave in to fear. While others focused on obstacles, he trusted God fully and followed Him without hesitation. What would it look like for us to live with that same kind of devotion?
Daniel’s Dangerous Habit (Daniel 6)
Daniel didn’t suddenly become faithful when his life was on the line—he simply did what he had always done. His story reminds us that a fully devoted life isn’t built in a moment of crisis, but over a lifetime of consistent faithfulness to God. What we practice daily is what will carry us when the pressure comes.
Seeking the Living Among the Dead (Luke 23:50-24:12)
The resurrection forces a choice: will we live only by what seems reasonable, or by what God has said is true? The empty tomb reminds us not to let our reasoning keep us from the miracle—that Jesus has conquered death and secured our hope.
The Night the Symbol Became Reality (Luke 22:7-20)
For generations, the Passover stood as a powerful symbol of God’s deliverance—but in Luke 22, that symbol finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. On the night before the cross, Jesus reveals that He is the true Passover Lamb, whose body would be broken and whose blood would be poured out for our salvation. What began as a shadow in the Old Testament becomes reality in Him, offering freedom from sin, deliverance from judgment, and the promise of new life.
Fully Devoted Interview - Jeremy Creason
You might know him as the Fire Chief for the City of Mayfield, but for us, Jeremy Creason is on fire for missions. Watch a clip from our interview with him, as he talks about how he has grown as a Fully Devoted disciple of Jesus by going on mission.
Fully Devoted - Going
A fully devoted follower of Christ lives on mission. Disciples intentionally share the gospel with those who do not yet believe, seeking to make disciples wherever God has placed them. Who has God placed in your life right now that you are intentionally reaching with the gospel?
Fully Devoted Interview - Marlee Wilkerson
A fully devoted follower of Christ gives both resources and time to the work of ministry. For Marlee Wilkerson, she does just that. Hear our interview with her here!
Fully Devoted - Giving
A fully devoted follower of Christ responds to God’s grace with a life of generosity. Disciples give faithfully and cheerfully to support the work of ministry, recognizing that everything we have ultimately comes from God. In what ways are you actively using the resources, time, and gifts God has entrusted to you for His work?
Fully Devoted Interview - Mike Perkins
How does gathering with other believers impact your faith? We caught up with Mike Perkins to hear how his weekly small group has revolutionized his relationship with Christ.
Fully Devoted - Gathering
God designed the Christian life to be lived together. Fully devoted followers of Christ make gathering with other believers a priority, whether in worship or smaller groups. Who are the believers in your life that you are intentionally walking with and growing alongside in faith?
Fully Devoted Interview - Leigh Ann Jarvis
We sat down with Leigh Ann Jarvis to hear how God has been working in her life to grow her faith through consistent time with God in the Word. This interview is part one of our Fully Devoted series.
Fully Devoted - Growing
Spiritual growth doesn’t happen by accident. A fully devoted follower of Christ makes daily time with God a priority—creating space for Scripture and prayer in the rhythm of everyday life. Are you simply gathering information about God, or are you allowing His Word to transform the way you live each day?
2030 Vision
At First Baptist Church, we desire to see 3,000 gospel conversations, 300 disciples trained, 30 gospel workers sent, and 3 churches planted. Listen in to hear the 2030 vision.
Power for Witnessing (Acts 1:1-8)
The Holy Spirit's power isn't for personal gain - it's for witnessing! Jesus made it clear: this divine power is meant to make us His witnesses to the ends of the earth, not to make us richer or more prestigious. Are you using God's power for the right purpose?
The Risk of Playing it Safe (Luke 19:11-27)
Jesus teaches that there is no neutral ground in the Kingdom of God. In Luke 19, some obey, some hide, and some rebel. But all must answer to the returning King. Faithfulness isn’t about success, safety, or results. It’s about obedience while the King is away. Because in the Kingdom, doing nothing is still a decision.
Purposeful Prayer (Luke 18:1-8)
In Luke 18:1–8, Jesus tells the parable of the persistent widow to teach His followers to always pray and not lose heart. He reminds us that prayer is not about wearing God down or bending His will, but about bending our will to His and living in daily communion with Him. This message invites us to examine the substance and rhythm of our prayers—and what they reveal about our faith. Our hope is that you will be both challenged and inspired to pursue a life of faithful, persistent prayer.
A Call to Watchfulness and Grace (Luke 17:1-4)
Temptation is unavoidable—but how we respond matters deeply. In Luke 17:1–4, Jesus exposes the hidden danger of becoming a stumbling block to others and calls his followers to serious self-examination. This sermon explores how sin quietly lures us and how our example shapes those around us. Christ calls his people not just to avoid sin, but to confront it, forgive freely, and lead one another toward restoration and life.
From What If to Even If (Habakkuk 3:17-19)
As we step out of the holidays and into a new year, many of us are weighed down by exhausting “what-ifs”—questions about the future that stir fear and anxiety. In this message, we looked to the prophet Habakkuk and a modern testimony to see how God invites us to replace those what-ifs with “even-ifs”: a settled trust in who God is, even when life feels uncertain. Scripture shows us that fear is rooted not merely in our circumstances, but in what we desire most—and that when God’s glory becomes our greatest desire, fear begins to lose its grip.
Immanuel: God Dwells With His People
In this message, we trace the powerful biblical theme of God’s presence—from Eden, to the new heaven and new earth. Far more than a Christmas phrase, Immanuel reveals God’s relentless desire to dwell with his people. This sermon shows how God moves closer and closer to humanity throughout Scripture and how that truth changes the way we see God, worship him, and live before him today.
Immanuel: The Miracle of Humility (Philippians 2:1-11)
At Christmas we’re surrounded by traditions but rarely do we stop to ask what these familiar symbols really mean. In this sermon, we look past the surface and explore the staggering truth behind one of the most famous Christmas words: Immanuel—God with us. From Isaiah’s prophecy to Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem, from the early church’s struggle to define the incarnation to Paul’s call for Christ-like humility in Philippians 2, we see that “God with us” is not just a phrase but the miracle that changed history. This message invites us to recover the wonder of the incarnation and consider how the humility of Immanuel reshapes the way we live today.
A Tale of Two Men (Luke 16:19-31)
In today’s message, A Tale of Two Men from Luke 16:19-31, we confront a question many of us avoid: Does my life reflect a true belief in heaven and hell? Jesus’ story of the rich man and Lazarus forces us to face the reality of death, judgment, and eternity. This text invites us to examine how the truth of eternity should reshape our priorities, our urgency, and our compassion in this present life.
The Lost and the Rescuer (Luke 15:11-32)
In Luke 15:11–32, the Parable of the Prodigal Son shows how both rebellious sinners and self-righteous religious people can be far from God, yet the Father stands ready to forgive and restore anyone who turns to Him. Jesus calls us to recognize our brokenness, repent, and come home to the One who runs toward us with grace.
When Jesus Demands Everything (Luke 14:25-33)
In Luke 14:25–33, Jesus turns to a massive crowd and gives one of His most unsettling teachings: following Him will cost you everything. In this sermon, we explore what Jesus means when He calls us to “hate” our family, carry our cross, and renounce all we have. Through stories, illustrations, and the words of Jesus Himself, we wrestle with a single piercing question: Does Jesus have all of me?
The Death of Self and the Life of Christ (Luke 14:7–14)
In Luke 14:7–14, Jesus uses two simple parables to expose a deep problem in the human heart that centers on pride and the worship of self. Through these stories, He calls us to a radically different way of life that pushes against our natural flesh. However, what we discover is Christ’s invitation to walk in His ways by displaying the gospel through humility and bringing glory to God by loving others.
Before the Door Closes (Luke 13:22-30)
In Luke 13, someone asks Jesus a haunting question: “Will those who are saved be few?” This question challenges our culture’s assumptions of open access, endless options, and a belief that everyone will somehow find their way to heaven. In this message, we explore Jesus’ response and face a deeply personal question: Am I one of the few?
Between Two Prayers (Luke 12:35-48)
In Luke 12:35-48, Jesus teaches us how to live between two prayers: “Come, Lord Jesus” and “Lord, save the lost.” Through three stories, Jesus calls us to wait with eager anticipation and to serve with diligent obedience. This message wrestles with how we hold both hope for Christ’s return and urgency for the mission before He comes.
