    Above all, being a Christian requires us to make discipleship our highest priority.

    I must confess that not too many billboards catch my attention enough to want to read them. However, one finally did capture it and greatly warmed my heart. It was a recruiting poster for the Marine Corps. On the plaqured, it simply said, “We don’t take applications, only ...read more

    Doing Lesser Things

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 19, 2022
     | 1,317 views

    When we are at work, we know what is important and what not. Sometimes we make a list and set it up in priority. We typically don't do the least important things first. God has a list for us. We need to make sure we are doing the important things.

    If we could say that a certain group or part of the membership of Fundamental Baptist Church is carrying on the work that Jesus called us to do, it would have to be this group. The Wednesday night crowd many times come to church when they have worked all day long. You are tired. You are worn out. ...read more

    I looked up every reference I could find that used the words “commit”, “committed”, & “commitment” and I was surprised at what I DID’T find. I never found the Bible teaching that we should put our family first! Why?

    OPEN: Author and speaker Zig Ziggler loved golf and once took his son with him out to the golf course. His son was still relatively new to the game, so Zig was very impressed by his son’s performance on one of the par 4 holes.

    Do Jesus's family values match ours?

    We often talk about the Church being a Family - which sounds all sweet and fluffy … until we read a passage like today’s Gospel. Given a choice between those who share his genes and those who share his faith, Jesus says “Here [point to congregation] are my mother, my sisters, my ...read more

    All churches are delighted to have visitors. Why do visitors excite them? Probably because they are hoping the visitors will become regulars and be used of God to enhance His work in a tremendous way.

    All over this country today God is leading CERTAIN PEOPLE to CERTAIN CHURCHES because they can make valuable contributions to these churches. As God leads people to join the church, we need to ask, “WHAT SHOULD THEY BE LOOKING FOR WHEN THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A CHURCH TO JOIN?” Many have their own ...read more

    Jesus And Giving Series

     | 2,865 views

    Today we will turn to examine what Jesus had to say about giving. And we will ask what giving looked like to Jesus. The passage in Luke 14:15-33 is considered one of the "Hard Sayings of Jesus". And indeed, it takes a bit of explanation to make sense of it.

    Jesus and Giving Text: Luke 14:15-33 Luke 14:25-33 (NIV) 25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my ...read more

    Our own needs, wants and desires often gets in the way of what God calls us to do.

    Just a reminder, as we look at the renovation of God’s house, we must also look at the renovation or the revitalization of our hearts. A greatly improved structure in which we meet will be of no use if our hearts are not in tuned with One Who calls us. Today’s message is “Getting Sidetracked” We ...read more

    We all have excuses for not responding to Jesus' call to follow him. Life is hectic, complicated and filled with items that claim our attention. We have one reason, though, to respond to Jesus' challenge--his love and grace.

    Luke 9:51-62 “Excuses” INTRODUCTION One of the most memorable illustrations that I’ve ever seen involved a glass container similar to what I have here and rocks of various sizes. Using the rocks the demonstrator underscored and important lesson in life. Just when we thought ...read more
