    "am I Truly Jesus Focused"

    Contributed by Brad King on Dec 28, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,277 views

    It is easy to assert that it is all about Jesus. Sometimes we believe that our focus is sincerely upon the person and work of Christ. But, is it? John the Baptist was Jesus focused, but when are we? Matthew 3:1-17 provides five moments when we are Jesus focused.

    1. We are focusing on Jesus when we call people to repentance. Mt. 3:1-2; Mt. 4:17 2. We are focusing on Jesus when we clarify his identity. Mt. 3:3; Is. 40:3; Mt. 16:13 3. We are focusing on Jesus when we complete our God given tasks. Mt. 3:4-6 4. We are focusing on Jesus when we ...read more

    Doing Lesser Things

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 19, 2022
     | 1,336 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

    We are consumed by everything but God. God is not a priority. However, after we put things in perspective, maybe we can choose God over our personal agendas.
