Faith Additives

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 29, 2020

An additive is something that's added to something to make it better in some way. People usually don't eat a hamburger plain, they add a condiment to make it taste better. Today we'll look at some things that Peter says we need to add to our faith.

FAITH ADDITIVES 2nd Peter 1:4-11 An additive is something that's added to something to make it better in some way. Food additives. Some additives are not good for us.

Doing Lesser Things

Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 19, 2022

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.

One Goal: To Live Is Christ

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Nov 2, 2025

What is the one thing your heart desires? Paul gives us encouragement this morning not only to make sure that the "One thing" is Jesus, and the spreading of the Gospel, but also to make sure that we don't let the worries of the world pull us away from that one thing. 

Good Morning. Our epistle lesson today began with Paul’s word’s: Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. When the Bible gives you a warning, it is there for a reason. Paul assumes his readers assume that they have ...read more

Location. Location. Location.

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 28, 2015

Each of us is either “in Adam” or “in Christ.” That is why I have called my sermon Location. Location. Location. Where you are – what your location is – makes all the difference in the world, and, more than that, it makes all the difference in eternity.

James Montgomery Boice says that this is “possibly the most difficult [passage] in the Bible.” Great! Right? One thing’s for sure: Paul’s argument in these verses is dense and tight. One commentator begins by defining some of the terms in the text in hopes that that will ...read more

Being A Blessing

Contributed by Tim Smith on Sep 29, 2013

Our call to go in this new direction was not unlike the call of Abraham in our Scripture today. God said, “Go!” Go where? “I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing...

Being a Blessing Genesis 12:1-3 When I arrived here more than six years ago as Pastor, I met with the congregation in small groups, and asked 3 simple questions: “What do you like about the church? What do you want to keep the same? What do you want to change?” Out of those ...read more

I Will..will You?

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Aug 3, 2014

If you will trust and let God lead the way..it's not what can I do..it's What can't you do for the Kingdom? God uses those who make themselves available to Him. He will use you, if you make yourself available to him... It's time to stand up and be counted

Capital Distinction

Contributed by Dr. Amen Howard on Aug 4, 2014

Every time God brings His people together is to make them to become what they have not become before. Every time God calls, He called for a Purpose, the first time God called He said, come let us make man in our image. That was the first time God called a meeting.

God is in the process of making people, So He called another meeting and He said it is not good for man to be alone, He said again let us make a help meet for him. So Every time God calls a meeting, it is to make life comfortable for man. . That is why I am persuaded today that God called you to ...read more

Pentecost: The Arrival Of The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 18, 2021

Look inside today’s story for two items the Spirit does in your life: 1) The Spirit makes you bold ; and 2) He makes your conscience tender to His touch. My hope this morning is simple: I want you and I to hunger for life-changing power the Holy Spirit brings.

This morning I want look at what the Spirit does to transform us. Today, we are looking at a famous account inside the New Testament, called Pentecost. Let me set up our story for those of you who may have missed earlier messages. The miracle of “speaking in tongues” had worked liked shooting a ...read more

The Fork In The Road Series

Time To Engage: "Prioritize To Jesus"

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jan 12, 2025

Making Jesus our priority means that we’re putting Him first on our list. If our priority is Jesus, where we prioritize our lives to Him, then everything else falls into place. And to make Jesus our priority, we need to look to Jesus’s life and see what He prioritized.
