Fellowship General Baptist Church

Senior Pastor Byron Beck talks about becoming a part of the team - the kingdom of God.  To whom or what is our loyalty?  Many claim to be on the team, but still have loyalties with another team.  Being fully integrated into God's kingdom takes time.  And, we must be committed to devoting our lives to Him and grow in our spiritual lives to become the loyalists that He calls us to be.

Senior Pastor Byron Beck delivers a message pointing to our church vision for 2009 - bringing up there down here.  In order to accomplish what God wants to do with us, we must work on meeting our goals in the future.  To meet those future goals, we must change how we are now. 

Senior Pastor Byron Beck begins a series based on Fellowship's 2009 vision - Kingdom Pursuit, bringing up there down here.  He ignites this theme with a sermon about understanding what it takes to truly abide in Christ and do His will.  Largely rooted in the Lord's Prayer which states "thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven," this message challenges listeners to look beyond themselves and create a world that mimics His kingdom by loving, giving and serving those around us.

Senior Pastor Byron Beck speaks about how we build unity and community through our difficult experiences together.  The world needs to see our unity in Christ.  We should look upon our life in Christ as a daily adventure to be made more like Him.

Senior Pastor Byron Beck encourages us to conspire a bit this Christmas.  Instead of doing the usual that consists of being overwhelmed with consumerism and gifts, do things a little differently - serve.  Instead of our love being shown through items, it can be shown with more effectiveness through our service to one another.  Largely based around the Advent Conspiracy movement. www.adventconspiracy.org

Senior Pastor Byron Beck speaks about how Jesus taught and exemplified how to love people outside our comfort zone.  As humans, we naturally gravitate to others that are like us.  We, in turn, love and minister to those that we are comfortable with most.  Jesus challenges us to go outside of this norm and love those outside the circle.

Senior Pastor Byron Beck speaks about how we are lured into sinning with what seems to be okay at first.  The term Euphemism is used to describe how we sometimes think of some sinful activity in milder or less problematic terms.  Satan uses this method to tempt us into sinful patterns when, in reality, the pattern will lead to destruction and death.

Senior Pastor Byron Beck speaks about how we respond to our world when we are sinned against.  Although it might seem fair to respond with justice, we could show mercy or, better yet, grace and exemplify Christ to those around us.  After all, it was grace that was given to all as Jesus died on the cross.

Senior Pastor Byron Beck asks an intriguing question - What Would Jesus Vote?  The sermon takes an interesting look at what the Bible indicates our role is regarding support and participation in our government.  In conclusion, we are reminded that no matter who takes the throne in Washington, Jesus is still Lord of all.

Senior Pastor Byron Beck presents a probing sermon on what we really pray about.  When we approach God in our prayer time, do we only ask for our own wants and needs?  Are we praying to change God or ourselves?  Are we asking the right questions and yearning for the right help?  Praying to our God is all about being unselfish and wanting to take on His will, not our own.

Senior Pastor Byron Beck speaks about changing our perception of how prayer should be - re-imaging this powerful tool.  Our Father wants to hear from our hearts not a fake attempt to show off by using King James words.  Prayer should be simple, personal and honest.

Senior Pastor Byron Beck challenges listeners to get a fire in the belly about Christ.  Prayer is at the center of gaining a passion and keeping a passion for the Lord.  The question is posed, "when was the last time you shed tears while talking to God?".  And, in reference to the church, when there's no fire in the furnace, the house is cold.  This is the first in a powerful series on prayer.Visit us on the web today!fellowshipgbchurch.com

Senior Pastor Byron Beck speaks about the awesome sacrifice made by Jesus.  We are given a gift, but this gift is many times refused or thrown back.  There is a world full of people whom Jesus died for yet, so many of these same people do not regard the event as relevant or even real.  The gospel is put into context so simple that anyone can understand and be radically changed in this sermon of grace, selflessness and salvation.
