First Baptist Church Wimberley Sermons

[[:encoded, "Today we will see the scarlet thread of God's promise threaded through the needle of faith."]]

[[:encoded, "Dr. Richard Cheatham gives us a fascinating portrayal of God's covenant with Noah, and the promise of rescue contained within."]]

[[:encoded, "There's a scarlet thread that runs through scripture. A thread of redemption and hope. From the dawn of creation to the return of Jesus the story of the saving God unfolds. Welcome to the series, \"See the Promises of God.\""]]

[[:encoded, "How is a life built by God? How do you find your true self in Jesus? How do you make and commit to living a life all for Jesus? In this last talk on \"See the Real You\" you will be challenged to see into your future. And you will be challenged to commit or recommit to live all for Jesus."]]

[[:encoded, "God wants us to live in victory. That happens when we discover how to stand firm in the Lord. God never enters into the debate about the existence of evil. He knows all about evil. The very evidence of evil is the very clear explanation for the existence of God. We know evil because we know good. God is good!"]]

[[:encoded, "The greatest mystery since the fall of man is the relationship between men and women. Some have labeled this mystery the battle of the sexes. I refuse to call it a battle, but an opportunity. Because God intentionally made men and women different, we have an opportunity to become more understanding, more loving, and more selfless."]]

[[:encoded, "The good news is that we are to partake in the bliss of God. The bad news is that we can't do it on our own. The best news is that Jesus died and rose again too indwell us and give us the good life. It's about intentionally living in the blessings of God. To help us to do that, we have three models to follow: The model of purity, the model of wisdom, and the model of submission."]]

[[:encoded, "Is following Jesus a religion? Do I need to do more, give up more, or know more to be acceptable by God? If believing in Jesus is enough to be right with God....how do I know that I have believed enough? Is becoming like Jesus about being sanitized or sanctified? What is the difference? What does Jesus set me free from?\nThe renewed life found in Jesus is not just rule keeping, although there are rules to keep, it is about living in freedom...being transformed to a new you for a new life."]]

[[:encoded, "Relationships make life rich! They also make life complicated. Most of the joys and challenges in life are driven by relationships. Today we're looking at some practical guidance from Ephesians on cultivating them."]]

[[:encoded, "The purpose of a map is to provide direction or information. Fixed points are necessary. The same is with life. Today we will look at the purpose of life. Discovering your purpose requires a fixed point. The author of Hebrews said it this way: \"Let us run with endurance the race God has before us. We do this by keeping (or fixing) our eyes on Jesus, the champion, who initiates and perfects our faith\" Hebrews 12:1b-2."]]

[[:encoded, "God loves you the way you are but he loves you too much to leave you there. In this message we take a deep look at the life change God is doing in, for, and through you. We challenge you to take the steps necessary for God's intended life change to show up in you. Here we go: Changed lives, all for Jesus!"]]

[[:encoded, "We are starting the year in the book of Ephesians. Today we look at seeing yourself as Jesus sees you. We often think that Jesus just sees the junk in our lives. But Jesus actually looks on us with love, hope, and promise."]]

[[:encoded, "We want some things to change, but it takes work and planning. We also have to stop for a moment and evaluate the past. So if you're ready to experience a life of joy in 2020, give this message a listen."]]

[[:encoded, "There is nothing more exciting and contagious than good news. This is the best news: Jesus Christ is born!"]]

[[:encoded, "It's unusual to hear a sermon about Joseph during the Christmas season. But when you do, you understand that Joseph was a risk-taker. He knew that obeying God was more important than anything. Rather than being risk averse, he was God aware. Can the same be said of us?"]]

[[:encoded, "Join FBC Wimberley music ministry and pastor Scott Weatherford as they present this retelling of the the story of the ages, when Jesus, the King of kings, came to this earth in human form to bring hope to all mankind."]]

[[:encoded, "The hinge of history hangs on a stable in Bethlehem. The birth of Jesus was foretold and that foretelling defines His reality. In the fullness of time all the longings of the human heart were satisfied by a baby born, a Savior revealed, a vicarious death, and a glorious resurrection, that you might know the mystery of Christmas."]]

[[:encoded, "The series we're in - More of Us - leads us deeper into a life that honors God. Listen to this message and learn what it means to live in the freedom that is powered by the presence and promises of God."]]

[[:encoded, "Our brokenness can either define us OR refine us. The outcome depends on your response to Jesus. Do I want forgiveness of my sins, forgiveness from the sins I have inherited, and forgiveness for being sinned against? Listen as Pastor Scott goes into detail on the topic of generation sin, based on Exodus 20"]]

[[:encoded, "We can experience true freedom in Christ. Listen to this first message in our new series and gain insights into one of the most revered passages of Scripture on the subject of forgiveness - 1 John 1:9."]]
