First Baptist Church Of Argyle

To intentionally end the life of any image-bearer, including yourself, is a heinous sin against God and others. Even so, we must not elevate suicide to an unforgivable status. We must help the suicidal and those grieving the loss of someone find the light of the hope of Jesus Christ.

The root of all addiction is the pursuit of pleasure of relief. However, all addictive behaviors provide a temporary high that only creates a greater dependency on something g that cannot satisfy us.

Despite the feelings of emptiness and sadness that often accompany depression, God offers guidance, stability, and hope through the real and practical presence of His Spirit.

Anxiety is a common component of life. The root of anxiety is fear or a lack of trust in God above all else. God has graciously equipped us with invaluable tools to battle against anxiety.

We can have hope that our battle for mental health does not hinge solely on our own efforts because we have been made brothers and sisters of the Wonderful Counselor and been given the permanent presence of the Great Comforter.

Biblical authenticity requires that disciples make themselves known to other believers for mutual encouragement and correction.

Biblical authenticity requires Spirit-empowered changes that turn your heart and life away from yourself and toward God so that you might experience salvation and life in being continually conformed to the image of Jesus Christ.

Biblical authenticity requires that we align with God's standards for faith and practice through confession -- the acknowledgment of and agreement with His truths.

Biblical Authenticity requires us to understand our identity in Christ while also fighting against our old nature through the practice of measuring ourselves against the Word of God.

In blessing God, we celebrate his goodness, kindness, and faithfulness by diligently redeeming our work for His glory and responding in reverent, Spirit-filled acts of worship.

Life is hard sometimes. The world is seemingly filled with reasons to abandon the expectation that there is anything or anyone worth trusting in through all circumstances. However, you can have hope because the God who made you hears you, forgives you, speaks to you, and redeems you.

Only that which God blesses lasts. Everything in our lives will rise and fall according to the will of God. As we build our lives, we must pay attention to who and what we are building for.

Times of difficulty come to us all. The Psalmist demonstrates how we can deal with that inevitable state: Remembrance of God's goodness and provision, earnest prayer, and perseverance through the tears.

The key to experiencing blessing and victory is to remember several key teachings found in Psalm 123 and 124. When we remember that God sovereignly rules, graciously instructs, purposefully humbles, fiercely fights, miraculously rescues, and faithfully sustains then we will understand what genuine triumph is, how to consistently know it, and how to intentionally invite others to experience it.

Disciples delight in God's presence daily in community with other disciples.

Our God is all-powerful, ever-present, faithful, and kind. No one and nothing can compare to him as a source of help and security.

Jesus offers us and calls us to rest in Him.

Everything that sets disciples apart from the rest of the world is founded on what Christ has done for and in us.

The comforts and successes of this live do not determine what happens in the next. Each person's eternal destination is determined by one thing -- their relationship with Jesus Christ. Your ONE's default destination is an eternity of suffering in Hell, and you have the only truth that can change that.

Every one matters. It only takes one person to make an eternal difference.
