Fellowship General Baptist Church

To be authentic in the midst of others can bring about a great movement of God.  When we are sincere and honest with others, God can do a great work in us and through us.

Many today sum up any afflictin or sickness as persecution of faith.  Literally being persecuted because of your faith is a very differnt experience.  Persecution of the early church was far greater than most of us will ever know.  May we know the difference and be ready to stand when the forces around us truly persecute us for our faith in Christ.

Waiting is a lost art in today's world.  We don't want to wait for anything.  Sometimes God wants us to wait on Him.  And, it's in the waiting that God develops our faith in Him.

The people that God will bless and use the most are those who listen to the Spirit and respond with, "yes".  What is the Spirit of God saying to you today?

The message of Easter is one of transformation.  Jesus didn't just die on the cross for our forgiveness, but for our heart to be transformed.  This message starts the series following A.D. on NBC.

What are you doing with the time you've been given?  As disciples of Jesus, the greatest concern we should have is one of 'what we are doing with our time'.

We live in a world where truth is bendable.  Promises are empty.  Words are cheap.  Jesus calls us to be people of integrity and follow through with our promises.  We are the light in a dark and untruthful world.

We are so blessed when we allow God control.  We are blessed when we surrender to one another as well.  The world will see Jesus in us when we do.

We are blessed due to internal matters.  Part of the series Blessed.

When Jesus taught that it is more blessed to give than to receive, He was uncovering the secret to fulfillment.  To be blessed is in direct relation to what is sown.

When Jesus said, "The Kingdom of God is like a pearl...", he was explaining real commitment.  Commitment requires loyalty and perseverance.  And, commitment is indicative of what is on the inside.  What do you value the most in life?

There's a particular story in the New Testament where Jesus sets the record straight between two figures.  It serves as a showcase for the proud and the humble.  Jesus regards honesty and humility higher than proclaimed piety.

How well do you take criticism?  It would do us all some good to listen and consider.  Sometimes, criticism is helpful.  We must not allow pride to get in the way of being helped.

We don't usually like to lose.  All that is within us seems to scream, "Go for it!" and "Win at all cost!".  However, scripture is explicit about losing ourselves to gain eternity.  Jesus taught that humility and losing "self" was key to the kingdom.  Losing can not only usher in the love of God, but can teach us many things about who we are in relationship to God.

Humility is truly the greatest while pride is destructive.  As we submit to the Lord in our living we are open to His leadership.  While we view ourselves as children of God and important to His plan, we must be careful not to raise our view of ourselves too highly.

Kickoff to the series Pride & Humility.  We can be either extreme in our behavior.  We can think of ourselves more highly than we shold or think too low of ourselves as well.  We should seek meekness in all that we do.

This message is based on the book of Haggai and draws parallels between the Israelites of those days to us today.  The prophet's message is clear that we should tend to the highest priority - glorifying God with our lives.

We can tend to drift in our walk with the Lord.  This message examines King Solomon's tendency to drift away from his commitment to God and gives instruction for us to avoid this problem with a set of reference points for our lives.

The Christian life is all about how you live out your faith.  Mary was a prime example of this with her strong faith regardless of cricumstances.  May Christmas be a reminder of great faith when we peer into the storyline about the birth of the Savior.
