Read Psalm 91:9-13 The author of this Psalm makes an "if-then" promise. What does that mean? If we focus our hope on God, instead of ourselves, what can we expect as a result? Does this Psalm mean that we will not encounter pain or trouble?

Read Deuteronomy 8:1-5When you have something you have to remember, what do you do? Post-it's, notes, repetition, calendar, etc...? Scripture contains our instructions for life. How can we be certain we retain what God teaches us in His word?

Read 1 John 3:16-20 Have you ever heard the expession, "actions speak louder than words?" Imagine if I told my wife that I loved her every day but refused to ever demonstrate it through my actions. Do you think she would feel loved? John encourages us to demonstrate our love in actions and in truth. How can you demonstrate love in this way to someone you come into contact with today? Be specific.

Read 1 John 3:13-15 Does the world hate you? I once heard someone ask this question: If you were put on trial for being a Christian would there be enough evidence to convict you? What they were getting at is whether or not you live out your faith. Chances are, if you live out your faith you will encounter the hatred of the world? Why does John use love-hate language to describe our relationship

Read 1 Corinthians 13:13There are a number of meanings and applications of the word "love" in the English language. I love a big juicy hamburger, but not in the same way that I love my wife. As you read from 1 Corinthians 13 what kind of love does Paul describe? Why is this love so important?

Read Isaiah 6:8-10Isaiah's response to God's question of who will go is, "Send me!" Are you willing to be sent to your neighbors house? to school? What restrictions have you put on where and when God can send you?

Read Revelation 5:1-5Only Jesus can conquer sin. How does that make you feel? Does this fill you with joy...confidence...what?

Read Isaiah 6:6-7How do you deal with feelings of guilt? Take some time and be honest with God. He knows everything you are hiding from Him and it is the guilt and sin that keep you from drawing closer to Him. How do you think God responds to our guilt and confessions? Read 1 John 1:9

Read Revelation 1:9-20How does the vision of John compare to that of Isaiah? Do you ever find yourself comparing your experiences with the experiences of others? Is this helpful?

Read Isaiah 6:1-5Have you ever woken up from a wierd dream and can't remember what it was about? Clearly, Isaiah had a vision that was clear and left an impression. Have you ever had a dream that affected you in a lasting way?

Read Exodus 3:7-12God knows all about your struggles...and cares about them. How does this passage give you hope? We often feel like we can't do a specific task God has given to us. How does God respond to Moses' objection of "Who am I?"

Read Exodus 3:4-6Have you ever met someone important or famous? Was it an intimidating experience? Clearly Moses was afraid when God spoke to him. Why do you think that is?

We are heading to Rupp Arena in Lexington, KY to attend Winter Jam '09 on March 7! The concert features Hawk Nelson, Toby Mac, Newsong, and more! Cost is only $10 for this concert. A recent change has been made. Instead of meeting at the church at 3:00 we will instead meet at the church at 2:00. The show ends @ 9:20. Seating is first come first serve so we want to secure some good seats!

Read Exodus 3:1-3God used some unusual circumstances to get Moses' attention. I am sure Moses did a double take when seeing a bush that was burning...but not. Have you ever felt that God was trying to get your attention through an unusual event?

What an awesome weekend at "Survive". We had 20 youth attend the conference, some of which are not presently involved in church anywhere. My hope is that they will find FBC is a great place to plug in and learn more about Christ.There were over 9,000 youth in attendance and during the outreach experience they collected over 25 tons of food for Sunshine Ministries in St. Louis.Our group partnered

It's pretty obvious that baptism is a pretty big deal for Baptists.Baptism in the early church was done by immersion. In the New Testament, the word for "baptize" literally means "to immerse." Somewhere along the lines of church history, the Catholic church dominated Christendom, and the Catholics believed in infant baptism. In the 1500s when people began to resist the Catholic church in the

I know the last post was a long one, but I was meditating on Ephesians 4, and decided to simplify it all."Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love."
