One Nation Under God? A Reflection on a Christian's Responsibility as an American Citizen. Romans 13:1-7
3d ago00:37:54Tap to summarizeOur country is celebrating its 250th anniversary this week on July 4th—an incredible milestone! As Christians, we need to reflect on what it truly means to be a citizen of this nation. Do I consider myself a Christian simply because I reside here? Is this nation a “Christian Nation” just because I live in it? What guidance does the Bible provide about our responsibilities as citizens? While we honor our nation's 250 years of achievements, it's also important to think about what the next 250 years might hold—much of which will depend on faithful Christians living as faithful citizens. Therefore, this Sunday, we will pause our current series to focus on these vital questions.

1w ago00:46:09Tap to summarizeEveryone faces certain struggles in life. We may experience them at varying levels or with greater intensity during specific seasons, but the struggle is universal. Worry and anxiety rank among the most common. Perhaps this is why Jesus included guidance on this issue in His Sermon on the Mount—it's that significant. In this sermon, we'll explore this vital passage to identify key causes of worry and practical solutions.In our sermon series through the Sermon on the Mount, we will see that Jesus was giving a manifesto for how Christians are to live as citizens of heaven, while still being residents of a sinful world. But this is no easy task, and the sermons will challenge us to think differently about obedience. It will challenge us to think deeply about grace and law. And it will challenge us to think soberly about what it means to be a disciple.

There is something to be learned, no matter your age. God is so many different things; He is our creator, our safe place, and love and eternal. But why does it matter that we know these things?

Transcribe →Sermon On The Mount - Matthew 6:19-24
3w ago00:41:13Tap to summarizeWe continue our study of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, where He turns to everyone's favorite subject to discuss in church: money. But as we'll see, Jesus is after something much deeper than our bank accounts. In Matthew 6:19-24, He exposes the connection between our treasures and our hearts, challenging us to consider where our true allegiance lies. His goal isn't to weigh us down with guilt, but to set us free from living for things that cannot last and lead us into the joy of living for the things that do.

Jun 100:51:23Tap to summarizeIn this episode, we will finish the section on hypocrisy by looking at Jesus’ teaching on fasting. Jesus’ previous two examples, giving and prayer, are commonly practiced and understood by most Southern Baptist Christians. But fasting is not as commonly practiced or as well understood. So we will examine what Jesus says about fasting and hypocrisy, and we will also take some time to learn about fasting in general and to answer some of the most commonly asked questions about it. If you have never fasted before or have wondered about this spiritual discipline, you do not want to miss Sunday’s sermon.

Apr 2700:33:55Tap to summarizeWe continue our study of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:33–37, where He speaks about oaths and vows.

Join us as we consider how Jesus calls His followers to a different way.
