Pawhuska First Podcast

Pastor Justin shares about the 2023 Southern Baptist Convention in New Orleans. He talks about the health of the SBC, the Cooperative Program of the SBC, some concerns with some of our SBC entities, and the sets the record straight on the stand the SBC has taken in regards to scriptural authority (especially concerning the New Testament Church office of pastor).

For far too long, men have been under attack by our spiritual enemy. The effects have been catastrophic to families, neighborhoods, churches, cities, states, and nations. It's time we wake up, man up, and stand up for biblical manhood and commit to being Mighty Men of God.=!

Many today are walking away from faith in God, but what is the substance of their faith? Why are people "abandoning faith" in God or turning to different, false ideologies of faith in God? This message looks at one of those reasons and challenges us to examine our lives and examine our faith to make sure that Jesus is the author and perfecter of our faith.

Truth seems to be on shaky ground in our culture, but in reality Truth is rock solid and found in Jesus! In our series through Acts we continue to see Truth change lives. In this message we explore the events immediately after Saul's conversion and see how truth brings illumination to who Jesus is and exposes darkness in the hearts of people.

We all face adversity in our lives. Far more often than not, adversity is a blessing in our lives that provides for us opportunities to grow in ways we can't without it. If we are to grow through adversity there is a unique path we must take. This message explores the what we can learn from Saul's conversion story in how to have victory in adversity.

Because Christ followers are in this world but not supposed to be of this world, we are required to learn and grow in Kingdom Awareness. This message from our series through Acts looks at the example of Philip in order to learn how we can grow in being apart of the Kingdom of God on this earth.

We are more often than not creatures of comfort. If we are going to grow as a person and in our walk with Jesus, we have to get uncomfortable and dependent upon God. It is usually during difficult trials that we grow the most. This message explores this truth in the early church.

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Imitation of Jesus is the greatest form of obedience, devotion, and love. As we explore the text about Stephen, it is important for us to see his devotion to and imitation of Christ. As a reward, he received the greatest joy: a look at the One for whom he is living for, standing at the right hand of God in approval of Stephen's faithfulness, no matter wh...

As the early church grew, so did opportunities for attack and division. Today, many churches still face the same underlying spiritual attacks. the solutions is to devote ourselves to the Word and serving one another.

The forces of the world are certainly in opposition to the Gospel of Jesus. As Christians, we are part of an unstoppable kingdom but a worldly mindset in a Christian believer will keep us from realizing the true Gospel power of the Spirit of God that is within us. This message explores these dynamics.

Many people say they believe in Jesus, but do they believe in the one and only Jesus? Many people say they live in the Gospel, but there's only one Gospel. In order to live out lives as genuine Jesus followers, we must make sure that we live out the one true Gospel as we follow the one true Jesus.

In the face of pressure to compartmentalize our faith, the Church, now more than ever, needs to be bold as we prioritize the Gospel and living out our convictions as a Gospel-driven Kingdom people.

As the Church lives in Christ and is guided by the Holy Spirit, we will live by a good vs evil standard rather than a better vs worse mentality. When this happens conflict with worldly powers will arise. It is important for the Church to conduct ourselves in a manner that is worthy of Jesus and maintain devotion to Him and to His Gospel during these times.

To be a Kingdom people, we must live under Kingdom Conviction. We are motivated and driven by the message of the Kingdom and the calling of our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ. His heart must become our heart!

As God's Kingdom people, we don't live like the rest of the world. Our gathering of people should also be different than the rest of the world. A genuine people of God are a Kingdom people who live by Kingdom principles.

As Christians, we have a charge to the world around us. We have a duty and a motivation to advance the Kingdom. There are a lot of noble things, but the primary thing that is paramount is the Gospel!

As Christians, our influence is not found in ourselves, but in the Holy Spirit influencing us and then others around us. When we are not sure what to say or unsure if we are able to speak with meaning, the Holy Spirit empowers us to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus and bring others to truth and hope.

As Jesus concludes his earthly ministry, he didn't depart until he had established the mission for His Kingdom moving forward. As we begin a series looking at what happens when Kingdom Collide, we see the mission of Jesus defined for us. There are orders handed down, a call to focus on the right kingdom, and a reminder that there is no time to waste!

Join us Sunday, April 28th at 9:30AM as we celebrate God's Kingdom work through Pawhuska First Baptist Church over the last 125 years!
