This is a verse by verse study through the book of Galatians. The major theme is not to allow false teaching to divert us from the true gospel. There are many false teachers out there, wrapped in television, wealth, fake smiles, and even plain packaging, but their deviant theology and teaching are to be ignored. The falsehoods can only truly be recognized when we are steeped in the truth of God's...

Peter's sermon at Pentecost contains volumes of learning for the Christian.

Racism is a sad and sinful reality. In the Southern Baptist Convention, racism is also a sad history. However, steps have been taken through the years to both atone for past racism and remove current racism from our midst. There's still work to do, and there is a Biblical mandate to do so.

As the disciples of Jesus waited, as the were told to, for the Holy Spirit, they were not idle. They came together in unity, they prayed, they searched the scriptures, and they prepared for whatever might be coming next. The command to wait on God is rarely a command to do nothing. Michael Linton, Pastor FBC Sulphur, LA

This is the first message of our series through the book of Acts.

This is our final message from the series "Jesus' Church," and it wraps up our look at "The Prayer" in John 17. In this portion of scripture, Jesus prays for His church - believers today. Here, we see an earthly prayer, a heavenly prayer, and an eternal vow from Jesus. Michael Linton, Pastor FBC Sulphur, LA

Jesus prayed for three different aspects of his disciples' (our) relationships in this passage: our relationship to God, our relationship to other believers, and our relationship to unbelievers. All must be worked on and active. These relationships are what power a church that is Living Called Out. Michael Linton, Pastor FBC Sulphur, LA

In John 17, Jesus prayed for three different people or groups: Himself, His disciples, and His church. However, as we see in this message, even when Jesus prayed for Himself, He still prayed for His church. Michael Linton, Pastor FBC Sulphur, LA

Does God forget our sins? Does God forget anything? Good questions. Michael Linton, Pastor FBC Sulphur, LA

There's one unifying factor in the church, one answer to the question of what is the obedience that Jesus requires: love. Even when we aren't sure what our response or action should be in a certain situation, we can always safely answer with love. Michael Linton, Pastor FBC Sulphur, LA

What else does the church look like? Many branches, attached to Jesus the Vine, with God the Vinedresser tending and pruning. This is both painful and rewarding, and it will move the church into a position where she can be most effective at Living Called Out. Michael Linton, Pastor FBC Sulphur, LA

This series through Jonah talks specifically about how today's churches act a lot like Jonah in our attempts at outreach, and our responses mirror his toward people that we deem 'undesirable' for our church. The doors must be open and the Gospel must be preached. Michael Linton, Pastor FBC Sulphur, LA
