First Baptist Bolingbrook Sermon Podcast

Churches tend to shy away from talking about money. Let's change that. Do you have to be poor to be saved?

Oh, to be a kid again! To view the world with wonder & have complete trust in our Heavenly Father. Scripture tells us that no one is insignificant when it comes to the kingdom of Heaven. 

There's always a lot of conversation from Christians about the sanctity of marriage but they are deafly quiet when it comes to topics like cohabitation, serial polygamy and divorce. In Mark 10:1-12 Jesus not only talks about divorce but also specifically addresses his standard for marriage. 

The Path of Greatness: Mark 9:30-50

In the business and entrepreneurial world there's a notion of failing fast. While most people are afraid to fail, there actually a lot to be learned when we fail. In this message we learn what we learn from Jesus about failure. 

Matthew 28:18-20

This week Minister Thomas Stovall joins us from Lillydale Progressive Baptist Church to teach from Hebrews 12:1-2 where we see that Jesus is our ultimate example in our race for faith. 

At the beginning of Mark 9, Jesus gives the disciples a glimpse of his glory. This glimpse provides them (and us) some anticipation of what is yet to come where we get to spend forever and eternity with God in his full glory.

What do you believe about Jesus? How does it align with what he said about himself? If we're not careful we can invent our thoughts about who Jesus is based on our own thoughts and experiencs.

Some of us often get caught up looking for signs in life. Should I take this job? Should I move to another city? Is this the right person to marry? How do know which signs are right? Which should we follow?

With all the divisions we see in the world today. What is the Gospel & who is the gospel for?

There's a lot of discussions about masks these days. These outward masks may be uncomfortable but some of us wear masks everyday to portray ourselves in one way or another. What masks do you wear? Is one a "Christian" mask?

Seven Signs of Sin: Laziness - Proverbs 24:30-34

Seven Signs of Sin: Lust - Proverbs 23:26-28

Of the many things that we're taught to avoid in the bible one that we don't tend to discuss very much is gluttony. I like burgers, wings and ribs as much as the next man but where is the line between eating to live and living to eat? How do we know when we've fallen into gluttony?

We tend to enjoy stories of revenge & celebrate when we believe justice has been served. This morning we'll discuss what the Bible has to say about vengeance & wrath.

The world seems like it's upside down. I can't tell the difference between reality & satire. The world talks about self-esteem, self-love, self-care, etc but what does the Bible say about pride? This is the focus of our message this morning.

It's so easy to fall into envy & jealousy. We often fall into the trap of not being content with what God has given. What does the Bible have to say about envy? 

Are we truly content with what God provides? Do we feel incomplete until we get ahead and amass more? In this message, we talk about how the sin of greed seeps into our lives and what the Bible prescribes to combat that. 

These days, there’s a lot of talk about the sanctity of marriage but I often wonder what people actually mean by that. The definition of sanctity is: “the state or quality of being holy, sacred, or saintly”. This morning as we continue our series on Living Wisely in a Foolish World we’ll talk about avoiding entanglements and pursue God’s wisdom in marriage.

Proverbs 1:1-7

Proverbs 2:1-22

Sometimes it feels like we’re frogs in a pot that is slowly coming to a boil. Each passing day, we’re inundated with information and people trying to persuade us to pick a side on any and every topic that comes up. Last week we talked about the fact that wisdom comes from the Lord. In today’s message we hear how we must continue in that wisdom so that we are not persuaded by evil people who CLAIM...

With so much going on in the world it helps us to remember how to deal with the storms of life from a biblical perspective.
