First Baptist Church Gulf Breeze

For all of eternity the words “Holy, Holy, Holy” are echoed in the throne room of God. The apostle John was given a glimpse of this very scene. The words continue with “The God who was, and is, and is to come”. The holiness of God is continually repeated forever and ever and ever. 

“Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty”. For the past several weeks we have been focusing on the holiness of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.  This week we looked at holiness through the eyes of the seraphim.  How exactly do the angels see God?  The prophet Isaiah was given a glimpse into the actual throne room of God. Over and over the seraphim were repeating the holiness of God.

Jesus is the only person in history that was uniquely two things at one time. Today, Pastor Kevin Tillman tells us that Jesus was fully God and fully man. Said another way, he was fully holy and fully human. The humanity of Jesus is something we often preach on and relate to. We love that Jesus was tempted in every way just like we are. Jesus had emotions, hurts, suffering, and everything else tha...

Join us as Pastor Brent Allen of FBC Gulf Breeze teaches us today that the Holy Spirit is holy. Seems like an obvious statement right? The word “holy” is built right into the description. Every believer in Jesus Christ receives the gift of this Holy Spirit. We receive this guarantee of a future with Him for eternity. But, the Holy Spirit is more than just a guarantee. He is also a companion. He is...

Pastor Bob Murphy of FBC Gulf Breeze teaches today that there is no one Holy like God. Yet, He has called us to “be Holy”. God wouldn’t ask us to do something that wasn’t possible. We are to live Holy lives. However, it seems to be such a difficult proposition in such an unholy world. As believers in Jesus, how can we live out the lives we are commanded and called to live? How can we live Holy?

“Be Holy”. That's the message today from Pastor Brent Allen of FBC Gulf Breeze. God gives us this instruction from His word. We are to be Holy. Holiness effects every part of our lives. God is Holy, and He wants us to not only recognize His holiness, but also be Holy ourselves.

A fork in the road is a place of decision. Two choices, two paths, a decision has to be made. At some point, we all come to a fork in the road. God doesn’t force us to make a decision one way or the other. The “yes” or the “no” is up to us. So, when you come to this fork, what do you choose?

Pastor Jeff Spooneybarger of FBC Gulf Breeze continues his message “Root and Fruit” this week. Everyone desires the fruit of the Christian life. After all, that is the most visible part of the tree. That is the purpose of the tree. However, without roots, there is no fruit. We continued looking at those essential roots this week. What roots are necessary in the Christian life? What must be done to...

What does the church want from me? That’s a great question. Our desire is for each person to fulfill their God-given purpose. In Christian lingo we call this “bearing fruit”. The goal is being fruitful. But, there is a process. The root is crucial to the fruit. Without a solid root system, the fruit will not happen. This is not just an agriculture reality, this is the truth of our lives. If you wa...

God says no. God says yes. When God says no to one thing, it is to say yes to something else. Pastor Jeff Spooneybarger of FBC Gulf Breeze lets us know today that when God says yes to something it requires a no somewhere else. Every yes has a no, and every no has a yes. The Bible is full of promises from God. When He says it, it’s a done deal. His yes is always a yes, and his no is always a no. Th...

Have you ever heard the phrase, "Let your yes be yes and your no be no."? Today at FBC Gulf Breeze, Pastor Jeff Spooneybarger talks to us more about Boundaries and why they are important.

The purpose of Jesus in someone's life is freedom. Pastor Jeff Spooneybarger shows us how some could see how boundaries on the surface seem to be contrary to freedom. By our human thinking, freedom comes when all boundaries are removed. But, just the opposite is true. Boundaries bring clarity. As upside-down as it sounds, the path to true freedom is having definitive boundaries.

Who are you responsible for? Who are you responsible to? Boundaries are protection. They set clearly defined limits and expectations. Without boundaries, we are susceptible to being taken advantage of. Do you find yourself always doing for others? Has this brought you to a frazzled state? Has your helping actually led to your own demise? Boundaries are the answer. Pastor Jeff Spooneybarger of FBC...

When you hear the phrase, "The Seven Year Itch", what comes to mind? Pastor Jeff Spooneybarger brings his message this Sunday concerning the need for and the command to "rest". Join us today as we study the topic of the sabbatical out of Leviticus and Deuteronomy.

Death. It’s the biggest fear and challenge we face. Death is the ultimate end. Death is final. Or is it? What if there is no end? What if it doesn’t have to be final? How would if affect every part of our life and our attitude if we didn’t have the fear of death? The great news is: Death is Dead! Jesus paid a once-and-for-all price. He then, rose from the dead and conquered it once-and-for-all. De...

Pastor Jeff Spooneybarger takes a look of Jesus while He was on the cross. Jesus spoke 7 different phrases and this week, as we start the Holy Week, we took a brief overview of these statements.

Pastor Jeff Spooneybarger of FBC Gulf Breeze brings us today's message entitled, "God is Not Fair". Do you ever think God isn't fair? Maybe you think He blesses someone else more than you? Or you think He shows favor to someone else and not you. Pastor Jeff takes this head on this morning.

When you see God it changes everything.  It is an experience that is unshakeable.  A proper view of God gives us an appropriate view of ourselves.  So, do you want to see God?  On the surface that’s an easy answer, but when we really see God, it really does change things.  So, do you want to see God?  Are you ready for what God reveals?  Ready for where God directs?  Do you want to see God? Join u...

Have you ever "wrestled" with God? Jacob did and it changed everything. "When God Breaks Your Leg" is Pastor Jeff Spooneybarger's message this week from FBC Gulf Breeze. 

God loves you!  That’s the message of the Bible.  That’s the main message you hear from pulpits today.  And, it’s the right message.  After all, God is a God of love.  God does love His creation.  God does desire relationship with His people, and for all to be saved.  But, is that the end of the story?  Does love mean complete acceptance?  Does love give us a license to live however we desire?  Is...

What are your issues? Are they with God? Or are they with yourself? Pastor Jeff Spooneybarger talks today about the Perfect Church that Wasn't.

With current events happening around the nation dealing with abortion, Dr. William Lile of Sacred Heart Hospital joins us today to discuss this very timely message.
