First Baptist Church Tyler - Sermons

In this message from  Psalm 139:1-6 , we are reminded of one of the most comforting truths in Scripture:  God knows you completely and loves you fully.  Even among billions of people, God is intimately aware of every detail of your life, from your thoughts and words to your daily decisions and deepest struggles.

In Philippians 2:3-8, Paul challenges believers to take on the mindset of Christ by living lives marked by humility and service.

Success in the Christian life is not about perfection. It is about pursuing Christ with intentionality. Paul reminds us to fix our minds on what is true, honorable, pure, and worthy of praise, then to put those truths into practice. As we discipline our minds and live out our faith, God forms us into the people He created us to be and fills us with His peace. Key verse: Philippians 4:9 Watch the f...

What do you do when you know you’ve messed up? In this message from Psalm 51:7–12, we walk through one of the most honest prayers in Scripture. David doesn’t hide his sin or minimize it. Instead, he brings it fully before God and discovers something powerful: God’s mercy runs deeper than our failure. This sermon explores what it means to be fully known by God, deeply cleansed, and completely resto...

Sin doesn’t just disappear. It builds. In this message from Psalm 51, we look at how unconfessed sin affects the heart and how confession restores what’s been lost.

If you’ve been carrying something you haven’t brought to God, this is your invitation to return. God isn’t waiting t...

Because Jesus is risen, your worst moment is not your final moment. Your deepest sorrow is not your lasting story. And even death itself does not have the last word. Jesus does not simply fix what is broken. He makes all things new. And where you once said, “We had hoped,” you can now say with confidence, “We have hope.” Watch the full video here: https://youtu.be/FAMMxChlGaE

Palm Sunday reminds us that the crowd celebrated… but many still missed Jesus. He came as King, not to take a throne, but to go to a cross. And as He entered the city, He wept. Don’t just be near Him. Know Him. Trust Him. Follow Him. Watch the full video here: https://youtu.be/8osgj94NNtE

When questions surface about God’s love, forgiveness, or purpose, there is one place to return: the cross. Isaiah 53 reveals that the suffering of Jesus was not accidental but intentional. At Calvary, justice and mercy met. Sin was exposed, love was displayed, and redemption was accomplished. One look at the cross anchors the soul and reminds us that the work is finished.

In a world where drift happens quietly and conviction can slowly erode, we need anchors. When our hearts align with what Christ is passionate about, we remain steady. We do not lose heart. We do not serve in our own strength. We lean into Him. This message calls us to realign our lives with the heart of Jesus and to stay anchored to what matters most.

Jesus speaks directly to anxious hearts in Matthew 6. In this message, we are reminded that worry reveals what we trust, and peace grows when we place our confidence fully in Christ.
