First Baptist Church Wimberley

Send us Fan Mail It's the beginning of a new series at FBC Wimberley called Membership Matters. Committing to a local church is God's idea. And in this first message of the series Pastor Aaron talks about why it's important to be a part of the family, and that church membership 1) matters to God, 2) matters to your pastors, and 3) should matter to you.

Send us Fan Mail The parable of the hidden treasure which teaches us that everything this world deems worthwhile is worthless compared to the surpassing value of knowing Christ and being part of His kingdom is the theme of this last message of 2023.

Send us Fan Mail Our subject is JOY. We will see the joy of Mary's song, but also acknowledge that Jesus is the One who brings ultimate joy to all of us! Mary exhibited ultimate joy (v. 47), experienced undeserved mercy (vs. 48-50), enjoyed victorious freedom (vs. 51-54), and received eternal blessing (v. 55). All of these things led Mary to worship her Savior. And may they do the same for us...

Send us Fan Mail Jesus is the LOVE of Christmas. Pastor Aaron, teaching from Matthew 1, walks us through how to respond to this great truth. 1. RECEIVE Christ, who came to save us from our sins (v. 21), 2. TRUST Christ, who proves that God keeps all His promises (v. 22), and 3. SHARE Christ, who is Immanuel, God with us, forever (v. 23).

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Advent Season 2023! Pastor Aaron's first message in our Christmas series has to do with hope. Three themes emerge from Luke 1:26 -38. 1. Mary "found favor" or received GRACE (v. 30) 2. Mary receiving God's grace led to her HOPE (v. 33) 3. Mary's hope led to her OBEDIENCE (v. 38)

Send us Fan Mail Psalm 67 is a prayer that the mission of God would be fulfilled. Four aspects of that prayer are that God desires 1) To be KNOWN among the nations, 2) PRAISED among the nations, 3) REJOICED IN by the nations, and 4) FEARED among the nations. Pastor Aaron discusses these four aspects and then challenges us by asking what we as individuals and families are doing to be a part of God&...

Send us Fan Mail In Acts chapter 1 we see five ways the mission of Jesus continues after his ascension. The mission continues 1) because of the PROOF of the resurrection, 2) through the POWER of the Holy Spirit, 3) with the PURPOSE of the kingdom, 4) by and for the PEOPLE of the kingdom, and 5) until the PROMISE is fulfilled. Are you allowing the mission of Jesus to continue in your own life?

Send us Fan Mail There are a lot of things we don't remember from week to week, such as to rotate our tires or to change out our air conditioner filters. But we really should remember the important things in our life of discipleship, such as the Great Commission from Matthew 28:19-20. Remember the fact that God SAVED you to SEND you. And when we go and make disciples remember that Jesus gives...

Send us Fan Mail Here's a message about the extravagance and splendor of God's love as expressed in Romans chapter 5, particularly in verse 8 where it says that "God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Pastor Sean shows how the present tense of one particular verb of this verse is crucial to understanding its full signific...

Send us Fan Mail Join Pastor Aaron as he teaches us to see the posture of worship, consider Paul's 4-part prayer, and remember the power of God. The four parts to Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3:14-21 are 1) That they would be strengthened with God’s power, 2) That Christ may dwell in their hearts, 3) That they would know the bigness of Christ’s love, and 4) That they would be filled with t...

Send us Fan Mail In Ephesians 3:1-13 we see a mystery revealed, a ministry displayed, and a mission obeyed. At the end, Pastor Aaron asks "what is one specific way you can take a small step of obedience to make the mission of Jesus front and center in your life this week?"

Send us Fan Mail In this message Pastor Aaron talks about the progression believers make from their old life to their new life. He compares the progression to how a country song works when it tells a good story. VERSE 1 of the "song" is about our old life, while VERSE 2 speaks to the how Christ rescues us. And finally, VERSE 3 of the "country song" celebrates our new identity i...

Send us Fan Mail What is work where you can immediately see the fruit of your labor? One example is mowing your lawn. But salvation is NOT like this. It's not based on OUR labor. Rather, salvation is ALL the work of Christ! In thinking about our salvation, we must 1) REFUSE to believe that you had anything to do with your salvation, 2) REMEMBER your new identity is a result of the work of God...

Send us Fan Mail In this message Pastor Aaron asks us to 1) Consider what it means to be DEAD, 2) Consider what it means to be DELIVERED, and 3) to not forget the DANGERS of your old life. This section of Ephesians is so rich it requires a two-part message! But in Part 1 you'll understand more fully what mercy, love, and grace, means to us as Christians. Tune in next week for the conclusion o...

Send us Fan Mail In this message Mike Gibbons shares that the key to stillness in the storm is to trust in God. He draws three practical conclusions from Psalm 62: Trust in God alone (vs. 1-6), trust in God always (vs. 7-8), and trust in God, not man (vs. 9-12). So if you've ever faced difficulties in this life be encouraged that God is with you and is worthy of our worship and complete trust...

Send us Fan Mail Pastor Aaron asks the question "What can we learn from Paul's prayer for the Ephesian church," and gives compelling answers: 1) Know you are in the faith, 2) Grow in spiritual understanding, and 3) Rest in the victory of Jesus. There's so much more in this message and in all the messages of this series in Ephesians. We hope you will have a chance to listen to t...

Send us Fan Mail If we're committed to Jesus sometimes it's necessary to take a stand. In fact we need to be ready to do so at anytime. Tom Gripka begins by reading a familiar passage from Joshua and then recounts stories of four Bible characters who took a stand by simply doing what God asked them to do, no matter what: Moses, David, Esther, and Daniel.

Send us Fan Mail God (Father, Son, and Spirit) has always called a PEOPLE for his possession through his PLAN of salvation for the PURPOSE of his praise.

Send us Fan Mail Ask yourself these questions: Does your vision for your home match God’s vision? Are you leaving a legacy of faith from one generation to the next? And how are you accomplishing God’s mission to and through your family? Keep these questions in mind as you hear this message in our Christ-Centered Homes series.

Send us Fan Mail In Christ-centered homes, parents do three things: Listen, Speak and Teach. And there are three motivations for teaching the next generation: 1) To set their hope in God 2) To help them not forget the works of God and to keep His commands, and 3) To help them know not to be stubborn and rebellious like the Israelites of the previous generation spoken about in this Psalm.

Send us Fan Mail There are five verbs that communicate what the Law is all about in Deuteronomy. Listen to this message as Pastor Aaron talks about these verbs and emphasizes just why the Lord chose, loved and redeemed His people.

Send us Fan Mail The importance of God's glory is so essential for us to understand, yet many find it difficult to put into words. In this message, Sean Sivils teaches that the reason we fail to see the glory of God is because we have been spiritually blinded to the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. But thankfully, Jesus speaks light in the darkness of our hearts so that we can see and...
