First Baptist Conroe Podcast

Follow - Pt 11 - Earlier in this series, we looked at the power of community to change us. But the church is not merely God’s gift to us. It’s His tool for changing the world. Though we start out like newborn infants, we become living stones who are built into a Temple for His glory, and a priesthood that represents Him in a world dying for hope.

Follow - Pt 10 - If we have received such a great salvation, it should make a difference in how we live right now. Peter urges us to get ready for action, to live out this life change. We should see newfound holiness, love, and reverence for God.

Follow - Pt 9 - Late in his life, Peter wrote his thoughts about following Jesus. He said salvation was more than a one- time event that gets us into Heaven when we die. It is a living hope, a fulfilling love, a lifelong process, and the culmination of a great plan.

Life Upside Down - Pt 7 - Readiness isn’t about predicting a date; it’s about living with a purpose that doesn’t change when the Master returns.

Follow - Pt 8 - Being with Jesus isn’t something we can do in isolation. Jesus left us more than His Word and His Spirit. He also left us His body, the Church. Here’s a story in which the entire Body of Christ gets invested in helping Peter in a moment of crisis. It’s also essentially the end of Peter being the main character of the book of Acts. But not the end of what God would do in and through...

Life Upside Down - Pt 6 - This lesson explores how to move beyond unhelpful responses to grief by anchoring our comfort in the historical and biblical promise of Christ’s return. We investigate whether modern "Rapture" theology matches the original hope held by the global church for nearly two millennia. We look forward to a literal, bodily resurrection and an eternal reunion with both Christ and...

Follow - Pt 7 - Busting Barriers - The more time we spend with Jesus, the more we start to look at the world differently. Barriers between people that others see as insurmountable are simply new challenges for us to overcome.

Life Upside Down - Pt 5 - This passage from 1 Thessalonians 4 is such a grounded, practical call to action. It moves from the high theology of "God’s will" straight into the nitty-gritty of how we use our bodies, how we treat our neighbors, and even how we handle our day jobs.

Follow - Pt 6 - When Peter and John were arrested, it should have been the most terrifying moment of their lives. Instead, they left their captors amazed. All that accounted for their behavior was “these men have been with Jesus.” What are the signs the world sees when we’ve been with Him?

Life Upside Down - Pt 4 - In this message, we explore the deep pastoral heart of the Apostle Paul as he navigates the pain of separation from the Thessalonian church. Despite being hindered by spiritual opposition and physical distance, Paul’s primary concern remains the spiritual stability of the believers.

Follow - Pt 5 - “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you,” Jesus promised just before He left them. A few days later, it happened. No one who knew Simon Peter before that day would have believed what he could accomplish. But when the Spirit of God is involved, everything changes. Nothing is impossible.

Life Upside Down - Pt 3 - This passage from 1 Thessalonians 2:13–20 is incredibly rich. It highlights the grit required to keep faith alive when you're being "torn away" from community or facing "suffering from your own countrymen."

Follow - Pt 4 - This is the story of the best and worst day Peter had ever had. We see how the faith he showed that day would be the foundation of the greatest movement the world has ever seen. But we also see how his worst instincts would get in the way of Jesus saving the world. Those instincts are still alive in Christ’s people today. What should we do to overcome them?

Follow - Pt 3 - Peter had no qualifications for walking on water. But when Jesus called, he went. We think of discipleship in terms of being with Jesus, and becoming like Him. But the end goal of this process is to do what He did. Do you have the boldness to get out of the boat?

Life Upside Down - Pt 1 - 1 Thessalonians is one of the earliest letters we have that documents early Christianity. Why is this letter important to us today?

Follow - Pt 2 - Jesus wasn’t through changing Simon Peter when He called Him. Instead, He was just getting started. In the transfiguration, Peter saw that Jesus was much more than he thought. Later in life, as he thought back to that day, it reminded him of Christ’s power to change us. Salvation is an event, but also a process. It’s a long transition from a self-centered to a God-centered life. An...

Follow - Pt 1 - How does a life get changed? Simon was just a fisherman in Capernaum. But when Jesus said, “Follow me,” he left it all behind. Has that happened to you yet? What might He have in mind for you, if you truly choose to leave it all and follow?

Invest More in 2026 - Matthew 6:19-24, 33 (ESV) In 2026 let's spend more time studying God’s word, more energy serving the church, more resources in ministry and missions, and more of yourself in Kingdom work.

Good News, Great Joy - Pt 4 - Overjoyed - When the magi found Jesus, they “rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.” There are four things you need in order to have that kind of joy all the time, and all four are found in Him.

Good News, Great Joy - Pt 3 - Peace on Earth - We all know the warm picture of rustic shepherds around a manger. But why, of all the people in Judea, were these men chosen as the sole eyewitnesses of the newborn Messiah? The answer is consistent with who Jesus would grow up to be. And it gives us another reason to rejoice.

Good News, Great Joy - Pt 2 - When Mary and Joseph first heard that a baby was coming, they both had reason to be terrified. This would disrupt their lives forever. Their story shows us that when life throws us a curveball, we can still have joy in chaos, peace that makes no sense.

Good News, Great Joy - Pt 1 - Long before the birth of Jesus, God knew His people needed hope. He gave it to them—not because they deserved it, but because He is God. He offers you that same hope today. Do you want to see the glory of the Lord? Do you want to be comforted with His hope?

American Idols - Pt 10 - How do we identify the idols in our own lives, and how do we handle them? How has Jesus already handled them?

Help My Unbelief - Pt 8 - “Amen, come Lord Jesus” is a reminder that this world isn’t all there is, and this life isn’t the end of the story. The best is absolutely yet to come. We’ll talk about what specific ideas this prayer should conjure up for us. And best of all, this is one prayer we know will be answered someday!

Help My Unbelief - Pt 7 - These two prayers show us what we need most in hostile territory: Boldness and grace.
