In God We Trust - Part 14 - We don't have idols like they did in the Bible, but in many ways we still worship things that aren't God.

The Ever-Loving Truth - Part 1 - All around us are people who assume the Gospel isn’t for them. Some are our friends or loved ones. How can we reach them? Scripture calls us to “speak the truth in love.” Some Christians emphasize love without reference to biblical truth, and others preach nothing but condemning truth without love. In this series, we’ll see what the biblical truth is regarding six...

In God We Trust - Part 13 - This week we look at three stories with three unique lessons. And then we ask ourselves, are we putting our trust in men or in God? learn more at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

The Mule-Headed Prophet and the Missionary God - Part 4 - Grace-healed Eyes - The repentance Jonah expressed in chapter 2 doesn’t mean his stubbornness was gone forever. It’s amazing to see a preacher so angry at the success of his own ministry, but once again, it’s a sign that Jonah wasn’t actually living by grace. When we let grace heal our eyes, we begin to see our neighbors the way God does. T...

In God We Trust - Part 12 - Here we read a story about God accomplishing His will despite the corrupt character of the leader in charge. But the leader's character filters down to the people he leads. So, what does good character look like?

The Mule-Headed Prophet and the Missionary God - Part 3 - What happens in Jonah 3 is one of the greatest miracles in human history. It’s hard to imagine how earth-shaking it must have been. We claim to believe in God, but the god we truly believe in seems to be too small to change anyone’s life. If we believed in the God of Jonah 3, we would live quite differently in our broken world.

In God We Trust - Part 11 - Let's look at two stories about what fear can do to us, and how we can respond. learn more about First Baptist Conroe at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

The Mule-Headed Prophet and the Missionary God - Part 2 - Here's Your Sign - When religious leaders asked Jesus for a sign that He truly spoke for God, He offered them only “the sign of Jonah.” When Jonah went into that fish for three days, it changed him. He had resisted God’s grace when it meant salvation for people he hated, but now it meant his own salvation. If we don’t embrace grace, we’ll n...

In God We Trust - Part 10 - Pride can keep us from experiencing the best that God has to show us. In order to truly embrace His love, and truly love those around us, we must become humble. Pride has a cost. learn more about First Baptist Conroe at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

Houston, We Are the Problem - The Mule-Headed Prophet and the Missionary God - Part 1 - In this entire story, Jonah is almost comically stubborn. It’s easy to laugh at him. But are we so different? We let prejudice, busyness, laziness, and lack of compassion stop us from being salt and light. We can all admit this world is broken. It won’t get better until we repent.

In God We Trust - Part 9 - There are stories in the Bible where God suddenly declares judgement on someone. It's so shocking and unexpected. How do we interpret this? Should we be worried? What does it mean, and why are these stories in the Bible? learn more about First Baptist Conroe at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

Saints and Our Stuff - Part 4 - Invest in Tomorrow. The future is uncertain, and that can make us anxious. Believe it or not, generosity can help change that anxiety to anticipation. This is one of Jesus’ most confusing parables. But the point is about using our stuff now to make a better future for ourselves, and for others. He made the same point in a different way in Matthew 6:19-21. learn more...

Saints and Our Stuff - Part 3 - Breaking the Chains - Money and stuff can be a trap. It destroys families, causes wars, ruins lives. But there is a way off the greed superhighway, and we see it embodied in the story of a wee little man. Spoiler: When we truly follow Jesus, generosity comes naturally, and generosity kills greed. learn more about First Baptist Conroe at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

In God We Trust - Part 8 - Sometimes it feels like the bad guys always win. How is that fair? How can God allow things like that? Is God a just God? learn more about First Baptist Conroe at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

Saints and Our Stuff - Part 2 - This world says the good life is found by gaining more stuff. Jesus said the good life is gained by giving stuff away. Does that mean we should all renounce our possessions and become monks? Matthew 6:25-31 gives a great framework for making decisions about our stuff. learn more about First Baptist Conroe at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

In God We Trust - Part 7 - You are designed to have a purpose. Without purpose life can feel meaningless. So, what is your purpose? learn more about First Baptist Conroe at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

Saints and Our Stuff - Part 1 - Most of Jesus’ teachings about money were warnings about its dangers, not secrets on how to acquire more. That’s ironic, since His followers were all poor. So what, in His view, is so dangerous about wealth, and how can we avoid its snares? learn more about First Baptist Conroe at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

In God We Trust - Part 6 - We believe that God is powerful. Do we act like we believe that? Are you expecting God to move in a powerful way, or are you expecting God to be limited? How do we start to trust that God will move in bigger ways than we could ever imagine? learn more about First Baptist Conroe at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

Living Sacrifices - Part 7 - “Overcome evil with good” sounds so simple, but what does it really mean? Christians have done a lot of un-Christian things in the name of resisting evil. When we read on to chapter 13:10 (where Paul’s train of thought actually leads), we see what Paul had in mind. learn more about First Baptist Conroe at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

In God We Trust - Part 5 - We know that God is working in our lives in good times and bad times. It's hard to see God in the bad times though. How can we find hope in the midst of suffering? learn more about First Baptist Conroe at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

Living Sacrifices - Part 6 - Following Jesus won’t make everyone like you. In fact, Jesus promised the opposite would often be true. How we respond when people attack us is one of the best indicators of whether our faith is real or not. Do we widen the conflict or spread the peace? learn more about First Baptist Conroe at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

In God We Trust - Part 4 - Solomon had many flaws, and his children inherited many of those same flaws. How can we avoid falling into the same sin that we saw in those who came before us?

Living Sacrifices - Part 5 - A lot of us think we know what humility is, but it might not be the type of humility the Bible refers to. We might think we're humble, but there could be some hidden pride buried deep within our souls. So, how do we become humble? learn more about First Baptist Conroe at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

In God We Trust - Part 3 - What can we learn about leadership through the life, the flaws, and the wisdom of Solomon? learn more about our church at fbcconroe.org/getconnected
