First Baptist Conroe Podcast

Living Sacrifices - Part 4 - Unity among His people is so important to God, He made sure every writer of every book in the New Testament talked about it. That leaves us with a major responsibility. Each of us is either the glue that helps hold the Body of Christ together or a hostile force that tries to tear it apart. This passage is a checklist to determine which one you are, and how to start bei...

Living Sacrifices - Part 3 - Your salvation wasn’t just to get you into Heaven. It wasn’t just to make you the best version of yourself. You were redeemed to be part of something huge: The Body of Christ. You have a role to play in the redemption of the world. Here’s how you make sure you’re doing your part. learn more about First Baptist Conroe at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

In God We Trust - Part 2 - In 1 Kings we read about the building of the temple. This passage of Scripture is hard to read, because it can seem tedious. But it is still important today. To understand the temple is to understand how Jesus changed the temple forever. learn more about First Baptist Conroe at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

Living Sacrifices - Part 2 - Sometimes your computer needs to be updated. There are bugs that need to be eliminated, upgrades that need to happen. God transforms us through His Word. While we conform to the patterns of this world, accepting its values and seeking its definition of success, we can’t experience God’s best. But when we dedicate ourselves to studying and obeying His Word, we’re contin...

In God We Trust - Part 1 - Reading through 1 and 2 Kings can sometimes feel like a dry history lesson. It’s also not the happiest book. So why study it? These books help tie together much of the rest of the Bible. It also shows us the importance of character in our leaders. But, not matter who our kings are on Earth, God is still King of everything.

Living Sacrifices - Pt. 1 - In Old Testament Israel, worship meant offering animals on an altar in our place. The first 11 chapters of Romans show that Jesus made that obsolete. He is our once-and-for-all sacrifice. So how do we worship Him today? It’s more than showing up for an hour-long service once a week. True worship is offering Him everything. The rest of the chapter shows how to practicall...

How will your 2024 look different that your 2023? Maybe it's time to change your perspective on what your purpose is. Maybe it's time to be a blessing.

What is Christmas really about? Why did Jesus come here? learn more about our church at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

Remember the ridiculous furor over Starbucks “holiday cups”? We tend to get all worked up over stuff that doesn’t matter, instead of what’s truly wrong with our world. But God knows what is wrong; and He has a plan to fix it. learn more about First Baptist Conroe at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

We are ending this study in the Revelation, chapter 12. This is the Christmas story. It is not the version we read in the Gospels. It is a very different version. It is Christmas from Heaven's perspective.

Whether we know it or not, what we all long for is a true King. Israel had a history of terrible rulers, and they were living in the aftermath of their incompetence and corruption. But Isaiah foretold a coming King who would be what the world truly needed. Who was this King? What would He accomplish? What difference should this make for us today? learn more about First Baptist Conroe at fbcconroe....

The Book of Jude ends with a call to action. What are some things that we as Christians need to do to guard ourselves from false teaching? learn more about First Baptist Conroe at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

Jesus in Matthew 5:9 said the peacemakers will be called the sons of God. Sons in the ancient world inherited from their fathers; daughters didn’t. So Jesus wasn’t excluding female peacemakers; He was promising that everyone who does the work of making peace will receive the blessing of sons. There’s a wonderful, little-known story in the New Testament of peacemaking. Paul gets involved in a dispu...

They say the Church is the only army that shoots its own wounded. But believers who stumble, or wander away, still matter just as much to God. It takes courage, compassion, and wisdom to restore them. Those who do it are doing God’s work. learn more about First Baptist Conroe at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

We continue to look at how to fight for our faith in the book of Jude. learn more about First Baptist Conroe at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

We’ve been looking at Transforming Relationships that happened in Scripture. Today, we’re going in a different direction. Instead of looking at a relationship between two humans, we’re going to look at our relationship with the heart of God. The second way this sermon is different is that I am not going to preach on one specific passage of Scripture. I’m going to cover several parts of the Bible,...

Jude wasn't written by John, but the theme of the book is the same. We will explore the theme of truth in the book of Jude. learn more about First Baptist Conroe at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

The idea of loving our enemies sounds completely impractical. Yet when we see it lived out, it’s incredibly powerful. Don’t be quick to dismiss a person. They are a child of God, even if they make you miserable. Paul and Silas had compassion on a man who a few hours earlier was beating them, and eternity changed. learn more about our church at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

In 3 John, John is writing to a gentile church leader to encourage him. What does that encouragement mean for us today? learn more about our church at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

We all feel most comfortable with people just like us. Peter was no different, apostle or not. God showed him that his seemingly harmless small-mindedness was keeping him from something big. When we cross boundaries to invest in others, it can have ripple effects far beyond what we can foresee. learn more about our church at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

We're looking at 2 John. This book is, in a way, a culmination and summary of a lot of the themes explored in 1 John. What is truth? What is love? Let's find out.

All we know about Ananias is this story, in which he brings physical sight to Saul of Tarsus. But he does more than that; he lets him know that he is forgiven by Christ and welcomed into a new family. Just the two words “brother Saul” were more healing than we can imagine. When we see broken people, it’s God’s invitation to speak healing words to them, too. learn more about First Baptist Conroe at...

We are finishing 1 John, and in this part of the letter, God, through John, wants us to know and be confident in a few specific things. learn more about our church at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

At First Baptist Conroe, we believe that our relationship with Jesus should lead us to invest in people to display His love and grace. In Scripture, we see examples of these kinds of relationships. We call them Transforming Relationships. The first one we'll look at is the life of Andrew, who was quietly powerful. Andrew grew up with his brother Peter and their partners James and John. Yet unlike...

In 1 John 5:1-12, John writes a pastoral letter to address certain conflicts that have risen in the church. What can we learn from this sermon in written form? learn more about our church at fbcconroe.org/getconnected
