First Baptist Conroe Podcast

Whether we want to or not, we represent Jesus in a world full of lost people. Every relationship with an unbeliever is an opportunity to make an eternal difference. How can we redeem those opportunities?

Love is one of the most misunderstood and overused words in our language and other languages as well. God says HE is love. What exactly does that mean? In 1 John 4:7-21, John explains what it means for God to be love.

It’s one thing to believe the right doctrines and act graciously when we want to impress others. But when our guard is down—with our families and at our workplace—our true character is revealed. How should a Christ-centered faith display itself in these most important relationships? fbcconroe.org/getconnected

The New Testament is constantly warning us about false teaching. We're going to run into false teaching at some point in our lives. How do we know if a teaching is false, and what do we do about it? That's what John talks about in 1 John 4:1-6.

If mortification is like stripping off dirty clothes, what are supposed to put on? Athletes and movie stars are paid to wear certain brands. We as believers are commanded to put on Jesus. What is a life that wears Him well? fbcconroe.org/getconnected

How do we grow in our ability to love others? 1 John 3:11-24 might hold the answers. fbcconroe.org/getconnected

We’re no longer yoked to a Law, but that doesn’t mean we live by the flesh. In fact, the first step to living out the Christ-filled life is to kill the flesh. Christians of another time used the term “mortification” to describe this process. Most believers today wouldn’t recognize that term, nor are they familiar with the process. Paul shows us how to kill the old man that keeps us from the life C...

John wants us to remember who we are. That is so important if we want to continue walking in the light. In 1 John 2:28-3:10 John urges us to remember that we are Children of God. learn more at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

The Problem with Legalism - Colossians 2:16-23 - Even if the Colossians managed to overcome the heresy being taught in their church, they still needed to watch out for legalism. We can be doctrinally correct, morally upright, and still oppose the way of Jesus. Legalism is sneaky, because it feels like good Christianity. In fact, most Christians today have heard the term, but probably can’t identif...

In 1 John 2:18-27, John talks about how to keep from straying away from the Gospel. learn more at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

Even most Christians seem unaware of what Christ has truly given them. To belong to Jesus means much more than simply a “get out of Hell free” card. This passage in Colossians shows us aspects of salvation that make life truly victorious. learn more at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

In 1 John 2:12-17, John tells us his reasons for writing this particular letter. He also expresses how the church should be interacting with the world. learn more at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

Think about the amount of energy that gets expended to keep churches, mission organizations and other ministries going. What is it all for? According to Paul, it was to someday present everyone to Jesus complete in Him. We must make that the goal of our ministry. How do we accomplish that goal? learn more at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

Through faith, we have assurance that we will be with Jesus one day. God no longer sees our sin, because of Jesus dying on the cross. And yet, we are still called to live righteous lives. Why? John explains this in 1 John 2:1-11. learn more at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

We engage in all sorts of ideological debates. Most of them are irrelevant (remember the “War on Christmas”?). But some ideas are worth dying for. No idea is more important than the identity of Christ. That doctrine was under attack in Colossae, which is why Paul wrote this letter. So what do people need to know about Jesus? learn more at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

A true disciple should be growing in Christ. But how? We must make Jesus preeminent in every aspect of our lives. Colossians is a guidebook on how to accomplish that. There are many different ways of measuring our lives. What criteria does God use? Paul begins his letter with a prayer for his friends. He prays that they would live a life worthy of God. The contents of his prayer tell us what that...

Hebrews 12:1-2 is such an inspiring passage, but even more so when you consider what the “great cloud of witnesses refers to.” What do they teach us about “running the race with endurance?” learn more at fbcconroe.org/getconnected

We all care about our reputation, but sometimes that stops us from doing God’s will. Moses preferred the reproach of Christ to the treasures of Egypt. Rahab chose to betray her people rather than be a hero to them. The Israelites marched around Jericho rather than storming in. They were all looking to obey the invisible God rather than impress the people around them. learn more at fbcconroe.org/ge...
