First Baptist Owasso

Chris Wall • 1 Peter 3:1-7 ESV A meme is a picture, video, or piece of text shared over and over again that communicates an idea or feeling that people have together. Memes illustrate moments for people when words just aren’t enough. They can be funny, serious, or pointed. In Scripture, some principles are so rich in meaning that God paints multiple pictures to help us understand the significance...

Chad Balthrop • 1 Peter 3:17 ESV A meme is a picture, video, or piece of text shared over and over again that communicates an idea or feeling that people have together. Memes illustrate moments for people when words just aren’t enough. They can be funny, serious, or pointed. In Scripture, some principles are so rich in meaning that God paints multiple pictures to help us understand the significanc...

Chris Wall • 1 Peter 2:18-25 ESV Submission to Christ naturally moves us to submit to one another. This goes against our natural human nature. However, following Christ moves us to surrender our will to God’s will. This is especially important as we serve the Lord in the workplace. It makes sense that God’s word speaks to our work life because according to Google: the average American spends 1/3 o...

Chad Balthrop • 1 Peter 2:13-17 NKJV A meme is a picture, video, or piece of text shared over and over again that communicates an idea or feeling that people have together. Memes illustrate moments for people when words just aren’t enough. They can be funny, serious, or pointed. In Scripture, some principles are so rich in meaning that God paints multiple pictures to help us understand the signifi...

Chris Wall • 1 Peter 2:1-12 NIV When we you were born the first time, you were helpless, completely dependent, and vulnerable. The moment you are born again a spiritual battle kicks off. Amazingly, God prepares us for the battle. He equips us for the struggle. Spiritual birth is the greatest gift a person can receive producing the greatest adventure a person can live. Don’t miss the gift of new bi...

Misael Gonzalez • 1 Peter 2:1-8 NIV When something is being Forged, the impurities are being removed and the object is being molded into something new. In this process, you will never see someone throw impurities back into the object because it would ruin or poison the material. So here is the question… Do you seek to be strengthened by God, or are you poisoning yourself?

Chris Wall • Ephesians 3:14-21 ESV God has called us to these days and to this place. Over the past 75 years, God has moved. We are continuing to learn God can be trusted and He is faithful to use His word as a light and a lamp. Our call is to keep walking with Him and trusting Him until He returns. Let's never forget our work for the Lord continues. Let's get to work.

Chris Wall • Luke 24:1-8 ESV These ladies went to the tomb expecting to complete the grim task of preparing the mutilated body of Jesus for a proper burial. Approaching the tomb, shock and amazement took over as they discovered Jesus was no longer in the grave. He is Alive. This morning, let's walk into this first resurrection moment working to experience the risen Lord who continues to move power...

Chris Wall • Luke 18:31-34 ESV The death and resurrection of Christ was bigger than just physically coming back to life. When Jesus rose from the dead and conquered the grave, He was revealing a new kind of human life available to all who would trust Him. He pointed to a life where the experience would shift from the shackles of weakness, aging and death to a new life capable of living eternally i...

Chris Wall • Luke 9:18-27 ESV People have always longed to see divine signs that offer hope in both this life and the next. Amazingly, God has provided so much evidence of His presence and His love for humanity. Though Creation clearly points to His existence, the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Christ is the greatest sign revealed to the world. The cross is the sign bringing hope to this...

Misael Gonzalez • Matthew 12:38-42 NIV “What more do you want?” This is a valid question to ask after you have done everything possible to “prove” your point or “prove” your love to someone, yet they still don’t believe you. In this message, we see how people with unrepented hearts, wanted Jesus to “really” prove who he was even though he had already done all the signs to proclaim exactly who he w...

Chris Wall • 1 Peter 1:22-25 NIV One historic mark of a follower of Christ is showing love for one another. When we put God’s word into practice, it looks like patience, kindness, selflessness, and forgiveness. God brings His body together so the entire world will hear His voice and experience real hope in life. 

Chad Balthrop • 1 Peter 1:17-25 NKJV It doesn’t seem fair. The food that tastes the best is bad for us. The things we want to buy are more than we can afford. The life we’ve always wanted seems just outside our reach. Yet God reminds us. There’s more to this life than this moment. Every minor decision paves the way to monumental mistakes or builds memories that tell a story you can’t wait to read...

Chris Wall • 1 Peter 1:13-16 ESV God is faithful to prepare us for tough times and challenging circumstances. Faith in Christ comes with a call to the frontlines of the spiritual battle. One of the reasons we don’t go to heaven right after coming to faith in Christ is that we have work to do. Thriving in #themissionlife is impossible without the pursuit of holiness. Today, lean into how the Holy S...

Chris Wall • 1 Peter 1:10-12 ESV Salvation is so magnificent. It has been passed from generation to generation. We have a responsibility to do the same. In fact, our responsibility is so very important, the angels in heaven are actually envious of us. How cool is that?

Chris Wall • 1 Peter 1:3-9 ESV When Christ saves us and then grows us, so many blessings come our way. We have a hope that is living. We have strength and purpose through trials. And, there is no more fear in death. For every believer, our last day on the earth will be the day we receive the goal of our faith. That will be the day we cross the finish line experiencing seeing all that salvation mea...

Caleb and Jeremy Freeman • John 11

Chris Wall • 1 Peter 1:1-2 ESV The Bible is clear; Jesus does not keep us from tough times or difficult circumstances. God is big enough and always faithful to walk us through every chaotic situation we will face. From 1 Peter, discover proven ways God has given us to navigate the complexities of our world. God is faithful. His promises are always true. Because of His grace, your life is TRANSFORM...

Chris Wall • Revelation 3:14-22 ESV God has called and mobilized us to engage together as Ambassadors for Christ. Like 2 Corinthians 5:20 says, “it is as though God were making His appeal through us.” God has been faithful to make Himself known to the world, but His most effective and intentional plan for sharing the news of salvation to the lost is through the lives of every believer and every ch...

Chris Wall • Revelation 3:1-6 ESV First Baptist Owasso is a church committed to community. We are living life together walking through the ups and downs of life. As we build a church living in AUTHENTIC BIBLICAL COMMUNITY, we get close enough to one another to confront, serve, and face adversity side by side. Sardis was a church that was on the verge of death because they failed to live together a...

Chris Wall • Revelation 2:18-29 ESV Our church works diligently to understand and live by the Word of God in every area of our lives. Following Jesus is not just a part of our lives. Faith drives everything we do. The church at Thyatira wanted to love everyone but made the mistake of drifting away from truth. To avoid that trap, one of our core values is connecting God's truth to our daily lives....

Chris Wall • Revelation 2:1-7 ESV Our church has been planted in Owasso and Tulsa to "Love All people to Christ, equipping them on their journey with God and one another." As we begin 2022, we are going to take a look at four churches in Revelation processing the Core Values of our church. Ephesus had the right doctrine, but left their love of Christ. Doctrine is important but right doctrine must...

Keith Davis • Acts 1:6-8 ESV #theMissionLife - Unless God stops me, I will be involved in church every Sunday this year.

Chad Balthrop • Luke 23:33-43 ESV The birth of Jesus was real. God became flesh, wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger. The precious gift of this child, celebrated by kings and angels, grew to become a man on mission. He came to save His people from their sin. Every gift has a price. This one cost Him everything.

Chris Wall • Matthew 2:1-12 ESV The third message in this series will focus on the simultaneously call to a small group of wise men. This group had studied ancient revelations and natural processes that revealed the arrival of the Savior. These men were so certain of God’s plan, they traveled to Bethlehem bringing gifts for the purpose of bowing in worship to the King in a manger. This humble resp...
