Millions of Christians go to church today listening to a preacher rather than someone who should be their pastor. Take some time to reflect on the questions that are presented in this message to determine which category you fit into. What about the Christians who don't feel the need to have any spiritual authority figure in their lives? We encourage you to stick through to the end if you feel...

It's a broad question but one that requires my reflection on the questions I had when answering this query and the conclusion I came up with.

Do you have spiritual parasomnia? Many Christians are spiritually asleep without even realising it. In Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty! Pastor Tim Eyschen opens 1 Thessalonians 5:5–11 to help us discover whether we’ve drifted into spiritual slumber. Paul urges believers to be alert and sober, but alert to what? Most people think he’s talking about watching what’s happening in the world, but what if Paul’...

What if the darkest day the world will ever see… isn’t something believers need to fear? In this message, Pastor Tim Eyschen opens 1 Thessalonians 5:1-5 and reveals a hope that shines even when the headlines look bleak. The “Day of the Lord” may sound terrifying, but for those who belong to Jesus, there’s a bright side that changes everything. If you’ve ever wondered what’s coming or how to face t...

We've been studying 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 lately and a few questions have been asked, which are: 1. Why believe in a pre-tribulation rapture when the doctrine was invented in 1830?2. Does the pre-millennial view imply that the rapture will occur before the Great Tribulation?3. Will carnal Christians be taken up in the rapture?4. If the Old Testament saints didn't believe in Jesus, how ar...

This message will explain why the church needs to be harpooned out of here when it is time. The question is always when and it's plain in Paul's writing that it was imminent; meaning, it could happen any second. Your view of Israel will determine though whether you will agree with this message or not. Does God still have a plan for them. You will see in this message that God will use the D...

The rapture was a mystery - something that has been kept secret but revealed in due time. Hear in this message, verses 15 & 16 of 1 Thessalonians 4 expounded, which will help you gain a clearer insight into what the church back then was concerned with. Two thousand years later, people are still concerned over these same issues and you don't have to be. Maybe this will be the sermon where y...

How can someone like Erika Kirk, whose husband, Charlie, was tragically assassinated last week, have any hope when her world has been shattered so suddenly? The answer can only be Jesus. In this message from 1 Thessalonians 4:13–14, we look at how the early church in Thessalonica also wrestled with grief and loss. Their concern wasn’t whether their loved ones were in Heaven as Paul had already pre...

Ephesians 5:22 is one of the most quoted and most misused verses in the Bible. In this message, Pastor Tim unpacks what Paul really meant when he wrote, “Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord.”Far from giving men a license to dominate, this passage teaches a beautiful picture of love, respect, and partnership in marriage. Yet too often, husbands twist it in ways Paul never...

Is 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 really describing the rapture or the second coming of Christ? In this message, “Rapture or Second Coming?”, Pastor Tim unpacks this important passage and highlights 7 key differences between the rapture and other Scriptures that describe Christ’s return to earth. If you’ve ever been confused about end-times teaching or wondered how these two events fit together, this ser...

Many Christians believe they need to do something spectacular to make an impact for Jesus. But in 1 Thessalonians 4:9–12, Paul reminds us that it’s often the ordinary things — loving one another, living peacefully, minding our own business, and working faithfully — that become the most powerful witness to the world. In this message, “Ordinary Life, Extraordinary Witness” , discover how simple dail...

Paul addresses the issue of sexual immorality in the church and it's a message that is needed more than ever in today's society.

From July 9th to the 12th, over 3000 Baptists from around the world, representing over 130 nations, gathered in Brisbane at the Exhibition Center for the Baptist World Congress. Out of that conference, there's a new movement that was started called the 2033 Acts 2 Movement. Watch now to find out more and see what role you can play in fulfilling this vision as we approach the 2000 year annivers...

How’s your attitude toward the Church? In this message, “Attitude Check,” Pastor Tim unpacks 1 Thessalonians 3 to explore the heart of the Apostle Paul toward the believers in Thessalonica. What we find isn’t criticism or control but deep affection, sacrificial love, and unshakable joy. In a world where people often treat church like a product to consume, Paul challenges us to see it as a family t...

Does Mark 16:17-18 apply to all believers?

What would it look like if our church truly put others before ourselves? In this message, Pastor Tim Eyschen unpacks 1 Thessalonians 2:19–20, where the apostle Paul describes people and not possessions as his crown, his joy, and his eternal reward. Through this inspiring vision, we’re invited to imagine a church where self-interest gives way to sacrificial love, and where showing up isn’t about wh...

How much interference can Satan cause? Are we even aware of his presence and the spiritual battle that we're involved in every day?

This is a verse that proves that God's Word has power to work in and through those of us who believe in the name of Jesus. Why do we take it for granted? This message aims at encouraging us to get into God's Word and draw power from its source so we can live lives that are continually led by the Spirit.

We finished the month of May expounding 1 Thessalonians 2:7-12 and there's a question that retains to that last verse when it comes to God calling us into His kingdom and glory. Is this a past or future event? When it comes to looking at the various passages referring to the Kingdom of God, it seems to be that this is both a past and future event; both an earthly and celestial kingdom but one...

When I say Christian maturity, you might be more familiar with the word Spiritual maturity.  Ultimately, we're talking about our sanctification or holiness as described in Romans 6:19 - a word used sometimes to refer to our walk/lifestyle in Christ becoming transformed more and more into His image each day. As Paul describes in the last verse of our passage, which we expounded on Sunday, the g...

It's a question not just for Pastors and Teachers to ask but every Christian, who is doing some kind of ministry in their local context. Here are 7 criteria found in the first 6 verses of Paul's second chapter in his letter to the Thessalonian church, that can be used to assess whether our motives are pure - just like Paul's were.

This a question to ask someone to find out what their eschatology is. If the answer is no, it means they apply passages of Scripture to themselves when they are intended to be addressed to the Jews only. We talk about the doctrine of imminence which says that Jesus can come anytime, even this very second. Are you ready?#baptistchurch #herveybay #christianity #christianliving #frasercoastbaptistchu...

Here are at least 6 criteria to use for anyone who wishes to handle the word of God with care and accuracy. For most people, it takes time and effort to take into account these criteria when studying Scripture. For those, who wish to understand more of the Bible, these six are an absolute minimum when attempting to interpret Scripture.#askmeanything #baptistchurch #herveybay #christianity #christi...

The church in Thessalonica turned out to be an example to everyone around and even beyond in the regions down south. Their ministry turned into a mission. What does it look like for our lives to be an example to those around us and what would it take for us to get there?

Here are 3 implications that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ results in.
