FSBC Pomeroy Podcast

Over the last two weeks, we’ve learned that God is the Owner of our lives and that our testimonies are Currency meant to be traded in the marketplace. Today, we move from the Heart to the Hand. In the Parable of the Talents, Jesus warns us against the "Danger of the Dirt"—the temptation to bury what God has given us because of fear. But at First Southern, we have seen too much of the "unheard of" ...

Is your miracle a secret? In the Kingdom of God, a miracle hidden is a talent buried. If God did the "unheard of" in your life this past year—if He healed your body or restored your soul—He didn't do it just for you. He did it so His name might be proclaimed in all the earth! Tune in as Pastor Josh challenges us to stop "owning" our testimonies and start "trading" them in the marketplace. Join us...

We serve a God who does the "unheard of." As we look back at 2025, our church is filled with living evidence of His power—cancerous cells gone, barrenness turned to life, and new hearts beating in once-failing chests. But as we step into 2026, we must answer a critical question: Who owns the miracle? Today, Pastor Josh kicks off our new series, The Steward of Miracles, by shattering the "Myth of O...

We are standing on a bridge. As we close out 2025 and look toward the "deep waters" of Romans in 2026, we stop to look back at a year of the UNHEARD-OF. In this special year-end message, Pastor Josh looks at the "Ebenezer" moment in 1 Samuel 7:12. An "Ebenezer" is a "Stone of Help"—a physical marker of a spiritual reality. At First Southern, 2025 has been a year of literal markers: If God has been...

Love That Stooped Low John 1:9–18; Philippians 2:5–11 December 21 (4th Sunday of Advent)

“If God is for us, who can be against us?” The cross proves God is for you, the verdict stands—God justifies—the risen Christ intercedes, and nothing can separate you from His love. This message is built for busy, no-hype families who need solid ground in real storms. We don’t win by bravado but by the unbreakable love of God in Christ. CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro — When the week fights back 02:10 If God...

Your groan isn’t failure—it’s labor. Paul says present suffering can’t compare with the coming weight of glory (v.18). Creation groans, we groan, and—when words run out—the Spirit helps our weakness and intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words (v.26). This message helps real, time-pressed families face pain without pretending, anchor hope in the redemption of our bodies (v.23), and endu...

You’re not on spiritual probation—you’re acquitted in Christ and accepted as family. Romans 8:8–16 cuts through performance pressure and announces a better way to live: the flesh cannot please God (v.8), but the Spirit dwells in you (v.9), leads you (v.14), and makes you cry, “Abba! Father!” (v.15). No hype—just holy ground for busy, real-life families. Big Idea: Those God justifies, His Spirit le...

Are you tired of failing—or pretending? Romans 7 tells the truth about the war within every Christian: indwelling sin vs. a heart that delights in God. In this sermon, “The Struggle of The Redeemed,” we walk verse-by-verse through Romans 7:14 –25 in a careful clear exegesis and pastoral application. What you’ll hear: Why Paul speaks in the present tense as a believer (vv. 14–17) The conflict betwe...

The Law isn’t the problem—the Law is holy. It’s the mirror that shows us what’s wrong inside. In Romans 7:7–14, Paul explains how God’s good Law awakens the “sleeping giant” of sin—not to destroy us, but to drive us to grace in Jesus. When the Spirit convicts, we stop making excuses and start crying out for mercy—and there we find Christ’s perfect righteousness given to sinners. In this message yo...

When faith feels like a checklist, Romans 7:1–6 offers real freedom. The Law is holy, but it can diagnose only—Jesus delivers. In this message, Pastor Joshua Fisher walks verse-by-verse through Paul’s teaching that believers have died to the Law’s condemning power through the body of Christ, belong to the risen Lord, and now bear fruit for God by the new way of the Spirit. In Christ, we have died...
