Sermons | FBC Boerne

Special guest preacher Dr. Richard Taylor joins us this Sunday as we explore how to see people the way God sees them, moving beyond labels and conditions to the image of God in every person. You’ll hear a clear, practical call to use what you already have—faith, presence, a listening ear, a willing hand—instead of waiting for more silver and gold. We discuss missed opportunities at the threshold o...

Pastor Jason Smith opens with a personal story that shows how ordinary faithfulness can lead to extraordinary grace. From there, we dig deep into the promise of Acts 1:8 and the surprising comfort of 1 Corinthians 2, where Paul admits fear and trembling yet chooses plain words about Christ and him crucified. Pastor Jason discusses what real evangelism looks like on a typical week: praying for spec...

Revival rarely starts on a stage. It begins in kitchens, in quiet prayers, and in everyday courage that crosses lines we once avoided. We share how a “graveyard of missions” like Bihar has become a field alive with faith, and why that matters for anyone who wonders if their prayers still move mountains. We talk honestly about loving enemies through the lens of Naaman’s servant girl, then follow Ph...

The Old Testament saints had to approach God through animal sacrifices, Levitical priests, and a specific temple in Jerusalem, yet they longed for what we have today. Through Jesus Christ, God's Spirit dwells within us directly, and we are the dwelling place of God. While God is always with us individually, there's something uniquely powerful about experiencing the Holy Spirit when belie...

What if the future of your faith begins at your kitchen table? We bring a clear, urgent message about the courage it takes to let God search our relationships and the freedom that follows when we finally face what we’ve been avoiding. Starting with Samuel’s remarkable moment of public integrity at Gilgal, we set a high bar for honesty and humility. Then we turn to the wreckage inside David’s home—...

Fear of “doing prayer wrong” keeps so many of us quiet. We challenge that fear head-on by looking at how the Holy Spirit meets us in prayer, confirms our identity as adopted children, and intercedes when our words fall short. No courtly etiquette. No perfect script. Just real access to a Father who wants all of you—joy, pain, doubts, and daily needs. We start with Romans 8:15–16 to ground prayer i...

The journey of spiritual growth must begin with genuine repentance, which goes far beyond feeling remorseful about our failures. True repentance involves a complete transformation of our thinking and desires, actively choosing to walk away from destructive patterns and toward the beauty of God's holiness. This isn't about shame or self-condemnation, but rather a sincere change of heart t...

We trace a single thread from the cleft of the rock to the cross. Moses begs, Show me your glory, and God answers by proclaiming his name—compassionate and just, merciful and holy. Paul says we now behold that same glory with unveiled faces as the Spirit transforms us into the image of Christ. We unpack why spiritual experience is never severed from revelation, how Ephesians 3 calls us to grasp th...

What if prayer isn’t symbolic comfort but real work that God uses to change lives, families, and cities? Pastor Jason Smith opens with a story from a house church he recently visited in India, where a new believer—the first in his village—hosts eighty worshipers in two concrete rooms and radiates a dignity the world can’t explain. From that picture of courage and purpose, we move into James 5 and...

If you’ve ever confused goosebumps for God or assumed the Spirit only moves when everything fits your framework, this one will reset your compass. We open with a wry studio story—reverb mistaken for revival—and then build a sturdy set of guardrails to help you recognize the Holy Spirit without chasing vibes or boxing Him into neat logic. The message is honest, hopeful, and laser-focused on one tes...

What if prayer isn’t about persuading God, but about being transformed by Him? We step into the Garden of Gethsemane and sit with Jesus in His most vulnerable hour—sorrowful, weighed down, and yet willing to yield, “Not my will, but yours be done.” As we read Matthew 26:36–46, we unpack the tension between desire and obedience, the beauty of honest lament, and the courage that rises when we trust...

What if the most important work God wants to do isn’t through your talent but within your character? We open Galatians 5 and follow Paul’s bold contrast between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit, moving from activity and achievement to identity and transformation. No spiritual shortcuts, no legalism—just the strange, freeing path of surrender that lets the Spirit grow what our wil...

What if confession didn’t start with your guilt, but with God’s character? We walk through Psalm 51 and a simple, memorable framework—appeal, admit, ask, act—that turns confession from a vague ritual into a life-giving practice. Drawing from Exodus 34, Pastor Garrett McCord unpacks the Hebrew layers of God’s heart: rahum, the gut-level parental compassion that refuses to let go, and hesed, the ste...

Have you ever wondered why you seem drawn to certain aspects of ministry while others feel like a struggle? The answer might lie in understanding how the Holy Spirit has uniquely gifted you. Drawing a powerful contrast between the ill-fated British Light Brigade of 1854 and God's provision for believers, Pastor Daniel Justice illuminates how God has strategically equipped every Christian for...

Prayer transcends mere physical posture—it's a disposition of the heart, a learned desperation that connects us with eternity. When our anxious thoughts threaten to overwhelm us, God offers not just comfort, but a complete prescription for peace through His Word. Pastor Jason Smith delivers a powerful and practical guide to praying through anxiety using Philippians 4:4-9 as a divine roadmap....

Have you ever looked back at something from the past—like asbestos snow in The Wizard of Oz or radioactive children's toys—and wondered, "What were they thinking?" This moment of clarity about past mistakes perfectly illustrates how the Holy Spirit works in our lives as believers. The Holy Spirit's role in conviction stands as one of the most misunderstood yet vital aspects of...

Prayer is not a passive suggestion box where we drop our requests and walk away. It's a dynamic, personal interaction with God that requires perseverance and engagement. When we look at Jacob wrestling with God in Genesis 32, we see a powerful image of what prayer should be - a determined, passionate striving with God until He blesses us. Why did God condescend to wrestle with Jacob? To teach...

Description 2 The planned message on the Holy Spirit transforms into a time of corporate prayer as we respond to breaking news of national tragedies, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk and another school shooting. Pastor Jason Smith leads the congregation in forming prayer circles to seek God together during this difficult season of loss within our church and political unrest in our count...

Drawing from Matthew 6:9-10, Pastor Jason unpacks Jesus' teaching on prayer, revealing how "hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done" forms a unified call for believers to passionately seek revival and God's movement in our world. Through a compelling contrast of Peter's prayer life before and after following Jesus, we see how our prayers naturally expan...

Have you ever questioned your faith or wondered if your salvation is secure? That nagging doubt is something many believers wrestle with, but the answer lies not in our feelings or theological knowledge. Pastor Jason Smith shares the Holy Spirit's critical role as both seal and guarantee in the believer's life. Drawing from Ephesians 1:13-14, we discover how God marks us as authentically...

Pastor Jason starts a new series looking at prayer. This week, we explore prayer as a learned desperation rather than just a discipline, examining how Jesus teaches us to approach God as our Father rather than with empty repetitions. • Prayer isn't just a position of our knees but a disposition of our hearts • Jesus modeled prayer throughout his ministry, often slipping away to pray for exten...

The question haunts many believers: "How do I know when God is speaking to me?" This fundamental uncertainty about experiencing the Holy Spirit's presence forms the foundation of our exploration into what it means to be filled with God's Spirit. Drawing from Jesus' surprising statement in John 16:7, we discover a profound truth that challenges our assumptions. Christ told...

In a detour from our normal Sundays, the pastoral leaders discuss all that God has done over the past few years at FBC.  When it takes root in a community of believers, the Gospel naturally produces growth, unity, and transformation. This fruit manifests through good works, growing knowledge of God, love for one another, unity, and hope. In church life, Gospel fruit appears in tangible growth like...

The journey of faith begins with a profound mystery - how does a spiritually dead person come to life in Christ? During this Wednesday night Recharge service, we tackle a question that troubles many believers: "How do I know if I've heard God speak to me?" The answer begins by understanding the Holy Spirit's foundational role in our salvation. Scripture paints a stark picture o...

In a world increasingly defined by digital connections and isolation, the biblical concept of community has never been more vital. This message dives deep into Acts 2:42-47, revealing the revolutionary nature of gospel-shaped community that emerged in the church's earliest days. What does authentic Christian community look like? Pastor Daniel Justice examines four powerful distinctives that t...
