The Farmville Baptist Church Podcast

In Pastor Adam's absence this week, Deacon Chair Ken Copeland brought a short sermon reflecting on faithful Christian living.  The choir offered a beautiful anthem, and the church highlighted local mission partners during the FBC Mission Offering emphasis.  If you would like to contribute to the local mission work of Farmville Baptist Church, you can do so by sending a check (132 N. Main St., Farm...

As we enter the autumn at Farmville Baptist Church, we turn to the letter of James to consider how Jesus calls us to follow him in practical, realistic ways. Most of the time, those ways are nothing new - they are things we already know to do - but we might need some reminders of how to live as Jesus' followers here and now. September is also the time of year when we support our mission partners h...

We wrap up our study of the church in Acts as it carried the fire of God's Spirit in new directions!

We continue our look at how the early church carried the fire of God's Spirit and how we can learn to carry the fire today.

Controversy is part of life - but we can still walk through controversy together as we carry the fire of the Spirit!

We return to our look at how the early church carried the fire of the Holy Spirit - and changed the world!

We welcome Rev. Glenn Maddox, National Missions Director for the BGAV, to the pulpit this week.

As we continue pondering what it means to carry the fire of God's Spirit, we hear the story of the Antioch church and the revolutionary ways they carried the fire - together.

It is so easy to become siloed in our world - to see the world only through the eyes of our own experience and connect with people who are like us.  Yet the Gospel tells us that God loves everyone, and the church is to move out of the silos the world tries to put us in and into the joyful reality of a community of believers across all dividing lines.  This is a hard lesson to learn, though - even...

Carrying the Spirit's fire will often mean we care for and help those who are hurting, grieving, or suffering.  Peter showed how the early church did this in the stories of Aeneas and Tabitha.

We continue to ponder how we are called to carry the fire of God's Spirit with the story of Phillip and the Ethiopian eunuch, from Acts 8:26-40.  Pastor Adam helps us ponder if there is anyone who we don't think "fits in," and whether or not we can say "no" to someone seeking God when Jesus has said "yes."

We continue our series on carrying the fire of the Spirit by thinking together how we imitate Christ through our humility as we serve God. Just before the sermon, Pastor Adam also speaks briefly about the recent choices of the Southern Baptist Convention concerning women in ministry.

In the season of Pentecost, we consider how we are called to carry the fire - and this week, we think about how to carry the fire, no matter what!

In the season of Pentecost, we consider how we are called to carry the fire - on this Sunday, the fire of truth.

In the season of Pentecost, we consider how we are called to carry the fire - on this Sunday, for the ignored.

On Pentecost Sunday, we celebrated the gift of God's Spirit to the church, and rejoiced with Tim Shelton, Juby Towler, and McKinley Towler as they were baptized.

We conclude the season after Easter with a look at how the resurrection experiences of the first disciples and what they sensed still play a role in our faith today.

We continue the season after Easter with a look at the resurrection experiences of the first disciples through the lens of their senses.  This week, we consider how important the sense of sight was, not just to the first disciples who saw Jesus, but to all of us who believe based on what they saw.

We continue the season after Easter with a look at the resurrection experiences of the first disciples through the lens of their senses.  This week: we see how the sense of touch played an important role in the disciples' experience of the resurrected Jesus!
