The Lord's supper is one of the two ordinances that Jesus instituted. In this message, Jason Fuller reminds us that it is a memorial to what Christ has done for us and reminds us how to prepare to receive it.

John Bickham challenges us to put it in drive, trust the Lord, and watch as He directs our path!

It has been said, "The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world." God created women to fulfill the unique role of motherhood. No mom does it perfect. There are highs and lows. There are joys and challenges. We hope you enjoy our panel of five moms as they discuss the role of being a Christian mom. 

Everyone has questions! In this episode, we hear a Q&A session from our Apologetics conference back in April. Maybe you have a question too? Send us an email and we will discuss your question on the podcast!

As Christians, we are wise to have margin in every area of our lives. We should have some room to breathe when it comes to how we spend our time, things that tempt us, and also how we handle our finances. Much of America has little financial margin and is plagued by debt. Scripture reminds us that debt enslaves us. In this message, we are encouraged, through scripture, to deal with our debt and cr...

In this episode, J. Warner Wallace discusses the incredible impact Jesus has had on the arts throughout history and why this is so significant. You can check out his newest book: Person of Interest: Why Jesus Still Matters In A World That Rejects the Bible. 

Humans are naturally oriented to acquiring things! As Americans, we are constantly enticed to buy and upgrade. While it is fine to have nice things, we must continuously keep our roaming eyes in check. Jesus reminds us that we can only serve one master. We all must ask ourselves, "What do I truly treasure?"

Bruce Shelley stated, “Christianity is the only major religion to have at its central event the humiliation of its God.” Scripture gives us some bad news, we have some serious problems. Yet, it also gives us some good news. The good news is found in humiliation and brutal murder of God. 

Jesus came as a suffering servant. He came as a servant to the world. In John 13, He demonstrates his humility by washing the feet of His disciples. He came and died that each of us might be washed clean of our sins. That is some GOOD NEWS! However, not everyone welcomes the good news. We must first receive it into our lives and then share it with the world around us!

In the conclusion to our UnApologetic Series, Dr. Craig Hazen, from Biola University, lays out an incredible case on the historical evidence of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ!

Meaning, value, and purpose? Does anything truly matter? Do our lives really have any ultimate significance? Does having the conversation about meaning, value, and purpose point us to God? 

Is the Bible reliable? How did we get the Bible as we know it today? In this message, we discuss an Apologetic or defense of scripture itself.

If God is all powerful, good, and loving, then why evil? Why is there evil and suffering? How is it possible that both God and evil can exist? What should our response to suffering be? 

Sermon from 3-6-22. Red pill or blue pill? Do we really want to know the truth? Do we love it enough to share it? Truth has been attacked from the very beginning and the attacks have continued to escalate. It is time for Christians to speak the truth, but to do it in love. 

Do we need apologetics as parents? What is apologetics anyway? Why do 3 out of 4 kids walk away from church by the time the enter college? In this episode, Josh discusses the importance of apologetics as we raise our kids with special guest, Eric Hernandez, who is the lead apologist for Texas Baptists. 

Sermon from 2-27-22. Why are you a Christian? Why should other people become Christians? What is Apologetics? Why is it important? In this message, Eric Hernandez addresses these questions. 

Prayer is often viewed as a last resort, when it should be a priority behavior. In this message Randy Fults reminds us of the importance of prayer in our lives as he works through Mark 11:20-26.

Who are we? We are the workmanship of God! 

Sermon from 2-6-22. What are the roles of husbands and wives in marriage? How do we submit to one another? In Ephesians 5:22-33, Paul offers some wisdom that cuts against the cultural grain. Wives, respect your husbands. Husbands, respect your wives!

Sermon from 1-30-22. Yes, "Walk Good" is not correct English, but, as the saying goes, "When in Jamaica, does as the Jamaicans", or something like that. As we continue on in our series "Inheritance" we are challenged to be careful how we walk. Ephesians 5:1-16 reminds us to walk in love, light, and wisdom.

A quick challenge to daily renew your mind for all the road warriors out there. Our thought comes from Romans 12:2, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."

First Cast? What is that? Is this some sort of fishin' podcast? Nah, it's the "official" podcast of First Baptist Church Orange. In this first episode, we discuss the purpose behind the First Cast. 

If you like lists, this episode is for you! In Ephesians 4:25-32, the Apostle Paul challenges Christians to live like Christ. We live like Christ not to have a relationship with Him, but because we have a relationship with Him. This is part of the study in Ephesians entitled: "Inheritance."  (1-23-22)

This episode is from our study entitled "Inheritance" from book of Ephesians. In Ephesians 4:17-24, Paul reminds us that we are a new creation in Christ.
