FBCBF Sermons

Criticism is where God's glory can shine the brightest!

Streaming started after our VBS program finished.

We were made to worship, and we all do worship - either the creation or the Creator. Don't settle for worshipping the things of the world. Come and hear the gospel message which leads us to worship, in spirit and truth, the one true God.

In the story of Peter's vision of eating unclean food, we see how the gospel of Christ saves undeserving men and changes the prejudice in our hearts. 

Acts 9:32-43 presented by Pastor Brian Mull

Acts 9:19b-31 presented by Pastor Brian Mull

The story of Paul's conversion, as amazing as it was, is no different from our own. We too were saved by grace alone, through an act of surrender, moved from darkness to light, received a new family, and now identify with Christ. If you have yet to experience such redemption, come and taste God's word this Sunday.

Presented by guest speaker Ray Howe.

Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus was a dramatic display of God's grace. Let us recognize that God's salvation of each of us is a profound story. Come and hear the amazing story of how God saves sinners like you and me.

In our passage today, we see how Philip explained who Christ was to the Ethiopian eunuch much like Christ had explained His death and resurrection to the disciples on the road to Emmaus. Come and let God's word speak to you this blessed Easter Sunday.

The story of Simon the magician in Acts 9 is puzzling. What can we glean from it? Come and hear Pastor Mull this Sunday. We're all in a battle and need to guard our own hearts. We should pray for others, both those who are in Christ, and especially those who don't know Him.

Our message picks up today right after Stephen's death, where Christians continue to be persecuted. But then we see something remarkable; this same persecution becomes the wind that blows the Gospel seed to new soil and produces a new harvest. Philip was one of those faithful seed bearers.

Stephen boldly proclaimed who Jesus was before the high priests. His defense resulted in his death by stoning, but it also resulted in an incredible victory for the gospel message. What a challenge for us all!

The story of Stephen in Acts 6 tells of a man used by God in an incredible way to share the truth about Jesus. He was empowered by God to perform great wonders and signs, to speak to his accusers with wisdom and grace, and to endure his trial to the very end. Come and hear this amazing story!

Acts 6:1-7 presented by Pastor Paul Sankey

In Acts 5, we see Peter and the apostles beaten for preaching the gospel. Their response? They rejoiced that they were counted as worthy to suffer dishonor for the name of Jesus. And so what is our calling as believers? That through the word of our testimonies, we too may suffer with joy, overcome by the blood of the Lamb, and do it all for the glory of God!

In this week's sermon, we see God using an angel to free the apostles from prison - the very prison the religious leaders had put them in for teaching about Jesus. And what do they do when freed?  Immediately return to teaching the people in the temple. The religious leaders were more than a little perplexed!

In Acts 5, we see God's glory revealed to the early through miraculous healings. The people knew the poverty of their sin and came before the Lord seeking pure hands and a pure heart.  Are we also broken over our sin? Are we willing to go humbly before Him and receive forgiveness and healing?

In our passage from Acts 5, we see a stark contrast between Barnabas, being filled with the Holy Spirit, and Ananias and Saphira, whose hearts were filled with hypocrisy and deceit. Their end result reminds us that we worship a holy God, and we must never minimize sin.

The early church was marked by unity, power, grace, and generosity. As Christians today, we are called to do the same. If we love one another, the world will know that we are Christ's disciples.

Acts 4:23-31 presented by Pastor Brian Mull.

Pastor Brian continues to expound on Peter's sermon from Acts 4. Please join us!

In Peter's second sermon in Acts 3, he admonishes his audience to humble themselves, realize who Jesus really was, admit their guilt, repent of their sins, and realize the future hope that awaits them.  And so we too need to hear those very same admonishments today.

Peter's sermon in Acts 3 shows how we can be refreshed through repentance and renewing of our minds. Are you going through a dry season?  Are you thirsty?  Come and hear how God forgives and refreshes us.
