Collinsville First Baptist Church

Former Pastor Wade Ricks challenged us with the warning in Hebrews 2 that drifting away from our faith is a real and often subtle danger. Drifting rarely happens all at once—it can begin through neglect and become a slow fade. To guard against it, we must listen intently to the Word of God and give careful attention to the truth we have received. When we neglect God’s Word and allow ourselves to drift, there are consequences. The call is to remain anchored in Christ rather than slowly moving away from Him.

In this message, Pastor Ben teaches from Matthew 13 that the kingdom of heaven is worth more than anything this world can offer. When people truly see the surpassing value of Christ, they will gladly trade everything to follow Him. May many throughout “Our 20” see the value, take the deal, and inherit the kingdom of heaven!

In this message, Pastor JJ teaches from Matthew 13:33 that God is always at work, even when we cannot see it. We are called to faithfully impact those around us, trusting that God is moving in unseen ways and that His kingdom will continue to grow throughout “Our 20.”

In this message, Pastor Ben teaches from Matthew 13 that no act of faith is small in God’s eyes. Like a mustard seed, what seems tiny can have great potential in His hands. Expect God to do more than we can imagine as He uses our faith to bring abundant goodness throughout “Our 20.”

In this message, Pastor Ben teaches from Matthew 13 that God calls us to faithfully sow the gospel throughout “Our 20.” We can scatter the seed without discrimination, refuse discouragement when fruit seems scarce, and trust God to bring an abundant harvest for His glory.

In this message, Pastor Paul explores how compassion should shape every connection within our 20. Through the story of the Good Samaritan, we’re challenged to initiate, get involved, invest, embrace interruptions, include others, and imitate the compassion God has shown us.

In this message, Pastor Ben explores Jesus’ parable of the lost sheep and challenges us to look beyond the comfortable 99. What will it take to faithfully search for the lost in our 20—and how should we respond when they’re finally brought home?

In this message, Pastor Ben challenges us to adopt a “go and tell” mentality that meets people where they are. Though some make excuses, we must prioritize those hungry for Christ and refuse to be satisfied with empty seats so that many in our 20 may come to His banquet!

Here’s a 300-character sermon description:

In this message, Pastor Ben shares from Luke 18:1-8 how persistent prayer, confidence in God’s heart, and faith fuel our intercession. As we pray for our 20, may we never lose heart, trusting fully that God hears our prayers and can do all things!

In this message, Pastor Ben teaches that self-control is more than determination—it is the Holy Spirit producing obedient hearts that honor God. Discover how Jesus modeled perfect self-control and how the Spirit strengthens us to resist temptation and pursue what draws us closer to Christ.
