Faith Answers with Gary Roy

In this special episode of Faith Answers, Pastor Gary Roy celebrates the 41st anniversary of Colonial Oaks Baptist Church while teaching from Acts 2 on the true foundations of the Lord’s church. Looking at the early believers after Pentecost, he highlights four essential pillars: the apostles’ doctrine (the preaching and teaching of God’s Word), genuine fellowship, the breaking of bread (including the Lord’s Supper), and prayers. Pastor Gary shows how these biblical practices create a living, Spirit-filled body rather than just a social organization, and how they still form the pattern for a healthy church today.

The message includes a clear gospel invitation and a call for believers to examine their hearts as they remember Christ’s sacrifice.

In this episode of Faith Answers, Pastor Gary Roy continues his study of Mark 13 and the Olivet Discourse with a focus on endurance. Looking at Jesus’ words that “he who endures to the end shall be saved,” he clarifies the context for Israel during the tribulation while drawing practical lessons for believers today. Pastor Gary highlights three key truths: the enduring message of God’s unchanging Word, the reality of opposition and the cost of following Christ, and the need for enduring faith that is strong in the Lord and the power of His might.

Listeners are encouraged to put on the whole armor of God, speak what the Holy Spirit gives, and stand firm until Jesus returns. The message closes with a clear gospel invitation.

In this encouraging episode of Faith Answers, Pastor Gary Roy teaches from Mark 10 about Blind Bartimaeus, the beggar who cried out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Despite the crowd telling him to be quiet, Bartimaeus called out even louder. Jesus stopped, called him, and restored his sight through faith. Pastor Gary draws the powerful parallel to our spiritual condition — we are all spiritually blind until Jesus opens our eyes through salvation. Once we receive spiritual sight, we can see clearly what God is doing and follow Him on the road.
