We’re starting this new year with a 9 week series from Jesus’ teaching on the Beatitudes.

The Beatitudes is a section from one of Jesus’ most famous sermons, where Jesus talks about the values of kingdom living. This message, we’ll do an overview, and then for the next few weeks, we’ll do a deep dive on each of the beatitudes.

This series will be a great way to start the new year and center ourselves on living like Jesus.

Take a look at Matthew 5:1-12 for this Sunday.

In this sermon, we’ll consider how God makes all things new. Whether 2019 was a great year for you or a year of challenge and difficulty, we’ll explore how God uses all things for our good. We’ll look at the conversation that Jesus had with a man named Nicodemus, who got to hear firsthand from Jesus how God makes all things new.

Take a look at John 3 for this message.

This sermon at First B, Pastor Ben continues our series of advent messages around different themes of the Christmas season. Take a look at Romans 5:3-5 and John 13-17 for this message.

This message is our choir, orchestra, and kids choir Christmas celebration!

Pastor Ben shares a short message on joy, as we continue in our advent teaching series throughout the season of Christmas.

For the next few weeks, we’re going to do an advent sermon series through the Christmas season about faith, hope, and love. We’ll start with this sermon, with a message all about our immovable hope that is found in Jesus.

This message is our final message in the Real Royals series. We’ll look at how God created us to proclaim him to others.

As Christians, each one of us is a priest in God’s kingdom, and part of our role as priests is to share with others the truth God has taught us about himself as revealed in the Scriptures and supremely in the person of Christ.

For many of us, thinking about sharing God's word with others, whether to another believer or an unbeliever, can be fearful and intimidating. This is especially the case with those closest to us, and even more so with family. That’s why, this message, we will unpack what it means for us to grow in our ability to speak God's truth in love.

As we go into the season of Christmas, and celebration, and family, it’s a perfect time to ask ourselves how God would use us to be priests to one another and to those who do not yet know him.

Read 1 Peter 2:9 & Romans 15:14-16 for this message.

For the past few weeks, we've been talking about our destiny and privilege as God's people. We've been looking at our role as royalty and priests, and how that affects everything in life. Including our money. 💰

A lot of people are uncomfortable talking about money in church, and that makes sense, but we have to remember that Jesus talked about money more than faith and prayer combined, and then times two!

The way we use our money shows what we value and where we place our priorities, and as God's people in training to be more like Jesus, the Gospel affects everything, including how we think about money.

This message won't be a comfortable sermon! We'll explore how God's people are to think about and handle their money! We'll take an honest look at that area of our lives that is so private and yet so revealing to what we truly value the most.

Read Hebrews 13:16 and Philippians 4:18 for this message.

For the past few weeks, we've been looking at our role in God's kingdom as prophets, priests, and royalty.

This message, we'll look in-depth at our role as priests. As priests, we are created to bless God as well as bless those around us. This message, we'll look at the role and responsibility we have to encourage one another, comfort, and care, and sometimes, even confront one another.

The amazing thing about God's kingdom is that all Christians are called to be priests, not just the pastors or ministry leaders.

As priests, we each have the ability to care for those around us, and also receive care when we need it (which sometimes is even harder to do!)

Join us the message as we unpack the role each of us has as priests in God's kingdom and see the influence and care God designed us to have for each other.

In our teaching series called the Real Royals, we’ve been looking at our status and privilege as part of God’s kingdom.

Last message, we looked at the power of our prayers, and this message we’ll learn about how God created us to serve.

God has created us to do good, and he has things planned for us to do. The Bible describes that we are his craftsmanship, and we are gifted and equipped for the service he has prepared for us.

Sometimes we forget that God has wired us uniquely to be able to participate in his kingdom work. Some roles are more obvious or look more spiritual, like a pastor on a stage or even a musician singing, but in reality each of us has a part to play in the work of God’s rule and reign being established on earth.

Read Hebrews 13:16 & Matthew 5:14-16

What does fervent prayer look like?

How does prayer work?

This message we're doing a deep dive on prayer and the privilege we have as Christians.

The past few weeks we've been in a teaching series called the Real Royals, where we've been looking at our status as prophets, priests, and royalty in God's kingdom.

This message, as we explore the subject of prayer as taught by Jesus, you will learn the incredible way God allows and invites us to engage with him in prayer.

Read Matthew 6:9-10 and Revelation 5:8 & 8:3-4 for this message.
