Missions Ingathering Day at FBC.  Our team just returning from Lesotho gave a report on what God was doing there on the mission field and the ministry that was completed by them.  Pastor Greg Smith preached from the Great Commission on why our model is Cooperation with other believers to make disciples of all nations.

Terry Solley learned his trade from his father, bank robbing, and spent 28 years in prison as a result.  There his life was changed by the Lord Jesus Christ.  terry earned a degree from Southwestern Seminary while incarcerated and became a Field Minister, a pastor to inmates in prison.  Now a free man, he still goes into the prison to share Jesus while also leading a ministry called Texas Prison Outreach.

As Jesus prayed the night before He was crucified, He prayed for the gift that is given to all believers.  Pastor Greg Smith, in this third sermon from Jesus' High Priestly Prayer, shows what the Gift of God is and how it applies to you.

Who was this man they called Jesus? Was He just a man?  Was He God?  Was He both?  How can that be?  Pastor Greg Smith preaches from the High Priestly Prayer of Jesus on the reality and significance of the Person of Christ.  The second in a series of sermons from John 17.

John 17 records the Lord's Prayer.  Not the prayer Jesus taught His disciples to pray.  The prayer He Himself prayed the evening before His crucifixion.  This is part one of Pastor Greg Smith's series of sermons from this incredible chapter.

It is the second look that kills!  Temptation to sin presents itself to the believer at every turn.  And there is no such thing as hidden sin, or sin that carries no consequence.  The consequence of sin is death but Jesus gives life.  Pastor Greg Smith preaching from the passage dealing with David and his sin with Bathsheba.

David was the King of Grace to a member of Saul's family that deserved death.  And like Mephibosheth, we all deserve death, but our King, Jesus give life.  Jesus is the King of Grace.  Pastor Greg Smith preaching Second Samuel 9.

Why do you do the things you do?  Why do you act the way you do?  We all have a throne set up in our lives upon which our ruler sits.  What rules your life?  Pastor Greg Smith uses the life of David as an example of what it means to follow Christ and let Him rule your life.

There are many giants in life that rise up and confront us with challenges that keep seek to keep us from living victorious lives.  David's defeat of the giant Goliath is a testament to how God intends Believers to live and handle the giants in their lives.  Pastor Greg Smith preaches from the 17th chapter of First Samuel.

What is God looking for in the life of His children?  He is looking for a heart that looks like His.  David was a "man after God's own heart."  He had a heart for God and one that looked like God's heart.  Pastor Greg Smith explains what that looks like and what God wants to see in us.
