First Baptist Church of Cape Girardeau : The Podcast

In his last sermon at First Baptist Church of Cape Girardeau, Tyler says good bye.

In this sermon, Tyler explores the struggle of understanding just how to tackle "what comes next".  Perhaps we feel lost in life, unsure of our place or what good we can do.  The model of good--we continue to discover--has already been laid out for us in Christ.  Work together in His name, and see what blessings we can bring to the world.

In this sermon, Tyler discusses the role of a nameless slave girl in a powerful general's life.  Though this general had power and prestige, he was also trapped in a situation he had no knowledge of how to navigate out of.  It was by listening to the sideline voice in his life that he was able to find healing and restoration.

What voices are we not hearing in our own life?  What is God trying to tell us through them?

In this sermon, Tyler continues through the Revised Common Lectionary.

As we observe the ascent of Elijah we must also come to terms with change in our own lives.  There are times in our life where we are separated from the people close to us.  Though it can be difficult--sometimes even painful--we must also look to God's guidance and see the new direction we are headed.

There is always room for hope amidst the change.

In this special sermon brought to us by Dr. Jeff Long, we examine the ways God uses events in our lives to shape the church and it's people.  Though things may seem distressing, our shepherd watches over us, guiding us to where we are called to be.

Have strength.  Have courage.

This Father's Day, Patrick Tankersley talks about the importance of not just what makes a good man, but what makes a good follower of Christ. As believers, Christ has already laid the groundwork--the blueprint--to what being a good person truly means: even when it may seem radical to the rest of the world.

In this Pentecost sermon, Pastor Tyler explores the coming of the Holy Spirit to the apostles. He points out how the Spirit got them outside of what was comfortable to them and put them in the midst of their community. That same Spirit is available to us and is the only hope for the future of the church.

A short message from the editor.

As Pastor Tyler continues the "Resurrection" series, we explore the beautiful, transformative power of Resurrection.  At the very core of the Resurrection is hope.  It is within this hope that we are asked to become a changed people, a people with the knowledge of what is and what will be.  We too, are promised transformation: both in this life and the next.

In this sermon, Pastor Tyler explores how Paul wants the Corinthian church to understand that the resurrection serves as the reason for both ministry and missions. Tyler is then joined by Becky Gentry, Laura Meece, and Ron Winstead as they share about how the resurrection fuels them for the kingdom-work they are doing.
