First Baptist Church of Cape Girardeau : The Podcast

This sermon is the first in a new sermon series: Twelve Simple Words. We will be exploring 12 words that capture times or seasons in our spiritual journey. For our first word, Here, Tyler explores the practice of invocation. What does it mean for us to be truly present? How does the story of Moses and the burning bush remind us that God is already here with us?

In this sermon Tyler explores the profound nature of communion, and the nature of gratitude amongst a world that is never satisfied. Perhaps everything we need is already around us.

What does it mean to be neighborly? In this sermon, Tyler channels Mr. Rogers as we explore seven ways that scripture (and Mr. Rogers!) taught us about neighborliness.

In this sermon Tyler explores the mystery of eternal life, and how heaven is far beyond what many Christians today imagine.  Through God's will, we have a chance to see heaven brought down to earth.

Do you people that people can change? In this sermon, we explore the journey of a man named Saul as he has a paradigm-shifting encounter with Jesus Christ. We also explore what this passage might be saying to us about what it means to be receptive to God's Spirit in our own lives.

In this sermon, Tyler discusses the deep brokenness in all of us: and the importance of confession, remembrance, and repentance.  Both as a individuals and as a culture, we should pray and embrace the life-altering power of repentance.

In this sermon, Tyler looks at the story of the Tower of Babel.  As Christians, we are called by Christ to celebrate diversity and observe the redemptive grace inherit to this story.

In this sermon, Tyler deals with one of the most difficult passages in the Bible. It's a passage that has been misused for a long time and because of that some people just ignore it altogether. However, maybe there is a word of hope and Gospel in this passage. Maybe we can learn something about having healthy marriages, being good parents, and serving as Christ-honoring employers.

In this sermon, Tyler speaks about the radical implications of Christ's message and how--in spite of how some may read it today--these words are words of comfort; meant to bring us closer to God.

Guest Reverend Dr. Jeff Long addresses the pain and the beauty of the things unseen, as we struggle with our own identities, we are asked to consider the true purpose of Christ.  Sometimes as Christians we must remember that the Christ we need offers far more than the Christ we want.
