In Matthew 5, Pastor Andrew teaches that Jesus calls His followers to more than outward religion. True righteousness starts in the heart and shows itself in how you treat even those who hurt you. This message explains what it means to love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who persecute you. It challenges you to reflect the mercy and grace of God in everyday life.

The Most Important Two-Letter Word explains why one small word, if carries such weight in 1 Corinthians 15. Pastor Andrew shows that if Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead, faith would be empty, sins would remain, and hope would be lost, but because Jesus is risen, you can have forgiveness, life, and victory. The message also challenges believers to live for Christ now and calls anyone unsure of their salvation to trust Jesus personally.

IF there is no resurrection...

Christ is not risen

Our preaching is vain

Our faith is vain

We are liars

We are still in our sins

Everyone who has died is in Hell

IF there is a resurrection...

Christ is alive

We can be made alive

The Heart of the Matter Part 4: Retaliation challenges you to let go of revenge and trust God with justice. Pastor Andrew teaches from Matthew 5 that Jesus calls His followers to a higher way, one marked by restraint, grace, and a spirit that does not cling to personal rights. Instead of striking back, you are encouraged to respond with humility, protect your testimony, and live in a way that reflects Christ.

Dr. Bryan Stensaas continues a careful study through the opening chapters of Genesis, showing what Scripture teaches about Gods character and mans responsibility. This message highlights Gods sovereignty, goodness, order, moral authority, power, mercy, holiness, justice, and faithfulness, while also emphasizing that God gave man a real choice. The sermon challenges Calvinistic ideas and calls you back to the clear teaching of Genesis: God is holy, man is accountable, and the Bibles foundation begins right here.

Pastor Andrew teaches from 1 Peter 1:17-21 that if you call God your Father, you should live with reverence before Him. This message reminds you that God is both Father and Judge, that this life is temporary, and that you are called to live holy and bold for Christ. It also points you to the precious blood of Jesus Christ, the only sufficient price for your redemption, and urges you not to live casually, but to live fully for the Lord.

Four Steps To Winning In Bed by Dave and Bethlie Young presents a Bible-based look at marriage, communication, and intimacy from a Christian perspective. The message emphasizes that the marriage bed is honorable, that intimacy is a gift from God, and that spouses should learn to serve one another with grace, humility, and honesty. It also addresses practical obstacles like excuses, hurts, and distractions, encouraging couples to build a joyful, faithful, and God-honoring marriage.

Dave and Bethlie Young share five practical, Bible-based steps to improve communication in marriage. Drawing from Ephesians 4 and James 1:19, they emphasize doing it consistently, removing hindrances like phones and distractions, taking advantage of normal daily moments, learning to listen well, remembering to laugh together, building each other up instead of tearing down, and continuing to grow spiritually. With over 32 years of marriage and five children, they offer real-life encouragement that communication is a we event designed to strengthen your relationship and reflect Christ.

In Matthew 5:33‑37, Jesus cites the Old Testament commands not to swear falsely and to perform vows made to the Lord, then exposes how people used clever oath systems (swearing by heaven, earth, Jerusalem, even their own head) as loopholes to sound truthful without actually being trustworthy. He reminds them that heaven is Gods throne, earth His footstool, and Jerusalem the city of the great King, so every promise is effectively made in Gods presence and must be kept. The point is not banning all formal vows (like legal contracts), but calling Gods people to be so marked by integrity that a simple yes or no is enough.

In this message from Philippians 1:36, Pastor Andrew challenges every generation at First Baptist Church to think beyond the past 75 years and look ahead. God began a good work in this church, and He intends to continue it until the day of Jesus Christ. You are urged to guard the gospel, continue the mission of reaching souls, and build for the future so the next generation inherits a faithful, Bible-preaching church. Rather than simply holding on until Christ returns, this sermon calls you to run your leg of the race well and pass the baton of truth on.

Preaching from Psalm 73, Luke Knaus shares how Asaph wrestled with a question many believers still ask: why do the wicked seem to prosper while the righteous suffer? Asaph watches arrogant, ungodly people succeed and begins to wonder if living clean and serving God is in vain, until he goes into the sanctuary of God and sees their end and Gods justice. Luke explains that true hope is not found in this broken world, but in a just and holy God who will ultimately judge sin and reward faithfulness in eternity. You are invited to anchor your heart in Gods presence, not in what you see around you.
