First Church Podcast

Why was Israel attacked in October 2023? Why has Israel faced so many enemies and attackers? Why are so many people around the world so polarized over such a small nation? In this first message in the Headlines & God's Lines series, Pastor Daryle Williams traces God's covenant with Israel 4,000 years ago through to present day.

Knowing about something is great, but knowing facts, history, and statistics don't compare with actually experiencing it. At First Church we emphasize connecting to God, connecting to others, and connecting to our purpose - and experiencing each of these things in our lives.

Jesus told a parable about a man hiring workers to work in a field. The point of the story is that if we show up for God, God will always show up for us and give us provision, blessings, and His presence.

The most meaningful way to experience God is to walk with Him. Both Enoch and Noah in the Bible walked with God and they walked in faith, chose the path of righteousness, and they walked in a way that pleased God.

Have you ever felt like God was absent? Have you longed to experience God but it seems like He's just not there? In this first message in the Experience series, Pastor Daryle Williams helps us understand 5 reasons why we may feel like we are not experiencing God and how to push through them.

The apostle Paul lived a complete life. He said, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, and I have kept the faith." Pastor David Hale concludes the Complete series by challenging us to be like Paul and fight, keep the faith, and get back on course.

What does a Complete life look like? The most complete life ever lived was Jesus himself. But he didn't have all the things we usually associate with a complete life. What He did have was a dynamic connection to God, He loved others passionately, and He was committed to His purpose. If we have these things in our lives, they too will be complete.

Your life is made up of many unique pieces. The Bible says that you are uniquely designed. You are not like anyone else. You are your own beautiful puzzle. But, as you put the pieces of your life together, if there is a piece missing, the picture of your life will not look right. Jesus is the only piece that fits into the missing void in our lives.

Many people feel unfulfilled in life - incomplete. In this first message in the Complete series, Pastor Daryle Williams shows us that even though Satan and those around us want to help us find fulfillment elsewhere, we can truly be complete in Jesus.

The Bible tells us that without faith it is impossible to please God. Where does faith come from? It comes from remembering what God has done in the past so you have confidence in what God can do in your future.
