First General Baptist

Christ paid a debt He didn't owe to pay a debt we couldn't pay.
 
Charles Colson,  "Psychiatry, properly administered, can turn a schizophrenic bank robber into a mentally healthy bank robber; a good teacher can turn an illiterate criminal into an educated criminal.  But they are still bank robbers and criminals."
 

Don Matzat,  "We need a crucified savior, not a support group." 
Message: The Gospel according to Luke

Text: Luke 2:8-20

What is "important" in your life?

Message: The Gospel according to Luke
Text: Luke 2:1-7
Caesar Augustus was the most powerful man in the world at the time Jesus was born and placed in a manger because that’s all they had. I know where Jesus is...where is Caesar Augustus?
 
Why a cattle trough in Bethlehem?
 
Mozart,  "Remember, merciful Jesus, that I am the cause of your journey."
 
The good news is not that Jesus lived and died, but that He died and lives.
 
Philip Yancey,  "In Jesus, God came close...What differences did Jesus make?  Both for God and for us, He made possible an intimacy that had never before existed."
 
Henri Nouwen,  "There is no journey to God outside of the journey that Jesus made."

What do you need to pray about right now?

Message: The Gospel according to Luke
Text: Luke 1:57-80
 
Prayer and Praising
 
It’s exciting when we see the fulfillment of our prayers and God’s promises...and disappointing when we don’t
 
The desire of your heart is your prayer. Your burden is your prayer...no matter what your mouth says
 
 
Soren Kierkegaard's prayer,  "I do not feel that I am strong enough to resemble You and in so doing die for You or for Your cause;  I content myself with something less, with worshipfully thanking you  because you would die for me."
