Pastor Josh Hall takes a break from his CHOOSE JOY series in Philippians to present this Palm Sunday message from Psalm 24 and John 12:12-19, "Who Is This King of Glory?"

On the 3rd Sunday in March, 2020, churches all over the country were closed due to COVID restrictions. But FBCWM never missed a beat, beginning instead a parking lot service called FBC DRIVES IN. Each year at this time, we remember how God blessed us during those days and celebrate His faithfulness through it all. Pastor Josh Hall shares this message in the parking lot, "Rejoice in Suffering," and discusses 3 reason that we can rejoice in suffering:

1. What God Has Done For Us - vv. 1 - 2

2. What God Is Doing In Us - vv. 3 - 4

3. What God Has In Store For Us - v. 5

Dr. Jimmy Millikin, retired Professor of Theology at Mid-America Baptist Seminary, steps in for our ailing pastor to share this message on "Revival."
