First Presbyterian Church of Baton Rouge episodes

  • Ready to Eat!
    God does not usually act with the magic we longed for as children.
    But he does act:
    To end the deep loneliness we feel.
    To heal us from within.
    To turn our hearts from bitterness to love.
    To give us hope in the face of death that we can live eternally.

  • Joy to the World

    We are called to prepare room in our hearts for Christ. To set loose our songs in praise. To choke off the sins that entangle us. To dig up the thorns that pierce people in our society and relationships. To speak sharply to the sorrow that wants to swallow us as we bid our hearts rejoice in the one who alone is the source of abiding joy.

    We do all these things as we lift up our voices and sing with our hearts “Joy to the World.” Worship is a kind of defiance. We defy the way things are in the world by singing the praises of our present and active savior. We look at the world that could make us despair and nevertheless sing a joyful song. We mock the evil one as we extol the excellencies of our reigning king. Taking up our instruments and raising our voices, we herald Christ’s arrival in the present moment. Worship alone sweeps us up into the one great story of Jesus, of all he has done to save us and all he will do to set the world right.

  • O Little Town

    The hope for the world is realized through personal reception of the gift of the savior. It’s not the other way around. We don’t wait for the world to get right before we have personal hope. Rather, individual, personal faith in what God has done through the child of Bethlehem alone gives us hope for how the history of the entire world will turn out. If we pin our hopes on electing the right person or solving the latest culture crisis, we will always be disappointed. We will always be in upheaval. Hope comes through the humility of receiving the gift of the tiny babe in Bethlehem as the redeemer of our souls who will, in his time, bring all the world to new life and re-creation.
