First Presbyterian Church of Baton Rouge episodes

  • The New and Living Way
    Faced with such a stark, eternal choice, every believer would say, “I pick Jesus!” So why do we live every day as if we could set aside the sacrifice Jesus made and build our own kingdom? Why do we get bored with the idea of his blood making us holy and stop pursuing him?
    Hebrews’ encouragement to draw near with confidence is not given as a marketing tool in hopes that I might decide to buy the Jesus product this week. It’s not a spiritual option presented as an alternative should I get tired of myself. It’s a command. Scripture’s says, “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say rejoice.” That’s not a suggestion. It’s a directive. Not only your immediate fulfillment depends on making full use of your first class ticket to the Father. The eternal evaluation of your life is based on your living from the Jesus who saved you by his blood.

  • The Iconic Savior

    Centuries of hints in Scripture burned into our souls the reality that none of us is true in heart. All of us are lawbreakers on the inside. We cannot get connected to God just by trying to be good, or by pounding out a record of good deeds. But God came to do for us what we could not do. The Father sent the Son who said, “A body you have prepared for me.” You gave me flesh and blood in order that I might live the life of faithfulness from the heart. I came to live what is required of a human being in right relation to his Father in heaven. Christ came to us to do the will of God on our behalf, and in the end to make a sacrifice of himself on the cross that would truly take away our sin. Hebrews tells us we have been made holy, made clean, through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all.
