First Presbyterian Church of Baton Rouge episodes

  • A Trip to the Rag and Bone Shop
    How do we understand the filthy straw of the manger wherein the Savior of the human race laid his sweet head? Advent is a time of remembering the past in order that it becomes a part of the one expectation and hope. Matthew takes us through the "rag and bone shop" of the genealogy of Jesus Christ. There's a Savior coming. He even stops at the foul rag and bone shop of our hearts. The eternal Son of God has stepped into the outrage of our descent.

  • The Push

    The world outside the circle of union with Christ has questions for us. They want to know if we are any different than they are. They want to know if Jesus is real to us, and if we are real about Jesus. And every Christian must be able to speak what makes Jesus true and real in our lives. That means that for the sake of the world we are called to live passionate, authentic lives in Christ. So Paul urges us to get in on the great Push. The Push in prayer, the Push out toward the world, the Push in gracious conversation.

  • House Rules

    Here’s the secret. We submit, respect, love, cherish, obey, rule, manage, and work
    always and ever for the Lord Jesus Christ. You may not want to listen to your
    spouse and be supportive and admiring on any particular day. But you can ask
    yourself, “If this were Jesus telling me about his day, would I be interested? If this
    were Jesus asking me to do this task, would I be happy to do it?” Well, the truth is,
    it is Jesus. Every duty is unto him. When we get this, then we have an internal
    freedom.

    See to it that you fulfill the ministry which you have received from the Lord. That's a mission statement for life. It's the reason we love our church. Fulfill your ministry. In your homes, in your work and in your church. What a deal that we get to have a part in what Christ is doing!

  • Getting Dressed

    We get dressed in the awareness that all we do is as a representative of Christ. We enter the world and enter our day as Christ’s ambassadors. We dress to reflect well on our master. So we dress in compassion, forgiveness, love, peace, gratitude and joyful worship. We also go forth in the power of Christ’s name. We’re not making this stuff up. He has given us his life. His story is the one that matters. His name is the power that charms our fears and transforms lives. We get dressed in the power of his life, binding him to us more and more.
