In this edition of Footnotes, the Pastors expound on a point in a recent sermon about false teachers. When preaching on 2 Peter 2:1-22, Pastor Mark pointed out that a wrong Christology, or doctrine of Christ, is a sign of a false teacher. In this episode, the guys set out to help you develop a biblical view of who Jesus is - and who He is not. Thanks for listening to Footnotes, a podcast that enables us to dive deeper into the matters of the church.

In this edition of Footnotes, Pastor Mark and the guys discuss two vital yet often neglected aspects of church life: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. What are the ordinances, and why does it matter how we go about administering them? Is it just outdated church tradition, or is it something church members should highly value? Thanks for listening to Footnotes, a podcast that enables us to dive deeper into the matters of the church.

In this episode of Footnotes, Mark is joined by Mark! Mark Gwartney, a former member of Broadway, now serves as a missionary in Uganda. In their conversation, Mark and Mark discuss the Gwartney's call overseas, their experience there, and how church members can be involved in the advancement of the gospel to the ends of the earth. Thanks for tuning in!

A vibrant church always has singing babies and crying men... wait, is that right? In this edition of Footnotes, the pastors discuss three sure signs of life in a local church: children participating in worship, men who sing, and people who crave God's word above all else. Thanks for tuning in!

In this episode, the pastors discuss the concept of "easy to edify, hard to offend" in light of Jeremiah Burrough's The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment. Why are we sinfully inclined to criticize and be discontent? How can we cultivate hearts that are gracious and thankful?

We are actively working to make The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment available in our book nook. The modernized edition that we like is currently out of stock, but we hope to have it soon! If you're really itching to read it, ask Timothy or Jackson to borrow their copy!

On this episode, Pastor Mark and company discuss the topic of church hospitality. Specifically, how should members greet those who visit our church?

In the conversation, we consider these questions: Are we a welcoming church? What do we do well, and what areas do we have room to improve? And what specific things can we do to grow in these areas?

Thanks for tuning in to Footnotes. Learn more at broadwaychurch.org.

In this special edition of Footnotes, we hear from a variety of our church members about God's faithfulness to our church over the past 100 years.

This panel was originally recorded on December 4, 2024, at Broadway Baptist Church's "Great Is Thy Faithfulness Celebration." Additionally, members were given the opportunity to share a testimony of God's goodness to them through the ministry of Broadway.

Thank you, church members, for making this special edition of Footnotes possible!

It’s not possible to do too many good things… right? As we press into the new year, the pastors talk about the danger of missional drift. There’s no shortage of good things that the church can pour time and resources into. What are the non-negotiable essentials of the church? How does a church discern between good and better? 

Footnotes is a ministry of Broadway Baptist Church in Southaven, MS. Footnotes is hosted by Dr. Mark Livingston, Lead Pastor. Worship with us each Sunday at 10:30 AM! To learn more about our church, visit broadwaychurch.org.
