Nashville First Baptist Church

We are a church for the city because we serve a God who loves this city. Just as God called the exiles in Jeremiah 29 to seek the welfare of Babylon, He calls us to seek the flourishing of Nashville. 

Today is the completion of our Lord’s Prayer series. Bryan Barley will be preaching on the significance of saying, "Amen."

In a world that often entices us with fleeting pleasures and the pursuit of a “good life” built by our own hands, these words call us back to the eternal and unshakeable Kingdom of God. The power we seek in our achievements and the glory we crave in recognition can never truly satisfy. But in God’s Kingdom, we find a reign that endures, a power that saves, and a glory that shines brighter than anything this world can offer. 

"Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us form evil." This isn't just about avoiding wrong choices; it's about understanding the spiritual battle we all face.

Pastor Thomas West explores the theme of forgiveness—a thorny yet vital issue that touches every heart. Forgiveness is essential for healing our hurts and freeing us from the burdens of resentment and bitterness.

Bryan Barley, Discipleship Pastor preaches on “Give us this day our daily bread.” This powerful line reminds us of our deep need for God’s daily provision. In a world where self-sufficiency is often celebrated, this prayer awakens us to the reality that we rely on Jesus for everything.

"Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." This powerful line invites us to seek God's reign and His will in our lives and the world around us. 

What’s in a name? For many, a name is a significant part of their identity. We feel hurt when our name is not given the respect it deserves. Now, imagine the importance of. God’s name. It’s not just a label but an expression of who he is and what he is like. 

For 2,000 years Christians on every continent, and in every language, have prayed this prayer to God. Over the next eight weeks, we will not only study this prayer in depth but also practice it together, seeking to understand and live out its profound truths for our everyday lives.

Bryan Barley, Discipleship Pastor, looks into Matthew 12:38-42 and focuses on how Jonah points us to Jesus.
