We Are FBC 2: Walk the Walk by Sherman Burkhead

This Sunday is Vision Sunday where we look ahead at the Vision that God has given FBC for the future.

Protecting our children is a natural part of parenting. And as parents we do a pretty good job protecting them from external threats. We encourage our kids to buckle up, call us when they get where they are going and not to talk to strangers. The problem is there in an invisible predator preying on our children, and it's not "out there". It's actually in our homes right under our very noses. Listen to part 4 as we talk about this deadly predator and what we can do to protect our children.

"There is not a responsibility any bigger or more important than our responsibility to make sure that our children have a saving relationship with God through Jesus Christ." In part 3 of our series we look at the struggle so many parents have when it come to helping their children to answer the most important question they will ever have to face: "Are you in Christ or are you not?"

85% of evangelical youth “drop out” of church between 10th – 12th grade. Where did we go wrong? We went wrong when we started believing that our children’s spiritual growth and development is the churches responsibility and not our as parents. Listen to Part 2 and find out what we can pass on an authentic robust faith to the next generation.

As parents we miss the mark when fail to live in the balance that God created us for. The balance between being discipline and encouragement. In Part one of this new series we look at what the Bible says about this balance and what to do about it.

"If the enemy is willing to try to use the Word of God against Jesus you can be absolutely certain that he will try to use it against you."

Listen as we discuss the three tactics the enemy employs to use the Word of God as a weapon against mankind, and what we can do to be prepared for them.

"Whom will you serve"? Joshua asked this question because he knew two things about people. #1 Prosperity causes people to loose sight of their need for God and #2 People's hearts are prone to wander. Joshua knew that once the struggle was over it would be easy for many to fall away. Listen to Part 6 of "Be Strong and Courageous."

The battle for one city was a complete success, and the battle for the next city was an abysmal failure. Something happened in between that caused God to withdraw his help from the Israelites. In part 4 we explore what happened and what we need to do in our lives to continue to Be Strong and Courageous.

"And Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our adversaries?” And he said, “No; but I am the commander of the army of the LORD. Now I have come.” ~Joshua 5:14-15

"Is God on our side?" Is the wrong question to ask. The right question is "Are we on God's side?"
